After studying a Dungeon guide with the group, he planned a three-day expedition into the Middle and Lower Floors, but limited their target to floor 36 because the guide lacked maps beyond it.

• Li Yu stabilized the Magic Array and marked the camp residents so they could detect intruders and benefit from meditation; at Xia Yu’s suggestion, he made the marks resemble the Guild emblem and appear when infused with magic power.
• Yukino Yukinoshita told Li Yu and the others that the Dungeon guide recommended floors 25 to 36 for lv3 adventurers, and Li Yu said he would learn the local writing to explain the guide.

• Li Yu trapped the invaders inside a Spatial barrier, and the students killed them before burying their bodies with his help.

Li Yu led his group through the Dungeon’s upper and middle floors, gathering maps and planning to collect weapon materials on the sixteenth floor.
