17: Chapter 17 Preparing to Solo the Silver Dungeon

Sun Wenyuan naturally couldn't have known that what he was facing wasn't some ordinary stealth skill, but a God-Tier Aura with a stealth level as high as 100. As Lin Muyang's level increased, the stealth level would only get higher.

His mere level 11 anti-stealth rank was like a firefly before a bright moon in the face of level 100 stealth; it would be a miracle if he could see through it.

Forget him—even if those peak powerhouses of current human society who were several hundred levels high came in person, as long as their anti-stealth rank didn't reach 100, it would be absolutely impossible for them to see through Lin Muyang's Divine Concealment Aura!

This completely incomprehensible scene before him made Sun Wenyuan immediately realize that the potential and ability of this genius hidden in the shadows had already far exceeded his initial estimates!

Such a figure would definitely not remain obscure in the future and would bound to stir up massive waves in this era of Class Transferees!

At this thought, his expression became more solemn than ever before.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten his primary purpose for coming here—he had been entrusted by Shen Muyao to "negotiate" with this mysterious powerhouse, hoping they would yield a few bronze-tier instance dungeons.

He cleared his throat and spoke to the empty air before him in a tone as respectful and polite as possible:

"Ahem... My friend, please don't misunderstand. I, Sun Wenyuan, am here with absolutely no ill intent."

"I just have a presumptuous request... You see, there are only three bronze-tier instance dungeons left in this City South Secret Realm Area. Could you please show some mercy and leave these remaining three bronze-tier instance dungeons to other new friends who also need to level up?"

"After all, everyone has just changed classes, and it's not easy for anyone... Of course, this is just a discussion; everything depends on your own willingness, friend."

Sun Wenyuan talked a great deal to the air, keeping his posture very humble.

While in his stealth state, Lin Muyang immediately understood this guy's intention upon hearing those words.

He immediately associated it with the school beauty, Shen Muyao, whom he had "coincidentally encountered" several times before.

"So, she's the reinforcements called in by that Great School Beauty Shen?" Lin Muyang understood clearly, and his originally tense nerves immediately relaxed.

"I thought someone was here to cause trouble, gave me a fright..." He curled his lips, somewhat speechless.

Since he had confirmed there was no danger, he deactivated the Holy Hourglass Aura he was maintaining and regained his mobility.

"Lilia, let's go. On to the next target," he said to the Elf Maiden beside him through their contract.

He quickly switched his second Aura to the Power of Wind Control.

Ten times speed was once again applied to his body!

In a state of absolute stealth, Lin Muyang led Lilia away. Like two shadows merging into the wind, they turned and sped toward another part of the Secret Realm zone without leaving a single trace.

Under the effect of the Divine Concealment Aura, it wasn't just their figures that were hidden. Everything that could possibly be perceived—the sounds they made, the scents they emitted, the slight breeze from their movement, and even their energy fluctuations—was erased or masked by the Aura's power.

This was the overbearing nature of a God-Tier talent; it naturally wouldn't leave any flaws easily.

...

Back at the original spot, Sun Wenyuan maintained that respectful posture, waiting toward the air for a moment, hoping to get some kind of response.

However, there was only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the woods.

A moment later, Shen Muyao's four-person team finally arrived, panting heavily. It was clear they had pushed themselves to the limit to get here, but their current level was only 1, their base agility attributes weren't high, and they had no extra speed buffs. This was already their maximum speed.

"Uncle Sun, how's the situation? Did you see that person?" Shen Muyao looked around and, seeing no one besides Sun Wenyuan, asked with a hint of expectation.

"Still haven't seen them..." Sun Wenyuan shook his head with a bitter smile, a trace of frustration on his face. "His stealth level is unimaginably high. Even my Falcons Eye is completely ineffective."

He paused and added, "However, I just spoke my request to him, hoping he would leave the remaining bronze-tier instance dungeons. I just don't know if he heard it or if he'll agree..."

"Even you can't see him at all, Uncle Sun?!"

Not just Shen Muyao, but the other three girls in her team were also stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

That mysterious lone wolf... his strength is just too ridiculous! Is he really a new Class Transferee?

"Little Shen," Sun Wenyuan looked at Shen Muyao, his weathered eyes filled with unprecedented gravity, "take some advice from your Uncle Sun. If you encounter this guy in the future, try to keep your distance. We can't grasp his specific personality or background. Without knowing if he's friend or foe, we must never take the initiative to provoke him."

He took a deep breath. "This boy is no ordinary person!"

"I understand, Uncle Sun." Shen Muyao nodded with a solemn expression.

Meanwhile, a massive wave of shock had already surged within her heart.

