Chapter 43: Heaven-Defying Cold Chain Impact! Terrifying Tower-Climbing Speed!

Zhou Chu, who was on the 11th floor, was completely unaware of the situation appearing in the Monitoring Hall.

Seeing that he had earned another 2000 points, Zhou Chu was absolutely overjoyed.

One floor of Hell Difficulty was equivalent to five floors of Normal Difficulty; the rewards were truly bountiful.

With a god-tier servant in hand, the world is mine!

No need to say more, just keep climbing.

Incarnated as Xina, Zhou Chu saw that the gate leading to the 12th floor had opened, so he strode inside with the Pain Banshee.

Hell Difficulty 2nd floor, 12th floor of the Secret Realm Tower.

As soon as he entered, a thick, bloody stench rushed toward his nose.

Not far away, more than a dozen monsters appeared, their black-red muscle tissue exposed and their physiques even stronger than the walking corpses on the lower floors.

These monsters had dark red eyes, and in their skinless chests, their scarlet hearts, though no longer beating, emitted an eerie glow.

【Scarlet Blood Corpse】 C-Grade

【Level: 12】

【Blood Value: 5000】

【Attack Power: 300】

【Skills: Blood Frenzy, Fury Trigger】

……

Monsters of this level still did not reach the strength of the ghouls in the Calamity Land.

At most, they could be considered quasi-servants in the Calamity Legion, but they still hadn't shed the label of Grunt.

Zhou Chu immediately pointed forward and issued an order to Pain Banshee Xiduo beside him: "Xiduo, finish them off with the fastest speed!"

The god-tier Pain Banshee nodded slightly, and a burst of intense cold air erupted from her body instantly.

Driven by the cold air, the iron chains on Xiduo's body emitted a clattering sound of trembling.

The next moment, the iron chains on Xiduo's body transformed into over a dozen long chains tipped with ice spikes, which surged toward those blood corpses in a fan shape.

Cold Chain Impact!

Wherever the ice chains went, these Scarlet Blood Corpses were instantly frozen, their bodies immediately encased in a thick layer of ice, turning into large blocks of ice.

Following that, Xiduo pulled hard, and the large ice blocks formed by the frozen blood corpses were torn into pieces, shattering into shards of ice that scattered on the ground.

【Successfully killed "Scarlet Blood Corpse (C-Grade)" *16】

【Successfully collected Contract Material "Scarlet Blood Corpse (C-Grade) *16"】

【Obtained Soul Fragment *16】

【Successfully cleared the 12th floor of Hell Difficulty, time taken 3 seconds, obtained 3000 points.】

【Your cumulative points have reached 8950 points.】

……

Seeing the power of the god-tier Pain Banshee's Cold Chain Impact, Zhou Chu's jaw almost dropped.

This freezing effect was simply heaven-defying.

It reached the level of instantaneous freezing.

A full 16 Scarlet Blood Corpses didn't even have a chance to react before they turned into a pile of ice shards.

Including the short wind-up time from Zhou Chu giving the order to the Cold Chain Impact, the battle was cleanly and efficiently resolved within 3 seconds.

This result was enough to obtain the maximum points for this floor.

It could be said that Zhou Chu could crush the monsters of Hell Difficulty by taking either Xina or Xiduo alone.

The key was that Xiduo was only at the 1st Level at this time.

Adding in the 10th Level Xina who shared a body with Zhou Chu, sweeping through the entire Hell Difficulty would be no problem at all.

The strength of a god-tier is truly terrifying.

Next, as Zhou Chu continuously cleared floors, his points also accumulated rapidly.

【Successfully cleared the 13th floor of Hell Difficulty, time taken 5 seconds, obtained 4000 points.】

【Your cumulative points have reached points.】

……

【Successfully cleared the 14th floor of Hell Difficulty, time taken 9 seconds, obtained 5000 points.】

【Your cumulative points have reached points.】

……

【Successfully cleared the 15th floor of Hell Difficulty, time taken 7 seconds, obtained 6000 points.】

【Your cumulative points have reached points.】

……

【Successfully cleared the 16th floor of Hell Difficulty, time taken 5 seconds, obtained 7000 points.】

【Your cumulative points have reached points.】

……

It could be clearly seen that as the number of floors increased, the time Zhou Chu took to clear each floor not only did not increase, but actually became less and less.

