Chapter 210: Old Classmates, Carrying Through a Task
Creation World Academy and Phoenix Emperor Academy had failed.
Even though they had cleared the dungeon and were ranked on the board,
For top academies like them, it was considered a failure.
A complete and utter failure.
The way they left was vividly described by onlookers, and would likely spread throughout Summer Capital University soon.
"Haha, look at them. The people from top academies are nothing special after all."
"The more arrogant they were coming in, the more dejected they look leaving."
In front of the Dungeon Hall, everyone was discussing this.
It was as if Lin Moyu’s victory was their own victory.
At this moment, students from independent academies and ordinary students were united.
Lin Moyu’s reputation grew even greater.
However, he was addicted to speed running in the dungeon and had no idea what was happening outside.
Each time he finished a run and came out, he stayed outside for less than a second.
He didn’t even check Creation World and Phoenix Emperor’s results.
There was no need.
Lin Moyu was certain no one could break his record in this dungeon.
Even he himself would find it difficult to break his own record.
After five consecutive runs, another Fire Crystal was fused.
Lin Moyu didn’t rest. He was in high spirits, enjoying the runs.
With the special privileges Ning Tairan had opened, he didn’t need to worry about points at all.
It only cost 100 points to enter and 500 points to reset.
A drop in the bucket.
The speed runs were very efficient, experience rising rapidly.
When the second Fire Crystal was fused, his experience had reached 93%.
Basically each run gave about 10% experience.
One more run and he could reach level 29.
"Keep it up!"
Lin Moyu was a bit excited, even wanting to run straight to level 30.
"How many times is he going to run?"
"Don’t know. I’ve been counting, he’s run at least 8 times."
"More than that. I counted too. Including the first two times, it’s been 10 runs."
"Is he made of iron? Running the same dungeon 10 times in a row, I’d be sick of it."
"It depends on the gains. This is Hell difficulty, the experience is super high. If I could get such high rewards, I’d be happy to run it 100 or 1000 times!"
Solo runs meant all experience and materials went to one person.
And the efficiency was so high.
Amid the discussions, Lin Moyu came out of the dungeon again.
He had now reached level 29.
Less than a day to go from 28 to 29.
For others, it would normally take a month to level up once.
Lin Moyu did it in just one day.
From level 29, the experience needed increased again.
It would take about 13-14 runs to reach level 30.
Lin Moyu ran four more times, fusing the third Fire Crystal.
Before leveling up he used all his spirit power to summon 3 skeleton warriors.
Due to repeated dungeon runs, his spirit power was never full.
At the time before leveling up, he only had enough spirit power to summon 3 skeleton warriors.
After fusing the third Fire Crystal, he summoned 7 more skeleton warriors.
He expanded the skeleton warrior count to 190, filling all slots in his summoning space.
With spirit power completely depleted, he finally felt fatigue.
His body sent warnings. He knew he had to rest, after all he wasn’t a warrior and didn’t have such strong recovery ability.
His mind could still continue, but his body couldn’t take it anymore.
He found a place outside the Dungeon Hall to sit and rest.
His body was very tired, but his mind was still excited.
There was no help for it, speed running was too exhilarating.
Lin Moyu was a bit addicted to this feeling.
But he knew this feeling wasn’t right, that he shouldn’t be like this.
As a career holder, especially a mage-type, he had to keep himself calm at all times.
No matter what happened, staying unperturbed was the key to making the most correct decisions and exerting the strongest combat power.
Listening to the discussions in the distance, Lin Moyu listened carefully.
They were all talking about Creation World Academy and Phoenix Emperor Academy.
The people here were either from independent academies or ordinary students.
They felt both envy and jealousy towards the geniuses from top academies.
It was a very complex emotion.
Seeing them suffer setbacks, for some reason, everyone seemed a bit gleeful.
His mind gradually calmed. Lin Moyu worked hard to pull himself out of the addicted state.
Finally he entered a meditative state.
His spirit power began to recover rapidly.
He didn’t know how long passed until someone came up to him.
"Lin Moyu."
A clear voice sounded.
Lin Moyu opened his eyes, revealing a slight smile.
