Chapter 638 - 467: City of Eternal Fire
Chapter 638 - 467: City of Eternal Fire
Li Pu did not resist, because he could see that the other party did not show any aggression.
"Please!"
Sure enough, as soon as Qian Shanshan spoke, it was a plea.
"Please, stop participating in the combat department’s monthly exams!"
Standing so close, Li Pu finally noticed the remnants of fatigue and exhaustion on the other person’s face.
It turned out that an exchange student, not even majoring in this field, taking the first place with overwhelming scores in the monthly exam, deeply hurt the pride of many combat department teachers and class teachers.
Ever since that incident, the first-year students of Imperial University’s combat department have been in torment.
Special training day and night, leaving everyone exhausted and fatigued.
And Li Pu was the main culprit.
"Oh... is that how it is."
After hearing what the other person said, Li Pu finally realized.
No wonder Qian Shanshan and those combat department classmates had such heavy grievances when they saw him.
"Brother, don’t come to the life department for the next monthly exam!"
Seeing Li Pu seemed to be moved with sympathy, Ti Jiu’s expression changed immediately.
"The cultivation department also doesn’t welcome you."
Even Long Ren restrained his smile.
"This..."
Li Pu didn’t expect that despite his good looks, there would be times he wasn’t welcomed.
"What’s the situation today?"
But he quickly changed the subject.
Looking at today’s setup, it seemed different from a regular dungeon run.
"Oh, this is what I mentioned to you before, the other few first-year top ten."
Talking about this, Qian Shanshan finally regained a bit of energy.
Then began to introduce them to him.
The five classmates Li Pu didn’t know were:
Li Yilou, male, life department.
A rather tall and thin guy, though intentionally restrained, one could still sense an unusual aura.
Their summoned beasts were not released, so it’s temporarily unknown what their combat style is.
Liu Sha Fa, female, combat department.
Looks very pretty, comparable to Qian Shanshan, with a petite figure.
Wang Fengmang, male, combat department.
Handsome appearance, dignified demeanor.
However, he seems quite calm, not the talkative type.
But when the combat department collectively expressed their grievances earlier, Li Pu felt his resentment was the strongest.
Wu Nianxiang, female, cultivation department.
Expression is very peaceful, looks like a girl without desires.
Zhang Liuliu, female, combat department.
From her outfit, she seems like the type who enjoys joining battles personally as a summoner.
Along with Long Ren and the others, these 10 people make up the full list of Imperial University’s first-year top ten.
Among them, Li Yilou, Liu Sha Fa, and Qian Shanshan have long occupied the top three positions, while Ti Jiu consistently ranks in the last two positions.
Aside from Long Ren, who is mostly evaluated as fourth, the others have fluctuating rankings.
"So, are we challenging a difficult dungeon today?"
After greeting everyone and introducing themselves, Li Pu asked Qian Shanshan.
"That’s right. This time, we’re heading to the second-year’s toughest dungeon."
"City of Eternal Fire."
Qian Shanshan’s eyes already showed anticipation.
"Second-year’s toughest?"
Li Pu didn’t expect the other party’s choice to span so much.
Previously, everyone was still tackling ordinary first-year dungeons, and suddenly they’ve jumped to a second-year one, and it’s the hardest?
The key is, if he remembers correctly, every student who clears the most difficult dungeon of the year for the first time gets a 1-point reward.
Currently, his school points are 121. If he successfully clears that City of Eternal Fire and takes first place in the monthly exam again, it would be exactly 132 points, enough to exchange for a level 5 summon token.
Thus, Li Pu was very interested in this dungeon trip.
Equally interested, perhaps even more so, were Wu Guinan, Long Ren, and Qian Shanshan.
Three like-minded individuals gathered, ready to fully enjoy the experience.
No more words, the group quickly entered the hall.
Including Wu Guinan, these 12 people had all gained admission.
They gradually stepped into the dungeon’s light gate, and soon Li Pu saw a whole new world.
Heat, the first sensation upon entering was heat.
Looking around, they were currently standing in a medieval city resembling ruins.
Its most distinctive feature was that flames burned everywhere around.
This was the source of the heat sensation.
Endless waves of heat seemed to constantly assault them.
It could be said that everyone was currently in a sea of fire, with only the city’s main road underfoot spared.
"City of Eternal Fire, as the name suggests."
At this moment, Qian Shanshan took the initiative to introduce.
"It’s a city that eternally burns."
"Senior students say this is a cursed place."
"These building ruins never burn down, and the flames never extinguish."
"Luckily, your scarecrow didn’t come today, otherwise it might have felt quite uncomfortable."
After hearing her introduction, Li Pu was indifferent.
This level of fire shouldn’t intimidate the scarecrow.
In fact, besides the scarecrow, no normal creature would be too comfortable in such high-temperature and dangerous surroundings.
He could already see others beginning to sweat and show discomfort.
This City of Eternal Fire was deemed the second-year’s toughest dungeon; it’s naturally not straightforward.
Even without the appearance of monsters, the environment itself was already challenging.
But Li Pu himself showed no signs of discomfort.
