308: Chapter 309 Giving the Otherworlders a Shock

After the agreement was reached, Lin Muyang did not leave immediately.

He returned to the secret realm.

The negotiation with the Holy City was just an interlude; rapidly increasing his strength was the fundamental goal.

With the support of Experience Resonance and infinite respawning for monster grinding, the torrent of experience within the secret realm remained surging.

About three more hours passed.

When the familiar glow of leveling up shone on Lin Muyang once again, his level settled steadily at 122.

Meanwhile, Shen Muyao, Su Qingyue, Tashalin, Chiba Ruri, and the Gu Shuanglin sisters, who had entered the secret realm with him, all broke through the 110-level mark, their strength experiencing a qualitative leap.

the young ladies he summoned saw a relatively slower level increase, but they each still saw significant growth.

Rising from just over level 100 to over level 120, if one were training normally in the outside world, even with the best talent and ample resources, it would likely take years.

Yet here, it only took half a day.

"At this rate, I estimate it will take another two or three hours of grinding to reach level 130," Lin Muyang calculated.

He was not in a hurry; steady improvement was sufficient.

Just then, the Lingxi pressed against his palm vibrated slightly, emitting a soft, milky-white halo.

Lin Muyang focused his mind and discovered that it had received two massive data packets.

One was the "Detailed Distribution Map of Major Demonic Creature Tribes in Atlantis World (Holy City Observation Version)".

The other was the "Database of Known High-Level Secret Realm Entrances and Basic Information (Holy City Archive Version)".

Lin Muyang opened the latter first.

When the massive amount of information appeared before his eyes in the form of a 3D map and detailed lists, even though he had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

On the map, various colored light spots representing secret realms covered the entire planet model like stars, even including the Eternal Night Side!

The color of the light spots distinguished the grade (white for common, green for excellent, blue for elite, purple for epic, orange for legendary-grade, red for mythic grade, dark gold for sky-opening grade), the size roughly indicated the scale, and they were accompanied by brief annotations such as level and status (e.g., "Occupied," "Dangerous," "Newly Discovered").

"Here... in the Eternal Night Side on the back of the planet, there is actually a level 132 mythical-rank secret realm? It is marked as newly discovered and not yet cleared?"

Lin Muyang's gaze instantly locked onto a larger light spot located on the back of the planet model, emitting a deep red glow.

A level 132 mythical-rank secret realm! This meant that the monsters inside had higher base experience, the first kill would guarantee a drop of mythic grade equipment, and there was even a chance for sky-opening grade! This was exactly what he needed most right now!

"It seems I can really grind for some heaven-opening grade equipment!" Lin Muyang felt pleased.

The information provided by the Holy City was far more detailed and accurate than any channels from local officials like Kandas. Its value was immense!

However, before going to grind that level 132 mythical-rank secret realm, Lin Muyang decided to follow his plan and take care of those demonic creatures on the surface of Atlantis first.

He opened the demonic creature distribution map.

Denser and more ferocious light spots instantly covered the surface area of the planet model, especially on the sun-facing side.

Each light spot represented a settlement or high-frequency activity area of a demonic creature tribe, with the tribe name, average level, threat assessment, and known characteristics marked next to it.

From the lowest-level beast packs to the hair-raising Mythical-grade and even a few sky-opening grade demonic creature nests marked as "Extremely Dangerous" and "Advised to Avoid," everything was there.

"As expected, the quantity is sufficient and the density is high..." Lin Muyang scanned the dense light spots, not feeling troubled at all, but rather as if he were looking at countless experience packs and skill proficiency waiting to be harvested.

On Blue Star, it was not easy to find such concentrated and numerous high-quality monster spawn points.

Here, it was simply a paradise for grinding Origin Skill levels!

"Get ready, we need to change locations," Lin Muyang said to the young ladies beside him, his eyes flashing with eagerness, "I'll take you to witness what real monster grinding is."

Meanwhile, in the distant and magnificent Sky Court Holy City, inside several secret observation rooms.

Several elders with Auras as deep as the sea were silently watching the area where Lin Muyang and his group were, either through floating crystal balls or magic light screens flowing with data streams.

Their gazes were grave and complex, with vigilance, anticipation, and suspicion intertwined.

This sudden visitor from another world had already become tied to them.

Lin Muyang did not take the faint, prying gazes from the Holy City to heart, nor did he intend to deliberately conceal himself.

In his eyes, what he was doing at the moment was nothing that couldn't be shown to others, and he could even appropriately demonstrate his strength.

These demonic creature tribes entrenched on the surface, ranging from epic to mythic grade, had long been a deep-seated ailment and tumor for human civilization in the Atlantis World.

They not only occupied vast lands and resources but also constantly squeezed the humans' living space, eventually forcing the entire human race to retreat to the sky, huddling in floating cities, and losing the freedom and foundation of walking on the earth.

From this perspective, what Lin Muyang was doing now—hunting these demonic creatures that threatened human survival—was equivalent to a blessing from heaven for the people of this world, helping them remove a major threat.

Of course, Lin Muyang's main purpose was not to act as a savior, but this did not prevent his actions from being objectively highly consistent with the interests of the locals.