"It’s you guys."
Xia Xue, Feng Xiu, and Zuo Mei stood before him.
Xia Xue teased, "Congratulations, Champion Lin!"
"Congratulations, Lin Moyu."
"Congratulations!"
Feng Xiu and Zuo Mei also congratulated Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu stood up. "How did you do in the Career Holder Tournament?"
He hadn’t seen them at the tournament.
Xia Xue sighed. "Don’t mention it. We didn’t even pass the preliminaries, came straight back."
Seeing their unhappy expressions, Lin Moyu didn’t ask further.
Feng Xiu said, "It’s not a big deal really. We just entered the university, our levels and equipment can’t compare to others. Not passing the preliminaries is normal."
Xia Xue added, "So we just came back early to run dungeons and level up."
Zuo Mei said, "We’re level 20 now."
Reaching level 20 in a few days showed they had been working hard.
They must have run quite a few dungeons in these days.
Leveling up wasn’t slow before level 20.
As long as you could find suitable dungeons, gaining a level a day was normal.
Especially in the Dungeon Hall, as long as you were willing to spend points, you could reset dungeons infinitely, ignoring cooldowns.
If you didn’t mind the fatigue, leveling up was fast.
Lin Moyu said, "You’ve all received dungeon tasks, right?"
"We have!" Xia Xue waved her communication device.
Every newly enrolled student would receive dungeon tasks from the university.
From level 20 to 30, there were ten dungeons that needed to be cleared.
The university didn’t restrict difficulty. As long as you could clear the dungeon, even on Normal difficulty, it was fine.
Among these ten dungeon tasks, the only troublesome one was the [Tyrant Desert] large-scale dungeon.
The dungeon itself wasn’t very difficult, but gathering 40 people was extremely hard.
Many people got stuck at this step.
It was also a test from the university for the students.
Lin Moyu said, "I’ll take you through the [Tyrant Desert] dungeon."
He had promised earlier to take them through [Tyrant Desert] when they reached level 20.
Originally Lin Moyu planned to contact them after he reached level 30.
[Tyrant Desert] was a level 25 dungeon, allowing entry 5 levels above or below.
Level 30 was the limit. Once you reached 31, you couldn’t enter anymore.
Now they happened to meet, and they were just level 20.
Lin Moyu had mentioned this to them before, but only in passing, not paying much attention.
Xia Xue said in surprise, "But that’s a large-scale dungeon, requiring 40 people. We can’t find that many people!"
They were all new students with limited acquaintances, and their levels were still too low.
Lin Moyu shook his head. "No need to find others. I’ll take you."
All three showed shocked expressions. They knew Lin Moyu wasn’t joking; he really could do it.
Feng Xiu still couldn’t believe it. "You can solo a large-scale dungeon?"
Lin Moyu nodded frankly, admitting it.
In their shock, Lin Moyu led them into the Dungeon Hall to the [Tyrant Desert] entrance.
They saw Lin Moyu’s far-leading solo record on the light screen.
Time: 6 hours 11 minutes 33 seconds
The three were speechless.
Not only did he solo it, he got first place.
Earlier when they ran the Mutant Forest dungeon with others, Lin Moyu was ranked first.
Also solo.
But how could small dungeons compare to large-scale dungeons?
How could dungeons below level 20 compare to a level 25 dungeon?
Everyone knew that higher level dungeons were harder to solo.
It didn’t seem real.
Lin Moyu ignored their mental changes and directly formed a team with them.
With him as leader, the four entered the [Tyrant Desert] dungeon together.
Yellow sand filled the sky, a gust of wind kicking up flying sand.
A blazing sun hung overhead.
The temperature was rising rapidly.
"So this is the [Tyrant Desert] dungeon. It really is a desert, so hot!"
"Endless as far as the eye can see. Looks huge, easy to get lost here."
"Which direction should we go?"
The three were entering this dungeon for the first time, all looking like curious babies.
Used to the scorching heat of [Fire God Palace], the [Tyrant Desert] temperature felt pleasant and comfortable.
190 skeleton warriors densely appeared before them, like an army running forward.
"There are monsters in the desert. Follow me!"
