The Disappearance of Lin Yuan

When Zhou Ying recounted the story, he was quite indignant.

Because he had been tricked several times before.

A few years ago, Zhou Ying led a team determined to conquer the Deep Sea Cage.

However, they ended up getting a harsh lesson.

Later, Zhou Ying wished he could personally kill the escort target.

When he learned that Lin Yuan soloed the Deep Sea Cage,

Zhou Ying was extremely expectant.

He hoped that when Lin Yuan completed the escort mission,

he would definitely give him a good beating to vent his frustration.

What Zhou Ying didn't know was,

not only did Lin Yuan give Wells a severe beating,

but he also killed all of his clansmen.

Wells completely collapsed.

Even after he collapsed, Ghost didn't let him go, treating him like a guinea pig,

for experimenting with the newly acquired Telepathy skill.

"Escort-type Dungeons are indeed very time-consuming." Wei Ming nodded from the side.

"I once entered an escort-type Dungeon and it took 35 hours to conquer it."

"Lin Yuan is strong, so it shouldn't take him that long, but he definitely won't come out of the Dungeon anytime soon."

Wei Ming checked the time.

"It's getting late, and we have an exam tomorrow. Let's head over to the Spring of Tides first."

"Zhou Ying, leave a few people here."

"Tell us immediately when Lin Yuan comes out."

"Understood, Master Wei." Zhou Ying nodded, leaving a small team to wait there.

"Captain Wang, there are still many remnants of the Tidal Guild on the run outside. I'll go take care of business now."

"Go ahead. I have already dispatched Law Enforcement Team members from several surrounding cities to come and assist." Wang Qing waved his hand at Zhou Ying.

"The Demon Suppression Army will also cooperate with our operation."

"Be careful during the arrests."

Zhou Ying made an OK gesture,

and led his people away first... The following afternoon,

24 hours had passed since Lin Yuan entered the Deep Sea Cage Dungeon.

The high school Placement Exam hosted by the Southwest Province had already concluded.

Before the exam,

Lin Yuan never showed up,

which made Principal Chen extremely anxious.

Fortunately, Wei Ming announced that Lin Yuan had secured the Peerless ranking without needing to take the exam.

Principal Chen immediately felt that the gifts he had given Lin Yuan were not wasted.

He really got things done!

What excited Principal Chen the most was that,

following Lin Yuan's Peerless ranking,

the team that achieved first place was surprisingly the one including Sun Xu and Luo Qingqing.

The teams that took second and third place both came from the same school:

Shanhe City First High School.

Failing to get first place, Cui Chenggong, the Principal of Shanhe City First High School, was slightly disappointed.

But having worked in the education sector for many years,

he maintained his composure and congratulated Principal Chen with a smile.

"Principal Chen, congratulations! Your school has produced quite a few geniuses this year."

"I heard there's also a Hidden Dragon named Lin Yuan. Which one is he?"

Cui Chenggong's gaze swept over the students of First High School,

trying to find Lin Yuan's whereabouts.

"Principal Cui, you flatter me." Principal Chen was genuinely happy.

"I was just lucky."

"You mean Lin Yuan? He entered an escort-type Dungeon yesterday and hasn't come out yet."

Hearing that Lin Yuan wasn't present, Cui Chenggong said, "Oh."

"Since Lin Yuan isn't here, the Challenge Match later should be canceled."

"Principal Chen, I'll take my students and leave first."

"Until we meet again."

Principal Chen smiled and nodded, just about to say something,

when a rather disdainful voice suddenly came from behind Principal Cui.

"He entered a Dungeon yesterday and still hasn't come out? I think he's just famous in name only."

"Is he afraid of embarrassing himself in the Challenge Match, so he's making excuses not to show up?"

The speaker was a student from Tianhe City First High School, named Xiong Lin.

Xiong Lin's team,

was the team that achieved second place in this exam, and he was the team captain.

Next to Xiong Lin was a fair-skinned young man,

named Xue Danfeng, who was the captain of the team that achieved third place in this exam.

The two stood with folded arms, looking utterly unconvinced.

"Principal, we want to stay and participate in the Challenge Match."

Xiong Lin held his head high.

"I want to see why Lin Yuan deserves the Peerless ranking."

"Exactly! We're all students, so why does he get the title of Peerless without having to take the exam?"

The commotion attracted the attention of many people,

including Wang Qing.

Looking at Xiong Lin and Xue Danfeng, who were only Level 15,

Wang Qing shook his head repeatedly.

He thought: *Why? Because Lin Yuan soloed a 500-person Super-Large Dungeon at hell difficulty.*

*Because he is already Level 37, and you haven't even met the requirements for the First Job Change.*

Given Wang Qing's status, he wouldn't bother arguing with children.

But just because Wang Qing didn't speak didn't mean no one would stand up for Lin Yuan.

"You idiot, what are you barking about?" Sun Xu put his hands on his hips.

He began to spew flowery language.

"Who the hell do you two think you are, trying to gain attention here?"

After speaking, Sun Xu glanced sideways at the two.

"Trash like you two dares to brazenly challenge Brother Lin?"

"Aren't you afraid of being laughed out of your teeth?"

"Kid, watch your mouth." Anger flashed across Xiong Lin's face.

He rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach Sun Xu a lesson.

"Just a Healer—watch me tear your mouth apart."

"Heh heh." Sun Xu gave a scornful laugh and used his Talent ability to Possess Xiong Lin.

"Little brat, let me see what you've got."

"If you have the guts, hit me."

In the Possessed State, Sun Xu could not be targeted.

He was invincible.

But he could still talk,

constantly nagging in Xiong Lin's ear.

It was a different kind of demonic sound piercing the ear.

Unable to hit him, and unable to out-talk him,

Xiong Lin surrendered.

"I was wrong. Please, please leave my body."

Having a grown man constantly talking next to his ear,

it was pure torture!

"You gave up already?" Sun Xu looked disdainful.

His gaze turned toward Xue Danfeng.

Xue Danfeng's expression changed.

"Don't Possess me."

"If you have the ability, fight fair and square."

Luo Qingqing stepped forward, holding her sword.

"You want to fight? I'll see it through to the end."

Wang Qing watched from the side with a smile, finding it highly entertaining.

This was the taste of youth.

How nostalgic.

He hoped they could maintain their current demeanor even after witnessing Lin Yuan's true strength.

Speaking of which, Lin Yuan had been in the Dungeon for over a day.

Why hadn't he come out yet?

He didn't run into any trouble, did he?

Trouble?

Of course, no trouble could possibly occur.

Inside the Deep Sea Cage Dungeon,

Lin Yuan was resting his head on A'lan's lap, enjoying a beautiful afternoon nap.

Stretching, Lin Yuan sat up.

"Efara, what percentage has the deep sea orb's energy reached?"

"It's almost at three hundred percent," Efara replied.

"Three hundred percent is the limit of the deep sea orb; any more and there's a risk of explosion."

After a day and a night of diligent work by the Undead,

the deep sea orb was now extremely bright.

The energy contained within it was somewhat terrifying.

If this were to explode,

the resulting tsunami could probably submerge the entire Binhai City.

Of course, such a thing was absolutely impossible.

Lin Yuan took the deep sea orb,

and placed it on a Small Altar near the steam furnace.
