Chapter 45: It

Chen Bo's expression turned extremely ugly after being rebuffed by He Muxue like that.

But he still stepped in front of He Muxue, pretending to be calm as he said, "He Muxue, don't be ungrateful; I'm doing this because I think highly of you."

He Muxue gave a cold snort: "Good dogs don't block the path, move aside!"

Chen Bo's expression grew even gloomier, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "He Muxue, don't think Zhou Chu will amount to anything; who knows how miserably he's being tortured in the tower right now!"

Not far away, Qin Ye bit his lip until it bled as he watched Chen Bo pestering He Muxue.

But he knew clearly that even if he went up to stand up for He Muxue, she wouldn't appreciate it.

The only way to turn the situation around was to make himself stronger.

At the same time, he secretly swore that he would not let anyone who coveted He Muxue off the hook.

"Chen Bo! You bastard, I will definitely make you disappear!"

Fire elements suddenly erupted from Qin Ye's entire body, his fists clenched tight, and he walked into the tower alone with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, Zhou Chu had rested on the 19th floor for quite a while before leading his two god-tier servants into the 20th floor.

The environment of the 20th floor was like an Abyss shrouded in darkness, with a pungent smell of sulfur permeating the air.

A giant monster radiating black flames all over its body appeared before Zhou Chu—【Hell Black Flame Beast】.

This was the final BOSS of the Hell Difficulty.

【Hell Black Flame Beast】 BOSS (C-Grade)

【Blood Value: 】

【Attack Power: 1100】

【Skills: Black Flame Jet, Black Flame Shield, Giant Beast Stomp】

Upon seeing Zhou Chu, the Hell Black Flame Beast let out an earth-shattering roar, followed immediately by a Black Flame Jet.

The dishonorable BOSS attacked the moment they met without any greeting, and Zhou Chu hurriedly used Soul Transfer to attach himself to Xina.

Watching the rolling flames surge toward him, he hurriedly dodged with a roll.

At the same time, the moment he stood up, a series of arrows shot into the BOSS's body.

The Black Flame Beast let out a miserable howl, its health bar was instantly emptied, and its massive body crashed to the ground with a boom.

【Successfully cleared the twentieth floor of Hell Difficulty, time taken: 3 seconds, points obtained.】

【Your cumulative points have reached points.】

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

Being caught in a surprise attack by this BOSS couldn't help but break Zhou Chu out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, his reaction was swift, and he immediately used Soul Transfer.

Otherwise, with his current physique, if he had been touched by that fire, he would have been either dead or crippled.

But then again, although this C-Grade BOSS looked very oppressive in terms of size, it was far inferior to the Calamity ghost guarding the 69th Demon Cave.

After all, the Calamity ghost was a Lord-Class monster and was absolutely not something this C-Grade BOSS could compare to.

Although it was just a small interlude, it also showed from the side that the higher the difficulty, the greater these uncertain factors became.

With two god-tier servants by his side, the speed of clearing the Hell Difficulty was even faster, almost a complete steamroll.

Now there were nearly 80,000 points in total.

Calculating based on one point exchanged for one experience point, reaching level three was already a certainty.

At this moment, meeting the minimum admission threshold for Shenxia University was already a done deal.

However, seeing the blood-red door leading to the Nightmare Difficulty open, Zhou Chu hesitated whether to continue.

But he quickly dismissed this thought.

Just reaching the minimum admission threshold for Shenxia was not enough; if he was going to take it, he would take the highest.

Moreover, with such rich experience right before his eyes, how could he stop while he was ahead?

In Zhou Chu's dictionary, there were never the words "satisfaction" or "stopping while ahead."

Either don't do it, or if you do it, do it big.

For the next few days, he wouldn't need to work hard anymore; he could just eat, drink, and play all day while waiting for the College Entrance Exam.

Just do it!

Zhou Chu grinned and stepped directly onto the stairs leading into the Nightmare Difficulty.

At the same time, in the Secret Realm Tower Monitoring Hall.

Seeing the signal representing Zhou Chu's vital signs disappear the moment he stepped onto the 20th floor.

It couldn't help but make Liu Lanzhi's heart shake violently.

As the director of the Soul Profession Office, she knew very well that the 20th-floor BOSS would pull a surprise attack at the very beginning.

Once, the Longqi Squad led by Long Aofei had also encountered such a surprise attack.

At that time, if they hadn't reacted quickly enough and their support-class teammate hadn't been capable, they would very likely have been wiped out.

And for the newcomer Zhou Chu, he was completely unaware of such a situation.

So, the moment she saw the little green dot on the screen evaporate instantly, she felt that Zhou Chu was definitely in grave danger this time.

Although she didn't know how Zhou Chu had passed the previous floors, in Liu Lanzhi's heart, she had already recognized Zhou Chu's strength.

A student who could be more excellent than an S-Grade must have top-tier comprehensive quality.

It was just a pity... such an excellent candidate for a son-in-law had ultimately fallen at this stage.

Liu Lanzhi let out a sigh of regret and returned to her seat, looking slightly disappointed.

Honestly, from the moment she met Zhou Chu, she had quite liked him.

But thinking that this person was just gone like that, she really felt a bit empty inside.

"Director, what should we do now? Do we need to notify Zhou Chu's family now?"

A staff member of the Soul Profession Office, clearly also aware of this result, walked over and asked Liu Lanzhi in a low voice.

Liu Lanzhi sighed, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's wait for now; we'll talk after the event ends."

At this moment, He Laijin also had a look of disbelief; he ran over in a few steps and asked, "Ma'am, that kid Zhou Chu, is he, is he really finished just like that?"

Liu Lanzhi nodded helplessly: "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid the outlook is grim."

Upon hearing this, He Laijin touched his forehead with a look of regret: "Sigh, this kid, I previously thought he had quite a lot of potential, I didn't expect..."

Luo Dachun was delighted the moment he heard this.

That kid ended up falling inside after all.

But for a small F-tier like him, dying in the tower can be considered dying in his proper place.

With a smug look, he patted Su Zhanghe, who currently had a somewhat dazed expression, and said: "Old Su, I told you long ago that there must be something wrong with him being able to climb to the 19th floor."

"Now look, he died on the 20th floor, didn't he."

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and contact that kid's family. If you're late, his family might come to the school to cause a scene."

Su Zhanghe knew that this dog of a man, Luo Dachun, was exactly what he wanted to see.

This matter happened to fulfill his wish, which was simply detestable to the extreme.

That kid Zhou Chu was truly too impulsive.

If he had a choice, Su Zhanghe would rather Zhou Chu die on the front-line battlefield than die stiflingly in the Secret Realm Tower.

Just as Su Zhanghe was about to turn and leave, a voice suddenly exclaimed: "It's rising, it's rising, Zhou Chu's points have risen again!"

Hearing this, the entire Monitoring Hall instantly fell silent, and everyone once again cast their gazes toward the leaderboard on the screen.

Sure enough, Zhou Chu's points, from the original 【number】, jumped twice in a row, and at this moment had risen to 【number】.

Liu Lanzhi hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the screen, her face full of an expression of disbelief: "It really rose? How is this possible?"
