67: Does Chapter 67, which is already this big, still need to be supplemented?

When Elabess simulated a cold and majestic mature female voice that spread throughout Zhongnan City and its surrounding areas like an Oracle...

All the residents and Class Transferees of Zhongnan City, after a brief moment of shock, immediately realized what was happening!

They clearly saw those Class Transferees from Qinghe City, who had previously been arrogant and overbearing by relying on their high levels and powerful skills, now looking like ducks with their necks squeezed, their faces filled with terror and disbelief! They waved their weapons in vain, trying to release skills, but they couldn't even condense the most basic magical light!

Everyone was silenced! No one could release any skills!

It turned out that some people were completely relying on their level and skill advantages to bully others...

But now, without the support of skills, they were like tigers with their teeth pulled out.

Even if the local Class Transferees were only half their level, they were no longer afraid of them at all!

Not to mention those high-level powerhouses with powerful Auras who were originally confronting each other in the sky.

???

The Class Transferees who had come from far away in Qinghe City fell into a collective state of confusion and panic at this moment.

What the hell is going on?

Who has such heaven-defying means to actually force a silence on all of them at once?

Someone unwillingly tried to use a crowd-control removal skill, even activating the cleansing effects attached to their equipment, only to discover in despair that all these means had failed! That silence effect was like the sturdiest of shackles, not budging an inch!

“Hahaha! This is truly satisfying!”

Shen Yanshan, who had been confronting the Shadow Priest in the clouds, couldn't help but laugh out loud at this moment, the pent-up frustration in his heart swept away.

In front of him, the Shadow Mage dressed in a black robe had already turned pale! Not only could he not release any offensive or support skills, but even the spell to maintain flight had failed! The black cloud beneath his feet that he relied on to stand instantly dissipated, and he fell straight toward the ground like a kite with a broken string!

Shen Yanshan, with his hands behind his back and in a cheerful mood, leisurely followed above the other party as they both fell toward the ground.

The opponent was, after all, a powerhouse over level 100. Even if he temporarily lost the ability to fly, by relying on his powerful base attributes, he landed with a roll and stood firmly, uninjured.

It was just that...

His face, hidden under the black robe, had turned extremely ugly, as dark as the bottom of a pot.

One must know, he was a Shadow Mage! Eighty percent of his abilities lay in various eerie shadow spells! If his skills were available, he was confident he could contend with Shen Yanshan for a long time. But now, being completely silenced...

Wouldn't he become like meat on a chopping block, only to be thrashed by a high-burst damage class like Shen Yanshan?

“Retreat! Everyone, retreat immediately!”

This Shadow Mage was also decisive; knowing things couldn't be done, he realized Qinghe City's pressure campaign had completely failed. Without any hesitation, he made a prompt decision, turned around, and sped toward Qinghe City at full speed, wanting only to leave this place that made him feel incredibly frustrated as quickly as possible.

Similar situations were happening in various secret realm areas on the outskirts of Zhongnan City.

Those Qinghe City Class Transferees who were previously arrogant were now like startled birds. Under the mocking and retaliatory gazes of the local Class Transferees, they fled in a sorry state.

As for Lin Muyang.

After activating the full-range Silence Domain Aura and turning the entire situation around.

His gaze indifferently cast downward.

The young man from before, wearing a baseball cap and holding a long saber while pestering Shen Muyao, was also full of shock and panic. He couldn't understand at all how he had suddenly been silenced. And looking at the situation, it seemed all his accomplices from Qinghe City were in the same predicament!

“An opportunity! Slowing Aura, activate!”

“Control them!”

Shen Muyao below reacted extremely quickly, immediately realizing this was an excellent opportunity for a counterattack.

The opponent was silenced, and all skills were unusable, which was equivalent to losing their greatest reliance.

Even if their level was more than thirty levels higher than Shen Muyao's team and their base attributes were superior, they couldn't stop their actions now.

If they wanted to kill them, perhaps the damage was still a bit lacking.

But...

If the goal was merely to bypass the opponent's obstruction and safely enter the Dungeon, it became easy!

“Slowing Aura!”

“Iron Chain Entanglement!”

“Iceberg Freeze!”

Shen Muyao and her teammates didn't hesitate to throw various control skills at the group of Qinghe City Class Transferees.

That group of people couldn't use any displacement or cleanse skills now and could only watch helplessly as they were slowed, bound, and frozen into ice sculptures, unable to move.

