Chapter 117: Holy Light Knight, Mythic Tier Profession

As the sound rang out, a figure stepped forward from the team that Lin Caier was in.

Someone moved close, his gaze fixed firmly on Jiang Chen.

He wore Knight armor, sword in his right hand and shield in his left, clearly a Knight.

But unlike Wu Lingdong's Holy Knight profession, he is a Holy Light Knight, a Mythic-level Profession.

The two differ by only one character, yet the levels they represent are completely different.

Holy Light Knights not only inherit Holy Knights' skills, but also possess a unique Aura skill, giving them strong attack and defense in battle.

The Aura skill is extremely powerful—forward it attacks, backward it defends, and it can also provide Control, making Holy Light Knights instantly a rare Mythic Tier Profession.

Wu Lingdong looked at the Holy Light Knight, a hint of envy in his eyes, because the Holy Light Knight has always been his dream and the pursuit of many Knight-type professionals.

However, Yang Qin whispered beside him, "Don't be jealous; you also have a chance."

Wu Lingdong is currently a Holy Knight, but during Second Transcendence and Third Transcendence he will have two chances to ascend into a Holy Light Knight.

Although the difficulty of ascension is great, he still holds a sliver of hope.

He nodded, knowing Yang Qin was comforting him: "Hmm, I understand."

The Holy Light Knight had already stepped before Jiang Chen, his gaze turning to Jiang Chen with a hint of caution.

Lin Caier, to ease the awkward atmosphere, hurriedly introduced, "He is my friend."

The Holy Light Knight nodded and introduced in a deep voice, "Ye Jinrong, Level 30, Holy Light Knight."

Jiang Chen also replied politely, "Jiang Chen, Level 23, Necromancer Summoner."

"

Ye Jinrong slightly frowned, seeming to doubt Jiang Chen's profession.

Necromancer Summoner—he had never heard of such a profession.

Lin Caier suddenly shouted excitedly, "Wow, you're already Level 23, how is that so fast? I'm only Level 21, how are you higher than me?"

She acted exaggeratedly and a bit petulant, as if pouting.

Jiang Chen smiled and replied, "No problem, I can level up with you."

Lin Caier quickly nodded in agreement, "Alright, alright!"

However, Ye Jinrong was not satisfied.

His expression was somewhat displeased.

"Cai Er, didn't we agree to farm the Instance together?"

Lin Caier giggled, "Sorry, thanks for agreeing to farm the Instance with me, but I don't need it now; my friend will take me, so I won't trouble you."

Ye Jinrong's complexion grew even worse, and when he looked at Jiang Chen, obvious hostility appeared.

Lin Caier widened her eyes, not quite understanding Ye Jinrong's meaning.

Ye Jinrong continued, "He's only Level 23; even he needs someone to farm the Instance for him, right? How could he carry you."

These words carried discontent and provocation, seemingly trying to display his displeasure before Jiang Chen.

However, Jiang Chen was indifferent to Ye Jinrong's attitude, paying no mind to his provocation.

Beside them, Yang Qin whispered to Wu Lingdong, "He's jealous."

Wu Lingdong nodded, "I can see it, the jealousy is strong."

Lin Caier said, "Don't worry about that; since he said he can take me, he surely can, anyway thanks for bringing me over."

Ye Jinrong remained displeased, but couldn't say anything.

His hostile gaze fixed on Jiang Chen, as if trying to see through him.

Jiang Chen was unfazed; he never gave Ye Jinrong any regard.

What does a Mythic-level Profession matter to him, anyway?

Even if you're Level 30, so what? If you should fight, fight; if you should kill, kill.

Seeing Jiang Chen ignore him so, Ye Jinrong felt even more displeased, yet found it hard to act on it.

After all, from start to finish, Jiang Chen never paid him any attention.

Instead, it made him seem a bit unreasonable.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Jinrong said gravely, "Fine, then you watch your own safety; if he can't, feel free to call me."

Lin Caier giggled, "Don't worry, he can do it."

Ye Jinrong didn't want to say more and walked back to his own team.

The team then entered the Instance.

Five people, needless to say, it's definitely Nightmare Difficulty.

Even with a Mythic-level Profession leading, they couldn't tackle Hell Difficulty; that would be no different from delivering dishes.

Unless all five are Mythic-level Professionals, there might be a chance to wrestle with Hell Difficulty monsters.

Seeing the five enter the Instance, Wu Lingdong also relaxed.

Earlier they thought the two sides might clash, but Wu Lingdong had already prepared for battle.

He is certainly on Jiang Chen's side; even if the opponent is a Mythic Tier Profession, he is unafraid.

Never fought before, who knows?

"Jiang junior, we're also going into the Instance, so we won't be making electric lamp Cannon here."

"Jiang junior, watch your safety."

"Jiang junior, don't just stare at the girls, pay attention to fighting monsters."

One by one they teased Jiang Chen, then turned and entered the Instance.

Lin Caier, blushed by their remarks, stamped her little foot and lightly spat, "What people, all nonsense."

Jiang Chen also felt a bit awkward, "Let's go to the Instance too."

