**Chapter 529: Goodness, Here Comes Another One**

Bai Yiyuan hurriedly "escaped," leaving Lin Moyu amused.

Indeed, karma is inevitable. Just moments ago, he was mocking Meng Anwen behind his back, and now he found himself in a similar situation.

"It seems that Teacher Bai's story isn't simple either."

Lin Moyu smiled, pondering the possible stories behind Bai Yiyuan's actions.

Walking through the fortress, he blended into the crowd.

Three arenas in the fortress were glowing, covered by formations. 

Competitions were taking place on the arenas.

A knight and an archer were facing off on one of the arenas.

The arena wasn't very large, which wasn't advantageous for the archer.

However, the archer was very agile, constantly dodging the knight's attacks while counterattacking.

The knight, on the other hand, was relentless, charging forward with brute force.

Many people were watching from below, pointing and discussing the match.

Lin Moyu listened for a bit and understood the situation.

The archer on the arena was from the Zhang family in the northwest region of the empire. He claimed that even in limited space, an archer could use their agility and long-range attacks to dominate all melee professions.

His statement displeased others, and a knight from the Wang family in the southwest region immediately challenged him.

After some debate, they decided to settle it on the arena.

Their levels were similar, making it a fair match.

The other two arenas had similar situations, with people competing due to differing opinions.

Lin Moyu lost interest after a few glances.

The battles on the arena seemed like child's play to him.

They were too weak.

Every battle he had experienced, every enemy he had faced, was far stronger than these competitors.

"Lin Dummy!"

As he turned to leave the arena area, a familiar voice called out.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, recognizing the voice. Only a few people called him "Lin Dummy."

Turning around, he saw Xia Xue, accompanied by Feng Xiu and Zuo Mei.

Seeing Lin Moyu, the three of them quickly approached. Xia Xue cheerfully said, "I knew it was you. I wasn't mistaken."

"Long time no see," Lin Moyu greeted them.

It had been a while since he last saw them, and he was slightly surprised.

Xia Xue and Zuo Mei's auras had changed significantly.

Moreover, their levels...

Both Xia Xue and Zuo Mei had significantly increased their levels, both surpassing level 35.

In such a short time, they had leveled up by more than ten levels.

Their levels were now far ahead of their peers at the Xia Jing Academy, even surpassing some from the previous year.

In contrast, although Feng Xiu had also leveled up, he was only at level 30, slightly behind the two.

Lin Moyu guessed that something significant must have happened to them.

Xia Xue curiously asked, "With your status and strength, do you still need to conquer the Divine Stone Dungeon?"

Lin Moyu replied softly, "I'm here as a guest."

Zuo Mei said, "That's fortunate; otherwise, we wouldn't stand a chance."

With Lin Moyu's strength, not even the older generation could compare to him.

If Lin Moyu participated in the Divine Stone Dungeon, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Xia Xue laughed, "Exactly, if Lin Dummy joined the dungeon, we might as well give up."

Feng Xiu added, "The Divine Stone Dungeon is a special solo dungeon. The difficulty each person faces is based on their level."

"Level advantage isn't significant in the dungeon, but..."

He glanced at Lin Moyu, "But with Lin Shenjiang's combat power, if he participated, we wouldn't have a chance."

Lin Moyu smiled, "I'm not participating. You guys should strive for the final reward in the dungeon."

Xia Xue giggled, "That's half a Talent Divine Stone. There's a one-third chance of awakening a talent during the third job transition."

As they chatted, they unknowingly arrived at another area of the fortress.

This area had a strong commercial atmosphere, with many restaurants and inns, mostly set up for the Divine Stone event.

The four of them chose a restaurant and sat by a window.

Xia Xue whispered, "Lin Dummy, do you think Zuo Mei and I leveled up too quickly?"

Lin Moyu indeed had this question.

Xia Xue explained, "I returned to my family and activated my bloodline. My strength is much higher than before."

Lin Moyu knew that Xia Xue was Xia Bojian's granddaughter and a member of the Xia family.

