Crossover DanMachi: I Joined the Chat Group with the Kevin Template

In this short span of time, Ling Xuan's attributes had undergone an enormous increase!

He believed that he would soon reach the required state and advance to Level 2!

However, advancing to Level 2 required more than maxing out one's attributes; one also had to accomplish a Great Deed!

In the original story, Bell's Great Deed had been defeating an enhanced Minotaur alone.

But Ling Xuan's Great Deed was clearly not that...

Shaking his head, Ling Xuan did not dwell on it and simply continued onward.

For the time being, he waited on the Fifth Floor for the abnormality to occur.

Not long after!

"Roar!!!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the area, immediately drawing Ling Xuan's attention!

Hearing that roar, Ling Xuan seemed to understand something and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So it's finally here? The Minotaur."

As soon as those words fell.

Scattered adventurers came running from the direction of the sound.

As though something terrifying was chasing them from behind, they fled in panic.

"R-Run!"

"It's a Minotaur!!!"

"Damn it, why would we encounter a monster like that on the Fifth Floor?"

"How can Level 1 adventurers possibly defeat a Level 2 Minotaur?!"

"Stop talking and run for your lives!"

The voices of the fleeing people confirmed Ling Xuan's guess.

The adventurers running for their lives were undoubtedly all Level 1 adventurers!

Ling Xuan shook his head.

Indeed, there were differences even among adventurers.

What kind of Level 1 am I, and what kind of Level 1 are you?

Wanting to test Kevin's abilities, Ling Xuan hurried toward the Minotaur without stopping!

Seeing Ling Xuan run toward the Minotaur instead of fleeing.

The adventurers present could not help but freeze.

???

Wait, how did this guy dare do that?

They had already said there was a Level 2 Minotaur over there. Why was he still running toward it like he had a death wish?

"Is that guy trying to get himself killed? He's actually running in that direction."

"You can't reason with someone determined to die. Let's go!"

"Seriously, no matter how you look at him, he's only Level 1. Does he really dare challenge that Minotaur across levels? Does he think he's some overpowered protagonist?"

Amid those words, a blond girl frowned.

She looked curiously at Ling Xuan, who was charging toward the Minotaur.

That girl was undoubtedly Ais Wallenstein, hailed as the strongest female swordswoman!

As a Level 6 adventurer, Ais had originally intended to rush over and deal with that Level 2 Minotaur immediately.

But then she witnessed this scene...

That guy... he was an adventurer she had never seen before!

If nothing unexpected happened, he should be Level 1!

As a newcomer, he actually dared to challenge a Level 2 monster across levels?!

Curious and worried, Ais followed after him!

Meanwhile, the Minotaur's roars grew clearer and clearer!

Ling Xuan charged ahead without hesitation!

Soon, he spotted the Minotaur in the distance!

At that moment, the Minotaur's eyes were blood-red. It had clearly fallen into a berserk state!

Seeing this, Ling Xuan could not help recalling that once he defeated this guy, he would obtain Heavenly Fire Judgement—though only in its dual-pistol form...

But Ling Xuan also recalled something. The other form of Heavenly Fire Judgement was the Heavenly Fire Greatsword!

However, rather than that, Ling Xuan preferred to call it by its nickname—the Pure Love Greatsword!

As the universally acknowledged Pure Love Greatsword of the Honkai world, nearly every time it was drawn, it was for love. At the cost of one's own life, it unleashed an incredible attack.

Siegfried and Kevin aside, they were practically representatives of pure love.

And beyond them, even the famed Bishop Otto made frequent use of Heavenly Fire Judgement. Even at the end of his life, he still clutched Skyfire tightly.

What did it mean to be the universally acknowledged Pure Love Greatsword?

Although Otto truly was an unrepentant bastard and had wronged Siegfried's entire family, one should not underestimate Otto's devotion to love and to Kallen!

And now, if he wanted to obtain this weapon of pure love, he had to defeat that Minotaur.

Perfect. This was what true love was all about!!

"Today, I'll be a Pure Love Warrior and slaughter a Minotaur!"

As soon as those words fell, Ling Xuan's eyes filled with incomparable excitement!

This was the purest episode of all.

To become a Pure Love Warrior, defeat that Minotaur!

"Roar!!!"

At that moment.

The Minotaur noticed Ling Xuan.

It immediately let out an incomparably furious roar, followed by a bang.

The Minotaur charged straight at Ling Xuan!

"Just what I wanted!"

As soon as those words fell.

Ling Xuan shifted to the side and immediately dodged the attack.

Boom!!!

The Minotaur crashed fiercely into the rock wall behind him.

With a thunderous boom, a massive crater appeared.

The Minotaur got up and shook its head, clearly feeling the pain.

Even so, its eyes remained fixed on Ling Xuan as it prepared for its next attack.

In an instant!

The Minotaur charged at Ling Xuan again at tremendous speed!

Ling Xuan was equally unwilling to yield and immediately drew the longsword in his hand!

Then he swung it down.

Clang!

The longsword struck the Minotaur fiercely, producing a crisp sound.

At that moment, Ling Xuan noticed a shallow bloody mark appear on the Minotaur's body.

Although the attack had been effective, he also noticed something else.

A crack had appeared in the longsword in his hand...

"This thing really isn't very durable..."

Looking at the longsword that had begun to crack, Ling Xuan could not help voicing his thoughts.

But that was normal. After all, this was a Level 2 monster.

If he wanted to challenge it across levels, relying on this ordinary longsword alone was naturally impossible.

However, after this, he would have a weapon that suited him.

Heavenly Fire Judgement!

Then he would no longer find himself in such an awkward situation.

But before that, he still had to kill this Minotaur first!

"I hope this longsword can hold out until the end."

Ling Xuan muttered.

This time, he did not want to kill the Minotaur solely for Heavenly Fire Judgement. There was another important reason: he wanted to test his current strength!

So he intended to play with this Minotaur for a little longer.

Thus, he charged forward with his longsword.

Clang!

He battled the Minotaur in a fierce clash!

While Ling Xuan fought intensely, Ais and the members of the Loki Familia arrived at the scene.

Seeing the battle, Ais instinctively wanted to step forward and help.

After all, in her eyes, Ling Xuan was merely a Level 1 newcomer. How could he possibly defeat a Level 2 Minotaur?!

However, before she could act, Finn stopped her.

"Don't forget the rules. We can't steal another person's monster.

Since that guy has chosen to fight the Minotaur, we have no reason to interfere."

Even as Finn said that, he was filled with curiosity.

Was this guy really a Level 1 adventurer? He could actually fight a Level 2 Minotaur to this extent!

At that moment, the surrounding members voiced the thoughts of their captain.

Riveria said, "This guy looks familiar... I remember now. He seems to be the bartender who rose to fame a month ago. I never expected him to become an adventurer too."

"Just a few days ago, he was only a bartender... Now he's already a Level 1 adventurer, and he's actually evenly matched with that Minotaur. This is simply unbelievable."

"Godlike bartending skills combined with his current strength... it seems this young man is hiding quite a few secrets!"

Amid everyone's discussion, Ais finally learned Ling Xuan's name.

A trace of curiosity also rose in her heart!

While everyone was talking, Ling Xuan became more and more immersed in the battle!

With every exchange, Ling Xuan grew more familiar with his own strength.

He constantly absorbed the lessons from before, becoming stronger step by step!

The scales of victory gradually shifted from an even match toward Ling Xuan.
