Pov: Vik
I am leaving the dungeon. I had planned many adventures for the dungeon party. I hoped to keep the party going for several hours. However, when my disciples saw me dressed as Mickey Mouse, they just laughed. Lina even felt pain in her stomach from laughing so hard but couldn't stop. The system even started ignoring me, stating it didn't want to be associated with someone like me.
Facing so much resistance from the system, I chose to change my outfit. After switching to a simple white suit, I took my disciples on a roller coaster ride and some other attractions in the Disney park I created. Yet, my disciples continued to laugh from time to time at the funny mascots in the park.
In the end, our dungeon party turned out to be a great success. After partying for a while, my disciples and I exited the dungeon. Once outside, I took a deep breath of fresh air as I looked at the beautiful wilderness. I felt a bit happy knowing my disciples gained another level of combat experience. Lina, in particular, now had a solid foundation. She could break into the next major cultivation realm at any moment.
However, it would be best to return to the Anonymous Hall before attempting any breakthroughs. That place has top-class facilities and a high concentration of spiritual energy. I also had my reasons for entering the dungeon. I need to grow stronger since my cultivation regressed due to low-level Prana energy. I wanted to explore and find a place for experiments and research on Prana energy, other than a dungeon.
So, I conducted an experiment on the Goblins, specifically using my Prana energy to flow from my body into another, with the goal of strengthening them. My best subject was the Goblin King. I tried to fill his body with strands of Prana energy to see if his cultivation would regress like mine. However, nothing happened. It was as if I were pouring water into a bucket without a bottom. Every time I tried to inject Prana energy, it scattered into the environment.
I know that Prana energy exists in every living being, but having it and controlling it are two different things. I conducted more experiments on the Goblins and found something interesting. Despite not being able to feel or use Prana energy, the Goblin King underwent some changes. I only realized it after he survived Roman's last attack. If he had been the Goblin King from before, he would have died in seconds. But somehow, he deflected Roman's punch with his spear, giving him a chance to survive. In that moment, I realized that Prana energy not only grants strength but also forces beings to push beyond their current limits. It is almost like a form of evolution on an individual level.
Satisfied with my findings, I checked my status and that of my disciples. The system displayed our statuses.

Confirming everyone's progress, I opened a spatial portal to Azure City. Creating a spatial portal became difficult after my cultivation regressed, but I managed it somehow. Soon, both my disciples and I were back in the city, specifically in front of my manor. Just as I was about to enter, I received a notification on my system watch from Louriel. She sent me an urgent request to see her.
I asked my disciples to go inside while I teleported with Pushpa to Louriel's headquarters, the Horizon Guild building. As soon as I entered, several people started staring at me. Some even took my pictures. I could hear someone calling the police. Before I could say anything, a person in a black robe appeared and teleported me away. I didn't struggle because I recognized him as Winston.
I found myself back at the top level of Louriel's penthouse. Louriel sat on her usual throne. I asked her why she called me so suddenly. She smiled and said, "Vik, it's better for you to hide for a while."
Confused, I asked, "Why? Why do I need to hide?"
She giggled without answering but handed me a poster from her table. I opened it out of curiosity, and my eyes widened in shock at what I saw.
At the top of the poster was my picture, taken from a distance. It showed me holding a Browning machine gun and killing Lin Chen's men during that time when my disciples and I tried to stop Lin Chen at Azure Mountains. Below the picture, bold red words read:
WANTED!!!

After reading the entire poster, I realized that someone had intentionally targeted me, attributing all the crimes committed by Lin Chen's family and the dragon Gullnor to my name.
