“I need two more levels to reach the next profession evolution node.”

Moss felt he had to prioritize experience value among the three requirements for unlocking more Holy Belief value. He knew how to increase Holy Belief value and mount growth value.

By looking at his previous experience value increases, he confirmed he could only gain one experience value after experiencing or training somewhere. Because he had been to the elite training camp twice for different purposes, the experience increases also differed.

However, the experience value only increased once, according to the system. Moss could only increase the experience value by going to a new place to gain experience points.

However, he was 200 points away from the unlocked condition. These points were significant because Moss did not know where to increase them.

‘I must still try my best to find a new experience point. Otherwise, it will delay my profession’s evolution.’

He flipped through his interface again as he was thinking.

‘Death Knight and Dungeon Knight, eh? Let’s check them out.’

He clicked the question mark behind the Dungeon Knight profession. After clicking it, he saw the unlocking conditions.

“Dungeon experience 0, locked.”

He felt delighted. ‘It looks like the underground city exists after all! Considering the conditions of the Dungeon Knight, one of the conditions is to gather dungeon experience.’

From that point, he could see that the underground city existed, and he could use it to gain experience. With that thought, he became excited as his eyes shined.

Although there were still unknown conditions for his profession’s evolution, he did not even know the name of the upcoming profession. Still, he knew he was one step closer to his next evolution after deducing he could use the underground city to gain experience.

He had access to his absolute defense skill, holy light protection, and Radiant Splendor now, so his attack power was at an extreme level. Under these things and his four-star Red Flame Holy Sword, Moss could deal with anything as long as they were not mid-level or above powerhouses.

He also gained plenty of confidence after experiencing the college entrance exams. To be honest, he was not confident initially, but he resolutely chose the toughest test under the protection of his consciousness and the knight’s spirit.

A voice in his heart always asked, “Will you give up if the humans you protected are your family members? Absolutely not!”

His heart surged whenever he thought of that, and a voice would resolutely shout in his heart. The voice would also appear whenever he encountered difficulties or extreme danger.

At that time, those words would pop into his mind. At the same time, it would stimulate his boundless fighting spirit and potent spiritual power. Thus, he relied on his potent spiritual power, boundless fighting spirit, proficiency, and ingenious use of various skills to pass one test after another.

Not only did it allow Moss to obtain more recognition from the people, but it also filled him with confidence.

After passing the college entrance exams that lasted four days, he felt how much he had grown, verifying his strength after becoming a Holy Light Knight. He also knew where he stood since he was ranked in the top ten throughout the country.

As a sophomore, it was not easy for him to take the exams in advance and obtain excellent results against most third-year students in the country. If more people knew Moss had taken the college entrance exams earlier, they would be even more shocked.

Ranking in tenth place made him look forward to the college life that would soon arrive. He wanted to witness the strength of the other elites for himself.

“There’s still time. If I can successfully change my profession before I start college, facing the top 10 elites in the country would be…”

Moss could not help but smile, his eyes filled with endless anticipation. There were still two months left for summer vacation. Although two months were not long, many things could happen, and many things could change.

He believed the other elites would constantly use their precious summer vacation to improve themselves.

“I must go to the dungeon,” he said, “I have to go to the library and read about it first.”

He immediately walked to the city library when his phone rang. “Hello, Deputy Chief Instructor Red Spider.”

“Hello, Moss. Congratulations on getting into the institute you wished for,” a passionate voice echoed from the other end of the call, “You are the pride and joy of our training camp.”

“Thank you so much, Instructor Red Spider. The training camp provided me with perfect training conditions and allowed me to prepare well.”

“You’re still so humble. That was the result of your hard work. We didn’t do anything,” Red Spider laughed heartily and changed the topic, “Oh, I called to invite you to participate in the training camp’s summer activities.”

“Okay, I’ll go study right away!” Moss readily agreed.

“Tsk! You’re mistaken, kid. We’re inviting you to share your experiences and give lectures to the students.”

Moss asked, “Is that appropriate?”

“What’s wrong with that? You’re the country’s top scorer and ranked top ten throughout the country—No one else is more suitable than you. If you refuse, I can only assume you think the training camp is not worthy of your presence, Mr. Top Scorer,” Red Spider mocked.

“I-I wouldn’t dare refuse. I accept!”

After hanging up the phone, surprise surged through Moss’s heart.

“Why is Instructor Red Spider so enthusiastic now?” He thought the person who called was not the actual Red Spider but more like Flying Wolf.

He wondered if something good had happened. After some thought, he still could not figure it out. He only smiled and shook his head.

“It’s a good idea to revisit the training camp because I can ask the instructors and lecturers about the dungeon,” he muttered. He raised his head slightly and continued walking toward the library.

…

The city library was full of people, and it was during summer vacation. More than half of the students went there to study. Some went to study while others went to read and search for information.

Moss busied himself with searching for information immediately after entering. However, he had searched through the entire library and could not find any books about the underground city, even after searching for a few hours.

“Is the underground city that mysterious?” After searching for a long time, he could only find some rumors about it. Moss learned that the underground city was an underground non-governmental organization from some bits and pieces of information he had gathered.

In it, one could do missions and exchange items with others. Other than that, Moss could not find any more detailed information. “I’ll have to go to the country library before the training camp next time.” He shook his head helplessly.

He was about to leave the library when some news appeared on the screen at the library entrance.

“Recently, there have been a few unusual occurrences of Magical Beasts in the city. They appeared unexpectedly at Black Dragon City and Python City’s junction. The beasts have killed five citizens, while two more have gone missing. The authorities still don’t know their whereabouts.

“Blood Moon Wolves have also appeared in Bucks County, killing three people and leaving ten more severely injured. The Vanguards of the EDC have taken care of the beasts.”

“Tsk!” Moss was angry. “The space is changing again, and it seems to be happening more frequently now!”

He frowned as a sense of urgency surged through his heart.

“The Vanguards of the EDC are a strong force!”

The news did not mention the first responders, meaning the Vanguards had completed their rescue mission before the first responders arrived.

Moss could not help but praise the Vanguards. He admired the EDC, or Magical Beast Emergency Defense Center, even more.
