Chapter 568 At rocket speed, taking Qiao Zhixin through dungeons.

Antares's voice was deep and muffled, as if it came from a deep cave: "The person has already left, and you're still here crying and wailing. I really don't understand you humans. You have such short lifespans, yet you still have to bear so many complicated emotions."

Jiang Ruo raised her head and looked at Antares with a hint of awe in her eyes. She bowed slightly and asked, "Lord Antares, could you please tell me where my teacher has gone?"

Antares shook his head, his voice firm, "No."

His answer was merciless, causing a flicker of disappointment to cross Jiang Ruo's eyes. She knew that she couldn't force Antares to reveal any information. However, Jiang Ruo didn't give up. She took a deep breath and stared directly at Antares with her bright eyes. Her eyes glistened with moisture as she gazed at him silently.

Antares was also drawn to Jiang Ruo's gaze. He blinked, only to find that Jiang Ruo was still stubbornly staring at him. After just ten seconds, Antares gave in.

He sighed, his voice tinged with helplessness, "Alright, alright, I really can't stand you two siblings. I'll tell you, but you need to understand that I'm doing this entirely for Jiang Chen's sake, and it has nothing to do with your teacher."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo smiled with delight and quickly said, "Thank you, sir."

Antares snorted.

"And I'll only say this once. Whether you understand or not is up to you." Antares's voice echoed in Jiang Ruo's ears, carrying an undeniable air of authority. "Simply put, this world is like a giant cage. There used to be a passage to the outside world, but it's now sealed off." Antares continued, "Breaking out of this cage has become extremely difficult. However, someone has found a loophole. If one could escape through this loophole…"

“Your teacher is currently trying to exploit this loophole.” Antares paused, observing Jiang Ruo’s reaction.

Jiang Ruo frowned, seemingly trying to understand Antares's words. "Is this vulnerability very dangerous?"

“As I said before, it’s a nine-out-of-ten chance of death,” Antares said casually. “But it’s not entirely hopeless. If he succeeds, he will gain unprecedented freedom.”

Jiang Ruo wanted to press for more information, but Antares interrupted her, saying, "You're not as smart as your brother. If he were here, he wouldn't keep asking."

“Of course, if you really want to know more, then come and make a deal with me.” Antares’s voice held a tempting tone. “Complete my task, bring me what I need, and you will get the answers you seek.”

Jiang Ruo asked without hesitation, "What do you need?"

Antares chuckled dismissively. "You're not qualified yet. We'll talk about this deal when you reach the level of a near-god.

Jiang Ruo was jolted awake by those words. She realized that she was indeed not strong enough, and her previous panic and worry had made her lose her composure. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

“It seems that in Lord Antares’s eyes, Jiang Chen is indeed more outstanding than me,” Jiang Ruo said.

“Indeed, he is one of the most outstanding people I have ever met,” Antares praised without reservation. “It is because of him that I gave you the opportunity to speak with me.”

“Now, our conversation is over. You can go back.” Antares’s voice gradually faded.

Jiang Ruo felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and then a powerful force propelled her into a spacetime tunnel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the human world.

The familiar aura enveloped her, bringing her a sense of security. However, when she thought of Antares's unfathomable strength, a feeling of awe welled up within her.

In her spiritual realm, she could sense Antares's will quietly dormant. The fact that even a mere wisp of will could protect her gave Jiang Ruo a deeper understanding of Antares's power.

From Antares's words, Jiang Ruo realized that there seemed to be some connection between it and Jiang Chen. Moreover, in Antares's eyes, Jiang Chen's status was clearly different from others.

Thinking of her younger brother, a gentle light flashed in Jiang Ruo's eyes. "Xiao Chen, you are truly remarkable. Your sister will definitely work hard to cultivate and protect you," she said firmly.

"Teacher, I believe you will overcome this difficulty, and we will surely meet again in the future." Jiang Ruo whispered, burying the sorrow of Fan Huang's departure deep in her heart, and picking herself up to be the older sister again. For Jiang Chen, for Fan Huang, she was determined to become stronger. Her extraordinary talent destined her to rise rapidly and become an invincible powerhouse.

She vowed to grow faster than anyone else and become Jiang Chen's strongest support.

...

