Chapter 208 Speedrun Competition: Let's See Who's Faster
The arrival of the Flame Emperor Academy brought a strong atmosphere to the dungeon hall, its grandeur even surpassing that of the Genesis Academy.
Without hesitation, they headed straight for the "Vulcan Palace" instance and quickly immersed themselves in it.
"The Academy of Creation and the Academy of Flame are going to compete again."
"That's right, these two academies can only compete against each other in the dungeon for second place."
"This time, they'll probably compete to see who can finish the dungeon faster."
"No matter how much they compete, they can't beat Boss Jiang's record."
"The academy is controlled by the Dragon Academy, and in the dungeon, Boss Jiang is suppressing them. Their struggle is nothing more than a battle for the eternal second place."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Jiang Chen recalled the aura he had just sensed and discovered that among the auras of the many BOSS jewelry items, a special aura caught his attention.
This aura reminded him of fire elemental monsters, which are usually immune to fire elemental damage.
The BOSS jewelry seemed to have a similar effect, but he couldn't be sure.
He decided to find time to research information about BOSS jewelry, as he knew very little about it.
Hong Jishi did not seem to show any willingness to tell him.
Perhaps in the eyes of a god-level powerhouse like Hong Jishi, low-level BOSS jewelry is not worth mentioning at all, because their equipment requirements have reached another level.
At least, they would only be interested in mythical-level equipment. Jiang Chen rested for three hours without being disturbed.
His mental strength has been fully restored, and his physical strength has also recovered to about 70-80%.
The feeling of fatigue vanished instantly.
At this moment, Jiang Chen felt a difference of 200 points in all his attributes, which was the effect of taking the basic magic potion.
While a 200-point increase in attributes might not seem like much to professionals with tens of thousands of attributes, for Jiang Chen it was equivalent to a 40% increase in non-spiritual attributes.
The difference was obvious; his physique became stronger, and his recovery speed greatly improved.
He couldn't help but think of those knights with physiques of thousands or even tens of thousands, who could fight continuously for days and nights without feeling tired.
Every profession has its unique advantages, which he admires.
I got up and re-entered the dungeon. It was still the "Palace of Vulcan" dungeon, and still on Hell difficulty.
More than two hours have passed since the two top academies entered the instance, and they still haven't come out.
This result is already better than that of Baili Academy.
Both the teams from Genesis Academy and Yanhuang Academy share a common characteristic: they have abandoned the Prophet.
They all used a setup with a War King support and four healers.
In this way, there are actually five healers in the team.
Add a knight, and you have six damage dealers.
Combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.
If they can't even beat this, then they're really letting down their BOSS jewelry.
The skeletal armor gleamed, keeping all the flames at bay.
The dungeon was still incredibly hot, and the skeleton warriors were immediately surrounded by fire elementals as soon as they appeared.
Just two seconds later, his body burst into flames and he turned into a fire skull.
Jiang Chen continued to advance steadily using his previous strategy.
I've run this dungeon five times already, so I'm pretty familiar with it.
He already knew exactly what kind of monsters were in each location and how many there were.
Never let a monster escape; no matter where it's hiding, we'll find it.
Jiang Chen cleared dungeons incredibly fast, accumulating tons of experience and materials without missing a beat.
When he finished his sixth run, he came out of the dungeon.
I glanced up at the light screen on the instance without thinking.
The screen still only showed his own name. The teams from the two top academies were slower than expected.
At this point, more than three hours had passed since they entered the instance, exceeding Jiang Chen's expectations.
Jiang Chen looked at his name on the screen and suddenly had a mischievous idea.
"How about I go even faster?"
With this in mind, I chose Hell difficulty to enter the dungeon again.
As soon as we entered the instance, four skeleton warriors charged out.
Jiang Chen plans to do a speedrun.
He made changes in certain areas, creating a record that belongs only to him.
The skeleton warrior ran incredibly fast, crossing the bridge, passing the square, and disappearing into the cave in the blink of an eye.
This time, something strange didn't attract any attention, but Jiang Chen didn't care.
This time, speed is the priority, not quality. It's purely for fun.
After all, he was only an 18-year-old young man, and Jiang Chen was far from being as mature and taciturn as he appeared on the surface.
At this moment, in Hongshen's courtyard.
The three were admiring the scene inside the "Palace of Vulcan" instance.
As the keeper of the Dungeon Hall, Lin Zhenzi can check the situation in any dungeon.
He can even interfere.
In the scene, teams from Genesis Academy and Flame Emperor Academy are fighting against the gardeners of the Vulcan Palace.
And it's been going on for a while now.
It appears that both sides are making similar progress.
However, considering that Yanhuang Academy will enter the dungeon a little later, they are still in the lead.
