Chapter 96: Jianfeng Collapsed! The Ultimate Explosion!

Boom!!

Boom!!

……

Loud booming sounds rang out in the deep mountains.

That was Luo Chenyu leveling up—the noise like a "mountain-splitting cannon," continuously blasting monsters and the body of Yangshan.

Wherever he passed.

Everything was in ruins.

"Ding, defeated Tier 35 normal monster 【Forest Owl Beasts】, gained 1205 experience points!"

"Ding, defeated Tier 37 normal monster 【Forest Owl Beasts】, gained 1369 experience points!"

"Ding, defeated Tier 35 elite monster 【Owl Patrol】, gained 150500 experience points!"

……

Prompt messages flashed continuously before his eyes.

As Luo Chenyu advanced further, the monster levels gradually increased.

His experience points also kept rising.

Killing monsters above your level grants experience bonuses.

A shield blast every ten seconds—extremely efficient.

In less than half an hour since he started, his level had reached LV. 13.

The speed was astonishing.

The only thing less than satisfactory was the drop rate in the wild—ridiculously low; after killing so many monsters, he'd only gotten one potion.

No wonder many professionals flocked to dungeons and Secret Realms.

At least dungeons never left you empty-handed; though the item quality and stats were mediocre and bound, at least you got something!

Secret Realms were even more extraordinary—Luo Chenyu had experienced one Tier 1 Special Secret Realm and knew its benefits firsthand.

"Head to Jianfeng and test Tier 50 monsters!"

Whether professionals or monsters, Tier 50 Class Change Advancement was the true transformation.

From start to finish.

Luo Chenyu had used no skill except 【Steel Shield】.

It felt as if having just this one skill meant he owned the world.

……

On the path of Yangshan.

Zhou Xiaoying and the others heard the occasional thunderous booms nearby, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

"What's happening inside Yangshan? Why's it been roaring for so long?"

"This sound sounds like a landslide, but Yangshan's never had a landslide in all these years!"

"Could there be a top-tier player fighting monsters inside?"

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed in thought—he was a "seasoned" leader from Longshan City, guiding new professionals on leveling runs and teaching them professional knowledge to help them adapt quickly.

He also helped draw aggro to boost the team's farming efficiency.

Yangshan was his base of operations.

He couldn't afford anything strange happening and losing this "iron rice bowl."

At this moment.

Zhou Xiaoying quietly approached the man and asked anxiously: "Uncle Wu, is Muteboy in danger?"

"Probably not."

The man recalled Luo Chenyu's defiant gaze and felt a slight shiver in his chest: "Don't worry—he went to a dungeon not far from here, but the sound came from much farther away."

"Phew, good!"

Zhou Xiaoying stared into the depths of Yangshan—endless peaks, the owls' paradise.

"You all coordinate better, focus on farming and leveling—aim to reach Level 10 within seven days. That way, I can answer to your parents."

The team members nodded; if they reached Level 10 and completed Class Change Advancement, they still had a chance to enter one of the top ten universities in Xuanlong Nation.

Yet, not long after.

A violent boom erupted, drawing everyone's gaze.

"Holy shit, Jianfeng collapsed!!"

"How's that possible? Jianfeng stood untouched for so many years—and now it's gone?!"

"They say you'd need a Tier 5 mage to blast it hundreds of times in a row to bring it down—how could it fall after only this much noise?"

"What the hell happened inside?!"

"Bad… the Owl Beasts are going berserk."

"Coach, what do we do?!"

The collapse of Jianfeng, Yangshan's most unique landmark, didn't just shock and confuse the students—it triggered a full-scale berserk among all the Owl Beasts.

Instantly, countless Owl Beasts poured out from the depths of the forest.

The man frowned tightly, drew a strange greatsword, and said: "You all retreat to the parking lot—I'll hold them off!"

……

Luo Chenyu didn't know what Zhou Xiaoying and the others were facing.

Even if he did, he couldn't help them now.

Because, while dodging countless falling boulders, he was also dodging the wind blades of a Tier 50 Hard Boss: 【Night Owl King】.

The continuous pursuit and killing of 50-level 【Night Owl】 enemies finally drove the Night Owl King, the boss, to lose patience and intervene personally.

A 50-level hard boss.

Luo Chenyu couldn't see its stats, but he could one-shot a 50-level minion with a single skill.

Then there was a chance to kill the 50-level hard boss.

So he charged in.

The result was that he could indeed break through its defense, but the explosion damage from the 【Steel Shield】 dealt only 200,000 damage—less than 10% of the boss's massive health pool.

Its health regeneration was far too strong; it even had a healing skill, and its health quickly recovered.

Moreover, the 【Night Owl King】 possessed equally despair-inducing shield abilities.

It even had flight ability, which Luo Chenyu greatly coveted.

The 【Night Owl King】's gale attacks were 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 locked in stalemate.

Until Jianfeng, unable to withstand Luo Chenyu's shield bombardment and the 【Night Owl King】's furious assault, collapsed with a thunderous crash.

"You bastard, your nest is gone!"

As Luo Chenyu dodged, he couldn't resist taunting the 【Night Owl King】.

He knew the 【Night Owl King】 understood the meaning.

"Aaaoo!!"

The 【Night Owl King】 let out a mournful cry, its eyes blazing with unmasked ferocity.

With its cry, a Long Juanfeng rapidly formed before it.

"Opportunity!"

Luo Chenyu rejoiced, for when the 【Night Owl King】 summoned the Long Juanfeng, its shield vanished, replaced by invincibility.