Jiang Chen repeatedly pushed his limits in the dungeon. He went from level 60 to 61 in just half a day, a speed that was astonishing.

After reaching level 61, the number of skeletons in his summoned undead army reached an astonishing 52890, exceeding the limit of 50. So, he naturally used these 50000 skeletons to summon the Skeleton King.

This Skeleton King, formed from 5 skeletons, boasts a single attribute of 230 million and a total attribute of an astonishing 920 million. Its power is nearly godlike, enough to rival a level 89 world boss, and even capable of fighting a pseudo-god. However, despite its immense power, the Skeleton King is still a step below true godhood. Jiang Chen discovered that as the number of skeletons increased, the attribute enhancement did not follow the expected proportion. It seemed a mysterious force was limiting the Skeleton King's further attribute growth.

Despite the Skeleton King's formidable power, his monster-killing efficiency in dungeons hasn't improved. Both the previous Skeleton King and the current Skeleton King, formed from 50 skeletons, can instantly kill monsters with a single strike.

Jiang Chen also tried summoning two Skeleton Kings using combinations of 20 and 30 skeletons, but the results were not ideal. These two Skeleton Kings sometimes couldn't kill monsters instantly, so the efficiency wasn't significantly improved.

Jiang Chen maintained his pace of running a dungeon every 25 minutes. After reaching level 61, the experience requirement increased again, and each run only yielded about 3.6% experience gain. Despite this, he was still able to level up in half a day.

Jiang Chen clearly realized that the period from level 60 to 65 would be the fastest phase of his leveling. Once he passed level 65, the leveling speed would decrease significantly.

However, even at a slower pace, it is still far beyond what ordinary professionals can achieve.

Even if others give it their all, it takes them a year to advance one level, and if they don't work hard enough, it might take two years.

However, Jiang Chen may only need a few days to advance to the next level.

Such speed was beyond the reach of others, and Jiang Chen was naturally satisfied.

He worked tirelessly, wielding eight high-level cooling amulets, repeatedly cooling down dungeons and gaining experience time and time again.

The professionals outside the instance were already dumbfounded. For several days in a row, they had witnessed firsthand what true speed was.

They witnessed Jiang Chen's level soar from 60, streaking across the sky like a shooting star, reaching level 65 in just over four days. Only then did the leveling speed begin to slow down.

Four days later, Jiang Chen's level had firmly reached level 66.

If you do the math, Jiang Chen only took nine days to go from level 60 to level 66.

Such speed, in the eyes of others, is already beyond miracles.

At this point, no one dared to question or doubt anymore.

Jiang Chen's incredible leveling up in the middle section of the Heavenly Mountain Divine Palace dungeon has spread throughout the entire human world.

Although some people don't believe it, it doesn't matter anymore.

At least here, thousands of people witnessed it all.

In the past few days, no team has dared to enter this instance.

Everyone gathered here, just to witness Jiang Chen's incredible feat of clearing the dungeon single-handedly.

After reaching level 66, Jiang Chen looked at the remaining cooldown amulets in his hand and realized he could run the dungeon 120 more times.

"After level 66, the experience required to level up is less than 0.8%, and the remaining attempts are not enough for me to reach level 67," Jiang Chen calculated in his mind.

"It's been ten days already, the teacher should have finished setting things up by now."

“We can’t keep feeding spirit-eating beasts like this without any restrictions, or the situation might get out of control.”

"Let's use up the remaining attempts and then go back," Jiang Chen decided.

His gaze shifted to the Blue Leaf Guild's headquarters not far away, where a pair of bright eyes were constantly watching him.

For the past ten days, Qiao Zhixin has been almost inseparable from Jiang Chen. Every time Jiang Chen comes out of the dungeon, even if it's only for a few seconds, she can quickly spot him. Jiang Chen can feel the burning passion and anticipation in her eyes.

He waved to Qiao Zhixin, and the next second, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him.

"Jiang Chen!" Qiao Zhixin called out sweetly, her smile as warm and innocent as the rising sun.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "I'll take you through the dungeons, but it might be a bit boring and tiring."

Qiao Zhixin quickly shook her head, "No, I don't find it boring, and I'm not afraid of getting tired."

"Let's begin then." Jiang Chen handed Qiao Zhixin a high-level cooling talisman, and the two stepped into the dungeon together.
