Chapter 328: Re‑entering the Dungeon Hall, Causing a Sensation
Jiang Chen's appearance suddenly quieted the Dungeon Hall.
"It's Jiang Chen; he's back."
"Jiang Chen? He's a Divine General."
"The youngest Divine General of the All-Human Race, who single‑handedly wiped out a ten‑thousand‑person Ya Long Army."
"Although his combat power is lower than other Divine Generals, his mass‑kill capability is truly strong."
"Invincible at his tier..."
"What does 'invincible at his tier' mean? A Level 37 solo duel against a Level 70 Dragon Race, cleanly, and even while the Undead Legion was sealed."
"I think after the Divine General Jiang reaches Third Transcendence, he could solo duel the Demon King."
Various discussions reached Si Tu Yu's ears.
Si Tu Yu finally understood…
It turned out that the guy who had been ignoring her was the recently skyrocketing Jiang Chen.
She had always thought Jiang Chen was just a hollow name, how could he be as powerful as the rumors claimed.
Especially later, the rumors grew more exaggerated, reaching an almost incomprehensible level.
But now, her view has become somewhat shaken.
Being chosen by Ao God as a disciple naturally marks one as a top prodigy, and a Divine-level Strongman is not blind.
"So you are Jiang Chen," Si Tu Yu said, standing before Jiang Chen and blocking his path.
It must be said, Si Tu Yu is indeed very beautiful, with an extremely refined aura.
Almost every virtue of a woman can be found in her.
What a pity...
"Excuse me," Jiang Chen said calmly; to Si Tu Yu, he was just a stranger.
"Whether you're beautiful or not has nothing to do with me."
Si Tu Yu, angry to the point of bewilderment, said, "Why are you like this?"
She felt her attitude was already good enough.
This time she truly didn't put on airs; she swore she hadn't.
But Jiang Chen still wore a look of unwillingness to engage with her.
She even felt slightly aggrieved.
Jiang Chen sighed, "Excuse me, I really need to go level‑up. If there's anything, can we talk after I finish leveling?"
"You..." Si Tu Yu realized; this guy truly wasn't good with words.
After a moment's thought, she changed her approach, "Which Instance are you going to run? I'll team up with you."
Jiang Chen shook his head, "I'll solo run."
Si Tu Yu persisted, "Solo running on Normal Difficulty levels up very slowly."
"I'll solo run Hell."
Si Tu Yu was completely defeated and couldn't believe it.
She couldn't believe Jiang Chen could solo run a Hell Instance.
She was about to say something, but found Jiang Chen had already bypassed her and entered the Dungeon Hall.
Jiang Chen knew her identity: Empire Princess, daughter of a Divine-level Strongman.
Born of noble lineage and naturally arrogant, arguing with such a person is unnecessary and too troublesome.
Si Tu Yu hurriedly chased after him, "Who are you trying to fool?"
Jiang Chen ignored her again.
This time, Jiang Chen had already decided on the target Instance.
What he said earlier was just plain truth.
Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter!
Jiang Chen went straight to the Water God Courtyard Instance and glanced at the time.
It was a Level 37 Instance; the record had been set three months ago.
Nightmare-level Difficulty, 1 hour 08 minutes 22 seconds.
From this record one can infer that the Instance difficulty shouldn't be very high.
But on second thought, Jiang Chen realized he had gone off track.
A Level 37 Instance allows professionals of Level 32 to 42 to enter.
This team clearly consists of High-level Professionals above Level 40.
After Second Transcendence, attributes surged, skills were enhanced, and all equipment was switched to Platinum Equipment.
Combat naturally became very fast.
And the difficulty is only Nightmare,
not hard.
Seeing Jiang Chen standing before the Water God Courtyard Instance, Si Tu Yu said, "You're also doing an elemental Instance? I'm doing this too, really, we can team up."
In that moment she strained to set aside all her pride; she felt she had never had such patience before.
She was just too curious about Jiang Chen.
Being the All-Human Race's youngest Divine General and a disciple of Ao God, just these two titles gave Jiang Chen a mysterious Aura.
Si Tu Yu really wanted to investigate, to satisfy her curiosity.
Jiang Chen said, "The Instance might upgrade soon; don't enter for now."
After speaking, Jiang Chen had already vanished and entered the Instance.
Si Tu Yu was momentarily stunned, "What do you mean, what Instance Upgrade?"
"He really went into the Instance alone… is he doing a Solo Run on Normal Difficulty?"
