Dungeon Shocks the Entire Nation!

"Beinal and the Thirty Heroes?"

In a short time, Aide Jia had obtained recent intelligence from the two soldiers.

"That's interesting."

The news about the Zane Dungeon and the Glory Dungeon has spread far and wide. People are no longer trying to hide it. Even if Aide Jia didn't get the answers he wanted from the soldiers, he would find out sooner or later.

People are incredibly enthusiastic about this, and the first thing they say when they meet is, "Did you know that Glory Dungeon has undergone a mutation and can even have a synergy effect with the Zane Dungeon!"

If the person saying these things is an adventurer, they are probably just exchanging information or something.

But in reality, adventurers don't make up a large number of the group that says these things; the majority are ordinary people passing through the Warrior Country!

The way they talked about it was like discussing how a long-established company that held so many childhood memories suddenly launched a new product to keep up with the times. To give a somewhat inaccurate analogy, it's like White Rabbit candy suddenly starting to sell lip balm.

People aren't doing this for any utilitarian purpose; they're simply telling stories out of pure curiosity.

They usually start Remembrance their childhood while chatting, and end with sighs and lamentations about the changes in life.

This demonstrates the status of Glory Dungeon in people's hearts. During the spread of this news, many ordinary people who had not been paying attention to dungeons recently learned about the Zane Dungeon through it.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Zane Dungeon piggybacked on the other's popularity; more accurately, it was a mutual piggybacking. Sion brought adventurers to Glory, while Glory brought Sion fame among ordinary people.

Win-win!

"The Zane Dungeon always manages to bring unexpected events, but this time it's a bit too restless."

After leaving the two soldiers, Aide Jia pondered what he had just learned.

The teacher's message was devoid of emotion; it simply asked them to find the source of the anomaly. He found it so quickly, and he felt somewhat smug about it.

"However, even if the two underground cities joined forces, they could not compare to the preparations made by my master and me over the years. In the end, it would only be a flash in the pan."

How could the sudden change in the underground city erase their years of hard work?

"However, just in case, we still need to go and investigate the situation."

Therefore, Aide Jia did not seek out Lan Le to discuss the research results of the past few days. Instead, he changed into some less conspicuous clothes and walked straight out of the mansion onto a bustling street.

He first went to the guild where adventurers gathered, and sure enough, the adventurers were discussing the two dungeons, Sein and Glory. Occasionally, someone would talk about the Boulder Dungeon, but it was just about some boring mining techniques.

"Everyone in the Adventurers' Guild is talking about this, it's normal, it'll calm down in a couple of days."

Aide Jia left the guild and deliberately chose a street far from the Zane Dungeon, then randomly walked into a tavern.

Inside, the idle men who had started drinking in broad daylight were discussing the Glory Dungeon and the newly appeared heroes with expressions of Remembrance about the past.

"Why are these drunks talking about the dungeon? Well, it's within acceptable limits. Drunk people will talk about anything."

He said he could accept it, but his expression changed, and he immediately went to a flower shop where there was a crowd of people, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with adventurers.

As soon as I entered, I heard the people inside discussing Glory and Sion.

His expression was as if he had swallowed a fly, and he immediately ran to a more secluded street, but he still heard about the topic of the underground city.

Run, run again, keep running.

He kept searching for secluded places, and eventually ended up running all the way outside the city.

"Have you heard about Sion and the Glory Dungeon?" The young man, who was farming, looked up and chatted with his companion.

Aide Jia isn't running away this time, or rather, he has nowhere to run.

Whether they were elderly men or women, young men or women, it seemed that everyone knew about the changes in Glory Dungeon overnight.

"Is this topic really that popular?"

He was completely unable to calm down. He was not prepared for this situation at all and was deeply shocked by what he was seeing.

Everyone's talking about the dungeon!

Although he was also born in the Warrior Country, he had no interest in anything outside the world because he had been learning magic from Yuenka since he was a child, and naturally could not understand the feelings of most Warrior Country.

"Dad, have you heard? Now you can transform into a hero and experience the game in the Glory Dungeon. I remember you always said that your favorite hero was [Iron Man of Justice]."

"Such a thing exists? I definitely have to experience it!"

"At your age, can you still conquer the dungeon? Your son is setting off for the dungeon tomorrow to become the [Emperor Battle Demon]!"

"Don't underestimate my persistence in pursuing my childhood dream!"

Aide Jia overheard a conversation between a father and son on the street, which instantly froze him in place.

For the people of the Warrior Country, transforming into a hero might be equivalent to having the opportunity to transform into Giant of Light, Kamen Rider, a magnetic field master, or other childhood heroes.

Even if it means crawling out of a coffin with all your might, you have to try!

This anomaly in the Glory Dungeon brought joy to those who had once admired heroes, like a festival.

But Aide Jia saw this joyful scene and was suddenly chilled to the bone. Even under the blazing sun, he felt a chill run through his body and broke out in a cold sweat.

What bothered him wasn't how happy people were when discussing heroes, but rather the fact that their discussions invariably included two words he didn't want to hear—"Weapon Skill."