And the Dungeon entrance previously frozen by the Frost Mage also rapidly melted and disintegrated as the caster was silenced and the frost lost its magical maintenance...

Shen Muyao led her team, quickly and orderly passing through the group of “ice sculptures” controlled in place, successfully entering the Dungeon they originally wanted to challenge.

Scenes of “beating a drowning dog” like this appeared in various surrounding secret realm areas.

The Class Transferees of Zhongnan City had been holding their breath all morning, and now they finally had a chance to vent, stepping forward to tease and obstruct those fleeing Qinghe City Class Transferees in various ways.

“Retreat! Quick, retreat!”

“Everyone, get the hell out of here! Don't stay and fight!”

The powerhouses who had led the way from Qinghe City could no longer care about face. They shouted at the top of their lungs, and they themselves took the lead, running away in a flash, wanting only to leave this area that felt incredibly bizarre and oppressive as quickly as possible.

Not long after.

In the originally noisy and chaotic Dungeon area around Zhongnan City...

Not a single Qinghe City Class Transferee could be seen anymore!

“We won!”

“We won!”

“That big shot is too amazing!”

The Class Transferees of Zhongnan City erupted in hearty cheers, celebrating this unexpected victory with each other.

At the same time, everyone was filled with immense worship and curiosity regarding the cold, mature female voice that had just resounded through the city.

They had all heard it, of course...

The owner of this voice was precisely that mysterious solo clearing genius who could solo high-difficulty secret realms!

After all, the recording of that “justifiable defense” from last night had already spread, and that unique voice had left a deep impression on countless people.

“My God! How strong is the Guardian behind her? To actually be able to cast such a large-scale group silence?”

“This effect, this range is simply comparable to the legendary Forbidden Spells!!”

“Hahaha, you guys didn't see it, but the guy who was blocking me just now ran so fast, crawling and rolling like a frightened rabbit!”

“Everyone is silenced; if they don't run, are they going to stay and wait for us to treat them to dinner?”

Online and in reality, countless people were excitedly discussing.

Zhongnan City's urban forum was once again flooded with keywords like “solo clearing genius,” “silence Aura,” and “mysterious mature lady,” with unprecedented popularity.

As for the instigator, Lin Muyang...

After using the Divine Sight Aura to confirm from a God's perspective that the surrounding area was clean, he prepared to find a new Dungeon to challenge.

As a result, he found that in the nearby level 30+ secret realm area, any slightly valuable gold rank or higher Dungeons were either already cleared in the chaos just now or showed “In Combat” at the entrance, meaning someone had already entered.

“It seems this is forcing me to go to Qinghe City's territory to clear Dungeons?” Lin Muyang shook his head, thinking somewhat helplessly.

In fact, he didn't want to cause such a big stir. But he couldn't just watch others ride up to his doorstep and act wild without doing anything, right?

It was also thanks to the fact that he had now unlocked enough Aura slots and his strength was no longer what it used to be that he could pull off such a shocking scene.

Now, he had driven away all the provocateurs with one move.

But then he had no Dungeons left to farm. What should he do?

The answer was simple—go farm on the opponent's territory!

This chaos mainly occurred on the Zhongnan City side. Presumably, on the Qinghe City side, there should still be many high-quality Dungeons and secret realms that hadn't been conquered yet.

“Let's go, target—Qinghe City~”

Lin Muyang took the four young ladies, maintaining an invisible state, and flew silently through the high sky, heading straight toward Qinghe City.

Elf Princess Lilia flew beside him, looking at the Qinghe City Class Transferees below who were retreating like a tide and fleeing in a sorry state, feeling extremely satisfied.

Meanwhile, Angel Maiden Elena worked hard to flap her snow-white wings, curiously observing this world below that was completely different from her hometown, her beautiful eyes filled with a desire to explore the unknown.

Succubus Maiden Elabess always maintained a gentle and quiet smile. To her, nothing in the world was as important as Lin Muyang; as long as she could follow by his side, it was enough.

Dragon girl Ao Qingyan was as cold as ever. She didn't care about the surrounding disturbances at all and only wanted to find a suitable Dungeon as quickly as possible to go in, kill monsters, and increase her strength!

Thus, while those defeated Qinghe City Class Transferees were still on their way back.

Lin Muyang had already led his team of young ladies, arriving over Qinghe City first at a speed far exceeding theirs!

“Divine Sight.”

