Nightmare Conqueror
"Teacher, I know you are anxious, but please calm down first."
"He only went in forty minutes ago, he can't possibly come out that quickly."
"Besides, the Nightmare difficulty Skeleton Graveyard has eight waves of attacks in total; at this rate, he probably hasn't even seen the boss yet."
As the two were talking, a man wearing dark green mage robes walked over with hurried steps.
"Master Cheng! It really is you, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else. I am Chen Ming, the vice president of the Dawn Sword guild; we met last year at the entrance of Jingdu University."
Cheng Feng turned his head, saw the man's face, and replied indifferently, "Hmm."
Cheng Feng was cold because he was powerful. With his strength, apart from the big shots of those top-tier guilds, he didn't need to care about anyone's opinion.
"Master Cheng, what brings you here? If you need anything from our Dawn Sword guild, just let us know. We will definitely go all out."
Cheng Feng was unwilling to engage, so Tian Ye replied from the side, "The teacher is here this time to look for good prodigies to recommend for direct admission to Jingdu University."
As soon as the word 'recommendation' was mentioned, Chen Ming's eyes lit up instantly. Not just him, but the five young people standing behind him also had their eyes light up.
These five were the raid team that had just entered the Nightmare difficulty Skeleton Graveyard.
The Dawn Sword guild had paid a great price and managed with difficulty to gather five S-rank talent holders, wanting to forge them into an elite team capable of raiding Nightmare difficulty Dungeons.
If they could join the Demon Suppression Army in the future and become a raid team for the Demon Suppression Army, then the Dawn Sword guild would truly take off.
"Direct admission to Jingdu University? Master Cheng, you've come to the right place." Chen Ming's eyes darted around, and he immediately stepped aside, yielding half a position.
"These five are our Dawn Sword's rising stars this year. Every one of them has S-rank talent, their collaborative ability is very strong, and they have a very keen instinct for combat."
"The captain, Xiao Bin, has an S-rank assault talent, possesses 1A2B4C skills, and is decked out in gold equipment. The team members..."
Hearing the vice president introduce him, Xiao Bin held his head high and puffed out his chest. Just now, inside the Nightmare difficulty Skeleton Graveyard, the Shield Warrior had made some mistakes, and Xiao Bin had relied on his own strength to forcibly hold off the Bone Giant for 10 seconds.
Afterward, under his precise command, the team killed the Bone Giant in just 7 minutes. It was a pity that his teammates couldn't keep up with his rhythm; otherwise, they could definitely have attempted to challenge Skeleton Knight Mosa.
S-rank talent did not surprise Cheng Feng, because Cheng Feng had seen too many S-rank talent Professionals. S-rank talent was just the minimum threshold to enter Jingdu University. To stand out, combat skills, luck, and good teammates were all indispensable.
"Master Cheng, their team also achieved the first clear of the 10-level Dungeon Goblin Forest on Nightmare difficulty a while ago. Just now, the group entered the Nightmare difficulty Skeleton Graveyard and killed the fifth-wave boss, the Bone Giant."
Chen Ming was very enthusiastic in introducing the guild's rising stars, hoping to impress Cheng Feng and secure the recommendation spots. Even within Jingdu University, not just anyone could obtain a recommendation spot.
Although Cheng Feng was a professor, he enjoyed treatment at the dean level and held a recommendation quota for a team of five people. If they could get all five of these spots, the Dawn Sword guild could save a lot of resources to cultivate another elite team, killing two birds with one stone.
Tian Ye nodded from the side, "First clear of Goblin Forest on Nightmare difficulty, not bad performance. Your Dawn Sword is ahead of other guilds by quite a bit this year. I haven't heard of any other guilds clearing a Nightmare difficulty Dungeon."
Chen Ming chuckled, "Captain Tian, you flatter us. For the past two years, Dawn Sword's ranking has always been at the bottom in Tianfeng City, so this year the president decided to increase support for rising stars."
"Ten million." Chen Ming held up a finger, "Ten million in support funds per person. We intend to forge them into an elite raid team."
"The five of them also lived up to expectations, clearing the Nightmare difficulty Goblin Forest, which brought a lot of face to our guild."
"Ten million." Tian Ye nodded, "That is indeed a huge investment." Ten million could buy a level 20 platinum weapon or a niche S-rank Skill. To invest that much into rising stars without fear of it going to waste—it had to be said, the Dawn Sword president had a lot of guts.
"Master Cheng, do these rising stars of my guild catch your eye?" Chen Ming looked at Cheng Feng expectantly, hoping to hear a 'yes' from Cheng Feng's mouth.
But Cheng Feng only glanced at them casually, "Not bad."
A simple 'not bad' caused disappointment to appear on Chen Ming's face. Well, he didn't like them. Xiao Bin was standing there with his head held high like a proud rooster, expecting praise from others. But that 'not bad' slapped him back to reality.
An unconvinced expression appeared on his face. Although he didn't speak, the meaning was obvious. He felt that Cheng Feng was looking down on them. Heh, S-rank talent, full set of gold equipment, 1A2B4C in the skill bar, 7 output skills. And yet, he only got a 'not bad' evaluation. Ridiculous!
Xiao Bin crossed his arms and stood where he was. His gaze turned to the Dungeon entrance. I want to see who in this Skeleton Graveyard place could be better than me today. Just those ragtag bunch? A joke!

Silence, a silence where you could hear a pin drop. You couldn't even hear breathing. Within a kilometer of the Skeleton Graveyard, over two thousand Professionals heard the area-wide voice broadcast.
Lin Yuan's team, only one person's name. What did this represent? The Nightmare difficulty Skeleton Graveyard had been solo-cleared by one person! Solo-cleared!!!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
"What did I just hear? Someone solo-cleared the Nightmare difficulty Skeleton Graveyard."
"Who is this big shot named Lin Yuan? He's too freaking overpowered."
The older brother Knight who had been in line ahead of Lin Yuan shouted excitedly.
"He is that mysterious person who had the Nightmare difficulty Sword Pass just now."
