The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

What? This freshman is no weaker than me in terms of strength?

Luo Jian's eyes widened in surprise.

You must be joking.

Given his level, it means Lin Yuan couldn't possibly be wearing high-level, high-quality equipment—no, could it be that this guy has already reached level 50 and started cultivating true essence?

Otherwise, how do you explain the other party's incredible power?

Thinking of this, Luo Jian decided to test the waters again to confirm.

"Junior brother, take this punch!" he roared and swung his fist at Lin Yuan.

This time, he used all his strength.

Lin Yuan was naturally unafraid and threw a punch as well.

boom!

The two fists collided, creating an invisible shockwave that kicked up a cloud of dust and caused their clothes to flutter wildly.

Then, Luo Jian slowly withdrew his fist and smiled, "Junior Brother Lin is indeed exceptionally talented. I admire him! I admire him!"

He took two steps back and bowed respectfully.

Lin Yuan was also somewhat surprised. He had thought that with his attributes, he was already the best among all the students, but he didn't expect that he couldn't suppress the other party. It was clear that the people ranked at the top of the school were indeed quite capable and should not be underestimated.

However, this is just a pure contest of strength. If a real fight breaks out, it will be a battle of comprehensive abilities between the two sides—control ability, de-control ability, and firepower output.

However, this is within the school premises, and the school rules strictly prohibit fighting. If they exchange a punch, it can be considered as playing around, but if they really fight with all their might... they will definitely be punished by the school. If the punishment is to deduct credits, then forget about it.

The main point is that Luo Jian clearly doesn't want to fight and is seeking peace.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Luo lives up to his reputation; his strength is extraordinary."

"Let's add each other as friends. Feel free to ask if you need anything in the future," Luo Jian said with a smile, while showing his friend list.

Lin Yuan smiled and showed his own. The two touched hands and became friends.

"Junior Brother Lin, you have things to attend to, I'll be going now," Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Mm." Lin Yuan nodded.

He opened the door and went inside, waiting for dinner to be delivered.

This simple exchange between the two quickly went viral and spread on the campus network.

"What?! Lin Yuan is actually on par with Luo Jian?"

"No way!"

"Luo Jian is the senior brother of the fifth grader, and he is also among the top ten in strength."

"Although it was just an exchange of punches and no real fighting, it was enough to demonstrate Lin Yuan's strength."

"This freshman is just too amazing."

"He shouldn't be level 30 or 40, but level 50, right? Without true essence, he's missing an attribute. How can he fight against a powerhouse like Luo Jian?"

"Unless he finds a way to cultivate true essence before level 50?"

"If he were born into a truly top-tier power, could there be some kind of item that would allow him to possess true essence attributes ahead of time?"

"Hmm, maybe it really is possible!"

"How can we compare? We lost at the starting line from the moment we were born."

"Ugh!"

Most people thought that Lin Yuan came from the most prestigious family and even unlocked his true essence attribute before level 50 with special and rare items. Otherwise, even if you use diamonds to enhance all your equipment, it won't increase your strength attribute. How could you fight Luo Jian without being at a disadvantage?

Even Luo Jian posted a message praising Lin Yuan, calling him a formidable opponent.

This is very interesting.

A formidable opponent, someone of equal strength, but also someone who could be defeated. Senior Brother Luo was very confident, believing that he would emerge victorious in a real fight.

But he's already a senior in his fifth year, so what if he can defeat a freshman?

Does your face glow?

In short, it was just a simple test that raised Lin Yuan's reputation to the "top ten" level.

Lin Yuan didn't care at all.

He just wants to reach level 50 right now.

After dinner, he trained in the battle room for a while before taking a shower and going to bed.

Silent all night.

The next day, Lin Yuan did the same thing as before, first going to the Tower of Babel to level up.

Let's talk about it after we reach level 33.

As for the 10 hours of "free" access to the Tower of Babel, since September has only just begun, there's no need to rush to use it. Besides, the higher his level, the greater the cost of using the Tower of Babel. So, it's definitely more cost-effective to wait until the end of the month to use it.

He spent 11 hours in the Tower of Babel today, successfully leveling up to level 33, before finally emerging from the tower, looking utterly dejected.

—It would be strange if someone had the energy to swing a stick all day long and do the same thing.

The good news is that he's getting closer to level 50.

Once Su Yunmeng and the others reach level 31, they can run a level 40 dungeon every two days for the next 12 days, which will allow them to level up 6 times. Wouldn't that make him level 39?

Unfortunately, there are only 4 level 50 dungeons, so you can only level up 4 times.

what!

Lin Yuan paused for a moment. There were indeed only four corresponding level 50 dungeons in China, but there were more than that in the world. If he could enter through the gates of other countries, hey, wouldn't he be able to easily level up to level 50, 60, or even 100 just by getting the dungeon rating rewards?

The difficulty is that it's already hard to go to other cities now, let alone go abroad.

Another question is, even if you go to another country, how do you get through security checks to enter the city?

Now countries can be completely isolated from each other!

Why is this happening?

It's a cult.

Cults are always causing destruction everywhere, and they often bring devastating viruses into cities, causing enormous damage. They are difficult to prevent, so most countries do not welcome foreigners to enter the country.

Unless it has official endorsement!

Lin Yuan's heart stirred. The weight of Shanghai Martial Arts University was heavy enough. Could he persuade the school to lobby the authorities to issue him official qualifications?

You can try.

He immediately contacted Qiao Feifei and shared his thoughts.

After listening, Qiao Feifei said, "I can't make such a big decision! I'll ask your teacher for you. If he agrees, then you'll be all set."

Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "Teacher Qiao, who is your master?"

"Old Qian," Qiao Feifei said with a smile.

Holy crap, it's Qian Zhongxun!

Lin Yuan was shocked. It turned out that Qiao Feifei's master was this big shot!

No wonder she was so confident, saying that as long as her master agreed, everything would be fine.

indeed.

"Then I'll wait for Teacher Qiao's good news."

After saying that, Lin Yuan hung up the call.

If he could really go to other countries to farm gold ratings, then he obviously couldn't bring Su Yunmeng and the others along anymore. In other words, he wouldn't be able to collect treasure chests as tickets, which would naturally be a big loss. But compared to the rapid level increase, he still felt it was worth it.

Although the Treasure Chest King talent allows him to wear high-quality equipment at low levels, how much difference is there in attributes between level 30 and level 200 Starry Sky equipment?

It's probably more than a hundred times.

*Beep*, a message pops up in the student table.

"You have a package delivered to your dormitory entrance. Please check it."
