I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"Level 10! Haha! I'm level 10!"

"Young Master Chen! Congratulations! Haha!"

The four retainers smiled broadly and offered their congratulations repeatedly.

Wu Xiangchen, on the other hand, was much more genuine. He was so excited that his whole body was trembling, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"Haha, reaching level 10 on only the second day! This speed is absolutely unprecedented! The number one in this era!"

"Even if leveling up slows down after level 10, I'll definitely be able to complete my first job advancement in two months!"

At this point, Wu Xiangchen slowly curled the corners of his mouth, his face full of sinister coldness.

"Xu Qingmeng... You'll be really surprised when you find out I'm level 10."

"You'll see then that following me is the only way to have a future!"

"As for that idiot Lu Yun?"

Wu Xiangchen's eyes turned cold, and he gritted his teeth, his expression full of resentment.

"I'm letting you go now so I can focus on leveling up and completing my first job advancement!"

"When school starts, I'll show you what a real difference is during the entrance exam!"

"This will also show Qingmeng just how useless you are, and how I will trample you under my feet!"

"At that time, I will definitely toy with you, bit by bit, and humiliate you in front of everyone!"

"I'll show you what happens when you lay a hand on my woman and anger me, Wu Xiangchen!"

At this moment, one of the retainers sneered.

"Young Master Chen is right. Those commoner orphans are practically trash. What use are they even if they're mages? How can they compare to Young Master Chen?"

"Exactly, he's probably still hovering around level 5 right now, right? Even with Miss Xu helping him, it would be a miracle if he reaches level 10 in a month, considering how fast Miss Xu grinds!"

"I don't know what Miss Xu was thinking. She rejected a prodigy like Young Master Chen, the number one genius in Mingguang City, and instead looked down on that country bumpkin."

"Who cares? He'll just be a stepping stone for Young Master Chen sooner or later. Miss Xu will eventually face reality and fall into Young Master Chen's arms. Let's hurry up and go to Blood Moon Castle to continue helping Young Master Chen level up."

"Boom!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the entire square suddenly began to shake violently.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

"Holy crap?! What the hell? An earthquake?"

"What's going on? Why is it shaking? Is the dungeon about to crash?"

"Holy crap?! If this dungeon collapses and the monsters inside escape, that'll be a disaster!"

The professionals who came to level up looked eager, while the city guards watching the portal were even more vigilant and tense.

Fortunately, the tremors did not last long, and things calmed down.

Wu Xiangchen, holding his hat, looked at the teleportation portal with a bewildered expression.

"What the hell happened? Shadowmoon Castle exploded?"

The retainers, upon hearing this, also looked lingering fear.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling it didn't come from Shadowmoon Castle."

"Yes, that tremor just now felt like the Shadow Castle."

"The Castle of the Corpses?"

Wu Xiangchen was taken aback.

"By the way, did you guys see which instance Qingmeng went to?"

The four exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Wu Xiangchen's eyelids twitched, and before he could speak, a group of city guards suddenly ran in from the exit.

They quickly surrounded the portal to the Shadow Castle, driving away all the professionals near it.

Wu Xiangchen suddenly had a bad feeling.

……

"Bang!!!"

"What are you all doing? Why don't you know what happened yet?"

Tai'an City.

The copy inspection room.

The director slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage, startling the staff member in front of him into trembling fear.

Especially when reflected by the alarm lights coming from all around, it looked incredibly terrifying.

"Director! It must be because there was an excessively large energy fluctuation in the instance that triggered the alarm, but we checked and the Shadow Corpse Castle is still in normal condition."

"Yes, Director. Based on the energy fluctuation monitoring, this should be a legendary skill."

Upon hearing this, the other person adjusted his glasses and said.

"I'm guessing that some big shot is leading people to level up, after all, yesterday was Awakening Day."

"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

The director pointed to the window, looking annoyed.

"You mean, he just awakened yesterday, and today some big shot is taking his child to level up in the level 30 Corpse Castle?"

"Doesn't that kid want experience anymore? What's he going in for? Just to wander around?"

"this……"

Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated.

Indeed, those who possess legendary skills are all reclusive masters, and the difference in their levels must be significant.

Putting aside whether they would actually mentor new players, the level difference and the dungeon leveling system make it impossible.

This doesn't make sense, nor is it reasonable.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

And just then...

Suddenly, someone ran in from outside.

"Director! I suddenly remembered something!"

The director was taken aback and subconsciously spoke.

"What is it?"

The staff member handed over a report.

"Director, a huge energy fluctuation occurred in the Barrens instance of Mingguang City yesterday."

"It not only turned the entire barren landscape into a huge pit, but even the monitoring stone in the monitoring room cracked."

"People from higher up are currently investigating, and we'll only know the specifics after the investigation."

"What the hell???"

Before the director had finished reading, he suddenly looked up at him in astonishment.

"The monitoring stone has cracked???"

"Wait, this thing can actually crack? How big of an energy fluctuation would that be?"

The director paused for a moment, then quickly looked at the report.

After reading it, he couldn't help but slowly open his mouth.

"It really did crack..."

This is the accident report submitted by Mingguang City yesterday.

It contains a detailed record of the entire incident.

This includes information on monitoring stone cracks and the damage to numerous instruments caused by excessive energy.

Upon seeing this, his expression changed.

"Oh no! Did our monitoring stone crack?"

"No, no!"

Upon hearing this, the man quickly waved his hand, and the director finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Monitoring cracks in a rock is a huge responsibility.

But as he looked at the report again, his eyes widened in surprise.

"This is not a known skill being monitored; it's speculated that the skill has reached the epic level, manifested as a mushroom cloud rising into the sky?"

"Landscape alteration? Monster vaporization? Nuclear-like explosion???"

Suddenly, he remembered the uproar that had happened yesterday.

"Was it that nuclear explosion? It was real after all?"

"Won't……"

The director's expression changed, and he quickly came out from behind his desk.

"Quickly! Show me the live monitoring footage!"

Upon hearing this, the staff member looked troubled.

"Director, we're not in Mingguang City. We only have three chances to view the instance monitoring screen each month, and we can only watch for 10 seconds each time. This month, we only have one chance left."

"And even if we did watch, there are protection mechanisms in place, so we wouldn't be able to see the professionals' footage..."

"I still have to see it! I absolutely must see it! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

Upon hearing this, everyone had no choice but to run out.

soon.

As the video was pulled up, the director's expression changed repeatedly.

"Quick! Switch to the range with the highest energy fluctuation!"

Upon hearing this, the staff quickly started making adjustments.

Soon, the image appeared.

However, as the overhead view was brought up, all the people saw was a beam of light.

Then the bright red mushroom cloud rolled in, illuminating the entire monitoring room.

Everyone slowly opened their mouths wide, instantly dumbfounded, completely stunned.

Even after the image disappeared, no one could come to their senses.

At that moment, the director's expression changed drastically. He shuddered and immediately roared in horror.

"Quickly!!! Report it!!! Report it!!!"

"Let the higher-ups come and investigate here too!!!"
