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

She dismissed the idea almost immediately.

Just kidding, if someone could actually clear the Path of the Vanishing in less than half an hour, wouldn't the world announcements be broadcast three times in a row?

This is an unprecedented and unparalleled event.

So, after eliminating this guess, only one remains.

Lu Yun probably realized he couldn't win after passing through two or three levels, so he left.

Hmm, that explanation makes perfect sense.

Thinking of this, Gu Yameng decided to comfort Lu Yun.

"Captain Lu, don't be discouraged. Many people try to pass through the Path of the Hidden Gods every year, but after all these years, apart from the first three, the rest of the people have only made it to the fifth level at most."

"You've only recently awakened and are still young. You'll have two more chances later. Try again when you're at a higher level."

"Given your injury record, I think securing a top-seven finish and even aiming for a top-eight finish is definitely not a problem."

Lu Yun paused for a moment, then smiled faintly.

"Okay, thank you, I will try my best."

They meant well, so there's no need to make them feel awkward.

"You should hurry up and go clear the level; the loot from the Path of the Gods is really good."

Gu Yameng's eyes lit up when this was mentioned.

"That's right! The loot here is amazing! I got two very useful pieces of gold equipment from the first boss! And a gold skill book! This journey to the Hidden Path was definitely the right one!"

"Even if I can't get past the second level, it'll be worth it!"

A single gold skill book is more valuable than three pieces of gold equipment; skill books are absolutely prioritized over equipment of equal rarity.

She'd be thrilled to get a triple yolk egg.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun smiled gently.

"Keep it up, get through a few more levels!"

"Yes, yes! I'll try my best!"

Gu Yameng smiled brightly, feeling even more sorry that Lu Yun was already engaged; otherwise, she would definitely try her best to get close to him and cling to this invincible big shot.

However, just as she disappeared after stepping onto the second step, Mu Bai suddenly appeared from the third step.

He subconsciously turned around to look, originally wanting to see if Renekton and the others were still there, or if any companions had left the Path of Concealment. But instead of seeing Renekton, he saw Lu Yun.

Mu Bai was a little confused.

"Brother Lu? You've withdrawn from the Path of Seclusion?"

His first thought was similar to Gu Yameng's: Lu Yun must have quit before he could finish refreshing the page.

Lu Yun didn't bother to explain and simply nodded.

"How was the outcome?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Bai immediately smiled.

"Not bad, I got three pieces of gold equipment and one gold skill book in two levels."

Lu Yun raised an eyebrow and said.

"That's really good, keep it up!"

"Thank you, I'll continue on my way."

The fact that Mu Bai is so happy means that the equipment he got is better than what he originally had, otherwise he wouldn't be showing off.

However, it's unclear whether the floodgates were opened, but as soon as Mu Bai went up to the fourth step, Li Bowen and Zhang Ziyu appeared on the third step.

As more and more people came out, Lu Yun exchanged a few words with them.

What puzzled Lu Yun was that no matter how good the items they obtained were, they only got gold-level mythical items, but no red-level divine items.

Based on Lu Yun's understanding of their expressions at the time, they definitely didn't lie to him. So why was it that only he had painted all red, while they all had gold?

Could I really be the son of Lady Luck?

"Director Lu!"

Just as he was pondering this, someone suddenly appeared beside him. Lu Yun took one look and immediately smiled.

"You're out already? What level are you on?"

This person was from Long's office, and no one introduced him to Lu Yun, but Lu Yun had seen him a few times and he looked somewhat familiar.

"Um... I, I've only made it to the third level. The boss in the fourth level has way too much health. I've used up all my items and potions but still can't beat it."

He blushed and scratched the back of his head, clearly embarrassed.

"It's alright, it's good enough if we can get past the third level."

Most people are only at the level of the third level; those who can pass all five levels can be called top talents.

Previously, Li Bowen and his team were just clamoring to secure a top-seven finish and strive for a top-eight finish, which was purely to encourage themselves. It would be quite an achievement for them to pass five rounds.

