47: Chapter 47 Come at me all at once!

"So noisy."

Lu Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up from the goose-down bed.

It was one thing not to have a maid to give him a massage, but it was also so chaotic.

How could he possibly sleep in this?

Opening his eyes, he saw the Slime and the Little Skeleton standing by the bed.

The two little guys were arguing back and forth, making a huge racket.

"Master! Master!"

Seeing that Lu Yuan had woken up, the Slime immediately pounced on him.

It wrapped its chubby little hands around Lu Yuan's arm, its small eyes filled with smugness.

"Master, did you see that? I, the Great King, blew all the examinees away!"

"Am I amazing or what?"

It placed its short little hands on its hips and puffed out its round belly.

It wore an expression that screamed, "Hurry up and praise me! Praise me!"

The Little Skeleton immediately protested.

"Big Brother, that's not right."

"I contributed too, you know. It was clearly us who defeated those examinees together."

The Slime turned its head, its small eyes widening into perfect circles.

"My role was more critical!"

"I was the carry, you were at most just a tank."

The Little Skeleton crossed its bony arms, "Without me, would you have thought of the strategy to plant mines at the entrance?"

"You—"

The Slime was speechless, its little bean-like eyes wide open.

A flash of guilt crossed its little face.

It scratched its head and looked at Lu Yuan with some embarrassment.

"Well... Master, the Little Skeleton did help a little bit."

"Just a tiny bit."

It used its chubby little hand to make a gesture indicating a very small amount.

The Little Skeleton immediately added, "A whole lot."

The Slime: "..."

"You!"

Seeing that the two Magic Pets were about to start arguing again, Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head.

He reached out, one hand rubbing the Slime's bouncy head.

The other hand patted the Little Skeleton's smooth skull.

"Alright, alright."

"Both of you performed very well."

"The Slime's damage output was fierce, and the Little Skeleton's tactics were also very... devious."

"Both were great."

Being praised by their master, both Magic Pets were very happy.

Lu Yuan got up and looked around with some distress.

Green mountains and clear waters, blue skies and white clouds.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing the fresh scent of grass and soil.

The temperature was comfortable, neither cold nor hot.

It was truly a good place.

"What a pity."

Lu Yuan sighed and retracted his large Simmons mattress back into his spatial equipment.

"This place is great in every way, except there's no maid to warm the bed."

"I'm not picky about beds, but I am picky about people. Without someone to warm the bed, I'm really not used to it."

Lu Yuan stretched, looking toward the direction of the dungeon exit.

It was empty, without a single examinee in sight.

"These examinees are too dawdling."

"At this rate, who knows how long it will take to finish."

He yawned and, feeling bored, opened the internal communication device.

This was a channel exclusive to the Guardian, allowing direct communication with the examiners.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

The voice of Examiner Fan Zhiyuan came from the other side.

"Student Lu Yuan, is something the matter?"

Lu Yuan's lazy voice came through the communicator.

"Examiner, I'd like to ask something."

"I am the Guardian. According to the rules, I can designate personnel to challenge me, right?"

Examiner Fan Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then replied:

"Of course you can. This is the right of every Guardian."

"Which examinee do you want to designate?"

Lu Yuan looked outside the dungeon, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Everyone."

There was silence on the other end of the communication.

"????"

Examiner Fan Zhiyuan suspected something was wrong with his ears; he was stunned for a long time before reacting.

"Student Lu Yuan, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly just now."

"I said, let them all come at me together," Lu Yuan yawned.

"Let's finish this quickly so I can leave. I'm in a rush to go home and sleep."

...

On the examiner's platform, everyone was dumbfounded.

They had been examiners for so many years and had presided over countless College Entrance Exams.

They had never seen such a request before.

What kind of move was this?

"This..."

An elderly examiner pushed up his glasses, feeling uncertain.

"Since it isn't written in the rules, it is allowed."

Commander Xu Tianjiao frowned deeply.

Facing over a hundred prodigies at the same time.

No matter how strong Lu Yuan was, he would be exhausted, right?

But,

Why was City Lord Lu Feng still so calm?

