"Brother! Wake up!"

"President, wake up."

Leng Qingying and Bai Lu said in unison.

Hearing their shouts, Lu Cang was speechless.

"What are you thinking? I'm perfectly awake."

"I've already said this before, haven't I? Xin Baiyue and we have a cooperative relationship."

“That’s what they say…” Bai Lu muttered.

Xin Baiyue turned her head, smiled, and waved to Bai Lu, giving a symbolic greeting.

Seeing Xin Baiyue's smile made Bai Lu feel as if she were bathed in a spring breeze.

Xin Baiyue said softly, "Your brother won't fall for me so easily."

"I am merely here as an ally for a visit."

Lu Cang also stated, "We need Xin Baiyue to help us clear a dungeon, but Xin Baiyue is a native of this world and cannot directly enter the dungeon with us, so we need the guild's base as a transit point."

"Brother...you mean, let her enter the instance through the teleportation channel?"

"Yes, that's it."

"So, it can be done this way too." Leng Qingying clearly hadn't expected this either.

It's understandable that Xin Baiyue is currently at the guild's base, since they also need to enter the dungeon. If Xin Baiyue isn't waiting at the guild's base, who will pick her up later?

Lu Cang needs a guide, so they'll definitely be going to a dungeon.

Are you suggesting that someone from outside the heavens should be alone with Xin Baiyue? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?

While Lu Cang was explaining, Xin Baiyue simply smiled slightly and did not interrupt.

But in reality, she was just sitting there, and Lu Cang became the background.

"Hmm, just as he said, I only reached a cooperation agreement with him."

"Eh... I see." Bai Lu felt something was off, but there was nothing really wrong with it.

Bai Lu patted the brave and fearless man next to her, pulling him back from his reverie.

"ah?"

"Damn it!" Only then did the fearless warrior realize he had been lost in a fantasy.

Young people just starting college can hardly resist such beauty.

In real life, any pretty girl could probably seduce him out of his underwear, let alone Xin Baiyue.

Lu Cang said to Xin Baiyue, "You should cover your face."

Xin Baiyue's beauty is indiscriminate, unlike Bai Lu's magic, which can control whether to harm the enemy or herself.

Xin Baiyue may not use her skills on allies, but if her teammates see what she's thinking, there's nothing they can do.

After all, it's not a skill, it's just for looks.

"I am so beautiful, wouldn't it be a waste to cover my face?" Xin Baiyue said softly.

Despite saying that, she still conjured a mask and gently put it on, covering half of her face.

She stood up, turned slightly, and changed into a long, conservative dress.

By concealing herself in this way, she managed to reduce her allure somewhat, but even so, the charm she exuded was still unmatched by any other woman.

However, this is still better than the situation just now.

Leng Qingying, Bai Lu, Yongzhe Wuwei, and the others finally stopped having their hearts pounding because of this.

Xin Baiyue silently became a background figure, quietly sipping her coffee.

Lu Cang then began his commentary on the battle: "You fought well just now."

"However, there are still quite a few shortcomings."

“Zuya, if Wuwei is attacked, there is no need to protect him immediately. Your protection will only hinder his performance.”

"After being attacked, Fearless is immune for a period of time and can also forcibly intimidate the enemy. If White Deer does not lock down the enemy, Fearless's intimidation can also have a control effect."

"Moreover, a more reliable way to control the situation is to wait until the enemy is about to be intimidated by the fearlessness before activating the Heaven and Earth Thunder Prison. This will increase the chance of locking the enemy in place. If you activate the Thunder Prison first, the enemy is more likely to dodge it."

"Fearless, the opening animation of the Closed Circle Slash is very long. If you want to initiate a mid-range battle, the Shattering Sky Strike is more useful. It is an invisible attack, and the opponent will have less time to react. If your first strike hits directly, it will be instantly killed."

"Also, Xiao Leng, when you were chasing, you could have directly used the shadow of the Shadow Killer to pursue. It's not that you didn't think of this, you just didn't want to be hit by its arrows at close range. If it were a solo battle, this would be the right thing to do, but now it's a team battle. You can trust Zuya's protective abilities. If your teammates have enough ability to protect you, you can be a little more aggressive in your playstyle. There's no need to dodge all the attacks, as that would just waste your output environment."

"Shumi, have you ever tried weaving spider web arrows into your homing arrows to block its movement? Spider web arrows are very useful for restricting movement; if used properly, it's very difficult for the enemy to escape from you."

