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

"Yeah?"

Lu Chen's wicked smile reappeared, filled with endless mockery.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

"resurrection."

[Ding! Hidden Dragon successfully revived, all attributes +1!]

[Ding! Chu Yu has been successfully resurrected. All attributes +1!]

[Ding! Qian Mengmeng has been successfully revived, all attributes +1!]

[Ding! Resurrected...]

A soft green light surged forth like a tide, instantly enveloping all the "dead" companions.

As the light shifted, the wounds healed, the toxins were cleared, and the breath returned... all in just two or three breaths.

Everyone stood up again unharmed!

"No--!!!"

At the bottom of the pit, Old Wang, who was on the verge of death, witnessed this miraculous scene.

His pupils shrank to pinpoints in an instant, and he let out a desperate roar.

That roar exhausted his last bit of strength.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at Lu Chen, then his head lolled to the side, and he died, his eyes wide open in death.

Lu Chen shook the blood off his fist.

He then took out a tissue from his spatial bracelet.

He slowly and deliberately wiped his hands.

It was as if I had just done something insignificant.

"Pah! You scum! How dare you assassinate me!"

The first thing Canglong did after being resurrected was to rush to Old Wang's corpse.

He spat hard onto the lifeless face.

Then he raised his size 40-plus foot and stomped hard on Old Wang's head.

"I'll stomp your dog head to pieces!"

Just then, a burst of barely suppressed joyful shouts came from the side.

"Haha! I broke through! I've finally broken through the bottleneck that's been holding me for half a year!"

"Me too! I feel like I have a deeper understanding of the 'Breaking Army Formation' now!"

"Thank you, Young Master Lu Chen!"

The four Tibetan guards suddenly broke through a minor realm, and their understanding of the combined attack formation also improved!

Their faces were filled with excitement as they hurried to Lu Chen and bowed deeply with utmost sincerity:

"Thank you for your help, Young Master Lu Chen! If it weren't for your protection, we would never have dared to risk our lives like this, and we would never have achieved this breakthrough!"

They knew perfectly well that without Lu Chen's miraculous resurrection ability as an absolute backup,

They would never have dared to employ that kind of fighting style, completely abandoning defense and risking their lives.

It is precisely this kind of life-and-death experience without any worries that...

That's what allowed them to break through the bottleneck and achieve a breakthrough.

Get up.

Lu Chen waved his hand, his tone indifferent.

"This is something you earned through your own hard work and courage; it has little to do with me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to Shangguan Hong's side.

"Thank you, Young Master Lu Chen!"

The four guards bowed respectfully again before straightening up.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Chen was filled with heartfelt respect and gratitude.

"My goodness..."

Canglong stopped stamping and looked at his guards as they all broke through, his fat face full of surprise.

His eyes darted around, and suddenly he thought of something. A fawning smile instantly spread across his face. He trotted over to Lu Chen, lowered his voice, and whispered mysteriously, "..."

"Boss! Boss Lu Chen! Can I talk to you about something?"

"explain."

Lu Chen glanced at him.

"Look, after this beginner dungeon is over, could you come over to my house for a visit when you have some free time?"

I promise to treat you with the highest level of hospitality!

A paradise on earth, with delicious food and fine wine—everything you could want!

Hidden Dragon rubbed his hands together, first offering an enticing condition, then revealing his true intentions.

"Hehe, it's just... could you please move your finger, boss?"

How about helping my ancestors who've been stuck at a bottleneck to "stretch their muscles"?

"Could we see if we could give them... a second spring?"

He patted his chest and guaranteed:

"Don't worry! The reward will absolutely satisfy you! Whatever you want, as long as my collector can provide it, I will give it to you without hesitation!"

Canglong, quick-witted, instantly thought of another incredible use for Lu Chen's "resurrection" ability.

That is to help the family's top experts achieve a breakthrough through a life-or-death struggle without any risk!

If this is successful, the overall strength of collectors will increase dramatically.

Perhaps they can squeeze into the second level of the Heavenly Wind City from a first-class family, or even... peek into the threshold of the third level!

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen pondered for a moment.

"Can."

Finally, he nodded, agreeing to Canglong's request.

Having more friends means having more options. As long as the risks are managed well, this deal is worthwhile.

He didn't make the decision rashly.

On the one hand, he sensed that his strength would experience a huge leap after this beginner dungeon ended.

At that time, even if the collector has other intentions, he will have a certain ability to protect himself.

On the other hand, if all else fails, he can also bring "Female Tyrannosaurus" Xuan Yuanwu along.

Even if the Zang family had a few extra lives, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly, given the power and influence of the Xuanyuan family.

Anyone who dares to harm those protected by the Xuanyuan family will be wiped off the map.

"Wow! Thank you, boss! You're so great!"

Zanglong immediately cheered with joy, his chubby face beaming with happiness.

Ran Ruhua, standing to the side, watched Canglong's obsequious, even somewhat fawning, manner towards Lu Chen.

Combined with the scene of the two "whispering" earlier,

A chilling thought suddenly popped into my head:

"No way...they two...could they really be having an affair?"

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Canglong has always been indifferent to his official fiancée, avoiding her whenever possible.

But she was so enthusiastic and proactive towards Lu Chen...

Could it be that Canglong has been refusing to acknowledge the engagement because he is simply not interested in women?

Ran Ruhua's expression kept changing.

"No! We must tell Uncle Zang about this right away!"

She made up her mind that she couldn't let the family line die out!

Lu Chen was naturally unaware that a grand drama was already unfolding in Ran Ruhua's mind.

Shangguan Hong carefully examined the corpse of the man in black, Old Wang.

Soon, a skull tattoo was discovered on her chest.

This is precisely the symbol of the Demon God Cult.

In addition, she also removed an inconspicuous black spatial ring from her finger.

"This is..." Shangguan Hong used her spiritual power to probe the interior, her expression suddenly changing. She hurriedly said, "Lord Lu Chen, something's wrong!"

Lu Chen took the ring and probed it with his mind.

However, when he "saw" the items stored inside the ring,

He froze instantly, his face showing extreme astonishment.

The ring's internal space is not large.

But inside were piled... all sorts of brightly colored women's underwear.

And many oddly shaped and unidentified small toys!

Lu Chen suddenly raised his head, staring wide-eyed at Shangguan Hong.

His eyes were filled with disbelief, as if to say:

Why are you showing me this? Or is it something someone else has used?

"Oh dear, Lord Lu Chen, it's not those!"

Shangguan Hong realized what was happening, and two blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks. She quickly waved her hand.

Pointing to a corner of the ring's interior, he explained eagerly:

"Look closely, there's an inconspicuous white piece of paper at the very back!"