The three of them watched as if they were watching a movie. "It seems that Yanhuang Academy is going to take the lead this time," Lin Zhenzi said.
He was right; all three of them could see that.
Hong Jishi sipped his tea: "That's normal. This time, the Flame Emperor Academy is led by the Holy Fire Knight. The Holy Fire Knight himself has extremely strong resistance to fire elements, and with the Firefly Ring, he is almost immune to fire damage."
"Didn't you see that the healers at Yanhuang Academy basically don't need to worry about the knights?"
The Holy Fire Knight is a mythical class, possessing a natural set of fire-related skills.
It inherently possesses strong damage reduction capabilities against fire elements, making it the perfect choice for tackling dungeons like "Vulcan's Palace" which deal significant fire damage.
Lin Zhenzi said, "Not only that, each of their damage dealers is equipped with an Ice Amulet, which adds water power to their attacks. Water and fire are mutually exclusive, and water power can enhance the damage against fire-type monsters." Based on their analysis, both of them were certain that Yanhuang Academy would win.
Li Xueru said calmly, "It's hard to say until the very last step. But it doesn't matter who wins or loses, anyway, no one can shake the old man's Dragon Academy."
"Jiang Chen's record in the dungeon is also behind theirs; they're still perennial runners-up."
The record of 1 hour and 12 minutes in the game is unprecedented and will likely remain so.
Li Xueru's calm words carried a hint of pity.
When Jiang Chen was mentioned, Lin Zhenzi's lips twitched slightly.
The scene before my eyes changed.
There's one more picture.
"That brat's in the dungeon again!" Hong Jishi laughed, then perked up when he saw Jiang Chen: "How many times has he run this dungeon?" Lin Zhenzi replied irritably, "The seventh time."
He saw Jiang Chen's next move: "This time it seems a little different."
Li Xueru peeked through the crack and glanced at the screen: "This time he's aiming for a speedrun; he's trying to completely crush the competition."
"I didn't realize that he usually seems so quiet, but he's actually up to no good. Old Hong, Jiang Chen is a bit like you when you were young."
Hong Jishi was very satisfied with Jiang Chen's actions, which were indeed somewhat similar to his own when he was young, except that he was more arrogant back then and not as restrained as Jiang Chen.
Hong Jishi's smile widened: "It's good to give them a blow, so they won't act so arrogant all the time. Let them know that there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."
"If Jiang Chen enters Genesis Academy in the future, he won't be bullied anymore."
Lin Zhenzi was taken aback: "You're planning to let him enter Genesis Academy?"
Normally, a top genius like Jiang Chen would definitely go to the Dragon Clan Academy.
Li Xueru was also a little puzzled, wondering why Hong Jishi said that.
After all, he had told Jiang Chen about some conditions for entering the Dragon Clan Academy before, and at the time everyone thought he would arrange for Jiang Chen to go to the Dragon Clan Academy.
However, Li Xueru thought about it for a moment and then understood why.
Hong Jishi argued confidently: "The old man already has students. He must have used up all those resources he had. If he runs out of resources, what would he send Jiang Chen there to do? Pick up what others don't want?"
“I know there are some good things in the Academy of Genesis, so of course I’m going there.”
Lin Zhenzi knew about Jiang Ruo's situation, and hearing Hong Jishi's words, he realized there was indeed a reason behind it. If all the resources were gone, what was the point of going to the Dragon Clan Academy?
Want to learn something? Won't Hung Kei-shek teach you?
Going there is all about those resources.
Lin Zhenzi began to consider where Lin Cai'er should go.
In the scene, Jiang Chen is moving at lightning speed, running at full speed behind the monster horde.
The skeleton warrior swiftly passed through the cave and ran to the palace entrance.
Ignoring the giant eye alarm, they rushed into the palace.
The monsters behind them also rushed into the palace.
Jiang Chen was the last to enter. By the time he ran out from the other end of the palace, the skeleton warrior had already run into the garden and was circling around it.
They were followed by all sorts of monsters, numbering over 200.
The gardener had already climbed out of the lava. Hong Jishi's eyebrows twitched twice: "This kid's really going big."
That's definitely a big game.
I ran from the dungeon entrance to here in less than half an hour.
Faster than ever before.
At that moment, fifty skeleton warriors appeared in unison, aiming at a fire lizard.
Skill: Slow Curse!
Under the red light, all the monsters slowed down.
The skeleton warriors also launched their attack at this moment.
The skill was unleashed, and the Flame Lizard was instantly killed.
Then came a series of explosions.
Fresh corpses, powerful explosion.
After more than thirty explosions, the garden was in ruins. The monster, including the palace gardener, was killed in the explosions.
Fifty skeletons dragged dozens of fresh palace guard corpses toward the final boss.
It's incredibly fast!
