Chapter 111: A Dungeon in Complete Chaos, Searching for God Su!
Inside the dungeon.
"Is the drop rate of this lousy dungeon secretly modified?"
A freshman Shield Warrior wearing heavy armor cleaved a Level 17 [Mutated Goblin] with a single axe, and looking at the pathetic 17 academic credits, could not help but curse.
"This is pure imprisonment."
An Archer nearby put away a longbow and wiped the sweat from their face. "We've been fighting for almost an hour, and each of us has only scraped together five hundred academic credits. At this speed, let alone rushing for the leaderboard, when will we ever save enough academic credits to live in the Heavenly-grade dormitory?"
"Heavenly-grade? You're probably daydreaming."
The Mage in the party rolled their eyes and chugged a bottle of Elementary mana potion. "A Heavenly-grade dormitory is a detached villa complete with a Spirit-Gathering Array and an exclusive training room. With our damage, if we can manage to get an Earth-grade dormitory in this lifetime—four people cramming into a suite with an independent bathroom—I'll burn incense and thank the heavens."
"Alright, alright, stop complaining. There are still a few Goblins ahead, hurry up and clear them before logging off... No wait, clear the dungeon and go eat."
The Shield Warrior raised the shield and prepared to continue advancing.
Suddenly.
A violent snapping sound came from the tree canopy overhead.
"What's that commotion?"
The Mage looked up.
Several huge dark shadows descended from the sky, heavily smashing into a spot a dozen meters in front of them.
The ground trembled violently, and dirt and fallen leaves splashed everywhere.
Those were several huge monsters with wolf heads, bear bodies, and spider legs, exuding a nauseating stench and a dark purple Abyss aura.
[Abyss Chimera (Elite Monster)]
[Level: 25]
[Strength: 2400]
[Agility: 2600]
[Stamina: 3500]
[Spirit: 2200]
[Skills: Chimeric Flesh, Critical Strike]
...
"Holy shit! A Level 25 Elite Monster?!"
Seeing the red name floating above the monster's head, the Shield Warrior's eyes almost popped out, "How could this kind of thing suddenly spawn in the wild?"
Before they could react.
The Abyss Chimera let out a deafening roar, its thick spider legs abruptly sprang, and its huge body instantly closed the distance.
It raised its bear claw covered in black scales and slammed it fiercely toward the Shield Warrior.
Bang!
The Shield Warrior didn't even have time to activate a skill before the Black Iron-grade shield in their hands instantly dented and deformed.
" -28691!"
He flew backward like a cannonball, heavily crashing into a tree trunk as his health bar instantly emptied.
"Old Liu!"
Scared to the point of soul scattered and spirit dissipated, the Archer subconsciously drew the bow and shot an arrow.
An arrow imbued with wind-attribute magic hit the Chimera's skin without leaving even a white mark.
" -168"
The pathetic damage number popped up.
The Chimera turned its head, its crimson eyes locking onto the Archer and the Mage.
"Run! Hurry and run! This monster's stats are overpowered, it's completely unplayable!"
The Mage screamed and turned to run, not even wanting the staff that dropped on the ground.
The Archer was scrambling and running wildly in the direction they came from.
...
The same scenario was happening simultaneously in multiple parts of the dungeon.
Dungeon portal area.
The portal originally used to allow freshmen to safely exit the dungeon was now flickering with an eerie dark purple light.
More than a dozen blood-covered freshmen were fleeing in terror toward the portal.
"Hurry! As long as we enter the teleportation array, we can get out!"
A warrior running at the very front shouted, diving headfirst toward the blue light curtain of the teleportation array.
However,
Just the moment he was about to touch the light curtain,
Swoosh——
A bone wall interwoven with dark purple thorns suddenly rose from the ground, cutting him directly in half at the waist.
" -49240!"
The warrior's corpse fell to the ground, turning into white light and disappearing, leaving only a glaring pool of blood.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The freshmen following behind were so frightened they slammed on the brakes, looking in terror at the thorny bone wall spanning across the front of the portal.
Standing atop the bone wall was a girl wearing a second-year priest's ceremonial robe.
Xiao Ya.
Her ashen eyes looked down at the despairing freshmen below, the crucifix staff in her hand emitting a dark purple halo.
"Want to leave?"
Xiao Ya's voice was overlapping and hoarse, with a distorted smile on her face, "The good show has just begun, how can the audience leave their seats?"
"You... Who are you? Why did you set traps in the safe zone!"
A mage freshman shouted in breakdown.
