Chapter 131: Chapter 118: Hidden Class Change Path!

"But even if they found out, they usually wouldn’t specifically target him.

"After all, Gods have their own rules."

"So that’s how it is." A look of realization dawned on Yu Zhun’s face. "However, I don’t think the God of District 9023 cares much about that guy.

"After all, he didn’t even bring twenty medals."

"In that case, there’s no need to worry." Hearing this, Zhu Zhe’s brow slowly relaxed. "Perhaps that’s exactly what the other party expects.

"Some Gods have selfish and dark personalities. They want all the Divine Demon Medals in their world handed over to them, so they actually suppress the geniuses in their own world to prevent a second God from emerging."

"I can’t believe there are Gods like that." Yu Zhun shook his head in incomprehension. "If this God dies in an accident and there are no other Gods in their world, wouldn’t they be doomed?"

"The so-called Gods have selfish motives just like humans," Zhu Zhe said, shaking his head slightly. "Just as there are good and bad people, the same applies to Gods."

Yu Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

"Enough about that." Zhu Zhe smiled at Yu Zhun. "Did you encounter any formidable characters in the Nether Abyss?"

"Quite a few." Yu Zhun couldn’t help but think of the guy named Lu Wen. "There was one player who was leading everyone the whole way, and then I chased him away on the thirty-second floor."

"Huh?" Zhu Zhe paused for a moment.

This sounded a bit familiar. Back in the day, hadn’t he also been leading the whole way, only to be chased away on the thirty-second floor by another guy...

Shaking his head with a smile, Zhu Zhe asked casually, "What server was it?"

"Server 39393."

This number was easy to remember, so Yu Zhun blurted it out without hesitation.

The smile on Zhu Zhe’s face froze for a fraction of a second before quickly widening. "Are you sure it was 39393?"

"I’m sure," Yu Zhun nodded.

"Ha... haha... Hahaha!" Zhu Zhe suddenly let out a hearty laugh. He patted Yu Zhun on the shoulder, turned around, and headed back to the Divine Revelation Hall.

Watching Zhu Zhe’s back trembling with laughter as he walked away, completely lacking his usual composure, Yu Zhun couldn’t help but scratch his head.

What was wrong with his senior? Did he have a grudge against Server 39393?

Blue Star, inside Yu Zhun’s home.

Yu Zhun’s bedroom door was quietly pushed open. Yu Zhu poked her head inside, looking at Yu Zhun who was lying on the bed as if in a deep sleep.

The young girl had small dark circles under her fair eyes, clearly indicating she hadn’t slept well all night.

"This stinky Yu Zhun." Yu Zhu’s face was full of worry. "He’s been in the Divine Revelation World all night and still hasn’t come back.

"I’m about to leave for class, and he’s still not back."

She pushed the door open a little wider, then tiptoed into Yu Zhun’s room and started rummaging through his desk.

If Yu Zhun had gone to clear a Dungeon, according to his usual habits, there would definitely be corresponding materials on his desk.

"Let’s see where you ran off to," Yu Zhu muttered softly, but she didn’t find any suspicious documents on the desk.

She casually pulled open Yu Zhun’s drawer and suddenly let out a gasp of surprise. Her gaze landed on a letter and a bank card tucked into the corner.

A sense of foreboding washed over her. Yu Zhu quickly picked up the letter and tore it open. After reading the contents, her legs gave way, and she slumped onto the floor.

"Yu Zhun..." She shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her delicate face as she whimpered softly. "No... he’ll be fine..."

"What will be fine?"

Yu Zhun had just returned from the Divine Revelation World. Hearing Yu Zhu’s whimpers, he instinctively spoke up.

When he sat up in bed and saw the letter in Yu Zhu’s hands, his expression instantly became a bit unnatural.

He was still alive, yet his suicide note had been read.

"Yu Zhun..." Yu Zhu’s head snapped up. She stared at Yu Zhun in astonishment, then rubbed her eyes. "I’m not dreaming, right?"

"Of course not."

Yu Zhun exasperatedly ruffled Yu Zhu’s hair.

Yu Zhu wordlessly pulled her head away from his palm.

She stepped back, and then back again. She retreated all the way to the other side of the room, then suddenly charged at Yu Zhun, delivering a heavy headbutt right to his stomach.

"Ah..." Yu Zhun didn’t actually feel much, but he still played along with a cry of pain. Then, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he stopped the young girl who was preparing to retreat again and handed her a tissue. "Your nose is running."

"I’ll wipe it on you!"

Yu Zhu said in a muffled voice, but obediently took the tissue and blew her nose.

"Yu Zhun, don’t go to 4A Dungeons anymore, okay?"

