A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Both his father and he himself were being transferred, and if his subordinates remained in the outer city's Tianheng Division, they would inevitably face suppression.

It's one thing to be sidelined, but the worst thing is to entrust them with dangerous tasks, which could lead to injuries or fatalities.

“Yes, there’s no limit to the number of people, but Zhou An is not an option,” Wen Dao said in a deep voice.

“Zhou An is an S-level potential user, so it’s not advisable for him to go to the battlefield too early. We should at least wait until he reaches level five,” Liu Du explained.

“Zhou An, I will recommend you for the position of captain of the 1st District Brigade,” Yan Ling said.

"Me? I'm only level 2 right now, is that enough?" Zhou An asked, looking surprised.

Although Zhou An had already heard the news from the Holy Spirit Messenger, hearing it again now still left him feeling unsettled.

It's one thing for Yan Ling to be transferred, but her father has to be transferred too.

That's how he lost his biggest backer.

"Don't worry, that's enough. I'll put in a good word for you." Liu Du said with a faint smile.

“Yes, if the few of us speak up, Lei Ran won’t dare to touch you.” Wen Dao nodded.

As the inspector, Wen Dao had already investigated all matters and relationships in advance before his arrival.

"Thank you very much, officers," Zhou An said with a face full of gratitude.

"Hehe, everyone has witnessed your strength, you are more than qualified to serve as the captain."

"Moreover, you're about to advance to level three, so your strength will likely increase further," Liu Du said with a smile.

"Alright, this matter is settled. Now we should head to headquarters to announce the personnel changes to Director Yan and Deputy Director Lei." Liu Du slowly stood up.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Yan Ling also quickly stood up.

Before long, Yan Ling and Zhou An had sent all these people away.

"A time of great turmoil, a time of great turmoil indeed."

“You are one of my people, and you will definitely be suppressed, but with your abilities, you will still be very safe.”

"You have great potential. Cultivate diligently and break through to level five as soon as possible. Once I have established myself in the Mist Demon Tribe, I will come to help you."

"Although the Mist Demon Tribe is dangerous, the rewards are proportional to the dangers. It's where you can improve the fastest," Yan Ling patted Zhou An on the shoulder.

"Captain Yan, I understand. You should also be careful." Zhou An was confident that his cultivation would only be faster, not slower.

"I have spatial abilities, you know. I can teleport. What are you worried about?"

"I'll let you in on a secret: once my genes are enhanced, even spatial sealing abilities or devices will be ineffective against me," Yan Ling whispered in Zhou An's ear.

"Captain Yan is awesome!" Zhou An gave a thumbs up.

Chapter 168 Official Succession, Massive Recruitment

"Alright, let's go back. I need to get ready too." Yan Ling patted Zhou An on the shoulder.

Zhou An nodded and immediately got up and went out.

Zhou An returned to his office and acted as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, he also felt a certain admiration for the Holy Spirit Messenger.

To know about Captain Yan's transfer so far in advance.

It is highly likely that the Holy Spirit Envoy is a member of the Inner City's Heavenly Constancy Division.

Zhou An took out the mind-breaking potion given to him by Liu Du.

[Breakthrough Potion]: Level 3 Breakthrough Potion. After taking it, one can break through from a Level 2 Ability User to a Level 3 Ability User without any side effects.

Although Zhou An felt he was about to break through, he did not hesitate and took it directly.

A surge of pure power erupted within Zhou An's mouth.

Before Zhou An could even swallow, the energy directly entered his body.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou An felt as if countless needles were piercing his brain.

This caused Zhou An's expression to change instantly, but that was all.

Several minutes passed, and Zhou An's breathing calmed down.

He's at level three.

Zhou An immediately sensed that his three-dimensional attributes had reached the maximum of 599 points.

Name: Zhou An

Age: 24

[Level]: LV50 (Sealed) Level 3

[Strength]: 599 (Maximum)

[Spirit]: 599 (Maximum)

[Constitution]: 599 (Maximum)

[Contract Slot]: Li Shengsheng

[Skill]: Flame Control

【Props】：Sealing

Inventory: 30 (Sealed)

[Spells (8/10)]: Horse Spell, Tiger Spell, Dragon Spell, Rat Spell, Monkey Spell, Dog Spell, Rabbit Spell, Ox Spell

The three-dimensional attributes are only 599 points, but with the Ox Talisman, the power is increased by 100 times, reaching 59999 points.

It can be said that with his current power, his pure strength has already surpassed that of a level nine being.

Level 1, 20-99

Level Two, 99-299

Level Three, 300-599

Level Four, 600-999

Fifth level, 1000-1999

Level Six, 2000-4999

Seventh level, 5000-9999

Level 8, 10000-19999

Level 9, 20000-?

These are just one attribute that corresponds to the current level.

However, this does not represent true combat strength.

Because cultivation techniques, combat skills, martial arts, equipment, supernatural abilities, and so on have too many influences.

Moreover, once they reach level seven or above, they will control the laws, and the power of those laws will crush everything.

Even with such terrifying power, if it cannot break through the opponent's laws, it will be completely unable to harm the opponent, and may even be suppressed by the laws.

However, even so, when Zhou An unleashes his full power, he is absolutely invincible below level seven.

To harm beings of level seven or higher, Zhou An must be at least level five.

After reaching level five, his dragon talisman possessed the power of level seven, accompanied by certain rules.

Zhou An glanced at the items he had unlocked; all three levels were unlocked, and some of the rule items were also unlocked.

It also unlocked the True One-Hit Kill.

His strength has been greatly enhanced once again.

Before we knew it, it was afternoon.

The transfer order from above has officially come through.

Zhou An served as the captain of the 1st District Brigade.

Yanling directly summoned all the group leaders and announced the matter.

The meeting room erupted in an uproar.

“Zhou An is only level 2. Even if he only has S-level potential, how can he be qualified to serve as the captain of the brigade?” the fourth group leader shouted.

Yan Ling said coldly, "This is a decision made by the higher-ups, and Zhou An already possesses the strength of level five."

"Zhao Kong, the deacon of the Holy Spirit Cult, was only apprehended by Zhou An alone. He is not qualified to serve as deacon, so what qualifications do you have?"

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

Yes, Zhou An captured Zhao Kong, a level-five deacon, all by himself.

This force is already capable of serving as the captain.

At that moment, no one spoke, and the meeting room fell silent.

The words swept across the crowd, finally landing on Zhou An: "Zhou An, come up and say a few words."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An nodded, then stood up and walked to Yan Ling's side.

He raised his head, his bright eyes sweeping over the team leaders: "I know you're all very dissatisfied, but it's okay, ability speaks for itself."

"If you can defeat me, I will hand over the position of battalion commander. I mean what I say."

None of the people below spoke.

Yes, most of them are around level three in terms of strength, with three or four at level four, but no one at level five.

In any case, their strength is really nothing to brag about.

"Hmph, strength doesn't mean everything. A captain needs management skills. Can he do that?" Zhang Yuan, the leader of the fourth group, sneered.

"You think I don't have it? Do you have it?" Zhou An scoffed.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan's face immediately darkened.

He stopped talking, because it was too late to stop it.
