23: My Lord, you have suffered!

Upon returning to the hotel, Shen Pan first checked the status of the Secret Realm pendant.

Only after confirming there were no abnormalities did he finally set his mind at ease.

"Use experience crystal!"

【Rank: 23 → 24】

Shen Pan used up his last experience crystal.

For the next few days, he would have to live a life where leveling up was tight.

After all, Daxia regulations stated that within one month of a Professional's Awakening, they were not allowed to enter dungeons and Secret Realms privately; they could only participate in dungeons organized uniformly by the government or schools.

It was said to be for the students' safety, to prevent any Prodigy from accidentally entering a mutated dungeon or being scammed to death by unscrupulous guilds.

However, this only restricted ordinary people.

Those Clan descendants could still enter dungeons controlled by their Family to grind monsters.

Because 【Replication】 was just too useful and could even help him steal skills, Shen Pan decisively used up all his skill points to upgrade it to Lv4!

He could now record the skills of a Rank 69 powerhouse!

"Knock, knock, knock!!!"

A series of urgent and impolite sounds rang out.

"Is Shen Pan inside? I am from the Zhang Family, and I want to discuss a deal with you!"

Was he exposed?

Shen Pan's body stiffened for a split second as he gazed vigilantly toward the door.

"The Martial Administration Bureau wouldn't sell my information, and Xiao Jiang was fooled by me, so he wouldn't know the specific room number."

Eliminating all impossibilities...

Shen Pan turned his head to look at the phone on the table, a trace of astonishment flashing across his face.

He had been doxxed!

Fortunately, the omnipotent System couldn't stand this kind of doxxing behavior either and revealed the other party's identity first.

【As the youngest son of the Lu Family, the fact that you took first place in the entrance examination was soon known by everyone in the city.

But just as humans will always have infighting, you have successfully been targeted by the Lu Family's enemies.】

【They cannot tolerate the appearance of a true Prodigy in the Lu Family; this does not align with their plans!

Especially since the Lu Family was a former lackey of Councilor Ruan.

Because the other party betrayed Blue Star, your current situation is awkward, and you are only glorious on the surface.

If something really happens, no one will stand up for you.】

【Unfortunately, a powerful assassin has used the resources of a human trafficker to sneak into the manor where you are staying to attend the celebration party.】

【Task: Repel the invading enemy!】

【Reward: One skill point, one upgrade point! (Perhaps you could use your brain?)】

A human trafficker?

An assassin!

"Beep!"

It seemed that seeing Shen Pan had not replied for a long time, the hotel room door was kicked open directly.

It was a young man wearing casual clothes.

"Zhang Family, Zhang San. As the conqueror of the dungeon, you must have an extra experience crystal. Name your price!"

Shen Pan: "???"

Such a classic trope was happening to him too?

He looked at the young man who called himself Zhang San.

Although his eyes were full of arrogance, his figure was incredibly stiff, like a puppet.

"Heh!"

Spiritual power surged in Shen Pan's hands.

Zhang San's consciousness was incredibly active at this moment, and he felt his luck was truly good today.

Originally, he had already gone out, planning to get some good goods and hang out with friends.

As a result, he saw the news that the exchange meeting had ended.

He was familiar with what the rewards were after conquering a Secret Realm.

In a daze, a thought suddenly popped into Zhang San's mind: He could be the first person to come to the door and buy the experience crystal!

Moreover, this voice became louder and louder, noisier and noisier.

It left him no time to report to his Family.

He walked to Shen Pan's room door, dizzy.

He took out a universal room card that he didn't know when he had put in his pocket and opened Shen Pan's room.

"Could it be that I've been exercising too much lately? Why am I still so dazed while walking?"

He felt he was a bit reckless today and might get scolded by his uncle when he went back.

But fortunately, Shen Pan was just an orphan with no background.

So what if he had a Legendary-rank Profession?

In the future, wouldn't he still be working for Daxia, for these Families like them!

