Chapter 82: That Look, He Really Has Killed People
Being stared at by so many people, Ling Zhen clearly felt uncomfortable.
"Why do you say that, classmate?" someone asked.
Setting records wasn’t something that could be done easily.
Especially soloing a dungeon to set a record.
That was even more difficult.
Why say Lin Moyu was just lucky?
Ling Zhen said disdainfully, "He’s just an ordinary student who just finished the big exam. He’s relying on some connection with the White God to get some powerful treasure."
"Otherwise how could one person solo a Nightmare dungeon?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone angrily retorted, "What’s wrong with being an ordinary student? Ordinary students can’t set records?"
"That’s right, you say Lin Moyu relied on treasures from the White God to set records? Do you have any evidence?"
"I recognize you, you’re Ling Zhen from Hidden Dragon Academy. No wonder you look down on us ordinary students. Hidden Dragon Academy isn’t all that. You just started earlier, who knows who’ll be stronger in the future."
Ling Zhen’s words immediately caused chaos.
Originally there was some tension between ordinary students and academy students, but it wasn’t out in the open.
No one had broken that thin veneer.
But Ling Zhen just went and said it.
One stone caused a thousand ripples. The ordinary students there immediately exploded.
As ordinary students who gained approval from Academic Affairs to enter the Dungeon Hall,
They could be said to all be outstanding people.
Most had excellent results in the big exam and strong careers themselves.
Even if they started behind the internally cultivated academy students, over time that gap would gradually narrow and even be surpassed.
So in the eyes of many excellent ordinary students, the academy’s cultivated students weren’t all that great.
The academy students naturally stood on their own side, feeling Ling Zhen was mostly correct.
The two sides immediately started arguing heatedly.
Mocking each other back and forth, almost coming to blows.
A flash of light, and Lin Moyu appeared in front of the dungeon.
Hearing the fierce arguments, he was confused, not knowing what had happened.
Suddenly someone pulled Lin Moyu, "Classmate Lin Moyu, did you just finish this year’s big exam?"
Lin Moyu instinctively nodded.
"What was your result?"
Lin Moyu answered honestly, "National top scholar."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The national top scholar.
Especially the academy students were stunned.
Though they looked down on ordinary students, the national top scholar was different.
Even if they started behind, after a few years most national top scholars could catch up and even surpass them.
No national top scholar was simple.
Their careers were definitely strong, and their skills definitely not lacking.
They just hadn’t received as many resources and started later.
Ling Zhen said coldly, "What’s so great about being national top scholar? Can you compare to us? If we took the big exam, getting national top scholar would be easy."
Someone retorted, "That’s not how it works. If you grew up outside and only transitioned a week before the big exam, it’s hard to say if you could get national top scholar."
Many people agreed with this.
Even the academy students had to agree.
That was just the reality.
Lin Moyu finally understood what was going on.
It was Ling Zhen causing trouble again.
Lin Moyu looked up at Ling Zhen, his gaze carrying a hint of killing intent, "I told you, if you provoke me again, I’ll kill you."
Ling Zhen was startled by Lin Moyu’s look, "You think I’m afraid of you? Who do you think you are?"
Lin Moyu gave him a deep look, full of warning.
If this was in the wild, Lin Moyu would have already acted.
Someone noticed Lin Moyu’s look and shuddered.
Lin Moyu ignored him and turned to enter the Spider’s Nest dungeon again.
At this point someone patted their chest, "Wow, that look, he really has killed people."
"And not just one or two."
"Don’t say such scary things. He’s just a new student who finished the big exam, how could he have killed people?"
"You think the outside world is so simple? You’ve just grown up under the university’s protection. The outside world is dangerous."
"I’m sure he’s killed people, and not a few. The way he looks at people is like looking at dungeon monsters. He doesn’t see you as human at all."
"Right right, that kind of look, very scary."
Ling Zhen was also somewhat afraid now.
He felt Lin Moyu’s gaze most deeply.
In Lin Moyu’s eyes, he really didn’t seem to be seen as human, but as a monster that could be killed at any time.
Thinking of Lin Moyu’s terrifyingly strong skeletons, he was truly scared.
His legs were shaking.
Though scared, he couldn’t lose face.
Ling Zhen forced himself to say, "Hmph, don’t let me encounter you in the wild, or I’ll definitely kill you."
After saying that, Ling Zhen used a teleportation stone to leave.
After he left, the Dungeon Hall burst into laughter.
"Haha, this guy is scared."
"You can hear it, his last words were all bluster."
"Such a coward, so useless."
"Is this what the university’s internally cultivated students are like? So-called geniuses, how embarrassing."
The academy faction also felt embarrassed and didn’t retort.
But in their hearts they hated Ling Zhen.
It was this guy who made them lose face.
They blacklisted Ling Zhen, resolving to never team up with him for dungeons again.
Just as they were leaving the Dungeon Hall to recruit new team members, the bells rang again.
"What the hell!"
"Another new record?"
"No need to guess, must be Lin Moyu. He did the same with Mutant Forest yesterday."
"Right, I was there yesterday too. First time he set a new record, second time he broke his own record."
"I’ve never heard of any treasure or item that lets someone solo Nightmare dungeons, let alone set such terrifying records."
People who had just left the Dungeon Hall rushed back.
When they saw the score on the light screen, their eyes bulged bigger than their mouths.
[Lin Moyu, Level 19, Necromancer, 22 minutes 51 seconds]
This record was beyond astonishing, it was terrifying.
Everyone felt a chill run through their bodies.
Soloing a Nightmare dungeon in just 22 minutes 51 seconds.
No one could imagine how he did it.
But he had done it.
The fact was right there before their eyes.
"Could something be wrong with the Dungeon Hall?"
"What nonsense are you talking? Even if your brain has problems, the Dungeon Hall won’t."
"Do you know how many years the Dungeon Hall has existed? It’s never had problems."
"Then how did he do it?"
"Why don’t you go ask him?"
"I won’t go, his look is too scary."
At this moment, Lin Moyu appeared outside the dungeon.
The next second he entered the dungeon again.
Inside the dungeon, Lin Moyu looked at his experience.
Level: 19 (74%)
He was 26% away from leveling up.
To speed run just now, he hadn’t killed many small spiders along the way, so he gained little experience.
"I can level up after this run."
Setting another new record had given him another 1000 points and 5 contribution points as reward.
Rumbling sounds echoed non-stop through Spider’s Nest.
Lin Moyu strode forward with his skeleton warriors.
By the time he reached the boss door, Lin Moyu was glowing white.
He had leveled up.
Finally reached level 20.
Lin Moyu let out a long breath.
Probably few in the world could level up as fast as him.
After all, he could solo Nightmare dungeons with astonishing efficiency.
But thinking of needing level 30 to join Creation God Academy, he felt he still had far to go.
After level 20, leveling speed would definitely slow down again.
He didn’t know by how much, that would only be clear after trying.
Based on his experience at level 10, skills might change after leveling up.
Especially his talent and Summon Skeleton Warrior skills.
He didn’t know if there would be any changes.
Lin Moyu was very eager to find out.
He checked his attributes.

Though he had some expectations, Lin Moyu was still shocked by his changes.