Xiao Ya didn't answer, merely waving her staff gently.
The soil around the teleportation array churned, and five foul-smelling Chimeras crawled out, blocking the freshmen's retreat.
Just at this moment, several sounds of piercing through the air came.
Three second-year members rushed out from the woods, landing in front of the teleportation array.
"Xiao Ya! Have you lost your mind? Immediately remove the trap and stop attacking the freshmen!"
The leading team captain pulled out the longsword at his waist, its blade igniting with scorching flames.
After discovering the dungeon's anomaly, they gave up hunting freshman squads and rushed over to handle it at the first possible moment.
"Oh?"
Xiao Ya tilted her head, looking at these three sophomore upperclassmen.
"You've come just in time, the Lord needs more sacrifices."
She snapped her fingers.
Roar——!
Three slightly smaller Chimeras suddenly darted out from the nearby woods, directly pouncing toward the Law Enforcement Team.
The Law Enforcement Team captain's expression changed: "They are Abyss creatures! Form a formation to fend off the enemy!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Firelight and dark purple energy erupted in front of the portal.
However,
After fighting for less than a minute,
"Captain! This monster's resistance is too high, my fire-type spells aren't draining its HP when hitting it!"
"We can't hold on! Its attacks have a corrosive effect, my shield is continuously losing HP!"
Accompanied by a miserable scream,
A Law Enforcement Team member had their arm bitten off by an Abyss Hound.
"Retreat! Send a signal to request backup! We can't handle this!"
The captain made a prompt decision, throwing a smoke bomb and fleeing in disarray into the depths of the woods with the remaining two members.
Even the sophomore Hunter Squad was defeated and retreated.
Seeing this scene, the freshmen trapped in front of the bone wall fell into complete despair.
"It's over... We can't get out."
"The portal is sealed, and there are those one-shot monsters behind us, we're going to die here!"
"Someone save us..."
Several girls with poor psychological endurance had already collapsed on the ground and started crying.
The boys were also ashen-faced, the hands holding their weapons shaking.
In the face of absolute Level and stat suppression, they were simply a joke.
"Everyone don't panic!"
Suddenly, a boy holding a large shield in the crowd shouted.
"We can't just wait here to die! The portal doesn't work, so we'll go find someone to help!"
"Find someone? Find who? The sophomore upperclassmen have all been beaten and run away, who else can save us?"
Someone asked despairingly in return.
The Shield Warrior boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
"Have you forgotten that freak from the college entrance examination?"
"Su Chen! Let's go find God Su!"
"That's right!"
A mage slammed his thigh fiercely, as if grabbing onto the last straw of life-saving, "I just looked at the leaderboard, his points have already broken five thousand! He can definitely deal with these monsters!"
"He's also accompanied by Lin Shiqing, that S-Levelsupport! Those two definitely have a way!"
"But... where is God Su?"
"Search for him!!"
The mage roared: "Search the whole map for God Su, as long as he makes a move, we can survive!"
Chapter 112: The Pig-Raising Strategy, The Chimera Attack!
"Boom!"
A Level 22 Berserk Armored Bear heavily collapsed to the ground, its massive body twitching twice before its health bar was completely emptied.
[Successfully killed Berserk Armored Bear, gained 220 experience points, and 22 credits!]
Su Chen casually waved away the residual lightning at the tip of his staff and yawned.
Lin Shiqing put away the staff in her hand, stepped forward, and skillfully picked up a few gold coins and a piece of equipment exuding a black light from beside the Armored Bear's corpse.
"Black-Iron grade bracers."
She disdainfully threw the bracers into her backpack, turned her head to look at Su Chen, and said, "I mean, Little Su, we've been farming monsters here for over an hour. Are you really not planning to go snatch other people's credits?"
"I saw on the leaderboard that the second-place Zhao Tianyu is already running around looking for people to fight. The selection tournament is almost turning into a battle royale."
Lin Shiqing retied her ponytail with a golden hair tie, "If we just walk around the outer perimeter casually, won't our credits skyrocket?"
Su Chen walked over to sit under a tree, fished out a bottle of mana potion from his backpack, and took a gulp.
"Snatch credits? What's the rush?"
Su Chen said casually.
If we go snatch them now, how many credits could those freshmen possibly have in their hands?
Running back and forth just wastes stamina.
"Let's raise pigs first."
He smiled, "The rules of this selection tournament are very clear; plundering is not prohibited. This means that as time goes on, credits will continuously gather towards those few teams at the top of the pyramid."
