Chapter 265

Chuan Die, you're back pretty early today.

Qin Chuan had just entered the dorm when the three roommates chatting inside looked over. Zhou Xiaochen gave a hehe smile: "Seeing Instructor Ji take you away, I thought you wouldn't come back tonight."

"How could that be." Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly: "Yesterday it was just too late; I didn't have time to rush back, so I stayed overnight elsewhere."

"This time I just went to the Special Affairs Group Headquarters for a quick visit." As he said this, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

This trip yielded a decent harvest.

"I saw a peach seller at the school gate; they looked fresh, so I bought extra." He shook the big bag in his hand: "Want a taste?"

"I'll wash them!" Du He'an gave a hehe smile, took the bag to the balcony to wash.

The four dormmates ate peaches and chatted; in a few words, Qin Chuan also learned how his roommates' dungeon runs went today.

By tagging along on his A-level dungeon run and earning an SSS rating, the three roommates' spent attempt counts were replenished.

Thanks to the stronger boost from their purple title, the three of them jointly cleared a C-level 5-star difficulty dungeon, earning an SSS rating.

Given their strength, being able to do this is already quite good.

"At most another week, and I'll break through to get a second universal intermediate resource, promoting me to elite-level player." Du He'an clenched his fists: "Old Zhou should be close too."

"Ah, I'll try to break through before you." Zhou Xiaochen grinned.

"Then what about me…" Yu Zhao's expression tightened slightly.

"It's fine, Old Yu. You help us two with theory lessons, and we two will carry you." Du He'an patted Yu Zhao's shoulder, speaking understandingly: "Everyone has their specialty."

"Exactly, exactly." Zhou Xiaochen nodded.

"Thanks." Yu Zhao let out a breath, his expression easing.

"Speaking of which, Yu Zhao, why did you enroll in the Supernatural Combat Department?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but wonder: "By rights, the Supernatural Theory Department would suit you better."

Yu Zhao fell silent for a moment, a flash of hatred in his eyes: "I have an unavoidable reason to enroll."

Seeing that there was some hidden story, Qin Chuan and the other two exchanged a glance and quickly changed the subject.

During the trio's chat, night fell and the sky grew dark.

"Mom, it's eleven o'clock." Zhou Xiaochen whispered: "Time to sleep, don't miss the portal opening."

The other three, already lying in bed, stopped talking.

The dorm fell quiet, and after a moment light snoring began.

Perhaps because he'd slept relatively late the previous night, Qin Chuan didn't feel very sleepy now; he lay in bed, casually opened the dungeon list, and immediately froze.

At the very top of the dungeon list appeared a brand-new dungeon.

But this dungeon bore a name very familiar to Qin Chuan.

【Dungeon: Semiya Abyss (S)】 【Available】

【Suggested Player Level: Epic】

【Participant Limit: 1】

【Horizontal Difficulty Rating: ★★★★★】

【Dungeon Remaining Challenge Time: 71:24:57】

Semiya Abyss…

Finally here…

Qin Chuan's expression was solemn yet hinted with relief.

After previously clearing the B-level dungeon Darik Prison Valley and, at the end of that run, faintly glimpsing the terror of Semiya Abyss, he had a feeling that he would eventually encounter it.

Now, everything is as he expected.

Judging by the time, this dungeon should refresh at half past ten at night.

At that time he and his roommates were still chatting idly, and didn't notice.

Even if they had noticed, a dungeon refreshing at that time could only be tackled tomorrow.

Closing the dungeon list, Qin Chuan slowly shut his eyes, yielding to sleepiness.

——

Clang—

The sound of a heavy hammer strike echoed through the Luoyue Guild; Tie Chui casually waved away the floating golden enhancement formation and chuckled, "Mission accomplished."

Cry—

Xiao Qing let out a clear, melodious cry and glanced at Tie Chui with gratitude.

With Tie Chui's help, both of its equipment stats rose to Moon Halo Level 10.

Everything is ready now; only six epic resources remain.

And these six epic resources don't require waiting.

Yue Li lifted her bare hand, and golden and silver orbs condensed in her palm, becoming the six resources needed for Xiao Qing's evolution.

These were obtained by her and Qin Chuan consecutively conquering A-level 5-star secret realms yesterday and today.

As the epic resources were gradually embedded, Xiao Qing let out a cry, its whole body engulfed in dazzling light; when the light faded, its aura was hardly different from that of Shui Hua and ice cream.

Its body elongated, and the beautifully long-tailed Xiao Qing flipped through the air several times, then shrank and gently landed before Yue Li, rubbing its head against hers to show delight.

"Xiao Qing has gotten much stronger too!" Looking at Xiao Qing's evolved panel, Yue Li felt the same delight: "Its trait has become Supreme Speed Hegemony—the greater the speed gap against an enemy unit, the higher its final damage bonus."

Besides that, all its skills gained speed-related effects, and its newly acquired skill can deal extremely high damage while greatly slowing the opponent.

"Xiao Qing's second equipment stat also balances speed, attack, and defense." Qin Chuan smiled, looking at Xiao Qing: "It seems Xiao Qing's evolution trend favors speed as its main offensive approach and trait."

"Yeah." Yue Li rubbed Little Green's head, then looked at Qin Chuan, eyes showing a bit of eagerness, "I'll go try the exclusive subjugation!"

After saying that, her figure vanished where she stood.

Qin Chuan looked at the guild panel.

【Exclusive Subjugation:】

【Current Target: No. 42 Pallas】

【Current Progress: 44%】【Begin Subjugation】

The day before yesterday, Qin Chuan successfully subjugated 8 secret realm subjugation targets, raising the progress to No. 31; yesterday, after he also completed evolution in the ice cream, he carried out another subjugation.

But the number of bosses in the subjugation, however, was fewer than before.

After 30 of them, the speed at which the secret realm subjugation targets' HP increases became faster.

Even with all his effort, Qin Chuan could only kill 6 of them; counting the attacks of other guild members, a total of 7 were killed.

Today, upon entering the Dream World, he immediately completed his exclusive subjugation, but he only killed 4 of them.

The difficulty of the subjugation surged again as the serial number increased.

Yesterday, he had already used the earned subjugation points to raise this 【the more one fights, the braver one becomes】 collective formation to Lv10.

Unlike minor formations, the grand formation's level 10 is the limit and cannot be further increased.

So Qin Chuan began to continue upgrading the new minor formations after the grand formation.

To upgrade the next grand formation, he needs to upgrade four minor formations on each side to Lv10, and the subjugation points required for these minor formations keep increasing.

The task is heavy and the road long.

One minute later, Yue Li appeared again.

【Exclusive Subjugation:】

【Current Target: No. 45 Pallas】

【Current Progress: 12%】【Begin Subjugation】

Looking at the girl's delighted expression, Qin Chuan smiled and gave her a thumbs-up.
