Chapter 209 Stop speedrunning, it's addictive!
In the dungeon hall, the bells rang once more.
The trainees were already used to it.
"Needless to say, it's Jiang Chen again."
"The Vulcan Palace dungeon is sure to set a new record. Which of you should go check it out?"
"Seeing how many times he's done it, he's getting more and more skilled and faster. Maybe he can finish in less than an hour."
As the bell rang, some people stood up and decided to go inside to take a look.
However, he went inside and didn't reappear for a long time. People began to find it strange.
"What's wrong with him? Why isn't he coming out?" "I don't know, isn't he Boss Jiang?"
"I gonna go see."
Then, another person went into the dungeon hall, but also did not come out.
This caused even greater confusion among the students outside, who had no idea what was happening inside the instance.
A group of people then decided to go in and take a look.
At the entrance of the "Vulcan Palace" instance, a row of "wooden stakes" suddenly appeared, much to everyone's surprise.
Time: 38 minutes and 38 seconds.
Some people were stunned, some stared wide-eyed; everyone was incredulous.
"The timing was deliberately timed, wasn't it?"
"Is this...is this really a hellish difficulty dungeon?"
"Even the normal difficulty level isn't this fast."
"I've been to the 'Palace of Vulcan.' Although the instance isn't large, it still takes about half an hour just to explore it from beginning to end."
"Could it be that Boss Jiang actually went through the whole process from beginning to end?"
Everyone found it hard to believe how Jiang Chen had completed this dungeon.
Suddenly, a faint spatial fluctuation appeared outside the instance, and Jiang Chen appeared outside.
He ignored people's reactions and quickly re-entered the instance.
He found that this method of quickly clearing dungeons was more efficient. Although the experience gained was less than clearing all dungeons, the main experience gain was still retained, at least about 80% of the experience gained from clearing all dungeons.
The speed, however, increased by nearly double.
Gain 80% of the experience in half the time.
Anyone can do the math. The only problem is that it's tiring because you have to keep running.
Jiang Chen decided to continue using the speed-leveling method to upgrade, as it was significantly more efficient.
The dungeon hall left a group of students with their jaws practically dropping to the ground.
In Hongshen's courtyard.
Lin Zhenzi and Hong Jishi also had their lips twitching involuntarily.
Although Li Xueru didn't say anything, his constantly twitching eyebrows proved that he was not at peace.
In the two images, Genesis Academy and Flame Emperor Academy are battling a lava giant.
It seems this battle won't end anytime soon.
Jiang Chen has already started a new round of speed runs.
Hong Jishi muttered, "This kid isn't satisfied with showing off outside, he still wants to show off back at university. Can't he be a little more low-key?"
Lin Zhenzi glared at him, annoyed, and said, "You were much more high-profile when you were young. You wanted the whole world to know what you did."
Li Xueru said, "This record... no one can break it."
Hong Jishi slapped his thigh, looking smug: "Of course! Don't they know whose students they are? Those two kids from the academy will probably be crying when they come out!"
"But it's good that they've suffered a setback; it'll teach them to behave better in the future."
Lin Zhenzi narrowed his eyes: "Judging from his skill damage, the attack power seems to be determined based on the corpse."
The god-level expert had a sharp eye and quickly saw the source of Jiang Chen's skill.
Hong Jishi nodded: "Indeed, and fresh corpses are the best option. Once a corpse has been dead for a long time, its life force is lost, and it becomes useless."
"And monsters like elemental spirits, which don't leave behind corpses, are useless."
Lin Zhenzi said in a deep voice, "Then when he reaches level 30, he can go to the level 35 Goblin Legion dungeon. There are many monsters there, and they are all dead, so the experience is pretty good."
Lin Zhenzi was very familiar with all the dungeons in the Dungeon Hall.
It couldn't be clearer.
Li Xueru chuckled: "Old Hong has already made arrangements."
Lin Zhenzi looked at Hong Jishi: "You're not planning to let him level up at university?"
Hong Jishi laughed and said, "Universities are like greenhouses; the flowers grown there are too fragile."
"So, what are you planning to do..." Lin Zhenzi suddenly thought of something: "You're planning to go to that place?"
Hong Jishi nodded.
Lin Zhenzi's expression changed drastically: "Are you crazy? You yourself only went there after your second job advancement, and this brat is only level 30. You want to throw him over there?"
Hong Jishi bluntly stated, "He's already stronger than most level 40 advanced professionals, so why can't he go?"
"Besides, it's none of your business how I teach my students, old man Lin."
Lin Zhenzi was so angry that he blew his beard: "Fine, I don't care, and I'm too lazy to care. Anyway, the brat won't really die. Even if he dies once to make him realize reality, it's not a bad thing."