Of course, this only applies to those who can get here; outsiders probably wouldn't even be able to get past the first hurdle.

Perhaps Mu Qingcheng and the others could give it a try; even Xu Qingmeng would have a hard time getting past the second stage.

As more and more people came out, the facts proved to be exactly as Lu Yun had predicted.

Almost everyone in the Long Office got stuck at the fourth level, with only the two team leaders stuck at the fifth level.

The Dragon Roar group was stronger, but they only managed to get past the fifth level; they couldn't even make it past the sixth level.

The members of the ten major families did quite well, with five of them actually managing to secure seventh or eighth place, but they failed to reach eighth and were stuck at the eighth level.

To Lu Yun's surprise, Mu Wanying, who had remained silent throughout, also passed the seventh test, which made Lu Yun look at the Mu family with new respect.

No wonder the Mu family has always been aloof and rarely interacts with the other nine major families; their strength is indeed greater than that of their peers.

Whether it's Mu Bai and Mu Wanying, or Mu Shihan and Mu Qingcheng, or even Mu Caiwei with very low attack power, they are all outstanding individuals.

Seeing that everyone had arrived and was all staring at their backpacks with silly grins, Lu Yun glanced at the other nationality professionals who were standing on the steps, neither daring to move nor come down.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's go."

"Oh, right?"

Zhao Jin and the others suddenly came to their senses.

"Lu Yun, how come you're out so quickly? How many levels did you pass?"

"Yes, I was just about to ask that. Now that everyone's finished, why don't you tell me?"

They were indeed embarrassed before, but this time they received so many great gifts that they were very happy and wanted to continue asking questions while they were still in a good mood.

After all, it would be an honor to surpass Lu Yunchuang.

However, seeing that Lu Yun smiled without saying anything, everyone assumed that he was embarrassed to speak, so someone suggested it.

"Lu Yun is embarrassed. Come on, let's go take a look at the stone tablet. It has a record on it."

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go!"

Everyone swarmed toward the stone tablet, eager to see Lu Yun's achievements. Along the way, they also comforted Lu Yun.

"Hey, it's okay if you don't do many things, we won't laugh at you."

"You don't have any information about this place, you're not well-prepared, so it's okay if you don't clear many checkpoints."

"Exactly, even if you fail the first round, we won't... Holy crap?! First place???"

"Wait, wait a minute???"

As they approached, the group instinctively wanted to click on the stone tablet, but when they saw the name at the top, they were stunned and speechless.

"Holy crap?! First place?! 21 minutes??? Cleared the game???"

"Holy crap??? I... I didn't see that right, did I??? Lu Yun cleared the Path of the Hidden God in just 21 minutes???"

Everyone slowly opened their mouths wide, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, staring blankly at Lu Yun.

"Dude?! Is this right? Huh? How could this be right???"

"Complete the Path of the Vanishing in 21 minutes? Can you believe a human could do that???"

"Lu Yun! You're not a human being!!!"

"And here I am, trying so hard to comfort them, only to find myself playing the clown?!"

"I was still feeling smug about passing the sixth level, and then someone else beat the whole thing in the time it took me to complete one level! I'm absolutely furious!"

The crowd, regaining their senses, were on the verge of tears, feeling as if they had been cruelly toyed with by Lu Yun.

Soon, Zhao Jin couldn't hold back any longer.

"Lu Yun! Why didn't you say so sooner?! You just wanted to see us make a fool of ourselves!"

"Let me go! I want to fight him one-on-one! I want to beat him to a pulp!!!"

"Hey, look at you, acting impulsively again."

Li Bowen and the others pulled Zhao Jin back speechlessly, their eyes filled with resentment as they looked at Lu Yun.

Seeing this, Lu Yun looked bewildered.

"But you didn't ask."

"?"

"Who knew you guys would be so slow?"

"??"

"It's just passing the level; anyone can do that."

"??????"
