Chapter 234: Special Mechanism, Dual-Path Parallel!

"Contracted beast?"

Han Meng let out an exclamation.

"No way, I heard those things are insanely rare!"

She turned excitedly to her older sister beside her.

"I heard that even in our Magic Capital, fewer than three people possess a contracted beast."

"Right, sis?"

Han Mengyao nodded.

"That's correct."

"Contracted beasts aren't just rare—they're extremely proud. Getting them to submit and sign a contract is harder than climbing to heaven."

"For the monitor to secure one is truly like adding wings to a tiger."

Han Mengyao turned her head and looked at Xu Wenchang, curiously asking:

"Mr. Xu, may I ask which contracted beast the monitor ultimately chose?"

Hearing Han Mengyao's question,

Xu Wenchang's smile suddenly stiffened.

He sighed, his expression tinged with helplessness.

"Wuxiang Taixu Beast."

Wuxiang Taixu Beast?

As soon as the name was spoken,

The crowd erupted into heated discussion.

"Holy shit! That name sounds utterly Baqi!"

"Wuxiang! Taixu! Just hearing it, you know it's some high-tier stuff capable of swallowing heaven and earth!"

"It's definitely a hidden divine-tier ferocious beast!"

Wang Dawei also excitedly rubbed his hands together.

"No wonder the monitor's a boss! Even his contracted beast has serious class!"

Yet,

After hearing the name, Han Mengyao frowned slightly.

Han Mengqing noticed her sister's unusual expression and asked in confusion:

"Sis, what's wrong?"

Han Mengyao looked at her younger sister and explained:

"Contracted beasts usually have elemental attributes—you know that, right?"

"Like Mom's Flame Demon Dog is fire-element, and Uncle Fang's Wind Speed Hawk is wind-element."

"I know that, so what element is Monitor Lin Mo's contracted beast? Based on the name, is it space-element?"

Han Mengqing blinked her curious eyes.

Xu Wenchang gave a bitter smile and took over:

"No element."

???

No element?

Wang Dawei froze.

"So the monitor contracted a blank?"

Xu Wenchang nodded.

Wang Dawei paused, then sighed:

"Man, that's just like when the monitor first awakened—also a blank…"

The students exchanged glances.

A contracted beast with zero elemental attributes?

What combat value could that possibly have?

Cute antics? A mascot?

Wasting such a precious contract slot—this is a massive loss!

Xu Wenchang smiled and said:

"Even without an element, don't write it off entirely. No one can say for sure how it will turn out yet."

"I hope this 'Wuxiang Taixu Beast' truly is a hidden gem, just like Lin Mo himself was at the start."

At that moment,

Han Mengqing's eyes lit up.

She waved her arms excitedly.

"Monitor Lin Mo! Boss! Over here, over here!"

Everyone turned toward the sound.

Lin Mo was striding toward them.

His steps were calm and unhurried.

With his appearance,

The previously noisy dungeon center fell instantly silent.

The onlooker students spontaneously stepped aside, as if welcoming a monarch.

Lin Mo arrived before the Longxu Class group.

"Monitor!"

"You finally showed up!"

Everyone rushed forward, greeting him warmly.

Lin Mo nodded.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Gu He stepped forward and clapped Lin Mo on the shoulder.

"Lin Mo."

"Today marks the first time our Dragon Nation has actively challenged a record held by the Adams family!"

Gu He's tone grew extremely serious.

"This isn't just about your honor."

"It's about our Dragon Nation's absolute prestige on the international stage!"

Lin Mo's expression turned solemn, and he nodded firmly.

"Principal, rest assured."

"Today, I'll make them know—the era of our Dragon Nation has arrived. From now on, the Blue Planet… is ours to control."

Hearing Lin Mo's bold declaration,

Gu He froze for a second, then burst into a boisterous laugh.

"Hahahaha!"

"Good!"

"Good—'it's our turn to hold the table!'"

Gu He felt his blood surge with excitement.

After living most of his life,

He loved nothing more than Lin Mo's arrogant spirit!

As a Dragon Nation prodigy, one must possess this kind of grand, tiger-swallowing ambition!

Lin Mo smiled faintly, then turned his gaze to the many rifts before him.

He glanced casually.

"Let's start with this 'Throne of Dusk'—a clear record of 21 minutes and 15 seconds? That's painfully slow."

"Mengyao, what's the deal with this dungeon? You know the details?"

Hearing this, Han Mengyao nodded and said:

"The 'Throne of Dusk' dungeon has a unique feature—it's a 'dual-path parallel' dungeon."

"Dual-path parallel?"

Lin Mo looked surprised.

"Yes."

Han Mengyao nodded and explained:

"Once inside, we must choose two completely separate paths."

"Left is the 'Path of Annihilation,' right is the 'Path of Descent.'"

"Each path contains numerous demons and boss guardians."

"Only after both paths are cleared will the Throne of Dusk gate open, allowing us to face the final boss."

"And…"

"Once you step onto one path, the way behind you is sealed off."

That means it's impossible for the monitor to clear both paths alone.

After hearing this explanation,

Lin Mo finally understood.

This dungeon tests the team's overall strength.

Otherwise, if one team clears their path while the other falls behind, the cleared team can only stare helplessly, unable to assist.

Han Mengyao stared at Lin Mo, her gaze resolute:

"Monitor, here's the plan: you go alone through the left path, the 【Path of Annihilation】. The remaining nineteen of us will take the right path, the 【Path of Descent】."

Saying this,

Han Mengyao straightened her back.

"Monitor, don't worry!"

"We know our strength pales beside yours—we'll surely slow you down."

"But!"

Han Mengyao clenched her teeth, speaking slowly and deliberately:

"Today, even if we risk our lives!"

"We absolutely, absolutely won't let you wait at the door too long!"

As Han Mengyao's words ended,

Ye Kong, Wang Dawei, Chu Lingxuan, Han Mengqing…

All nineteen students of Dragon Order Class stood at attention simultaneously.

In their eyes burned fierce battle intent.

"We won't hold the monitor back!"

"We won't hold the monitor back!"

Everyone voiced their determination.

They were prodigies too—they could admit they weren't as strong as Lin Mo, but they refused to lazily rely on him.

Even if they drained their mental power, even if they had to smash through with weapons alone, they'd clear the second path as fast as possible!

Watching this group of Rexuefeiteng classmates,

Lin Mo's eyes flickered with a trace of approval.

He raised his hand, pressing down slightly, signaling them to lower their desperate postures.

"I see your determination."

"But save the life-or-death acts for later."

"Today is just about breaking a record—not about burning your lives."

Everyone froze, looking at Lin Mo with confusion.

If they didn't push themselves to the limit, how could they keep up with the monitor's pace?

Lin Mo paused, then said:

"Since we must split into two groups…"

"Then here's the plan."

"Let my contract beast join one group with you."

"I'll go alone on the other path."

At these words,

everyone paused, stunned.

The monitor had chosen a blank contract beast!

Teacher Xu had confirmed it just moments ago.

In other words, the beast had zero combat power!

What use could it possibly be?

Wave flags and act cute?

"Fine, then it's settled."

Han Mengyao nodded.

Though her reason told her a blank contract beast would be useless, possibly even a burden,

Lin Mo had never made a wrong decision.

Han Mengyao dismissed all her doubts.

If Lin Mo arranged it this way, there must be a reason.

Perhaps this blank contract beast truly had some hidden strength.

Lin Mo spoke no further, sweeping his hand forward.

"Then, let's go."
