Professor Li's wrinkled old face turned red.

He looked at the blurry silhouette inside the container that once again extended a finger, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Add more?

"Is he even fucking human?!"

This was already the highest intensity this apparatus could achieve!

If they added any more, the apparatus would overload!

He had originally thought that this time he would definitely test where the limit of this SS-Level prodigy truly lay.

But now it seemed, it wasn't that the other person had a limit.

It was his own apparatus that had a limit!

Just as Professor Li was caught in a dilemma, Principal Chen on the side finally spoke.

He gently patted Professor Li's shoulder with a trace of a wry smile on his face.

"Professor Li, I think we should stop here for today."

"At this rate, within half a month, there won't be any problem raising Student Gandalf's Level to Level 40."

"To be safe, it's better not to continue taking risks."

Hearing this, Professor Li let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had found a way out of an awkward situation.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

"Principal Chen is right, indeed so."

"Too much is as bad as too little, too much is as bad as too little."

Just like that, this experience infusion that made the three big figures' hearts leap with fright finally came to an end.

When Gandalf completely absorbed the last trace of blue liquid inside the container.

His Level had successfully reached Level 36.

And he was less than half the experience points away from Level 37.

Rising two Levels in just a single day.

This Tempering Tower truly lived up to its reputation.

"Alright, let's stop here for today."

Principal Chen looked at Gandalf walking out of the container, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Next, you just need to come here and absorb it once a day."

Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf and nodded calmly.

He put on his clothes and politely bowed towards Professor Li and Chen Lanxin.

"Thank you, Professor Li, Professor Chen."

Then, accompanied by Principal Chen, he turned and left the laboratory.

Watching the retreating figures of the few, Professor Li's murky eyes once again burned with a fanatical flame.

He muttered to himself.

"Monster! This Gandalf is simply a monster!"

"I don't believe I can't test where your limit is!"

He suddenly turned his head to look at the young female professor beside him who had maintained her calmness all along.

"Professor Chen, could you please stay behind for some overtime work?"

"Let's raise the intensity of this apparatus a bit higher!"

Hearing this, Chen Lanxin nodded calmly.

"Alright, Professor Li."

Principal Chen led Gandalf out of the Tempering Tower.

He glanced at the sky and said with a smile.

"General Zhang and I still have some matters to deal with, so we won't accompany you."

As if remembering something, he added.

"Right, I've already given a heads-up to the Dungeon Tower."

"You can go check out the 20th floor and above. If you need anything, just speak up."

Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf to express his gratitude once again.

Prompted by Principal Chen like this, he really hadn't been above the 20th floor of the Dungeon Tower.

Right, taking advantage of having free time now, he could go see what good things were there.

Bidding farewell to Gandalf.

Chen Xuan and Zhang Donglai walked side by side on the shaded path behind the mountain, the atmosphere somewhat silent.

"What do you think about this Student Gandalf?"

In the end, Chen Xuan was the first to break the silence.

A hint of solemnity appeared on Zhang Donglai's sharply defined face.

He pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.

"I seem to... understand him less and less."

Chen Xuan nodded in considerable agreement.

"There must be some secret about him."

"Previously, I heard that on Triple Island, at Level 20, he frontally repelled the soul Avatar of Zuo Daolin from the Dawnbreaker Guild."

"Even though that wasn't Zuo Daolin's main body, it was still enough to shock me."

Zhang Donglai sighed.

"This is also the question I've always been puzzled by."

"However, now is not the time to delve deeply into these."

"Before the matter of the ruins is over, we can only turn a blind eye."

Meanwhile.

Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, had already taken the dedicated elevator to the 20th floor of the Dungeon Tower.

The moment the elevator door opened, a wave of heat rushed toward them.

Different from the orderly teleportation halls downstairs, this place looked more like a huge, bustling super shopping mall.

In the spacious and bright hall, rows of display cases crafted from special crystals were neatly arranged.

