150: Violent push, the first level is cleared

At this moment, Lin Ling raised his staff and threw a Blazing Fireball at the roof.

Boom…

The fireball exploded, creating a ring of fire on the roof, and three-colored balloons exploded simultaneously.

Blazing Fireball originally had a 6-second cooldown, but after talent reduction, and reductions from Alice and the team, it was reduced to only 2.25 seconds.

And now, under the temporary BUFF's 10x cooldown reduction, Lin Ling could cast it 4 times per second.

He instantly transformed into a magic auto-turret.

Bang, bang, bang, bang…

The entire passage was instantly engulfed by fire elements.

Under his astonishing damage of over 200,000, those mechanical dogs were instantly blown away.

However, this was just the beginning.

Fireballs flew out one after another, and the explosions caused the entire passage to shake continuously.

Those mechanical dogs became shattered after being continuously bombarded.

Lin Ling advanced through the flames, leaving behind only the shattered remains of mechanical dogs.

At this moment, everyone else also rushed into the passage one after another.

As soon as they entered the passage, everyone was drawn to the dazzling firelight.

When everyone looked towards Lin Ling, they were instantly dumbfounded.

How could a human possibly do this?

Zhang Ziye lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Meanwhile, Lin Ling was like a War God bathed in fire, constantly advancing through the sea of flames.

The enormous fireballs,

The tremendous shockwaves,

The wreckage everywhere.

All of it told everyone how terrifying Lin Ling's skill damage was.

“This is too terrifying! Is this Lin Ling’s true strength?”

Everyone who didn't know Lin Ling had the same question in their hearts.

Only the members of Ling Tian Independent Regiment already had fanaticism in their eyes.

And at this moment, in Passage 10, Ling Qiye was even more stirred up.

He was closest to Lin Ling, and under close observation, the sense of shock was infinitely magnified.

“So strong, can I really defeat such an existence?”

At this moment, his state of mind wavered, and his Invincible belief developed many cracks.

Just then, a system prompt appeared before the latecomers: the laser net disappeared, and mechanical dogs appeared.

Everyone was forced to begin their own battles.

And at this moment, two Dragon Nest Warriors in charge of Passage 9 below the alloy passage were staring at the data display in front of them.

On the large screen, the light dots representing 400 mechanical dogs were rapidly disappearing.

“What’s going on? Is there a malfunction?”

“Should we report it? Did someone secretly bring in a magic scroll? Why is the damage so fast?”

At this moment, the two of them could not remain calm.

The damage rate of mechanical dogs in the new recruit assessment had never exceeded 15%.

This was also the maximum loss the higher-ups could tolerate.

But at this moment…

[Damage Rate 78%]

[Damage Rate 85%]

[Damage Rate 93%]

[Damage Rate 100%]

“Report it quickly! Is this a human who came in? This is a Tyrannosaurus that came in!”

…

Inside a Dragon Nest conference room.

“Two seniors, it’s too unfair to Lin Ling for us to disable Forbidden Spells,” Zhou Weiyun said with a frown.

“Little Yun, what we need to test is these children’s crisis reaction ability. If we let him use Forbidden Spells, that would be truly unfair to everyone else,” Human Sheep said with a smile.

“Two seniors, what do you think of this child, Lin Ling? Is it possible for him to become a Mao Tu seed?” Zhou Weiyun asked again.

“Little Yun, the child you recommended is indeed good, but it might not be suitable for him to become a Mao Tu seed.

If we must find a second candidate from this batch of new recruits, that little fellow named Ling Qiye has more potential than Lin Ling.

When he grows up, he probably won't be much inferior to Bai Zhi; Lin Ling's potential is still much inferior to the two of them.”

A silver-robed person slowly pulled open the wide cloak, revealing a face wearing a goat mask.

“Senior Human Sheep, I don’t agree with your view. While Bai Zhi and Ling Qiye indeed have high potential, the growth potential Lin Ling has shown is far beyond what those two can compare to.