"LuLu, you actually did quite well this time. You were able to play the role of a destruction mage in this kind of terrain, which is already very good. But if you could release an ice tornado in mid-air, you could further restrict the opponent's movements. The range of the Thunder Prison's restriction could actually be smaller."

Lu Cang gave a commentary on everyone's battles.

After Lu Cang's assessment, everyone realized that what they thought was a perfect battle was actually full of flaws, and that teammates had even hindered each other's performance.

Under Lu Cang's tactics, the battle could have ended immediately from the start, without needing to last so long.

"However, this is the first time you've cooperated without my command, so it's not bad." Lu Cang didn't hold back his praise.

Everyone starts as a newbie and grows up. When Lu Cang was honing his skills and tactics, he made a lot of mistakes.

Even in his second life, he still made quite a few mistakes.

"Boss, what dungeon are we going to be doing later?"

"We actually need to call for reinforcements to clear this dungeon? Is it really that difficult?"

“That’s true, I’m curious too, meow.” Xiu Mi also felt a little puzzled.

The situation is different now compared to when we fought Doomsday Night. Back then, there were only five people fighting Doomsday Night, and Zuya hadn't even completed his first awakening, and Xiumi hadn't joined a guild.

Now, the arrogant and fearless warriors can become combat power, and Zuya has also completed his first awakening. Almost everyone is equipped with five-star skills, and two of their exclusive weapons have been upgraded to platinum quality. Their strength has undergone a significant qualitative change. With such a luxurious configuration, how difficult must the dungeon be if they still need to call for reinforcements to solve it?

"It is indeed a very difficult dungeon."

"This is the path we must take; it is necessary in every sense of the word."

Lu Cang asked calmly, "Wuwei, what is our challenge?"

After leaving the Trial City, Lu Cang and the others have already accepted the challenge mission.

However, this challenge left everyone quite confused.

"Oh right, boss, you said you'd explain to us once we got to our destination!"

"Basic task: Complete one forbidden zone instance."

"It's a dungeon anyway, so that's understandable. But what's this about obtaining the Divine Flame in the advanced challenge?" the fearless warrior asked, puzzled.

Xin Baiyue, who was standing in the background, trembled slightly when she heard the question from the fearless warrior.

Fortunately, the coffee didn't spill.

“Fearless, I must have told you quite a few legends about gods along the way.”

"Beings possessing divinity will have an extremely strong advantage; they can ignore the vast majority of attacks, skills, and special effects."

"The so-called divine spark is the foundation for ascending to godhood, allowing mortals to become gods and beings above ordinary mortals. Only after ascending to godhood can this world truly begin."

"Wow, boss, you mean...we can become gods? We can become gods just by going to that dungeon?" The fearless warrior held his breath for a moment before finally uttering the word. Become a god? That's such an awesome phrase.

"No, this is just one step. It's still a long way from truly becoming a god, but you can understand it that way if you want."

The brave warrior's eyes lit up. God! Isn't that the legendary being even more awesome than a dragon?

"This is one of the ways to obtain the divine fire."

"Secondly, we are still lacking materials to upgrade our platinum equipment, and these materials can only be obtained from high-difficulty dungeons."

"Third time, Xiao Leng."

Lu Cang took out a bottle from his backpack. Inside the bottle was a void of dark matter that resembled a gene spiral.

This is the [Essence of Nothingness] obtained during [Night of the Apocalypse].

Leng Qingying looked at the item in Lu Cang's hand. She was also very curious about what this thing was. It was a unique item, and the president seemed to care about it a lot.

"There's no need to settle for mediocrity. Being a little special is fine too. I won't let anyone fall behind. In my guild, there is no such thing as mediocrity."

Lu Cang smiled faintly.

Leng Qingying was touched, remembering what Lu Cang had told her a few days ago.

"You're always so indiscriminate, that's why you'll always be a second-rate assassin. If you were even a little bit more particular, you'd be much stronger."

"Tsk, president..."

"Don't suddenly move me." Leng Qingying had already guessed that this might be something like an arrogant attitude.

Currently, there are only two exclusive weapons that have been upgraded to Platinum quality: one is the [Humble] Greatsword, which was renamed from Brave Warrior, and the other is Zuya's Brilliant Plating.

[Humility] After the greatsword was upgraded to Platinum quality, it was also enhanced to +6 along the way.

