Regional underground cities appear

The Death Energy contained within the Cursed Life Box inside Mu Tianxing was immense.

A mere tenth of it filled forty percent of the white bone orb's energy.

Feeling that the white bone orb had reached saturation, Mu Tianxing released his hand.

"It's reduced by a tenth!"

"It really works!"

Mu Tianxing was overjoyed.

Looking closely, the wrinkles around Mu Tianxing's eyes had faded, and he looked seven or eight years younger.

Mu Tianxing glanced at Ghost, who was in a daze, took out his phone, and dialed a number belonging to Luo Yushang.

"Hello, drop what you're doing and come to Tianfeng City immediately."

"Tell Qin Liang to appoint you as the mayor of Tianfeng City."

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a second upon hearing this.

"Understood."

Hanging up the phone, Mu Tianxing said in a low voice,

"Having the vice president of the Peerless Guild act as a bodyguard for a kid like you is truly a first, like a young maiden getting on a bridal sedan for the first time."

Ghost remained motionless, so Mu Tianxing took a soundproofing item out of his backpack, placed it on the ground, and sat down nearby.

What was Ghost doing?

He was struggling with what skill to choose.

Lin Yuan had instructed him to choose a spell, one that was cool.

He naturally wanted to understand Lin Yuan's intent, and after racking his brain for a long time, Ghost finally settled on a spell.

【Bone Throne】(S)

Skill Description: Consumes 1000 Mana to condense Death Energy and create a Bone Throne, dealing 10000+200% Spell Power magic damage within a 5*5 area. Consuming Mana can maintain the Bone Throne's duration (100 Mana/1 second). For every 1 second the skill duration is increased, damage increases by 1% (up to a 500% cap). There is a 1-minute cooldown after the skill deals damage.

Perfect!

This skill was not only a spell but also extremely cool. It could stack damage when not in use, and most importantly, it could serve as a ride for his master.

In front of the Bone Throne, the Skeletal Giant Elephant was weak.

Imagining the surprised look on Lin Yuan's face when he saw the Bone Throne, Ghost laughed triumphantly, "Hehehehe!"

This laugh startled Mu Tianxing again.

Fortunately, I was wise enough to set up a soundproofing item in advance, otherwise, all the Professionals in the neighborhood would have been attracted here.

...

The next morning, Sun Xu knocked on the door to bring Lin Yuan breakfast. After eating, the two received a notice that they needed to go to school. On the way, Sun Xu held his phone and laughed non-stop,

"Brother Lin, have you checked the Professional Forum?"

"That profile photo of yours is going viral."

"The 'Strongest Summoner' title is well-deserved."

Lin Yuan leaned in to look. The comments on the forum had changed significantly compared to yesterday. Yesterday, over ninety percent were questioning and cursing him, but today that had decreased by nearly half. Quite a few people were supporting Lin Yuan, saying that since he could solo the Nightmare difficulty Skeleton Graveyard, he would definitely be able to successfully complete the first-turn quest.

Of course, there were also many who were pessimistic, believing that Lin Yuan was just lucky that his Summoned Beast had mutated and that he definitely wouldn't get far.

After scrolling through the forum for a while, Sun Xu opened the class group chat. "Brother Lin, the group says that the school will be hiring a high-level combat instructor to provide us with systematic guidance later."

"To guide us on positioning, skill execution, and teamwork capabilities."

"It's said that they will re-group everyone based on the characteristics of each Professionals."

"High-level combat instructor?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment. "Does that come with a service fee?"

"Of course, the appearance fee for a high-level combat instructor is not low," Sun Xu nodded.

Hearing that the service fee was not low, Lin Yuan immediately took out his phone and called the principal. "Principal Chen, it's me, Lin Yuan."

"I heard the school is looking for a high-level combat instructor to guide the students."

"I know I don't need guidance."

"I just wanted to recommend a candidate to Principal Chen."

"A master-level combat instructor. Out of respect for me, they can charge according to the high-level combat instructor standard."

"Alright, I'll bring the person over in a while."

Hanging up the phone, Sun Xu's expression was very excited. "Holy crap, Brother Lin, you actually know a master-level combat instructor."

"You're really hiding your true capabilities."

"I just met them," Lin Yuan chuckled. "You know this instructor too."

Sun Xu looked confused, unable to think of when he had met a master-level combat instructor.

"A Li, come out, it's time to work."

Lin Yuan snapped his fingers, and A Li, wearing silver-white chainmail, appeared before him. A Li stood straight, holding a violin, looking just like a musician who had stepped out of a painting.

"Master-level combat instructor, A Li."

Warriors of the Darkkin Clan are born for battle and possess innate, superb combat talents. Whether in terms of combat experience or combat techniques, they far exceed ordinary Professionals.

Coupled with the terrifying SSS-grade talent, Martial Arts Heavenly King, A Li's insight and experience definitely do not lose to a master-level combat instructor, and he could even go toe-to-toe with a grandmaster-level combat instructor.

"Brother Lin, you're not joking, are you?" Sun Xu laughed dryly. "If Brother Li guides us, one sword strike from him and our ten lives wouldn't be enough to die."

"It's fine, I'll have A Li control his strength," Lin Yuan waved his hand. "He definitely won't kill you."

"At most, you'll just get some broken bones or something."

When the two were about a kilometer away from the school, the sky suddenly darkened. A massive statue appeared out of thin air one hundred meters away from Lin Yuan. The statue looked like a zombie with bared fangs and brandished claws. After landing, the zombie's two eyes suddenly lit up, and a scarlet light enveloped the entire area within a five-kilometer radius.

"Cackle cackle!"

A hair-raising grinding of teeth sounded in their ears. Lin Yuan and Sun Xu simultaneously felt an inexplicable suction force and were pulled into a purple Teleportation Gate.

The moment the two were pulled into the Teleportation Gate, a red alarm sounded at the Tianfeng City Professionals Association.

【Alert! Alert! A regional Dungeon has appeared in the direction of the City No. 1 High School. Please proceed to handle it immediately.】

President Lin Yandong's expression changed, and he immediately led the elites of the Professionals Association to rush to the scene. At the same time, the Law Enforcement Team and the leadership of all major guilds in Tianfeng City were all stirred into action.

A regional Dungeon—if the monsters inside were allowed to break through the boundary, a lot of people would die.

By the time Lin Yandong arrived at the scene, Vice Mayor Shen Zhong had already used a barrier to surround the entire area around the regional Dungeon.

"President Lin, you've come just in time."

"The subjugation level of this Dungeon is level 10-20, with a limit of 25 people."

"Nightmare difficulty."

"Currently, two Professionals have already been pulled into it."

When mentioning the Nightmare difficulty, Shen Zhong's expression was grave. "There are 2 hours left before the Dungeon lifts its restrictions. Please immediately organize a pioneering Assault Team to enter. Spare no casualties."

If they could not clear the Dungeon before them within two hours, the Dungeon's Teleportation Gate would lift its restrictions, and the monsters within the Dungeon would be randomly teleported into the city. By then, who knew how many people would die at the hands of the monsters.
