Chapter 206: It Was Truly Accidental, Setting a New Record

Crack, crack!

Behind him, the constant sound of Skeleton Warriors running came.

These warriors dragged a heap of monster corpses in their hands, but those monster corpses were vanishing rapidly, their life force completely exhausted.

Only the Palace Guard corpses remained, because their life force was stronger and could endure longer.

The Skeleton Warriors were enveloped by flame, continuously taking damage.

Although they possessed the passive skill Elemental Resistance, which could reduce elemental damage threefold, and their constitution attribute was as high as 24000, the relentless damage still caused their life force to gradually drain.

Under Nightmare Difficulty, the Skeleton Warriors could endure for ten hours.

However, under Hell Difficulty, they could last at most less than three hours, and once drawn into combat, the time would shorten further.

Jiang Chen was extremely anxious, not wanting the Skeleton Warriors to sacrifice themselves again.

These Skeleton Warriors were summoned by his own hand, the most loyal warriors; although they could not speak and had no emotions, Jiang Chen was unwilling to let them lose their lives again.

"Fortunately, this Instance isn't large!"

Jiang Chen felt relieved.

The relatively small scale of this Instance gave him hope of quickly reaching the area where the final BOSS resides.

Jiang Chen saw that huge eye fly again, land on the waterfall, and become the single eye of the Lava Giant.

The Lava Giant awoke amid a rumble, but Jiang Chen was burning with impatience.

"Can you hurry up!"

Jiang Chen's Soul Burn ignited in his hand and fell onto the Lava Giant.

But nothing happened.

An invisible force blocked Jiang Chen's Soul Burn.

During the Lava Giant's awakening, attacks were not permitted.

The whole Instance's mechanism is exactly as

this, the rules constrain Jiang Chen.

No way out, only wait.

Attempting to use Soul Burn.

The Palace Guard corpses' life force dwindled, and Jiang Chen wondered what else could be done faster.

Or rather, what method could delay the Palace Guard's death time.

Finally, the Lava Giant let out a roar, fully awakening.

Soul Burn also took effect at this moment.

Its roar instantly turned into a wail.

Skill: Slow Curse!

Red Light fell, and the Lava Giant's speed slowed in an instant.

All Skeleton Mages except those of the Fire Element were released.

Wind, Water, and Lightning elements swept over the sky and earth.

"Throw!"

As the Skeleton Mage appeared, the Skeleton Warriors also threw corpses toward the Lava Giant.

All actions were completed within a second.

The will and the skeletons coordinated perfectly.

At this point, the Palace Guard corpses' life force was at most a quarter of what it was at death.

Fortunately, the Corpse Explosion Skill could Amplify damage by 750%, still dealing considerable damage.

The corpses became hidden weapons, matching Jiang Chen's Corpse Explosion Skill rhythm, flying one after another.

Explosions sounded rhythmically.

One after another.

The Lava Giant was dazed by the blasts; each explosion inflicted terrifying damage on it.

The Skeleton Mage's skill damage was not weak, but compared with the Corpse Explosion damage, it was a bit underwhelming.

The Lava Giant let out an earth-shattering wail.

Its single eye showed fear; if bombarded like this, it would die.

But it could not stop it.

Skill: Volcanic Eruption!

Skill: Death Line!

Skill: Lava Jet!

The three signature moves were used simultaneously

The ground trembled, flames filled the sky, and magma washed the earth.

Yet Jiang Chen's expression remained calm, and the skeletons felt no pain nor fear.

Whatever needs to be done, is done.

When all the corpses had been detonated, the Lava Giant was already on the brink of death.

The magma on its body was blown away, revealing a pitch‑black stone body.

The Skeleton Warriors had already surged to its front, unleashing skills that dealt a Lethal Strike.

"Killed Lava Giant, Experience +3,800,000"

"Obtained Lava Strong Bow"

"Obtained Flame Crystal Shard"

"Lava Strong Bow: Gold Tier Weapon, All Attributes +400, Agility +300, Bow and Arrow Skill Amplify 45%, Fire Element Bow Skill extra Amplify 15%"

"Flame Crystal Shard: Three Flame Crystal Shards can be fused into a Flame Crystal"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

His expectation succeeded.

