Inside the Abyss Corridor.
The upbeat BGM was still looping.
Mo Wushuang stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, completely dumbfounded.
The Abyss Devourer, whose health bar had nearly been depleted by Hollow Technique: Purple, began to emit a blinding golden light.
Its massive, grotesque body was deforming and restructuring at a visible speed.
Its health bar not only stopped dropping—it began to surge upward wildly!

A World-Class BOSS appearing in an academy dungeon—such a thing was unheard of!
"Mo Wushuang, try the teleportation crystal!"
