Chapter 210: Old Classmates, Tasking Along

The Genesis Academy and Flame Emperor Academy both failed. Lin...

Even though they had cleared the instance, even ranked on it.

But for their top academies, it was considered a failure.

A thorough defeat.

The departure of both sides was vividly described, and it was believed that it would soon spread throughout Xiajing Academy.

"Haha, look at them, even the elites from the top academy are nothing special."

"They came in all high and mighty, but leave with their tails between their legs."

Discussion was ongoing in front of the instance hall.

It was as if Lin Moyu's victory was their victory.

At this moment, students from independent academies and regular students united.

Lin Moyu's reputation soared once again.

However, he was completely unaware of what was happening outside while indulging in speed-running the instance.

Every time he finished, he stayed outside for less than a second.

He didn't even bother to check the results of the Genesis Academy and Flame Emperor Academy.

There was simply no need.

Lin Moyu was certain that no one could break his record in this instance.

Even he found it difficult to surpass his own record.

After five consecutive runs, another Flame Crystal merged.

Lin Moyu didn't rest, still caught up in the excitement, enjoying the speed-run.

With Ning Tairan's privilege, he didn't need to worry about points.

It only cost 100 points to enter and 500 to reset.

A drop in the bucket.

The speed-running efficiency was extremely high, and experience skyrocketed.

By the time the second Flame Crystal merged, his experience had reached 93%.

Basically, every run increased his experience by about 10%.

Another run and he could reach level 29.

"Keep it up!"

Lin Moyu was excited, even wanting to reach level 30 in one go.

"How many times does he want to run?"

"I don't know, I've counted, he's run at least eight times."

"More than that, I've counted too. Adding the first two times, it's already ten times."

"Is he made of iron? Even running the same instance ten times in a row, I'd feel nauseous."

"It depends on the gains. This is a hell difficulty, with super high experience. If I had such high gains, I'd be willing to run it a hundred or a thousand times!"

Running alone meant all the experience materials belonged to him alone.

And the efficiency was so high.

Amidst the discussion, Lin Moyu emerged from the instance once again.

By now, he had reached level 29.

In less than a day, he had gone from level 28 to 29.

For anyone else, reaching a level up in a month would be considered good.

Lin Moyu did it in just a day.

From level 29, the rate of experience increase slowed down.

It would take about 13 to 14 more runs to reach level 30.

Lin Moyu ran four more times, completing the fusion of the third Flame Crystal.

Before leveling up, he depleted all his mental power to summon three skeleton warriors.

Because of repeated instance runs, his mental power had never been full.

At the time of leveling up, he could only summon three skeleton warriors.

After fusing the third Flame Crystal, he summoned seven more skeleton warriors.

Expanding the number of skeleton warriors to 190, filling all summoning slots.

With his mental power depleted, he finally felt tired.

His body issued warnings, and he knew he had to rest, after all, he wasn't a warrior with strong recovery abilities.

While his mental strength could continue, his body couldn't hold on.

He found a place outside the instance hall to sit and rest.

His body was exhausted, but his mind was still excited.

There was no way around it; speed-running was too enjoyable.

Lin Moyu was somewhat addicted to this feeling.

But he knew it wasn't right, it shouldn't be like this.

As a professional, especially a mage, he had to keep himself in a calm state at all times.

No matter what, staying calm would lead to the most correct decisions and unleash the strongest combat power.

Listening to the distant discussions, Lin Moyu listened carefully.

Everyone was discussing the Genesis Academy and Flame Emperor Academy.

The people here were either from independent academies or regular students.

They had both envy and jealousy towards the geniuses in the top academies.

It was a complicated emotion.

Seeing them fail, for some reason, they felt a bit of schadenfreude.

Gradually calming down, Lin Moyu tried to free himself from the state of addiction.

Finally, he entered a state of meditation.

His mental power began to recover rapidly.

He didn't know how long had passed until someone came to him.

"Lin Moyu."

A clear voice sounded.

Lin Moyu opened his eyes, revealing a slight smile.

"It's you guys."

Xia Xue, Feng Xiu, and Zuo Mei stood in front of him.

