Chapter 454: "Pursuit"
When the staff member guarding the Poison Mist Mountain Range saw Ling Zhan emerge from the teleportation array, he couldn't hide his shock!
Not only because Ling Zhan's level had skyrocketed from 58 to 62.
But also because he casually handed over two dragon pearls to the staff member!
S-rank rare materials!
The Thunder Dragon Emperor's dragon pearl!
The Poison Dragon Emperor's dragon pearl!
Items that are guaranteed to drop only when they are slain!
Ling Zhan also presented two A+ level skill books for the Dragon Language Magician class.
The reason Ling Zhan took these items out was naturally because, according to the laws and regulations of the Dragon Kingdom, these resources must be strictly controlled and registered.
But at this moment, the staff member's face was filled with astonishment!
Cleared?
Did he just speedrun the two wilderness resource maps known as the "lands of death" among all university students?
And he even killed the two lords of these wilderness resource maps!
The problem was, how long had it been?
It hadn't even been half an hour, right?
This... was just too unbelievable!!
The staff member was deeply moved!
After killing the thousand Two-Winged Poison Dragons, Ling Zhan's level had already reached 60.
Then, by killing another thousand Two-Winged Thunder Dragons, as well as the two lords, his level jumped to 62.
His attribute panel also changed.
[Strength: 1360; Intelligence: 1360; Constitution: 1360; Agility: 1360.] (No equipment, buffs, or items applied)
This level-up earned him a total of 440 free attribute points.
Now.
After registering the source and ownership of these materials and skill books.
Ling Zhan immediately teleported back to Tianyan Academy.
Watching the slender figure disappear into the teleportation array, the staff member couldn't help but mutter to himself in disbelief:
"Strange... Weren't there five senior students in level 70 who just entered? Did they not encounter him?"
......
At this moment.
Deep within the Poison Mist Mountain Range.
"Damn it!!"
Chen Wei cursed angrily, looking at the horde of Two-Winged Poison Dragons and Two-Winged Thunder Dragons swarming around them, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why are the Two-Winged Thunder Dragons here? Aren't those supposed to be monsters from the Thunder Pool Ruins?"
"And..."
"Who the hell caused these Two-Winged Dragons to go berserk?!"
Liu Dongsheng was almost in tears.
Li Lei, Zhao Ling, and Ding Xuejia wore grim expressions.
They had just set foot into the depths of the Poison Mist Mountain Range.
Suddenly, the Two-Winged Poison Dragons and Thunder Dragons went berserk, attacking them relentlessly.
And that wasn't even the worst part...
The worst part was that when they tried to fight back, the sensors on them started beeping with a warning.
"Warning: Maximum kill count for this resource map reached! Cease all killings immediately! Violators will face severe punishment!"
This left the five senior students completely dumbfounded!
In wilderness resource maps, multiple people were allowed to enter.
But the kill count was competitive—you had to fight for it.
If others killed faster than you, it meant you couldn't kill any more.
Killing beyond the limit would be illegal.
This strict regulation of resources was universal across all nations.
They never imagined such a situation!
Not only did they fail to catch up, but they also found themselves in a dire predicament.
"Chen Wei, should we keep pursuing?"
Ding Xuejia asked.
"Yes! I want to see who's capable enough to max out the kill count in such a short time!"
Chen Wei replied seriously.
The others nodded slowly.
They trudged forward, enduring the relentless attacks of the Two-Winged Dragons.
......
......
After returning to Tianyan Academy, Ling Zhan ordered some takeout and used his phone to pre-book an entry to the Level 60 secret realm dungeon via the school's official website.
He had two days.
He needed to level up to at least 65.
After all, he would soon be on the frontline battlefield, and every bit of strength meant greater security.
After lunch.
Ling Zhan arrived at a side hall of the Secret Realm Pavilion.
This side hall was spacious, and in the center stood three colossal stone doors, each ten meters high.
The violent aura and terrifying monster roars emanating from the cracks of the doors made it clear how frightening the secret dungeons behind these doors were.
Meanwhile.
The main hall of the Secret Realm Pavilion was still crowded with first- and second-year students, bustling with noise and excitement.
The Secret Realm Pavilion had always been the most popular place in any academy.
At any given time, you could see groups of students there.
Since at this stage, students primarily relied on secret dungeons to level up.
"Selling detailed strategies for the 35-level Dark Forest dungeon for 2000 points. Come trade if you're interested!"
"Selling a detailed guide for the 40-level Plague Village dungeon for 5000 points, complete with positioning tips for every monster!"
"30-level dungeon 'Mad Scientist's Alchemy Lab,' looking for a healer to join our team! Contact me!"
"..."
As the crowd continued shouting.
Suddenly.
An overwhelming and chilling killing intent filled everyone's hearts.
In the next second, it surged straight into their minds.
Many people's faces turned pale instantly!
There was no need for any indication.
They all instinctively turned toward the entrance of the side hall.
There they saw a tall, muscular figure.
His cold, sharp features, towering height of 1.9 meters, and the fierce killing intent emanating from him—even unconsciously—sent shivers down everyone's spine.
"Whoa!"
"Isn't that Ling God?"
"That almost scared me to death! That terrifying killing intent felt like I was inside a dangerous dungeon!"
Many clutched their chests.
They immediately recognized the person.
Everyone looked at Ling Zhan with awe and admiration.
Wow!
He had just returned to school, and his level had jumped from 58 to 62!
Wait...
Something's not right!
Wasn't he still at 58 when he filed his wilderness map application yesterday?
He gained 4 levels in less than a day!?
Unbelievable!
This was just too unbelievable!
And more importantly...
Wasn't this guy supposed to have just entered the teleportation array to the Poison Mist Mountain Range about an hour ago?
And now he's already back!
This...
Everyone was left in disbelief.
That place was supposed to be the deadliest map out there!
He cleared it in less than an hour?