However, when Lin Muyang leisurely stepped out of the Shadow Labyrinth secret realm with his large group of beautiful ladies, all the Holy City experts who saw this scene through remote observation means collectively fell into a brief stupor and an even deeper shock.

What was going on?!

Why were there so many girls following that mysterious young man from the other world? And not just one or two, but over a dozen!

Their appearances and temperaments were different—some cold, some charming, some gentle, some lively—each one of them was a beauty, as if all the most beautiful starlight in the world had gathered together.

But what made these knowledgeable Holy City bigwigs even more terrified was the energy fluctuation faintly emanating from these young ladies, which, despite being deliberately restrained, was still heart-palpitating!

Each of them seemed to possess combat power far exceeding their apparent age and level! This completely subverted their common sense; geniuses were hard to come by, so how could there be a reason for gathering a dozen geniuses of this level all at once?

What exactly was this Lin Muyang's background? Did his world produce such monster-like beauties?

Lin Muyang paid no attention to the commotion he might have caused.

He quickly locked onto an ideal target area according to the demonic creature distribution map received in the Lingxi.

It was a large-scale city ruin located on a vast plain.

Judging from the outlines of the remaining high-rise buildings and the wide street foundations, this must have been a quite prosperous human metropolis hundreds of years ago.

However, today, it had completely become a paradise for demonic creatures.

Among the broken walls and ruins, dozens of different demonic creature tribes were wandering, inhabiting, and fighting!

Most of them belonged to the legendary-grade, with levels ranging from 150 to 250, forming a subtle and fragile balance.

The Shadow Wolf pack occupied the commercial district in the east, hunting using the complex shadows of the buildings; the Gargoyle family used the ruins of the statues in the central square as their nest, emitting ear-piercing friction sounds day and night; the Rotten Swamp Hydra bred in the lake of the former city park, turning it into a poison pool; Shadow Leopards, Earth-Splitting Rhinos, Storm Harpies, Crystal-Shelled Poison Scorpions... all kinds of legendary-grade demonic creatures had carved up this ruin.

They were wary of each other, checking and balancing one another, with constant small frictions, but rarely erupting into a war of extermination, because everyone worried about the snipe and the clam fighting, while the fisherman gains.

This strange multipolar pattern, on the contrary, made this area a relatively safe habitat in the eyes of low-intelligence demonic creatures; unless a Mythical-grade demonic creature tribe with a level exceeding 400 intervened with absolute strength, it would be difficult to break the balance here.

And today, the breaker of that balance had arrived.

Lin Muyang activated the Divine Concealment Aura, and with all the young ladies, like a top-tier ghost special forces team, they silently passed through the sporadic demonic creatures wandering on the periphery and penetrated into the core area of this huge ruin.

They stood on the top of a half-collapsed skyscraper, overlooking the world of demonic creatures below, which was like a boiling anthill.

"The quantity and quality of the demonic creatures here are just right," Lin Muyang nodded with satisfaction and said to the young ladies surrounding him, "Next, your main task is to use your Origin Skill or the powerful skills you've shared to your heart's content to clear out these monsters."

He paused, a hint of a smile in his eyes: "I will activate all relevant buffing Aura, especially the newly discovered bond combinations. With the support of these Aura, the speed at which your Origin Skill gains experience when killing demonic creatures will be more than ten times the normal situation. Simply calculating, the overall efficiency will probably be four or five hundred times faster than an ordinary Class Transferee."

Four or five hundred times!

This number made some of the young ladies who hadn't experienced it before couldn't help but click their tongues.

This meant that the Origin Skill experience they gained from grinding here for one day might equal what other geniuses earned after working hard and risking their lives training outside for a whole year!

Of course, this terrifying efficiency was built on Lin Muyang's unique God-Tier Aura system, as well as the nearly infinite monster resources presented on the surface of Atlantis.

Looking at the entire Blue Star, or even other known worlds, it would likely be difficult to replicate.

"Do you all understand?" Lin Muyang looked around at the ladies.

"Understood!" the young ladies answered in unison, their beautiful eyes burning with fighting spirit and anticipation.

The opportunity to become stronger quickly was right in front of them, and no one would hesitate.

"Then," Lin Muyang's mouth curved into an arc, "let our performance begin."

With a thought, he lifted the Divine Concealment state covering the entire team.

The moment their figures suddenly solidified from the void, and their Auras were released recklessly —

"Roar — —!"

"Screech — —!"

"Howl — —!"

In the ruins below, dozens of demonic creature tribes seemed to have their tails stepped on at the same time, erupting with earth-shattering roars and screeches!

For these sharp-sensing legendary-grade demonic creatures, a group of strange life forms emitting powerful energy fluctuations suddenly appearing on the commanding heights of their territory was undoubtedly a naked provocation and invasion!

Almost instinctively, the monsters from the nearest tribes, like a black tide, surged out from the streets, buildings, and underground caves, carrying violent Auras, and swarmed toward the skyscraper!

In the sky, the Storm Harpy cluster emitted ear-piercing sound waves, their sharp claws gleaming with cold light as they swooped down!
