Chapter 546

Xue Jiulan said in surprise, taking a chessboard out of her storage ring.

"Is it fast? I estimated I should be at least 40% of the way to level 35 by now."

After the opening ceremony,

Li Yao spent one day reaching level 32,

and then took Shang Yana to soak in a large dungeon called 【Deep Sea Labyrinth】.

In a large dungeon,

because enough practitioners enter,

even at the same level and grade, the monster strength far exceeds that of a small dungeon!

Li Yao brought 39 students who were just there to tag along.

With his damage contribution maxed out, Li Yao could individually claim 20% of the experience points for every monster.

The experience gain was extremely exaggerated!

That was why Li Yao estimated he could reach 40% of level 35 today.

Clearly,

he had underestimated the difficulty of leveling up!

After level 30, the experience required for each level was worlds apart.

From level 34 to 35,

even for someone like Li Yao,

dragging thirty-nine people along, it took a full four days to level up!

If it were ordinary Jingyu students

grinding dungeons of their own level, it would generally take about a month.

Ordinary practitioners would only be slower!

This was also why,

in four years at Jingyu,

most graduating students were between level 40 and 50.

Those who could break through the fourth advancement and reach level 60 upon graduation

were almost all deputy-captain-level students.

As for the captain level,

there was no limit on graduation time;

they could enjoy Jingyu's benefits indefinitely.

These days, Li Yao had also heard of a Jingyu captain,

Lin Zhouting,

who had broken through the fifth advancement half a year ago to become a level 80 practitioner.

His strength was extremely formidable!

It had only taken him five and a half years to go from level 25 to 80.

Looking globally, that was an extremely fast speed!

However,

Li Yao glanced at the senior Xue in front of him.

She must have been even faster!

Xue Jiulan pointed to the chessboard between them:

"Are you ready?"

Li Yao nodded solemnly.

The Dark Wing Black Dragon and the Tiger Armor followed the two elderly men to the training room next door.

Qin Xuejun also went along.

Her 'momentum' hadn't yet been refined to the level where she could practice this.

This chessboard was called 【The Beginning of the Game】,

an SSS-tier functional item,

and one of the most precious items in Jingyu.

Every deputy-captain-level student, when promoting to captain level,

needed to follow their mentor and use 【The Beginning of the Game】 to hone their own momentum.

Xue Jiulan placed a piece,

her aura surging high,

as if a prehistoric giant beast were standing before him.

Li Yao even found it hard to catch his breath.

It had been several days, and he still wasn't quite used to it,

Li Yao thought to himself.

He picked up a black piece and placed it on the board.

"Don't put all your attention into condensing your momentum; come, chat with me," Xue Jiulan smiled, placing another piece.

The moment the piece landed,

an invisible pressure descended, and sweat seeped out of Li Yao, dampening the hair on his forehead.

Li Yao gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice:

"Chat about what?"

"Let's talk about the Jianyan dungeon?" Xue Jiulan wasn't in a hurry, waiting for Li Yao to move, and said casually, "The day after tomorrow is when the Jianyan Grotto opens again."

"Do you need my help to kill that SS-tier practitioner?"

"There is indeed one thing I need the teacher's help with!"

Li Yao finally made his move again.

His aura surged by a significant margin!

As their auras clashed, the air became viscous.

If an ordinary third-advancement practitioner were to step in here, they might find it difficult even to stand!

"Not bad!" Xue Jiulan exclaimed in surprise,

then asked, "What is it?"

"When that dungeon opens, if possible, try to keep other students from entering the Jianyan dungeon."

"Why?" Xue Jiulan asked, puzzled.

"If we can guess that Isaac will enter the dungeon on that day, then they can guess it too."

"His final provocative gesture might just be to lure me into the dungeon the day after tomorrow."

"The Eagle Nation will likely set a trap, waiting for me to go," Li Yao said with a slightly grave expression.

Xue Jiulan raised an eyebrow: "So, you're not letting other students in because you don't want them to encounter danger?"

"Something like that; there are too many people, and I can't look after them all," Li Yao said calmly.

Xue Jiulan: "Knowing there are tigers in the mountain, you still head toward the mountain?"

"Tigers?"

Li Yao placed a piece, his aura reaching its peak.

The violently blood-red aura seemed to condense into substance.

Even Xue Jiulan couldn't help but click her tongue in secret.

How many days had it been?

And he could already skillfully control his own momentum?

"Teacher, do you think they, in front of me,"

"are worthy of being called tigers?" ===== CHAPTER 548 =====
