Chapter 108: Humbling the Daylight Academy, and Meeting Li Liushui Again

Not only had he broken the clearance record, he had also obtained the Forest King’s demon core. That was an immense honor.

For all the students of Daybreak Academy, this was cause for celebration.

As for Yang Feng, Bai Shengli had long since forgotten him.

At that moment, the screen refreshed again.

The team that had previously held first place was pushed down to second, and a new clearance record officially appeared.

Name: Yang Feng

Level: 22

Clearance Time: 13 hours, 56 minutes, 55 seconds

When Yang Feng’s name appeared, everyone was stunned.

Especially Bai Shengli; the smile on his face froze at once.

The smugness he had worn just moments before vanished without a trace.

It was as though he had fallen straight from the heavens to the ground.

Bai Shengli had the feeling that everyone was mocking him.

Disappointment, humiliation, embarrassment... all manner of emotions surged in his heart.

“Who exactly is Yang Feng?”

Bai Shengli clenched his fists, laying all the blame on Yang Feng alone.

Suddenly, a flash of light burst forth before the dungeon, and a figure appeared before the crowd.

Yang Feng stepped out of the dungeon. Seeing the area packed with people, he felt somewhat uneasy.

Then, all at once, he sensed a pair of furious eyes staring at him from within the crowd.

“You’re Yang Feng?”

Yang Feng looked at him with curiosity; he did not know this man.

Had he somehow offended him?

But none of that mattered now.

Having just come out of the dungeon, Yang Feng had to turn in his quest first.

And the quest he needed to hand in was naturally to Sword God Li Liushui.

Yang Feng directly activated his teleportation talisman and left the dungeon hall.

With so many people crowding around and watching him, of course he had to go.

He was not an animal in a zoo; he simply could not get used to being stared at.

When Bai Shengli saw that Yang Feng had ignored him entirely, not putting him in the least bit of regard, his face flushed red with fury.

Bai Shengli roared, “Let’s go!”

With that, he used a teleportation talisman and left.

The people who had come with him all followed suit, each using a teleportation talisman to depart.

They could not stay here any longer. Every glance from the crowd seemed filled with mockery.

For the next while, they probably would not be coming to the dungeon hall again.

Too humiliating.

Too unbearable.

“At last, the people from Daybreak Academy are gone. They’ve completely disgraced themselves this time!”

“By tomorrow, this will have spread all over the school. Daybreak Academy is going to be famous now, all right!”

“Who told them to be so arrogant? Serves them right!”

“Daybreak Academy’s face has been dragged underfoot and ground into the dirt by Yang Feng.”

“Have you noticed? Yang Feng cleared the Silent Forest dungeon at only level 22, which means he entered at level 21.”

“Nobody has ever solo-cleared a large-scale dungeon at level 21!”

“Could that curse master class really be this powerful?”

“Even if the class is strong, it still shouldn’t be this strong!”

“Yang Feng must have awakened a talent skill, and not just any ordinary one at that!”

“...”

Hearing the surrounding discussion, Zhang Yishu’s lips curved into a faint smile.

Yang Feng’s success in breaking the dungeon record made her as happy as if she had broken one herself.

“Yang Feng, I knew you could do it!”

Zhang Yishu left the dungeon hall in high spirits.

After returning, Yang Feng contacted Li Liushui at once.

“Yang Feng, what happened? Couldn’t you find a team?”

Li Liushui’s voice came from the phone.

Yang Feng said, “I obtained the Forest King’s demon core!”

“What?”

At those words, Li Liushui cried out in shock.

“Yang Feng, say that again!”

Yang Feng had no choice but to repeat himself.

“I obtained the Forest King’s demon core.”

Li Liushui paused for a moment, then said, “So fast? I only gave you the quest not long ago. Where are you now?”

“I’m in the student dormitories.”

“Yang Feng, wait for me at the entrance of the dormitory building!”

“Okay!”

After Yang Feng ended the call with Li Liushui, his phone vibrated again.

Congratulations on creating a new record for the Silent Forest dungeon. You have received 6,000 points and 50 contribution points.

Seeing the text message, Yang Feng smiled.

It had to be said that the rewards for a large dungeon were indeed excellent, though unfortunately they could only be obtained once.

At the entrance of the dormitory building, Yang Feng met Li Liushui.

Before he could even speak, Li Liushui seized his hand, and the two of them vanished from where they stood.

Li Liushui used a teleportation talisman to bring Yang Feng along with him.

The next instant, Yang Feng found himself in a courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, bamboo groves stretched in lush green abundance, and the breeze carried a pleasantly refreshing coolness.

It was already night. Moonlight spilled across the ground.

Inside the courtyard, several stalks of green bamboo stood with red lanterns hanging from them.

The setting revealed the unique taste and bearing of the courtyard’s owner.

Yang Feng was momentarily stunned. He rather liked a courtyard like this very much.

Seeing his expression, Li Liushui chuckled. “This is where I live. Not bad, is it?”

Yang Feng nodded. “Very nice.”

In this era of rampaging beasts, hardly anyone lived in the wilderness anymore.

Everyone lived in cities, relying on the city walls and the garrisoned army to guard against beast attacks.

There was no helping it. The wilds were simply too dangerous.

Only someone of Li Liushui’s caliber, a true super-expert, would live outside the city.

“Heh, let’s go inside.”

Li Liushui smiled and led Yang Feng in.

Once inside, Li Liushui took Yang Feng straight to the back courtyard.

There, a middle-aged man was seated.

He looked like a scholar, refined and graceful in every movement.

At the sight of him, Yang Feng could not help but feel deep respect.

He stepped forward and said reverently, “Greetings, Lord Blade God!”

Liu Qingshan, like Li Liushui, was known throughout the Great Xia Empire by all.

Liu Qingshan was a special class warrior-type combatant known as a blade wielder, and he also had a second profession: formation master.

He had once made enormous contributions to Great Xia, and like Li Liushui, his deeds had been recorded in the textbooks.

Yang Feng had seen Liu Qingshan’s photograph in books and read of his achievements, so he held him in great esteem.

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded. “Sit.”

Li Liushui smiled and said, “Don’t be so tense. Old Liu is easy to talk to. Take out the Forest King’s demon core.”

Yang Feng did not waste words and produced the demon core.

Liu Qingshan glanced at it and nodded. “It is indeed the Forest King’s demon core.”

Li Liushui looked at Yang Feng and asked with curiosity, “Did you really solo-clear the Silent Forest dungeon by yourself?”

Yang Feng nodded. “Yes.”

Li Liushui asked in astonishment, “How did you clear the dungeon alone?”

“This...”

Yang Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, “I don’t really know either. I just cleared it like that.”