The strength bonus is as high as 450,000.

Thanks to this, the Warrior's strength value has exceeded one million, making him the person with the highest value in the Godslayer Guild.

After all, the bonus from double attributes becomes increasingly outrageous as the game progresses.

The initial 2000 becomes 4000, and the extra 2000 attribute points can be obtained through some means.

However, once the initial two million becomes four million, it becomes difficult to accumulate an additional two million attribute points; the higher the value goes, the harder it becomes.

The simplest and most direct translation is that the attributes of one piece of equipment can be used as two.

In addition to its attribute values, the Platinum-tier [Humble Greatsword] has three weapon effects.

[Charged Slash - Normal attack can be charged for up to five seconds, unleashing a sword aura that deals 3-25 times the user's strength as damage. The sword aura has a maximum range of 200 meters and its flight speed is greatly increased.]

[Power Accumulation Extension - Extends the range of power-accumulation skills by 250%]

[Follow-up Speed ​​Boost - After each fully charged attack, you can perform a 50-meter dash, lasting 0.5 seconds.]

With the added benefits of domineering presence, arrogant demeanor, and the range of the charged extension, the sword aura can now reach a distance of over one kilometer. Skills such as Closed Circle Slash and Endless Sword Draw Slash also have a range of one kilometer and half a kilometer.

With the addition of the "Accelerated Speed" skill, the pain point of the Brave Warrior being unable to catch up with others has finally been made up.

Being run around like a dog by Lu Cang in the arena was truly awful, and it made the fearless warrior realize the pain point of not having enough speed.

If someone really wanted to slip away from him, he simply couldn't catch up.

Even if you manage to intimidate them, as long as the opponent is far enough away, you can still only be worn down from a distance until you are reduced to red rage and enter the second stage.

But the second stage is the last resort.

Now that you have the speed boost effect, it's equivalent to a low-cooldown multi-stage dash for the Brave Warrior.

Anyone who dares to hit him will be cut down by the Seven or Eight Slashes.

Zuya's exclusive weapon equipment adds 400,000 constitution points. Combined with other equipment that provides constitution points, as well as class and adamantite enhancements, Zuya's constitution has exceeded 600,000.

With 600,000 constitution points equaling 9 million health points, plus the 1 million health points added by Life Points, Zuya's health points exceeded 10 million.

As for the three effects of Zuya's exclusive weapon.

The first change is that the damage from dismantling has been increased from 7 stages to 9 stages.

Secondly, the maximum damage reduction for adaptive damage has been increased from 50% to 60%.

The third new effect is called Restoration Protection—the shield will not be destroyed by additional shield-breaking effects, and the effects of healing reduction are reduced by 50%.

Zuya's five-star skill can repeatedly switch between shields and health.

All of this is based on the premise that shields can be generated normally and health can be restored normally. If the effects of shields and healing are weakened, then the effects of shield conversion and health conversion will be greatly reduced.

After all, we can't just focus on Zuya and the fearless warrior.

Lu Cang himself, Bai Lu, Xiu Mi, and Leng Qingying all have two exclusive weapons, a total of five exclusive weapons that are eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Although it's true that using a unique weapon can save a lot of enhancement materials.

However, when it comes to upgrading, the exclusive weapon is truly a monster that devours materials.

-------------------------------------

After making the decision, the group left White City. The Golden Crimson Flame Horse ran for an hour, during which they also completed three dungeons of insane difficulty.

Dungeons with the difficulty of Despair are indeed rare.

They only encountered two such dungeons along the way, and both were beyond their level range, being extremely difficult dungeons for levels 50-60. At their current level of 70, they were no longer able to complete them.

Three insanely difficult dungeons were no longer enough for everyone to reach level 71.

Currently, the guilds have piles of three-star skill books, and no one even wants to learn three-star skills.

It consumes too many skill points, and the effect isn't particularly strong.

If you absolutely must learn it, then learn at least a four-star or higher one.

Other human players have skill points, but no high-level skill books to learn.

Lu Cang and the others were short on skill points and didn't want to use the pile of skill books they had. Fortunately, they had Lu Cang, an all-rounder, who kept all the three-star skill books he had saved.

When the time comes, you can directly learn three-star skills, which is much better than one-star skills.

Finally, we arrived at our destination.

Before everyone, a golden giant sword pierced the earth from the clouds, its blade inscribed in ancient language: "Forbidden Zone of Light, Slay All Gods."
