Chapter 100: Dare to Move Jiang Chen Once, and the Dungeon Hall Crumbles

To be honest, I'm really exhausted.

After two consecutive Instances, it's been over 13 hours, and Jiang Chen does indeed feel a bit weary.

On Chu Yao's recommendation, he bought six bottles of Fatigue Elixir.

After drinking one bottle, he immediately felt his body as if bathed in a hot spring, all fatigue swept away, his spirit revitalized,

practically more refreshed than after a long sleep.

Chu Yao blinked, proudly saying, "How's that, the effect isn't bad, right?"

"It's good stuff, not bad."

Jiang Chen affirmed the elixir's effect, and Chu Yao, delighted, said, "500 points, you didn't lose a thing."

"Now you can keep leading people through Instances; so many are waiting."

Jiang Chen noticed the party seemed longer, with more people joining at the back.

Leading people through Instances really does earn points quickly.

Jiang Chen's original goal was to enter an Instance to find Desert Fruit; he hopes to obtain that precious item again to boost his Skill.

Experience isn't a major issue for him, but points are extremely important.

Just now Jiang Chen finished an Instance with 39 people, yet the party didn't shrink; instead it kept growing.

Those who have already completed the Dungeon Quest are now inviting friends to join, ensuring no one misses the chance.

Meanwhile, information about Jiang Chen began to spread.

At Bai Li Academy, Chen Ziming learned of the news.

He sat there, pondering while lightly tapping the table, as if mimicking someone's behavior.

"So he's using the corpse's Area Damage Skill."

"And the Skeleton Legion with exceptionally strong attributes."

"In other words, as long as we limit his Summoning

technique, then strip away his corpse, Jiang Chen will become utterly harmless."

"Every profession has a weakness; his weakness lies here."

Chen Ziming analyzed Jiang Chen's Skill data, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Jiang Chen not only embarrassed him, but also damaged the reputation of Bai Li Academy.

If Jiang Chen weren't involved, the new record would belong to Bai Li Academy, and they might even obtain the Tyrant's Heart.

As for BOSS Jewelry, Chen Ziming also covets it greatly.

In his view, Jiang Chen stole far too much from him.

But because of his status and position, he cannot act against Jiang Chen personally.

At the same time, he envies Jiang Chen's profession and Skill.

Jiang Chen's Skill is truly overwhelming.

After some thought, Chen Ziming ordered, "Send Lei Ren from Qianlong Xueyuan over here and tell him I have business with him."

In the Dungeon Hall, Jiang Chen completed another Instance after 7 hours.

After drinking the Fatigue Elixir, he felt full of energy, not a trace of fatigue.

Not only physically, but mentally as well.

This elixir is truly miraculous, and the alchemist who crafted it is exceptionally skilled.

Given that, let's keep grinding.

After some calculation, there are still over 30 hours until the opening ceremony.

If he acts quickly, he can lead five more waves of parties into the Instance.

That's nearly 200,000 points, truly impossible to refuse.

Perhaps within those five waves he'll encounter a Desert Fruit.

Glancing at the Dungeon Hall, Chu Yao had already left.

"Maybe she went back to rest."

He thought for a moment.

Jiang Chen kept gathering points, forming groups, then entered the main Instance.

Round after round.

On the day before the opening ceremony, from across the nation,

the new batch of Shenlong University students arrived.

The university assigned many Senior Students to guide, escorting newcomers to the dorms, and also arranged tours of Shenlong University.

Lu Qingyu was touring Shenlong University with several other Freshmen, guided by an upperclass senior sister.

They admired the beautiful scenery of Shenlong University.

Shenlong University, as the premier university of the Shenlong Empire, is vast and majestic.

Everywhere it exudes excellence, incomparable to other universities.

After the tour, Lu Qingyu returned to the dormitory.

She isn't as wealthy as Jiang Chen; she lives in a double room.

She's a mage profession; during Meditation she prefers not to be disturbed, and a four‑person dorm is too noisy.

A single room is too expensive, so she chose a double.

After all, her points are still under 10,000, she can't spend them recklessly.

A double room costs 1000 points a month, which made her wince.

She scored 7600 points on the college entrance exam.

The province's second place was rewarded with another 2,000 points.

She has a total of 9,600 points.

When departing, her father Lu Weichuan repeatedly reminded her to be frugal with points.

Where Gold Coins can be used, points are never needed.

This also made Lu Qingyu realize how hard points are to earn.

"There are so many good items in the University Exchange, but unfortunately they all require points; I can't afford them."

"I really envy that guy; he has over 30,000 points. I wonder how many points the National Top Scholar can reward; it must be a lot."

"I heard Principal Cheng say that Jiang Chen arrived at Shenlong University a few days ago."

