When Lin Moyu appeared, the Dungeon Hall fell into an abrupt silence.
"It's Lin Moyu. He's back."
"Lin Moyu? You mean Godly General Lin."
"The youngest godly general of the human race, the one who single-handedly wiped out a 10,000-strong Drake Legion."
"His combat power may not rival the other godly generals, but his group attack ability is off the charts."
"He's practically unbeatable at his level..."
"Unbeatable? He took down a level 70 Dragonkind Battle General alone, even after his undead army was sealed!"
"I bet once Godly General Lin completes his third class awakening, heâll be able to take down Demon Kings solo."
...
The conversations reached Dongfang Yaoâs ears.
Only then did she realize that the guy who brushed her off earlier was that Lin Moyuâthe one whose fame had recently skyrocketed.
At first, she had dismissed the stories as exaggerated rumors. It seemed impossible for someone so young to be as powerful as the tales claimed. The more she heard, the more outlandish they sounded, pushing the limits of belief.
But now⊠her doubt wavered. After all, being chosen by Mad God as a disciple spoke volumes about Lin Moyuâs abilities. A god-level powerhouse like Mad God wouldnât make such a choice lightly.
"So, youâre Lin Moyu." Dongfang Yao stood in front of him, blocking his path.
There was no denying that Dongfang Yao was breathtakingly beautiful, her presence filled with a regal grace. She embodied nearly every quality one could admire in a woman.
UnfortunatelyâŠ
"Please move aside." Lin Moyu's voice was calm, indifferent. To him, Dongfang Yao was nothing more than a stranger.
Dongfang Yao felt her rage rise, "Why are you like this?"
She thought she had been polite enough this time. She hadnât acted haughty, and yet Lin Moyu still treated her like she wasnât worth his time. She couldnât help but feel aggrieved.
Lin Moyu sighed, "Please, make way. I really need to level grind. We can talk after I'm done."
"You..." Dongfang Yao trailed off, finally realizing that Lin Moyu truly didnât know how to engage in conversation.
Her mind raced as she quickly changed her approach, "Which dungeon are you planning to raid? Letâs team up."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "Iâm going solo."
...
Dongfang Yao wasnât ready to give up, "Soloing normal rank difficulty will slow you down a lot."
"Iâm soloing hell rank difficulty."
The words hit Dongfang Yao hard. She stared at him, momentarily speechless. There was no way she could believe he could solo hell rank dungeons. It sounded absurd. She wanted to argue but realized Lin Moyu had already walked past her and entered the Dungeon Hall proper.
Lin Moyu knew who Dongfang Yao wasâan imperial princess, a daughter of a god-level powerhouse. Coming from such a privileged background, she carried herself with an air of superiority, but Lin Moyu saw no reason to engage. Dealing with people like her was simply too much trouble.
Dongfang Yao followed after him, "Who are you trying to fool?"
Lin Moyu didnât bother responding. He had already decided which dungeon to tackle. Everything heâd said was the truth, whether she believed him or not.
He stopped in front of the Water God's Courtyard dungeon and looked up at the dungeon details. It was a level 37 dungeon, and the current record, set three months ago on nightmare difficulty, stood at 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 22 seconds. That time indicated that the dungeon wasnât particularly challengingâat least, that was what Lin Moyu initially thought.
On second thought, he realized his mistake.
The Water Godâs Courtyard was a level 37 dungeon that allowed entry to class users between level 32 and level 42. The party that set the record must have been composed of level 40-plus high-level class users. After the second class awakening, attributes and skills would see a significant boost and equipment would be upgraded to platinum rank.
That explained their speed. Not to mention, it was just nightmare rank difficulty, which wasnât particularly hard.
Seeing Lin Moyu stopping in front of the Water Godâs Courtyard, Dongfang Yao said, "You're doing this elemental dungeon? Me too. We really should team up."
At this moment, she made a strong effort to suppress her pride. She couldn't remember the last time she had been so patient with anyone. But her curiosity about Lin Moyuâthe youngest godly general in human history and a disciple of Mad Godâoverpowered her frustration. These two prestigious identities cloaked Lin Moyu in an aura of mystery, and Dongfang Yao couldnât help but want to uncover more about him.
Lin Moyu replied, "The dungeon might upgrade soon. You shouldn't go in for now."
Before Dongfang Yao could respond, Lin Moyu disappeared into the dungeon, leaving her stunned.
