"Yes, Teacher Jiang!" The new students of Qinghua Academy replied excitedly.
Jiangwu Youyou's flawless face also blossomed into a smile: "Congratulations to all my junior schoolmates for passing the assessment. You have one evening to go back and pack your things."
"Tomorrow morning, we will gather here again, and we will use the city's Teleportation Array to return directly to Tianjing City."
As the two highest academies of the East Dragon Empire, Qinghua Academy and Beida Academy are both located in Tianjing City.
Everyone agreed in unison and left to pack their luggage.
Under the covert watch of Jiang Zhen and Jiangwu Youyou, Li Haotian also followed the crowd and left.
...
Late at night, Four Symbols City, a villa at Lianhua Villa.
In the opulently decorated hall, Yuan Ting sat gloomily on the leather sofa.
Opposite him was a middle-aged man dressed in a finely tailored suit, his hair slicked back.
The middle-aged man held a cigar as thick as an adult's finger, his brow slightly furrowed as if contemplating something.
After a while, he slowly spoke: "You mean that Li Haotian kid has a secret?"
Yuan Ting nodded, "Dad, I fought against that Yun Lan's illusion. I am sure if Li Haotian didn't have some other methods, he could never have killed Yun Lan's illusion in twenty seconds."
"Yun Lan herself is an Illusion God professional, her attack power as a Battle Mage is even stronger than my Night Patrol Deity, let alone, Yun Lan is a Level 29 Battle Mage."
"Even if the illusion only had half the power of the real Yun Lan, it's not something a Mechanic who had just changed classes three days ago could contend with."
"Don't forget, Yun Lan has already studied at Beida Academy for a year. As a student representative of Beida, her strength is absolutely elite among the elite."
"But even so, her illusion couldn't last twenty seconds in front of Li Haotian. This is completely abnormal!"
"Doesn't this imply that not even Yun Lan's true form is a match for Li Haotian? How is that possible!"
Hearing Yuan Ting's words, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, agreeing with his son's viewpoint.
"So what do you think his secret is?"
Yuan Ting frowned for a long time, then shook his head helplessly.
"I don't know either, but I have a hunch that Li Haotian's ability to repeatedly exploit instance bugs and quickly solo instances is definitely related to the secret he's hiding."
"If I could learn his secret, maybe I could become as strong as he is!"
"Moreover," Yuan Ting's eyes gleamed, "Dad, don't you want to know how Li Haotian exploits the instance bugs?"
"If he can continue to exploit bugs from Level 10 to Level 20 instances, doesn't this mean even if he levels up in the future, he can still exploit bugs in instances?"
"Dad, if we could grasp his secret, then we wouldn't lack instance resources in the future, and we could definitely accelerate the development of our family greatly!"
"Instance resources..." The middle-aged man murmured, still seeming hesitant.
"But now he's already a student at Qinghua Academy. If we want to deal with him, we must ensure that this secret does not leak out."
"Otherwise, if we offend Qinghua Academy, it would be a big problem."
Yuan Ting said viciously, "I know, Dad. Arrange the manpower first, I will keep an eye on Li Haotian's movements, and once we find an opportunity, we will..."
Yuan Ting made a vicious throat-cutting gesture.
Just then, suddenly, a dazzling red light shot in through the window.
Yuan Ting and the middle-aged man immediately noticed the anomaly and quickly got up to check outside.
"This, this is..." The middle-aged man stared incredulously at the red pillar of light outside the city, which seemed to pierce the heavens and earth.
"Random Abyss Dungeon!?" Li Haotian had just returned home, packed up his things, and was about to sleep, also drawn by the red light outside the window, gazing in surprise at the red pillar of light.
"The restricted Level is...Level 30?" Seeing the faint three stripes in the light pillar, Li Haotian murmured to himself.
As a top student, knowledge about Abyss Dungeons quickly surfaced in Li Haotian's mind.
Abyss Dungeons are divided into Random Abyss Dungeons and Directed Abyss Dungeons, the instances with the highest returns apart from large-scale raids and world instances.
As the name implies, Random Abyss Dungeons could appear anywhere in the world at random, with the most prominent feature being a red pillar of light seemingly piercing the heavens and earth.
The location of the red pillar of light marks the teleportation entrance of the Random Abyss Dungeon.
The number of stripes in the light pillar indicates the Level restrictions for entering the Random Abyss Dungeon.
As for the other kind, Directed Abyss Dungeons, they can only be accessed using Abyss Tokens produced in Random Abyss Dungeons.
Regardless of the type of Abyss Dungeon, it signifies a wealth of abyss materials and experience, and any Abyss Monster has the potential to drop pink equipment and purple equipment, with drop rates ten times higher than regular instances!
Moreover, Abyss Dungeons are the only instances that can produce Legendary orange equipment!
Besides gold-colored Epic Equipment, the Legendary orange equipment produced in Abyss Dungeons is the best equipment low-Level professionals can obtain.
As gold-colored Epic Equipment only drops in large-scale raids, and only professionals Level 50 and above are eligible to enter such raids!
"Ding ding ding——"
Just then, a series of notifications came from Li Haotian's phone.
He opened his phone to see that Jiang Zhen was sending a message in the newly established freshman group.
Jiang Zhen: @everyone, a Random Abyss Dungeon has appeared in Four Symbols City. During the appearance of the Random Abyss Dungeon, all city Teleportation Arrays within a hundred-mile radius will be locked down. Our return trip tomorrow morning is canceled. We will return to Tianjing City after the Random Abyss Dungeon is cleared.
Looking at this message, Li Haotian was not surprised at all.
Because the regional lockdown feature of Random Abyss Dungeons was something he had learned from textbooks before.
Once a Random Abyss Dungeon appears, within a hundred-mile radius, all professionals can only enter but not leave, as if they are forcibly locked down, while ordinary people without awakened professions are not affected.
Moreover, this "only enter, not leave" rule also has Level restrictions.
For example, the Random Abyss Dungeon that appeared now restricts entry to Level 30, so the forced lockdown around a hundred miles applies to Level 30.
All professionals above Level 30 will not be able to enter.
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—"
The shrill alarm sound came from the City Lord Mansion at the center of Four Symbols City.
The City Lord's authoritative voice followed: "Professionals of Four Symbols City, the Abyss Dungeon that has appeared this time is restricted to Level 30. Professionals below Level 30 can proceed to the teleportation entrance to clear the Abyss Dungeon."
"The time limit for clearing this Abyss Dungeon is three days. I wish you success in your endeavor!"
