Chapter 383: Jiang Chen, you smelly brat, let go of your pig trotters

The monsters on the Second Plateau are stronger than those on the First Plateau; their level has already risen to 47.

Their species have also changed markedly, shifting from antelopes and dire wolves to male lions and ferocious tigers, with both attack power and speed noticeably increased.

However, whether level 47 or 48, the difference is negligible for the Undead Legion.

Where the Undead Legion passes, only desolation remains.

Jiang Chen and Lin Caier stroll across the Second Plateau, where the wind is harsher and the temperature has dropped a bit.

In the distance a white layer seems visible, as if snow has fallen.

Lin Caier continues to recount the story of the "Beast God Plateau" Instance.

"Back then, to relocate the 'Beast God Plateau' Instance here, the Shenlong Empire mobilized a full nine Divine-level Strongmen."

"Moving a Large-scale Dungeon is far more difficult than moving an ordinary Instance, and this particular one is exceptionally hard."

"Its difficulty even surpasses that of the Super-large Dungeon in the Dungeon Hall."

"Do you know why?"

Jiang Chen shakes his head, "Not really."

Lin Caier comes from a distinguished family, and her grandfather oversees the Dungeon Hall, knowing many anecdotes and secrets within it.

Lin Caier continues as if presenting a treasure, "Because this Instance contains the Beast God True Body."

Beast God True Body? Jiang Chen has never heard of it and knows nothing about its meaning.

Lin Caier goes on, "Actually I don't know what the Beast God True Body is, but grandpa said it's related to the Beast God, which seems to be a kind of deity."

Jiang Chen is startled, "A deity."

It's actually connected to a deity.

"Grandpa said the reason this Instance is called 'Beast God Plateau' is because it's right here."

"The Beast God True Body refreshes every three years, and only the team that first slays it each time receives a reward."

"Moreover, the reward varies depending on how quickly the team defeats it."

"So far the only known case is a team from the Dragon Clan Academy; they took 40 minutes to kill it and obtained a Beast God Bone, a piece smaller than a fingernail."

"It can be used to forge BOSS Jewelry."

Mentioning BOSS Jewelry, Jiang Chen suddenly stops in his tracks.

Lin Caier looks puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chen pulls out a small box and hands it to her, "I forgot this before; I'm giving it to you."

"What the—!" Lin Caier opens the box, and a peculiar aura belonging to BOSS Jewelry spreads out from it.

Lin Caier'er's eyes light up, "Wow, BOSS Jewelry! Where did you get it? Be honest."

Her tone is both delighted and mischievous.

Jiang Chen says, "My teacher gave it to me after Second Transcendence, but I can't use it."

He explains to Lin Caier that he cannot equip it.

Lin Caier'er lets out a soft "oh," closes the box, and hands it back to Jiang Chen.

"You don't want it?" Jiang Chen asks, a bit puzzled, noting that Lin Caier'er's excitement earlier wasn't fake.

Lin Caier'er lifts her hand, showing the Goblin King's Ring that Jiang Chen gave her.

Although it is also BOSS Jewelry, its attributes are considerably weaker than the three items in the box.

Lin Caier'er says proudly, "I'm fine with this; I'll keep the others tucked away for future use."

Jiang Chen replies oddly, "It was already a gift to you; what else could it be for?"

Lin Caier'er blushes, "You fool, of course it's for a marriage proposal."

Jiang Chen scratches his head and finally understands.

According to Shenlong Empire customs, a marriage proposal requires a betrothal gift.

Even if one holds the rank of Divine General, or later becomes a Divine-level Strongman, a betrothal gift is still required.

Therefore, the three pieces of BOSS Jewelry are naturally the best betrothal gifts.

"That girl…"

Jiang Chen lets out a helpless laugh; Lin Caier'er thinks far ahead of him.

With that in mind, Jiang Chen simply puts the box away.

He'll give it to her when the proposal comes.

Since he's there, Lin Caier'er basically won't need to join the fight.

Their relationship seems to have grown a bit closer, and before they know it they reach the edge of the plateau.

They see the ridge connecting the Second Plateau and the Third Plateau, as well as a narrow Canyon.

From above, countless serpentine beasts can be seen within the Canyon.

All sizes of poisonous snakes and pythons stretch beyond count.

Even the boss guarding the bridge is a massive python over thirty meters long.

