Chapter 286

the one she encountered was indeed a hidden BOSS!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to let Li Yao go challenge it.

It's just that she didn't expect

that this kid Li Yao could actually take it down!

"The old principal and I are both fist-type warrior professionals."

Xue Xue Jiulan put the core component away: "You want to contract it when you reach level 40, right?"

"That's still a few days away."

"Principal Hua will also be going to that Primal Dungeon; I'll help you pass it to her and try to have it delivered to you before you reach level 40."

"Do I need to pay any reward?" Li Yao asked, "Refining something like this shouldn't be easy, right?"

"Do you think Principal Hua would accept a reward from you?" Xue Xue Jiulan asked with a smile.

"Go level up properly."

"I've said it before, Principal Hua thinks very highly of you."

Returning to the dormitory,

there was a green note hanging on the doorplate.

This was a notification that there was a package.

Li Yao went to the dormitory delivery point again

and retrieved a package.

Back in his room,

Li Yao searched online for the news about Linbei City over the past few days.

To highlight the role of professionals for humanity,

the Federation announces every war that breaks out.

While listening to the radio, Li Yao unpacked the package.

"Last night, a Primal Dungeon was born in the southwest of Linbei City; our country's top professionals and the military's volunteer army are gathering rapidly."

"Currently, Linbei City has entered a first-level combat alert; it is preliminarily estimated that the alert level will continue to rise."

"The first batch of raids will begin at nine tomorrow morning."

"Raid team members: Principal Hua Hua Qianshuang of the First Military Academy; General Sha Heng; General Xue Xue Jiulan."

"Linbei Wartime News Network will update you on the raid progress in real-time."

Li Yao held the half-opened package in his hand,

silent, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

It's not like he hasn't raided a Primal Dungeon before.

That time,

it was just the military stationed there, with high-ranking officers coming to coordinate and command.

But this time,

the dungeon hasn't even been raided yet, and it has already entered a first-level combat alert!

"It seems the teacher was right; the war might really be starting."

"I wonder if I have the qualifications to participate with my current strength."

Li Yao does not like war.

War means life and death.

Even at the smallest scale,

no one can guarantee that a war can be ended with zero casualties.

But,

if war cannot be prevented and is bound to happen,

then Li Yao craves war, craves to join the battlefield!

On one hand, he can kill the enemy and save the country.

Ask yourself, what man doesn't have a heart full of hot blood?

On the other hand, and this is the main reason,

war means endless abyss monsters!

For him,

that means countless experience points and inexhaustible power attributes!

By participating in the war,

his strength will soar at an unbelievable speed!

Li Yao,

he wants to progress too much!

The package was opened, revealing two white translucent round stones.

【Psychic Stone S1 (Item)】

【Quality: S-rank】

【Introduction: Produced by the final boss of the Lookout Tower (Purgatory-level), it is one of the core materials for crafting Psychic Rings; it can also be used to contract a living creature and allow it to learn a skill book.】

【Restriction: For each contracted creature, the S1 series Psychic Stone can only be used once.】

"Series item? S1?"

Li Yao said in surprise,

a flash of joy in his eyes.

Letting a summoned beast learn a professional's skill book

is already an act of defying heaven and changing fate!

He had originally prepared himself

for the idea that each chess piece could only learn one skill book!

If there is an S1,

there must be an S2!

As long as he finds the drop location for the S2 series Psychic Stone,

he can let his chess pieces continue to improve!

As for the S1,

there are currently ways to collect them.

Li Yao lay on the bed, closing his eyes and pondering.

For Gain-A-Yat, he will use that 【Surface Skin Vitality】 book

to continue enhancing its sustained output capability.

The Devourer needs a taunt skill.

Kha'Zix has 【Combat Training】, so it needs a large-scale physical group damage skill.

The Blue Bird and the Immortal Thunder Rat are positioned as support,

so it's best to have survival skills.

As for that Tiger Beetle guy,

let's get it a status skill that allows it to sustain itself through battle!

A displacement skill wouldn't be bad either.

While pondering,

Li Yao drifted off to sleep.

The next day,

the 【Core Jianyan Caverns】 still opened at ten in the morning.

Li Yao slept in for once.

At nine-thirty, he arrived at the dungeon room.