Before Zhang San could fully enter the room, a low voice reached his ears: "Decapitation Greatsword!"

Zhang San subconsciously shrank his neck and crouched down, wanting to dodge the decapitation strike.

"Sshhh!"

A deep blue spear had already pierced his chest, continuing to stab downwards at an angle.

It went straight into the abnormal shadow at his feet.

This was a strike that had fused two Mental Pierces!

"Ah!!!"

"Ugh!"

Two different sounds rang out.

However, the second one was clearly just a muffled groan, having not received much damage.

Zhang San instantly regained control of his body, and the intense pain in his mind made him realize.

He had been hypnotized!

The enemy was right beside him!

"Save me, I am a direct descendant of the Zhang Family, I am—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the aftereffects of his Soul being pierced and his heart being pierced struck simultaneously.

He immediately entered a deep sleep.

"He actually dodged it at the critical moment."

Slippery, just like a loach.

Ignoring Zhang San, who was suspected to be a human trafficker.

Shen Pan, in the 【Heavenly God】 state, pulled out the spear with a cold face.

He looked at the strange figure that had flashed to the bedside.

At the same time, a strange feeling appeared in the depths of his heart.

The other party seemed to... have Dragon Bloodline in their body?

It was just a bit weak!

Combining this with the System's prompt, he already had a way to break the situation.

"Powerful Legendary Rank skill, mutated version of Mental Pierce, physical fitness close to Rank 5!"

"The target's combat power severely deviates from the information, threat level upgraded, mission failed."

The figure wearing a black cloak suddenly twisted, wanting to turn into a shadow to escape.

Shen Pan gave a violent shout: "Kneel!!!"

The intruder suddenly stiffened his body.

He felt an incomparably primitive and tyrannical aura, full of savagery and antiquity, strike his brain directly.

It was just like an insect encountering a bird, or an animal encountering its natural predator.

It triggered the instinctive fear carved into his Soul!

His body acted involuntarily.

Then, under Shen Pan's "as I expected" gaze, he slowly bent his waist and knelt down.

During this process, the other party revealed the face under the hood.

It was an alien race covered in gray scales with animalistic vertical pupils!

The alien quickly sobered up and muttered in disbelief: "Such high concentration of Bloodline, are you a People of God?"

"Are you a Demigod of ours from the Desolate God Realm left behind outside?"

Refusing to believe it, he even took out a dim scale and aimed it at Shen Pan.

"Whoosh~"

The scale immediately erupted with dazzling golden light!

And in this wisp of golden light, it had already begun to be mixed with a little bit of color!

"Ah?"

The alien was somewhat dumbfounded.

With such a high-purity Bloodline reaction, even Steward Lai was far inferior!

Referring to the fact that Shen Pan had a completely human appearance without any Dragon-transformation characteristics, it meant that the other party's Bloodline was extremely stable and would not be discovered by people in a normal state!

Even judging solely from the Bloodline concentration, the other party was completely a pure-blooded Dragon of the Legendary Rank!

He was a Divine Child even more noble than a priest!

He was the true Dragon God Bloodline!!!

Although a Divine Child growing up on Blue Star sounded a bit ridiculous, the test could not be wrong!

A God's Bloodline could not be stripped or utilized even by other deities, let alone by Blue Star, which didn't even have a Legendary Rank!

The other party was very likely a backup plan left on Blue Star by Lord Dragon God!

Thinking of this, he began to kowtow without any psychological burden: "Lord Divine Child, you have suffered!"

"I am your humble servant, Qiu."

As he spoke, he wiped away tears, happy that he had found the Divine Child.

He should have thought of it earlier.

The very familiar mental attack.

The powerful body that far exceeded his own Realm.

If this wasn't a Divine Child, what was it?

"Huh?"

Shen Pan, who was just about to make a move, was stunned, his heart filled with astonishment.

Was the other party serious?

He had just been thinking of using his Bloodline to intimidate the other party and then taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!

Divine Child?

Me?
