Chapter 642: This Person Must Be Crippled
“No problem……”
Princess Alice said through gritted teeth.
An elderly minister beside her let out a bitter laugh and shook his head.
Truthfully, even if they opposed it, it wouldn’t matter.
“In addition, I heard that Gewot City has several level 75-90 secret dungeon instances that are still intact and haven’t been destroyed by the Hundred Ghost Army, correct?”
At this moment, Ling Zhan asked with a bright smile.
Before this, Gewot City was the most popular city in the Blazing Heart Empire, even surpassing the capital in terms of prosperity.
If it were merely a tourist city, it would never have attracted so many transfer professionals.
In truth…
This city was the designated location for placing secret dungeon instances within the Blazing Heart Empire.
Additionally, on the outskirts of Gewot City, there was a small underground dungeon. Although it wasn’t as massive as the one in the Holy Light Empire, it was sufficient for transfer professionals between levels 40 and 60 to level up.
Thanks to these factors, Gewot City became a hub of activity.
Many adventurers gathered in this city.
This is also why…
When the Hundred Ghost Army attacked, these adventurers fought valiantly, preventing Gewot City from falling and holding out until the allied forces arrived.
Because of their efforts, several dungeon instances in Gewot City remained intact.
“Correct. Those dungeon instances are of legendary difficulty. Entering them without sufficient preparation would only lead to death,” Princess Alice replied.
Even at level 75, Princess Alice didn’t dare to claim she could successfully clear those dungeons, even when teamed with other elites of the same level.
This unclassed wanderer’s abilities were simply too outrageous.
Her defeat in their duel stemmed from his inexplicable ability to extinguish her Fire Phoenix bloodline.
However, such methods would be ineffective in dungeon instances.
PK between transfer professionals differed greatly from dungeon runs.
Ling Zhan nodded and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll clear one after the meeting. I should also level up a bit since I’ve lingered in the 70s for too long.”
His tone was as casual as saying, “I’m hungry, so I’ll grab lunch.”
Princess Alice and the other high-ranking officials were stunned.
This was a “simple” matter?
That was a legendary trial dungeon!
The difficulty was extraordinarily high!!
Yet, in his eyes, it was merely “simple”?
Even more baffling…
The members of the special reserve team didn’t show the slightest hint of shock!
Wait…
Did they genuinely believe Ling Zhan soloing a legendary dungeon was easy?
If Princess Alice and the others had witnessed the battle at Drak City, they wouldn’t doubt Ling Zhan’s ability to solo legendary dungeons.
What a joke!
Forget legendary dungeons.
Ling Zhan could level an entire metropolis of tens of millions with a single skill!
“Bassor, guide Mr. Ling Zhan to the legendary trial dungeon entrance!”
At this moment.
Princess Alice, driven by curiosity, issued the command.
Captain Bassor scoffed but begrudgingly led the way.
Ling Zhan couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Bassor’s attitude. To him, this man likely believed Ling Zhan’s victory over Princess Alice was due to luck and some inexplicable trick, fueling his dissatisfaction.
Such individuals were akin to clowns, unworthy of concern.
However…
While Ling Zhan dismissed it, Zhou Xue’er’s cold gaze settled on Bassor’s back.
This man dared to show disdain towards the person she admired?
“Ying Tong.”
Zhou Xue’er spoke calmly.
“Yes, Vice Captain Zhou,” Ying Tong responded respectfully.
Ying Tong wasn’t just Zhou Xue’er’s deputy but also a bodyguard dispatched by the Zhou family.
Before Ling Zhan’s arrival, only Zhou Xue’er surpassed Ying Tong in strength within the Ninth Squad.
Thanks to Ling Zhan’s presence, the squad’s achievements skyrocketed, earning them more resources, significantly boosting their strength.
Zhou Xue’er was now level 93.
Ying Tong was level 92.
The rest of the squad had a minimum level of 85.
Previously, the Ninth Squad’s overall strength was slightly below average. Now, among the allied forces, they ranked above average.
With Ling Zhan, a monstrous talent, the Ninth Squad could handle top-tier battlefield missions.
Moreover…
Every member of the special reserve team came from prestigious schools.
Forget equal-level combat—they could easily defeat adventurer-class professionals five levels above them.
At this moment.
Zhou Xue’er coldly ordered, “Bassor must be crippled!”
She didn’t specify how.
But as a deathsworn of the Zhou family, Ying Tong understood perfectly.
“Yes, Miss Zhou!” Ying Tong replied icily.
Her gaze locked onto Bassor’s back.
When Bassor left the battlefield, he’d likely be a cripple.
A trained deathsworn knew precisely how to render a professional powerless without taking their life.
Shortly after…
The group arrived at Gewot City’s Secret Realm Hall.
Notably…
Several secret dungeon instances remained intact.
Despite the Hundred Ghost Army’s siege, the hall was still bustling with transfer professionals.
Princess Alice had decreed that during these troubled times, all diamond-tier and lower instances would be free of charge.
No Saint Crystals were required to enter.
The professionals eagerly seized this opportunity.
This rapid leveling helped them better combat the ghostly thralls.
Of course…
Gewot City’s survival also depended on its protective formation.
Although its magical reserves were nearly depleted, the barrier held. The allied forces’ arrival was a timely salvation.
This also exposed Duke Assad’s true colors to Princess Alice.
“Mr. Ling Zhan, this way, please!”
Under the curious and scrutinizing gazes of professionals, Princess Alice led the group to a secluded chamber.
Here lay the entrance to five legendary trial dungeons.
