Removal failed

Lin Xiao took out Venuss Blessing. Although he was a bit reluctant, he had no choice but to use it in this situation.

The thought of turning into that disgusting, warty, fat worm made his skin crawl.

Successfully used Venuss Blessing!

Under the influence of Venuss Blessing, all buffs, debuffs, and curses on you have been removed!

“Hmm?”

Lin Xiao frowned, because he could still feel the heart of curse inside him.

Due to the overwhelming power of the curse within you, it cannot be removed. It has been suppressed, but will immediately activate irreversibly after Class Awakening!

Seeing the notification, Lin Xiao's gaze froze.

It couldn't be removed!

“Isn't this the power of a god? Why can't it even remove a curse?”

Lin Xiao was shocked, but at the same time, he had a guess in his heart.

The power of this curse might be on the same level as Venus, or even surpass it!

“Then am I destined to become Curse Frost?”

“Not necessarily. As long as I don't reach Level 60, the curse won't activate.”

Only after completing the awakening and reaching Level 60 does the curse become irreversible. He still had time now!

“I have 40 levels of time. I should be able to find a way to remove the curse. If I don't find one, I'll just avoid clearing the awakening dungeon until I find a way to remove the curse.”

Lin Xiao was not overly pessimistic.

After all, only by clearing the awakening dungeon can one reach Level 60, so the initiative was still with him.

“After the God of War returns, I'll ask him if he has any other methods.”

Recalling his summoned beast, Lin Xiao stepped into the portal and left the dungeon... outside Wan Tian Mountain.

Monitoring Camp.

At this moment, white smoke billowed and flames burned here. Many personnel were rapidly extinguishing fires and salvaging valuable data.

“Company Commander Xia, what happened? Why did the instrument suddenly explode?” Qin Chuan asked with a frown.

Seeing that the other person wasn't speaking, Wuxiang nudged him with his elbow. “Hey, why do you look like you've been scared silly? What exactly happened? Why did the machine suddenly explode?”

Company Commander Xia finally reacted and explained, “The abyss energy suddenly increased, exceeding the machine's tolerance limit, so it exploded.”

“Abyss energy suddenly increased?”

Both of them asked in unison.

They didn't understand these technologies, but they knew these machines monitored the abyss situation in the dungeon.

The abyss energy suddenly increasing meant that a very strong Abyss Monster had appeared in the dungeon?

Company Commander Xia's expression was solemn as he continued, “About 20 seconds ago, a powerful abyss energy was detected in Wan Tian Mountain, and this energy level reached—Archdemon level!”

The two were stunned. “Archdemon?!”

They knew what an Archdemon was.

But how could Archdemon-level power appear in Wan Tian Mountain?

“You, you must be joking. It's just a very ordinary abyss dungeon, how could an Archdemon appear?”

Wuxiang's speech was a bit slurred.

He didn't believe Company Commander Xia's words.

An Archdemon appearing in an abyss dungeon was simply too outrageous.

It wasn't like they were in the Abyss itself.

“There's no mistake.” Company Commander Xia was very certain.

“Then we're in trouble.” Qin Chuan frowned. “Lin Xiao is still inside. If it really is an Archdemon, wouldn't that mean...”

“Looking for me?”

As soon as Lin Xiao came out, he heard someone mention him and subconsciously replied.

“Lin Xiao?! You're out?”

Seeing Lin Xiao appear, Company Commander Xia was extremely shocked.

Lin Xiao nodded, “I repelled the abyss, so I came out.”

He then glanced at the burning camp and the busy personnel, and couldn't help but ask, “Did an Abyss Monster run out and attack this place?”

Wuxiang stepped forward and looked Lin Xiao up and down a few times. “So you're Lin Xiao.”

Lin Xiao glanced at him. “It's me. Do you need something?”

“My name is Wuxiang. You repelled the abyss by yourself?”

Upon hearing the other person's name, Lin Xiao immediately knew who he was.

“Oh, so you're that Wuxiang whose resources were cut by 20%?”

A vein popped on Wuxiang's forehead, and he couldn't help but clench his fists. “Don't bring up old scores.”

“Lin Xiao, I am a Dragon Knight. You can also call me Qin Chuan.” Qin Chuan introduced himself.

“This time, my teacher originally sent me to go with you to the abyss, but I didn't expect you to go in by yourself.”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but admire this junior.

Many people couldn't repel the abyss alone.

Lin Xiao scratched his head, “Teacher Yao didn't say anyone was going with me. I thought it was a test for me alone.”

“You're showing off, you're showing off too much, even more than this guy Qin Chuan.” Wuxiang couldn't help but say, “No normal person would think of going into an abyss dungeon alone, right?”

“By the way, what is your class? How could you repel the abyss so quickly? Wan Tian Mountain has five dungeons, and all of them were affected.”

Not only was Wuxiang curious about this question, but Qin Chuan and Company Commander Xia were equally curious.

“Summoner. I let my summoned beasts clear one dungeon each.” Lin Xiao said faintly.

“Summoner? And one summoned beast clearing one dungeon? You're boasting, Summoners aren't that strong!”

Wuxiang was a hundred percent unconvinced.

Summoner... Qin Chuan finally understood why his teacher had taken Lin Xiao as a student.

“Did you encounter an Archdemon while clearing the abyss?”

Company Commander Xia interrupted their discussion and quickly asked about the important matter.

After all, this was no small matter.

Lin Xiao nodded, “An Archdemon? The Darkborn Archdemon?”

“Darkborn Archdemon?”

Company Commander Xia was shocked.

She was very familiar with the Darkborn Archdemon's great name. It was rumored that this 'Cradle Project' was orchestrated by him.

“You really encountered the Darkborn Archdemon?” Wuxiang looked at Lin Xiao with a suspicious gaze. “If you really encountered the Darkborn Archdemon, how could you come out unscathed?”

Hearing Wuxiang's reminder, Company Commander Xia noticed that Lin Xiao didn't have a single injury, which didn't seem like someone who had encountered an Archdemon.

Lin Xiao shrugged, “The Darkborn Archdemon came out of the abyss pillar and couldn't make a move, so what could happen?”

Wuxiang: “Then why did he come?”

“Maybe to clear his head.”

Wuxiang: “...”

He looked at Lin Xiao with an expression that said, 'You must think I'm an idiot.'... After dealing with the matters at Wan Tian Mountain, Lin Xiao returned directly to Imperial Capital University, and Qin Chuan naturally followed him back.

“You're back so soon? If you can't even clear a dungeon of this difficulty, don't even think about going down the Summoner path. Give up.”

Yao Tianyi said drunkenly while drinking.

“Teacher...”

Qin Chuan stepped forward, just about to speak, when Yao Tianyi interrupted him, “Xiao Chuan, you don't need to speak for him. The Summoner path is very difficult. If he can't clear a dungeon like this, he shouldn't think about the future.”

“No, Teacher, Lin Xiao repelled the abyss by himself. When I got there, he had already gone in.”

Qin Chuan quickly said, to avoid being interrupted again.

Yao Tianyi sat up, seemingly not having heard Qin Chuan's words clearly. “You said he repelled the abyss of Wan Tian Mountain alone?”

“Yes.” Qin Chuan nodded.

“That's impossible!”

“Absolutely impossible!”
