"Huh? They want us to run a trial dungeon? Really?"

"I can't even beat a level 25 dungeon, let alone a level 35 dungeon, especially a Hell difficulty one. Isn't that just suicide?"

"I don't mind joining in the fun, but I'm just a support-type blacksmith, can you take me in?"

An Bai keenly heard a student from a certain support department, immediately pointed at him, and waved.

"Come on, take it."

"If blacksmiths can join, then I, an alchemist, should have no problem, right?"

"Come!"

"I'm a runemaster, so I don't run dungeons every day. Even if I fail and there's a three-day cooldown, it won't affect me."

"Come!"

"My fortune teller thinks you have a bright future; please mentor me!"

"Come!"

"I'm a spirit plant master. If you help me clear this level, I'll give you a spirit fruit I personally cultivated!"

"Come!"

"..."

Among the current students, there are quite a few students in their twenties.

Even though the previous batch of students had been training for over a year, only about 50-60% of them were above level 30.

In addition, some non-combat students, whose focus is not on leveling up but on research, are basically still stuck in the twenties.

The requirement of forty people was not small, but it was still quickly met.

Although the overall fighting strength of the team....

Well, it's practically nothing.

Most of them were just passing by, or they saw it while browsing the forum and came over to join in the fun.

After all, An Bai had already said that they didn't need to take any action; they could just watch from the sidelines.

Most of the people who joined were just there for the fun of it and didn't really expect to beat the game.

Therefore, apart from An Bai and Liu Qi, most of the people are non-combat support classes, so even if they fail and cannot run dungeons for three days, it will not affect them.

Only three of them were combatants, and they were all above level 30. I don't know what their mentality was in joining them.

Apart from that, the other combat students had no intention of gambling their three-day dungeon run opportunity; they were just watching for fun.

Looking at this team that could be described as "weaklings," the two hundred or so people from Wan Chongshan's side were laughing so hard their faces ached.

They had never seen a team with this configuration clear a large-scale dungeon.

Forget about the Hellfire level, even the Normal level would be in trouble!

However, An Bai didn't care.

As long as we have enough people, that's enough.

"Brother Liu, let's start the dungeon."

"Um...are you sure?" Liu Qi pursed his lips. He felt that An Bai was acting impulsively, making an irrational move after being provoked.

He wanted to offer some advice.

Instead, Wan Chongshan chuckled sarcastically, "Go on, Liu Qi! With the top scorer in the national exam here, what are you afraid of? Everyone agrees, right? He's the top scorer in the national exam, hahaha!"

Wan Chongshan's words caused his group to burst into laughter.

So what if they're the top scorers in the country? If they can clear the game with a bunch of support classes who have absolutely no combat ability, then why would they bother to put in the effort to build a team of over two hundred people?

"Brother Liu, let's start the dungeon."

An Bai said it again.

His emotions remained completely unaffected by Wan Chongshan's words.

Liu Qi sighed.

But he said no more.

"Forget it, I have an Absolute Protection skill. If things get out of hand, at least I can protect you once, and then I'll immediately exit the dungeon."

"At worst, I won't check it for three days. I'm tired of checking it these days, so I'll take a break."

As Liu Qi spoke, he led the remaining people into the dungeon.

An Bai hadn't expected Liu Qi to be so loyal.

After all, they couldn't even be called friends; they only met on the forum and this was their first time meeting in person.

He thought of Zhao Zhiqing's brother, Zhao Ruitian. The two were somewhat similar, both being so forthright, uninhibited, and loyal.

Even their professions are somewhat similar.

Of course, a Tier 1 Greatsword Warrior still can't outmaneuver a Tier 2 Holy Shield Knight.

The entrance to this instance is slightly different.

It is a huge bronze door that is tens of meters high.

The door is decorated with reliefs of a blue dragon coiled in the clouds, a white tiger roaring in the mountains, a vermilion bird bathing in fire, and a black tortoise suppressing the sea, with each line flowing with dark golden energy.

[The Trial of the Four Saints, Part One: The Dungeon Challenge Begins—]

Current number of participants: 40 (minimum requirement)

[Infernal Difficulty Mission: Protect the Crystal. Defeat the ancient beasts from the four directions before they approach the central crystal. Note: The crystal is extremely fragile; a single normal attack will shatter it once a beast gets close.]

At the same time, the character notification sound rang in the ears of the forty people.

The group successfully teleported into the instance world.

This is a vast, open plain.

A purple crystal floats suspended in mid-air.

Looking into the distance, one can see the silhouettes of enormous beasts in the four cardinal directions.

Thunderclouds surged on one side, blazing fire burned on the other, beasts galloped on one side, and mountains and rivers crumbled on the other.

"If it weren't for the Purgatory difficulty, this place would actually come with its own defensive fortress and some basic turrets. Even if the ferocious beasts get close, as long as the fortress isn't completely destroyed, it wouldn't be considered a failure."

"However, the Purgatory difficulty level is significantly more difficult. There are absolutely no defensive measures. As long as you get within 100 meters, you will be judged as having lost."

"An Bai, let's make this clear first, I can't hold out all the way by myself. At most, I can only delay things a little. Besides, my strongest defensive skill only lasts for ten minutes. After that, I won't even be able to delay anymore."

Liu Qi gave a bitter smile.

If he were strong enough to guard a lane alone, he wouldn't still be toiling away in the outer courtyard.

"It's alright, Brother Liu, you can lead everyone to wait here."

An Bai waved his hand. From the beginning, he had no intention of seeking help from others.

He had a general understanding of the instance before he came in.

Although it's called the Four Saints Dungeon, once you enter, there are four trial paths named after the four saints.

However, contrary to his expectations, the ancient ferocious beasts in the four directions were not actually the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, or Black Tortoise.

Instead, they are four other ancient behemoths with similar abilities. They are not as powerful as the true sacred beasts, but their strength is absolutely extraordinary.

He's seen several bosses with the prefix "Ancient" before, such as the Ancient Bull King and the Ancient Giant Beast Abyss Maw.

The terrifying healing effect meant that An Bai had to spend a considerable amount of time unleashing his full power to kill it.

Another one completely neutralized An Bai's strongest attack method, leaving him with no choice but to rely on equipment skills to counter it.

He even encountered the ancient divine beast Bloodhoof, and although it was only a single attack, it was enough to leave a deep impression on him.

After all, that was an attack that directly forced him to use up one of his invulnerability-free substitute abilities.

"An Bai, I suggest you take the White Tiger Road first. The boss here can constantly summon hordes of beasts. If you don't deal with them first, they might form a beast tide and attack first."

"In terms of health, the boss on White Tiger Road has the lowest health, making it easier to defeat."

The four ancient behemoths all moved slowly.

However, the summoned beast horde will arrive as the vanguard at top speed, so he has to deal with this side first.

Otherwise, the others who remain here, despite their large numbers, might not even be able to defeat a single non-boss monster.

Upon hearing Liu Qi's words, An Bai did not hesitate.

The shoe effect immediately activated, and he transformed into a blur as he rushed towards Baihu Road.