Xia Xue teased, "Lin Champion, congratulations!"

"Lin Moyu, congratulations."

"Congratulations!"

Feng Xiu and Zuo Mei also congratulated Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu stood up, "How did you guys do in the professional competition?"

In the professional competition, Lin Moyu didn't see them.

Xia Xue sighed, "Don't mention it, we didn't even pass the preliminaries and came back directly."

Seeing their unpleasant expressions, Lin Moyu didn't ask further.

Feng Xiu said, "It's not a big deal, after all, we just entered the academy, our levels and equipment are not as good as others, it's normal not to pass the preliminaries."

Xia Xue followed, "So we decided to come back early and grind levels by running instances."

Zuo Mei added, "We're already level 20 now."

In just a few days, they had reached level 20, showing that they were indeed working hard.

During these days, they probably ran the instances many times.

The leveling speed before level 20 wasn't slow.

As long as they could find suitable instances, leveling up one level a day was normal.

Especially in the instance hall, as long as they were willing to spend points, they could reset the instances infinitely, ignoring the cooldown time.

As long as they weren't afraid of fatigue, leveling up was fast.

Lin Moyu said, "Have you all received instance tasks?"

"We did!" Xia Xue shook her communicator.

Every new student would receive instance tasks issued by the academy.

Among them, from level 20 to 30, there were exactly ten instances that needed to be completed.

The academy didn't limit the difficulty, as long as they could complete the instances, even if it was only normal difficulty, it would suffice.

The only troublesome one among these ten instances was the large-scale instance, Tyrant's Desert.

It wasn't that the instance was particularly difficult, but it required a team of 40 people.

Many people were stuck at this step.

It could be considered a test given by the academy to the students.

Lin Moyu said, "I'll take you guys through the Tyrant's Desert instance."

He had previously agreed to take them through the Tyrant's Desert once they reached level 20.

Originally, Lin Moyu wanted to wait until he reached level 30 before contacting them.

The Tyrant's Desert instance was

 level 25, allowing entry from levels 20 to 30.

30 was the limit; once he reached level 31, he wouldn't be able to enter anymore.

Now it just happened that they were also at level 20.

...

Lin Moyu had mentioned this to them before, but they didn't pay much attention at the time.

Xia Xue was surprised, "But that's a large-scale instance, requiring 40 people in a team. We can't find that many people."

They were all freshmen with limited acquaintances, and their levels were still too low.

Lin Moyu shook his head, "No need to find others, I'll take you."

The three of them showed surprised expressions. They knew Lin Moyu wasn't joking; he could really take them.

Feng Xiu still couldn't believe it, "You can solo a large-scale instance?"

Lin Moyu nodded affirmatively.

Amidst their shock, Lin Moyu led them into the instance hall and arrived at the entrance of Tyrant's Desert.

They saw Lin Moyu's leading solo record displayed on the screen.

Time: 6 hours, 11 minutes, 33 seconds.

The three were speechless.

Not only did he solo it, but he also took first place.

They had teamed up with others for the Mutant Forest instance before, and Lin Moyu had ranked first there too.

But could small instances and large-scale instances be the same?

Could instances below level 20 be compared to a level 25 instance?

As everyone knew, the higher the level of the instance, the harder it was to solo.

It seemed unreal.

Lin Moyu ignored the psychological changes of the three and directly formed a team with them.

With him as the leader, the four entered the Tyrant's Desert instance together.

Yellow sand filled the sky, and a gust of wind blew, raising sand.

Above their heads was a large sun.

The temperature was rising rapidly.

"So this is the Tyrant's Desert instance, it's really a desert, so hot."

"It's endless, looks so vast, it's easy to get lost here."

"Which direction should we go?"

All three of them were entering the instance for the first time, looking like curious little babies.

Having gotten used to the heat of the Fire God's Palace, the temperature in the Tyrant's Desert was pleasant and very comfortable.

190 skeleton warriors appeared densely in front of them, like an army running forward.

"There are monsters in the desert, follow me!"

Lin Moyu issued orders to the three, and they followed closely behind him. [End of translation.]
