Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up

Chapter 431 Decision To Enter The Ancient Ruins

Lu Yu heard the words "ancient ruins," pondered for a moment and instantly had an answer.

"Of course, I've heard of it. While training in the lower house, I joined the Research Department and restored a statue from an ancient ruin. A dragon statue."

Jiang Lengyue nodded slightly. "That's right; I'm talking about the same type of ancient ruins. The items the lower house is researching in the ancient ruins were all given out by us."

"The current situation is that an ancient ruin in the form of a secret realm is about to appear. This is a world-stage secret realm, and we can participate in it. The Lionheart Empire and the Stellaris Autonomous Region will also be participating."

"There's a rule that only young people under 24 can participate in this exploration of ancient ruins. The purpose is to nurture the young talents."

"We've suffered quite a loss this year, so the number of people we can send out is limited. Regardless, you'll definitely be on the list."

"So, do you want to go?"

"Of course, I want to." Lu Yu spoke without hesitation. "Ancient ruins are full of treasures. We'll be at a disadvantage if we don't go!"

"Okay, but you have to pay attention to one thing. This exploration party will be mixed with good and bad people. Anyone can appear, including people from the Truth Department."

"So, you have to be careful. Don't die in there!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry about that. Isn't there an age limit?"

Although Lu Yu wasn't yet 20 years old, he was confident he could defeat any 24-year-old opponent. He had only started cultivating a few years later, so how bad could he be?

"The age limit is there, and it's also just a rule that our three regions have agreed on. How can we be 100% sure that others will abide by it?"

Lu Yu nodded slightly. "That makes sense. Nonetheless, I will devise a solution to any problems that arise."

"Alright. Anyhow, the military is stationed at the edge of the ancient ruins. If you really encounter an enemy you can't deal with, just contact the military."

Lu Yu slowly heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good to hear that the military will support us nearby."

"Oh right, how many people can enter the ancient ruins?"

Jiang Lengyue shrugged. "There's no restriction. As long as you're below the age limit, you can enter."

"However, ancient ruins are hazardous. Don't even think about entering if one's strength is lower than gold rank."

"You should be at least platinum rank 5 or more now." Jiang Lengyue sized Lu Yu up and estimated.

"I haven't confirmed, so I'm not sure for now. But I'm sure I'm above gold rank."

"By the way, if I want to bring a few people in, can I?"

The people Lu Yu wanted to bring along were the members of the Featherwing Club. After all, this was a club that he had established. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to expand and grow his club, it would benefit Lu Yu.

Since there was no limit to the number of people who could enter, they would definitely be able to enter if everything went smoothly.

Besides, both Yun Zirou and Su Qing were gold-rank. Lin Kang probably wasn't there yet, but if they were allowed to enter the ruins to cultivate, their strength would increase considerably.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lengyue pondered for a moment.

She knew that Lu Yu would bring in a few people he could trust and friends he was close to.

"I understand you would feel more at ease having a few trustworthy people by your side in that kind of environment."

"But at the same time, they might also be a burden to you."

The three people listened to her advice earnestly.

"If the teammates I assign to you are people you don't know or people you don't have a deep relationship with, when you encounter danger, you can abandon them and escape on your own."

"But that's not necessarily the case for the people you're bringing. Do you understand?"

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed. This seemingly harmless girl in front of him was actually saying such cold words.

When the time came, could she abandon those not close to her?

"Since you've said so, I'm more determined to bring my people in."

"Alright, I have no right to interfere with your decision. After all, you're our hero now."

She revealed a faint smile that looked fake.

To her, once the upper house had suffered such a huge disaster, it was bound to cause panic, and many people would leave. The upper house's status in the academic world might be shaken.

She had to produce a hero that saved them, calming the people's hearts.

"Alright, I'll start the award ceremony as soon as possible. Go back and wait for my notice."

"Then we'll take our leave first."

With that, Lu Yu stood up and walked out of the office.

The three walked along the corridor and couldn't help but start discussing.

"Lu Yu, are you really going to bring others in? Who are you planning to bring in?"

Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and said, "I'm sure you'll be one of the people I'm going to bring."

"Hmph. Even if you didn't ask, I'd still follow you. That place is too dangerous!"

"Wang Meng, are you willing to go?"

Wang Meng immediately slammed his chest and said loudly, "That's a must. I will definitely follow in my brother's footsteps!"

"Okay, then there's... Yun Ziruo, Su Qing, and Lin Kang. Aside from the three of them, it doesn't appear that many people in our club are above gold rank."

Wang Meng pursed his lips and asked awkwardly, "Brother, can Yun Zirou and Su Qing really cut it? Most students who can enter this university don't have the guts to enter ancient ruins."

"I will just have to ask then. I believe they have the guts to do so."

Wang Meng sighed. "Bro, if you ask them, they'll definitely agree. After all, you're the one asking."

"I'm also trying to strengthen them..."

The three walked out of the building. Just as they stepped out, Lu Yu's phone rang.

He took it out, saw that it was from his aunt, and immediately picked it up.

"Lu Yu, how are you doing? I saw the news. Why did such a terrible thing happen on your side?"

"Aunty, I'm fine here. The problem is gone, so don't worry. I'll go back to see you when I have time."

"It's good that you're fine. I'm more at ease hearing you say you are fine personally..."

"Aunty, how's your dessert lesson going?"

"The master patissier here is teaching me diligently, and I'm learning quickly. I should be able to work in the military soon."

"Okay, when I have time, I must try your dessert..."

After a few exchanges between them, Lu Yu hung up the phone.

"Let's go back to the training camp."

Lu Yu didn't plan to stay idle and went back to continue his cultivation. The newly evolved Undead Dragon Claw had only experienced one actual battle.

He had to train more and quickly master his Undead Dragon Claw to use it better in the next battle.
