Chapter 41: Clearing Normal Difficulty 10th Level, Entering Hell Difficulty

Subsequently, Zhou Chu cleared the levels rapidly, relying solely on two B-Grade contracted servants to break through the 9th level with ease in under three minutes.

At this moment, he was already leading the other 3 S-Grade students by a gap of 4 levels.

At the same time, the points he had obtained had accumulated to a total of 3050.

The person in second place was still Chen Bo.

Relying on the unique advantages of his Bear Form and Rejuvenation, he had already quickly reached the 7th level.

He held an advantage of nearly two levels over Qin Ye and He Muxue.

However, due to exerting too much force earlier, his Soul Power consumption was massive, and his Soul Power was now nearly bottoming out.

Having no other choice, Chen Bo took a Soul Power Potion from his pocket, tilted his head back, and downed it.

Within 5 seconds, his Soul Power returned to its optimal state.

Inside the Secret Realm Tower, one can only see their own point situation and cannot view the total ranking of everyone currently inside.

Seeing that he had accumulated 1250 points by this time, a confident smile bloomed on Chen Bo's face.

Climbing the Secret Realm Tower requires not only pursuing speed but also maximizing efficiency with the lowest possible consumption.

Chen Bo had climbed to the 7th level and had only consumed 1 Soul Power Potion so far; compared to Qin Ye and He Muxue, the advantage he held was indeed significant.

But what he did not know was that if compared to Zhou Chu, the gap was far too wide.

Zhou Chu's accumulated points were more than double his own.

Yet Chen Bo felt good about himself, completely unaware of how large the gap between him and Zhou Chu was.

Inside the Monitoring Hall, the crowd looked at Zhou Chu's results on the big screen, and there was an uproar.

"To think he reached the 9th level so quickly relying only on two contracted creatures!"

"It hasn't even been three minutes, this is simply incredible! This F-Grade Soul Profession is too godly."

"A dark horse is a dark horse; this is the rhythm of going all the way to the end."

"Who's to say otherwise? The lowest starting point, the greatest potential!"

Liu Lanzhi, the director of the Soul Profession Office, had a glimmer of pleasant surprise in her eyes at this moment and couldn't help but exclaim: "This child Zhou Chu, his strength far exceeds our imagination."

Even He Laijin had to change his impression of Zhou Chu somewhat.

"Indeed, his combat intuition is sharp, and his control over his contracted creatures is also quite good," he couldn't help but praise as well.

Luo Dachun's face was ashen, his heart filled with both shock and anger.

He had originally thought that the three S-Grade students would rely on their advantages to burst forth with greater potential during the later stages of tower climbing.

He had not expected them all to be left far behind by Zhou Chu, and he suddenly felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face.

Gritting his teeth, he said: "This kid definitely has a problem! He must have cheated!"

Seeing his student Zhou Chu far in the lead, Su Zhanghe was absolutely overjoyed.

Seeing that Luo Dachun was still acting as if he refused to give up, Su Zhanghe couldn't help but mock: "Isn't it clear at a glance whether Zhou Chu cheated or not? Shouldn't Principal Luo go see an ophthalmologist?"

Stung by Su Zhanghe's mockery, Luo Dachun's expression became even uglier.

He immediately flew into a rage from embarrassment and said: "Hmph, Su Zhanghe, don't get cocky too early! This is only Normal Difficulty."

"If Zhou Chu has the guts, let him clear the Hell and Secret Realm difficulties entirely. I don't believe it; just how arrogant can a mere F-Grade Soul Profession get!"

Generally speaking, the maximum points one can obtain for clearing all of the first ten levels of the Secret Realm Tower's Normal Difficulty is 4000 points.

For Zhou Chu to be able to obtain 3050 points in the first nine levels is already considered a top-tier result.

Of course, this does not include the 10th Level BOSS.

Almost all newcomers go through a break-in period as they become more familiar with their combat style.

In the later stages of tower climbing, compared to the first time, the speed will definitely be faster, and the points obtained will also be increasingly higher.

