A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Upon hearing this, the cheers from the audience abruptly ceased.

Zhou An also frowned and looked at Sun Ran.

The surrounding martial artists were all stunned.

Then one of the martial artists realized what was happening and his face lit up with ecstasy: "Yes, you've already moved out of range, and you've moved more than one step."

"Haha, you moved, so you lost and we won."

"Yes, yes, we won, you've already lost."

"Even if you are incredibly powerful, you will still be defeated by us."

All the martial artists spoke up, but not one of them spoke up for Zhou An.

Yang Wanli, who was about to announce the results, froze on the spot.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

He never expected that the prefect's son would use such a tricky and unethical method to make Zhou An admit defeat.

In the past, Yang Wanli would have been the first to reprimand him.

But now... that young master...

"Interesting. You all convinced me just now? Were you trying to fool me?" Zhou An glanced at the crowd, his expression calm, without the slightest anger.

"A lie? No, no, no, sir, we only persuaded them, did anyone admit defeat?"

"Gentlemen, did we just say the word 'admit defeat'?" Sun Ran looked at the crowd and shouted loudly.

"No, we just convinced you of your strength."

"Yeah, yeah, neither of us has given up yet."

"You've already lost by walking away now."

A group of martial artists echoed Sun Ran's words.

"Brother, we only acknowledge your strength, but there are still three quarters of an hour left."

“We haven’t given up. After all, no matter how powerful you are, can you really hold out against our attacks for another quarter of an hour?” Sun Ran looked at Zhou An with a calm expression.

Just then, the people in the audience finally came to their senses.

"My God, they're even cheating."

"Do these martial arts masters also cheat?"

"If you can't beat them, you can't beat them, so why resort to such shameless tactics?"

"That's right, get out, get out of here."

"You've all lost! Get out of here!!!"

The audience immediately shouted, wishing that all the martial artists would get off the stage.

Nearly 90% of the audience actually supported Zhou An.

"Quiet! We're talking, what are you interrupting for?" Sun Ran turned his head, his chest heaving with energy, and then roared.

The enormous sound echoed throughout the entire arena.

The audience, including the martial artists among them, were all stunned and dizzy.

Once they came to their senses, they all shut their mouths and dared not say another word.

However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Sun Ran was filled with fear.

"I admit you're very capable, but you've already lost. Face reality," Sun Ran said with a faint smile.

"Lord Yang, what do you say?" Zhou An ignored Sun Ran and turned to look at Yang Wanli above.

Yang Wanli glanced at Zhou An, then swept his gaze over the martial artists, and pondered, "They're right. You made a move, so naturally you lost."

Zhou An chuckled lightly: "Hehe, it seems there's a pre-ordained winner in this martial arts tournament."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wanli's expression immediately darkened.

He was about to speak when Zhou An suddenly said, "Since you think I've lost, fine, I'll break all your legs and see who really loses."

As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly erupted from beneath his feet.

Zhou An then appeared before Sun Ran as a blur.

Before Sun Ran could react, she felt a sharp pain in both legs.

"Ahhh!" he screamed as both legs broke and he collapsed to the ground.

What use are true essence protecting the body, what use are defensive magic artifacts? They're all useless; they shatter with a single blow.

"Aaaaaah~~~!"

Immediately afterwards, screams of agony echoed across the arena.

In the blink of an eye, only Zhou An remained standing on the arena.

The rest of the men had their legs broken by Zhou An and were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

This scene left everyone present completely dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, he broke the legs of more than a hundred people, at least third-level martial artists. What kind of strength is that?

Yang Wanli's face was also terribly gloomy at this moment. He wanted to make a move, but found that he was no match for Zhou An.

He didn't even see those movements clearly.

"You're asking for death! You're asking for death! My father is the prefect!" Sun Ran shouted angrily at Zhou An, suppressing his pain.

"So what if he's the Prefect?" Zhou An scoffed.

"Lord Yang, how is it now? Am I the champion?" Zhou An turned to look at Yang Wanli above.

“You…” Yang Wanli almost gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Before Yang Wanli could speak, Wang Mu's voice rang in his ears: "Announce him as the champion. This person's strength should not be underestimated. I'm afraid even I am no match for him."

Yang Wanli glanced at Wang Mu, then took a deep breath: "The champion of this martial arts tournament is Zhou An."

In an instant, cheers resounded throughout the arena.

At the same time, a notification sound rang in Zhou An's ear.

[Successfully won the martial arts tournament and completed the sixth stage of the mission]

[Seventh stage of the quest has begun... The player's cultivation level is only at level three, which is insufficient to unlock the seventh stage of the quest. Please raise your cultivation level to level five to unlock the next stage of the quest.]

[Due to insufficient cultivation level, the dungeon is temporarily closed.]

[Countdown to return: 60, 59, 58... PS: You can also return immediately]

Zhou An's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't expected the dungeon to end temporarily, and he was about to return.

Clearly, the next task requires at least a fifth-level cultivation.

Zhou An is currently only at the third level.

However, Zhou An's strength has reached the fifth level, which means that it's not about strength, but about realm.

"Fine, fine, I'll just return then." Zhou An shook his head and then directly chose to return.

He was a little disappointed that he had to return before he could even receive the reward.

They only gave me one minute; there's no way I can claim the reward.

However, precisely because of this, the rewards will most likely include other rewards, or the rewards will be increased.

The next moment, Zhou An was in a daze, and when he came to his senses again, he found himself back in the real world.

"Huh? Uncle, you're back?" Li Shengsheng noticed Zhou An's presence immediately.

"Hmm, I'm back. Where is this place?" Zhou An stepped out of Li Shengsheng's body, frowning as he looked around.

This is a subway station, but subway stations are usually very bright.

This subway station, however, was eerily quiet and filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with a putrid stench.

Li Shengsheng did not reply. Instead, her whole body trembled violently, and then her aura rose steadily.

This is to inherit the power that Zhou An gained within the instance.

"Captain Zhou." Some of the team members behind him greeted Zhou An.

"Hmm, what's going on here? Is this some kind of strange event?" Zhou An asked them.

"Captain, a fog appeared at this subway station last night, and we sealed it off immediately. Captain Li is now preparing to deal with the paranormal events here," Chang Yu replied quickly.

"Uncle, what did you do in the dungeon? I feel like my ghost power is ten times stronger." Li Shengsheng looked at Zhou An with great surprise.

"Go and deal with the strange incident. I'll settle the rewards." Zhou An didn't answer, but waved his hand and said.

He then sat down on a long bench nearby.

Upon hearing this, Li Shengsheng glared angrily at Zhou An before going back to work.

Zhou An silently recited, "Settle the reward."

The next instant, a series of notification sounds came to my ears.
