Epic Transformation: The Dragon Master Who Defies the Divine

Chapter 37: Environmental Debuff! No Wonder It Was Set by King Yan

"Hmm? Why did the little princess of the Su family team up with Qin Fan?"

At this moment.

Many teachers finally saw one of the screens on the huge floor-to-ceiling monitor, where the registered team information showed: Qin Fan and Su Rou.

This undoubtedly shocked the principals and teachers.

"That Qin Fan... isn't he the student from No. 1 High School who transferred to a Dragon Tamer? Not only did he not give up the college entrance exam, but he also teamed up with Su Rou?"

"Ridiculous! Teaming up with a Dragon Tamer without a dragon for a dungeon, isn't this treating the college entrance exam as a joke?"

"Does Su Rou's father know his daughter is acting so recklessly?"

"If he knew, he might spit out blood!"

"Old Luo, what's going on? Su Rou is the best among all the priest candidates, yet you let her team up with a Dragon Tamer!"

"Damn! And this kid even chose Hell-level difficulty!"

"......"

Indeed.

Principals from various high schools started blaming the principal of No. 1 High School.

Principal Luo Yang of No. 1 High School was also dumbfounded.

He looked sternly at Qin Fan's homeroom teacher, Zhao Li.

Zhao Li was also taken aback.

He never expected the most famous princess of the Su family in his class to choose to team up with Qin Fan!

Everyone knew that a Dragon Tamer without a dragon was essentially useless.

Zhao Li felt like crying but had no tears.

"Alright! What's wrong with you principals and teachers? Do you all belittle students like this?"

At this moment, Liu Bin couldn't stand it anymore.

"Director Liu, you may not know, but Qin Fan transferred to a Dragon Tamer. Although it's a hidden class, you know that without a dragon, this class is no different from an ordinary person!"

At this moment, Principal Fang Datong of No. 3 High School spoke with an awkward smile.

Hearing this.

Even Liu Bin fell silent.

A Dragon Tamer!

It was a truly frustrating class!

As everyone knew.

Dragons stood at the pinnacle of all beast-like creatures!

Extremely powerful, even an adult dragon's strength was comparable to two fourth-tier powerhouses!

If it were a top-tier holy dragon...

As an adult, its strength could take down four fourth-tier powerhouses!

No way around it!

Dragons were just that strong and unreasonable!

And because of this...

Even the weakest ground dragons were incredibly proud.

They wouldn't easily make contracts with humans.

A Dragon Tamer was different from a Beast Tamer; they could only make contracts with the purest and most powerful dragons!

But the problem was...

Would those immensely powerful top-tier dragons be willing to make contracts and become a human's dragon pet?

Definitely not.

At this point.

Even Liu Bin sighed inwardly.

Su Rou...

Didn't think it through enough.

Why team up with a Dragon Tamer...

If she had teamed up with Tian Jinming, Hou Yibo, and others, she would have had a chance to enter the provincial top hundred. Su Rou's support abilities were impressive.

Tian Jinming, Hou Yibo, and other prodigies weren't fools; they wouldn't team up with Su Rou just because she was beautiful. They valued her support abilities, far superior to other priest candidates.

"Alright, since this is Su Rou's choice, we must respect it!"

"As teachers, we should understand our students more and wait for the results!"

Liu Bin finally spoke.

The other principals and teachers fell silent.

But their looks at Luo Yang were filled with disappointment, as if blaming him for leading such an excellent priest like Su Rou astray, thinking she might have to retake the exam next year.

......

......

[Your team has successfully entered the secret realm 'Underground Tomb Maze'!]

[Team selected difficulty: Hell-level.]

[A return scroll has been placed in your internal space. Use it in case of danger!]

The so-called 'internal space' is the game inventory.

As everyone knows.

In every game, characters have their own inventory to store materials, items, equipment, money, etc.

Now that the game and reality have merged, the 'internal space' refers to the game inventory.

Qin Fan currently had only five slots in his internal space.

While Su Rou had opened dozens of slots.

This was the difference between a poor boy and a rich girl.

Su Rou probably got many 'space expansion scrolls' from her family, allowing her to open so many slots in her internal space.

As the brief dizziness passed.

Qin Fan and Su Rou opened their eyes to see an enormous tomb.

A dark passage leading underground quietly appeared before them, like the mouth of an abyss, silently waiting for their entry.

"Roar!!"

A hoarse and unpleasant monster roar echoed, seemingly warning Qin Fan and Su Rou.

Humans, if you dare to trespass the tomb, you will only find death!

Hell-level difficulty of the Underground Tomb Maze!

Even prodigies like Tian Jinming and Hou Yibo, who wanted to solo it, wouldn't dare to choose this difficulty.

At most, they would choose Hard difficulty!

Only in a team would they dare to venture into this difficulty!

Looking at the dark underground passage ahead, Su Rou tightened her grip on her staff and gently raised it.

Buzz!!

'Illumination!'

A bright light glowed at the head of the staff.

"Let's go."

Qin Fan led the way.

Su Rou quickly followed.

Hmm?

As soon as they entered the underground passage, a foul stench hit them, making Su Rou almost gag.

The smell was like completely rotten flesh.

No need to look to know that the guardian monsters inside must be undead zombies!

And...

What made Su Rou's face change was that as soon as she stepped into this passage, an indescribable pressure weighed on her shoulders.

After carefully sensing it, she realized her overall attributes had been reduced by 30%!

Even her perception and movements were much slower!

"The environmental debuff effect of this Hell-level difficulty is indeed formidable!"

"It reduces the challenger's overall attributes by 30%!"

Qin Fan couldn't help but sigh.

Environmental debuff effect.

A mechanism present in many secret realm dungeons.

It reduces certain attributes of the challengers when they enter the secret realm.

For example, strength, wisdom, perception, etc.

But this one reduced overall attributes by 30%, making Qin Fan sigh in awe.

No wonder examinees wailed upon hearing King Yan was the examiner.

Who could withstand such an unreasonable environmental debuff effect?

If guessed correctly...

Normal difficulty reduces overall attributes by 10%.

Hard difficulty reduces overall attributes by 20%.

Hell difficulty reduces overall attributes by 30%.

Only King Yan would set up such a maddening challenge.