Seeing so many snakes, Lin Caier'er's face turns pale, "I'm not going down."

Jiang Chen chuckles, spreads his Lightning Wings, and rushes into the Canyon with the Undead Army.

Moments later, a series of booming sounds echo through the Canyon.

"Kill a level‑47 Canyon Python, EXP +940,000."

"Obtain Snake Skin ×2."

"Kill a level‑47 White‑eye Venomous Snake, EXP +940,000."

"Obtain Snake Skin ×2."

Experience numbers pop wildly, dozens to hundreds of messages each time, and Lin Caier'er can't keep up.

Other classes can only kill one at a time; even a mage's Group Attack Skill cannot kill so many enhanced Elite Monsters in one go.

Only Jiang Chen can do this.

At this moment, Lin Caier feels as if she is holding Jiang Chen back.

Otherwise, Jiang Chen's level‑up speed could be doubled.

But on second thought, she'll eventually marry him, taking advantage of her future husband, which is only natural, right?

Lin Caier'er's skin instantly becomes very thick, as if she's donned ten layers of shield, "As the saying goes, marry the chicken and follow the chicken; husband levels up with wife, it's only proper."

The two plateaus together contain over 5,000 monsters, providing a large amount of experience for the two of them.

Since entering the Instance, the experience has already increased by 3℅.

Lin Caier'er's increase is more, up by 4℅.

Jiang Chen is already Level 42; the experience required for level up exceeds that of Level 40 Lin Caier'er.

Given the same amount of experience gained, Lin Caier'er's experience percentage increase surpasses Jiang Chen's.

When Jiang Chen whooshes out from the bottom of the Canyon, the battle on the bridge also reaches its end.

Jiang Chen finds that he wasn't mistaken; there is indeed snow on Plateau No. 3.

Although the temperature is very low, it's nothing at all for the two of them.

The two of them admire the snowy scenery while moving forward.

As for monster‑killing, it's completely left to the Undead Legion.

In another layer of the "Beast God Plateau" Instance.

The Creation Academy's team is fighting wildly.

Advancing and retreating in orderly Compatibility, the five Knights are like nails nailed at the front of the team, blocking all monster attacks.

The healer at the rear provides Control for them.

Mages and archers stand on pillars dealing damage, their dazzling Skills continuously erupt.

Compared with other teams, theirs also includes two Control‑type supports.

Control‑type supports are specifically responsible for controlling the battle rhythm, easing the Knights' pressure.

There is also an Assassin who appears and disappears in the team; he occasionally leaves the formation, pulls monsters on the road ahead into the mage's Group Attack Skill range, accelerating kill speed.

"We need to act faster; we can't let the Dragon Race and Flame Emperor teams get ahead."

"Three years ago, the Dragon Race team beat us to slay the Beast God's true form; this time we'll take the top spot."

Lin Tian Ce shouted loudly, "This time the Creation Academy's raid on 'Beast God Plateau' is led by Lin Tian Ce."

He could have leveled up already, but because of the "Beast God Plateau" Instance, he was forced to stay at Level 50.

Not about saving face but about bragging rights, this time the Creation Academy is determined to win.

Flame Emperor Academy is the same; their team has already advanced to Plateau No. 2, and their progress isn't slower than the other two teams.

Each time the "Beast God Plateau" Instance refreshes, the three academies come together, like a competition.

Most of the time, the winner is the Dragon Clan Academy.

The Creation Academy and Flame Emperor Academy have only occasionally each won twice.

In a conference room of the university, several senior officials of the university gather together.

The deans of the three Top Academies are present.

Creation Academy Dean: Yi Qianfan.

Dragon Clan Academy Dean: Luo Jiuding.

Flame Emperor Academy Dean: Luo Shuihan.

Lin Zhenzi is currently displaying the situation inside the "Beast God Plateau" Instance to the few people.

This "Beast God Plateau" Instance dispute is no longer a competition among trainees, but a grand contest between academies.

From this one can see which of the new batch of top talents is the most outstanding.

At this moment the three deans' expressions are all rather strange.

In front of the three images representing each academy's team, there is another image, lofty above.

Jiang Chen is hugging Lin Caier'er while grinding the Instance, looking as if he's strolling through a Garden.

Lin Zhenzi's expression looks as if he's taken some bitter medicine, his mouth twitching, eyes flashing with ferocity.

A harsh voice grunts from his throat, "You stinky brat, let go of me."