"The dungeon will upgrade? What does that even mean?!" She muttered in disbelief, "He really went in alone... is he planning to solo normal rank difficulty?"
What Lin Moyu had said wasnât just for her; it caught the attention of many others in the hall.
"Didn't the Fire God's Hall dungeon get upgraded after Lin Moyu went in?"
"Seems like he's the trigger for dungeon upgrade."
As these discussions flared up, the entire Dungeon Hall buzzed with speculation. Bets were placed on how long it would take Lin Moyu to clear the dungeon.
Curious, Dongfang Yao turned to the nearest group and asked, "Does he really always go solo?"
Being a beautiful woman, she was met with a swift and eager response, "Not always, but most of the time."
Another student immediately interjected, "What do you mean 'most of the time'? It's always solo! As for the time in the Tyrant Desert dungeon, he carried 39 people to earn points."
"Earn points? That was Godly General Lin doing charity. If it werenât for him, I wouldnât have been able to finish the dungeon mission."
"Exactly! You have no idea how long weâve been stuck on this mission."
"I wonder what record Godly General Lin will set this time."
"Itâll definitely be another unprecedented one."
The Dungeon Hall was filled with chatter, and Dongfang Yao listened carefully, slowly realizing that Lin Moyu wasnât exaggeratingâhe really soloed dungeons. People spoke about him with almost blind faith, as if he were unstoppable. He held records for multiple dungeons in the Dungeon Hall, each of which were feats in and of themselves. He even soloed the large Tyrant Desert dungeon.
The more she learned, the more Dongfang Yao had to concedeâthis was no fluke. Lin Moyu's achievements were staggering, a true testament to his monstrous skill.
In the end, Dongfang Yao summarized it perfectly: âthis guy is a total monster.â
Even among god-level experts, no one had been as monstrous as Lin Moyu in their youth. He was constantly setting new records, pushing the limits of what anyone thought was possible. Dongfang Yao had a strong sense that Lin Moyu was destined to become a god-level expert in the future.
...
In the Water God's Courtyard dungeon, Lin Moyu took in the serene surroundings. He stood in a courtyard framed by stone pillars, and waterfalls cascaded gently around him, contributing to the tranquil beauty of the place. The water element was abundant and lively, making the dungeon feel like a world purely devoted to the water element.
In the courtyard, there were water elemental monsters lazily floating in the water. These creatures had no defined formâthey were blobs of water, with no hands, feet, or eyes.
Recalling his experience with the Fire Godâs Hall dungeon, Lin Moyu understood that to trigger a dungeon upgrade, it required an intense disruptionâin other words, he had to clear the dungeon at an incredible speed.
[Spring Spren (enhanced elite monster)]
[Level: 37]
[Strength: 14,000]
[Agility: 6,000]
[Spirit: 10,000]
[Physique: 10,000]
[Skill: Engulfed]
[Traits: Water Elemental Immunity, Physical Immunity]
Despite being nightmare rank monsters, their attributes werenât strong. However, they had a significant advantage: complete immunity to both water elemental attacks and physical attacks. This meant Lin Moyuâs Skeletal Warriors couldn't harm them, leaving only his Skeletal Magesâexcluding the water-type Magesâcapable of dealing effective damage.
A cold wind howled as Lin Moyu summoned his undead army, quickly occupying the courtyard. His 19 undead legions advanced without hesitation, accompanied by eerie cracking sounds.
The Spring Spren reacted instantly. Despite lacking limbs, they attacked by leaping onto the Skeletal Warriors, enveloping their heads with their amorphous bodies. Although the Skeletal Warriors took continuous damage from this, it wasnât enough to seriously harm them. The Spring Spren, immune to physical damage, couldn't be countered by the Skeletal Warriors.
The Skeletal Magesâfire, earth, and wind typesâunleashed devastating spells with. Lin Moyu commanded over 3,600 Skeletal Mages, nearly 3,000 of which were effective in this dungeon. These level 39 Mages decimated the level 37 nightmare rank monsters, often eliminating them in a single strike.
The group advanced rapidly, moving without pause. Since elemental monsters left no corpses behind, Lin Moyu couldn't use Corpse Explosion. But their speed was already high enough. It didnât make much difference. The undead troops swept through the dungeon, clearing the monsters effortlessly.
For the level 39 Lin Moyu, raiding a level 37 dungeon, on nightmare rank difficulty, posed no challenge at all. He bulldozed through it with ease.
