"Hehe, it doesn't hurt. This level of attack can't hurt me; it will only reduce the Health Points on my temporary panel." Gai Li shook his head.

"Oh?"

Su Luo raised an eyebrow. "So, under these Dungeon rules, only 'data damage' caused by Spell attacks can eliminate us, and physical contact and body perception aren't even considered, right? It's completely gamified, isn't it?"

He seemed to be deep in thought. He and Layton had been clearing monsters together, and their Health Points had barely dropped, so he hadn't paid much attention to that.

It makes sense. Everyone's outward expression is completely nerfed in this Trait Dungeon, but their own Attributes and abilities are actually not limited. It's just that all spontaneous intervention is isolated by the "membrane," and the only intervention ability is the wand, but the Spells cast by the wand are very weak.

The [Meteorite] Spell cast by the wand summoned Meteorite less than a meter long and wide, with extremely low density and speed below the speed of sound. When it hit a professional with 20 points of Constitution, it wouldn't even scratch their feet, let alone cause them to lose health.

It can't hurt anyone; it can only deduct Health Points from the temporary health panel.

Layton thought for a moment, then took a Spell from his Spell pouch and held it up to Gai Li's face for him to see.

Gai Li looked at his anus:

[Giant Nuclear Bomb (1)]

[Quickly find cover!]

[Dharma Power Cost: 450]

[Casting Delay: +2.1 seconds]

[Recharge Time: +3.4 seconds]

That one glance made Gai Li stand at attention.

Gai Li flipped himself up. "After reality abilities are converted into Spell, they will be greatly weakened. Your [Giant Nuclear Bomb] can definitely wipe out my Health Points, but it may not be able to damage my body. Besides, this special instance has Near-Death Teleportation Trait Dungeon."

"Oh? So you want to try it out? Like, blow it up right in my face. I'd love to see its power." Layton laughed.

Gai Li was silent for a moment, then simply threw out all the Spells from his Spell bag.

After casting the Spell, he took a few steps forward and picked up the blank wand that Su Luo had discarded.

"Fine! You win! You bullied a helpless, weak, barely-weight baby in his thirties from northwestern Europe who was still breastfeeding. Don't you have any conscience?"

Su Luo and Layton ignored his nonsense and continued modifying their wands.

"By the way, could you give me a few unwanted attack Spells? I've been stuck on experience points in real life for too long, I need to grind in Dungeons!"

"What a coincidence, I also came in to kill, kill, kill," Layton added, waving his wand.

Gai Li looked at Layton: "Oh? You're stuck on experience points too?"

"It's not so much about being stuck on experience points, it's more like being stuck on level caps, right?"

"Nonsense! What's the difference? Everyone should be level 8, right?"

After Gai Li finished speaking, he tentatively threw out two more Appraisal.

The Appraisal was weakened instantly after passing through the "membrane," and when it landed on Su Luo and Layton, it only returned a message from the temporary panel.

[Health Points: 900/900]

[Health Points: 690/690]

"A perfect Dungeon," Gai Li said.

Su Luo glanced at him and tossed him two Spells she had picked up earlier.

[Ice Rain]

[Expanding Energy Ball]

"Thanks, Scholar."

Gai Li deftly picked it up, stuffed it into his only blank wand, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, I only have a trash attack wand right now, no shield, no healing, and my health bar is only a little over nine hundred. Once I'm out of health, I'll just leave. I won't get in your way."

"Have fun." Su Luo waved.

Gai Li took a few steps, then turned back, grinning with a smile that wasn't exactly attractive:

"You're a pretty nice guy, huh? Good luck getting the special ability this time... Of course, if you don't get it, you might have to compete with me for a long time. Starting today, I'll come every day to compete for the special ability until I succeed. If you become my prisoner of war in another Trait Dungeon that suits me, I'll treat you well... As for that fat guy, you'll be going to a concentration camp."

Ten minutes later.

"What the hell! Scholar, what are you doing?"

Layton saw Su Luo point her wand at the cave that Gai Li had just entered and begin casting a spell.

Flame Spears, Meteorites, Splitting Fireballs poured in continuously, occasionally accompanied by pitch-black flames.

"We've cleared out most of the monsters here. Let's go find some shops elsewhere. Before we leave, let's eliminate any unstable factors so they don't delay our progress." Su Luo remained calm, her hands moving without stopping.

A few dozen seconds later, the Berserk roar of Spells abruptly ceased. Only the sizzling sound of melting rocks and the pervasive smell of burning remained deep within the cave. On the System Panel, the number of Dungeon quietly decreased by one.

Gai Li only enjoyed the fight for ten minutes before being completely overwhelmed.

"Walk."

Su Luo was still so merciful, letting Gai Li play for a full ten minutes longer.

"You might as well just eliminate him on the spot... There are still sixteen people left in the Dungeon." Layton checked the remaining number of Dungeon.

"Let's go down, but be careful. The monsters are getting stronger, and I wonder if there are any bosses or anything like that."

Su Luo finished setting up the Spells on her attack staff and headed deeper into the area.

As the two ventured deeper, the surrounding rock walls gradually turned an ominous gray-black. The monsters they encountered generally had more than 500 Health Points, and some Elite monsters could even deal terrifying damage exceeding 150 points per second with their attacks.

If one is not careful, Layton's defensive Spells may not be able to replenish the shield in time.

But he possessed teleportation Spell, allowing him to move at a speed far exceeding that of the other participants.

Your Health Points has been increased to 1050.

Finding another shop, Su Luo unceremoniously ate the red heart.

Layton doesn't want to eat (×)

Layton's meal was useless; he wasn't here for the special qualification, and he wasn't worried because his Attributes weren't at their maximum. He was just too bored and wanted to go into the Dungeon to practice his skills and exchange information.

As a result, this Trait Dungeon prevents the use of skills, and the System Space cannot be accessed.

"When are you leaving?" Su Luo suddenly turned her head and asked.

Layton's lips twitched. "No way, you're trying to kick me out so soon? I'm not going to compete with you for first place. I'll just stay here and play for a while. This Dungeon isn't too dangerous anyway."

Su Luo shook her head, feigning concern. "No, actually, the Trait Dungeons are extremely dangerous. Almost everyone here is Forbidden Class user, and the probability of carrying Forbidden Existence is not low."

"Come on, you just want my [Teleport Bullet]. If I encounter Forbidden Existence, I might not be able to defeat it, but I can definitely escape. I'm going to see some other powerful beings. I'll give you the Spell before I leave."

Layton achieved a time of 0.1 seconds in the challenge of guessing Su Luo's true intentions.

Su Luo remained expressionless and efficiently purchased four wands from the shop, replacing them all. Now, with his personal modifications, the wands no longer had any pre-cast or post-cast animations, and most Spells were instantaneous.

"Then you won't be able to stay long; there's something ahead."

"Where?"

Su Luo raised her staff, unleashing a series of sudden bursts of Flame Spears. The intense flames tore through the darkness, illuminating the scene diagonally ahead—

It was a cave that should have been the exit, but now it was a mess, as if it had been ravaged. The rock walls were covered with cracks, and in the very center, two bottomless, dark pits were clearly visible, silently swallowing the surrounding soil and rubble that kept sliding down.

Su Luo: "There seems to be someone over there."

Layton: "I don't think so, it's ugly as hell."
