117: Confusion from the Knights of Favonius!

“Hey, kid, don’t block the way.”

Just as Xia Qi was about to enter, an arrogant voice sounded from behind him.

Xia Qi turned around and saw a knight in full armor, walking over with a fierce expression.

A large group of people followed him.

Xia Qi immediately shielded the three girls behind him; otherwise, the other party might have directly bumped into them.

The armored knight had his nose in the air. He was burly, over two meters tall, and exuded an oppressive Aura.

Xia Qi, who was one meter eighty-two tall, had to look up at him.

The man squinted at Xia Qi, his disdainful expression clear.

Then, he heavily placed the shield and longsword in his hand on the ground, raised his head arrogantly, and said, “No matter who you are, move aside first. Today, our West Wind Academy is going to clear the Fallen Land dungeon, and we must break the record set a few years ago.”

Behind him, dozens of people responded with loud cheers, each with arrogant expressions.

The record for the Fallen Land dungeon had been held for three years, set by elite students from Dragon Academy.

No one had been able to break it in three years, which showed how difficult the Fallen Land dungeon was.

Luo Zisheng whispered at this moment, “No wonder I heard a few days ago that people from West Wind Academy were going to clear the Fallen Land.”

“It is said that this time they made ample preparations. For this, several main members deliberately kept their Rank at 35 and did not upgrade.”

“Some high-Rank students in the Academy even prepared full sets of golden equipment for them.”

As soon as these words came out, Yun Qingyue and Yu Qiu both widened their eyes.

They whispered, “No wonder these students look so arrogant; they really have the strength.”

“Brother Xia Qi, why don’t you clear the dungeon another day?”

Xia Qi shook his head and looked at the people from West Wind Academy.

He understood their thoughts. Setting a new record not only earned a large amount of points and credits but also brought honor.

Everyone would strive for this honor.

At the same time, it could also become a stepping stone for them to enter top Academies.

Seeing that Xia Qi made no move, the burly knight’s mouth twitched. He lowered his head and continued to look at Xia Qi, “Student, please move aside.”

Xia Qi was unmoved. If their attitude had been a little friendlier earlier, moving aside would have been fine.

“I was here first for this dungeon.”

He said indifferently, not giving any Face to the so-called West Wind Academy.

The burly man’s brows immediately furrowed upon hearing this. “Student, do you want to leech off our dungeon?”

“To be honest with you, our team composition is already full this time; we’re here to break a record. How about we take you next time?”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Qi was also stunned.

No, where did he show that he wanted to team up?

These people from West Wind Academy were too narcissistic. One would think they were from the top Godslayer Academy.

Seeing that Xia Qi remained completely unmoved, the burly knight’s Face looked a bit unpleasant.

This felt very awkward. The name of West Wind Academy had been announced, but this student didn’t give them Face.

It was not only awkward but also very embarrassing.

However, considering that this was the Home of Dungeons, and there were hundreds of people inside, many of whom were watching, he couldn’t really flare up.

If he doesn’t move, then he doesn’t move.

What if you, kid, go into the dungeon first? Can you solo the dungeon?

So, the burly man shouted at his subordinates, “Get ready! We’ll enter immediately after he goes in.”

Xia Qi knew that the burly knight was deliberately saying this for him to hear.

However, he didn’t bother to pay attention and instead comforted the three girls.

“You all go clear your dungeons; don’t cause trouble. I’m going into the dungeon first.”

Yun Qingyue opened her delicate lips, wanting to say something more, but Xia Qi’s gaze stopped her.

Yu Qiu pulled Yun Qingyue. She knew she couldn’t help Xia Qi here, so it was better to clear a normal dungeon first and raise her Rank before doing anything else.

Luo Zisheng also said no more. She was the one who knew Xia Qi’s strength best, so she nodded and left.

Xia Qi turned and walked to the giant vortex. With a flash of light, Xia Qi disappeared.

At the same time, the vortex of the Fallen Land also lit up, indicating that someone had indeed entered.

This scene left the people of West Wind Academy dumbfounded, and the burly knight’s mouth twitched directly. “No, this kid did it on purpose, right? Entering a large dungeon alone, does he not value his life enough?”

However, the other onlookers in the Home of Dungeons immediately started discussing.

“Holy cow, Senior Xia Qi really went in!”

“Soloing a small legion dungeon, I’ve never seen such a feat in my life.”

“Senior Xia Qi is really daring, but also truly fierce.”

“To be fair, if Senior Xia Qi succeeds, it will definitely be recorded in Shengjing’s annals!”

“That’s for sure. I’ve been to the Fallen Land once; it’s too dangerous. One wrong move and you’ll lose your life. If Xia Qi manages to clear it, that would truly be a first in history.”

“I think you guys shouldn’t boast blindly. How can it be that easy to clear?!”

“That’s hard to say. Others might not be able to, but it’s really hard to say for Xia Qi.”

......

The leading knight of West Wind Academy now had a dark look on his Face.

He didn’t know why these people in the Home of Dungeons weren’t paying attention to West Wind Academy but instead to a kid who was going to solo a dungeon.

That wasn’t even the key point.

The key was that the kid was wearing all silver equipment.

This indicated that the kid definitely hadn’t exceeded Rank 30.

In contrast, they were all in golden sets, with an average Rank of 30, yet they weren’t getting any attention.

This was simply outrageous.

At this moment, everyone in West Wind Academy felt their Faces burning, incredibly awkward!

“Forget it.”

“Enter the dungeon!”

The burly knight knew he couldn’t wait any longer. Their Aura had already weakened a bit before even entering.

If that was the case, there was no need to fight the Fallen Land today.

He immediately shouted an order for everyone to enter the dungeon.

Before entering the dungeon, the burly man glanced at the leaderboard: “15 hours, 37 minutes, 6 seconds. Today, we will definitely break the clearance record from three years ago!”

The Fallen Land, a Rank 30 large dungeon, naturally required more points.

When Xia Qi entered, he paid five hundred points.

If he wanted to eliminate the cooldown time, it would require two thousand points.

Calculated this way, if he repeatedly cleared this dungeon, it would cost two thousand five hundred points per run, and four runs would be ten thousand points.

Such point consumption was much higher than clearing normal dungeons.

This was the first time Xia Qi felt that his points seemed insufficient since he entered the Home of Dungeons.

“I hope the reward for breaking the record will be good.”

Looking at the sixty thousand points he had left, it really wouldn’t take many runs before they might be used up.