Just as many examiners were hesitating,

City Lord Lu Feng put down his teacup and stood up.

"Since neither the Guardian nor the challengers have any objections, let's continue."

The entire venue was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at City Lord Lu Feng in disbelief.

Was this guy crazy?

There were still over a hundred geniuses waiting outside.

1 vs 100?

They admitted that Lu Yuan's strength was extremely high.

But it was impossible to accomplish such a thing.

Commander Xu Tianjiao also nodded quickly.

"I agree as well."

Among the remaining geniuses from Magic City Royal Academy, his daughter was the strongest.

If it were one-on-one, Xu Qianqian definitely wouldn't be Lu Yuan's match.

But if everyone went up together...

That would be different.

Winning in the chaos might give them a chance.

This was his daughter's only chance.

Commander Xu Tianjiao secretly glanced at City Lord Lu Feng.

Old Lu, oh Old Lu, don't blame me for not fighting honorably.

Admissions Officer Han Feiyan, who had been silent, also cast his gaze on Lu Yuan in the light screen.

A look of keen interest appeared on his rigid face.

He had seen many geniuses.

But he hadn't seen many like Lu Yuan.

Knowing there were over a hundred genius examinees outside, he still dared to let them all come at him together.

Was this arrogance?

Was it rooted in absolute confidence in his own strength?

He was looking forward to it.

After all, Star Academy only recruited monsters.

If they were just ordinary geniuses, Star Academy didn't want them.

"Interesting."

Admissions Officer Han Feiyan nodded and agreed to this completely unequal battle.

"Let this old man see what kind of confidence you truly have."

...

The few most important big shots had all nodded.

The others naturally had no reason to refuse.

Examiner Fan Zhiyuan took a deep breath and stood up.

His voice, amplified by a magic array, spread across the entire plaza.

"After deliberation by the examiner group, it has been decided—"

"All examinees are permitted to enter the Guardian's dungeon simultaneously to challenge him!"

As soon as the words fell,

The entire plaza erupted!

"They actually agreed?!"

"Let's go together, brothers!"

"But..."

Someone nearby hesitated, "With so many of us going up together, even if we defeat Lu Yuan, who should the spot be given to?"

"Of course, it will be given to whoever has the highest contribution value!"

"That's right! And we didn't have a chance anyway, so this is our only opportunity!"

"I don't believe that with so many of us, we can't beat him alone!"

"Charge!"

"Take down the Guardian!"

"For Star Academy!"

The examinees were filled with righteous indignation, each gripping their weapons with battle intent burning in their eyes.

Xu Qianqian slowly stood up and came to the front of the team.

Her fiery red hair fluttered in the wind, and her mage robe rustled.

Her gaze passed through the light screen and landed on the lazy youth inside the dungeon.

"Lu Yuan..."

She knew very well.

The gap between her and Lu Yuan was getting wider and wider.

In a one-on-one fight, she definitely wasn't Lu Yuan's match.

This might be her only chance to win against him.

Even if ganging up on him was a bit dishonorable,

She couldn't care about that anymore.

As long as she could win against that guy once.

She would wash away her shame today!

...

Inside the dungeon.

Lu Yuan watched the examinees outside the light screen, rubbing their palms and eager to try.

He nodded with satisfaction.

"That's more like it."

"It would have been better if it had been like this from the start."

He stretched and looked at the Slime and the Little Skeleton.

"Are you ready?"

The Slime had long been incredibly excited.

It puffed out its little chest, its small eyes filled with battle intent.

"Don't worry, Master!"

"I, the Great King, am going to have a blast blowing things up today!"

"One hundred examinees, that means one hundred heads!"

"They are all mine!"

The Little Skeleton silently drew the wind-slaying magic sword.

The ghostly blue flames in its eye sockets burned quietly.

"Big Brother, don't forget."

"Let me go [tank] first."

The Slime waved its short little hand generously.

"No problem!"

"With us brothers working together, we can cut through metal!"

Lu Yuan leaned against the tree trunk behind him, arms crossed, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Then, let's begin."