Unlike last time,

Xue Xue Jiulan implemented Li Yao's suggestion

and did not let ordinary students participate in this competitive dungeon.

There weren't many people in the room,

and most of them were Li Yao's acquaintances.

The knight Wei Hai

and the other knights from last time were all there,

along with five healing-type professionals.

For some reason,

of the healing-type professionals Li Yao had seen,

at least ninety percent

were female professionals.

And these five were all girls!

Seeing Li Yao come over,

the lead healing professional nodded at Li Yao.

The others

were holding their communicators, their fingers sliding constantly,

occasionally glancing at Li Yao, their faces flushing red,

and then quickly looking away.

Wei Hai, with the other nine knights, walked up to Li Yao.

"Li Yao, you're here!"

The smile on Wei Hai's face couldn't be hidden at all:

"You have no idea!"

"Dean Xue is truly generous!"

"The contribution for this time is a full double what it was before!"

"Haha, it's so awesome!"

Li Yao, however, asked suspiciously: "Entering this time might be a bit different; didn't the teacher explain it clearly to you?"

"I know, isn't it just to go chop off that guy Isaac's dog head?"

Li Yao felt it was necessary to make it clear to him.

"We might encounter other professionals from the Eagle Kingdom; their strength shouldn't be weak."

"Don't worry, when we accepted the mission, Dean Xue explained it very clearly."

"But," Wei Hai said with an 'it's only natural' expression, "aren't you here? Those foreign devils, could they possibly be more terrifying than a runaway BOSS?"

Li Yao: "..."

"By the way," Wei Hai glanced at the time and said, "there's one more who hasn't arrived; she said she knows you. Do you want to send her a message and ask where she is?"

"Who?"

"She didn't say. She looks like she's hard to get along with, so I didn't ask."

"Judging by her accent, she should be from the Sakura Kingdom, and she's as beautiful as a celestial being!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other knight professionals behind him immediately teased him with a laugh:

"Is that you seeing that she's hard to get along with?"

"You're just seeing that she's too beautiful and you're afraid to ask her name! Haha!"

"Seriously, you can't blame the boss either. I've never seen such a good-looking girl; I thought she was some big celebrity. If it were me, I wouldn't dare either."

The next moment,

as they were talking, that knight suddenly froze in place.

"Holy crap, she even put on makeup today!"

"She's like a fairy."

When they mentioned a person from the Sakura Kingdom,

Li Yao knew it was Kujou Mise.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were rippling with light, and her thin lips were naturally tinged with a hint of charm.

Her soft hair was coiled up, with a bamboo hairpin stuck through it.

Wearing a loose, light-colored kimono, it couldn't hide her well-endowed figure that was ready to burst forth.

The most eye-catching thing

was the hem of her kimono,

those jade legs wrapped in white silk,

round and full, looming and visible.

Above her knees,

the tight white silk pressed against her thighs, creating shallow grooves,

giving a sense of purity and seductive mystery,

forming a strong visual contrast with Kujou Mise's cold temperament.

Even Li Yao

couldn't help but take a few extra looks.

Kujou Mise walked to the side,

her eyes slightly playful: "Do you like legs?"

Li Yao: "?"

"If you like them, keep looking."

Kujou Mise turned slightly to the side,

making the angle more convenient for Li Yao to admire.

"My legs are indeed naturally perfect."

Li Yao: "???"

"As expected of Big Brother Li Yao."

Those knights immediately gathered together, watching the two with gossip-filled eyes, whispering to each other.

"Isn't that right? His business has even expanded overseas."

"Not to mention anything else, Big Brother Li Yao's life is my dream!"

While they were chatting,

the teleportation vortex turned green, indicating it was passable.

Li Yao created a team and invited everyone to join.

He leaped into the vortex.

Knowing that the other side would set a trap,

being even a step late

could mean an extra risk!

【Warning! An unknown error has occurred in the Core Jianyan Caverns!】

【The competitive dungeon has evolved into a rivalry dungeon!】

【Protection between professionals is canceled; you can attack each other!】

【Expected to return to normal in eighteen hours!】

【Do you choose to enter?】

"Oh?"

Li Yao raised an eyebrow.

"There's such a good thing?"
