The stone faced no obstacles and flew directly into the blue sky, soaring higher and higher until it disappeared from sight.

"This sky is real," said Lin Daqing.

Zhang Degang also spoke up: "From the information we gathered earlier, this second level seems to be related to agility. However, according to our intel, the Dodeca monsters in this second level won’t appear directly but will launch stealth attacks, elusive as shadows. Fellow cultivator Yang Yuan, now that we have obtained the Dodeca Stone, why don’t we finish this quickly? The faster we clear it, the better. Let’s avoid unnecessary delays."

"Agreed."

Lin Daqing chimed in: "Fellow cultivator Yang Yuan, grinding monsters for game points isn’t worth your time. Clearing the dungeon faster usually yields higher scores. Let’s clear it quickly to earn you more points."

As soon as he said this, he regretted it a little, considering Yang Yuan’s prowess didn’t really need their help.

Nevertheless, Yang Yuan didn’t overthink it and nodded, saying, "No problem, let’s set off."

Yang Yuan did not reveal his Arbitrary Gate, as these two were not trustworthy, at least not yet, since he didn’t know their true intentions.

"Zzzz..."

Suddenly, dark clouds appeared overhead, accompanied by dense lightning.

The next moment, a barrage of lightning struck down.

The faces of Yang Yuan and the others changed.

"Not good, this lightning seems to be targeting us," Zhang Degang said.

In the next instant, the three transformed into streaks of light and shot away.

However, to Zhang Degang and Lin Daqing’s surprise, Yang Yuan’s speed was actually slower than theirs.

This made them understand that Yang Yuan’s displayed level was likely close to his actual level.

Otherwise, hiding his true strength to such an extent would be a bit excessive.

As for that ultimate weapon, perhaps it was some kind of Marvel, or even a Divine Artifact beyond celestial level.

Celestial level warriors can use Divine Artifacts, although such artifacts are scarce, even less common than Marvels, but they do exist.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Overhead, the odd sky continued to unleash dense lightning strikes, becoming increasingly powerful.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Lin Daqing cried out in pain, struck by a bolt of lightning, his skin torn open.

The glow around him, similar to a Ring of Fire Resistance, didn’t block it.

Yang Yuan was also struck but only felt slightly numb, with no major impact.

This made Zhang Degang and Lin Daqing glance sideways, doubting again whether Yang Yuan was concealing his power.

In their hearts, they were puzzled. Why was this fellow cultivator Yang Yuan’s speed so slow, yet his resistance to lightning so strong?

Was he a superpower user with physical abilities?

But now there was no time for such questions.

Because the lightning was becoming more frequent and more powerful.

Suddenly, a hand emerged from the ground, grabbing fiercely at Zhang Degang’s ankle, startling him, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"Be careful with these, the Dodeca monsters will perform stealth attacks. In this level, they won’t show themselves but will hide underground or in space to attack," Lin Daqing said, a bit tense.

No sooner had he finished speaking, another hand suddenly emerged from his left, causing a wound at his waist.

"Ah!"

Lin Daqing screamed, puzzled as to why he was the one injured again.

He quickly accelerated, overtaking Zhang Degang.

Zhang Degang also hastened, even taking out a rune-like item and sticking it on himself.

In the next moment, his speed surged, chasing after Lin Daqing.

Instead, Yang Yuan, who started ahead, was now lagging.

This was the speed gap due to different levels.

Despite Yang Yuan’s physical capabilities far exceeding those of a similar level, there was still a difference between early celestial and mid-celestial levels, even if the other two had just broken through to mid-celestial, they were authentic mid-celestial.

"Boom, boom!!"

The lightning was becoming denser.

Yang Yuan was dodging lightning while being alert for the Dodeca monsters that could appear anytime.

Suddenly, sensing something, he swung a punch towards his waist.

As if he had foresight, at the moment he punched, an arm appeared out of nowhere, just in time to be repelled by his punch.

Yang Yuan also retreated a few steps, surprised.

This Dodeca monster seemed stronger than the one that had emerged from the cave wall earlier, and not just a little stronger.

"Something’s amiss."

Suspicious, he felt like this dungeon was a sort of test.

Of course, game dungeons are always linked to tests as you need to clear one level after another, isn’t that a test?

So he didn’t overthink it.

Seeing the lightning become denser, he had to speed up.

Though he couldn’t catch up to Zhang Degang and Lin Daqing, he wasn’t far behind.

"Swish!"

Another arm appeared out of nowhere, but he noticed it ahead of time and directly grabbed it, giving a fierce pull.

In the next moment, a Dodeca monster was pulled out.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The lightning struck down in a dense barrage, directly shattering the Dodeca monster into fragments.

Then, a Dodeca Stone dropped out.

Yang Yuan paused for a moment, this luck...

In a single thought, he collected the Dodeca Stone, along with the fragments of the monster’s body, and continued running.

As he went further, more Dodeca monsters appeared, but he dodged many of them.

Thanks to his powerful perception and the radar in his Space Armor, he could foresee dangers and avoid them in advance.