Lin Cai'er immediately continued speaking.

: "Alright, alright, we can slack off again."

Jiang Chen knew that this girl, if she could slack off, would never work hard.

Otherwise, given her resources, she would already be above Level 21.

The two formed a party and arrived at the Instance Entrance; Lin Cai'er smiled and asked, "What difficulty are you taking me on, Normal or Nightmare?"

She was clear on the difficulty of the Outpost Instance; it surpasses most same‑level instances.

She knew Jiang Chen was strong, so clearing Normal was certainly no problem, perhaps Nightmare could be cleared too; as for Hell Difficulty, she instinctively dismissed it, never even considering it.

Then Lin Cai'er continued, "On Normal difficulty, the chance of the BOSS dropping a Crystal Core is very low; on Nightmare it's a bit higher, about one‑third chance.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "Hell."

Huh?

Lin Cai'er was stunned, then burst with strong joy, "Are you serious?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Really."

"Great, great! I've wanted to try Hell Difficulty for a long time!"

Lin Cai'er jumped up happily; she seemed to have considered no danger at all.

She also hadn't thought that Jiang Chen might fail the Hell Dungeon.

She believed Jiang Chen's words.

Since Jiang Chen mentioned Hell Difficulty, it must be fine.

Jiang Chen used a Cooldown Talisman, purging the cooldown.

"Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost" instance has a cooldown of up to 24 hours; he couldn't wait.

The two chose Hell Difficulty and entered the instance.

Their conversation wasn't whispered, and many people nearby in the instance heard them.

Everyone looked incredulous.

"Clearing a Hell Dungeon with just two people—how is that possible?"

"Exactly, even bragging has its limits."

"I remember the last group that cleared a Hell Dungeon,

they were from Shenlong University Dragon Clan Academy, right?"

"I also recall they had twelve members, with five Mythic‑level Professions, and their gear was top‑tier Gold Tier."

"I have a memory of a woman, very beautiful, wielding twin swords, seemed to be a particularly powerful profession."

"That was the Sword Blade Dancer, even among Mythological Class professions she ranks near the top."

"Even the Dragon Clan Academy needs a full roster to get through; these two trying to clear it will probably die inside."

"Maybe they just went in to see the scenery and then left."

A group chatted and laughed, as if they were waiting to watch Jiang Chen's show.

When Jiang Chen previously entered Hell Difficulty, some people were also ready to watch a joke.

Now, because of the Abyssal Demon Dog's raid, those people either died or returned to the Fortress.

Otherwise they'd be greatly surprised at how Jiang Chen managed to stay in the instance so long.

As time passed, more professionals arrived, and the Abyssal Demon Dog incident seemed as if it never happened.

Someone else began looking for teammates, setting up a stall and shouting.

The Instance Doorway grew increasingly lively.

Hell‑level Dungeon, the atmosphere oppressive and uncomfortable.

Fortunately there was no strong foul stench, otherwise Lin Cai'er would have covered her nose and complained again.

Just after entering the instance, Jiang Chen lightly tapped his head, "Forgot."

Lin Cai'er asked curiously, "Forgot what?"

Jiang Chen said, "I forgot to give you something; I'll give it to you after we finish."

Once inside, storage space was locked, and nothing could be taken out.

Jiang Chen originally intended to give the Hell Outpost Dagger to Lin Cai'er, but only remembered after entering.

But that's fine; after all Lin Cai'er is only Level 21 now, still far from Level 30,

and she'll get it after we finish, same as before.

Lin Cai'er giggled, "No rush, give it to me after we finish; I want to see what good thing it is."

"Alright."

140 Skeleton Warriors and 70 Skeleton Mages appeared simultaneously.

Jiang Chen simultaneously activated Bone Armor, for himself and for Lin Cai'er.

Lin Cai'er stared at the Bone Armor appearing on her, astonished, "Is this the defensive skill you applied to me?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "This is safer."

"Hehe, you're so nice!"

Lin Cai'er was overjoyed, laughing like a sprite.

On the second entry, Jiang Chen didn't pull any mobs.

He also didn't use the large‑area Slow Curse, opting instead to clear monsters bit by bit.

The Dragon Race monsters in the instance, aside from assassins, each possessed Control skills.

Pulling mobs for a group kill is not only dangerous but yields little efficiency; it's better to proceed methodically.

After the upgrade, Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Mages had their attributes reinforced again.

The attack power is higher than before.

Moreover, Jiang Chen has the previous experience, so fighting is even more smooth.

In the blink of an eye, he cleared the three Longzu Changqiangbing on the road.

Then the Skeletons entered the small forest from the left side and began clearing the way.

Lin Caier's eyes lit up as she watched, "Looks so easy."

Jiang Chen smiled, "Indeed, it's not difficult."

Lin Caier stuck out her tongue, "It's not hard for you, but for others it would be as hard as scaling the heavens."

Even a Nightmare-level Dungeon has you constantly dying and reviving; it's never that easy.

Since I have a good eye, I'll follow you to level up; you may not refuse to team up with me.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "No."

Lin Caier instantly broke into a smile.
