Not far from the temple.
Yang Xin looked incredulously at the temple that had been leveled, swallowing hard and staring at Empress floating in the abyssal sky.
This...
And you're telling me this is level 11?
Oh, now it's level 13, with two more upgrade flashes appearing on Shen Fei just now.
Before meeting Shen Fei.
If someone had told her that someone at Tier One could unleash such terrifying power.
She would just scoff, telling him not to read so many novels to avoid damaging his mind.
But now that it's really happening in front of her, her brain just goes blank.
Bro, where did you buy that cheat!!
"Nice experience!"
Shen Fei didn't expect to level up twice directly; the feeling was quite refreshing. They said that after level 10, getting experience would be much slower than before.
Some people might take a month to go from level 1 to 10, but it could take a year to go from 10 to 20.
Mainly because there are two more entries to draw now.
"These all exploded out."
With a flick of Empress's hand, tentacles formed from earth extracted the items that exploded out, their varied colors surprising Shen Fei.
Sure enough, using [Rolling Wealth] on Empress was the best choice.
However, the demons were a bit special, as they could actually drop equipment—it's an attribute of Abyssal creatures.
So in Blue Star's consciousness judgment, demons are no longer considered Blue Star professionals.
Though they retain Blue Star's unique professional system.
But they lack the Abyss Core.
Shen Fei stuffed all the dropped equipment and items into his backpack to be sorted later.
As his backpack gained 40 more slots after reaching level 10, it's now up to 50 slots, which isn't bad.
"Is that the Pollution Core?"
Shen Fei looked at the last thing left in the temple, an altar made of dark stones piled together, with complex runes on its surface forming an eyeball-like array.
At the center of the altar floated a crystal, twelve-faced and sparkling like a gem, but the core contained intense black energy.
At first glance.
Shen Fei felt disgust from the core, even a physiological disgust.
"Yes, that's the Pollution Core..."
Yang Xin nodded, now realizing that the previously missing students were likely sacrificed to elevate the Pollution Core's tier, opening more Abyssal power.
"How do we take it?"
"This... I don't know..." Yang Xin was a bit embarrassed, seemingly unaware of how to take the Pollution Core since she wasn't expected to complete this task.
Or rather, it wasn't meant for them to complete.
To investigate this mission, one needs at least Tier Three professionals who've undergone their first tier-up awakening, not a college student like her, nor can everyone be Shen Fei.
"Master, I feel I can eat it..."
At this moment, Vast Heaven Holy Spirit suddenly spoke.
"Eat?"
Shen Fei shook his head, rejecting it. He didn't want to eat Abyss stuff, though he wasn't worried about Vast Heaven Holy Spirit betraying him, there's a risk of it being targeted by the Abyss.
Or, Vast Heaven Holy Spirit is to be his main battle Summoned Beast, who knows if having Abyssal breath might let someone use this against him.
He didn't know the consequences of his Summoned Beast possessing Abyssal breath.
"I'll ask Dusk Rain later..." Shen Fei remembered he has a girlfriend who's a Demon Warlock, which is probably connected to the Abyss.
For now, it's best left to the Breaking Abyss Army.
"Alright."
Vast Heaven Holy Spirit was a bit disappointed but followed Shen Fei's order.
Just then.
Some figures appeared in the distance, raising Shen Fei's vigilance, but Yang Xin quickly recognized the leader.
"It's Battalion Commander Liu!"
Yang Xin, having met Liu Wentao, quickly identified him.
The hidden Stabbing Immortal ceased to cover his sword with Power of the Void, Empress dispersed the mana in her hand, and Vast Heaven Holy Spirit calmed its mobilized energy.
"This... indeed only Tier Four can cause such damage!"
Liu Wentao arrived, saw the hot zone, and couldn't help but swallow.
Vast Heaven Holy Spirit lowered Shen Fei and Yang Xin from its shoulder.
Naturally, Liu Wentao noticed the altar and Pollution Core.
But he was more focused on the person who triggered the anomaly.
"Did you see that Fire Lotus attack?"
Liu Wentao assumed Shen Fei and the others recently arrived since based on the scale of this settlement and Shen Fei's reported enemy scale estimate.
No way Shen Fei handled it, right?
Yet, Yang Xin's next words made everyone gasp.
"I saw, it was Shen Fei's Summoned Beast that caused it..." Yang Xin recalled the nearly burning power, unknowingly with some admiration in her voice.
"Wait, Shen Fei caused it?"
Liu Wentao froze, looking sharply at Shen Fei.
Shen Fei knew his strength couldn't be concealed, so nodded and admitted.
Since he'll reveal himself in upcoming events like the exchange competition, he had to prove he could stand beside Dusk Rain step by step.
It's a tough task to get the future in-law's approval.
"Awesome, whoa!"
Liu Wentao couldn't help but swear, thinking Fang Yuan gave him trouble, turns out it's a real talent, a true genius.
Just a few days passed, already level 10 plus.
Additionally, capable of bursting out Tier Four, near Tier Five power.
Liu Wentao naturally had no doubts, or that lying about this was unnecessary; strength can't be hidden easily, claiming lesser strength is easier to disguise.
But claiming higher strength, if fake, is easily exposed.
Especially as Shen Fei's strength is evident.
Clearing the Hell Dungeon at level 1.
Accomplishing such feat doesn't seem difficult.
Everyone widened their eyes, looked at each other in shock.
Shen Fei's youthful face naturally caught their gaze.
Initially, they thought it was Tier Four or Five professionals who caused the attack, now learning it was Shen Fei's Summoned Beast.
Since they came here, they asked about the discoverer en route.
Liu Wentao briefly explained Shen Fei.
Freshly awakened high school student.
Now you're telling me the Summoned Beast can unleash Tier Four attacks.
"Ahem..."
Liu Wentao suddenly asked, "Shen Fei, are you interested in the Breaking Abyss Army?"
"Interested."
Shen Fei nodded, saying he came to the Abyss Edge for this, as his parents are members of the Breaking Abyss Army themselves!
