In this world, order has not yet collapsed. Being weak is not a crime, but the strong can get privileges from all sides.
Lu Pingan stood on the 30th floor again, looking at the silver armor that was gradually turning gray, and sighed helplessly.
He won, but he also lost.
"Woo?"
Little Flame tilted its head, its big blood-red eyes a little confused. It didn't know why its master was unhappy. It was because it was not performing well in imitating it.
"No, you did a good job...I'll give you a snack later."
Lying on the ground was a silver armored knight not long ago, a true fourth-level monster.
Just five minutes ago, it used extremely weird movement skills, as well as the ubiquitous dimensional sword light, and perfect and unpredictable sliding steps, making the road safe and uncomfortable.
But when Lu Ping'an didn't talk about martial ethics and let the dogs bite people, the situation naturally changed.
A fourth-level monster, faced with a "little flame" of the same level, and with the gold medal support Lu Ping'an, it didn't last long before it was completely turned into ashes.
"Now, I am a little reluctant to face the fourth level alone..."
What Lu Pingan regrets is that in the secret realm of martial arts training, even with the blessing of the heroic spirit possession, he still cannot defeat the fourth-level creature alone.
In the ancient city, although there are a lot of secret realms, most of them are third-order and below. Although fourth-order creatures can occasionally appear in them, the numbers are extremely effective.
That's not only because there is a huge gap between the third level and the fourth level, and the existence of "Laws" does not consume a little bit of "pollution", but also because the fourth level creatures are too threatening to ordinary practitioners.
Under normal circumstances, monsters of the same level are far weaker than professionals of the same level.
Not only is the monster a single-class creature, it is often a blank slate creature (which relies on racial talents) (no skills, no powerful abilities), but also because it is often dragged onto the battlefield when it is new and has a single attack method and lacks actual combat experience.
Ordinary professionals often not only have two or three composite professions, but also have equipment and consumables, and at least they can coordinate and play tactics.
Professionals with superior individual combat power can even easily deal with monsters of the same level without taking any damage as long as they are adequately prepared.
But starting from the fourth level, things are slightly different.
"...The existence of the Law Order level is a bit too cheating. Not counting the uncontrollable spatial movement ability, the hardware is also a bit over the top."
Law-level abilities can crush professionals of level three and below.
Even true law-level professionals often only have one or two abilities that have reached the law-level level. They must also be careful and vigilant about the law-level abilities of monsters.
Not to mention the gap in hardware... Professionals who have come up along the way often still have two secondary attributes that are just brass or even black iron, while monsters are born with a base of brass and a main attribute of silver. Coupled with the talent advantages of different races, mass-produced monsters can even have a vague advantage.

At low levels, human professionals can use consumables to make up for their shortcomings, but silver-level taboo items and consumables are very powerful, but the price... everyone knows.
The only good thing is that the "production" of monsters above level 4 is often quite limited.
Most of the secret realms in the ancient city cannot be cultivated, and it is also difficult to raise human animal trainers.
Lu Pingan put away the small flame and stood there silently, realizing what he had felt before.
For real fourth-level professionals, fourth-level monsters must also be dealt with carefully, and they are often a disaster for low-level professionals.
And the one just now is not an ordinary fourth level...
"...It's really close. This is really a battle monster."
Thinking of the flash of swords that passed by just now, Lu Pingan bandaged his wounds while reflecting on his mistakes in the battle.
The opponent is faster than you, stronger than yourself, has better martial arts skills than you, has undefendable space powers and perfect combat skills... There seems to be nothing to reflect on. If you don't want to leave just now,
Let the dog bite you or die here. Choose one.
This third-level secret realm is theoretically unable to produce fourth-level monsters, but if third-level monsters survive for a long time, they can still advance and even awaken themselves.
This kind of monster is too dangerous for low-level professionals, and is often "hidden" after successfully advancing, only to be kept at the bottom of the box at level 30.
This leads to the fact that the 29th and 30th floors are not the same difficulty at all... More losers give these monsters at the bottom of the box more practical experience and a longer survival time (the monsters will survive as they survive)
(and become stronger by eating), they also evolved stronger.