Hong Jishi snorted: "Don't worry, my student won't die!"
Jiang Chen continued his speedrunning spree.
With the experience from last time, it was even faster this time.
All the monsters were dragged to the palace gardener in one go and bombed indiscriminately.
Then he dragged the corpse towards the lava giant. Another round of indiscriminate bombing ensued.
The operation, which seems to require no technical skill, has surprisingly good results.
The bells of the dungeon still toll.
The person who was just surprised has now come to their senses.
Their nerves have become extremely strong after repeated stimulation.
I'm immune to the sound of bells.
Even if I see something amazing, I won't find it strange.
A new record has been set in the "Vulcan Palace" dungeon.
36 minutes 58 seconds.
It's more than a minute faster than before.
Jiang Chen didn't waste a second after exiting the instance and immediately re-entered it.
He only flashed briefly in the dungeon's main hall; if you didn't look closely, you'd think you were hallucinating. Speedrunning should be done quickly, don't waste time.
Finally, a large number of people emerged from the instance.
The rivals, Genesis Academy and Flame Emperor Academy, were locked in a fierce battle of wits, their two leaders glaring at each other.
The knight leading the team from Yanhuang Academy was named Zhang Chen.
He was wearing top-tier gold-level equipment, including a necklace, earrings, and ring—all BOSS-grade pieces of jewelry.
The Goblin King's ring glittered on his finger.
He was in a good mood and smiled at the people from Genesis Academy, saying, "We went in two minutes later than you, but we came out together. We won this round."
The people from the Genesis Academy showed no reaction upon hearing this.
This puzzled Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen continued, "He Zhengyi, don't you want to admit it?"
He Zhengyi, as the leader of the Genesis Academy, knows Zhang Chen, but they don't get along.
The two have been rivals for many years.
He Zhengyi smiled faintly: "I'm not denying it, it's just that although we entered the instance, we spent quite a bit of time in the safe zone."
"I knew you were coming, so I'm giving you a little surprise. I wonder if Zhang Chen will like it."
Now it was Zhang Chen's turn and his expression changed.
I never expected He Zhengyi to pull this stunt.
The timer only starts when you leave the safe zone in the instance.
Being calculated.
Zhang Chen snorted coldly: "Then let's look at the records and see who's ahead of us."
"Of course we'll have to see the record. Once it's out, you won't be able to deny it even if you want to." He Zhengyi was extremely confident in himself, his face calm and self-assured. The two looked up at the light screen.
Then their expressions froze simultaneously, as if they had been frozen in place.
His teammates, puzzled, also looked up.
Then they all fell into a daze.
"Jiang Chen, Level 28, 36 minutes and 58 seconds"
Jiang Chen's name shines brightly.
The results almost blinded them.
They worked themselves to the bone, and were exhausted.
The person finished it in 36 minutes and 58 seconds, and it was done by one person, and at level 28.
Looking at my group of friends, they're all at least level 35.
The entire body is equipped with top-tier gold gear and BOSS jewelry; it's as luxurious as you can imagine.
And the result... their results are out.
Genesis Academy: 4 hours 33 minutes 26 seconds.
Yanhuang Academy: 4 hours, 33 minutes, and 29 seconds.
The difference was only 3 seconds.
Genesis Academy narrowly won.
Originally, Genesis Academy should have been happy, and He Zhengyi should have been happy.
But after seeing Jiang Chen's results, he couldn't feel happy at all.
He had certainly heard of Jiang Chen's name; it had spread throughout the world in the past few days.
Professional Tournament: Team champion in the 20th grade group, and double champion in the individual competition.
In the challenge, there are five rounds of straight matches.
One person defeated a team of six level 50 mages. This is an achievement that other professionals wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Even though they are students of the Genesis Academy, and even though they all consider themselves top geniuses, they pale in comparison to Jiang Chen.
The gap is just too big.
This is no longer something that can be compensated for by increasing manpower; the gap has completely arisen from the root cause.
Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only keep it to themselves.
Perhaps, in the future, there will be a chance to make a comeback.
But not now.
I just didn't expect the gap to be this big.
More than 4 hours and 38 minutes.
12 people and 1 person.
He Zhengyi and Zhang Chen felt a burning pain on their faces.
Not just the two of them, but all their teammates, every single genius from Genesis Academy and Flame Emperor Academy, felt ashamed. They thought they were utterly worthless geniuses.
A team can't compare to one person.
And this person is almost 10 grades below me.
The joy of victory vanished completely, leaving only a stinging embarrassment.
The fact that someone was spying on them outside the dungeon hall made them feel even more uneasy.
He Zhengyi waved his hand: "Let's go!"
Zhang Chen waved his hand weakly, "Back to the academy."
They arrived full of confidence and high spirits, and now they are so disappointed...
