Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 48 - 47: Score-Farming Maniac, Seeking the Old Master for Skill Boosts!

Chapter 48: Chapter 47: Score-Farming Maniac, Seeking the Old Master for Skill Boosts!

At the moment when the rankings were announced, all candidates nationwide looked up at the countdown and leaderboard in the sky.

Xiao Hongtu originally thought that with his strength, reaching 3,000 points in just under 4 hours would certainly put him at the top of the leaderboard.

But the moment he saw the leaderboard, his face immediately darkened, even though his Xiao Family occupied five of the top 10 positions on the leaderboard.

Su Mo’s name had already spread like wildfire across the country two days ago, so he was naturally aware of it.

Although after the regional exam, he had acknowledged Su Mo’s strength and began to take him seriously, he still did not think it could challenge his own position.

But he didn’t expect that Su Mo would exceed him by nearly 500 points, and as for that Chu Tian, he hadn’t even heard of the name before.

A massive Fireball in his hand gathered and shot forward, instantly killing all four Level 30 small monsters.

This brought his score directly to 3,380 points.

After glancing at the leaderboard, he remained in third place, his face dark as he advanced a bit further toward the center of the dungeon.

In his calculations, Level 30 small monsters were the best place for point farming.

After all, they’re not as scattered as Level 40 ones, nor as scarce as Level 50 ones, and his skills just happen to be able to instant-kill them.

But even so, he still ranked only third.

Chu Tian also didn’t look particularly pleased as he glanced at the leaderboard in mid-air.

After all, he had reached the very center of the dungeon, killing only Elite Monsters over Level 50, each giving him 500 points.

Even with his strength, it took a considerable effort to slay these monsters, and they were extremely rare.

He originally thought that with such tactics, he would’ve left others far behind, but he only managed to rank second.

Although he temporarily overtook others after killing yet another Elite Monster, finding these Elites took time.

While watching Su Mo’s name constantly ticking up in points on the leaderboard, albeit by only one or two points each time,

he realized that at this rate, he would soon be surpassed.

Where he usually rested after defeating an Elite Monster, he now hesitated no more and promptly began searching for other Elite Monsters.

Since entering the dungeon, Su Mo had been circling the perimeter, as the assignable free attribute points gained from monsters at Level 10 or 20 were the same.

So to rapidly acquire assignable Free Attribute Points, remaining in the perimeter was naturally best due to the larger quantity of monsters.

However, after a glance at the leaderboard, he felt that if he continued in this manner, his first-place position was a bit shaky.

Su Mo didn’t hesitate either, with a Speed Attribute of 1000 points, he swiftly charged forward.

With his Tiger Roar Skill that taunts, he didn’t need to search for monsters, so it was time to slay some high-level monsters for points.

Although assignable Free Attribute Points are crucial, monsters can be farmed anytime, but there’s only one high-stakes exam.

Su Mo’s advance wasn’t graceful or elegant; it was all about head-on rushing, with absolute defense ensuring he wouldn’t suffer any harm, so recklessness was the way to go!

[Boom, Boom, Boom~]

Su Mo darted swiftly across the ground, everything colliding with him would shatter into pieces, and even a sonic boom emerged in the surrounding air.

Without a map of the place, Su Mo didn’t know how far he had gone until he found a somewhat larger forest to stop in and directly activated his Tiger Roar Skill.

In no time, a large horde of monsters rushed towards him, and these monsters were significantly faster than those he had slain before.

He glanced at the symbols above them; the lowest were Level 31 Three-Eyed People.

"Each one grants 50 points; here should be stable, and I haven’t killed Level 30 monsters yet, so I wonder how many assignable Free Attribute Points they’ll give me!"

Stowing away the Devouring Void Tiger Head Saber, he raised the Mountain-Breaking Heaven-piercing Halberd high, smashing it forward.

[Rumble~]

[Mountain Collapse and Earth Split]

[Mountain Collapse and Earth Split]

[Mountain Collapse and Earth Split]

.....

He unleashed one skill after another as if they were free of charge.

Massive booms rang out continuously, with each monster exploding into clouds of blood mist under Su Mo’s skills.

In less than two minutes, Su Mo had released his skills 13 times in succession.

He had already slaughtered all 15 Level 30 Three-Eyed People.

"Level 30 monsters only grant 3 assignable Free Attribute Points?"

It’s a bit too little, and there are far fewer monsters here!

In the previous area, a single taunt skill would draw in at least over 100 monsters, but here..."

Su Mo shook his head. He had already guessed about the reduction in assignable Free Attribute Points, but there was nothing he could do; to earn more points, this was his only option.

And within just these two minutes, his points surged to 4,170, pulling far ahead of the 2nd and 3rd place.

"There are too few monsters here; I must farm faster to quickly earn 10,000 points,

then return to continue farming the Level 10 small monsters. Only by doing this can I gain more assignable Free Attribute Points,

and push all my attributes to 1000 points!"

Thinking of this, Su Mo didn’t hesitate, charging forward quickly, with sounds of Tiger Roar and explosions echoing constantly.

Su Mo’s points increased rapidly, almost jumping three to five hundred points every few minutes, making others’ eyes twitch.

"This guy, in which region is he farming monsters?"

"Such a strange rate of point increase, some 50s, some 100s, some 150s, even some 200s, what sort of monsters are in such varied regions?"

Xiao Hongtu glaringly glanced at the leaderboard, continued heading deeper toward the center.

Chu Tian unleashed his strongest strike to once again slay a Level 52 Elite Monster, not even pausing on the ground before flying off to another location.

Su Mo’s rate of point increase was incredibly fast; others couldn’t even guess where he was farming monsters.

But that was only natural; who would have thought Su Mo could unleash his area skills like they cost nothing.

In fact, ever since Su Mo acquired the Mountain Collapse and Earth Split skill, he rarely used basic attacks while farming monsters.

His stamina was simply too formidable!

Three hours later, Su Mo’s points had broken through to 13,420.

Meanwhile, the second place Chu Tian had just barely reached 8,000 points, and the third place Xiao Hongtu was closely trailing with 7,800 points.

Su Mo looked up at his points, pondering quietly. In the next 50 minutes, even if they kill another 10 Elite Monsters over Level 50, they wouldn’t catch up to him.

Elite Monsters over Level 50 weren’t so easy to find; otherwise, their points wouldn’t climb so slowly.

Plus, he never said he would stop hunting, either.

Even though Su Mo gained 10,000 points in such a short time, he only acquired 600 assignable Free Attribute Points,

so he must seize the last hour to farm as many small monsters as possible.

At the same time, Su Mo realized there was an issue, that his skill’s damage range was still too small.

Maybe after the national exam, he could find his teacher and ask for more Skill Scrolls.

[Boom Boom~]

Like a bulldozer, Su Mo swiftly charged toward the lower-level monster region, with the roar of tigers constantly echoing along the way.
