I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan's gaze settled on a dungeon called "Black Iron Dwarf Mine".

Dungeon Name: Dark Iron Dwarf Mines

[Type: Standalone Copy]

[Level: lv25-lv30]

[Monster Types: Dark Iron Dwarf Miner, Berserker Overseer, Mechanical Golem]

【Features: Monsters are densely packed, have a fast attack speed, deal extremely high physical damage, and possess the "armor penetration" attribute.】

"This is it!"

Lin Yuan pointed at the light screen and said without hesitation.

Xiao Li glanced at it, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly tried to dissuade him:

"A black iron mine? Junior, are you sure?"

"This dungeon is notorious for its melee-focused brutality!"

"The Dark Iron Dwarves inside are short in stature, but incredibly strong, and their pickaxes have a chance to inflict [Stun] and [Armor Shatter]!"

"Once surrounded, they could be held captive until death, without even a chance to take their medicine!"

Xiao Li pointed to the difficulty options below: "Furthermore, the independent dungeons are divided into three levels: Normal, Hard, and Hell."

Which one do you want to choose? The ordinary one?

Xiao Li selected the Normal difficulty level, which showed that 500 points were required.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan pointed his finger directly at the Hell level.

[Instance: Dark Iron Dwarf Mines]

[Difficulty: Hell]

Recommended level: lv30 (Recommended for a full 5-person elite team)

Only 2000 points?

This is still quite cheap for Lin Yuan right now.

After all, he currently has a huge sum of nearly 20 points on him.

"This is it."

Lin Yuan stretched out his finger and, without hesitation, pressed the confirmation button under Xiao Li's horrified gaze.

"Wait! Junior!"

Xiao Li's expression changed drastically, and he tried to reach out to stop him, but it was too late.

"drop!"

A crisp system notification sounded, and points were deducted.

Looking at the blood-red skull logo on the screen, Xiao Li felt that his career was about to be impacted.

She took a deep breath, quickly went around the counter, and grabbed Lin Yuan, who was about to head to the teleportation area.

"Junior! Are you crazy?!"

"This is the Dark Iron Dwarf Mine! And it's hell-level!"

"Don't even mention a freshman like you from the class of 23; even many second-year heavy armor warriors wouldn't dare to easily attempt Hell difficulty!"

"That can kill people!!"

The students who were originally handling their business nearby turned to look at the commotion with curiosity.

"What's going on? Is someone trying to commit suicide?"

"Looks like a freshman, he chose a hellish black iron mine."

"Holy crap? That's incredible!"

Faced with Xiao Li's anxious dissuasion and the strange looks from those around him.

Lin Yuan's expression remained calm and indifferent.

He gently pulled his hand away from Xiao Li's, straightened his sleeves, and gave a polite smile: "Thank you for your concern, senior. However, I didn't make a mistake. I just wanted to choose the Hell level."

"The normal-level monsters are too weak; they can't even hit me a few times."

Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

mad!

That's insane!

A freshman actually complains that the level 25 dungeon monsters are too weak?

Xiao Li stood there, stunned, speechless as he looked at Lin Yuan's confident eyes.

She wanted to offer a few more words of advice:

"But even if you want to tackle Hell difficulty, you still need to team up first!"

"There are many strong second-year students leading teams in the dungeon lobby, even if it costs money."

"If you go alone, you won't even have a wet nurse. Once you're controlled, you won't even have a chance to take your medicine!"

"Team up?"

"Who said I was going to form a team?"

He turned around, his gaze fixed on the portal radiating red light, and said calmly, "I'm alone."

Welcome to Cola Novels! A vast collection of novels awaits your exploration!

"Solo play".

These two words were like a bombshell dropped into a calm lake.

The entire service area of ​​the dungeon lobby instantly erupted in chaos!

"What?! Solo?!"

"Did I hear that right? This kid's going to solo a hellish mine?!"

"Is he a shield warrior? Has he lost his mind?"

"A tank soloing? Does he even have any damage output? Is he planning to exhaust the monsters to death?"

"Hahaha! That's hilarious! Are young people these days willing to risk their lives just to show off?"

"He's probably a young master from some big family who hasn't been through the harsh realities of life."

Mockery, discussion, and doubt rose and fell.

There are many arrogant people in the War Academy.

But those who are so arrogant that they lose their minds usually don't survive the first instance.

In everyone's eyes, Lin Yuan's behavior at this moment was a typical case of "foolish rich people rushing to their doom."

Just then, a tall girl in the crowd, wearing tight leather armor and carrying a dark green longbow, frowned slightly.

Unlike the others who whispered amongst themselves, she crossed her arms and scrutinized Lin Yuan with a critical gaze.

Name: Tang Yu

[Level: lv30]

【Class: Windranger (Rare)】

As a core student who ranked among the top in the sophomore elite list, he was also one of the team members of the "Azure Island" operation.

Tang Yu's eye for detail was far sharper than that of ordinary students; she could tell that Lin Yuan's equipment was extraordinary.

"This kid has some connections."

Tang Yu thought to himself.

Even so, she didn't think Lin Yuan could succeed in soloing the task.

The grotesqueness of the Black Iron Mine doesn't lie in the high attack power of the monsters.

It lies in that despairing control and armor-piercing power.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yu still strode forward.

The crowd automatically parted to make way.

Unlike the others who resorted to sarcasm, she stated a fact in a cool and collected tone:

"This junior student."

"I don't know where your confidence comes from."

"But I must remind you of something."

"The Hell difficulty level of the Dark Iron Dwarf Mines has monsters with the passive skill 'Armor Break'."

Even if you're a defensive shield warrior, you're in danger if you're surrounded for more than ten seconds!

Tang Yu looked into Lin Yuan's eyes and said earnestly:

"Even if some of our sophomores teamed up, we wouldn't dare say we could clear the Hell difficulty of this dungeon."

"You're just a freshman, it's too much of a stretch."

"Take my advice, go back and switch to a normal dungeon, or find a team."

"2000 points is not a small amount; there's no need to waste them."

Tang Yu's words were very pertinent and respectful.

The people around nodded in agreement.

"Senior Tang is so kind-hearted."

"Yeah, kid, listen to advice and you'll eat your fill. Come down here, it's not shameful."

Lin Yuan smiled and was not angry at the other party's questioning.

On the contrary, he admired this kind of rational person.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior."

Lin Yuan nodded politely, but did not move an inch.

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a confident smile: "For me, that's perfect. The thing I'm least afraid of is being weakened."

"I'm confident!"

After saying that, Lin Yuan bypassed Tang Yu and walked straight towards the teleportation portal.

Tang Yu was taken aback.

Looking at Lin Yuan's resolute back, a strange sense of absurdity welled up in her heart.

Is this kid genuinely stupid or just pretending?

Am I confident?

Are you absolutely certain?
