As the bell tolled through the Dungeon Hall, a ripple of excitement surged among the crowd. They gathered around the light curtain, where the new record was about to be unveiled. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, the kind that precedes the revelation of a hero's deeds.
"Who could it be?" someone whispered, their voice barely audible over the collective murmur of the crowd.
The light curtain flickered, and then, clear as day, the new record emerged, glowing for all to see. A single name stood out, a beacon in the darkness, the architect of a new legend in the Dungeon Hall of Xia Jing Academy.
"Lin Moyu."
The crowd fell into a stunned silence, the name unfamiliar to many, yet it resonated with the weight of undeniable prowess. The record showed not just a new time but a remarkable feat – the mutated forest dungeon, nightmare difficulty, cleared in a mere 22 minutes and 47 seconds.
Whispers turned into exclantions of disbelief. "Just one person? Is that even possible?"
Shu Han, standing at the edge of the crowd, smiled knowingly. She had believed in Lin's capabilities, and now, the evidence of his strength was displayed for all to see.
The detail on the light curtain revealed more than just a record; it showed that Lin had ventured into the dungeon alone. No team, no backup, just him and his army of skeletons against the perils of the mutated forest.
"How did he do it?" The question echoed through the hall, a mix of awe and curiosity.
But the most startling part was the absence of any boss-level monster on the record until the very end, where the mention of a single mutated turtle stood, its level and fearsome attributes listed for all to see. Yet, against Lin, it had fallen, contributing to a record that would inspire and challenge for time to come.
As the initial shock subsided, admiration filled the air. Eyes searched for the figure behind the name, but Lin Moyu was nowhere to be found in the crowd. He had already left the dungeon, his task completed, leaving behind a story that would be told and retold in the halls of Xia Jing Academy.
The crowd dispersed slowly, the buzz of conversation growing once more, but now with a new focus. Lin Moyu, the silent challenger who had walked into the ancient forest and emerged a legend.
In the depths of the academy, where secrets and potentials intertwined, Lin's journey was just beginning. A path paved with challenges, mysteries, and the promise of destiny awaited him. And as for what lay ahead, only the fates knew, but one thing was certain – the name Lin Moyu would be remembered, a whisper in the wind, a shadow in the legends of Xia Jing Academy.