"If we go snatching now, that's just picking up sesame seeds. Once they've collected almost all the credits, we'll go straight to the teleportation gate and camp the exit."
Su Chen made a gesture of tightening a net.
"Wiping out those big accounts in one go saves time and effort. Isn't this much better than running around looking for people?"
Lin Shiqing was momentarily stunned, then rolled her eyes.
"Your heart is way too dark… But then again, if you went to snatch right now with your damage, I'd be afraid you wouldn't hold back and would one-shot people."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the other Armored Bears.
However.
When her gaze fell upon the Armored Bears, her movements suddenly froze.
The flesh and blood of the Armored Bears were twisting and dissolving in a bizarre manner.
Dark purple auras spread out from their mouths and noses, corroding the surrounding grassland into charred blackness.
An extremely uncomfortable and chilling sensation spread outward.
[Warning: Some monsters in the dungeon have undergone Abyss transformation!]
"Little Su…"
Lin Shiqing's voice trembled slightly as she pointed at the mutating Armored Bears, "W-What is going on? How did these monsters… become Abyss-ified?"
The relaxed expression on Su Chen's face instantly vanished.
He stood up, walked over to the corpse, and frowned slightly as he watched the continuously surging dark purple aura.
"Nothing much."
Su Chen's tone was calm, without giving much explanation.
Lin Shiqing didn't believe him.
She raised her head and looked at Su Chen.
The young man's expression remained calm, as if he had long been accustomed to this terrifying Abyss aura.
"You…"
Lin Shiqing's eye sockets suddenly turned slightly red, "Were you hit by the Abyss Curse?"
On the day of reporting, she had heard more than once from Lin Wei and Lu Qingyan that Su Chen seemed to have been afflicted with some kind of curse.
That day she was just busy being jealous and didn't take it to heart.
Now it seemed… Su Chen had clearly been afflicted by the Abyss Curse.
Su Chen didn't waste words and directly struck out with a chain of lightning.
"Crack—!"
The blue lightning chain struck the Armored Bears. Even though they were already Abyss-ified, in front of Lord Poison, they still turned into green pus in a second.
[Successfully killed Berserk Armored Bear (Abyss-ified), gained 440 experience points, and 22 credits!]
...
"The experience points doubled, but the credits didn't change."
Su Chen curled his lips.
It seemed the school didn't consider the possibility of monsters becoming Abyss-ified at all.
"Little Su…"
Lin Shiqing bit her lip, her voice growing softer and softer, "Being afflicted by the Abyss Curse… it must be very painful, right?"
Su Chen looked at the moisture welling up in the depths of her eyes and for a moment didn't know how to respond.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop right there."
Su Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "Can you stop letting your imagination run wild? What curse or no curse, it's just that some monsters have become Abyss-ified."
"You're still lying to me!"
Lin Shiqing sniffed, abruptly turned her head, and wiped her eyes as if pretending to wipe away sweat with the back of her hand.
"I'm telling you, Little Su, you're… the rival I've been fighting since we were kids!"
"If you dare to die because of some damn backlash, I'll never spare you! From now on, if no one accompanies you into dungeons, I will! I'll cover all your mana potions and health potions, do you hear me!"
Su Chen looked at her flustered, bristling appearance and couldn't help laughing.
"Alright, alright, alright, Miss Lin is wealthy and generous, I'll count on you to keep me in the future."
Just as the two were talking, a sudden and violent commotion came from the bushes not far away.
"Help! Save me!"
"Run this way! I just checked the map, God Su is right at this coordinate!"
Accompanied by panicked screams, over a dozen bruised and battered freshmen stumbled out of the woods.
Behind them, three gigantic Abyss Chimera were roaring as they chased after them.
[Abyss Chimera (Elite Monster)]
[Level: 25]
[Strength: 2400]
[Agility: 2600]
[Stamina: 3500]
[Spirit: 2200]
[Skills: Chimera Flesh, Critical Strike]
...
"What… what kind of monster is that?"
Lin Shiqing's expression changed, and she immediately raised her staff, "This doesn't look like a creature from this dungeon!"
Su Chen furrowed his brows slightly.
The four-dimensional average exceeded two thousand points… Indeed, it didn't look like a monster from the selection tournament dungeon.
The school's goal was to train students, not to let students get killed off.
Without much hesitation, he directly struck out with a chain of lightning.
"Crack—!"
The lightning bounced among the three chimeras.
In just one second, it bounced nine times.
But for chimeras with a stamina as high as 3500 points, this bit of damage was not enough to be fatal.