He has already undergone his third evolution, and with Forbidden Spells, his growth speed will definitely far surpass everyone else, and he is also the Child of Prophecy in my Great Prophecy Art.”

Zhou Weiyun said with some anxiety.

Another silver-robed person also took off his cloak, and his face wore an ox-head mask.

“Little Yun, I know what you’re worried about. It’s true that Lin Ling has Forbidden Spells.

But you also know the characteristics of a Law’s Darling; it's too difficult to level up after the sixth evolution.

The highest level in the domestic wild zones does not exceed 150. Even if Lin Ling were to plow through these wild zones with Forbidden Spells, it might not be enough for him to level up by half a level,” Ren Niu said.

Zhou Weiyun’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, “Then let Lin Ling clear out foreign territories, or go to high-level instances. There are always more solutions than difficulties.

As long as he grows up, he will be an Invincible existence.

If there aren’t enough monsters to farm domestically, then let him wreak havoc in other countries.

India’s Henghe Instance has not been cleared on difficulty above hard by anyone for twenty years.

Sakura Country’s Mount Fuji Instance, I don’t believe Lin Ling can’t handle it with continuous Forbidden Spells.

These instances are all super-hero instances, and the experience and treasure rewards are astonishingly high.

The Blue Star Convention clearly states that Professionals below the 7th evolution can freely clear uncleared instances in other countries.”

Human Sheep shook his head, “Little Yun, have you forgotten? These instances all have residual divine will. To challenge a World Instance, one must first meet the mental strength requirements.

We old folks are the first batch of awakened ones from the Great Fusion Era.

Our experience is not wrong; to become a super expert, one must possess mental strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Lin Ling’s initial mental strength was only 120, which might be very good among ordinary people.

But what I want are super elites, like Bai Zhi. Her mental strength was already 145 when she awakened, and now at level 176, her mental strength has reached 880, only 120 points short of the 1000 required to challenge a World Instance.

And then there’s Ling Qiye. Although his initial mental strength was not high when he awakened his talent, it directly surged to 500 after awakening.

He hasn’t even undergone his third evolution yet. By the time he reaches his sixth evolution, his mental strength will very likely exceed a thousand.

Such talents are what we need, do you understand?”

Ren Niu patiently analyzed for Zhou Weiyun.

“I don’t care, I only believe in my Great Prophecy Art. The position of Mao Tu originally belonged to me, and I have the right to recommend a genius to be the Mao Tu successor,” Zhou Weiyun stubbornly said.

“Nonsense!” Human Sheep shouted loudly, “Little Yun, how did you become so irrational? How can you act on impulse in front of the inheritance of our Hua Xia Civilization!”

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than an alarm suddenly sounded.

[The first clear of the first stage has appeared!]

The three of them were startled at the same time. How could someone have cleared it after only a few seconds?

“Could it be that the mechanical dogs malfunctioned?” Zhou Weiyun frowned.

“The number of mechanical dogs doubled this year. It’s impossible for all four hundred mechanical dogs to have problems, right?” Jiang Shan Yi muttered softly, who had not dared to interject until now.

Meanwhile, from under Human Sheep’s mask, a hint of relief flickered in his eyes, which were filled with the vicissitudes of life.

“Lin Ling’s Forbidden Spells being restricted is like a venomous snake without its fangs. It must be that child Ling Qiye who brought us this surprise.”

Ren Niu nodded and said with a smile, “That’s right, that child must have controlled a portion of the mechanical dogs, that’s why…”

However, Ren Niu had not finished speaking when the first clear information suddenly popped up on the display screen.

[First Stage, First Clear: Lin Ling, Time Taken: 10 seconds!]

“How is that possible?!”

Ren Niu and Human Sheep exclaimed simultaneously.

Jiang Shan Yi and Zhou Weiyun both curled their lips, “Why is it impossible?!”
