Chapter 45

There were no other items that made his eyes light up. Even the reward for the SSS evaluation was only an A-grade item.

In terms of attributes, it couldn't even compare to the set he was wearing.

"Bound equipment is such a waste!"

Luo Chenyu was full of helplessness.

Unless he wasted a general skill slot to learn the auxiliary skill [Decomposition], these bound items could only be destroyed or smelted.

Either way, it was a huge loss.

After thinking about it, he gave up.

Continue deep into Yangshan, start the grand plan of leveling up!

Boom!!

Boom!!

……

A series of violent roars echoed deep within the mountains.

That was the commotion caused by Luo Chenyu’s leveling, sounding like "mountain-opening cannons" as he continuously bombarded the monsters and the body of Yangshan.

Everywhere he passed.

It was a scene of utter devastation.

"Ding, killed Level 35 common monster [Forest Owl Beast], gained 1205 experience points!"

"Ding, killed Level 37 common monster [Forest Owl Beast], gained 1369 experience points!"

"Ding, killed Level 35 common elite monster [Owl Beast Patroller], gained 150,500 experience points!"

……

Notification messages flashed before his eyes incessantly.

As Luo Chenyu continued his advance, the level of the monsters gradually increased.

His experience points were also rising steadily.

Killing monsters above one's level grants an experience bonus.

With a shield bombardment every ten seconds, his efficiency was extremely high.

In less than half an hour from the start, his level had already reached LV.13.

The speed was shockingly fast.

The only disappointing aspect was the drop rate in the wild, which was so low it was infuriating; after fighting so many monsters, only one potion had dropped.

It was no wonder many professionals flocked to dungeons and secret realms.

You at least wouldn't return empty-handed from a dungeon; although the quality and attributes of the items might be mediocre, and they were bound, at least they existed!

Secret realms were even more extraordinary; having been through a Tier 1 special secret realm once, Luo Chenyu naturally knew the benefits within.

"Let's go to Jianfeng and test out the Level 50 monsters!"

Whether for a professional or a monster, Level 50 and the third transition is the true transformation.

From beginning to end.

Aside from [Steel Shield], Luo Chenyu had not used a single other skill.

It felt as if having one skill in hand was enough to conquer the world.

……

On the Yangshan mountain path.

Zhou Xiaoying and the others heard the massive roars echoing from time to time, their eyes filled with confusion.

"What is happening inside Yangshan? It's been ringing for so long."

"This sound sounds like a landslide, but I've never heard of landslides in Yangshan in all these years!"

"Could there be a big shot inside fighting monsters?"

The middle-aged man’s eyes showed a look of contemplation. He was a "veteran" team leader in Longshan City, leading novice professionals out to level up and teaching them professional knowledge so they could get started quickly.

Besides that, he would help lure monsters to improve the team's grinding efficiency.

And Yangshan was his base of operations.

He couldn't afford for anything strange to happen that would cost him this "iron rice bowl."

At this moment.

Zhou Xiaoying quietly came to the man's side and asked worriedly, "Uncle Wu, is the silent one in danger?"

"Probably not."

The man thought of Luo Chenyu’s provocative gaze, and his heart trembled slightly. He said, "Don't worry, the dungeon he went to isn't far from here, and the place where the sound is coming from is very far away."

"Phew, that's good!"

Zhou Xiaoying stared deep into Yangshan, where endless peaks lay, the paradise of the Owl Beasts.

"You all need to improve your coordination, focus on grinding and leveling up, and strive to reach Level 10 within seven days. That way, I can answer to your parents."

The team members nodded one after another. As long as they reached Level 10 and completed their class advancement, they would have a chance to enter the top ten universities in the Profound Dragon Kingdom.

However, not long after.

A violent roar erupted, inevitably drawing everyone's attention.

"Holy crap, Jianfeng has collapsed!!"

"How is that possible? Jianfeng has been perfectly fine for so many years, and now it's just gone!"

"It's said that to make Jianfeng collapse, at least a Tier 5 mage would need to bombard it hundreds of times. How long has it been since the sound started, and Jianfeng has already fallen?"

"What on earth is happening inside?"

"Oh no... the Owl Beasts are rioting."

"Coach, what do we do?"

The collapse of Jianfeng, Yangshan's most unique landmark, not only left the students amazed and suspicious but also triggered a riot among all the Owl Beasts.

In an instant, countless Owl Beasts rushed out from the depths of the mountain forest.

The man frowned, drew a strange large blade, and said, "You all retreat to the parking lot first, I'll hold them off!"

……

Luo Chenyu did not know the situation of Zhou Xiaoying and the others.

Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to help at this moment.

Because, while dodging countless rocks, he was also evading the wind blade attacks of a Level 50 difficult BOSS, the [Night Owl King].

The continuous hunting of Level 50 [Night Owls] had finally caused the BOSS, the King of Night Owls, to lose its patience and intervene personally.

A Level 50 difficult BOSS.

Luo Chenyu could not see its attributes, but he could kill Level 50 small monsters with a single skill.

That meant there was a chance to kill a Level 50 difficult BOSS.

So he went for it.

The result was that he could indeed break its defense, but the explosive damage of [Steel Shield], only around 200,000, was less than 10% of the BOSS's massive health pool.

Its health recovery ability was simply too strong, and it even had healing skills, quickly pulling its health back up.

Moreover, the [Night Owl King] also possessed a despair-inducing shield ability.

It even had a flight ability that made Luo Chenyu extremely envious.

The [Night Owl King]'s gale attacks were also blocked by Luo Chenyu's shield, causing no fatal damage, while the more powerful wind blades were dodged by him using the terrain.

For a time, the man and the monster were at a stalemate.

Until Jianfeng, unable to withstand Luo Chenyu’s shield bombardment and the [Night Owl King]'s violent attacks, collapsed with a crash.

"Grandson, your nest is gone!"

While dodging, Luo Chenyu did not forget to taunt the [Night Owl King].

He knew the [Night Owl King] could understand the meaning.

"Awoo!!"

The [Night Owl King] let out a mournful cry, the ferocity in its eyes fully exposed.

Accompanying its sound, a tornado rapidly formed in front of it.

"Opportunity!"

Luo Chenyu was overjoyed, for when the [Night Owl King] summoned the tornado, its shield vanished, and it switched into a state of Super Armor.
