Chapter 427

Behind him, the monsters were still over four hundred meters away.

Four minutes ten seconds!

Two groups of monsters began to converge.

Luo Chenyu smiled faintly; the timing matched the optimal strategy exactly.

Since the optimal strategy was published, no one had ever completed it.

Now…

He would be the one to shatter this myth!

Divine Artifact Skill, 【Sky-Holder】!!

At the same time.

【Steel Shield True Form】 also exploded!!

Amidst the terrifying explosion, all monsters perished; not a single one survived the furious skill.

At that moment.

"Luck's arrived!!"

Luo Chenyu's gaze suddenly sharpened—he spotted a pure white crystal at the location of the final boss, the very item said to be required to summon the hidden boss.

Leap!

His figure instantly appeared beside the white crystal, and he seized it without hesitation.

Use!

As the white crystal shattered, a prompt instantly appeared before Luo Chenyu's eyes.

"Ding, you successfully used 【Ice Trace Crystal】. The hidden boss will arrive on the battlefield in 30 seconds. Note: The hidden boss will not affect the speedrun leaderboard!"

"Phew!!"

Luo Chenyu suddenly exhaled in relief—he truly hadn't known this.

During the thirty-second countdown, he'd been startled, thinking this speedrun might fail.

It seemed he'd overthought it.

"But… this drop is really pathetic!"

While waiting, he checked the Dropped Items—aside from some dungeon-exclusive gear, nothing else caught his eye.

And…

The experience points from the dungeon monsters were also much lower than outside.

He'd have to wait for the final reward calculation.

The thirty seconds passed quickly.

As endless snowflakes fell, a monster composed entirely of ice crystals appeared in Luo Chenyu's vision.

This was the hidden boss of 【Ice Crystal Land】.

Ice Trace Warden!

For these ordinary dungeons… hmm, even the highest-level Abyss difficulty was still just an ordinary dungeon to Luo Chenyu.

No matter how strong the monsters inside, they couldn't withstand his furious attacks.

Simply the combined damage of 【Barbaric Charge】 and 【Dragon Demon Slash】 obliterated the hidden boss, 【Ice Trace Warden】.

Leaving behind a pile of ice shards.

But after Luo Chenyu automatically collected the drops,

a series of prompts appeared in his vision.

"Ding, dungeon settlement in progress!!"

"Ding, settlement successful. Completed the 90-level dungeon 【Ice Crystal Land】 Abyss difficulty in 4 minutes 17 seconds. Final evaluation rank upgraded!"

"Ding, you have become #1 on the 90-level dungeon 【Ice Crystal Land】 speedrun leaderboard. Please set your display name!"

"Ding, you successfully defeated the 90-level dungeon 【Ice Crystal Land】 Abyss difficulty hidden boss, 【Ice Trace Warden】. Final evaluation rank upgraded!"

"Ding, you used fewer than five skills in this dungeon. Final evaluation rank upgraded!"

"Ding, congratulations! You've earned the special dungeon 【Sea God Labyrinth】 SSSS rating. Final reward increased tenfold. Bonus SSSS rating gift +1 received!"

"Ding, exit the dungeon immediately?"

After setting his display name to "Barbaric Bear," Luo Chenyu immediately exited the dungeon space. The moment he appeared at the dungeon entrance, he used 【Leap】 and vanished from the spot, heading to the next dungeon.

So fast.

Hard to react to.

………………

Shortly after Luo Chenyu departed,

A bored adventurer opened the dungeon panel and suddenly froze, his gaze locked on the speedrun leaderboard beside it.

"Holy shit!!"

The adventurer blurted: "Barbaric Bear—that's Luo Shen's title in the Barbaric God Legion! He actually… became #1 on the leaderboard? 4 minutes 17 seconds? That's three seconds faster than the theoretical best!"

At these words,

all nearby adventurers froze.

"No way… did that older brother just see Luo Shen?"

"Gah! Barbaric Bear—definitely Luo Shen. In the Eastern Sea region, who else would dare use that title? Rumor has it the Barbaric God Legion has designated 'Barbaric Bear' as Luo Shen's exclusive title!"

"So does that mean Luo Shen is already level 90?"

"No way, no way—he only became an adventurer less than ten days ago, and now he's level 90?!?!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. This is unquestionably the fastest leveling record ever—no exceptions. Even the Guardian God himself never achieved this!"

"Too terrifying... No wonder he could wreck the bastards next door on Sakura Island so badly they didn't even have a home left."

"Ahem, don't put it that way about Sakura Island — at the very least they did add a little fuel to the fame of God Luo!"

"Hiss, hurry and spread the word back, this is another big piece of news!"

"God Luo is really hardworking — just yesterday he went through a great battle on Sakura Island, and now on only the second day he's already come to grind a dungeon. A true model worker!"

"No wonder he has such achievements — fine talent aside, he's still this hardcore!"

"This is the gap between us!!"

"..."

……

As time passed.

Not only in East Sea City, but many people throughout the entire Xuanlong Nation knew...

God Luo had set a new record grinding a level-90 dungeon in East Sea City.

This matter...

Even became the headline news of the day, overshadowing even the Sakura Island incident.

After all, the originator of the Sakura Island incident was still Luo Chenyu...

At this very moment.

Luo Chenyu had perhaps already transcended the category of "internet celebrity," becoming a true star — or, more aptly put, a hero.

The public's favorability toward Sakura Island was almost entirely in the negative.

Of course, ten thousand people have ten thousand faces; there were still a very small number of contrarian, bone-headed individuals who existed.

The internet was already in an uproar.

Luo Chenyu's record was simply too terrifying.

The records of the four level-90 dungeons within East Sea City's borders had all fallen into his hands — he had even surpassed the theoretical best results.

Those so-called "experts" all cried out "cheater" one after another.

Things they had researched for ages had been broken so easily — this was the greatest blow to them.

And all of this, to Luo Chenyu, was nothing more than a "trivial" little matter.

At this moment, he was rushing non-stop toward another city.

··· 0 please flowers··· 0

Dongshan City, Dongshan Province!

Although the city was not large, it possessed the largest cluster of level-90 dungeons in all of Xuanlong Nation.

Most importantly...

It was not far from East Sea City — at Luo Chenyu's speed, he only needed three hours of travel to arrive.