There is another way of saying that "controllable fourth-level creatures" are already a kind of wealth for such a secret realm. They do not die in it, but survive for a long time in another way.
In short, the ones guarding the 30th floor are not the template monsters that have just reached the fourth level, but often the experienced monsters of the fourth level veterans.
It's no wonder that when Su Zhizhu cleared the customs, the whole square was in a frenzy. This was a very rare situation.
Lu Pingan shook his head, feeling a little regretful and helpless.
As expected, it is too early to fight against such monsters by relying on martial arts alone, and it will not be useful for experience.
"...let me out."
This time, the system also gave the same choices.
Lu Ping'an once again chose item reward C, and the knight threw over a bottle of armor protective oil without hesitation, his contempt and dissatisfaction were palpable.
Lu Pingan shrugged. He had no choice but to improve. Level 29 was the current limit.
But when it is rare to encounter the state of being possessed by a heroic spirit, it is natural to squeeze it dry... retain as much martial arts experience as possible, and it is certain to reach the upper limit.
The current level 19 allows him to use it very comfortably. Although he was hung up and beaten by the opponent at level 30, as the battle progressed, he did feel that more martial arts instincts and actual combat experience were integrated into his body.
Since the actual combat effect is so obvious, tomorrow's three games will probably reach the 30th level, and I'm afraid I will have to harvest three more bottles of maintenance oil or garbage blessings.
"He's out!"
"...This is less than 20, right? This has penetrated the knight's secret realm?"
"The last one is the ability of the animal tamer, how can he bypass the restrictions of the gardener and the animal tamer."
"The most ridiculous thing is that he has many abilities, such as animal trainer, gardener, and war job. How come he has so much time to practice..."
The appearance of Lu Ping'an caused a wave of exclamations from outside.
Of course, there was also the complicated look in Su Zhizhu's eyes... She stayed until the second half of the night, just to see Lu Ping'an's failure, but in the end, she saw the reality that this young man had passed the level with ease.
She didn't know Lu Ping'an's disappointment in her heart. She only saw the young man easily breaking through the secret realm at twelve o'clock, and she was serious about breaking through the 30th floor... She lacked "aggression"
"It was indeed a bit uncomfortable for her to face a heavily armored unit with no weak points.
"...I'm looking forward to the showdown in 2 weeks."
After leaving these words, she left.
She was going to have a serious discussion with Ba Manzhen. She had spent this period of time at the trading place, and it was time to prepare for the war. It was best to improve before the battle again.
She felt that this was still not Lu Ping'an's full strength. At least the narrow duel field limited most of his large-scale killing capabilities.
"If it doesn't work out, just sell that thing. I don't know if I can afford the 'White Pigeon'..."
At this moment, she no longer regards her previous defeat as a shame...losing to a weakling is a shame, but losing to a competitor who is almost the same as herself can only be regarded as a lack of strength.
She is serious and she will prepare for this showdown wholeheartedly.
Lu Ping'an had no idea why they were having so much drama. His mind was filled with martial arts experience and recent business...
"The fragments of living armor are enough to serve as the foundation of flesh and blood, but what to use for the core of wisdom and the essence of blood? The living armor cards are also used. It feels like reshaping a living armor, and the upper limit is a bit low. The fourth level
There is still a little bit of living armor material. If not, I need to brush it a few more times, but the knight will be annoyed..."
Obtaining the fourth-level living armor fragments can be regarded as completing Lu Ping'an's primary goal of coming here... Since the fourth-level ones can be cultivated, they are naturally more useful than the third-level and second-level ones.
He was thinking about the composition of the second baby. Wherever he passed, even if he lowered his head and thought, passers-by and bystanders would consciously give way to him.
This is the privilege of the strong, this is the effect of reputation... I'm afraid it won't be long before many professionals in the ancient city will know that the third special service team has another captain-level person in charge.
In the middle of the night, when Lu Ping'an was still thinking about his way out, he suddenly received a text message.
"Have a safe trip and good job."
Xia Qin's sudden text message made Lu Pingping a little confused.
"...What? What did I do? I haven't had any car accidents recently. Be reasonable, Captain Xia!"
