You Said Three Hours to Survive, But You Cleared It in Two Minutes?

Lin Yi descended from the sky.

He didn't bother with the group of Tianshui Academy Class Users, who had already been frightened senseless or knocked unconscious by the intense heat and violent shockwaves.

Instead, he flew to the southern corner of what was once Feiliekain.

He picked up a middle-aged man who had been surrounded by a swarm of Shadow Demons, exhausted and severely injured.

Lin Yi had no fondness for those arrogant, nose-in-the-air types from Tianshui Academy, nor was he some Saintly Mother overflowing with mercy, ready to lend them a hand.

He had already held back; whether they could make it out of this dungeon on their own was none of his concern.

As for this middle-aged man, Lin Yi had saved him because, through the [All-Knowing Eye], he had seen his name.

Jiang Chen.

The surname Jiang, combined with what Jiang Ya had said earlier, made it easy for Lin Yi to guess that this was the "Second Uncle" who had sacrificed himself to buy Jiang Ya and the others a chance to escape.

Given Jiang Ya's classmate kindness in sending him various items, and Jiang Xian's promise to pull some strings for his training, it was a simple favor.

Since it was convenient, Lin Yi chose to save him.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the Trial Dungeon: City of Fading Light, Feiliekain!]

[You have obtained a new title: Abyss Challenger!]

[You have completed the hidden ending of this Trial Dungeon and slain the high-difficulty boss, the Shadow Demon Spider. Your title has been upgraded!]

[You have obtained a new title: Abyss Conqueror!]

[Special Trial Dungeon: The darkness of the City of Fading Light, Feiliekain, has been completely dispelled, and the city itself has been utterly annihilated. The dungeon's internal structure has been entirely destroyed.]

[From this day forward, this special Trial Dungeon is permanently removed from Blue Star and the Abyss World!]

Lin Yi was stunned.

Holy shit, permanently removed.

That meant this dungeon was completely gone.

It would never appear again.

Damn, this move just deleted the dungeon outright.

Maybe because the dungeon no longer existed, Lin Yi was directly teleported out.

Lin Yi's vision blurred.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the lush meadow outside Jiangcheng.

The sun was bright, the breeze gentle, and the scenery was beautiful—far more pleasant than the hellish map inside the dungeon.

The dungeon's light screen flickered with an anomaly.

The next moment, Lin Yi appeared, carrying Jiang Ya's Second Uncle in his arms.

Everyone waiting outside the dungeon was stunned.

Because less than three minutes had passed since Lin Yi entered this Trial Dungeon!

To be precise, it was just over two minutes!

How did he come out so fast?

Wait, who was that in his arms?

He looked kind of familiar!

Maybe because Jiang Chen was too badly injured, his clothes torn and his face a bloody mess, Jiang Xian didn't even recognize his own second son at first.

But Jiang Ya let out a cry: "Second Uncle!"

Only then did Jiang Xian realize that Lin Yi had actually rescued the man!

Instantly, several people crowded around.

Zuo Qian was more concerned about whether Lin Yi was hurt.

"Lin Yi, you scared me to death!"

"How could you be so reckless, going into the dungeon alone!"

"Are you injured?"

Lin Yi: "I'm fine, but I can't say the same for him."

He pointed at Jiang Chen, who was now lying flat on the ground.

Jiang Xian quickly stepped forward to check his breathing.

Then his face lit up with joy.

"He's still breathing! He's alive!"

"Priests, Healers, come quick!"

As the nominal top figure in Jiangcheng, Jiang Xian's orders carried more weight than anyone else's.

Immediately, several official emergency responders in white coats rushed over to quickly assess Jiang Chen's injuries.

"Thank you!" Jiang Ya, upon learning that her Second Uncle was only seriously injured but not dead, wept like a pear blossom drenched in rain.

Wiping her tears, she thanked Lin Yi.

"Hearing those words from your mouth is no small feat—I haven't heard them in three years."

Seeing her like this, Lin Yi couldn't help but tease.

For three years, Jiang Ya had been the aloof school beauty, never smiling at Lin Yi, let alone saying thank you.

Jiang Ya stomped her foot.

Seeming a little annoyed that Lin Yi would flirt with her in front of her family at a time like this.

After settling his Second Son, Jiang Xian also walked over to express his gratitude to Lin Yi.

"I originally thought entering the dungeon was a reckless move, but I never imagined you went in to save someone. I truly don't know how the Jiang Family can repay you for such a life-saving grace..."

Lin Yi was taken aback.

No, old man.

You might have misunderstood.

I just went in to clear the dungeon; saving someone was just a grab along the way...

"He got lucky, didn't he? The City of Fading Light dungeon map is huge, and he just happened to spawn right next to the injured guy?"

"From when he went in to when he came out, it was only three minutes. He must have used a Forced Dungeon Escape Scroll to teleport out. Smart move..."

A group of onlookers from Tianshui Academy.

Seeing that Lin Yi had actually rescued an injured person.

Were also a bit shocked.

But they still kept their sharp tongues.

As for the possibility that Lin Yi had actually cleared the dungeon before coming out, that thought never even crossed their minds.

Because it was impossible!

The dungeon completion requirement was to survive for three hours!

Coming out early.

Meant failure.

Wasn't that obvious!

"It's good that you're fine. You'll still have a chance to get the Abyss qualification later..."

Zuo Qian also comforted Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was speechless.

Seriously, your imaginations are way too strong.

But Lin Yi didn't need to explain anything.

Because the next moment, an announcement that echoed throughout the entire dungeon area left everyone present dumbfounded!

[Dungeon Completion Announcement!]

[Congratulations to Class User: Lin Yi for completing the special Trial Dungeon: City of Fading Light, Feiliekain!]

[Completion Time: 0 hours, 2 minutes, 42 seconds!]

[Completion Rating: S!]

[This completion record has broken the best record for this dungeon, and it will be forever engraved on Blue Star's Global Dungeon Completion Record Board, accessible for viewing at any time!]

Everyone was stunned.

At the entire dungeon entrance.

The bustling crowd fell utterly silent.

They all stared at Lin Yi as if he were a monster!

Jiang Xian, the Fourth Turn Great Mage, had his white beard trembling slightly.

Huh?

He cleared it??

Lin Yi didn't go in to save someone—he really went in to clear the dungeon?

Zuo Qian, the principal of No.2 High School, had his brain completely short-circuit.

He could tell this young man had some skill.

But he never expected this much skill!

He actually cleared it?!

Not only did he clear it, but he also broke Blue Star's global record board for this special Trial Dungeon?!

The record announcement couldn't be faked!

It could be said that the Blue Star Heavenly Dao's will was testifying for Lin Yi!

The Glasses Guy from Tianshui Academy, who had been calmly watching everything with an air of detachment all along—

This time, he was thoroughly unsettled.

He took a deep breath.

This youth before him, who seemed utterly unremarkable and good for nothing except being handsome—

How had he suddenly become so terrifying?

As one of Tianshui Academy's ten Faculty Mentors who had reached the Sixth Turn, he naturally had an in-depth understanding of the City of Fading Light, Feiliekain.

This dungeon was very special.

Because the completion conditions were restricted by time.

So far, the best clear record for this dungeon was set over 130 years ago by the first person to ever complete it.

That previous best record was—

Three hours!!
