Charles Lu was stunned, his expression filled with disbelief.
"You... you're already level 7?"
His tone betrayed his doubt—he even suspected he had misread the situation.
Shock completely overwhelmed his mind, leaving him unable to react.
This was something that had never happened before.
The previous highest record was only level 5, yet Mark Lin had just cleared the dungeon at level 7.
All in just 10 hours...
"There weren't enough monsters inside. Otherwise, I should have reached level 8," Mark Lin said matter-of-factly as he simultaneously requested permission to leave the city and head to the outskirts of West Sea City.
No one had expected the monsters inside the dungeon could ever be completely wiped out.
Every time players re-entered the dungeon, the monsters would reset.
No one had ever cleared all monsters within 12 hours.
After all, this was a Novice Dungeon, filled with newbies.
Few skills, weak combat power, inexperienced novice professions.
Especially the level 8 monsters deep inside—their strength was no joke.
They were basically the same as wild monsters out in the field.
Yet Mark Lin had done it, and in under 10 hours.
He completely broke the norms and shattered the record.
Charles Lu thought about it endlessly but simply couldn't understand; he was utterly stunned.
"Teacher Lu?"
Seeing Charles Lu unresponsive, Mark Lin called again and waved his hand in front of his eyes.
After a while, Charles Lu finally snapped out of it and quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I approve. I'll issue you the permission to leave the city now."
"Rest for a bit first. Once all your classmates come out, I'll send you all back."
With this concrete proof of his strength, Mark Lin obtained the permission to leave the city.
His plan could now proceed smoothly.
Back at the table, the other principals looked at Charles Lu with curiosity.
"Old Lu, what happened to you just now?"
"How did that student come out early? Is something wrong?"
"Yeah, is he injured? Why did he come out alone? What about his teammates?"
Charles Lu downed three cups of tea in a row, took a couple of deep breaths, and finally said, "He's Mark Lin. He cleared the Novice Dungeon and wiped out all the level 8 monsters."
Gasp!
The principals all gasped.
Even David Xia, who had seen many storms, showed a look of shock.
They noticed that Mark Lin was already level 7.
To put it simply, leveling from 1 to 7 in 10 hours was a near-legendary speed.
Not to mention wiping out all the level 8 monsters—it spoke volumes about Mark Lin's combat power.
"The hidden class really is formidable," David Xia sighed.
That was the only explanation. Mark Lin's profession was incredibly strong.
"If this is the case, the Necromancer profession might actually surpass all known rare professions and rival legendary ones."
"I don't know how strong the legendary professions are since none of us have seen them. But we've all seen rare professions, and none are this efficient."
"I just wonder if it will remain this strong at higher levels."
"True, like Snow Xia's awakened Elemental Mage this time—she was about the same early on, no different from other mage types. But if she gets the Elemental Enhancement passive skill, she'll be on par with legendary professions."
The principals were experienced veterans.
They knew some professions were strong early but got weaker later.
Others started weak but grew stronger over time.
Plus, skills and talents varied greatly, even within the same profession.
With hundreds of professions, all kinds of scenarios were possible—too complex to judge simply.
Charles Lu glanced at Mark Lin, who was meditating not far away, and felt a bit hopeful.
"At least for now, Mark Lin's Necromancer class is very powerful. What happens next doesn't seem to be our concern."
"Right. If he gets accepted to Summer Capital Academy, that's their business."
David Xia said, "Snow Xia's always competitive. She's probably going to be hit hard by this."
Charles Lu couldn't help but laugh, "Not just this time. You're often away, but actually, Mark Lin's grades have been consistently better than Snow Xia's these past few years. She's been second place for three years."
"Oh... that's tough..." David Xia smiled bitterly. Snow Xia never told him.
He knew his daughter's temper: the less she said, the heavier the burden inside.
Mark Lin continued meditating to restore his spirit power.
His Skeleton Warriors had reached 24, but his Summon Space had a total of 70 slots.
Only a third were filled by Skeleton Warriors.
He still needed a lot of time to fill the remaining spots.
It was now 9 p.m.
The 12-hour dungeon time was finally over, and the students began teleporting out one by one.
After twelve continuous hours of battle, many students showed exhaustion on their faces.
But more than that, they were excited.
The feeling from actual combat was completely different from studying from books.
Many were stained with blood, and a strong metallic smell of blood lingered.
A breeze blew, and a teacher cast a skill to dispel the blood smell.
The instructors quickly gathered their students and checked the headcount.
They looked for injuries and determined if anyone needed treatment.
After a busy period, the results were good—everyone was safe and sound.
Most had reached level 3, with some of the stronger students at level 4.
Snow Xia was also excited.
After a day of fighting, she was level 5, tying the highest record for the Novice Dungeon.
"This time, I definitely won't lose."
"The highest record was level 5. I've already matched it."
"Where did that guy go?"
They didn't see Mark Lin after coming out.
After searching around, Snow Xia finally spotted Mark Lin meditating in the distance.
"When did he come out?"
Her eyes widened, as if shocked by an electric shock. She froze on the spot, completely stunned.
"No way... how is he already level 7?"
