Chapter 57

"Woof woof woof!"

……

Luo Chenyu listened to the discussion in his ears and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He didn't expect his name to have started spreading so widely.

"Hehe... does this count as being an internet celebrity?"

Arriving not far from the entrance of the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】, he finally saw what the entrance looked like.

A black vortex was spinning continuously, as if it wanted to swallow people whole.

And at a certain point in the vortex, a bright spot was flickering.

It was very likely the level that Wu Dao was currently challenging.

Beside the vortex stood a stone tablet, on which was the top 100 leaderboard of the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】.

Looking closely, Luo Chenyu’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

He saw a familiar name.

77th place: Situ Zhan!

29th place: Li Yunxi!

Two Eighth Order experts of the Barbarian God Legion were actually on the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】 leaderboard!

It seems that their potential is extraordinary. Eighth Order... is not their end.

Many of the names in the top ten are household names.

Without exception, most of them are legendary figures.

For example, the first place, Dong Xuanmo, a Daoist genius who rose more than 200 years ago. His path of leveling up was a wild ride, and now he has become the guardian god of the Xuanlong Kingdom.

……

Luo Chenyu’s eyes were full of hope, "I, too, want to become someone like them!"

Immediately, he didn't waste time and walked straight toward the black vortex at the entrance of the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】.

"Young man, you're blocking the camera, please move aside!"

"Growing so tall and still running to the front to block the view, really no upbringing."

"Get lost..."

"Damn it, can you have some quality!"

Luo Chenyu turned a deaf ear to the angry shouts and curses, and stopped in front of the black vortex on his own.

He turned his head slowly, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.

In an instant.

Everyone watching couldn't help but have their hair stand on end, and the clamoring voices stopped abruptly.

That smile was truly too fierce.

For a moment, they felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast.

However...

The next moment they were all stunned.

The person, had disappeared!!

"Hiss, what a terrifying gaze, what a weird smile. My legs went soft, I thought it was a devil running out of Hell Island."

"Me too, hurry and help me up!"

"Where is he?"

"Look, a red dot appeared on the vortex, he went in!!"

"Holy shit... he, he also has a 【Nine-Fold Abyss】 token. Who on earth is he?"

"Tch, so ill-mannered, his strength must be mediocre. If he can pass 50 levels, I'll eat shit while doing a handstand, and it'll be the runny kind!"

"Brother, if you have a dream, you should say it out loud, why so quiet!!"

"..."

………………

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and eerie whistling sounds filled the entire space.

It had quite the feel of being in a true abyss.

Luo Chenyu looked around, but found nothing special.

The first 200 levels of the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】 have had participants reveal the details; it's like climbing a tower, complete the goal of each level to enter the next.

However, after level 200, the mode changes and becomes unpredictable.

The next moment.

A virtual screen appeared before his eyes.

【Nine-Fold Abyss · Level 1】

Goal: Kill 100 Little Devils

Time Limit: 5 minutes

Reward: EXP +100,000, Random F-grade Permanent Attribute Potion +1!

Failure: Lose challenge qualification!

……

Countdown starts!

3!

2!

1!

As the countdown ended, 100 red Little Devils suddenly appeared in the pile of black rubble, hopping and rushing toward Luo Chenyu.

"Let's start!!"

Luo Chenyu smiled slightly. The Little Devils were just mere Level 30 ordinary monsters.

For a professional with a token, they posed no threat at all.

【Steel Shield】!

After obtaining the treasure 【Steel Armor】, he had always had two layers of damage-absorbing shields on him. After casting 【Steel Shield】 again...

"Explode!"

One of the old shields exploded directly.

-365054!

-375682!

Critical Hit -868752!

……

Terrifying energy covered all the Little Devils.

No experience, no dropped items, nothing else.

All there was...

"Ding, you completed the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】 Level 1 challenge, obtained 100,000 EXP, F-grade Permanent Constitution Potion +1!"

【Permanent Constitution Potion】 (Bound)

Grade: F

Type: Potion

Effect: Permanently increases Constitution by 10 points after use

Restriction: Second Order strength

Note: This quality takes effect at most 5 times, with diminishing effects each time.

……

"No wonder those people are flocking to it, the first 200 levels of the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】 are mainly for grinding attributes!"

Luo Chenyu’s mouth turned up slightly, and he took out the 【Permanent Constitution Potion】 and drank it.

Constitution increased by 20 points (after 100% attribute bonus)!

It was still the same scene.

The goal for the second level arrived.

This time, he needed to deal with 200 Little Devils, and the time limit was still five minutes.

When the Little Devils refreshed, the 【Steel Shield】 had not finished cooling down. Luo Chenyu thought for a moment and directly exploded the second shield.

He completed the goal of the second level in an instant.

And the third level...

His 【Steel Shield】 cooldown was over!

The efficiency was so high that it was simply jaw-dropping.

At the very least, those "audience members" outside were indeed frightened by Luo Chenyu's efficiency.

"Holy crap... this guy's strength is so strong. How long has it been, and he's already broken through ten levels."

"In a small city like Longshan with a population of over 200,000, I've never heard of such a ruthless person. Could he also be a genius from outside?"

"Must be. He looks very fierce, but he's actually not very old. He's probably a top student from some academy."

"Grinding monsters with such high efficiency, he must be a mage or a hidden class of the mage type. The first 50 levels are all about grinding efficiency, which is too friendly to mages."