Lin Muyang quietly activated his God's perspective, scanning like a radar to quickly investigate the Dungeon and secret realm entrance information around Qinghe City.

Soon, various pieces of information were fed back:

[Dungeon Level: 33]

[Dungeon Quality: platinum rank]

[Dungeon Players: 0/4]

[Dungeon Status: Idle]

“Just a platinum rank? Let's put it aside for now.” Lin Muyang was not satisfied.

He stood high above, his sharp gaze searching all around.

Dungeons and secret realms from levels 31-40 ranged in quality from the lowest silver rank to the highest diamond rank.

Silver and gold rank ones, with his current strength and needs, were simply not worth his attention anymore.

platinum rank... he could barely manage to do them, but the returns would definitely not be as good as diamond rank.

His primary goal was, naturally, to find diamond rank Dungeons or secret realms!

Hard work paid off.

Soon, Lin Muyang locked onto a secret realm entrance emitting a deep light next to a rapid river in the suburbs of Qinghe City!

[Secret Realm: Minotaur Stronghold (Team)]

[Level: 34]

[Quality: Diamond]

[Players: 0/8]

[Status: Idle]

“Found it, an 8-player diamond rank secret realm! This is the one!”

“Let's go.”

At a terrifying speed that broke the sonic barrier.

Lin Muyang led the young ladies like they were teleporting, crossing a distance of more than ten kilometers in a short time and silently entering that secret realm entrance emitting a primitive Aura.

It could be said that this secret realm appeared at just the right time!

Inside the secret realm was a vast primitive mountain area. Lin Muyang had just teleported in with the girls when he discovered several Minotaur hulks in the dense woods ahead, over two meters tall with knotted muscles and holding giant battle-axes, performing patrol duties.

“Wow! Is this a Minotaur?” Angel Elena saw this kind of creature for the first time and let out a small exclamation of surprise.

“What's wrong with a Minotaur? Haven't you seen one before?” Elf Lilia asked back curiously.

“They look... so ugly!” Elena carefully looked at the Minotaurs' rough skin, giant horns, and hideous faces, her small face showing an undisguised expression of distaste.

Lin Muyang felt that this Angel Maiden was like a curious baby who had just entered the city, finding everything fresh and being very outspoken...

However, for Elena's special “Maid” class, Lin Muyang held great expectations in his heart.

He wondered... as her level continued to rise, what kind of strange yet powerful and practical exclusive skills would she be able to unlock in the future?

“Alright, get ready to start farming.”

Lin Muyang checked the team status.

Very good, both he and the four young ladies had the powerful “Experience Gain +100%” buff provided by Elena's [Making the Bed] skill.

This buff, combined with his own ten-fold experience Aura.

Totaled twenty times the experience gain efficiency!

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

This leveling speed is so incredible that no one would believe it if they were told!

Right now, Lin Muyang can activate seven God-Tier Aura simultaneously.

10x Attack, 10x Defense, and 10x Experience—these three are the core for mob grinding and must be activated.

"Infinite Firepower" and 10x Origin Skill experience—these two accelerate skill development and are also mandatory.

There are still two slots left.

Lin Muyang chose "Eye of Lethality" and "Power of Wind Control."

Since the level 34 diamond rank mobs already have quite substantial HP and defense, activating the critical hit Aura significantly boosts clearing efficiency; otherwise, the speed would be several times slower.

As for the 10x Speed Aura, it significantly accelerates movement across the entire mountain Dungeon.

For mob grinding at this stage, these seven Auras are arguably the perfect configuration—not one can be missing!

This "Minotaur Stronghold" Dungeon spans over ten kilometers across the mountain range, with five powerful BOSS strongholds distributed along the path.

If it were an ordinary 8-person elite team, assuming everything went smoothly, it would take at least two to three hours to clear it completely.

But for Lin Muyang's team...

A mere fifteen minutes!

Inside the Dungeon, every Minotaur blocking the way—whether mob or elite—was completely wiped out!

During this highly efficient grinding process,

the newly summoned Angel Maiden Elena, still at a very low level, saw her experience bar shoot up like a rocket as her level skyrocketed!

"Your summon 'Angel Elena' has leveled up! Current level: 2!"

"Your summon 'Angel Elena' has leveled up! Current level: 3!"

"Your summon 'Angel Elena' has leveled up! Current level: 4!"

...

"Your summon 'Angel Elena' has leveled up! Current level: 20! During the leveling process, she successfully awakened a brand new exclusive skill!"