Not a single Skeleton was killed, and the injuries were not severe.

Given the current situation, they could replace the Skeletons and run the Instance again.

This batch of Skeletons can first heal in the Summon Queue.

The two batches can alternate; unless his own stamina fails, there is no need for rest.

This greatly boosts efficiency, so even if they need to run it a dozen times, a few days are enough.

Another Flame Crystal Shard was obtained.

Jiang Chen, satisfied, exited the Instance.

In the Dungeon Hall, the bells rang loudly.

Three booming sounds signaled that the Instance had set a New Record.

Strangely, those outside the Instance were unhurried, even wearing an expression of having foreseen it and expecting it.

Though there had been speculation, they still wanted to see.

A group of people walked into the Dungeon Hall to investigate.

Those discussing Instance strategies outside the Dungeon Hall

Chen Ziming frowned.

"Who created the New Record? Go check."

A subordinate immediately ran into the Dungeon Hall.

A moment later, that person returned with an incredulous expression.

"Young Master, it's Jiang Chen; he created the New Record."

What!

Chen Ziming sprang up in a flash.

Jiang Chen hadn't just entered the Instance a short while ago?

How could he possibly set a New Record?

Did he just exit the Fire God Palace Instance and go to another lower‑Difficulty Instance?

Chen Ziming, skeptical, personally ran into the Dungeon Hall.

At this moment, the area before the Fire God Palace Instance was packed with people.

Each one wore astonishment.

"I told you, Jiang Dalao's second run of the Instance will definitely create a brand‑new record."

"Indeed, the second‑time record is an unshakable existence."

"Not necessarily; perhaps Jiang Dalao's third or fourth runs could break his own record."

"Exactly, only Jiang Dalao himself can break this record; no one else should even think of it."

Chen Ziming felt a sudden thump in his heart, an unpleasant feeling.

He didn't expect Jiang Chen to actually set a new record in the Fire God Palace.

Their twelve‑person team couldn't clear the Fire God Palace, yet Jiang Chen did it alone, and so quickly.

The gap, is it really that huge?

Praise and worship for Jiang Chen kept echoing in his ears; the more he heard, the more uncomfortable and distressed he felt.

Chen Ziming's face grew increasingly grim.

He could not accept this outcome.

Jiang Chen's New Record shone brightly above the Instance.

Time: 1 hour 12 minutes 34 seconds.

A terrifying Score, a record no one can break.

It had held a Nightmare Level record for five years.

Record, over 8 hours.

Jiang Chen's current New Record, Hell Difficulty, 1 hour 12 minutes.

He didn't know how many times faster it was.

This fully proves how strong Jiang Chen's actual combat power is.

It cannot be gauged by level at all.

At this moment, the Vortex Light flickered, and Jiang Chen appeared outside the Instance.

But the next second, the Instance Vortex glowed again.

Jiang Chen returned to the Instance again.

Reset the cooldown, continue grinding the Instance.

He must run it at least fifteen times to gather three Flame Crystals.

"Just came out and went back in, Jiang Dalao is really diligent."

"Grinding alone, aren't you tired? Not even taking a break?"

"Maybe that's the difference between a Boss and me."

"I recall Jiang Dalao was the same before; when he led others through the Tyrant Desert Instance, they kept grinding continuously without any rest."

Anyway, if there's ever an Instance you can't get through, you can try looking for Jiang Dalao, and there's no Instance he can't clear.

All the topics revolve around Jiang Chen, all praising Jiang Chen.

Chen Ziming no longer wants to listen.

Walking out of the Dungeon Hall, he feels disheartened.

His confidence has taken a severe blow, and he can't recover for a while.

Brimming with confidence, he leads a full squad of twelve over, fully prepared, hoping to set a new Instance record.

But halfway through, he is forced to quit, ending in failure.

Jiang Chen, in response, teaches him a lesson.

This silent contrast hurts him more than a direct slap.

A feeling of utter resentment blocks his chest; he wants to vomit but can't.

Chen Ziming, disheartened, sighs, "Let's go back."

After speaking, he doesn't wait for his subordinates, immediately activates the Teleport Stone and leaves the Dungeon Hall.

Staying any longer would only bring further humiliation, and

What's the point of staying?