Jiang Chen's words weren't meant for just her alone.
Many people understood Jiang Chen's meaning; the earlier "Fire God Palace" Instance had indeed undergone an Instance Upgrade, hadn't it?
It seemed to have appeared right after Jiang Chen entered the Instance.
In that case, the Instance Upgrade was all orchestrated by Jiang Chen.
With that, the entire Dungeon Hall started a heated discussion again.
What Si Tu Yu heard were all guesses about how long Jiang Chen would take to clear the Instance.
Some even opened a betting pool.
Si Tu Yu asked curiously, "Has he really always been doing Solo Runs?"
The beautiful asker always enjoys certain privileges; someone immediately replied, "Not always, but mostly Solo Runs, I guess."
Another instantly retorted, "What do you mean 'mostly'? It's always Solo Runs, okay? The 'Tyrant Desert' Instance is a team of 1 leading 39, earning points."
"What
…earning points, that's Divine General Jiang doing a good deed. If not for him, I couldn't finish my Instance Quest."
"Exactly, you have no idea how long we've been stuck on this task."
"You don't know what record Divine General Jiang will create this time."
"It must be another unprecedented terrifying record."
A group of people had already developed a mysterious trust in Jiang Chen.
Through their accounts, Si Tu Yu gradually learned that Jiang Chen wasn't talking nonsense; he truly was Solo Running.
Several Instances in the Dungeon Hall have his records.
Never mind other Instances, even the "Tyrant Desert" Large-scale Dungeon can be Solo Run.
Si Tu Yu also couldn't help but be impressed.
This isn't something you can breeze through; it's a symbol of real strength.
She later learned from many trainees how Jiang Chen cleared an Instance with a 1 leading 39 level party…
In the end, Si Tu Yu summed up in one sentence: "This guy is a pervert."
Even among all existing Divine-level Strongmen, each one, none were as perverted as Jiang Chen in their youth.
Jiang Chen created one record after another, a history.
Si Tu Yu felt that Jiang Chen would inevitably become a Divine-level Strongman in the future.
In the "Water God Courtyard" Instance, the scenery is beautiful and the temperature pleasant.
Jiang Chen stood within a flowing water courtyard, with a stone pillar in the center and waterfalls surrounding it.
The Water Element was more abundant than ever, and unusually active.
Being inside the Instance felt like entering the world of the Water Element.
He quickly recalled the Instance Upgrade process of the earlier "Fire God Palace".
To trigger an Instance Upgrade, one must deliver a fierce impact on the Instance within a short time.
In other words, kill fast enough.
A monster composed solely of Water Element was leisurely
drifting back and forth in the courtyard.
Their forms resembled clumps of water, without hands, feet, or eyes.
"Spring Water Sprite (Enhanced Elite Monster)"
"Level: 37"
"Strength: 14000"
"Agility: 6000"
"Spirit: 10000"
"Constitution: 10000"
"Skill: Envelop"
"Trait: Immune to Water Element attacks, immune to physical attacks."
A Nightmare Level monster whose attributes aren't strong.
It is simply immune to Water Element and physical attacks.
Only non‑Water Skeleton Mages can damage them.
A chilling wind howled, skeletons appeared, swiftly occupying the courtyard space.
Nineteen Undead Legions, accompanied by a teeth‑aching crack, surged forward at speed.
The Spring Water Sprites reacted quickly; their attack method was very peculiar.
They had no hands or feet; the whole water mass pounced onto a Skeleton Warrior, wrapping its head.
Then the Skeleton Warrior continuously suffered damage.
The damage wasn't great, and the Skeleton Warrior didn't mind.
They themselves aren't afraid of physical attacks; the Skeleton Warrior couldn't harm them.
Non‑Water Skeleton Mages kept attacking, swiftly clearing them away.
Now the number of Skeleton Mages has exceeded 3,600, and even non‑Water Skeleton Mages are close to 3,000.
A Level‑39 Skeleton Mage annihilates a mere Level‑37 Nightmare Dungeon Elite Monster instantly.
The team never lingered; the advance speed was lightning fast.
Elemental-type monsters have no corpses.
Jiang Chen also cannot use Corpse Explosion.
But the speed is now sufficient; using Corpse Explosion or not makes little difference.
Wherever the Undead Legion goes, monsters are swiftly cleared.
Drop junk.
Push straight through, instant kill.
Level 39 runs a Level 37 Instance, and it's only Nightmare Difficulty; for Jiang Chen it offers no challenge at all.