Inside the display cases, a dazzling array of materials, equipment, potions, and scrolls were available, exuding an enticing glow.

Beneath each item, an electronic light screen clearly marked the points required for exchange.

Students coming and going were endless; they gathered in groups of three to five in front of the display cases, pointing and bargaining over the items they fancied.

Zhou Huai glanced over roughly.

Discovering that although the things here were of decent quality, and even included Epic-grade ones.

However, they didn't hold much attraction for him.

Just as he was preparing to turn and leave to head to higher floors.

A voice filled with surprise and joy came from not far away.

"Yo! Isn't this the big shot!"

Zhou Huai looked over at the sound.

He saw a tall youth with an honest and simple face running towards him with a full face of smiles.

Zhou Huai had some impression of him.

Back at Imperial Capital Academy, when doing the 100-person team dungeon, this person was precisely the captain of that temporary team.

Seemingly named Wang Xicheng.

Wang Xicheng ran up to Gandalf in a few steps, his honest face brimming with over-familiar enthusiasm.

"Big shot! Long time no see! You've come to buy things too?"

He heavily patted Gandalf's shoulder, with the look of good buddies.

"I thought a Divine Being of your level would only bury your head in clearing dungeons every day and wouldn't be interested in these worldly possessions!"

Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf and responded calmly.

"Just came over to take a look around."

Hearing this, Wang Xicheng immediately patted his chest, making a 'thumping' sound, full of bold spirit.

"Saw something you like? Tell your younger brother!"

"Don't be polite, just take it! It's my treat today!"

Zhou Huai shook his head.

"There is nothing here that I need."

He paused and asked.

"Do you want better materials or equipment?"

"Of course I do!"

Wang Xicheng blurted out without even thinking.

"Big shot, the things on this 20th floor are all prepared for ordinary students like us."

"The real good stuff is all on the 23rd floor!"

"That place is the real treasure trove!"

Hearing this, a trace of interest flashed in Zhou Huai's eyes.

"Then take me to take a look."

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

Wang Xicheng readily agreed and led Gandalf straight towards the elevator leading to the higher floors.

Soon the two arrived at the entrance of the 23rd floor.

However, the moment they were about to step in, two guards dressed in black suits reached out and blocked them.

One of the guards said politely.

"Please show your points card."

The smile on Wang Xicheng's face instantly froze.

He slapped his forehead, an embarrassed expression appearing on his face.

"Aiya! Look at my memory! I forgot about this matter!"

He scratched his head and explained to Gandalf somewhat sheepishly.

"Big shot, this 23rd floor has an entry threshold."

"Only when the points in the points card exceed one million are you qualified to go in."

He took out his own points card, waved it in front of Gandalf, and smiled bitterly.

"In this card of mine, after working hard to save for over half a year, there's still less than one hundred thousand points, far from enough."

He looked at Gandalf and asked curiously.

"Big shot, you clear dungeons like drinking water, there should be quite a few points in your card, right?"

Although Gandalf had accumulated quite a few points during this period, there was still some gap from one million.

However, he remembered Principal Chen's words before leaving.

Thinking about it, there shouldn't be any problem.

He took out the black privileged points card from his bosom and handed it to the guard.

The guard took the card and turned around expressionlessly.

Inserting it into a precise verification apparatus beside him.

Immediately after.

That guard's body suddenly stiffened.

His whole person was like being cast with a body-immobilizing spell, stunned and motionless on the spot.

Then slowly, like a machine, turned his head.

His eyes were filled with shock and terror that could not be described with words.

Wang Xicheng on the side saw this and didn't quite understand why.

"Hey, brother, what's going on here?"

"Could it be that my big shot's points aren't enough?"

That guard did not answer him.

He only raised his slightly trembling hand and pointed at the small display screen on the verification apparatus.

Wang Xicheng curiously leaned over.

The next second.

His expression was identical to that guard's.

I saw that on that small display screen, a line of golden numbers was clearly displayed.

Points Balance: 999,999,999.