"I wonder how he's been these past few days."

"With his ability, he should be doing quite well, right?"

"National Top Scholar, indeed..."

"... remarkable."

Thinking of Jiang Chen's performance in Battle Space, Lu Qingyu felt both astonished and happy for him.

At this moment, she no longer had any desire to compete with Jiang Chen.

The gap between them was too large.

She could admit defeat in her heart, but she would never say it aloud.

"Never mind, anyway the opening ceremony is tomorrow; that guy will definitely show up."

The dormitory door opened, and a roommate arrived.

Lu Qingyu's eyes lit up: "It's you!"

Han Li stared blankly at Lu Qingyu, then a delighted look appeared in her eyes: "What a coincidence!"

"Being roommates with a fellow provincial native feels great."

Jiang Chen ran the instance repeatedly, and the Lion Tribe Tyrant fell before him each time.

He almost wore out the Tyrant Desert.

If each person weren't limited to one slot on the leaderboard, the top three spots in the instance would all be his, the kind that no one else could beat.

Jiang Chen had already been in the Dungeon Hall for two days, leading others through the instance five times, and was now preparing for the sixth.

"The final time."

He checked the time; after this run, it would be around 7 a. m.

The opening ceremony was scheduled for 9 a. m.

He glanced at the lined‑up queue; there were exactly 35 people, so finishing this round would conclude it.

After collecting the points, they formed a party and quickly teleported into the instance.

For Jiang Chen, this was his eighth entry into the Tyrant Desert.

Except for the first time he stumbled upon a Desert Fruit, the subsequent six times yielded none.

"Hope there'll be one this time."

In Hong Jishi's small courtyard, Lin Zhenzi was blowing his beard and glaring at Hong Jishi, shouting angrily: "The kid you favor is acting too recklessly."

"What's wrong?" Hong Jishi made a strange face, thinking Jiang Chen's temperament is so steady; how could he act recklessly.

Li Xueru was also there

, pouring Lin Zhenzi a cup of tea: "Lin Laotou, don't rush; sip the tea and speak slowly."

Lin Zhenzi said irritably: "That kid is in the Dungeon Hall, charging people to take them through the Tyrant Desert instance."

Hong Jishi asked oddly: "Charging people to go through an instance— isn't that normal? It's always been that way."

"But he took 39 people through the instance."

Lin Zhenzi hummed: "Those who were stuck on tasks in recent years have now all completed them."

Hong Jishi slapped his thigh and laughed heartily: "The kid's clever, coming up with this. How does he charge? He can't make it cheap for those guys!"

Lin Zhenzi's eyes bulged: "You're infuriating me; you're not unaware of the University's purpose in setting tasks."

The University's purpose, using tasks—especially Large‑scale Dungeon tasks—to filter out outstanding talent.

Those who were blocked by instance tasks already have some issues.

Either their strength is lacking or their character is flawed; they always have various defects.

Hong Jishi sipped his tea: "Of course we know, but so what? The rules are set by the University, and the University doesn't forbid guiding people. He's operating within the rules."

"Lin Laotou, why don't you find a University Regulation and see which one Jiang Chen violated?"

Lin Zhenzi inverted his beard and eyebrows: "You!"

He truly couldn't find any rule Jiang Chen broke.

Hong Jishi continued: "I've long been dissatisfied with these tasks; over the years, many promising seedlings have been stuck because they're poor at socializing and can't find a team. Don't tell me you're unaware of this."

"I actually think the kid Jiang Chen did a great thing."

"The University's system really does need to be changed"

"."

Lin Zhenzi was so angry that flames seemed to rise from his head.

Li Xueru sipped his tea leisurely and said: "The University's system is too outdated; it was established centuries ago, and indeed it's time for reform."

Lin Zhenzi, even after drinking three large cups of tea, couldn't quell his fury and stood up: "You two are practically wearing the same pants."

Hong Jishi chuckled: "At this age, your temper is still the same. Anyway, I told you, if you dare mess with Jiang Chen, I'll tear down the Dungeon Hall."

Lin Zhenzi twitched his mouth corners; he knew Hong Jishi could actually do that. If Hong Jishi didn't know Jiang Chen was the person he was cultivating, he would have appeared earlier to stop Jiang Chen.

Lin Zhenzi stormed off, still fuming.

Li Xueru chuckled, "Lin Laotou's temper can't be changed."

Hong Jishi, unfazed, said, "The rivers and mountains can be altered, but nature is hard to shift, huh? This old man—only one person in the world can control him."

Li Xueru naturally knew who Hong Jishi was referring to and couldn't help but show a knowing smile.

However, Shenlong University has far too many old‑fashioned rules; indeed, it should start changing them.