This was because for every floor added to the Hell Difficulty, the number of monsters increased by 8 compared to the previous floor.

Therefore, the further they went, it was almost always Zhou Chu and Xiduo attacking together, resolving the battle in the shortest time possible.

Often, two rounds of Zhou Chu's scattering shots plus one Cold Chain Impact from Xiduo were enough to easily wipe out all the monsters on that floor.

In one breath, Zhou Chu quickly passed the 19th floor of the Secret Realm Tower.

One more floor up, and it would be the final BOSS of Hell Difficulty.

At this moment, Zhou Chu's cumulative points had already soared.

At the same time, climbing from the 11th floor to the 19th floor, excluding the time spent walking, took less than 1 minute in total from killing monsters to clearing the levels.

Zhou Chu could not help but scratch his head.

Was this speed a bit too fast?

With such terrifying speed, how were others supposed to play?

……

Meanwhile, at the Secret Realm Tower Monitoring Hall.

The monitoring screen for where Zhou Chu was located remained pitch black.

For several minutes, they had been unable to detect Zhou Chu's tracking signal.

To outsiders, given this situation, there was no need to think twice: Zhou Chu must have been dead for a long time.

However, what shocked people immensely was this.

Although Zhou Chu's vital signs could not be detected, his points on the leaderboard to the side were surging, increasing every three to four seconds, and each time by the maximum amount.

In just a few short minutes, Zhou Chu's points had already reached nearly 60,000.

While immensely shocked, people were also extremely puzzled.

Since the person was dead, not only were the points still rising, but the speed of the increase was getting faster and faster.

This was simply absurd to the extreme!

"Director Liu, what is going on? Why are Zhou Chu's points still rising?"

"That's right, is there something wrong with the monitoring or statistical equipment?"

"The person has been gone for several minutes, yet the points just keep rising and rising; this is too outrageous."

To be honest, these few minutes were also the most agonizing minutes Liu Lanzhi had ever spent in her life.

Therefore, the situation before her was one she had never encountered before.

For a moment, even she, the director of the Soul Profession Office, was at a loss.

For a period of time earlier, Liu Lanzhi had believed that Zhou Chu was not dead.

She thought that while killing monsters, Zhou Chu had lost his Identity Tag, which caused the monitoring signal to disappear.

However, when she saw that Zhou Chu's cumulative points not only did not stop but were increasing at an increasingly absurd speed, and then heard the reminders from others, she finally realized the truth.

Consequently, Liu Lanzhi immediately called for maintenance personnel to first conduct an inspection of the equipment that calculated the points.

Even after every check and restart, the results displayed on the statistical board remained unchanged.

In the end, even the personnel responsible for equipment maintenance were completely baffled.

The equipment clearly had no problems at all, yet this was the situation; he was truly powerless to do anything.

Even an ordinary equipment maintenance worker could not understand this absurd result.

He even took the initiative to suggest replacing it with a new one to try again.

And Liu Lanzhi agreed immediately.

However, even after replacing the statistical equipment with new ones, the results still did not change.

But nearly 10 minutes had passed since the last statistic just now, and Zhou Chu's score seemed to have stopped.

Everyone present stared at Zhou Chu's points with nervous expressions, fearing that they would move again the next second.

And Zhou Chu, who was on the 19th floor, was also afraid that if he climbed too fast, it would cause a sensation.

Therefore, he simply disengaged from the Soul Transfer effect, sat down on the steps leading to the twentieth floor, took a drink out of his pocket, and began to drink it leisurely.

However, the moment Zhou Chu canceled the Soul Transfer, his signal finally came through to the Monitoring Hall once again.
