The response to Lu Fan was a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at him as if they had seen a monster.
Sun Ge swallowed nervously, scrutinizing Lu Fan from head to toe before saying in disbelief, "You… you're really only level 14?"
Xiao Jia's face was full of amazement as well. He said, "Why do I feel like you're already a second-class swordsman? It seems your Strength and Agility attributes are even higher than Sun Ge's, and your skill damage is more terrifying than Sun Ge's [Full Moon Slash]…"
Lu Fan chuckled and openly displayed his level panel, saying, "I really am only level 14. Haven't you all seen that? How could I fake it?"
Sun Ge shook his head repeatedly, saying, "The combat power you just showed—there's no way I believe you're level 14."
Although curious, Sun Ge didn't ask to see Lu Fan's profession panel or attribute panel, because he knew that since Lu Fan intended to hide his stats and profession, requesting to see them would be impolite.
At this moment, Qin Qiu stepped forward and showed much more respect toward Lu Fan. "Lu, are you so strong because you have a hidden profession?"
Lu Fan nodded and said, "You could say that."
Qin Qiu frowned slightly and added, "You said you're from Jianghai City, right? At the Class Advancement Ceremony, I should know all the famous strong players, but I've never heard of you…"
Lu Fan smiled, "So you suspect I'm lying? Don't worry, there's no need."
"Not exactly…" Qin Qiu quickly explained, not wanting Lu Fan to feel she didn't trust him.
"I'm just curious. For Jianghai City to have such a strong student like you, I should have heard about you. But among the experts I know, there's no mention of you…"
Lu Fan said casually, "I'm just an unknown nobody. It's normal that you haven't heard of me."
As he spoke, Lu Fan took out his Third High School student ID card and showed it to Qin Qiu. "See, I'm a student at Third High. An ID card like this can't be faked."
Every school's ID card is a special token that no one can counterfeit.
Lu Fan's ID confirmed that he really was a student at Third High.
Seeing Lu Fan's ID, Sun Ge and the others finally let go of their last worries.
But at the same time, they were even more shocked—a newly transferred student had combat power surpassing Sun Ge's.
This kid's hidden profession must be incredibly strong!
Qin Qiu thought that perhaps there really were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world. If Lu Fan had always been low-key, it was understandable she had never heard his name before.
Thinking this, a faint sense of frustration arose in her heart, because she had believed her own strength was quite good, and that scoring top in Jianghai City's final exams wouldn't be difficult.
But compared to Lu Fan, her strength was not even in the same league.
By now, Lu Fan had put away his ID card and said to everyone, "I feel the deeper we go into the Village of Despair, the stronger and more numerous the monsters become."
"Our team lacks a frontline, so I'll take the lead from now on. Is that okay?"
No one objected, of course.
Although this gave Lu Fan the chance to deal more damage, and with his strength, he would certainly top the damage rankings after clearing the Secret Realm, gaining the right to choose dungeon rewards first.
But Lu Fan truly had the ability!
They even suspected Lu Fan might be able to solo this Secret Realm.
Right now, it seemed Lu Fan was the main force in the dungeon run, and everyone else was just along for the numbers.
Lu Fan's status in the team rose sharply, and no one opposed his words.
Qin Qiu nodded and said, "It's settled then. Lu, you, Brother Jia, and Uncle Ge will lead at the front. We're about to enter the village, and there should be more monsters inside."
The others nodded and agreed to the arrangement for the time being.
So Lu Fan took the first row and led the way with Sun Ge and Xiao Jia.
The group continued forward and soon encountered a third wave of zombie attacks.
This wave had even more zombies, including over twenty Blood Zombies.
Without Lu Fan, Qin Qiu's team definitely couldn't handle so many monsters, but with Lu Fan, it was different.
Lu Fan stood firm with his sword drawn at the front line, easily killing even the level 25 elite monsters in seconds.
The third wave of monsters was quickly cleared. Sharp-eyed Cai'er, while searching, found that most houses in the village had a treasure chest, likely a stage reward from the Secret Realm.
The group entered a house where zombies had already been cleared and opened a chest, discovering a bottle of [Strength Potion] and two bottles of [Antidote].
