twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was fundamentally two people… no, two skill personalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo did not dwell on this topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at the row of dungeon rifts ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo locked onto one of the dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above that dungeon hung the fastest clear record of America’s Adams family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Final Clear Time: 30 minutes 12 seconds】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirty minutes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s eyebrows lifted slightly, a flicker of suspicion crossing his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s really that long?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Previous dungeon records were at most twenty minutes flat—this one takes thirty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it really that hard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo pointed at the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This one. 【Phantom Poison Swamp】.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuowan 。\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Han Mengyao beside him and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mengyao, what’s the deal with this dungeon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is the clear time so long?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lin Mo’s question,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao stepped forward and said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Class monitor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The early minion stages of 【Phantom Poison Swamp】 have no special mechanics—your strength lets you brute-force them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao’s brows furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The real nuisance is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The final boss stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That boss, 【Toxic Tyrant】, has an extremely perverted special mechanic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao took a deep breath and explained in detail:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the boss’s HP drops to 80% and 40%…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It triggers an invincibility buff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another invincibility buff?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao nodded and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this invincibility state differs slightly from any we’ve seen before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The boss’s invincibility lasts a full three minutes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And during those three minutes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The boss absorbs all damage dealt to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once the three minutes end…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao’s tone grew grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The boss amplifies all absorbed damage exponentially and unleashes a massive area-of-effect counter-explosion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Han Mengyao’s explanation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the clear time was so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were basically just waiting out the invincibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it absorbed all damage, who’d be stupid enough to keep attacking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you dodge this area-of-effect counter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, class monitor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just run to any of the four corners and avoid it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The actual difficulty of this dungeon isn’t that high—it’s just this invincibility state, pure annoyance, wasting so much time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, does this damage absorption have a cap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lin Mo’s question,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao instinctively shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as the word left her lips,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she seemed to realize something, her tone turning cautious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not so far.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao’s meaning was clear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Mo appeared, the boss’s damage absorption had no cap—not even heaven’s king could break it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Lin Mo was here…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things were less certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he ended up embarrassing them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing Lin Mo’s countless miracles, Han Mengyao now always left herself an escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, enter the dungeon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, class monitor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Longxu Class responded in unison and followed Lin Mo as they strode into the 【Phantom Poison Swamp】 rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Mo and the others vanished into the light,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Principal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The day after tomorrow is when the Junior International Arena officially opens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With Lin Mo’s insane leveling speed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By then, his level will be very close to the Junior International Arena’s 40-level cap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Wenchang’s words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe chuckled, arms behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“40 levels?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If not for the arena’s time restriction…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d let Lin Mo enter now, every single day—who could stop him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kid’s combat power can’t be measured by normal level standards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang’s expression grew serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, Principal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lately, we’ve been smashing the Adams family’s records nonstop…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a feeling they’ll take action.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, the nations we’ve matched with—Yingguo, Da Han Guo, Tianzhu Guo—all have deep ties to the Adams family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Wenchang’s concern,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nie Lao and the others already anticipated this and have made preparations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they truly dare form a Seven-Nation Alliance and try to hunt down our Longguo prodigies on the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let the whole world see how we annihilate their so-called alliance without a single survivor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever dares provoke Longguo must be ready to face national annihilation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Guhe’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang also felt a surge of Rexue  rise in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and agreed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The principal is right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a bunch of petty clowns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang rubbed his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my opinion...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield opens the day after tomorrow, let Lin Mo go in alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel he could handle all seven nations by himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this suggestion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe paused, then shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Mo is strong, that’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guhe sighed, his gaze falling on the rift through which Lin Mo and the others had entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t abandon all the prodigies of Lin Mo’s cohort just because he shines so brightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at Han Mengyao and Han Mengqing, look at Ye Kong, and Chu Lingxuan and the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one of them isn’t among the top talents in Longguo’s 18-year-old cultivators?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Lin Mo’s brilliance is so overwhelming, it makes them seem dull in comparison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But they, too, are the future hope of Longguo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield is true life-or-death combat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the very least... at the very least, they must enter and witness the world, experience real battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Guhe’s heartfelt words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang nodded deeply in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The principal is right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t think it through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jade uncarved is not an artifact; flowers nurtured in a greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned their gaze once more to the rift.\u003C\u002Fp>",976,"2026-06-21T04:41:50.524Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
