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

Upon hearing this, not only Yu Tairan, but also Qingfeng and Gu Huayi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What do you mean you're almost level 1500?"

"You mean, you weren't even level 1500 before you entered the dungeon???"

Yu Tairan and the others stared wide-eyed, their breathing quickening.

"Yeah, I was level 1300 before I entered the dungeon."

"???"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tairan and the others slowly opened their mouths wide, completely dumbfounded.

They had considered Lu Yun reaching level 1600, 1700, or even 1800.

After all, his composure and confidence already showed that his strength was definitely not bad.

In fact, his strength was indeed unfathomable; even Elder Chen and the Grand Elder said they couldn't see through him.

But who would have thought that he was already level 1300 when he entered?

While level and strength are not absolutely correlated, it is certain that a low level will limit one's strength.

So, how did he do it?

How could a level 1300 ninth-tier professional be so unfathomable to the Grand Elder?

Is this a joke?

Everyone was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a long time. It was only after Lu Yun reminded them that they realized they were still at the Secret Realm Grand Competition.

But unfortunately.

The strange thing is that Lu Yunqing has already surpassed everyone else; no one can match his score. His first place is unshakeable, and even someone as arrogant as Gu Huayi has to bow his head at this moment.

After all, he saw those smiley face bombs most clearly.

If we hadn't been on the same side, all five of us would probably have died—no, we would all have died in the secret realm.

Lu Yun's first place is well-deserved.

"Young friend Lu, this is the reward for first place. Although you are not from our area, we have long regarded you as family, so you must accept this reward."

Yu Tairan's words were watertight, but also very sincere, so Lu Yun naturally wouldn't put on airs.

"Lord Yu is joking. We come from the same source and are one family."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tairan immediately laughed heartily.

"Yes, yes, yes! Young friend Lu is right!"

Lu Yun readily accepted the storage ring that Yu Tairan had given him. Upon opening it, he found that it contained quite a few good things.

The gold coins and materials are piled up like mountains, but there is only one piece of equipment.

Fortunately, the attributes were good, and it was a bracelet, better than the one he was wearing, so he accepted it.

"Thank you, Lord Yu."

"Haha, don't be so polite, we're all family."

Lu Yun smiled, thought for a second, and then took out several pieces of god-level equipment that he had previously obtained and traded them to Gu Huayi.

"I gained a great advantage this time, but you also lost a lot of experience and benefits. These few pieces of equipment are compensation for you, so please don't refuse."

Gu Huayi was stunned for a moment, and after subconsciously opening the encyclopedia, his pupils suddenly contracted.

These red-themed items are all level 1100 sets and individual pieces, including some that Lu Yun had previously replaced, totaling more than 20 pieces.

Putting everything else aside, every piece of equipment they have is better than what they are wearing. Even replacing just one piece would be a huge improvement.

What's even more remarkable is that some of them are two-piece sets. Who wouldn't be envious?

"This, this, this...this is too valuable...we, we didn't win against you either, and you're giving us this..."

"Alright, it's just some equipment."

Lu Yun laughed nonchalantly.

"Don't think it's too good to be true. These sets only have two pieces at most, so you can't possibly get a three-piece set. Of course, I'll give them to you if I manage to get one later."

At this point, Lu Yun added another sentence.

"Don't even think about farming to get this equipment. It doesn't drop from a specific boss; it drops from a specific scenario. Even if I farmed it again, I might not be able to get it, so it's not very useful. Fortunately, the individual stats are good, but the pieces together are enough."

Gu Huayi looked at Lu Yun with some excitement, then at Yu Tairan. Yu Tairan was naturally pleased with this.

"Take it. Since it's a gift from young friend Lu, you can keep it."

Gu Huayi's eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly closed the encyclopedia and pulled the others to bow respectfully.

"Thank you very much, Brother Lu!"

"Oh, don't be shy."

Lu Yun, both amused and exasperated, pulled the group up.

"It's just a few pieces of equipment, it's not that serious."

He has tons of good stuff; his backpack is unlimited, so he can't possibly use it all.

"Oh, right."

Lu Yun took out a storage ring from his backpack, stuffed it with several thousand pieces of purple, silver, and gold equipment that he didn't need, and then handed it to Yu Tairan.

"I really gained a lot this time, but I also made these kids suffer a lot. It's unrealistic to make up for everything, but I can make up for some of it."

"Please take these equipment and distribute them among them; consider it a small compensation from me personally."

Yu Tairan didn't care at first, but when he saw the dazzling array of equipment inside, he swallowed his words.

"this……"

There are plenty of resources here, and equipment is certainly not lacking, but compared to the equipment Lu Yun gave us, the attributes of the same level equipment are really quite inferior.

He hesitated for a moment before carefully putting it away.

"Alright, thank you very much, young friend Lu."

He wasn't being coy, which made Lu Yun feel comfortable. He personally disliked being pulled in different directions, so there was no need for it.

If you've taken a favor from someone, you should give them some compensation.

Seeing Lu Yun's smiling face, Yu Tairan looked at the leaders of the four universities and said.

"You guys stabilize the situation first, follow the procedures, take the equipment that Lu Xiaoyou gave you, and distribute it according to the leaderboard."

No one dared to say anything more, and they quickly took the rings and left with Gu Huayi and the other four.

"Young friend Lu, are you really leaving? Why not stay a little longer?"

With no outsiders around, he no longer needed to hide anything.

"Yes, my situation is a bit special. Fortunately, this time clearing the map didn't make me level up to 1500 directly, otherwise it would have been a bit troublesome."

"I need to go back first and talk to the teachers and others before we can discuss it further."

"But don't worry, the atmosphere here is great, we'll definitely come again."

Yu Tairan nodded, then hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Young friend Lu, I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to say this, but..."

Upon seeing this, Lu Yun immediately smiled.

"You mean, how do I feel about observing these past few days?"

In plain terms, Yu Tairan wanted to see if any of the professionals here had any shortcomings, so they could complement each other.

After all, he had witnessed Lu Yun's actions over the past few days, and there was indeed a gap between the two sides.

Yu Tairan smiled and said somewhat frankly.

"We people here have never been outside. We only realized there was an outside world after meeting you. After all these years, no one knows if there are any problems with our teaching methods. It would be even better if you could offer some suggestions."

Lu Yun thought for a moment.

"These kids do have quite a few problems, but don't worry, overall they're pretty good. To be honest, the kids here are generally stronger than ours, but... hehe..."

Lu Yun smiled.

"If it really comes down to war, your kids can't compare to our kids."

As expected...

Yu Tairan's eyes darkened, and he guessed that this would be the answer. This could be seen from Lu Yun.

"It's alright, I'll come again. Next time I come, I'll bring some people with me and ask them to help teach me. It shouldn't be a problem."

Yu Tairan's eyes lit up, and he quickly took a step forward.

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Lu Yun nodded with a smile.

"Really, don't worry. I'll come back after I've finished dealing with things outside. We can talk about any problems then. I believe these kids will make great progress."

"We are deeply grateful! Young friend Lu, you are our friends and family forever!"

Lu Yun waved his hand, not lingering any longer, and summoned the starlight to fly away.

He discovered a lot during his trip to the secret realm and also acquired some new equipment, so he needs to go back and organize it.

Moreover, what Ye Hongyi said should be taken seriously; he must ask Qi Huanyu about it.
