45: Chapter 45 Startled awake from my deathbed, I realized the clown was actually myself?!

In front of the dungeon portal, applause and cheers erupted.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Deng Tianhao, and they began to jeer.

"Deng Tianhao, go for it!"

"Win some glory for us commoner geniuses!"

"Defeat Lu Yuan, and you'll be the Guardian!"

Deng Tianhao nodded with a smile, his face wearing a confident expression.

"Rest assured, everyone."

"Watch how I defeat these two summoned creatures."

His voice was loud and full of momentum, appearing completely confident.

His two lackeys were so excited they jumped up.

"Go, Boss!"

"Don't forget about us once you get into Star Academy!"

The smile on Deng Tianhao's face became even brighter.

But inside, he was cursing wildly.

Damn it!

Two idiots!

Are you blind?

Didn't you see how perverse Lu Yuan's two Magic Pets are?!

If I let someone else go first to wear them down, wouldn't it be more certain if I went last?

If it weren't for you two, the examiner wouldn't have called my name directly.

This guy was truly riding a tiger and couldn't get off; he had to go, whether he liked it or not.

Otherwise, everyone would look down on him.

However...

My blade, Deng Tianhao's blade, is it not sharp?

Thinking of this, Deng Tianhao regained some of his usual composure.

He decisively stepped towards the portal passage.

On the high platform.

Commander Xu Tianjiao narrowed his eyes, staring at Deng Tianhao's figure as he disappeared into the portal passage.

"I have some impression of this young man."

"His strength is indeed not weak."

"His family has clearly fallen on hard times, yet he was able to rely on his own strength to reach level 15 within a week."

"He couldn't have done it without strength."

This Deng Tianhao was a core competitor to his daughter, Xu Qianqian.

If Deng Tianhao could wear down Lu Yuan, his daughter's pressure would be much less.

City Lord Lu Feng, however, took a sip of tea, completely indifferent.

"Average, I suppose."

Commander Xu Tianjiao rolled his eyes.

This is average?

You're showing off again, aren't you?

Admissions Officer Han Feiyan, who had been silent until now, also spoke faintly.

"Indeed, very average."

Commander Xu Tianjiao: "..."

He finally realized, these two old geezers were both more pretentious than the other.

Inside the dungeon.

The moment Deng Tianhao entered the portal, he began chanting a spell.

The moment he appeared in the dungeon, he immediately released a skill.

"Evil Shadow Shield!"

A dark red energy shield instantly enveloped his entire body.

Boom!!!

The Slime under his feet exploded.

Fire soared into the sky.

-347!

The shield developed a crack, but it held.

Deng Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief.

It worked!

He then immediately rushed out of the 'minefield'.

Behind him, there were several more violent explosions.

Bang! Bang!

Although he was at a distance and it didn't cause him any substantial damage.

It left him in an extremely disheveled state.

His clothes were blown to rags, and his hair was blown into an afro.

In the plaza.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, locked onto the light screen.

"Is that it?"

"Blown up like this before even getting through the door?"

"No way, is Deng Tianhao actually any good?"

Discussions broke out everywhere.

The faces of his two lackeys also looked a bit ugly.

But soon, they found a reason.

"What do you know? Boss is using tactics!"

"Right! Boss is probing the enemy's firepower!"

"You'll see in a moment; Boss hasn't shown his true strength yet!"

The surrounding examinees were skeptical but continued to watch the screen.

Inside the dungeon,

Deng Tianhao took a deep breath, his eyes locked onto the Slime.

Through his previous observations, he discovered.

This Slime consumes HP to release those 'bombs'.

This was the perfect opportunity to take it out!

Deng Tianhao gripped his sword, his entire body glowing with a dark red light.

"Ghost Slash!"

Deng Tianhao transformed into a bolt of black lightning, rushing towards the Slime.

His speed was extremely fast.

The Little Skeleton roared.

"Big Brother, I'm here to help you!"

It charged up directly, blocking in front of the Slime.

"Clang—!"

Black lightning collided with the stark white bone, sending shockwaves rolling!

Deng Tianhao was knocked back three steps, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

This Skeleton Soldier clearly looked like it would shatter at a touch.

Who would have thought it possessed such powerful strength!

But he didn't retreat; instead, he became even more excited.