Since Elena's skill unlocking mechanism is 'the higher the level, the greater the probability of unlocking,'

she only unlocked two new skills in total when she surged from level 1 to level 20 in one go.

Lin Muyang checked her newly acquired abilities with great interest:

"Skill 3: Angel Knead. The angel personally kneads your shoulders. During this process, the recipient gains the special effect of 'significantly accelerated skill cooldown speed'!"

"Skill 4: Holy Light Milk Tea. Condenses pure Holy Light to brew a cup of fragrant milk tea. Drinking it instantly clears mental and physical fatigue (effect equivalent to 2 hours of high-quality sleep). This skill has a 10-minute cooldown."

Lin Muyang pondered for a moment and decided to test the effects himself.

He beckoned to Elena, "Elena, come here."

As a Summoner, he had quite a few skill books in his inventory. Since there were no class restrictions for learning skills, he had basically learned every useful Summoner skill he had farmed.

Among them, the skill with the longest cooldown was a diamond rank skill called "Heavenly Drive Array."

"Heavenly Drive Array (diamond rank): Summoner skill. Upon activation, it creates a holy array beneath your feet that continuously heals all summons within range and blocks all incoming long-range projectile attacks. The effect lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1800 seconds."

The skill's effects aside (healing summons and blocking projectiles weren't very useful for Lin Muyang, who could currently one-shot mobs), its 1800-second (30-minute) cooldown was truly excessive.

"I've activated the 'Infinite Firepower' Aura, which reduces this skill's cooldown to 180 seconds..."

With a thought, Lin Muyang raised his hand and cast "Heavenly Drive Array"!

A complex array emitting a gentle golden light instantly formed and began to rotate beneath his feet.

Angel Maiden Elena, who was standing behind him, was also enveloped in the healing light, feeling warm and comfortable all over.

Then, following Lin Muyang's instructions, Elena walked behind him, reached out with her slender, soft, and warm hands, placed them gently on his shoulders, and began to knead rhythmically.

Immediately after, Lin Muyang was surprised to see that the cooldown bar for "Heavenly Drive Array" in his skill bar began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The cooldown was originally 180 seconds. But with Elena's "Angel Knead" service, only about 16 seconds had passed in total before the skill icon lit up again, indicating it could be used once more!

"Let's see..."

"This 'Angel Knead' effect has shortened the cooldown by almost 90%?"

"If combined with my 'Infinite Firepower' Aura, the cooldown reduction stacks... wouldn't that be equivalent to a hundredfold cooldown reduction effect?"

I have to say, the effect of this "Angel Knead" skill is unexpectedly powerful!

The only drawback is that it's a bit cumbersome; after all, you can't have an angel fly over to massage your shoulders every time you cast a skill during battle, right? The mental image is too much to handle... though it certainly feels comfortable, with the angel's small, soft, and warm hands.

Lin Muyang shook his head, putting aside the issue of practical application for now, and turned his attention to Elena's fourth skill.

Holy Light Milk Tea!

"Before it was coffee, now it's milk tea? Is this angel a master of beverages?"

The coffee provided powerful health regeneration, which Lin Muyang didn't really need at the moment.

But the effect of this Holy Light Milk Tea was much more practical—drinking one cup was equivalent to two hours of high-quality sleep! If this could be mass-produced, wouldn't it theoretically allow for "perpetual motion," eliminating the need for sleep?

"Angel's Special Milk Tea?"

"Sounds good, let's try it!"

Lin Muyang had a thought and called Elena over to make one on the spot.

Elena elegantly raised a hand, palm facing upward. A touch of soft, pure Holy Light gathered and took shape in her palm, eventually forming an exquisite, petite cup, with the faint outlines of a pair of cute light wings on its rim.

This cup was composed entirely of Holy Light energy; once the drink inside was finished, the cup itself would dissipate.

Immediately after, a rich, sweet, and unique aroma, carrying hints of milk and tea, wafted from the Holy Light cup, making one feel refreshed just by smelling it.

Lin Muyang took the "Holy Light Milk Tea" and downed it without hesitation.

Gulp, gulp... he drank it all in a few mouthfuls.

Instantly, he felt a cool, comfortable energy flow through his entire body. The lingering fatigue from "exchanging culinary skills" with Elabess until late last night vanished in an instant!

He felt refreshed and full of energy, and his mind seemed even clearer and sharper!

