The sweat is mine, but the numbers are all theirs.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Yuan immediately set off for the dungeon, as the academy exam was drawing near and he needed to level up as quickly as possible.

Level 38 seems high, but there are many levels higher than that.

Last year, some trainees reached level 50 or higher before the university entrance exam, which was incredibly absurd.

He might be able to suppress top geniuses like Yuan Yumenmian, who are two levels above him, but what about against a monster?

Without a doubt, there is no chance of winning.

After all, even the strongest life force needs time, growth, and effort.

How can you sweat if you don't work hard? How can you improve your stats without sweating?

With this in mind, Lu Yuan felt that he also needed to improve his attributes, especially strength and agility, which were of utmost importance.

This will undoubtedly allow him to advance faster and evolve more quickly.

Walking on the wide stone-paved road, Lu Yuan learned through occasional conversations that the two soldiers were named Jiang Yun and Jiang Hai.

Both are rare level 57 combat classes, even stronger than Li Qun!

Originally, after taking Lu Yuan with me yesterday, I was also supposed to go outside the city to carry out a cleanup mission, but I was ordered to return by the commander of the defense corps.

Jiang Yun and Jiang Hai immediately understood that this meant they needed to take care of Lu Yuan at the municipal government.

This is one of the reasons why they are willing to wait an afternoon.

"Is Lu Yuan going to enter that level 48 dungeon?"

"Um."

"There's a 10-level difference, wouldn't that be a bit... difficult?" Jiang Yun said tactfully, "How about we go in with you?"

Don't worry, the blame is all yours. We'll only help when you need it.

This was practically acting as a babysitter, but Lu Yuan still shook his head, "No need."

Although the two were puzzled, they were not annoyed and continued to follow on either side.

The entire instance area is extremely large, riddled with cracks. While the number of cracks may not be as great as in the southern suburbs, they are still much larger, and all the characters are level 40 or higher.

This made Lu Yuan sigh inwardly, truly befitting a city's capital. However, just as he was about to enter, he activated the traction stone after reaching the designated area.

A middle-aged man exuding a heavy, imposing aura and with a cold expression walked over. "You... are you Lu Yuan?"

The Jiang brothers immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Inspector Liu."

Lu Yuan simply nodded in agreement.

"I'll give you the entire instance; that's quite a generous offer, and you certainly have a big appetite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Inspector Liu's aura surged forth, seemingly capable of crushing a person's spine!

The water spirit frowned slightly, and water power appeared around Lu Yuan, protecting him.

Jiang Yun and the others immediately stepped forward, unleashing their own power, but they did not make a move, and kept their heads down.

"Inspector Liu, please don't make things difficult for me."

"Hmph, in a difficult position?" Inspector Liu said coldly, "Does he not know, and neither do you?"

These dungeons were fought for by countless warriors with their lives from the rifts between worlds. Why should he, alone, get to enjoy them all?

Can he bear it?

"This..." The two were unable to answer. As warriors themselves, they naturally knew that every instance was stained with blood.

However, they had no answer in their hearts, nor did they make them back down; the soldiers simply obeyed orders.

At this moment, several figures emerged from behind Inspector Liu, all dressed in excellent equipment.

This level 48 dungeon was originally meant for them.

The leading youth had a relatively friendly expression. "Lu Yuan, you're only level 38. You can't handle this challenge. Why don't you just give it to us? We can give you some compensation, how about it?"

Jiang Yun gritted his teeth: "Lu Yuan isn't just any ordinary student from Class 38; he's the top student in the provincial exchange competition, capable of surpassing higher levels..."

"Do you need to tell me?" The arrogant boy behind the boy scoffed. "Do you really think a provincial exchange competition can prove anything? You're just a frog in a well."

"you!"

Seeing the anger in Jiang Yun's eyes, he was not afraid at all, but instead pointed at the boy protected by the power of water.

"Let me tell you, Lu Yuan, you're just a nobody right now. Any potential you have is for the future. Don't be ungrateful!"

Lu Yuan ignored him and continued walking towards the dungeon area.

With the power of water present, even a high-level aura could not hinder him in the slightest.

"Your ears..." The arrogant boy was about to reach out to stop him when he felt a terrifying gaze descend upon him, making his heart skip a beat.

What happened?

Inspector Liu also frowned, "Don't think that just because you've gained the governor's favor, you can act without restraint."

It's uncertain whether she'll be able to come back this time. If she does, can you bear the wrath of an inspector?

Think carefully before you go; what lies ahead could be an abyss.

Without even pausing, Lu Yuan sensed that the traction stone was usable and, with a thought, left only two words.

"I want to laugh."

I won't fall for it.

The boy frowned, feeling troubled. The arrogant boy's arrogance vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression, making him a completely different person from before.

As long as Lu Yuan acts arrogantly and takes action, the inspectors will have a reason to take him down, following official procedures, and no one can say anything.

We won't have to worry about him not spitting out the dungeon's traction stone then.

As for directly robbing them? Even if the Prefect of Tianyun Prefecture were no longer here, they wouldn't dare.

We'll just have to wait for another opportunity.

They all looked at Jiang Yun.

……

As soon as his feet touched solid ground again and his vision returned, Lu Yuan saw several level 44 monsters rushing towards him.

They were black wolves, each over two meters tall, ferocious and terrifying.

However, before their claws could fall, they were pierced and killed by the dark purple spider woman's arm that had been torn from the cocoon.

[You have killed the Dark Wolf, with a level difference of 6 levels. You have gained a 60% experience bonus.]

You have gained 798 experience points.

Ignoring the two prompts, Lu Yuan said, "Xingzhu, you can enter the shadows faster, so go alone and try to find the BOSS to kill."

"I...I want to go with the Summoner." The Dark Purple Spider Woman was unusually defiant. "Besides, this elf can't sit down; the Summoner will get tired with her."

"Although I can't sit, I won't let the person who calls me get tired, so don't worry."

With a thought, tide Yue instantly transformed the surroundings into her watery domain. Then, she grasped Lu Yuan, and with a light leap, she soared into the sky like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

Lu Yuan felt as if he had lost his weight, and was immediately surprised, "Your Water Void Domain can actually affect me?"

"Yes, Summoner." tide Yue smiled gently, then pulled Lu Yuan up and flew away into the distance, feeling incredibly carefree.

The dark purple spider woman's gaze was deep and unfathomable, and after a long while, she vanished into the shadows.

Subsequently, the forest seemed to fall into some terrifying rule: whenever the shadows moved, death would come instantly.

And his death was extremely gruesome; he wasn't directly pierced, but rather his head was smashed into a pulp by a heavy blow!

That's how they should have killed Sevier before!

She is dead, so there will be no more water spirits, and the summoner will belong only to her!

As the tyrannical dark purple spider woman was thinking this, suddenly, "Awooo!"

A roar came from the side, followed by trees collapsing wildly, and a huge black-purple demon wolf, over five meters in size, charged out.

A level 47 mid-tier BOSS, with formidable power.

Seeing the wolf carcasses scattered everywhere, it let out an even angrier roar, about to bite the dark purple spider woman in half.
