“Alright, students! Get ready to enter the instance!”
Gao Yang gathered all the students and ordered, “The Fire Rat Nest instance has four levels of difficulty: Normal, Difficult, Nightmare, and Hell.”
“For teams with members under six stars, only the Normal level should be chosen. Don’t overestimate your abilities!”
“Teams with two six-star professionals can choose the Difficult level.”
“And those with three can try the Nightmare level.”
“As for the Hell level, no one should choose it. Got it?”
Gao Yang’s tone turned extremely serious. “Ever since this Fire Rat Nest instance came about, no professionist below Level 5 has been able to conquer it.”
“Even teams of rookie professionists from big cities like Beijing and the seashore have never been able to clear it.”
“Any of you! You definitely should not choose the Hell level!”
“Understood?”
“Understood!”
While Gao Yang was ostensibly instructing all the students, his gaze was fixed on Yao Zhixue.
Among the hundreds of student professionists in the school, only Yao Zhixue was qualified to challenge the Hell level!
“Hurry up, let’s form a team and get in.”
“Our team doesn’t even have a single six-star professionist. Let’s settle for the Normal level.”
“We have Brother Hao with us. We could try the Difficult level.”
“Not a chance, I don’t want to die.”
“What’s there to be scared of? If it doesn’t work out, we can just retreat, choose a safe spot and exit the instance.”
“Well… let’s give it a shot then. The soul power given at Difficult level is more than ten times that of the Normal level!”
A few teams quickly came to a consensus while Chen Xiao, Cai Kun, and Zhang Ping’an also huddled together.
“What should we do, we only have four people, we can only go to the Normal level, right?”
“I kind of want to try the Difficult level.”
“What about Brother Cheng? Ask him what he thinks.”
“Hehehe, it would be great if Yao Zhixue could join our team. I’d even want to try the Hell level!”
“Are you out of your mind? Didn’t you hear the teacher say that the Hell level of this Fire Rat Nest has been unconquered till now?”
“Even a nine-star professionist doesn’t stand a chance!”
As Chen Xiao was talking, his eyes suddenly lit up: “Brother Cheng is back!
And… Yao Zhixue?”
Everyone quickly gathered around.
“Brother Cheng, what have you been talking about? It took you so long?”
“Brother Cheng, which level of difficulty should we choose? Normal or Difficult?”
Zheng Cheng came over, an odd expression on his face: “Yao Zhixue wants to join our team.”
“What?!”
The volume of their voices suddenly increased by a few decibels, attracting the attention of the rookie professionists in the vicinity. “What happened? What’s going on?”
“I heard Yao Zhixue is joining Zheng Cheng’s team!”
“Are you kidding? Zheng Cheng is only a three-star Priest, and Chen Xiao is just a three-five star Knight, How could they…?”
“Damn it! Zheng Cheng, this pretty boy! How could Yao Zhixue be so shallow?” Not far away, when Liang Feifan heard this, he was immediately pissed off.
He was about to challenge them when he suddenly saw Zhao Yunxiao behind them all.
“Captain Zhao… Could it be, is it a Night Watcher’s mission?” “Or is it that Captain Zhao wants to win over this Zheng Cheng!”
“Damn it…!”
Liang Feifan gritted his teeth and glared hatefully at Zheng Cheng and the others.
“Brother Fan, didn’t you say Yao Zhixue was going to challenge the instance alone? How come she’s teaming up with Zheng Cheng now?” Yang Lie asked in surprise.
The other team members, especially the newly joined Liu Siyu, also wondered: “Yao Zhixue is a nine-star professionist, why would she…”
Liang Feifan snorted: “So what about being a nine-star? A woman who falls for such a pretty boy like Zheng Cheng, how strong can she be?”
“Did you guys forget about recorded history?”
“The rank of a profession doesn’t represent the strength of the professionist. It’s the mindset!”
“The strong must possess the courage to climb, risk, and challenge!”
“Yao Zhixue is a nine-star professionist, but she has the mindset of an average woman. She’s actually been bedazzled by the looks of a lower-ranked professionist and is willingly manipulated by him.”
