After switching jobs to Navelette, the school beauty turns out to be Funina!

The men passing by stared in amazement, but after seeing the handsome guy next to them who exuded an inexplicable aura despite carrying a bag, they all looked away.

Jiang Chen looked up and commented very seriously.

"It looks good, but isn't this dress a bit too revealing? The back is almost slit all the way down to her waist."

Xia Qingyu blushed and scolded him.

"That's called design sense! You wouldn't understand! Besides, I'm not going out to fight monsters, I just wear it casually."

"Alright, alright, I'll buy it." Jiang Chen sighed and took out the special recruitment black card that Li Changfeng had given him before he left.

"Swipe your card."

This is what it feels like to be a kept man... oh wait, I mean, to have a publicly funded relationship? It's so good!

Just as the two were about to leave the mall, Jiang Chen suddenly paused.

Although he didn't intentionally cultivate his perception attribute, as an "Ancient Dragon," his sense of malice was terrifyingly acute.

From the beginning, several faint auras had been lingering behind them.

"What's wrong?" Xia Qingyu noticed his unusual behavior and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, maybe we bought too much and attracted thieves." Jiang Chen smiled, but his eyes turned cold.

"Qingyu, there's an abandoned underground parking garage on the left ahead. I heard it's under construction and nobody uses it. Let's take a shortcut back."

Xia Qingyu was taken aback.

Taking a shortcut?

Why walk through the abandoned passage when the mall entrance is right next to the main road?

But seeing Jiang Chen's ambiguous smile, the clever girl immediately realized what was going on.

"Great, I don't want to squeeze onto the subway anyway." Xia Qingyu casually took Jiang Chen's arm, her body slightly tense, ready for a fight at any moment.

The two of them swaggered into a dark alley and headed toward the abandoned parking lot.

Sure enough, the tail behind them followed.

……

Inside the abandoned parking lot, the lights were dim, and the air was filled with the smell of mildew and dust.

"Alright, stop hiding. There's not a soul in sight here. Aren't you all feeling a bit suffocated?"

Walking to the center of the open space, Jiang Chen stopped, casually tossed the bags he was carrying onto the ground, and turned to face the empty entrance.

clap clap.

A round of applause broke out.

Three figures dressed in black cloaks and wearing eerie masks emerged from the shadows.

"As expected of a record-breaking genius, your senses are quite sharp." The leader of the black-robed men had a hoarse voice, sounding like fingernails scraping across a blackboard.

"Unfortunately, they were a bit too arrogant. Knowing they were being followed, they still dared to walk into such a dead end?"

"I can't help it, I'm a germaphobe." Jiang Chen flicked the dust off his sleeves.

"It's easy to get your new clothes dirty if you do things outside, but this place is spacious and convenient for cleaning."

Cleaning the floor?

The man in black robes paused for a moment, then let out a piercing burst of maniacal laughter.

"Hahahaha! Whitewashing? Kid, don't you understand the situation? We are deacons of the Eternal Night Order! Every single one of us is an elite, level 30 or above, a second-tier cultivator!"

"You're just a level 10 newbie who's only recently changed jobs, and you're with a little girl? Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you stomped a few wolves in the newbie dungeon?"

The Order of Eternal Night?

Xia Qingyu's expression changed. This was a notorious cult in the country, specializing in hunting down talented professionals and sacrificing them to the Abyss God; their methods were extremely cruel.

"Jiang Chen, they're high-level! I'll hold them off..."

Just as Xia Qingyu was about to raise her staff, Jiang Chen stopped her hand.

"Shh." Jiang Chen put his index finger to his lips.

"Girls shouldn't be fighting all the time. Leave the dirty and tiring work to me, your accessory."

"But……"

"No buts." Jiang Chen took a step forward, looking at the three men in black robes. There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a hint of...excitement?

That was the look in a hunter's eyes when he saw his prey.

"Level 30..." Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

"It should be a bit tougher than that level 8 wolf king, right? Hopefully, it'll give me more opportunities to test out a few more skills."

The leader of the men in black robes was enraged by this contemptuous attitude.

"You're asking for it! Third brother, go break that kid's legs! Capture that woman alive!"

"Hehe, okay!"

The black-robed figure on the left grinned maliciously, then vanished instantly. That was the assassin's [Shadow Step]!

The next second, a cold light appeared directly on the back of Jiang Chen's head!

"Go to hell, you brat!"

The dagger, glowing with a deadly green light, plunged down fiercely!

Xia Qingyu exclaimed

"Be careful!"

However, Jiang Chen didn't even turn his head.

Ding!

A clear, metallic clang rang out.

The dagger, capable of cutting through steel plates, seemed to hit an invisible wall three centimeters from Jiang Chen's skin, unable to advance any further!

A thin film of water had appeared on Jiang Chen's body at some point.

That's the passive effect of [Ancient Dragon's Skin] - a shield based on maximum health.

With Jiang Chen's current health, this shield is thicker than a tank's armor!

"What?!" The assassin's eyes widened, his face showing a look of utter disbelief.

"The power is good, but the accuracy is a bit lacking."

Jiang Chen slowly turned his head, his eyes now completely transformed into eerie vertical pupils, radiating a suffocating pressure.

"Besides, didn't anyone teach you not to stand behind a dragon?"

boom!

A burst of water suddenly erupted from Jiang Chen's back.

This was no ordinary splash of water, but a shockwave like a high-pressure gas explosion!

The assassin didn't even have time to scream before he was blasted away by the terrifying impact, crashing into a concrete pillar more than ten meters away like a rag doll.

boom!

The concrete pillar snapped in two, and the assassin slid down, his chest caved in, clearly beyond saving.

The entire room fell silent.

The remaining two men in black robes stood frozen in place, their eyes beneath their masks filled with terror.

A single strike?

Is this some kind of mage?

This is clearly a Tyrannosaurus Rex in human skin!

"Third Brother!" the leader of the black-robed men roared, his voice trembling.

"This...this is impossible! What level are you?! The intelligence said you were only level 10!"

"I'm level 10," Jiang Chen said, shrugging innocently.

"It's just that my attribute panel might be a bit broken. What, are you scared already? Weren't you just going to break my legs?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the two of them. With each step he took, the moisture in the surrounding air became more concentrated.

Water began to seep into the ground, and condensation began to form on the walls.

The once dry underground parking lot was now filled with the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

"This kid's weird! Second brother, let's attack together! Use our strongest skills!"

The leader, clad in black, dared not be so arrogant any longer. A black scythe appeared in his hand, and his entire body was shrouded in black mist. His companions beside him also raised their staffs and began chanting incantations.

"Darkness withers!"

"Shadow-Eating Bone Arrow!"