This scene felt just like he was back in his childhood!

At that time, the Warrior Reform had not yet appeared. People like him, who could not learn Weapon Skill and were physically weak, were ridiculed for their strength in magic!

From a young age, he felt inferior because he couldn't learn Weapon Skill. In his eyes, although the people around him didn't say anything, he could keenly sense the "mocking" looks they cast at him. He felt that every sigh from his relatives was because of him.

Therefore, Aide Jia was a staunch advocate of Warrior Reform and the supremacy of pure magic!

That's why he couldn't even accept the Weapon Skill Glintstone Pebble!

"We can't let this continue!"

He turned around and hurriedly walked back. He had thought that the impact of the Glory Dungeon would be troublesome, but after conducting an on-site investigation, he found that the impact was actually as big as it is now.

This absolutely cannot be allowed to continue! Not only for his sake, but also for the sake of people like him!

"We must hurry and find Prince Lanle! We also need to report to our teacher!"

Since the two dungeons have brought about a revival of Weapon Skill, opposing forces will naturally emerge.

Now is the perfect time.

Meanwhile, chaos reigned at the headquarters of the Golden Lion Merchant Guild in Black Rock City.

"Where has Mr. Basque gone? A big business deal has come knocking! We'd better hurry or it'll be too late!"

"The Berserk Dragon has reappeared on the border, causing enormous damage. Crops and other items have been severely impacted. The border has sent a large list of required supplies. If we don't seize this business, we'll fall behind the other merchant guilds!"

Faced with this businessman's anxious expression, the headquarters staff could only sigh helplessly:

"If you have any questions, go to our Chamber of Commerce's deputy. Mr. Te Pi Bask hasn't shown up at the Chamber of Commerce for a long time."

"What? Why?" the merchant asked, puzzled.

"He's recently become obsessed with Thirty Heroes."

In the Glory Dungeon, in the Thirty Heroes area.

"I told you, you can't beat me."

Transformed into a certain hero, Te Pi raised his chin at the adventurer opposite him and said, "How many times have you challenged me? I'm tired of it."

"I refuse to believe I can't beat you! How about we make a bet!" the adventurer on the other side said angrily, looking just like an e-sports player who had been thoroughly thrashed by his opponent and was now in a state of desperation.

A smile crept across Te Pi's lips, thinking he'd finally taken the bait. He said casually, "Alright, how about the Hound Step in your hand? That's the only thing you have that's worth anything."

"Hound Step? This..."

"What's wrong? You were so confident about taking the gamble just now, but now you're chickening out?"

"Who backed down, and what's your bet?"

"What about the shares in my chamber of commerce?"

Tempted by the enormous profits, the adventurer hesitated for a moment before agreeing—and really, he only hesitated for a moment.

As if timed perfectly, the soldiers from both sides charged out the moment the duel began, instantly igniting a heated atmosphere on the battlefield, and Te Pi and the adventurer also started fighting.

"How is that possible? I can't hit him at all!"

Te Pi dodged every attack from the adventurer with ease, while he always got hit by the opponent, even when he used Hound Step!

It seems that Te Pi has learned many Weapon Skill during this period and has also undergone rigorous training. He can even use Vacuum Slash to firmly catch the adventurer's Hound Step after the attack is off!

This is something that ordinary exercise cannot achieve.

If it were just these things, the adventurer wouldn't be angry. What made him lose control of his emotions the most was that every time he was about to hit Te Pi, the opponent would dart under the Mage Tower!

If he were hit by the attack magic released by the Mage Tower, he would lose half his life. But this guy Te Pi shamelessly went inside to find a chance to recover, and then came out to fight after he was rested!

What's even more infuriating is that Te Pi actually knew the appearance and movement patterns of the monsters in the forest next to the Mage Tower, and could even deliberately lure adventurers to the monsters!

Not to mention things like pretending to run away but then suddenly turning around and attacking, or bypassing the Mage Tower to cut off the adventurer's minion wave, and so on.

In one battle, Te Pi used more tricks than any adventurer had in their entire life.

"I... I lost."

In the end, the adventurer collapsed to his knees, helpless, with his base camp crumbling behind him. He was powerless to turn the tide.

"I'll accept the Hound Step."

Te Pi chuckled as he accepted the dagger that War Ash Hound Step, finally obtaining the Weapon Skill he had longed for.

He gripped the dagger tightly, his gaze fixed on the distance, towards the direction of the Zane Dungeon.

These past few days, he has been relentlessly honing his skills, undergoing training that almost self-destructively requires to become stronger. He has also been actively learning all the heroic Weapon Skill in the Glory Dungeon. He has now reached an unprecedented peak of strength, and he will become even stronger in the future.

As for why he did this, it all stemmed from a premonition that had appeared in his mind not long ago.

"I have a feeling."

He stared in the direction of the Zane Dungeon and muttered to himself:

"The Zane Dungeon may soon undergo new changes, and in this change..."

"Leon may very well appear before me again!"
