Don’t mess with me, okay? With a face that looks so much like my lazy cousin’s, I’m not interested at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan coughed heavily, forcing a serious expression onto his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... I think you’ve misunderstood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I wanted to protect you was simply because you look a lot like my cousin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa blinked, staring at Caelan with a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way... you actually like your cousin?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Alyssa was shocked—because that kind of thing seemed to involve a taboo that normal people simply couldn’t comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Caelan felt his fist tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is wrong with this woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Alyssa’s brain... a little broken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately explained, \"Don’t overthink it. I’m just telling you—you misunderstood. I don’t feel anything for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only saved you as a favor, for my cousin’s sake. So could you please stop writing extra drama for yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Caelan still worried Alyssa wouldn’t believe him. He took off his necklace and showed her a childhood photo of him and his cousin together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might detest that lazy cousin, but they had grown up together. To say there was no bond at all would be a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Alyssa saw the old photograph, her eyes went wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—Caelan really does have a cousin?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant, if there were a crack in the ground, Alyssa would’ve crawled into it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humiliating. This was beyond humiliating!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had assumed Caelan was just making up an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it looked like he was being completely honest—meaning she was the one who’d overthought everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the onlookers nearby widened their eyes too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... that works?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel like Alyssa’s expression is... kind of weird?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, keep your voice down! It’s already awkward enough—why are you shouting it out loud?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Alyssa’s pale cheeks were burning red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all her life, she had never experienced something this mortifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly apologized to Caelan, again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry. I got carried away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not asking you to forgive me—I just hope this doesn’t affect your decision to join the Ironclad Legion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... I just remembered there are some things I still need to handle. I’ll be going now—bye!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Alyssa fled the front-line camp at the fastest speed she had ever achieved in her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her retreating figure, the spectators couldn’t help sucking in a sharp breath once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought we’d get to see Caelan make a fool of himself today... but it turns out the clown was Alyssa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t get it. Why is Caelan so straight? Is Alyssa not pretty enough or what??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe that’s the difference between us and a real steel-reinforced straight guy... alright, alright, everyone disperse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today’s incident is really... just thinking about it makes me cringe for Alyssa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something like this would be an absolute social death for anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, the whole commotion finally settled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Caelan, all the participants of this trial mission received a basic point reward from the Ironclad Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the points earned from killing monsters, those would be distributed after the totals were calculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, every single member—without exception—was recruited into the Ironclad Legion and granted official membership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff in charge of reception finally let out a breath and congratulated everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan, unsurprisingly, also received an official member badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he pinned it on, he felt his attributes surge dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the receptionist’s unhurried voice sounded by their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sure you’ve all felt the boost granted by the legion badge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t go into the complicated details. Just remember this: the more you contribute to the legion, the greater the boost your badge will provide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And also, points are extremely valuable. In our Ironclad Legion, obtaining any item requires spending points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, a sharp glint flashed in Caelan’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the attribute boost from the badge alone made this trip completely worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t even the best part—what truly excited Caelan were the points he had just earned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the receptionist’s description, as long as you had enough points, you could buy almost anything useful in the Ironclad Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Caelan was eagerly anticipating the final number—how many points would the legion reward him in the end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His performance... could be considered turning the tide, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan shook his head, temporarily pushing those messy thoughts aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he needed to think about now was the next [Class Mutation Quest — 3-Star].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by completing the class mutation quest could he continue raising his level cap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his observations during the earlier battle, Caelan had noticed something interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was: geniuses like Alyssa basically all possessed 4-star strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to them, his raw power was still somewhat lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Caelan’s plan was to raise his level as quickly as possible—at the very least, he wanted to be on par with Alyssa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head again, clearing away the clutter in his mind, then opened his [Class Mutation Quest — 3-Star].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Quest 1: Clear the Endless Abyss and kill the Cataclysm Beast at the bottom of the Abyss.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Caelan saw the task, he was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait... this is only a [3-star] quest, and you want me to hunt a Cataclysm Beast??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you sure you’re not just sending me to die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Cataclysm Beast didn’t have a fixed level, but it was universally recognized as a disaster that could destroy an entire region of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Cataclysm Beast appeared in a region, terrifying disasters would inevitably occur at regular intervals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some areas, because of a Cataclysm Beast, had seen dozens of human cities turned into dead cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone showed how horrifying the threat was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why many Awakeners would spare no cost to hunt Cataclysm Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because they weren’t afraid of death—but because humanity had to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, when facing a Cataclysm Beast, there was no point in running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than fighting, there was no solution at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system really thinks highly of me, huh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan gave a bitter smile and shook his head, continuing to read—only for his expression to stiffen!\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-03T07:00:22.893Z","2026-06-03T07:00:29.236Z",1,"novelbin.me","d300467d0d9e868fd3cb240359bfc57d88a4de15083314b3e27ede0d984f5e0f","max-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-chapter-45","max-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-chapter-43",385,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmax-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-cover.jpg"]
