Lin Yi flew down from the sky.
He did not bother with the Tianshui Academy Class Users who had been so terrified by the searing heat and violent shockwaves that they had lost their wits, some even fainting.
Instead, he flew to what had once been the southern corner of Feiliekain.
He picked up a middle-aged man who had previously been surrounded and besieged by Shadow Demons, exhausted and gravely injured.
Lin Yi had no favorable impression of those arrogant Tianshui Academy people who looked down their noses at everyone, so naturally, he had no urge to play the saint and lend them a hand.
He had already shown mercy. Whether they could make it out of the Dungeon afterward was none of his concern.
The reason Lin Yi saved this middle-aged man was that, with the help of the [All-Knowing Eye], he had seen his name.
Jiang Chen.
With the surname Jiang, coupled with what Jiang Ya had told him before, Lin Yi had no trouble guessing that this was likely the "Second Uncle" who had risked his life to buy Jiang Ya and the others a chance to escape.
Jiang Ya had previously given him all sorts of items out of friendship as classmates, and Jiang Xian had promised to give him special treatment out of goodwill to nurture him.
Since it was only a small effort, Lin Yi saved him.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the Trial Dungeon: City of Fading Light, Feiliekain!] [You have obtained a new title: Abyss Challenger!] [You completed the hidden ending of this Trial Dungeon and killed the high-difficulty BOSS Shadow Demon Spider. Your title has been upgraded!] [You have obtained a new title: Abyss Conqueror!] [The darkness of the Special Trial Dungeon: City of Fading Light, Feiliekain has been completely purged, and the city has been utterly annihilated. The Dungeon's internal structure has completely vanished.] [As of today, this Special Trial Dungeon has been permanently removed from Blue Star and the Abyss World!]
Lin Yi froze.
Holy shit, permanently removed.
That meant this Dungeon had completely disappeared.
It would never appear again.
Good grief, he had actually played the Dungeon right out of existence.
Perhaps because the Dungeon no longer existed, Lin Yi was directly teleported out of it.
Lin Yi only felt his vision blur.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already back on the lush grasslands outside Jiangcheng.
The sun was bright, the breeze gentle, and the scenery was breathtaking. It was far more comfortable than that hellish Dungeon map.
When they saw the Dungeon light screen change.
The next moment, Lin Yi appeared while carrying Jiang Ya's Second Uncle.
Everyone waiting outside the Dungeon entrance was stunned.
Because less than three minutes had passed since Lin Yi entered this Trial Dungeon!
To be precise, it had been just over two minutes!
How had he come out so quickly?
Wait, who was he carrying?!
Why did that person look somewhat familiar?!
Perhaps Jiang Chen's injuries were too severe. His clothes were torn to shreds, and his face was a bloody mess, so Jiang Xian did not recognize his own second son at first.
But Jiang Ya cried out, "Second Uncle!"
Only then did Jiang Xian realize that Lin Yi had actually rescued someone!
In an instant, several people rushed over.
What Zuo Qian cared about more was whether Lin Yi had been injured.
"Lin Yi, you scared me to death!"
"How could you be so reckless? You actually dared to enter the Dungeon alone!"
"Are you hurt?"
Lin Yi said, "I'm fine, but I can't say the same for him."
Lin Yi pointed at Jiang Chen, whom he had laid flat on the ground.
Jiang Xian hurried forward to check his breathing.
Then delight appeared on his face.
"He's still breathing. He's alive!"
"Priests, Healers, get over here and save him!"
Jiang Xian was, after all, nominally the foremost figure in Jiangcheng. His orders carried more weight than anyone else's.
Many official emergency responders in white coats immediately came over and quickly examined Jiang Chen's injuries.
"Thank you!" After learning that her Second Uncle was only seriously injured rather than dead, Jiang Ya wept like pear blossoms in the rain.
While wiping away her tears, she thanked Lin Yi.
"It really isn't easy to hear those two words from you. I haven't heard them once in the past three years."
Seeing her like this, Lin Yi could not help teasing her.
For the past three years, Jiang Ya had always been the aloof school belle. She would never have smiled at Lin Yi, much less thanked him.
Jiang Ya stamped her foot.
She seemed somewhat annoyed that Lin Yi was still teasing her in front of her family at a time like this.
After settling his second son, Jiang Xian also walked over to thank Lin Yi.
"I originally thought entering the Dungeon was a reckless act on your part, but I never expected you had gone in to save someone. I truly don't know how our Jiang Family can repay such a life-saving favor..."
Lin Yi froze.
No, sir.
You might have misunderstood.
I only went in to clear the Dungeon. Saving him was just something I did along the way...
"What, did he step in dog shit? The City of Passing Light Dungeon map is so huge, yet he just happened to spawn beside that injured man the moment he entered?"
"From the time he entered to the time he came out, it was less than three minutes. He probably used a Forced Dungeon Escape Scroll to teleport out. At least he had some sense..."
The Tianshui Academy onlookers.
Seeing that Lin Yi had truly rescued an injured man.
They were somewhat shocked as well.
But their words remained as harsh as ever.
As for the possibility that Lin Yi had only come out after clearing the Dungeon, that scenario had never even crossed their minds.
Because it was impossible!
The Dungeon's clearance requirement was to survive for three hours!
Coming out early.
Meant failing the Dungeon.
Wasn't that obvious?!
"It's good that you're alright. There will be more chances to obtain Abyss qualifications in the future..."
Zuo Qian comforted Lin Yi as well.
Lin Yi was speechless.
Seriously, their ability to imagine things was a little too strong.
But Lin Yi did not need to explain anything.
Because in the next moment, an announcement that resounded throughout the entire area surrounding the Dungeon left everyone present dumbfounded!
[Dungeon Completion Announcement!] [Congratulations to Class User: Lin Yi, for clearing the Special Trial Dungeon: City of Fading Light, Feiliekain!] [Clearance time: 0 hours, 2 minutes, 42 seconds!] [Clearance rating: S!] [This clearance record has broken the Dungeon's best record. This record will be permanently engraved on the Blue Star Global Dungeon Completion Rankings and may be viewed at any time!]
Everyone was dumbstruck.
At the entire Dungeon entrance.
Not a single person in the bustling crowd made a sound.
They all stared at Lin Yi as though he were a monster!
Even the white beard on the chin of Jiang Xian, a Fourth Turn Great Mage, trembled faintly.
Huh?
He had cleared it??
Lin Yi had not entered to rescue someone. He had really gone in to clear the Dungeon?
Zuo Qian, the principal of No.2 High School, had his brain completely shut down.
He could tell this young man had some ability.
But he had not expected him to have this much ability!
He had really cleared it?!
Not only had he cleared it, he had even broken the Blue Star global clearance record for this Special Trial Dungeon?!
The record announcement could not be faked.
It could be said that the will of the Blue Star Heavenly Dao was personally vouching for Lin Yi!
The bespectacled man from Tianshui Academy, who had remained calm and watched everything with cold detachment.
This time, he was completely unable to remain composed.
He took a deep breath.
How had this young man, who seemed ordinary and unremarkable aside from being handsome, suddenly become so terrifying?
As one of Tianshui Academy's ten Faculty Mentors whose strength had reached the Sixth Turn, he naturally knew the City of Fading Light, Feiliekain extremely well.
This Dungeon was very special.
Because its clearance conditions restricted the time.
Therefore, up to this day.
The Dungeon's best clearance record had been set more than 130 years ago by the first person to clear it.
The previous best record was—
Three hours!!
