Chapter 563: Half an Hour Clear, Truly Divine General Jiang

He actually obtained a title again; it's been a long time since that happened.

In Jiang Chen's memory, he has earned titles twice: once in that arduous Dragon Race Guard Instance, and another as a gift from the Shenlong Empire's military. The first title played a pivotal role on his path of growth, bringing him many conveniences.

As for the second, although its attributes were not ideal, he politely declined, because he knows some titles are not merely attribute bonuses but honor and recognition.

Since his second Job Change, he feels as if he has become detached from this world. All equipment, all titles, are irrelevant to him. He feels like a lonely traveler, walking alone in this world. As to why this situation arose, Jiang Chen cannot explain it himself.

Now, he has obtained another title—Lonely War God. This title's attributes are extremely strong: all attributes +50000, all skills +2.

Jiang Chen looks at the title, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes. He does not care about the attribute bonuses; he values the all‑skills +2 attribute. To him, it is a huge temptation.

He tries to activate the title, but the result disappoints him. No matter how he commands it, the title is like a Light Orb, quietly lingering in his Spirit world, unable to be activated.

He cannot use it in battle, nor can he take it out to show others.

"What a pity." Jiang Chen sighs, feeling a bit helpless. Though the title is powerful, it cannot be put to use. He feels like a traveler possessing a treasure he cannot open; that helplessness and frustration are hard to bear.

Jiang Chen lets out a light sigh, gazing at this title with such strong attributes, and can't help feeling moved. Its attributes are almost equivalent to the Buff from two BOSS Jewelry, and whichever class possesses it can greatly boost combat power.

Yet it fell upon someone like him who cannot use equipment or titles—truly a bit comical.

However, on second thought, perhaps only he can own this title. Lonely War God, the name itself conveys aloofness and strength; it is not something just anyone can easily obtain.

He believes that, apart from himself, no one in the All-Human Race could Solo Run this Instance and obtain the title.

The hourglass on Jiang Chen has long disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable aura; this is the Instance's recognition of him, and his qualification for the next stage. He looks up at the Mountain peak, clouds swirling, but knows it is not yet time.

Now, what he needs to do is calmly level up, enhancing his strength.

He will raise his level as much as possible, making his soul stronger, so that in the upcoming Soul‑Melting Grand Array he can gain more benefits.

As Jiang Chen kills the BOSS, the vortex outside the Instance suddenly bursts with dazzling light, a seven‑colored beam shooting straight into the sky, blooming fireworks in the air. People from various bases look up at the sky, chatting.

"Another team passed the assessment, impressive."

"I wonder which faction's team passed so quickly."

"Those big factions and big guilds have a complete strategy; they send powerful elders with newcomers through the Instance, so the success rate is naturally high."

"Envy, that's the benefit of big factions; we solo players have it so hard."

Qiao Zhixin looks at the sky's light, smiles, "Great, Jiang Chen passed."

Huo Jifeng exclaims in surprise, "Impossible, Divine General Jiang entered and it was less than half an hour!"

Qiao Zhixin nods seriously, "Nothing's impossible; his speed clearing Instances is always fast, basically never exceeds half an hour."

Huo Jifeng still can't believe, "I still think it's impossible…" before he finishes, Jiang Chen's figure appears before them, proving Qiao Zhixin's words with action.

The seven‑colored afterglow in the sky hasn't faded; when Jiang Chen's figure walks out of the Instance, that glow lands precisely on him, making him look like a deity descended to the mortal world. Jiang Chen is not surprised; he takes out the Cooldown Talisman to reset the Instance, and steps into the challenge again.

People outside the Instance witness this, gape in disbelief. The one who passed the Tianshan God Palace Dungeon wasn't a powerful team, but a single person!

"One person!" someone shouts, and the whole base erupts.

"How is this possible, am I seeing things?"

"Does the Tianshan God Palace Dungeon now have a solo mode? This is absurd!"

"I don't believe it, I absolutely don't; no one in this world could Solo Run a Tianshan God Palace Dungeon!"

"I also don't believe it; even a regular Hell‑level Dungeon can't be soloed successfully!"