The Xia family in Xia Jing, though not as prominent as the Ning family, was still an old and prestigious family with a long history.

Having some heritage was normal.

Just like Ning Yiyi, who trained diligently and leveled up quickly.

What puzzled Lin Moyu the most was Zuo Mei. How did she level up so quickly?

Xia Xue explained on behalf of Zuo Mei, "You don't know, but Zuo Mei is a descendant of the legendary Zuo family."

The legendary Zuo family...

Lin Moyu's mind immediately recalled information about this family.

In human history, many families have existed, some for thousands of years, others for just a few decades.

The Zuo family had existed for over five hundred years and was well-known among the major families.

The Zuo family was famous for being an assassin family, with almost all its members being stealth professionals.

They had perfected the assassin profession, becoming the pinnacle of assassins.

Moreover, the Zuo family's bloodline had a unique trait: once activated, each job transition would result in a profession upgrade.

Every generation of the Zuo family produced several high-level legendary professionals, and they consistently had god-level experts.

They had assassinated demon kings and demons, achieving legendary feats.

The name "Legendary Zuo Family" came from their remarkable achievements.

Some even predicted that if a god-level expert from the Zuo family reached the half-step super-god level, they would have the ability to assassinate a demon emperor.

As a result, the Zuo family became a thorn in the side of the demon kings.

Decades ago, demons launched an attack on the Zuo family.

The demons first attacked in the Yuan battlefield, drawing away the Zuo family's two god-level experts and surrounding them with numerous demon kings.

Meanwhile, the Demon Worshippers launched a full-scale assault on the Zuo family, summoning demon king avatars.

The Zuo family was almost entirely wiped out overnight.

Few people knew about this, and Lin Moyu had only read about it in extensive records.

Lin Moyu looked at Zuo Mei, "I didn't expect you to be from the Zuo family."

Zuo Mei nodded, "Senior Xia took me back to the family. Although no one is left, the family's heritage remains."

Lin Moyu acknowledged, "The Zuo family was once powerful and glorious. That's why the demon kings feared them."

"Since you've inherited the Zuo family's bloodline, you must be cautious in the future."

Feng Xiu added softly, "Very few people know about this. It won't be revealed until Zuo Mei can protect herself."

Lin Moyu said, "If there's anything I can do, just let me know."

The Zuo family's ancestors had made significant contributions to humanity, and Lin Moyu respected them greatly.

Zuo Mei said, "Thank you, Lin Shenjiang."

Lin Moyu shook his head, "We're friends."

Xia Xue giggled, "Exactly, we're friends. No need for formalities."

Suddenly, footsteps echoed, and a large group of people ascended the stairs.

A fragrant scent filled the air as a group of women entered.

Leading them was Jialan Yeyu, who immediately spotted Lin Moyu and exclaimed, "You're alive!"

A figure rushed over, enveloping Lin Moyu in a fragrant embrace.

Before anyone could react, the person had already hugged Lin Moyu tightly.

"You're alive, thank goodness."

Mu Qianqian cried, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Xia Xue and the others watched in astonishment, their eyes filled with curiosity.

They had seen Ning Yiyi before, so who was this beautiful woman?

Mu Qianqian was too emotional to notice her surroundings.

She had been worried about Lin Moyu, and seeing him alive overwhelmed her with emotion.

Lin Moyu gently patted Mu Qianqian, "Of course, I'm not dead. But if you keep hugging me, I might suffocate."

Mu Qianqian gasped and quickly let go.

Realizing her behavior was a bit inappropriate, her face turned as red as an apple.

At that moment, a beam of white light descended from the sky, illuminating the restaurant.

"Lin Moyu, long time no see!"

Mo Yun, riding her Holy Spirit Unicorn, landed by the window, greeting Lin Moyu.

Xia Xue whispered, "Goodness, here comes another one."

Zuo Mei and Feng Xiu nodded in agreement.

Just then, another person ascended the stairs, spotting Lin Moyu by the window and calling out sweetly, "Lin Xuedi!"
