126: Chapter 125 I'm not that idiot Dragon King
Lin Mo walked over and sat down opposite the two of them, cutting straight to the chase.
"I'm going to the infinite dungeon to grind levels. Before that, I need to understand something."
"After the Fourth Class Advancement, how does one promote to the Fifth Class Advancement?"
Qin Lan put down her teacup, her playful expression vanishing.
Shen Yunshang also set aside her documents and sat up straight.
When it came to the supreme system of professionals, they both became solemn.
"The Fifth Class Advancement requires the cultivation of a Law Avatar."
Qin Lan held up a finger.
"To put it simply, the Law Avatar is the manifestation of the Law Space."
"When the integration between your physical body and the Law Space reaches 5%, it will trigger the system's judgment to complete the Fifth Class Advancement."
5% integration?
Lin Mo was slightly stunned.
He glanced down at his attribute panel, then sank his consciousness into his body.
A vast starry sky spanning a billion meters in diameter.
A colossal world tree that blotted out the sky.
The sun and moon shone together, and over three thousand law flowers competed in beauty.
The spaces others opened during their Third-Rank advancement were, at most, the size of a basement measuring a few dozen cubic meters.
For them to integrate 5%, it hardly required any effort at all.
But what about himself?
Integrate 5% of this billion-meter world?
Lin Mo felt that even if he sat there without eating or drinking for hundreds of years, he might not even be able to wear down a single leaf of this world tree.
"Is the difficulty very high?"
Shen Yunshang keenly noticed the change in Lin Mo's expression.
"It's not a matter of whether it's high or not."
Lin Mo leaned back against the sofa, his fingers tapping on the armrest.
"It's that it's extremely time-consuming."
"My Law Space has undergone a slight mutation. Using conventional methods, there's no way I can reach 5% in a short amount of time."
Qin Lan and Shen Yunshang exchanged a glance.
They naturally knew that Lin Mo's Law Space had 'mutated'.
Could a space that could swallow an army of five hundred thousand and a hundred Fifth-Order Dragon Generals in one go be considered normal?
"If conventional methods won't work, then use unconventional ones."
Qin Lan lowered her voice, a trace of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
"What method?" Lin Mo's movements paused.
"Kill Void Creatures."
Shen Yunshang took over, her tone becoming extremely stern. "In the depths of the Endless Void live Void Creatures."
"Killing them won't drop equipment, nor will it drop skill books."
"It only drops a special crystal called void matter."
"This crystal has a unique ability; it can accelerate the progress of our integration with the Law Space."
Lin Mo's eyes lit up.
He stood up. "Where can I find this thing? I'll go right now."
Qin Lan pressed down on Lin Mo's shoulder.
"Listen to her finish!"
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and sat back down.
Shen Yunshang took a deep breath, as if mentioning something extremely taboo.
"While the effect of void matter is heaven-defying, it has a fatal side effect."
"This is why, although many in the Alliance's history know of its existence, not a single person dares to touch it."
Shen Yunshang stared into Lin Mo's eyes, emphasizing every word.
"Absorbing void matter will forcibly deduct your experience points!"
"The faster the integration speed, the more terrifying the loss of experience points."
"Once the experience bar for your current level is drained, your level will regress!"
The hallway fell into silence.
Qin Lan stared closely at Lin Mo, trying to see any sign of apprehension or fear on his face.
To any high-level professional, their level was their life.
At their current levels, even after several years, they might not see any improvement.
Since Lin Mo's level was higher than theirs, he should theoretically cherish his level even more than they did.
As her voice faded.
The corners of Lin Mo's mouth slowly curled upward.
"That's it?"
Qin Lan and Shen Yunshang: "???"
Others treated de-leveling like poison, avoiding it at all costs.
But did he need to care about such things?
His current experience multiplier was as high as 36.4 billion times!!
If he went into the wild and accidentally stepped on an ant, the experience settled by the system would be enough to forcibly propel a newly awakened novice all the way to the Third-Rank!
Deduct experience?
He was just about to go grind experience; he would just grind enough for everything at once this time!
...
The sea breeze blew fiercely.
At Mad Shark Reef in the depths of the East Sea.
A massive whirlpool hung inverted over the sea's surface, and at its center was an ancient, giant bronze gate.
This was the "Gate of World-Breaking," a public dungeon with no level restrictions.
On the reefs at the entrance, over ten thousand freelance professionals had gathered.
They were forming parties and trading; the noise was deafening.
The void rippled.
Lin Mo stepped out, appearing before the giant bronze gate.
The originally noisy reef area instantly fell into a dead silence.
Everyone's gaze fell simultaneously on this young man dressed in simple casual clothes.
Yesterday, it was this young man who had stood alone over the East Sea and shattered a three-hundred-meter-high black water tsunami with a single palm strike.
A Fourth Class Advancement Shield Guard with a face full of scars at the very front suddenly straightened his back.
He clenched his right fist and hammered it heavily against the left side of his chest.
This was a standard and solemn professional military salute.
Immediately following.
Whoosh—
Over ten thousand people spontaneously backed away to both sides, clearing a wide path ten meters across.
Silent respect surged through the salty sea breeze.
Lin Mo glanced at them and nodded slightly.
He walked straight through the crowd and stepped into the giant bronze gate.
With a flash of light, his figure vanished from the spot.
Outside the Gate of World-Breaking.
Among the ten thousand professionals, a black-robed young girl wearing a half-face mask was mixed in.
The girl looked at the giant bronze gate, a playful smirk on her lips.
She was precisely the Demon King's otherworldly projection.
Without any fluctuations of power, she perfectly blended into the surrounding crowd, and no one noticed her.
"He's finally gone in. Let's see what you can do this time."
"I am not that idiot, the Dragon King."
The Demon King crossed her arms, a light of excitement flickering in the depths of her eyes.
