Chapter 26: Chapter 26, clearing the nightmare-level copy in half an hour, this speed is too fast._1 Li Yunxi said mockingly, "Who knows what kind of person thinks they can single-handedly clear the altar; it’s simply courting death. They must think they’re an SS-grade Class." "They should be out soon enough, no need to worry." *** Jiang Chen entered the Underworld Altar. It was the same routine, the same formula: find six keys and then defeat the Underworld King to gain the clearance experience. The less time taken, the higher the clearance rewards. Last time, it had taken Jiang Chen a full day and night to clear it. Now that he knew the strategy, it was much simpler. He went straight for the six keys, one-shotting the minor monsters along the way. Jiang Chen executed Flash in the Void, his speed incredibly fast. WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH... All one could see was a figure flickering in the cave; wherever Jiang Chen’s eyes landed, that was where he flashed to. The speed was simply boundless. First cave cleared... key obtained. Second cave cleared... key obtained. Third cave cleared... key obtained. In half an hour, Jiang Chen madly slaughtered his way through, found all six keys, and headed for the Underworld King. There were still the five Underworld Guardians. [Underworld Guardian] [Level: 16] [HP: 10,000/10,000] [Physical Attack Power: 100-120] [Physical Defense: 100-120] [Magic Defense: 80-90] [Profile: Warriors guarding the Ghost King, possessing formidable defensive abilities; their blades can unleash Sword Qi, sweeping through enemies.] [Ghost King (Nightmare-level BOSS)] [Level: 20] [HP: 24,000/24,000] [Physical Attack Power: 150-200] [Magic Attack Power: 150-200] [Physical Defense: 150-200] [Magic Defense: 150-200] [Profile: The ruler of the Ghost Altar, unbeatable by anyone unless they break the Defense Cover.] With a flash, Jiang Chen appeared beside the Underworld Guardians, activated Sword Qi Surging, and in an instant, all five Underworld Guards were dead. As for the Underworld King. Jiang Chen lured him to the side and inserted the keys. [Congratulations on clearing the Underworld Altar, leveled up by 1, gained experience +40,000... Rating: SS-grade] Jiang Chen smiled; he had indeed leveled up. And he had gained 40,000 experience points. *** Watching the time, Li Yunxi frowned. "Half an hour has passed, and this guy hasn’t come out yet. Is he playing around inside?" Shangguan Yunqiu also frowned; the dungeon had a clearance time. The Underworld Dungeon’s clearance time was three days; this guy couldn’t possibly stay in there for three days, could he? They certainly didn’t have three days to wait. Just then, with a flash of white light, Jiang Chen appeared outside the Underworld Altar. "Finally deigned to come out." "He must have failed in the end, daring to challenge a Nightmare-level boss alone; it’s no different from suicide." "This guy is wearing a mask; is he too ashamed to show his face?" "I thought he’d be in there for three days and nights, but he came out in half an hour. He was probably scared out." A wave of mockery followed... Li Yunxi said mockingly, "Pretty brave, daring to enter the Underworld Altar alone. That’s a Nightmare-level dungeon." Jiang Chen said nothing and walked away. Such a pity... The cooldown is eight hours; otherwise, I could have run it again. Jiang Chen walked out of the cave, unimpeded by anyone. Shangguan Yunqiu said, "Let’s enter the altar." "Okay." Shangguan Yunqiu clicked on the altar and was completely stunned. Li Yunxi asked in confusion, "Why aren’t you going in?" "There’s one more run left." "One more run for what?" Shangguan Yunqiu exclaimed, "There’s only one more clear needed, and the Underworld Altar will be fully opened!" The team behind him was completely baffled. "How come there’s only one run left? Wasn’t it two?" "Could it be that someone has cleared it already?" "Could that black-robed man really have cleared it just now? But he only went in half an hour ago." "That’s absolutely impossible! Who could clear the Underworld Altar in half an hour, especially a Nightmare-level Underworld Altar?" "Just who is this person? Could he possibly be one of the legendary SS-grade Classes?" The twenty-member team was at a loss for words. Someone had entered a Nightmare-level Underworld Altar and cleared it in just half an hour; nobody would believe it if they heard it. This altar also has a level restriction; only newcomers below Level 20 can enter it. Shangguan Yunxue appeared to be lost in thought. Though the black-robed man wore a mask and his face was not clear, she felt a familiar sensation, as if she had seen him somewhere before. She cried out, "Could it be him?" Shangguan Yunqiu looked at his sister. "You’ve seen him?" "Yesterday, when I went to grind monsters in the wild with Uncle, I encountered a black-robed man who looked very similar to the one just now." "Then do you know what his Class is?" "Swordsman." Swordsman? Are you joking? Since when did Swordsmen become so powerful? One person actually soloed the Nightmare-level Underworld Altar! "Shangguan Yunxue, that black-robed man definitely isn’t a Swordsman. You know that Swordsman is just a trash Class." "It absolutely can’t be a Swordsman. We wouldn’t even recruit a Swordsman into our team." "Swordsmen have no defensive power, less attacking power than Warriors, weaker defense than Knights, and less Agility than Assassins; they’re just a burden." "The person who can solo a Nightmare-level Underworld Altar definitely isn’t a Swordsman." "It’s very likely he has a hidden Class." Shangguan Yunxue smiled. "I must have been mistaken." Shangguan Yunxue thought to herself, It’s very likely him. He just hid his Class. If he’s a new student, I’ll definitely meet him during the assessments. I’ve remembered you, Jiang Chen. Shangguan Yunqiu said, "Let’s go. If he can clear it alone, so can we." WHOOSH... A flash of white light, and several people entered the dungeon. Jiang Chen walked toward the Naga Fissure. Looking at his badge: [Name: Jiang Chen] [Occupation: Swordsman] [Level: 19] [Experience: 52,000/100,000] [Constitution: 41] [Strength: 17] [Spirit: 44] [Agility: 11] [Equipment: Blood Long Sword (Silver), [Underworld Robe], [Underworld Boots], [Underworld Pants], [Underworld Ring], [Underworld Bracelet], [Underworld Belt]...] [Space: 7] [Skills: Basic Swordsmanship: Concentrates all inner force and sends out a sword aura straight ahead to attack the enemy within a 40-meter range, taking 0.3 seconds to gather power, consumes 1 MP.

Grinding dungeons was indeed the fastest way to gain experience. Time to keep leveling up.
