Chapter 87: When He Achieves Greatness, It Is the Time to Write History

The arrogant, domineering shout rang out, instantly rushing and reaching the crowd in a flash.

Jiang Chen swiftly pulled Chu Yao aside, averting a collision.

A Knight clad in full armor strode forward with a fierce gait, a ferocious look on his face.

If Jiang Chen hadn't reacted quickly, he might have directly injured Chu Yao.

Behind the Knight trailed a large group, apparently students from the Bai Li Academy.

The Knight was tall and mighty, nearly two meters tall, exuding a strong oppressive presence.

He glanced at Jiang Chen, his gaze full of contempt.

Then he lifted his head proudly and announced loudly, "Our Bai Li Academy will challenge the Baojun Shamo Fuben today, breaking the existing record."

The Academy students behind him echoed, shouting loudly.

It turned out the record for the Baojun Shamo Fuben had stood for four years, set by the Feilong Xueyuan.

In four years, no one has broken it, which shows the Instance's high Difficulty.

Chu Yao whispered to Jiang Chen, "There have been rumors these past days that the Bai Li Academy is going to challenge the Tyrant Instance."

"I heard they prepared thoroughly, and even several core students kept their level at Level 30."

"Some high‑level students in the Academy also prepared a full set of Golden Equipment for them."

Jiang Chen understood after hearing that; he grasped their plan.

Challenging the existing record not only yields massive points and Contribution Points, but also a supreme honor.

The Academy's students will go all out for this glory, and it can also serve as a stepping stone into the Top College.

The Knight, representing the Bai Li Academy, high‑profilely

announced that they would challenge the Baojun Shamo Fuben, aiming to break the record set by Feilong Xueyuan four years ago.

Then he looked at Jiang Chen provocatively, his voice arrogantly saying, "Classmate, please move aside."

Jiang Chen didn't move; he replied unflinchingly, "Sorry, I was here first."

In his words, he gave the opposing Knight no respect at all.

The Knight frowned slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed because Jiang Chen gave him no face.

After a brief thought, the Knight seemed to have realized something.

He sneered, "Hm, I get it, classmate. You're blocking the way, trying to attract our attention—are you hoping to join us in a team to solo run the Tyrant Desert?"

Then he chuckled, "Unfortunately not; we each have important matters now, so we can't take you, nor do we want to!"

Jiang Chen was left speechless by that; the guy was so self‑satisfied, filling in all that without Jiang even speaking.

The Knight also thought Jiang Chen was utterly clueless; they arrived at the Dungeon Hall today, majestic as ever—normally everyone would at least give them some face, right?

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, he couldn't do anything improper to Jiang Chen.

He decided to stop entangling with Jiang Chen.

"You're all ready, we're entering the Tyrant Desert now!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen turned to Chu Yao and said, "Senior, I'm heading into the Instance too!"

Chu Yao nodded, "Alright, be extremely careful!"

Jiang Chen vanished on the spot, and the vortex of the Baojun Shamo Fuben suddenly glowed, indicating someone had entered.

The Knight couldn't help but twitch his mouth corner.

He muttered, "That guy really went in!"

"But going in alone like that, that's courting death, kid!"

The teammates present shouted, "He actually dared to solo challenge the Tyrant Desert, that's way too over‑ambitious!"

The Dungeon Hall boiled over instantly because of Jiang Chen's solo entry into the Tyrant Desert.

"Whoa, he really went in!"

"He even dares to solo the Tyrant Desert, truly a Boss."

"Never heard of anyone soloing a Large-scale Dungeon."

"If he succeeds, he'll make history."

"It's hard; I doubt it can succeed. I've been to the Tyrant Desert once; it's too dangerous—one slip and you're dead."

"If it were someone else, it definitely wouldn't work; it's hard to say."

The Knight leading the Bai Li Academy team twitched his mouth corner.

Their Bai Li Academy team was fully prepared to set a record.

They ignored that, yet now focus on a solo little guy.

He saw Jiang Chen still wearing Silver Equipment.

While he himself had a full set of Golden Equipment.

At that moment, everyone from the Bai Li Academy felt a bit embarrassed.

It felt like a protagonist in a drama whose aura was stolen by a supporting character—honestly, it was just too painful......

The Knight sensed his momentum waning and knew he couldn't wait any longer.

"Enter the Instance!"

He shouted loudly, and the Bai Li Academy students rushed over, teleporting into the Instance.

Before entering, the Knight glanced at the Light Screen: "16 hours 45 minutes 18 seconds—I will definitely break this record."

The Tyrant Desert is a Large-scale Dungeon, already at Level 25, so the fee naturally skyrockets.

When Jiang Chen entered, he paid

500 points.

If he wants to purge the cooldown, it requires 2000 points.

If you repeatedly run this Instance, one run gives 2,500 points, four runs give 10,000 points.

Jiang Chen felt for the first time that his remaining 120,000 points might not last long.

So the points are that fragile.

"I hope the reward for breaking the record will be better."

The hot wind sweeps, raising endless yellow sand, the blazing sun overhead, scorching light, and the ever‑rising temperature all tell him the environment here is harsh.

Not far away, a stretch of sand dunes blocks the view.

Jiang Chen discovers he is in a basin surrounded by sand dunes.

Skeleton Warriors appear in massive numbers; a full 125 Skeleton Warriors sprint toward all directions.

The terrain layout also appears in his mind.

Jiang Chen climbs a dune and sees an endless Desert.

He has no sense of direction.

