Chapter 109: Breaking Records! Truly Terrifying!
[Congratulations on gaining 3 million experience points!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the A-grade material 'Catastrophe Mystic Crystal'!]
[Congratulations on acquiring the 'Catastrophe Dagger (Platinum Seven Star)'!]
[Congratulations on earning the title 'Zombie Killer'!]
[Due to breaking the historical best record for this dungeon, you receive the following additional rewards!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the S-grade Mage skill book 'Starfall Explosion'!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the A-grade Priest skill book 'Song of Life'!]
...
"This reward..."
Wang Chen furrowed his brows as he looked at the information panel.
The rewards for breaking the record in this Platinum Nine-Star dungeon weren't very satisfactory.
Especially the two skill books rewarded, they were of no use to Wang Chen.
But this was normal.
Sometimes, clearing a dungeon doesn't necessarily reward you with skill books or equipment suitable for your class.
"Forget it, I can sell them for credits..."
Wang Chen shook his head.
The only useful rewards this time were the experience, materials, and title.
The equipment and skill books could just be sold off.
[Zombie Killer (Title): Obtained after clearing 'Catastrophe Village', adds +10 to all attributes.]
A classic "mosquito leg" title.
And then...
The experience points were only 3 million, even less than the trial dungeon during the freshman competition.
This was, of course, because Wang Chen had triggered a hidden level at that time, gaining an additional experience bonus.
Wang Chen and Xiao Qing's levels increased from 50 to 52.
Wang Chen's attributes rose from 40,000 to 42,000.
Xiao Qing's attributes increased from 200,000 to 220,000.
It seemed that after reaching level 50, Xiao Qing gained a balanced 10,000 attributes per level up.
In contrast, as a human, Wang Chen could only gain a balanced 1,000 attributes per level.
This was the difference between a divine beast and a human.
However, Wang Chen wasn't worried.
As his level increased, the number of contracted pets would also increase. In this case, the attributes he could receive from his pets would also increase.
Moreover, he had already consumed the Demonic Divine Essence, which would grant him more attribute points per level up than other classes.
So he didn't need to worry about falling behind in attributes in the future.
Of course...
The most important thing now was to level up Xiao Zi.
With 3 million experience points divided among the three of them, each received 1 million.
Xiao Zi instantly leveled up from 2 to 20.
Her attributes increased from 500 to 10,000.
The growth was nothing short of astonishing!
"Great! Let's head to the next dungeon!"
Wang Chen didn't stop his steps.
He had to reach level 60 today!
Without any hesitation, he crushed a teleportation scroll and started moving towards the next dungeon.
...
...
Outside.
Seeing Wang Chen enter the dungeon without a moment's hesitation, the onlookers were still discussing.
"What was the record for 'Catastrophe Village' again?"
"Hmm..."
"I think it was 3 minutes and 21 seconds, held by a senior in her third year. She's now training on the Abyss Continent."
"How long has it been since Wang Chen went in?"
"It's been over four minutes now!"
"He hasn't come out yet, which means he probably didn't break the record."
"No luck this time..."
Seeing that Wang Chen hadn't broken the record, the students didn't have much of a reaction.
As expected, this Beast Tamer was still a bit behind the senior who was also the student council president.
But then, ten more minutes passed.
The crowd noticed that Wang Chen still hadn't come out of the dungeon, and their eyes started to look strange.
Something was wrong...
It's been so long; he should have come out by now, right?
Even the second-year girl at the front desk looked puzzled.
Could it be...
Did Wang Chen die in there!?
No way!
That guy was the top freshman!
And with that powerful Little Azure Python, there's no way he'd fail, right?
But...
What if?
After all, the dungeons here were quite challenging to solo.
There had been cases of students, even talented and highly ranked ones, dying in the secret dungeons due to carelessness.
The second-year girl quickly went to the main control room of the dungeon hall to ask the teacher inside.
The teacher was slightly stunned by her question and quickly checked the monitoring records of 'Catastrophe Village.'
However, upon checking, he was dumbfounded.
The data showed that Wang Chen had broken the record and cleared the 'Catastrophe Village' dungeon in 36 seconds!
"Don't worry! That kid not only isn't in danger, but he also cleared 'Catastrophe Village' in a terrifying 36 seconds."
"Now he's already cleared the 'Cursed Temple' dungeon. He just got lucky and triggered a hidden level, so he hasn't come out yet."
"These three dungeons should at least get him to level 60."
"If it weren't for the Beast Tamer class, any other combat class would probably reach at least level 75."
"But there's nothing you can do; the Beast Tamer class is special because the experience points are shared with the pets..."
The teacher in charge of the control room smiled and explained.
So that's how it was...
The second-year girl let out a sigh of relief.
She thought the top freshman had died in the dungeon!
But she hadn't expected him to clear them consecutively!
Without any rest!
Doesn't he need to recover?
Even other provincial champions would rest and recover their mana after soloing a dungeon.
Otherwise, they'd have trouble with the next dungeon if they ran out of mana.
Yet this guy didn't need any rest and was breaking records one after another!
Truly terrifying!
...
...
Inside the dungeon.
Wang Chen had already cleared three dungeons.
Xiao Qing crushed everything in her path.
The second dungeon, the 'Magma Wasteland,' had a boss, a colossal Magma Earthworm.
It lived in volcanic magma.
This boss had a tricky trait.
After reaching half health, it would retreat into the magma, and after a dozen seconds, it would come out fully healed.
The problem was that many challengers had no good way to deal with this Magma Earthworm boss.
After all, who would dare to fight this boss in the scorching magma?
They could only watch as it retreated and healed.
However, the boss probably never expected...
Its tactic of retreating to heal was useless against Xiao Qing.
Others feared the magma and dared not venture in, but Xiao Qing wasn't afraid.
The World-Destroying Azure Dragon's divine beast body was impervious to fire and water.
The magma that seemed capable of melting anything didn't harm Xiao Qing at all.