If one makes good use of the two daily opportunities to climb the tower, reaching the 10th Level within 5 days to get into a mid-tier university is no problem.

As for the Hell and Nightmare difficulties further up, their difficulty has already reached a level that requires a Second Transfer or even a Third Turn to challenge.

Moreover, the Hell and Nightmare difficulties are not meant for students before the College Entrance Exam.

Therefore, students generally do not challenge their own limits.

This Luo Dachun is simply making unreasonable demands; it is truly infuriating and hateful.

As a principal, to be so narrow-minded is truly unworthy of being a teacher.

What Su Zhanghe was thankful for was that Zhou Chu was not present.

Otherwise, he could not avoid some instigation from Luo Dachun, and if the kid didn't react in time, he would definitely go off to challenge the Hell Difficulty.

Su Zhanghe glared at Luo Dachun and said: "Principal Luo, you are deliberately making things difficult. Zhou Chu has already performed exceptionally well; why must you be so aggressive?"

Luo Dachun snorted coldly: "I am merely stating facts. People with ability should accept higher-difficulty challenges, shouldn't they?"

"If he really has the skill, clearing the Hell and Nightmare difficulties should be a piece of cake."

Inside the Secret Realm Tower, Zhou Chu did not slack off in the slightest and stepped directly into the 10th level.

The highest level of every difficulty will face a BOSS-level monster.

But it was still a D-Grade quality BOSS.

To Zhou Chu, the strength of this BOSS would not be too high either.

It is normal to specifically lower the attributes of monsters in Normal Difficulty so that more students can farm experience.

In the Normal Difficulty, Zhou Chu had already obtained sufficiently high points.

And in the Hell and Nightmare difficulties, Zhou Chu could really stretch his legs and obtain more points.

Just farming back and forth on the first ten levels really had no point.

At this moment, a roar came from the gloom.

Immediately following, the earth gave off a series of tremors, and accompanied by a rumbling sound, a massive figure appeared in Zhou Chu's line of sight.

【Rock Golem】 BOSS (D-Grade)

【Blood Value: 5000】

【Soul Power Value: 300】

【Attack Power: 200】

【Skills: Rock Impact, Earth Rift Wave】

Zhou Chu waved his hand and summoned a Crypt Demon from the Contract Pool.

Immediately after, he ordered the Crypt Demon to use Web Bind to pin the somewhat irritable Rock Golem in place.

The next moment, the three contract servants swarmed forward.

Although the Rock Golem's movement was restricted, it could still counterattack.

It was a pity that even after using both of its AOE skills, it failed to kill a single one of Zhou Chu's contracted creatures.

Very quickly, the Rock Golem's health bar was depleted, and it collapsed with a boom into a pile of rubble.

【Successfully cleared the tenth floor of Normal Difficulty, time taken: 15 seconds, obtained 900 points.】

【Your cumulative points have reached 3950.】

【You have successfully cleared all Normal Difficulty levels; Hell Difficulty has been unlocked for you.】

Clearing the tenth floor was even easier than clearing the first two floors.

Zhou Chu was only 50 points away from obtaining all the points for Normal Difficulty.

But one cannot pursue perfection in everything; he was already very satisfied.

As Zhou Chu cleared Normal Difficulty, the Monitoring Hall fell into a dead silence.

After a long while, sounds of gasping began to echo within the Monitoring Hall.

However, at this moment, Zhou Chu's figure was no longer visible on the monitor.

Seeing this, everyone wore a look of confusion.

"Hmm, where is Zhou Chu? Did he teleport to the next floor?"

"I was too busy gasping just now, I didn't see."

Immediately after, Liu Lanzhi hurriedly picked up the controller at her side and adjusted the screen showing Zhou Chu back to the first floor of Normal.

There was still no sign of Zhou Chu on the first floor.

Liu Lanzhi was startled, and she hurriedly pressed a yellow button on the controller; the small screen then turned black.

Only a small green dot remained on the black screen.

Liu Lanzhi's eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath and say, "Zhou Chu has already entered Hell Difficulty!"