This mysterious new Class Transferee is not only a lone wolf but also possesses such terrifying stealth abilities that even Uncle Sun, who is over level 90, is helpless... This talent has definitely reached the legendary SSS-rank!

This year's batch at First High School has definitely produced an incredible powerhouse!

...

As for Lin Muyang, Sun Wenyuan's appearance was just a minor interlude.

Regarding the request the other party made...

His next goal was already that sole silver-level dungeon. After finishing it, he should be able to reach level 10, so he really didn't need to grind bronze-tier instance dungeons anymore.

Giving up the remaining bronze-tier instance dungeons had no impact on him, so it could be considered doing them a favor.

Very quickly!

Relying on the extreme speed of the Power of Wind Control, Lin Muyang led Lilia to the entrance of the only silver-level dungeon in the City South Secret Realm Area.

From a distance, he saw that there were actually people by the Dungeon entrance?

It was a team of Class Transferees that looked somewhat battered, four people in total, who seemed to have just retreated from the Dungeon.

One of the young warriors was seriously injured, with seven or eight poison arrows glowing with a faint green luster stuck in him, being supported by teammates. Although he had undergone emergency treatment and his life was not in danger for now, his face was still as pale as paper and his Aura was weak. Clearly, he wouldn't be able to fight again for a short while.

"Attempting high-difficulty Dungeons often comes with higher risks." Lin Muyang watched this scene, thinking silently.

"Class Transferees with insufficient talent or preparation who force their way into Dungeons far beyond their strength are very likely to meet with misfortune or even lose their lives."

He could tell that these Class Transferees weren't students from First High School; they were likely from other high schools.

In Zhongnan City, there were over a dozen high schools in total. To utilize Secret Realm resources more reasonably and smooth out the level distribution of Class Transferees in the city, the class change times for each high school were staggered. From January to December, a batch of students would undergo class change every month.

This way, there wouldn't be a situation where all the newcomers crowded the low-level Dungeon areas at the same time.

The silver-level dungeon before him was a Level 8 Dungeon.

These Class Transferees looked a bit older, likely students who had changed classes last month or even earlier. As a result, a month had passed and they were still challenging a Level 8 silver Dungeon and were in such a pathetic state; it was clear their talent and strength were quite average.

It was very likely that their professional talents were only D-rank or C-rank.

Rashly entering a silver-level dungeon far beyond their capabilities made it only natural for things to go wrong.

Lin Muyang didn't linger outside, nor did he pay any mind to that battered team.

Relying on the Divine Concealment Aura, he directly led Lilia through the energy barrier of the Dungeon entrance like an invisible ghost, without making a sound.

"Enter Dungeon."

"Lock Dungeon."

A series of operations were completed in an instant.

...

Beside the Dungeon entrance, the four Class Transferees who were resting and treating their wounds noticed the anomaly almost simultaneously!

They watched in shock as the entrance to the silver-level dungeon that had just given them so much trouble flickered rapidly, and then an illusory silver chain appeared out of thin air, winding around it—this meant someone had entered the Dungeon and locked it!

They instinctively looked at the status information displayed next to the Dungeon entrance:

[Dungeon Players: 1/4]

"???"

The four of them looked at each other, their faces filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

Someone... actually entered this silver-level dungeon that almost wiped them out, all by themselves?!

Isn't this purely a suicidal act?!

But... they didn't see anyone pass by just now at all?!

"In this 'Werewolfs Lair' Dungeon, even with the four of us cooperating, we couldn't even clear the first BOSS room and almost died..." the injured warrior said weakly, his face full of lingering fear. "Someone wants to solo it? Are they crazy?"

"And looking at the situation, they can use stealth, so they're definitely a Rogue or Assassin type class," the Mage in the team analyzed. "This kind of class might be okay for soloing trash mobs, but fighting a BOSS, especially a silver-level BOSS with complex mechanics, they lack sustained damage and tanking ability. It's simply difficult upon difficult!"

"I wonder which brainless fellow is so tired of living?" the Priest girl complained while casting a healing spell on the warrior.

"Hehe," another young man in the team with an Assassin class suddenly grinned sinisterly, "How about... we just wait here? When this guy dies inside and the Dungeon lock is released, we'll go back in... maybe we can pick up the equipment he drops?"

He licked his lips. "Since this person dares to enter a silver-level dungeon alone, they must have a few pieces of good gear on them, right? This is a good idea!"

The four of them had just been taught a lesson by the werewolf BOSS in the Dungeon until they couldn't take care of themselves, and they were full of resentment and frustration.

Seeing someone now who didn't know the heights of the heavens and depths of the earth wanting to solo it, they all responded with sneers and schadenfreude.

In their view, soloing a silver-level dungeon?

It was simply a pipe dream!
