Chapter 42: God-tier Body is Quite Nice! A Last-Ditch Struggle?

Once the Secret Realm Tower enters Hell Difficulty, it is no longer within the range that the monitors can control.

On one hand, this is no longer a difficulty level that newcomers can adapt to.

On the other hand, because Hell Difficulty incorporates a certain degree of Calamity Aura, the monitoring signals of the monitors will be affected by the Calamity Qi and be blocked.

Generally speaking, Soul Professionals from Level 1 up to before Level 3 will enter the tower to use monsters of this difficulty to practice.

One reason is to better hone combat skills, and the other is that the simulated Calamity Aura gives challengers a more intuitive real-combat experience.

The most important point is that Hell Difficulty is not just an increase in difficulty; it also carries a certain level of danger.

In fact, this is not alarmist talk.

Teachers in class have also mentioned before that the Secret Realm Tower is both a paradise for Soul Professionals to grind levels and a hell where they could lose their lives at any moment.

A considerable number of Soul Professionals do not die in battle against Calamity monsters, but instead lose their lives inside the Secret Realm Tower.

It can be said to be extremely pathetic.

Although Zhou Chu will no longer be live-streamed after entering Hell Difficulty,

there is a tracker inside the Identity Identification Card issued during the prior registration.

And it is a tracking device that can monitor the challenger's vital signs.

As long as the challenger has not died, they will appear as a small green dot on the monitoring equipment in the Monitoring Hall.

Other than that, it is pitch black.

It was only after Liu Lanzhi switched to the tracker signal that she was shocked to find a small green dot had indeed appeared.

"This kid really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Wouldn't it be better to grind Normal Difficulty a few more times? He just had to go and challenge Hell Difficulty."

Her brows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but mutter.

Behind her, Luo Dachun sneered and said, "Hmph, he's just a guy who doesn't know life from death. Hell Difficulty isn't something a little F-rank like him can easily challenge. I want to see how long he can last in there."

Seeing Zhou Chu enter Hell Difficulty, most others held a pessimistic attitude.

A newcomer who hasn't even reached the First Turn dares to challenge a difficulty above the First Turn.

His courage is commendable, but it is more of an overestimation of his own capabilities.

At this moment, Zhou Chu, having entered the 11th floor of Hell Difficulty, revealed an expression of dissatisfaction when he saw the monsters ahead.

【Hungry Corpse】 C-Grade

【Level: 11】

【Blood Value: 3500】

【Attack Power: 220】

【Skills: Bloodlust, Gnaw】

Hell Difficulty increased the number of monsters, but the strength is nothing to write home about.

The monsters before him are far inferior to the C-Grade corpse ghosts Zhou Chu encountered at the Calamity Front.

They are equivalent to shrunken versions of corpse ghosts.

But even so, Zhou Chu is not prepared to waste any more time.

After all, time is money, and it is points.

Zhou Chu put away the Grave Digger and the Crypt Demon, and directly summoned both of his God-tier servants.

Next is showtime.

In order to test the brand-new God-tier skill Soul Transfer, Zhou Chu targeted Xina and immediately used Soul Transfer.

The next second, Zhou Chu's body vanished from the spot, and he immediately entered Xina's body.

At this moment, it has become Xina's first-person perspective.

He moved his limbs slightly, feeling exactly the same as his usual self.

Zhou Chu has effectively occupied Xina's body; to be precise, he has become Xina.

The only thing that made Zhou Chu feel a bit awkward is that this is a female body.

As Xina, he can feel the powerful strength contained within this body.

Is this a God-tier quality body?

It seems quite nice!

The corners of Zhou Chu's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly, and his face revealed a confident smile.

At this time, the Pain Banshee Xiduo beside him shook the iron chains wrapped around her body, making a clinking sound.

Perhaps the sound of the chains startled those silent corpses.

These corpses turned their heads in unison; beneath their terrifying faces, pairs of green eyes emitted a sinister Light, and dull low growls kept coming from their throats.

Roar!

The next moment, as if awakened by fresh flesh and blood, these corpses roared and pounced toward this side.

Zhou Chu immediately pulled the longbow in his hand, and arrows stained with Dark Aura shot toward the bodies of those corpses.

The effect of Soul Transfer is that it can inherit all of Xina's abilities.

So every time Zhou Chu shoots an arrow, he can also shoot 20 arrows.

It's just that, unlike Xina, Zhou Chu inadvertently moved the longbow in his hand horizontally, which actually caused the flight trajectories of these 20 arrows to change.

It was as if he had unlocked a new skill; these arrows instantly scattered, covering all of these corpses.

Awoo, awoo, awoo...

Bursts of miserable wails came continuously, and those corpses were like a crop of wheat being mowed down, instantly harvested in their entirety.

【Successfully killed "Hungry Corpse (C-Grade)" *8】

【Successfully collected Contract Material "Hungry Corpse (C-Grade) *8"】

【Obtained Soul Fragment *8】

【Successfully cleared the eleventh floor of Hell Difficulty, time taken: 1 second, obtained 2000 points.】

【Your cumulative points have reached 5950.】

……

At this moment.

Monitoring Hall of the Secret Realm Tower.

Under the expectant and nervous gazes of the crowd, they saw the small green dot on the black screen pause briefly at the 11th floor before disappearing once again.

Liu Lanzhi's body couldn't help but tremble, and the controller in her hand quickly switched to the tenth floor.

Seeing that the tenth floor was completely empty, she hurriedly pressed the yellow button again, but still could not find the signal representing Zhou Chu's vital signs.

"What is going on? Could it be that Zhou Chu he……"

Liu Lanzhi felt that things were looking bad.

Being unable to monitor Zhou Chu's vital signs meant that he had very likely met with a mishap.

At this time, Luo Dachun let out a gloating laugh, his whole body rocking back and forth with laughter.

"It's over, it's over, hahaha, I said it, a mere little F-rank actually dared to overestimate himself and challenge Hell Difficulty."

"You've all seen it now, he didn't even last three seconds before his life was forfeit……"

Immediately following this, a chorus of sighs erupted in the Monitoring Hall.

Previously, Zhou Chu had cleared the first ten floors with overwhelming force.

Unfortunately, after entering Hell Difficulty, he was crushed by the monsters in turn, and even lost his life in the process.

Truly pathetic and lamentable.

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, Liu Lanzhi exclaimed, then pointed at the points leaderboard to the side and said in surprise: "Zhou Chu's cumulative points have increased by another 2000."

Everyone present was stunned, their gazes falling in unison upon the points leaderboard.

The next moment, the entire Monitoring Hall fell into a deathly silence once again, with only the buzzing of flies to be heard.

Luo Dachun's laughter also came to an abrupt halt the moment he saw the points leaderboard.

At this time, after Liu Lanzhi pressed the yellow button on the controller again to search for Zhou Chu's positioning signal, she still could not detect it.

There was only one possibility for this.

That was that while Zhou Chu killed the monster, he also suffered a fatal blow, ultimately perishing together with it.

However, for him and the monster to die simultaneously within one second… this was simply too contrary to reason.

The reality should not be this simple.

Liu Lanzhi furrowed her brows once more, falling into deep thought.

Yet her hands never stopped, as she continued to track Zhou Chu's monitoring signal.

Seeing this, Luo Dachun became even more convinced of Zhou Chu's death, and so his laughter echoed through the Monitoring Hall once again.

"Death throes! Just death throes! Perishing together with a monster, this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen! Hahaha!"