"Mmm! Fragrant and delicious with significant effects! Excellent!" Lin Muyang praised her without hesitation.

Hearing the praise, Elena's fair cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, feeling a bit shy.

Her milk tea-making skill had an initial cooldown of 10 minutes, but under the buff of Lin Muyang's "Infinite Firepower" Aura, the cooldown was reduced to 1 minute—meaning she could produce a cup of potent "Holy Light Milk Tea" every minute.

Consequently, Lin Muyang called back the Succubus Maiden Elabess, who was clearing mobs up ahead. "Elabess, you especially, come over and drink a few more cups. You are what you eat—drink up and restore yourself."

Elabess looked at the Holy Light Milk Tea Lin Muyang handed her, which exuded an enticing aroma, and heard his suggestive words. She was initially confused, but then a blush spread across her beautiful face, and she shot Lin Muyang a coquettish glare.

"You are what you eat"... can drinking milk tea really replenish *that*? Master is truly... And does she really need replenishment for being this well-endowed?

A mere fifteen minutes later, this level 34 diamond rank Dungeon, the "Minotaur Mountain Stronghold," was completely cleared by Lin Muyang's team with crushing force.

He led the young ladies out of the Dungeon and, without a moment's pause, immediately sought out the next target. Relying on his incredibly high movement speed, they soon locked onto and entered a level 37 diamond rank Dungeon.

Then, in just eight minutes, this level 37 diamond rank Dungeon was also easily cleared, and the Dungeon entrance dissipated.

It was only then that the powerhouses from Qinghe City, who had suffered heavy losses in Zhongnan City and retreated in a sorry state, finally returned to Qinghe City one after another, still shaken.

As a result, before they had even fully recovered, they received even more infuriating news—that elusive "solo clearing genius" from Zhongnan City had actually taken advantage of their undefended rear to enter Qinghe City's territory and was now looting their high-level Dungeon resources in return?

How could they possibly tolerate this?! It was practically an insult to their faces—too bullying!

In an instant, the many powerhouses of Qinghe City contacted each other via communicators, burning with rage. They quickly gathered, intending to join forces and set an ambush at the entrance of the next Dungeon where the "solo clearing genius" might appear, determined to corner him and wash away their humiliation!

Meanwhile, Lin Muyang had just led the young ladies into a level 38 platinum rank team Dungeon.

Although it was only platinum rank... it was at least a 16-person team Dungeon, with numerous monsters inside, and the experience gained from grinding was still quite substantial.

Consequently, the powerhouses from Qinghe City, led by the black-robed Shadow Mage, gathered around the perimeter of the entrance to this level 38 Dungeon.

"Stay sharp! That guy has an extremely strange, massive-area silence ability!"

"We cannot rely on our skills! Get your trump card magic scrolls ready! Use the scrolls for attacks and crowd control!"

"Let's join forces to set up multiple magic barriers and seal off this area! Then, we'll catch him like a turtle in a jar!"

They thought their plan was foolproof, but they didn't know that the number of Auras Lin Muyang could activate simultaneously far exceeded their imagination; an ambush and barrier of their level might not necessarily be able to trap him.

However, Lin Muyang remained vigilant. The truly terrifying entities in this world were not these low-level opponents before him, but the truly top-tier powerhouses who had already developed and possessed talents reaching SS or even SSS rank!

Those high-level powerhouses with top-tier equipment could shatter mountains with mere physical strength, and their speed was so great that Lin Muyang might not even have time to react.

If he were secretly targeted by such an existence... even if Lin Muyang possessed an invincible life-saving Aura like the "Holy Hourglass," he couldn't keep it activated constantly, as he wouldn't be able to move at all.

Just as Lin Muyang was thinking about the threats he might face in the future while grinding mobs,

Angel Maiden Elena continued to gain experience as she followed the team, and her level steadily rose.

When she finally caught up and reached level 30, a light flashed over her, and she successfully unlocked her fifth exclusive skill!

When Lin Muyang saw the description of this new skill, even with his composure, he couldn't help but gasp and call it insane!

"Skill 5: tears of the angel. Condenses the angel's purest origin and emotions into a single tear containing the power of miracles. Using tears of the angel has a certain probability of permanently increasing the talent rank of the Class Transferee or their summons!"

The effect of this skill... truly shocked Lin Muyang!! Increasing talent rank! What did this mean? It meant a breakthrough in potential; it meant the door to a path of greater strength had been opened! This was simply a divine skill capable of defying fate!
