Chapter 10

They recognized at a glance that this was the "phenomenon" of an SSS rating.

Every year in the novice dungeon, quite a few professionals achieved an SSS rating, but it was extremely rare in Longshan City, mainly because the difficulty of the [Goblin Cave] was ranked among the top in the entire Profound Dragon Kingdom.

Thus, the moment the light erupted, they all held their breath and stared at the dungeon entrance.

A graceful figure slowly walked out.

Seeing this, An Chen flashed over to the dungeon entrance. "Xingtong, you did it!"

Ye Xingtong's eyes curved like crescent moons as she gave a sweet smile. "Grandpa Principal, I didn't let you down, did I?"

"Of course not!" An Chen smiled kindly, his fierce features softening. "Your parents will be so happy when they find out!"

"Hmph... they're busy being lovey-dovey at the Blood Great Wall; how could they remember me, their daughter!"

Her tone was filled with resentment and deep longing.

The Blood Great Wall, located in the land of extreme cold, was the most important border pass of the Profound Dragon Kingdom; it was not a real wall, but a defensive line forged with flesh and blood.

Beyond it lay endless spatial rifts.

Countless fierce beasts and demonic filth attacked the defensive line day and night, just to invade Blue Star and turn this fertile land into a wasteland.

"You, oh you..."

An Chen shook his head and changed the subject: "What are your plans now?"

"Of course, it's to go level up! I'll strive to reach level 10 within 7 days to complete my advanced class transfer. I want to go to the East Sea Military Academy!"

"Ambitious!"

Facing Ye Xingtong's aspirations, An Chen was very satisfied. "Then you must work hard!"

The East Sea Military Academy was the only military school in the East Sea Province and one of the best in the Profound Dragon Kingdom. Its ultimate destination was the Blood Great Wall to protect the country!

"I've always been working hard!"

Ye Xingtong clenched her small fists, but her eyes were darting around, searching for a certain figure.

An Chen said speechlessly, "He's a Defense Warrior; how could he come out as fast as you..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

A violent light erupted from the dungeon entrance again, its dazzling seven-colored brilliance completely surpassing the SSS rating "phenomenon" of Ye Xingtong.

"What happened?!"

"A light even more blinding than SSS? Could it be the legendary SSSS? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"For hundreds of years, even SSS hidden class users wearing top-tier equipment entering the dungeon haven't achieved an SSSS rating!"

"Who exactly is it?"

Amidst the confused voices, a large, blurry shadow appeared within the seven-colored light.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the seven-colored light faded.

Revealing the true form!

Ye Xingtong exclaimed immediately: "The Mute!"

………………

"Luo Chenyu!"

An Chen was stunned, his expression revealing disbelief.

"You, what kind of rating did you actually get?"

The tone was the same.

Achieving an SSSS rating as a Defense Warrior—if this got out, where would those SSS hidden class users put their faces?

And in such a public setting, it would be impossible to keep it from leaking.

Tomorrow...

No, today's trending topics will definitely include this!

"SSSS rating!"

Luo Chenyu did not choose to hide it; in fact, he knew he couldn't. That seven-colored light was like a beacon in the dark night.

But he didn't care at all.

As he said before, as long as he demonstrated his value, many things would be easily resolved.

At least in Longshan City, An Chen was enough to protect him.

"Principal??"

Seeing An Chen unresponsive, Luo Chenyu called out again and even waved his hand in front of him.

After a while, An Chen recovered from his shock and called out repeatedly, "Good, good, good..."

How did he do it?

None of that mattered anymore. Unless Luo Chenyu said it himself, no one could force him.

This was An Chen's confidence.

"Um... can you give me the reward now!"

An Chen: "..."

So anxious for a first-tier special skill book for a Defense Warrior?

He shook his head and said, "Since you've achieved an SSSS rating, using a first-tier special skill book as a reward would make me look stingy. I'll get you a second-tier one when we go back!"

There's such a good thing!

As expected of the principal of Longhai First Middle School, he was generous.

But Luo Chenyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you sell [Guardian Shield Wall] to me as well?"

"Sell?"

An Chen laughed, tossed a sky-blue skill book over, and said, "It's just a first-tier skill book, consider it a gift!"

Luo Chenyu was surprised for a moment, then scratched his head and laughed.

"Thank you, Prin... Holy crap... what are you doing!!"

Luo Chenyu looked down, dumbfounded, at the little girl hanging on him like a koala, his hands raised in the air, somewhat at a loss.

In his past life, he was just a single guy; how had he ever seen such a scene?

At most, only in a club... ahem...

"Mute, you're so amazing!!"

Ye Xingtong looked up, her eyes full of stars.

Admiration!

At this moment, she only had this one word in her heart.

As an S-rank hidden class user, and with her in-depth study of the [Goblin Cave], she was only able to achieve an SSS rating in the shortest possible time; she knew the difficulty herself.

You have to know, when facing the BOSS, she only used 3 burst skills to kill the final BOSS.

During that time, it was less than 10 seconds.

But she never expected that the Mute would actually get an SSSS rating.

Directly pressing her... surpassing her.

"Tell sister, how exactly did you do it?"

"Get down first!"

Ye Xingtong pouted, "No, if you don't tell me, I won't get down!"

Luo Chenyu: "..."

In public, how could she be so impolite!

The next moment, Luo Chenyu activated [Steel Shield], embodying a "steel straight man," and used his hands to support Ye Xingtong's arms and pull her down.

"I'll tell you when I have time!"

Luo Chenyu ignored Ye Xingtong's resentful gaze and turned to look at An Chen.

"Principal, I want to apply to go to the outskirts of Longyuan Valley to level up!"

"Grandpa Principal, I want to go with the Mute too!"

An Chen's face was full of a "grandfatherly" smile. Facing their proposal, he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Luo can go, but remember to return to the city before nightfall."

He then turned his gaze to Ye Xingtong. "As for Xingtong, come with me to the Education Department later; there are some things that require your personal presence!"
