112: Fiery Ruler

The combat Teacher Wu couldn't really continue his lesson.

He wanted to speak, then stopped, then wanted to speak again, then stopped again, unable to utter a word.

Fortunately, Cheng Zhen was there to improve his combat power, not to cause trouble, so he timely offered Teacher Wu a way out: "Teacher, do you have any more of these props? I'd like to try it myself!"

"No problem!" Teacher Wu let out a long sigh of relief and said to the other students: "This student Cheng really understands all-around development! You might not know, but some dungeons have restrictions that might prevent summoned creatures from being used! If that happens, everyone will have to rely on themselves!"

Hearing this, several students immediately showed nervous expressions; it seemed they were also summoners.

Teacher Wu, with his sharp eyes, noticed them and raised his hand to call those students over: "You, you, and that student over there, come and try it together!"

The few walked forward, pulled out their weapons, and attacked the teaching aid.

A boy wearing glasses raised his short sword and thrust it at the soft, elastic giant wolf teaching aid.

As the saying goes, 'copper head, iron legs, tofu waist,' a wolf's skull is very hard, and monsters in dungeons would only be harder.

While an animal's abdomen is more vulnerable, it's also not easy to attack. Even if one wanted to use a slide tackle method against tigers or lions, at most, it would only suffocate them to death.

The glasses boy also thought of this and thus locked his target onto the teaching aid's eyes for a precise strike.

But the moment he attacked, the giant wolf, which had been docile and passively taking hits, suddenly moved, dodging the short sword aimed at its eyes, then opened its massive maw and bit towards the glasses boy.

The glasses boy hadn't expected this at all. Although he dodged immediately, he couldn't get away due to the close distance and had his head clamped in its mouth on the spot.

He instinctively struggled violently, but the contracting maw gradually blocked off the surroundings, almost suffocating him.

With a 'pop,' he pulled his head out and, under inertia, stumbled back several steps, only to be caught by a classmate behind him, preventing him from falling onto the ground.

Everyone looked at the teaching aid in surprise, then at Cheng Zhen.

The teaching aid hadn't moved just now, so why was it counterattacking now? Was the teaching aid also judging by appearance?

Teacher Wu's expression was calm, but inwardly he was complaining: It wasn't that it didn't counterattack; it was instantly killed, so it wasn't noticeable...

But no big deal, the lesson was back on track.

Looking at the still-shaken student, Teacher Wu walked to the teaching aid, reached into the giant wolf's mouth, and pulled something out—it was the glasses that the teaching aid had snatched from the student.

"If that had been in a dungeon just now, you'd be dead."

Teacher Wu handed him the glasses, saying with a serious face: "I know you think this is just an ordinary public class, and that no danger will occur in this school."

"However, the dangers of dungeons never announce themselves! When fighting, you must consider various situations!"

"When you attacked just now, did you consider the possibility of missing? Did you anticipate what you should do next? Are you just going to wait to die if one attack fails?"

"The monsters in dungeons have diverse abilities. You might think they'll extend claws and fangs, but who knows, the next second they might spit out fireballs or ice spikes."

"I hope you all remember this lesson. Think more in dungeons; mindless attacking won't get you far!"

Teacher Wu concluded with satisfaction, then threw out a large pile of teaching aids so everyone could practice.

Although he initially chose the wrong demonstration, he ultimately achieved his teaching objective smoothly!

Cheng Zhen also tried attacking the teaching aid a few times. Although he wasn't bitten back, the damage he inflicted was not ideal.

He knew he should play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, but his weaknesses couldn't be too weak, otherwise, it would be troublesome if he encountered such restrictions again.

Cheng Zhen thought carefully and decided to look for advertisements that could strengthen himself in the next dungeon, and also activate his 'money power' along the way.

According to the agreement, if the Mountain Sacrifice Child's sacrificial material farming method was correct, Team Leader Men would give Cheng Zhen an Epic-grade torso armor.

Cheng Zhen was confident his method was correct, it just needed time to verify, so he wouldn't need to buy armor for the torso slot.

He heard that when one is in a good mood, luck also improves. He rubbed his hands together and opened the five-star clear chest for Misty Snow Ice City—

"Epic!"

Under Cheng Zhen's expectant gaze, the treasure chest emitted a purple light, then transformed into something like a human hand and fell before him.

Cheng Zhen initially thought it was hand equipment, but on closer inspection, it was a prop.

Looking at the prop's description, Cheng Zhen couldn't help but show a strange expression...

...

The treasure chest didn't yield any equipment, so Cheng Zhen planned to buy some things using his 'money power.'

He checked his assets in the dormitory and seemed quite satisfied.

After so many days in dungeons, his two guides had sold quite a bit. Especially the later farming guide also boosted the earlier Mountain Sacrifice Child guide, earning Cheng Zhen a whopping sixty million, and this number would continue to increase.

No wonder Jing Ci Guild was eyeing the guides enviously. Although entering dungeons was dangerous, once a guide was sold, you could earn money by typing a few lines. Who wouldn't want that? This wasn't just a small investment for huge returns; it was practically no investment for billions in returns. Who wouldn't want this money?

Anyway, the guides would continue to sell, and this money would keep coming in, so Cheng Zhen didn't feel any heartache. He directly searched for various Epic-grade props in the trade marketplace.

Cheng Zhen flipped through for a while and indeed found a treasure—

"Weapon: Blazing Dominator"

"Quality: Epic"

"Effect: Increases Spirit by 60%, increases Energy Damage by 55%, increases Spirit recovery speed. Gains passive effect: Spirit Shield."

"Spirit Shield: When the physical body suffers heavy damage, immediately remove control effects, including but not limited to stun, freeze, slow, hallucination, and other negative effects.

At the same time, gain a shield lasting ten seconds based on your Spirit, and significantly increase movement speed during the shield's duration. Cooldown: 48 hours."

Not only could it provide Cheng Zhen with the Spirit enhancement and recovery effects he needed, but it was also a life-saving item!

Even if Cheng Zhen were controlled and encountered danger for some reason, he could break free and gain a shield, then run to his summoned creatures to be safe again.

Even if he didn't have any energy attack methods right now, buying it wouldn't be a loss; he could make up for it later.

The only problem was that this staff had also attracted a lot of attention, and the competition was quite fierce...
