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

Outside the Path of the Gods.

Renekton and the others who hadn't entered the Hidden Land stood not far from the stone tablet, glaring furiously at the golden steps that had made them disappear.

"It's a pity that the Path of Concealment is a separate space, otherwise I would have had Belloc and his men tear him apart today!!!"

Upon hearing this, Connor, who was standing nearby, quickly offered words of comfort.

"Renkerton, don't be angry. This is the Hidden Lands, not some ordinary dungeon."

"Can't you see they haven't come out yet? Heh, he's just a gray-level mage after all. Even if his damage is high, does he think he can one-shot the boss of the Path of the Gods?"

"Even in this first level, the BOSS has over 1000 billion HP. Even for us now, it would take quite a bit of effort to get in."

At this point, Connor sneered.

"Throughout history, how many mages have ever attempted the Path of the Hidden Gods? And even if they did, how many could actually pass the third level?"

"Besides, which of those mages isn't a Gold Mythic-level rarity? Which one doesn't have a powerful background that has provided them with countless resources and survival tools?"

"That Lu Yun is just a peasant orphan who relied on his strength to get close to Qi Huanyu, which gave him the opportunity to come to the Land of Forsaken Gods."

"Heh, so what if they used some unknown means to kill Mel and the others? Such trash is still garbage no matter how many resources you give them."

Seeing that Clayton's expression had improved, Connor patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"Even if we take a step back and say that he is really strong, so what? No matter how strong he is, he is only 18 years old. The fifth level is already his limit."

"And which of us isn't a Brilliant-level expert? Which of us isn't a higher level than him? Killing him would be as easy as turning one's hand."

Renekton snorted, his mood indeed improving considerably.

"That idiot Mel! He must have been overconfident, which is why Lu Yun attacked him before he could even make a move and gained the upper hand."

"You're right. Even if he's strong, he's at most a fifth-tier cultivator. With so many of us at level 900+ Brilliant-level experts attacking together, killing him is a piece of cake!"

"The moment he steps outside the Path of Concealment, we'll attack with all our might. I refuse to believe he can survive!"

"Yes, Renekton."

Connor curled his lips into a smile, his face radiating confidence.

"And just you wait and see, he's just a gray mage, he probably won't even get past the first level. If he dies at the hands of the BOSS, that's too good for him. If he gives up and chooses to quit, then our chance to kill him will come."

"He can't just stay here and watch his companions pass the first level even though he can't get past it, can he?"

"I've heard he's either the head of the Dragon Roar Group or the deputy director of the Dragon Office. How can he have the nerve to be outshone by his own subordinate?"

Renekton sneered.

"That's right, we just need to wait a little longer and let him know how powerful that BOSS is. However, I really hope he doesn't get killed by the BOSS, otherwise, not being able to take revenge myself will be hard to quell my hatred!"

"There's movement!"

As soon as Renekton finished speaking, the professional from the Flower Kingdom next to him exclaimed in surprise.

Sure enough, as a light illuminated the first step, Lu Yun's figure appeared.

Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"As expected, Mr. Connor! You were right, he did come out!"

"18 seconds, hahaha! He was in there for only 18 seconds, he didn't even last a minute before he came out, hahaha!"

"Trash is trash! Haha! Lord Renekton! We just need to wait a bit! We can kill him once he gets out! Hahaha!"

"Look! He's standing there, breathing heavily, his face flushed, completely stunned. He's obviously been terrified by the BOSS! Hahahaha!"

"Idiots! Serves you right! How could you be scared to death in your rooms! Hahaha!"

Everyone was incredibly excited to see Lu Yun appear.

In their eyes, Lu Yun was a good-for-nothing who couldn't even withstand the BOSS and was scared out of his wits.

After all, only 18 seconds have passed since the BOSS appeared. At that speed, they can't think of any other outcome except for quitting voluntarily.

However, Lu Yun had no interest in paying attention to them at the moment.

Upon seeing the automatically picked-up item, even Lu Yun couldn't help but swear and gasp for breath.

Without even bothering to return to the steps from inside the room, he stood on the first step and opened his backpack.

He didn't look at the materials; he skipped them entirely.

Instead, he looked at the two scrolls first.

【Skill Promotion Scroll (Gold)】: After use, it can promote skills below Mythic level to Mythic level.

【Skill Upgrade Scroll (Gold)】: When used, it can increase the level of skills below Mythic by 1.

Holy crap...

This is really good stuff!

After reading the introduction, Lu Yun's breathing became even more rapid.

His skills are so amazing that everyone can see it.

The only drawback is that the upgrades are too slow.

Last time he went to the Refining God Tower, he upgraded Fireball by 1 level, which made Fireball even more monstrous than before.

However, with his ever-increasing stats, it's absolutely impossible for him to upgrade any other skills.

And now, this scroll can actually be upgraded, and there's even one that can increase its rarity. This is like a godsend!

"Haha! Great! Okay!"

Lu Yun's eyes gleamed, and he immediately used the Advancement Scroll and Upgrade Scroll on the Fireball spell.

【Ding! 】

【Used successfully! 】

Your skill: Fireball (Gray) has been upgraded!

【Ding! 】

【Used successfully! 】

Your skill: Fireball (Gray) has been upgraded!

【Fireball (Gold) Lv3】: Releases a small fireball, dealing 24612999999999% fire damage to the target.

Attack range: 409 yards; Casting speed: 100%; Mana cost: 10; Cooldown: 1 second.

"Holy crap?! Great! Great! Great!!! Hahaha!!!"

The original fireball only deals 120% damage, level 2 deals 240%, and level 3 should deal 480%, but because it was promoted to the Golden Mythical level, it directly became 24612% damage!

With the added damage from the modifications, the fireball spell's damage has now increased to 2461 billion times!

If this dumpling were thrown at the demon race, it would probably blow their entire interface to smithereens!

Based on this damage alone, this fireball spell is even more powerful than forbidden spells!

just.

Lu Yun stood on the steps, laughing wildly, forgetting that there were many people behind him.

When Renekton and the others saw him suddenly start grinning like an idiot, they all joined in the mockery.

"Mr. Renekton! You see! I told you, this idiot has gone mad!"

"Yeah, he went completely insane when he realized he couldn't even get past the first hurdle! Hahaha!"

"An idiot is an idiot! A piece of trash is a piece of trash! With such a low level of mental fortitude, yet the Chinese government praises them so highly—they're practically asking for death!"

"Just you wait! He's about to run away, Mr. Renekton! Get ready to torture him properly! Chop him into pieces... um..."

Before everyone could finish speaking, Lu Yun suddenly lifted his foot and disappeared from the spot as he stepped onto the second step.

At that moment, everyone's expressions froze, and their smiles instantly vanished.
