LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 328: Golden Rank Breakthrough Task
Massive amounts of Experience Points were consumed within the system panel, and along with them, an endless surge of power erupted like a volcano within Lis's body, tirelessly scouring through his being.
Lis's skin had already turned slightly red, endless heat continuously radiated from within him, as if a fiery forge incessantly hammered and strengthened his body.

-----------------
As the level-up process concluded, the surging power within Lis gradually subsided, and the intimidating aura that radiated from him was also slowly retracted.
"Phew~"
Lis let out a long sigh, finally relaxing.
Feeling the overflowing powerful force within his body, Lis nodded in satisfaction.
After spending so much to complete many dangerous tasks, and obtaining Experience Points from other players, he had finally reached the pinnacle of Silver Level.
Now, it was time to focus on breaking through to Gold Level.
Looking at the Gold Rank Breakthrough Task displayed on the system panel, Lis raised his eyebrows.
It was just like him to draw the most difficult Cross-level Challenge Task right out of the gate.
This was the very reason why Lis, having just returned from Divine Island, didn't even take a breath before leveling up.

After all, the Gold Rank Breakthrough Task was random, and the sooner he knew the task, the earlier Lis could start preparing for it.
Bridging from Silver to Gold Level, every player had to complete a tier Breakthrough Task.
This was similar to the bottleneck faced by native Professionals when advancing in rank.
Players weren't required to undertake Breakthrough Tasks when advancing from Bronze to Silver Level; as long as the Level was reached, the breakthrough would naturally occur.
But breaking into Gold Level was different as one must complete the tier Breakthrough Task.
The Breakthrough Task for each individual is random, and the [Cross-level Challenge] Task is the most difficult of them all.
To defeat Gold as a Silver would be exceptionally challenging, Lis was well aware!
In his past life, almost no player managed to complete such a feat except for a Lucky who happened by a grievously wounded Gold-level Professional.
But everyone knew the greater the difficulty of the Breakthrough Task, the higher the enhancement received after breaking into the Gold Rank.
Thus, even though Lis had the chance to opt for a different Breakthrough Task, he had no intention of doing so.
A joke, a second life granted, a chance for a do-over, with so much groundwork laid and preparations made, if he still didn't dare to take on the task, he might as well return to Bright City to chase girls!
Therefore, this [Cross-level Challenge] Task was something Lis was bent on achieving!
So... which Gold-level Professional should he challenge?
Many choices crossed Lis's mind.
If he wanted to quickly complete the [Cross-level Challenge] Task, the simplest way would be to return now to Bright City and find his Guard Captain, Welf.
Honestly, Welf's strength... left much to be desired.
Lis had sparred with Welf before, and although at that time Lis was only a Bronze-level Professional, quite weak indeed, he still had a rough idea of Welf's strength.
Especially after witnessing many Gold-level powerhouses later on, Lis felt even more the gap between them and Welf.
With Welf's strength at that time, Lis felt that he could now firmly outmatch him.
However, Lis didn't want to return to Bright City to find Welf.
Since it's a challenge, Lis had a better option in mind.
He could go straight for the covert member of the All Beast Church, the great pirate [Blood Shark] Patrick.
Although for some unknown reason, Lis didn't hear about Patrick's name when he came to the Treasure Pearl Sea in his past life, but according to the intelligence he gathered, this [Blood Shark]'s strength was not to be underestimated.
His most notable feat was defeating a Gold-level Warrior during an encirclement by the Bodichi Navy and making a successful escape.
Even though that was at sea, where Patrick's Druid Transformation [Shark Form] could be utilized to its fullest advantage, it still showcased his formidable ability.
Indeed, based on the intelligence collected, Patrick's most outstanding skill was his Druid Transformation, which was the rare Shark Form.