The base's chatter rises and falls, almost everyone can't believe it.

Some base leaders have to step forward to maintain order; though shocked, they remain calm.

They know the Tianshan God Palace Dungeon's rules have always been strict and fair, never erroneous. Several clever leaders have already begun seeking verification from outside, trying to figure out what's happening.

Ling Xuan also widens his eyes, full of disbelief, "This can't be, something's definitely wrong!"

Li Gang pats his shoulder, says gravely, "The Instance doesn't err; the seven‑colored afterglow landing on him shows he passed the test."

"We all know the Instance rules, never wrong." Li Gang continues, "And did you remember what the third young master of the Blue Leaf Guild called him just now?"

Ling Xuan's face looks uneasy, "I think he called him Jiang brother."

Li Gang smiles slightly, "His surname is Jiang; he's so young, you still can't guess his identity?"

Ling Xuan suddenly trembles all over, his face turns pale and he collapses to the ground, terrified.

Li Gang knows he has guessed Jiang Chen's identity, turns and walks away silently. Jiang Chen's identity is actually not hard to guess; with a few clues one can infer his true identity.

Thinking back to when he suggested Jiang Chen join the team to farm Instances, Li Gang can't help finding it amusing. What kind of identity does the other have, who would need his help? Truly self‑deluding.

The news spreads quickly among the bases; several leaders who know Jiang Chen compile the reports, finally confirming Jiang Chen's identity.

They each look shocked, whisper, "It's Divine General Jiang!"

"Divine General Jiang truly is extraordinary, soloing the Middle Stage Dungeon of Tianshan God Palace in under half an hour."

"This simply writes another chapter of history."

"I never expected that, in all these years here, the university would produce such an outstanding Heavenly Pride."

The speaker is the leader of the Shenlong University base, who has been stationed here for several years; Jiang Chen is his junior.

He feels immensely proud of his alma mater and the Human Race for cultivating such a Heavenly Pride.

The news of Jiang Chen soloing the Instance in half an hour spreads like wildfire throughout the base.

People, shocked, quickly accept this fact.

Since it was Jiang Chen who did it, it's perfectly normal.

As the youngest Divine General in Human Race history, his miracles are countless.

Adding another now is just icing on the cake.

Everyone's gaze focuses on the Instance vortex; they want to witness Jiang Chen resetting the record again.

Only about twenty‑something minutes later, with a twist of the Instance vortex, Jiang Chen's figure appears again before the crowd.

He looks carefree, as if what he just did was a trivial matter.

He casually resets the Instance, then steps into it again.

"26 minutes!" someone shouts loudly, timing, finding Jiang Chen took only 26 minutes from entering to exiting the Instance.

This speed left everyone dumbfounded.

It should be noted that most full squads of 24 people take over ten hours to clear this Instance.

Even those powerful squads find it hard to compress the time to under seven hours.

Yet Jiang Chen completed this feat in an astonishing 26 minutes.

The gap is so huge it already exceeds people's imagination.

Someone calculated that even a squad of 240 entering might not clear this Instance within half an hour.

"Indeed, Divine General Jiang, his strength is enough to slay gods!"

"With such combat power in a Level‑65 Instance, it would be unstoppable, unmatched!"

"Can't help but admit, this is the gap in strength."

"Having Divine General Jiang stationed is truly a blessing for our Shenlong Empire, and for the entire Human Race!"

Jiang Chen entered and exited the Instance repeatedly, eventually stabilizing at 25 minutes, each entry‑exit fluctuating by no more than ten seconds.

This shows his perfect control over the Instance's rhythm. Such control is even more awe‑inspiring than sheer combat power.

It indicates Jiang Chen's Skill usage has reached masterful levels, continuous battles having almost no effect on him.

Each time he walked out of the Instance, Jiang Chen appeared as calm as a cloud, as if the endless battles were merely everyday fare, showing no fatigue, as if he could keep grinding forever, until the end of time.

Thus, after half a day of relentless grinding, Jiang Chen emerged from the Instance bathed in the dazzling glow of his upgrade.
