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

Gu Chuan had somehow jumped off Xie Momo's magic sword and moved closer to Lu Chen.

She casually put her hand on Lu Chen's shoulder, looking at him with intense eyes.

His fighting spirit ignited once more: "Which powerful family are you from? How did you train?"

This physical strength is insane!

Let's have a good sparring session in private after we get out!

No fancy skills needed, just pure hand-to-hand combat!

How was it?

Lu Chen glanced at him. He wasn't averse to the other man's battle-crazed personality, but he didn't want to reveal too much.

He maneuvered the floating throne slightly to the side, avoiding the other's arm, and said in a calm tone:

"I'm just an ordinary orphan."

"Dude, stop joking!"

Furukawa didn't believe it at all, laughed, and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.

"Can an ordinary orphan have your strength?"

Your physical body was definitely forged using top-tier secret techniques; it would be impossible without the support of your family's resources!

Don't worry, I just want to fight you, I won't ask about your background!

On the magic sword, Qin Yingjun, the Ye family twins, Xie Momo, and others...

They all pricked up their ears and stared intently at Lu Chen.

They were equally curious about Lu Chen's true background.

Such overwhelmingly powerful physical strength...

If you said he was just an ordinary orphan, probably no one would believe it.

There must be an astonishing secret behind this.

"Shangguan Hong, let's go!"

Lu Chen was too lazy to waste any more words on Gu Chuan, this battle maniac.

He called out to his guards and prepared to leave the instance.

As for these so-called geniuses...

We'll meet again on a bigger stage sooner or later.

He hadn't forgotten that he was still a "seed" player personally invited by the Sage of Literature, and that he would have plenty of opportunities to deal with these people in the future.

"Bro! Don't go! Can we exchange contact information?"

Or you could tell me which city you're in! I'll come find you for a sparring match sometime!

Upon seeing this, Furukawa immediately shouted from behind.

Finding a peer who can put pressure on him is too difficult, and he is unwilling to let him go so easily.

Lu Chen didn't turn his head, but simply waved his hand, indicating that he wasn't interested.

The throne transformed into a streak of light, carrying him and the other three, and vanished without a trace.

"Hey! Fatty, do you think our brother... he's really just an ordinary orphan?"

Looking in the direction where Lu Chen disappeared,

Miao Tiaojun nudged Canglong next to him with his elbow.

He lowered his voice, his face full of curiosity.

At this moment, Canglong seemed to suddenly remember something extremely important.

His chubby face was full of anxiety.

He slapped his thigh suddenly and exclaimed:

"Oh no! Come with me! Quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, he immediately activated the instance's exit mechanism.

Immediately afterwards, the guards around Canglong quickly turned into specks of light and began to disappear from the instance.

Miao Tiaojun, Qin Yingjun, the Ye family twins, the Xie sisters, and others saw this,

Although they didn't understand why, they all chose to withdraw.

Throughout the entire instance space, surviving white lights rose and fell intermittently.

Tianfeng City, the central square of the instance.

The atmosphere here was completely different from when Lu Chen and his group entered; it was filled with a chilling and tense atmosphere.

The square has been completely taken over by fully armed military personnel and cordoned off.

Rows of rune-inscribed chariots, shimmering with an eerie light, were parked all around.

The silhouettes of aircraft could be vaguely seen weaving through the clouds in the sky.

A powerful aura enveloped the entire area.

Officials from the Ministry of Education, city lords from the law enforcement team, and representatives from various powerful families.

They all gathered at the edge of the square with solemn expressions, waiting anxiously.

Those students who chose not to enter the instance for various reasons,

They are all gathered outside the police line at this moment.

Their faces were filled with relief, and a buzz of discussion filled the air.

"My God... thank goodness we didn't go in! Look at this scene, something terrible must have happened inside!"

"I heard a lot of people died... the signal is disappearing piecemeal, it's terrifying!"

"Do you think Lu Chen... might have died in there too?"

"Hmph! It's better that she's dead! She dared to hit my goddess Ruyan, she deserved to be killed!"

One of Xiao Batian's fervent supporters whispered gloatingly.

"That's right! Brother Batian is so handsome and has such a good family background. What is Lu Chen? How dare he not give him face?"

If it were me, I would have knelt down and begged my brother for forgiveness!

A beautifully made-up fairy, deeply "poisoned" by certain harmful social media, cupped her hands to her heart and echoed with sparkling eyes.

"Fortunately, our Brother Batian didn't go in this time..."

With his good looks, talent, and background, he doesn't need to prove himself in the beginner dungeon at all.

"The best schools in China will definitely be vying for him!"

"Only a nobody like Lu Chen, a worthless orphan, would need to desperately enter dungeons to fight for a future..."

Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't let anyone hear...

What if Lu Chen isn't dead and comes back to cause you trouble?

Someone nearby kindly reminded them.

"Tch! I'll let him hit me! Does he dare to lay a hand on me?"

Believe it or not, I can just lie down on the ground and extort him until he's bankrupt and rots in jail!

The fairy girl raised her chin, looking smug.

"Let me tell you, the 'sisterhood support group' I joined taught me a lot of good methods for dealing with ordinary men and getting money from them..."

"Hey, look over there! Isn't that the head of the Zang family?"

And the elders of the Hu family... why did they come in person?

"They've never paid this much attention to these junior members' dungeons before?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. I heard from insiders that the young master of the Cang family, Canglong, has lost vital signs and might be in trouble..."

"Holy crap... even they..."

There was a cacophony of voices around.

Besides military and government personnel, several powerful and unsettling auras were also faintly present in the sky above the square, clearly indicating that some important figures were secretly watching.

In the void, a figure dressed in an elegant long dress and with a gentle temperament stood quietly. She was one of the personal disciples of the literary sage Shi Qianjun.

She was ordered by her master to stay here and check as soon as possible whether the special "seed" that her master had chosen—Lu Chen—was safe and sound.

"They're out! Someone's coming out!"

Suddenly, someone pointed to the huge light screen entrance in the center of the square and shouted.

The light screen rippled, and several figures stumbled and fell out—these were the few examinees who had miraculously survived.

As soon as they returned to the familiar and safe environment, seeing the fully armed soldiers around them and the familiar city view in the distance,

The tension that had been building up instantly collapsed, and many people slumped to the ground, bursting into tears.

"Waaaaah... Mom... I'm still alive..."

"Dad! I'm here!"

"It's terrifying... there are monsters everywhere... so many people are dead..."

Cries and shouts rang out, and the prepared medical staff immediately rushed forward.

They helped the still-shaken students down, comforted them, and checked them over.

The light screen continued to flash, and survivors were constantly being teleported out.

However, Lu Chen and his team failed to appear for a long time.
