He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

A blush crept across Shangguan Hong's face, but she quickly regained her composure and shook her head, saying:

"I don't know how they infiltrated."

However, the Demon God Cult is skilled in infiltration and disguise, and may have used some special tools.

However, they definitely didn't infiltrate with good intentions; we must be careful.

"Is that so..."

Lu Chen seemed to be deep in thought, then relaxed again and leaned back.

"Forget it, there are always tall people to hold up the sky if it falls."

If communication equipment weren't unavailable in dungeons,

He had to report to the enforcement team.

He just wants to focus on improving himself right now.

As for this kind of thing, let the professionals handle it.

However, Lu Chen was unaware that

A massive crisis is brewing in some corner of this beginner dungeon.

Deep within a secluded mountain cave,

A dozen or so cold figures dressed in black robes were forming a circle.

On the cave floor, a huge, eerie magic circle was carved with dark red blood.

It exudes an unsettling and sinister aura.

Scattered around the magic circle were the corpses of numerous monster cubs, as well as... the remains of many human children!

Their blood had been drained and collected in the grooves in the ground.

It became the "fuel" to activate the magic circle.

The strong smell of blood was almost nauseating.

"%%*&^(@$#$#)......"

The men in black robes bowed their heads and chanted obscure and incomprehensible incantations.

As they chanted, the magic circle on the ground, written in blood, began to glow faintly.

An ominous dark red light emanated from it.

The black mist inside the cave spread out, and the temperature dropped sharply.

"Great demon god, heed the call of your humble servant!"

At the heart of the scene, the patriarch, his black robe embroidered with several blood-red lines, stood...

He raised his bone staff high and shouted in a fervent voice,

"Break down the barriers of space and descend into this world with pure blood and soul as offerings!"

We will utterly destroy the filthy, corrupt humanity and establish an eternal kingdom belonging to us demons!

Just then, a man in black robes flashed into the cave entrance. He knelt on one knee and spoke urgently:

"Reporting back to the Instructor!"

The life imprints of the two peripheral members, Demon Armor and Demon B, have just dissipated!

They may have already…

"So what if he's dead!"

The black-robed leader, known as the Apostle, didn't turn his head, his tone cold, indifferent, and utterly emotionless.

"Two useless people, they can't even handle something as simple as creating chaos."

It's good that they're dead; their souls might even add a tiny bit of power to the ritual.

Ignore it, the ceremony continues!

The arrival of the Demon God must not be disturbed in any way!

"yes!"

The reporter dared not say more and quickly withdrew.

Inside the cave, the light from the magic circle grew even more intense, and black mist churned.

There seems to be some kind of evil force attempting to cross over.

Meanwhile, outside, countless examinees were diligently vying for points within the instance.

Unaware of this, danger was quietly approaching.

Lu Chen and his group continued their exploration.

However, the journey that followed seemed a little too "peaceful".

Aside from the occasional lone wild boar, python, or other common monsters,

Shangguan Hong easily resolved the matter.

Besides contributing some meager experience to Lu Chen,

They never encountered another monster horde as large as goblins.

The entire forest seemed to have been emptied out, eerily quiet.

This made Lu Chen, who was eager to accumulate attribute points quickly, feel somewhat disappointed.

After all, one must be strong to succeed, and attribute points are the foundation for him to fight against all threats in the future.

Having just experienced the attack by the demonic cult assassins, he realized even more the importance of his own strength.

Resurrection ability alone is not enough; he needs more direct combat methods.

"Shangguan Hong," Lu Chen suddenly remembered something and asked.

Do you have any martial arts techniques or skill books here that are suitable for me to learn now?

I feel that having attributes alone, without combat skills, still puts you at a disadvantage when facing danger.

He recalled how he had previously punched and destroyed Demon B, relying purely on attribute superiority without any skill whatsoever.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Shangguan Hong's eyes:

"Lord Lu Chen, you...don't know how to acquire skills?"

"Know what?"

Lu Chen was puzzled.

"Professionals typically acquire skills in two main ways," Shangguan Hong patiently explained.

"Firstly, as your level increases, there is a certain chance that you will automatically learn skills that suit your class characteristics."

However, the probability is low, and the skills learned are highly random.

Secondly, learning can be done through the use of specialized skill books.

Skill books are divided into general types and profession-specific types.

The rarer the profession, the scarcer and more valuable its exclusive skill books.

It is almost never available on the market.

They are usually held in the treasuries of major powers, families, or countries.

For a profession like yours,

I'm afraid... it will be very difficult to find a skill book that perfectly matches the requirements.

"I see... never mind then."

Lu Chen waved his hand helplessly.

It seems unrealistic to expect to quickly acquire powerful skills.

If all else fails, I'll just rely on basic freestyle punches and groin kicks from now on.

As long as my attributes are overwhelming enough, no matter how fancy your skills are, I can defeat them with sheer force!

Just then, the life domain that had been open suddenly responded!

"Wait, something's up!"

Lu Chen's expression hardened, and he immediately sounded a warning.

In his perception,

There are several creatures with considerable vitality ahead.

They are rapidly approaching in their direction!

"alert!"

Shangguan Hong reacted extremely quickly. With a low shout, she leaped off the back of the Iron-Eating Beast and flashed to block Lu Chen's path.

Qian Mengmeng and Chu Yu also reacted immediately.

Qian Mengmeng summoned several vines to stand guard around the area.

Chu Yu raised his staff, and water elements began to gather.

The three of them formed a tight defensive formation once again, protecting Lu Chen in the center.

Having just experienced the sneak attack by the demonic cult assassins, they will not be careless this time. Any unidentified person approaching them will be considered a threat!

Soon, a cacophony of shouts and running sounds came from the woods ahead.

"Hidden Dragon! You fat bastard, stop right there! You need to get this straight today!"

A clear but angry female voice rang out.

"Ru Hua! My goodness, you crazy woman! Can you please stop chasing me? The engagement was arranged by our elders, what does it have to do with me! I didn't agree to it!"

A familiar, helpless male voice followed immediately.

Ahead, two groups of people were chasing each other in a rather comical manner.

The one escaping ahead was the fat man Canglong, sitting in a makeshift sedan chair!

The sedan chair was carried by four burly, muscular men.

Zanglong urged the sedan chair bearers to hurry up.

He turned around and shouted back.

Following behind was a young girl sitting in what looked like a sedan chair.

The girl was beautiful, but at this moment her eyebrows were raised and her almond-shaped eyes were wide open.

He was also waving a... feather duster?

It was Ran Ruhua, the daughter of the city lord of Butterfly Dream City, which is next to Tianfeng City!

It is said that she is engaged to Canglong.

Ran Ruhua's sedan chair was carried by four tall, agile, and strong women.

The two groups then staged a unique "sedan chair chase" in the forest.

Lu Chen and the four members of the Black Rose Squad plus Xiong were dumbfounded.
