Soloing the Skeleton Graveyard

The person on the phone with Tian Ye was a combat professor from Jingdu University.

The minimum entry requirement for Jingdu University was S-Rank Professionals.

Jingdu University controlled many Dungeons.

The resources were extremely abundant.

As long as Professionals could pass the exam and enter Jingdu University,

they could reach Level 20 and complete the Class Transfer Mission in the shortest time possible.

Tian Ye also graduated from Jingdu University.

He saw that Lin Yuan's potential was extraordinary,

so he wanted his teacher to use the special recruitment process to admit Lin Yuan into Jingdu University early.

The Skeleton Graveyard was located at the southernmost tip of Tianfeng City, considered the suburbs.

Although the location was remote, the Professionals gathered here were numerous.

"I am a Level 12 Warrior, C-Rank Defense Talent, 2000 HP, 180 Defense. Seeking a team for Hard Difficulty Skeleton Graveyard."

"normal difficulty Skeleton Graveyard self-improvement team, need one Healer to join."

"Level 15 Shield Warrior, 3800 HP, 260 Defense, offering carries for Adventurous Difficulty and below Skeleton Graveyard. 50,000 per spot, limited slots."

"Silver Scale Breastplate, 100,000 per piece, buy quickly!"

Within 200 meters of the Skeleton Graveyard entrance, everything was being sold.

Lin Yuan even saw a stall displaying many Ghost-Expelling Talismans,

the kind that were purely hand-drawn.

They cost 100 yuan each and were selling quite well.

"Brother Lin, there are too many people," Sun Xu gasped. "There must be at least a thousand Professionals around."

"Too few," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. "You haven't counted those who have already entered the Dungeon."

"Counting them, the number would double."

Sun Xu looked left and right, planning to find a somewhat reliable team.

"Hey, Brother Lin, that squad is missing a Healer. I'll go check it out."

Sun Xu had his eye on a squad with an average level of around 12.

Two Warriors, one Mage, and one Archer.

Sun Xu didn't want to join them because of the class composition,

but because all four Professionals in the squad were female.

Damn, this old pervert!

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes internally.

At first, the four female Professionals in the team were somewhat resistant to Sun Xu, a male Priest.

But when Sun Xu showed his Talent and skills, the women immediately grabbed him and wouldn't let go.

"Brother Lin, I'm heading off now!" Sun Xu winked at Lin Yuan.

He was the definition of prioritizing women over friends.

"Go north!" Lin Yuan returned a middle finger.

Arriving at the Dungeon entrance, Lin Yuan started queuing.

Dungeons were not places one could simply enter casually.

Personnel from the Demon Suppression Army and the Professional Guild guarded the entrance,

checking the passes and identities of passing Professionals.

While queuing, a significant commotion broke out at the back of the line.

A five-person squad brazenly cut in front of everyone.

After the staff of the Demon Suppression Army and the Professionals Association verified their identities, they chose to let them through.

"Why are they allowed to cut the line?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.

A Knight standing in front of Lin Yuan heard this and turned his head. "This is your first time at the Skeleton Graveyard, right?"

Lin Yuan nodded. "That's right."

"The squad that just went in is the pioneering team of the Sword of Dawn Guild. Every one of them is an elite among Professionals."

"A month ago, their squad achieved the First Kill of the Level 10 Dungeon Goblin Forest on Nightmare difficulty."

"They are probably here today hoping to get the First Kill for the Skeleton Graveyard on Nightmare difficulty."

"Did you see the black pass they were holding? That's a Nightmare difficulty pass only obtainable by passing the Professionals Association's highest difficulty examination."

"With a Nightmare difficulty pass, you don't need to queue to enter any Dungeon."

The old Knight looked envious.

Looking at his hand, he held a white normal difficulty pass.

The old Knight had an F-Rank Talent and had stumbled along for nearly two years just to reach Level 12.

His dream was to reach Level 20 before age 35, complete the First Class Transfer Mission,

and then find a job as a security guard in a high-end residential area or school.

"The Nightmare Pass has this use too?"

"Why didn't anyone say so earlier?"

Lin Yuan stepped out of the crowd and walked to the front of the line.

"Hey, where did this reckless kid come from? Get to the back of the line..."

A Level 14 Warrior, 1.8 meters tall and carrying a shield, was about to walk over and stop Lin Yuan, but he was fiercely pulled back by his teammates.

Because,

Lin Yuan held a black pass in his hand.

"A Nightmare difficulty pass!"

The Warrior's shout attracted the attention of many people.

The queuing Professionals all craned their necks to look forward.

Sun Xu's squad was among them.

"How old is he? And he already has a Nightmare difficulty pass."

"I really envy him. With a Nightmare difficulty pass, his teammates must be very powerful too."

"My Brother Lin doesn't have teammates," Sun Xu said, pointing to the pass in Lin Yuan's hand.

"Look closely at the Sword Mark. That's the symbol obtained only by successfully completing a solo challenge."

Hearing Sun Xu's words, the Professionals were immediately shocked.

"Holy crap, it really is the Sword Mark!"

"Today really opened my eyes."

"A Nightmare difficulty Sword Mark Pass—I can brag about this to my friends when I get back."

Even after Lin Yuan entered the Dungeon, the surrounding Professionals were still discussing the matter.

Sun Xu smiled slightly and took out his phone.

He uploaded a handsome photo of Lin Yuan holding the pass, showing only his profile, to the Professional Forum.

"The Strongest Summoner in History, Debate If You Dare"

"Soloing Nightmare difficulty Dungeons is as Easy as Eating and Drinking—His True Identity is Revealed"

Done!

...[Skeleton Graveyard]

Target Level: 1–15

Difficulty: Normal—Nightmare

Monster Type: Undead

[You have entered Nightmare Difficulty Skeleton Graveyard. Skeleton Knight Mosa will launch an attack in 5 minutes. Please prepare to face the Undead Army.]

[If you fail to kill Skeleton Knight Mosa within 1 hour, Mosa will open a passage to the Undead Plane and leave this place.]

"A defense type?"

"I like it."

A Dungeon where you don't need to search for monsters is truly hassle-free.

Just wait for the monsters to come knocking and deliver themselves to death.

"A Li, time to get to work."

The Summoning skill was released. A Li appeared beside Lin Yuan, holding a Violin.

"Huh???" Lin Yuan was stunned. "A Violin?"

What's going on?

Is he going to be an artist?

Carefully putting away the Violin, A Li drew his Fine Iron Longsword and assumed a battle stance.

[Battle Start]

As the 5-minute countdown ended, Lin Yuan heard a burst of messy footsteps.

Over a hundred Skeleton Warriors charged from the front.

[Skeleton Warrior] (Normal)

[Level: LV12]

[HP: 6000]

[Attack Power: 300]

[Defense: 0]

[Skill (Bone Hyperplasia): Defense increases by 50 points]

Skeleton Warriors belong to the lowest tier of the food chain among Undead creatures,

but if you think they are easy to deal with, you would be terribly mistaken.