"You asked for this!"

A red light flashed across Deng Tianhao's eyes.

Demonic power boiled within his body.

"Void-Breaking Frenzied Slash!"

Sword light like rain!

Dozens of consecutive slashes smashed madly towards the Little Skeleton!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

A series of metallic clashing sounds rang out.

-0

-0

-0

-0

Embarrassing numbers slowly floated into the air.

Deng Tianhao's eyes were practically popping out.

"What the f*ck!"

"How is this possible?!"

"It didn't even break its defense?!"

He was a level 15 Demonized Professional!

Every strike of his could deal over a hundred damage!

How could he not break the defense of a fragile Skeleton Soldier?!

On the examiner's platform.

Everyone stared with wide eyes at the Little Skeleton standing quietly in place.

Not even a single white mark was left on its entire skeleton.

Everyone was stunned.

"No damage?"

"Deng Tianhao's attacks couldn't break this Skeleton Soldier's defense?"

"That was the full-force attack of a level 15 Professional!"

"Just how high is this Skeleton Soldier's defense?!"

Commander Xu Tianjiao stood up abruptly.

"This is impossible!"

His eyes were wide as copper bells as he looked at City Lord Lu Feng beside him.

What kind of monsters did your son raise?!

City Lord Lu Feng smiled and exchanged a glance with Li Muyao in the VIP viewing area.

Only they knew just how perverse this Little Skeleton was.

Li Muyao had personally spent hundreds of millions on skill scrolls for that Little Skeleton.

[Block (Low-tier) Max]

[Iron Body (Low-tier) Max]

[Stone Skin (Low-tier) Max]

[Steel Bulwark (Mid-tier) Max]

[Bone Armor (Mid-tier) Max]

In that instant just now,

The Little Skeleton had simultaneously released five defensive skills.

And every single skill level was MAX.

Let alone Deng Tianhao, even a BOSS would find it very difficult to break the Little Skeleton's defense.

Inside the dungeon,

The Little Skeleton raised its palm.

Its withered bone palm patted lightly towards Deng Tianhao.

Clang—!

-930!

Deng Tianhao's HP dropped another chunk!

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!!"

"Again!"

Deng Tianhao went completely berserk and directly activated the 'Berserk' skill.

He wanted to risk his life against the Little Skeleton.

Seeing this, the Little Skeleton turned and ran.

While running, it shouted.

"Big Brother, I'm done [Steel Bulwarking]."

"The rest is up to you."

Deng Tianhao: ???

F*ck, running away after hitting?

This Skeleton Soldier is too damn insidious!

But he didn't have much time to think.

Because the Slime had already excitedly rushed up.

"Hahaha, it's finally my turn."

The Slime descended from the sky like a red meteor!

To set up the traps at the entrance.

It had consumed a large amount of HP and only had one-third left.

But no one knew that the Slime's maximum HP was a full 50,000 points!!

Blobs of Slime flew over, crazily Self-destructing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying damage,

Deng Tianhao couldn't resist at all.

He could only run away with his head in his hands.

Like a stray dog.

The Slime chased behind, cursing while exploding.

"Let you be arrogant!"

"Aren't you very arrogant?"

"Keep being arrogant!"

"Keep showing off!"

"Come on! Come and hit me!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every time a blob of Slime exploded, Deng Tianhao's HP would drop by a large chunk.

Fortunately,

Deng Tianhao's HP wasn't very high, so he wasn't tortured for too long.

It was soon cleared to zero.

Accompanied by a flash of white light,

Deng Tianhao's figure appeared outside the portal.

His whole body was charred black, his hair was blown out, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Extremely disheveled,

Everyone in the plaza was stunned.

The Deng Tianhao they had pinned their hopes on...

That's it?

"Deng Tianhao, this is no good."

Shanji found an opportunity and naturally wouldn't let it go.

"Laughing to death, is this the famous genius?"

"Pretty good at showing off outside, but what about after going in?"

"Running faster than a dog, screaming more miserably than a pig."

"Hahaha..."

Those two lackeys who had previously crazily praised Deng Tianhao lowered their heads, wishing they could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Deng Tianhao felt those strange gazes all around.

For a moment,

He felt his entire face burning.

His nose also became red and large.
