You say the cataclysm only comes after you've cleared the entire dungeon?

Li Yichen is currently at the peak of E-level, which is more than enough to deal with several F-level zombies.

Unfortunately, they weren't very lucky and didn't find a single crystal core.

The drop rate for F-grade zombies was too low, and there weren't many zombies. So he wasn't too discouraged and quickly moved with Luo Zeyan to Building 4 to look for E-grade zombies.

"You're at the peak of E-rank now, you can beat him one-on-one." Luo Zeyan used a wire to pry open an iron door and let Li Yichen in. "I'll wait for you outside. Call me if you can't win."

"Okay." Li Yichen gave an OK sign and walked in with firm steps.

I always thought that earth element was more suitable for defense, so every time we went on a mission, he would either go to the front to act as a shield or cover the rear.

However, when faced with danger, Luo Zeyan, who always has the stronger output, is always the first to rush forward.

Things are different now. From now on, I need to keep my parents by my side, so I must improve my strength as soon as possible to protect them.

Luo Zeyan was clearly aware of Li Yichen's thoughts, so he accompanied him throughout the process without interfering, leaving all the E-level zombies for Li Yichen to practice on.

We were lucky this time; we got two E-grade crystal cores.

"I'll try absorbing one." Li Yichen put one of them into his pocket and held the other in his palm.

Before the Linjiang Safety Zone was established, they had always been operating on unorthodox methods.

After killing zombies and finding crystal cores, you can absorb them directly without any concept of "levels".

This is why Luo Zeyan's level increased so quickly.

One reason is that he has some talent and a good grasp of his superpowers.

On the other hand, it unintentionally absorbed many crystal cores of the same level as itself.

It wasn't until Lou Fengyue held a training conference for all the ability users that they learned that absorbing crystal cores of the same or higher level as themselves carried the risk of exploding and dying.

However, Li Yichen is quite confident in his physique, after all, he has been training in sports for more than ten years!

"Give it a try. If it doesn't work, stop. Don't force yourself." Luo Zeyan kept his eyes fixed on Li Yichen, worried that something might go wrong during the absorption process.

For an E-level crystal core, the energy is at full capacity.

The moment the energy surged into his palm, Li Yichen felt as if his internal organs had become a red-hot iron, so hot it felt like it was about to explode.

The veins on the back of his hand were all taut, with prominent blue veins.

Fortunately, it can still withstand it.

Before long, the crystal core he was holding in his hand was reduced to a clump of powder.

He felt the heat spreading outwards, and the clamoring cells gradually cooled down.

Li Yichen exhaled a puff of hot air that emitted white smoke: "Thirsty, my mouth is dry."

Luo Zeyan chuckled and handed over the bottled water he had in his pocket: "You must have broken through."

After chugging down half a bottle of mineral water, Li Yichen let out a satisfied sigh, then confidently shifted the focus: "It's D-rank's turn."

The two walked downstairs side by side.

Lou Fengyue was still sitting under the banyan tree, idly playing a drinking game with Ning Yuan.

Hearing footsteps, she turned her head to look.

The moment their gaze fell upon the radiant Li Yichen, they sensed that his energy fluctuations were much stronger than before.

Breakthrough achieved, D-level.

She stood up, dusted off her pants, and assigned the next task: "Let's go, the D-level bodies are in Building 3. Ning Yuan, Fang Yuan, and Shi Lei, the three of you go and dispose of the bodies. Drag them all downstairs and burn them together."

"yes!"

Six Class D items in Building 3.

Lou Fengyue glanced at Luo Zeyan, then at Li Yichen.

"Li Yichen, you just broke through, your abilities are still unstable, you can't win one-on-one." Lou Fengyue said, opening a door and turning to look at Luo Zeyan, "Go, be careful."

"Okay." Luo Zeyan replied crisply and entered the room with steady steps.