Liang Feifan’s tone changed again: “Throughout history, numerous individuals attained a nine-star profession, but how many of them became pillars of the state, stepping into the realm of mythical strongmen?” “As for female mythical strongmen, they are exceedingly rare!”
“So what of a nine-star professionist?”
“As long as we are united and brave enough to face challenges, we are not necessarily weaker! ”
Liang Feifan’s words left people like Yang Lie watching him with new admiration.
Lin Jianyue laughed sweetly, “Who would have thought, Liang Feifan, that you harbour such thoughts?”
In the depths of Liang Feifan’s eyes lurked resentment. Remembering his father’s teachings, he gritted his teeth and said,
“As long as we level up the fastest and become strong, what woman can’t we have?”
“Even a nine-star strongwoman, I might have the chance to surpass her…” Although he talked big, deep down, Liang Feifan was filled with rage.
He quickly came up with a plan.
Elsewhere.
Zheng Cheng felt helpless about Yao Zhixue’s joining in.
He was indeed moved by the Night Watch’s enticement.
Benefits aside for now, his primary goal was to explore the secrets of his own ability.
Was he the only one with a Change Ability, or did other professionists also have one?
And the Night Watch, as an organization comprising most of the elite professionists in Xia Country, was undoubtedly his best choice!
Maybe seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Zhao Yunxiao strongly recommended Yao Zhixue to join this trial instance dungeon.
And Yao Zhixue happily agreed.
Zheng Cheng initially wanted to refuse, but considering Yao Zhixue’s formidable power, and the sacrifices his friends Chen Xiao, Cai Kun, and Zhang Ping’an had made for him, he acquiesced.
Soon, all teams were ready and gathered at the gate of the trial instance dungeon.
Following the team leader’s selection, flashes of light shimmered from the whirlpool, sucking in the professionists one by one.
“Brother Cheng, what difficulty level should we choose?”
Because of Yao Zhixue’s presence, Chen Xiao graciously yielded the leadership position.
Cai Kun excitedly suggested, “Brother Cheng, now that we have Yao Zhixue, should we try the Nightmare difficulty?” “Nightmare difficulty…”
Zhang Ping’an’s eyes were also excited.
With Yao Zhixue’s addition, if they were to challenge the Nightmare difficulty, the soul power they gained could upgrade them to LV3!
“Hey! Zheng Cheng!”
Suddenly, Liang Feifan strode over with his team and snorted, “Wanna have a competition
“Competition? About what?”
Zheng Cheng asked, puzzled.
“About conquering the instance dungeon!”
Liang Feifan growled, “The difficulty level of the dungeon, the time it takes to conquer it, the loser must always yield three steps when seeing the winner in the future…
Zheng Cheng shook his head, “How about we raise the stakes a bit?”
Liang Feifan smiled, “You really think having a nine-star professionist makes you unbeatable?” “Fine! I’ll compete…”
“What are you two up to?”
Gao Yang walked over, frowning, “It’s a time of great strife, with humans competing with demons and different races for survival. And all you have to offer are trivial gambling games?”
Liang Feifan quickly replied, “I’m sorry, Teacher Gao, I was just trying to…”
“Teacher Gao, as you said, it’s a time of strife. Liang Feifan and I are merely competing! ”
Zheng Cheng retorted, “We’re fighting for resources, for life, for survival, and for who will live to see another day!”
His four-dimensional attributes now far surpassed all other newborns, so why would he fear a measly LV5 Hell-class instance dungeon?
Gao Yang burst out laughing, “Well said, Zheng Cheng.”
“If that’s the case, then let me be the judge for this gamble, alright?”
“Sure!”
Liang Feifan secretly cursed, took out an item from his inventory, and declared, “This item is called a “Town Scroll”, which can set a teleportation point in the Professionist Guild.”
“As long as you’re on a map marked by this scroll, you can teleport back to the
Professionist Guild instantly!” “This scroll is worth 1,000 gold coins!”
“That’s my wager! “