"Hahaha, brother, does your flag from just now still count? My stomach is feeling uncomfortable today, I have some fresh ones!"

"Tch, being fierce at the front doesn't mean he'll be fierce at the back. He definitely won't pass 50 levels..."

"It's okay, I'll brew it up, I'll save it all for you!"

"Beep beep beep beep beep..."

……

Inside the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】.

"Although the monsters have no experience, the EXP from clearing the levels is so delicious!"

Having only passed ten levels, Luo Chenyu had already reached Level 22, with efficiency far faster than leveling up in the wild.

And as the levels got higher, both the quantity and level of the monsters had significantly increased, and the rewarded EXP was also getting higher and higher.

Although the rewarded permanent attribute potions were still F-grade, the quantity had increased.

Now, except for Spirit, he had almost maxed out the F-grade attribute potions.

Constitution increased by 60 points, Strength and Agility both increased by 45 points.

It simply couldn't be more refreshing!

Most importantly, after this period of bombardment, his shield cap had reached the millions.

In other words.

Every normal attack was at least a million points of AoE damage.

"If this continues, I'm going to be invincible!"

Luo Chenyu happily lit a cigarette, feeling quite the loneliness of the invincible.

In reality, that was indeed the case.

Every level, even if there were many monsters with strong attributes, they couldn't escape his shield explosion.

After passing 10 levels, the rewarded items became E-grade permanent attribute potions.

Getting stronger with every battle!

20 levels...

30 levels...

40 levels...

When Luo Chenyu entered level 41, the monsters were no longer various Little Devils, but monsters he was familiar with, the Goblins that had appeared in the novice dungeon, all kinds of Goblins.

Facing "old friends," his strikes became very gentle, letting them leave without a trace of pain.

……

"Ding, you completed the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】 Level 49 challenge, obtained 490,000 EXP, D-grade Permanent Strength Potion +1!"

"Ding, your level increased by 1, current level: LV.25!"

"Ding, the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】 Level 50 Guardian BOSS 【Abyss Messenger · Aike】 will appear in 30 seconds, please be aware, please be aware!!"

This prompt left him a bit stunned.

The hidden BOSS in the novice dungeon was actually "moonlighting" as the guardian of the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】.

A true "working" BOSS!

He knew that 【Abyss Messenger · Aike】 possessed extraordinary intelligence, so he wanted to see its expression after "meeting again."

It should be very exciting.

【Nine-Fold Abyss · Level 50】

Goal: Kill Guardian BOSS [Abyss Messenger · Aike] (0/1)

Time Limit: 10 minutes

Reward: EXP +1 million, Third Order special skill for this class +1, A-grade Permanent All-Attribute Potion +1!

Failure: Lose challenge qualification!

As the countdown ended.

"Hehehe..."

A familiar laugh rang out, and the black-robed 【Abyss Messenger · Aike】 walked out of the darkness.

"Another professional coming to challenge... holy shit, it's you bastard!!"

Seeing Luo Chenyu's appearance, 【Abyss Messenger · Aike】 suddenly burst out with a "national treasure" (slang for profanity), screaming fiercely: "There is a path to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in. Today I will definitely tear you to pieces!"

Hearing the "refined" words, Luo Chenyu laughed immediately.

"Long time no see, I didn't expect your cultural level to have improved quite a bit, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Hmph, last time my clone was restricted by the rules, but now..."

【Abyss Messenger · Aike】's voice stopped abruptly. A tall and fierce figure stood before it, a fist the size of a sandbag raised high.

"Now, you are going to die too!"

Boom!!!

A group smashed fiercely onto the forehead of 【Abyss Messenger · Aike】, knocking it to the ground.

Critical Hit -5.856 million!

One-hit kill!!

The terrifying shield bonus damage actually caused a critical hit effect.

It can only be said that this guy was out of luck.

Otherwise, it might have been able to block the second punch.

"Just this???"

"Ding, you completed the 【Nine-Fold Abyss】 Level 50 challenge, obtained 1 million EXP, Third Order Defense Warrior special skill 【Block Counterattack】, A-grade Permanent Strength Potion +1!"

Luo Chenyu hadn't even had time to check the rewards.

Eerie black mist emerged from the corpse of 【Abyss Messenger · Aike】, eventually turning into the appearance of that small Goblin.

"You... you..."

A sharp voice rang out, but there were no follow-up words.

At this moment, it was truly stunned.

That terrifying impact was still deeply branded in its mind, unable to be shaken off.

"Yo ho... not dead yet!"

Luo Chenyu looked at the phantom floating in mid-air with deep meaning, and suddenly an absurd idea popped into his mind.

Once the idea came, he acted immediately!

Space Lock!

Spatial power surrounded 【Abyss Messenger · Aike】.

He wanted to see what would happen if he kept this phantom made of black mist.

"This... what skill is this?"

【Abyss Messenger · Aike】 was stunned. It felt pain from its soul, and just as it wanted to leave, it was imprisoned by the ubiquitous spatial power and couldn't escape.

"Nothing, you left in a hurry last time, let's have a good chat this time!"

Luo Chenyu waved his hand and punched the phantom of 【Abyss Messenger · Aike】.

However, the result surprised him.

His fist passed through the phantom, and except for the 2,000+ damage from "Blood Rage," there was no other effect.

【Abyss Messenger · Aike】: "..."

Chatting is fake, killing it again is the real purpose, right!

"Let me go... I'll give you all my treasures!"