Yu Zhun fell silent for a moment before shaking his head slightly. "I’m afraid I can’t do that."

"Then... you’re not allowed to hide things from me in the future, got it?"

"This..." Meeting Yu Zhu’s red, teary eyes, Yu Zhun sighed inwardly. "Alright."

Yu Zhu nodded, then silently walked over to the drawer and reached out her hand.

SMACK!

Yu Zhun swatted away Yu Zhu’s hand as it reached for the bank card, dark lines forming on his forehead. "What are you doing!"

"It’s five hundred million!" Yu Zhu looked innocent. "Didn’t you say you left this for me?"

"What does a kid need so much money for!" Yu Zhun rolled his eyes. "I’ll hold onto it for you first!"

"Stingy," Yu Zhu muttered. "By the way, so you had already prepared the Lv5 and Lv10 Red Equipment for me, right?

"And last time you actually used them as a..."

SMACK!

Yu Zhun gave Yu Zhu a light smack on the rear, then grabbed her shoulders and pushed her out of the room inch by inch. "Out, out. Look at the time! Hurry up and wash up, then change your clothes!

"I still have to go make you breakfast!"

Yu Zhu glared.

"Super stingy!"

Two days later, at the Godslayer Guild.

Yu Zhun looked at the five fully armed guild members in front of him and took a deep breath.

"Is everyone ready?"

Sheila, Ji Xiaoyu, Salas, and the Su family siblings nodded in unison.

"Good." Yu Zhun nodded. After inviting everyone into the party, he chose to initiate the First-Turn Trial.

Upon entering the First-Turn Trial, players would be randomly sent into a Lv30 Permanent Dungeon within the Divine Revelation World, with the difficulty locked at 3A.

However, it was independent of the actual Permanent Dungeon. Even if the Permanent Dungeon in question was currently being cleared by others, it wouldn’t affect the progression of the First-Turn Trial. It was as if it were a projection of the Permanent Dungeon.

Because it was a projection, the Dungeon for the First-Turn Trial was not entirely identical to the original Dungeon. Sometimes, it couldn’t be cleared using the same methods, and in some cases, the required approach was the exact opposite of the original. The only thing they shared was the story background.

Each player only had one chance to initiate the First-Turn Trial. If they failed to pass, they would be permanently stuck at Lv30. And there was only one requirement to pass the First-Turn Trial: a perfect clear. Therefore, the difficulty of the First-Turn Trial relied entirely on luck.

After all, some Permanent Dungeons had yet to be perfectly cleared to this day. Achieving a perfect clear in their First-Turn Trial counterparts would only be even more difficult.

If a player drew a Dungeon that was unfamiliar or extremely difficult, they would face failure in the best-case scenario. In the worst-case scenario, they would die in the 3A Dungeon and lose their Divine Revelation qualifications. For this reason, many players would spend a long time preparing.

They would memorize the public information of all Lv30 Permanent Dungeons until they knew it inside out, and some would even insist on clearing every Dungeon once before daring to enter the First-Turn Trial. There were even those who chose to give up entirely and remain at Lv30.

Accompanied by a dizzying sensation, Yu Zhun and the other five simultaneously entered a chaotic space. A line of text materialized before their eyes.

[First-Turn Trial Random Result: End of the Red Land]

"It’s a Dungeon from Divine Radiance City." Ji Xiaoyu, who had done her homework, wore a solemn expression as she quickly found the corresponding files and distributed them to everyone.

"These are Communication Buttons," Salas said, taking out six button-like items and handing them out. "If we get separated when we enter the Dungeon, use these to stay in touch."

"Let’s begin selecting our Professions," Yu Zhun said in a deep voice.

The Professions they chose would also impact the contents of the Trial. Once everyone finished their selections, the First-Turn Trial would officially begin.

Before Yu Zhun’s eyes, lines of text quickly generated.

[Please select from the following First-Turn Professions:]

[Dark Night Apostle: Attacks are converted to Magic type. Boasts the highest damage output among melee units. A fearsome melee Magic Assassin!]

[Phantom Hunter: Unlocks the ability to learn various Displacement Skills. Possesses the most agile movement, showcasing the art of assassination through astonishing skill!]

[Extremely Evil Madman: A melee fanatic combining agility, skill, and slaughter. Even with nowhere to hide, they dare to clash head-on with the enemy!]

[Stealth Blade: The pinnacle of the Assassin’s Lurking path. The ultimate sneaker. The moment their blade is unsheathed is the moment their target’s death arrives!]

Yu Zhun took out the Hidden Pathway Reassignment Card and used it. Below the four Professions, a new option appeared.

[Doomsday’s Thorn: The ringer of the Funeral Bell, synonymous with death. Even amidst millions, their assassination will announce the End!]