Li Yichen stared at the flickering brown energy gathering in his palm and clicked his tongue: "Captain Lou, can I have one to practice with?"

The way Li Yichen referred to him as "Team Leader Lou" carried a strangely teasing tone.

Although he didn't mean it that way.

Lou Fengyue glanced at him, then walked to another iron gate.

Inside is the weakest D-class zombie with the weakest energy fluctuations.

She used a wire to pry open the door lock, her voice muffled behind her mask, making it impossible to discern her emotions: "If you can't beat them, just shout. I'm outside."

"Okay!" Li Yichen immediately smiled. "Team Leader Lou is truly beautiful inside and out!"

Lou Fengyue rolled her eyes, ignoring his compliment.

While Luo Zeyan finished dealing with the five D-level monsters, Li Yichen was still fighting.

Luo Zeyan handed over the three crystal cores he had dug up, his gaze fixed on the house from which the sounds of fighting were coming. "Can he win?"

"Let him practice," Lou Fengyue said casually.

"I'm afraid if he keeps hitting it, the whole building will collapse," Luo Zeyan said with a light laugh.

Hmm... that was quite a commotion.

After all, it's an earth-based ability, so it's all about smashing mud. I just heard the sound of glass breaking.

"We'll deal with it after it collapses." Lou Fengyue waved her hand dismissively, then pointed to the deep red crystal core in his hand, "Absorb them one by one, and you should be able to break through."

Luo Zeyan is at the peak of D-level, just one step away from C-level.

The process of absorbing the crystal core went more smoothly than expected. Without even taking a Body Tempering Pill, he successfully absorbed a crystal core and broke through to the C-level.

After absorbing the remaining two D-grade crystal cores, his superpowers stabilized.

Lou Fengyue checked his pulse, her brows furrowed, and her peach blossom eyes were filled with disbelief.

This talent... is a bit too overpowered.

When Li Yichen came out after killing the zombies, he saw Lou Fengyue with one hand on Luo Zeyan's wrist, while Luo Zeyan was looking down at her.

His eyes were as sticky as sesame paste.

He shoved his hands into his pockets, swaggered around, and said with a mocking tone, "I shouldn't be here, I should be under the car."

I should have left with my parents; I wouldn't have stayed here shining brightly.

What's even more infuriating is that after fighting for so long, that zombie still doesn't have a crystal core!

It was a double blow to his psyche!

Hearing his teasing, Lou Fengyue calmly withdrew her hand and then checked his pulse.

The superpower is still unstable.

She casually pulled out two E-grade crystal cores and placed them in his palm: "I killed them on the way, here you go."

Li Yichen, holding two rose-red crystals, performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act: "Team Leader Lou is selfless and impartial!"

Lou Fengyue glanced at him speechlessly and didn't reply.

There was only one C-level zombie left in the neighborhood.

He handed the training to Luo Zeyan, while Lou Fengyue watched from the doorway.

Li Yichen sat on a stone bench under the banyan tree, rested for a while, and absorbed the two crystal cores given to him by Lou Fengyue to stabilize his supernatural power.

Luo Zeyan has extremely high talent. Although he has just broken through to C-level, he can fight on equal terms with C-level zombies.

Moreover, they have excellent observation skills and can find their opponent's weaknesses within a few moves, which then turns the tide of the battle.

Immediately afterwards, he used the new move that Lou Fengyue had taught him.

boom--

The moment the zombie exploded, Lou Fengyue's eyes widened in shock.

Luo Zeyan picked up the crystal core from the ground, wiped it on the hem of his clothes, and walked up to Lou Fengyue, who was still in a daze.

"This trick works well, but it easily gets your clothes dirty. Next time, I'll have to keep my distance." He handed over the crystal core. "Here, take this."

Lou Fengyue was a little dazed. She had spent half a year in the natural disaster trial and had never seen a newly promoted C-level ability user kill a mid-C-level zombie.

This learning ability is just too strong!