The scorching sun hangs directly overhead, unable to point the way.

This is an Instance, not the real world.

The sun in his mind won't move, so it can't point a direction at all.

He can't tell east, south, west, or north.

"According to the recorded 16 hours, the scale of this Instance will be unprecedented."

While thinking that, a Skeleton Warrior suddenly issues a warning.

Enemy encountered!

A dead branch suddenly leaps out of the Desert and entangles the Skeleton Warrior.

However, the Skeleton Warrior's Power attribute is as high as 12,000, and it swings its Blade to cut the branch clean, after which a huge tree bursts out of the Desert.

The tree towers ten meters high, with countless dead branches, and immediately begins wildly slashing the Skeleton Warrior.

The Skeleton Warrior's Blade swings nonstop, branches fly everywhere, and in an instant the tree is reduced to a single trunk, barely clinging to life.

Jiang Chen arrives, and before the tree dies, Detection Technique flies out in time.

"Desert Ghost Tree (Super-Enhanced Elite Monster)"

Desert Ghost Tree (Super-Enhanced Elite Monster)

"Power: 5000"

"Agility: 1000"

"Spirit: 2000"

"Constitution: 6000"

"Skill: Death Entangle"

Looking at these attributes, they are already very close to the pre‑upgrade Skeleton Warrior.

They're even stronger than the boss‑level Giant Python in the Mermaid Instance.

"Truly worthy of a Large-scale Dungeon."

"It's only an Ordinary Small Monster, yet its attributes can already compare with the Level 24 boss in the Mermaid Instance."

"If the Skeleton Warrior hadn't leveled up, dealing with it would still require some effort."

If it were a regular Skeleton Warrior before, it would have All Attributes of 6,200.

Handling it would naturally be fine, just would take some work.

It's like fighting a BOSS; you always have to slash more.

It wouldn't be as easy as now.

After Jiang Chen saw the opponent's attributes, he roughly formed a concept of the monsters in the Instance.

"Kill Level 25 Desert Ghost Tree, Experience +305,231"

"Obtain Desert Ghost Tree Branch ×5"

Not only are its attributes boss‑level, the experience is too.

A solo kill yields 300,000 experience, which is indeed a lot.

At this moment, the Skeleton Warrior's encounter connections are all Desert Ghost Trees.

This desert area seems to be the territory of the Desert Ghost Trees.

Their numbers aren't few; they're everywhere.

Usually hidden beneath the desert, they launch an attack instantly when someone passes.

Usually hidden beneath the Desert, it instantly launches an attack when someone passes.

Jiang Chen presses his palm down, encasing himself in Bone Armor.

A set of bone‑made armor appears on his body, emitting a silvery white glow in the sunlight.

Allowing the Skeleton Warrior to continue scouting in all directions.

The controllable range of Black Iron Grade Skeleton Warrior

is only 500 meters.

At Bronze Grade it reached 1,000 meters.

Now at Silver Grade, the range has reached 2,000 meters.

Jiang Chen advances along the path the Skeleton Warrior took.

More and more areas are detected.

The map in Jiang Chen's mind also becomes more complete.

The map in Jiang Chen's mind also became more complete as a result.

An hour has passed, and the range Jiang Chen detects keeps getting larger.

All around is yellow sand, with not a single other thing.

Aside from the yellow sand there are desert ghost trees, and no other monsters were encountered.

After two hours of detection, something different finally appeared in his mind.

Water? It seems to be water.

Having found water, Jiang Chen hurried over.

Standing on a sand dune, he saw an oasis.

The oasis Waterway stretched far into the distance, winding endlessly.

Without a word, he recalled the Skeleton Warriors in other directions.

A large batch of Skeleton Warriors instantly appeared before him.

Then they charged toward the oasis.

The appearance of an oasis in the Desert inevitably signals danger.

The Skeleton Warriors cleared the way.

The Skeleton Warriors just rushed to the edge of the oasis.

Whoosh!

The oasis erupted with a spray of water.

Then a multitude of scorpion-like monsters surged out of the oasis.

Jiang Chen was not flustered at all; he was still on the sand dune and hadn't gone down.

The Detection Technique blew by like a gentle breeze.

"Oasis Giant Scorpion"

"Level 25"

"Power: 4000"

"Agility: 3000"

"Spirit: 2000"

"Constitution: 6000"

"Skill: Poison Needle"

Each giant scorpion stands two meters tall, and with its tail its length exceeds five meters.

The tail bears massive poison needles, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The poison needles are not single but arranged like petals.

They emit a faint blue glow under the sunlight.

Hundreds of oasis

The giant scorpions charged at the Skeleton Warriors.

The Skeleton Warriors were not afraid at all; the Blade was already raised.

If it were another team, they would advance toward the oasis cautiously step by step.

They would lure the monsters gradually, then surround and annihilate them.

Not like Jiang Chen, who is simple and brutal.

Ten Skeleton Warriors simultaneously brandished their Blades, displaying a Skill.

Skill: Rage Power!

With attack power three times its own Strength attribute, they unleash Rage Power.

The Blade, bearing Red Light, blocked the sunlight.

One Oasis Giant Scorpion let out a wail and was instantly killed.

"Killed Level 25 Oasis Giant Scorpion, Experience +239850"

"Obtained sharp tail needles ×3"

Two seconds later, the other Oasis Giant Scorpions had already gathered.

Jiang Chen raised his palm.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

A wonderful resonant boom began to echo throughout the oasis!
