Chapter 95: What a Joke, Entering Again

After leaving Hong Jishi's small courtyard, Jiang Chen teleported directly to Shenlong University.

Back in the dormitory, Jiang Chen summoned five Skeleton Warriors and then went straight to sleep.

After fighting in the Instance for over ten continuous hours, plus the fatigue from the scorching desert, his body and spirit both reached their limits.

He exchanged the Tyrant's Heart with Hong Jishi for a Basic Cooldown Talisman, and learned about the existence of the Otherworld Battlefield and how to earn Contribution Points.

Jiang Chen already understood what he should do next.

On his dormitory bed, Jiang Chen quickly fell into a deep sleep, breathing steadily, a smile on his lips, enjoying pleasant dreams.

However, in the Dungeon Hall, the situation was not quiet.

People were still coming and going, and many chose to form parties to run Instances at this hour.

The lights remained on, and the bustling scene inside the Dungeon Hall was no less lively than during the day.

At that moment, a sudden burst of light flared, and one silhouette after another began to appear in the Hall's teleportation portals.

After several dozen seconds, exactly forty people were teleported out.

These forty people emerged from the Instance, looking exhausted yet full of excitement.

The leading Knight shouted loudly, "I'm back!"

Everyone in the party wore excited smiles.

Someone in the Dungeon Hall recognized these people.

"Look, it's people from Baili Academy; they finally cleared it!"

"Seeing their jubilant faces, they must have successfully cleared the Tyrant Desert!"

"Ah, stop talking, they'll soon learn the truth and will all want to die!"

"Ah, it's also pitiful, they still thought they had already created"

"a new record!"

"It seems the people from Baili Academy are embarrassing themselves today."

Knight Liu Kaixuan stepped forward and proudly announced, "Our Baili Academy team has successfully reduced the completion time of the Baojun Shamo Fuben to 15 hours 58 minutes, creating a New Record! Baili Academy, mighty!"

His teammates shouted one after another, immersed in the excitement of victory.

However, Liu Kaixuan suddenly noticed something amiss.

Someone pointed at the Light Screen and said, "Team Leader, something seems off."

"Off? What's off?"

Liu Kaixuan was puzzled, wondering what was wrong.

Liu Kaixuan didn't understand; the Instance time had been continuously counting, so why was there something off?

He turned his head toward the Light Screen, wanting to verify.

However, when he saw the message about the Tyrant's Heart dropping, his expression instantly became unnatural.

"What, the Tyrant's Heart dropped? When did that happen?"

He hurriedly asked, "We didn't get the Tyrant's Heart, did we? Who obtained it?"

Everyone was puzzled, because none of them had obtained the item.

Liu Kaixuan quickly checked the rankings, and the result sent a chill down his spine.

Their team name glaringly appeared in second place.

In first place was: "Jiang Chen, Level 21, 14 hours 11 minutes 43 seconds"

Liu Kaixuan completely collapsed; a single person, Level 21, managed to finish the Instance in just 14 hours—this Score was simply inconceivable.

A cold shiver surged straight to his brain.

"This can't be!"

Liu Kaixuan let out a strange howl.

He could hardly believe it.

Their team had made thorough preparations, the best class composition, the best gear, and unified command.

History

After countless hardships they finally killed the B0SS, compressing the time to 16 hours.

Although they didn't obtain the Tyrant's Heart, they still broke the previous record.

That was already a very remarkable feat.

But…

But their efforts were apparently suppressed by a single person.

How could this be possible.

"This can't be!"

"How could this be possible!"

Liu Kaixuan looked like a madman; he could not accept this fact.

But the fact is the fact.

People in the Dungeon Hall all smiled brightly at them.

Everyone from Baili Academy felt that this guy named Jiang Chen had trampled them harshly.

Their faces burned hot, truly embarrassing.

Some people already bowed their heads in shame.

"Team Leader, let's go."

"Let's head back first."

"If there's anything, we'll discuss it when we get back."

Liu Kaixuan finally calmed down, and with a hint of unwillingness looked again at the Light Screen on the Instance.

"Let's go."

The people from Baili Academy immediately used Teleport Stones to leave, and in an instant were gone cleanly.

Laughter instantly erupted in the Dungeon Hall.

"I really didn't expect Baili Academy to get slapped twice in one day."

"Jiang Chen didn't say anything; he just did it."

"So funny, did you see Chen Ziming's expression today? It was truly hilarious."

"Today he was completely slapped, and it was a miserable beating."

"His face didn't swell, but his heart did."

A bunch of people watching the drama aren't afraid of big trouble.

Anyway, this will spread across the whole University tomorrow, and then Baili Academy will truly become famous.

Everyone in the University knows how arrogant Chen Ziming of Baili Academy is, relying on his grandfather being the academy dean, and basically looking down on ordinary students.

This time, he came so high‑profile, and

ended up walking away all dejected.

It made many people witness a joke.

Sleep until naturally waking.

Jiang Chen slept comfortably.

When he woke, it was already 10 a. m. the next morning.

His stomach started rumbling.

After getting up, Jiang Chen felt that his whole body had fully recovered.

Except that his Spiritual Power hadn't completely filled, everything else returned to peak condition.

He stretched lazily, washed up, and ate.

Seeing a huge spread of food in the storage space naturally made him think of Lin Cai'er.

That mischievous little elf girl, he didn't know where she had gone.

After eating, Jiang Chen activated a Teleport Stone to go to the Dungeon Hall.

Although Hong Jishi had said that Desert Fruit can be encountered but not obtained.

He still wanted to try his luck.

If he could encounter Desert Fruit, then he was confident he could raise the Slow Curse and Bone Armor skills to max level in a short time.

Hong Jishi's answer was that aside from innate skills, all other skills require personal cultivation and cannot level up automatically with the character level.

Yet his Summon Skeleton Mage skill, after reaching max level, actually did level up together with his character level.

Jiang Chen couldn't determine whether the Summon Skeleton Mage skill was special, or his profession was special.

So he could only verify again.

"You are Jiang Chen?"

A voice interrupted Jiang Chen's thoughts.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw a person standing at the Entrance of the Dungeon Hall, watching him.

Jiang Chen didn't recognize the person, but gave a hum: "Anything?"

The person said, "Senior Chen Ziming wants to see you; come with me."

The tone carried an inexplicable arrogance.

Especially after he saw Jiang Chen's attire and confirmed Jiang Chen wasn't from the academy faction, so he must be an ordinary student.

His expression

became even more arrogant.

Jiang Chen gave him a glance, thinking the person was a bit unhinged.

Passing by him, he entered the Dungeon Hall, and a light voice floated, "Let him come by himself."

The person widened his eyes, watching Jiang Chen ignore him.

"What nerve! Do you even know who Chen Ziming is?"

The person let out an angry shout.

"Don't know!"

Jiang Chen had already arrived in front of the Tyrant Desert Instance.

He wanted to enter the Instance, but found the cooldown was as high as 240 hours—exactly ten days.

Jiang Chen naturally couldn't wait; not even ten hours would do.

He directly spent 2000 points to purge the cooldown, then spent 500 points to enter the Instance.

Now he still has 125,000 points left, financially well‑off.

The person's face flushed red then white, teeth clenched in anger.

Jiang Chen really gave him no face at all.

Jiang Chen's entry into the Instance was seen by others, who all showed surprised expressions.

"Good boy, Jiang Chen went into the Tyrant Desert again."

"He won't set a New Record again, will he?"

"Very likely; Mutated Forest and Spider Nest are the same—creating two records back‑to‑back. The first one is understandable, the second gives no chance."

"I get it, the first time you're unfamiliar with the Instance, the second time you're proficient, so the Score naturally improves."

Many people discussed, their eyes full of curiosity.

I want to see if Jiang Chen will create a new record again.

Large-scale Dungeon differs from ordinary Instance; it can easily take more than ten hours, and they don't have to rush.

Just wait for the bell to ring.

For some reason, they are completely confident that Jiang Chen will create a new record.

That person saw Jiang Chen entering the Instance.

Then he also teleported away.

Returning to Baili Academy, he met Chen Ziming.

"Jiang Chen wouldn't come," he said, "If you want to see him, go yourself."

Chen Ziming sat in the Academy, frowning, "That guy has a big ego."

"Indeed, very impolite."

Chen Ziming snorted coldly, "Don't think being able to Solo Run the Tyrant Desert makes you great; after all, it's just a low‑level Instance."

"He doesn't understand the changes in professions after Second Transcendence; a class that was strong before Second Transcendence can become very weak after it."

"I invited him, to give him face, to give him a chance."

"Since that's the case, just ignore him; if we meet him outside later, give him a lesson."

Chen Ziming's arrogance is known throughout the entire university.

The embarrassing incident at Baili Academy yesterday has already spread throughout the whole university this morning.

Chen Ziming has no face to go out.

He harbors great hatred toward Jiang Chen in his heart.

To save face, the best way is to bring Jiang Chen under his command.

But Jiang Chen never gives him a chance.

Within the university, he couldn't actually strike Jiang Chen.

Otherwise, even if his grandfather is the dean, he couldn't protect him.

If it were in the wild…

Then that's that.

The Tyrant Desert remains the same.

Yellow sand flies, the scorching sun hangs overhead.

"Hope the map isn't random."

135 Skeleton Warriors and 70 Skeleton Mages appear simultaneously, advancing in one direction.

The desert ghost trees along the way are almost instantly killed.

Skeleton Warriors are not stingy with their Skills.

Skeleton Mages' Skill speed is faster, delivering ranged attacks.

Monsters are instantly slain one by one; after just a little over an hour, an oasis appears in sight.

A smile appears at the corner of his mouth, "The map hasn't changed."

Hope the luck still

can be as good as last time!