However.
The next second.
"-145373518!"
"-145381584!"
"-145389650!"
"…"
Three huge damage numbers popped up.
Those dozen or so fleeing freshmen hadn't even seen clearly what happened before they saw the terrifying monsters that had been chasing them just a moment ago instantly evaporate.
"D-Dead?"
"One-shot?!"
"It's God Su! It really is God Su! We're saved!"
"…"
The freshmen collapsed onto the ground, some even crying tears of excitement.
Su Chen, however, ignored their cheers.
His gaze was tightly locked onto the shattered corpse of the chimera.
The System's kill notification did not ring out.
The pieces of flesh and broken limbs scattered all over the ground instantly began to rapidly writhe and undergo Fusion upon contacting the ground.
In just a few short seconds.
Those three massive corpses had actually split into six slightly smaller chimeras with equally fierce auras!
Chapter 113: Infinite splitting? Isn't this practically handing me stacks?
Su Chen cast Scouting Spell on the few small Abyss Chimeras that had split apart.
[Split Body · Abyss Chimera (Elite Monster)]
[Level: 20]
[Strength: 1600]
[Agility: 1600]
[Stamina: 2500]
[Spirit: 1200]
[Skills: Chimeric Flesh, Critical Strike]
...
"They can still split?"
Lin Shiqing exclaimed.
Su Chen raised an eyebrow, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This mechanic is somewhat interesting.
The Level 25 elite monster had split into Level 20 elite monsters. Their stats dropped significantly, but they were still a cut above monsters of the same Level.
Without hesitation, he waved his staff once more.
Chain Lightning accurately struck those split bodies.
"-145497716!"
"-145405782!"
"-145413838!"
"..."
The split bodies were instantly killed once again.
But the same scene played out anew.
After their corpses exploded, each one split into two even smaller Abyss Chimeras!
However,
Su Chen's eyes lit up.
[Permanent +1 to maximum toxin stack limit. Current maximum stack limit: 18,029.]
[Permanent +1 to maximum toxin stack limit. Current maximum stack limit: 18,030.]
They could stack?
And they still split when killed?
Kill one monster, it splits into two; kill them again, and they split into four... Isn't this practically handing him stacks?
Without hesitation, Su Chen went all out, pouring out lightning as if it were free.
Four split into eight, eight split into sixteen...
With every split, the monsters' size and health plummeted, but their numbers doubled.
Until these Abyss Chimeras were split down to the size of a fist and dissolved by Su Chen's toxin for the fourth time, they finally stopped reviving and completely turned into black water.
[Permanent +1 to maximum toxin stack limit. Current maximum stack limit: 18,073.]
...
System prompts flooded the screen crazily.
Su Chen glanced at them; just three Abyss Chimeras had given him a full 48 stacks.
"This is practically exponential growth."
Su Chen couldn't help muttering aloud, his tone carrying unconcealed excitement. "If I could gather a bunch of these things together to farm, wouldn't my stacking speed skyrocket?"
He turned his head to look at the freshmen who were still in a daze.
Su Chen asked, "Where did you guys lure this kind of splitting monster from? How many more are there?"
Those freshmen looked at each other in dismay.
"G-God Su..."
The leading Shield Warrior boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice trembling. "We didn't lure them... Over by the portal, a sophomore senior sister went crazy."
"A senior sister went crazy?"
Su Chen frowned slightly.
"Right! Her name is Xiao Ya, and she's a priest! She summoned tons of these monsters and is attacking everyone indiscriminately!"
The Shield Warrior boy grew more and more agitated as he spoke. "We wanted to leave the dungeon, but she blocked the portal dead shut with a bone wall! Even sophomore senior brothers and sisters were beaten away by her!"
"She even said this is to grant us release, that death is a blessing or something... She doesn't even want academic credits, she just wants to kill all of us inside!"
Su Chen's expression gradually turned cold.
Blocking the door to rob academic credits was standard operation and beyond reproach.
But refusing to let people leave, not even wanting credits, and even killing anyone on sight?
This was no longer within the scope of the student selection tournament.
This kind of behavioral logic wasn't for profit at all, but pure slaughter.
"God Su, what should we do now?"
A girl cried despairingly, "We can't get out, we're all going to die here..."
Su Chen did not reply.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the portal.
There, a faint dark purple light flickered in the sky.
"Let's go."
Su Chen carried his staff and took a step forward.
"Little Su, where are we going?"
Lin Shiqing quickly followed.
"To go check out that crazy senior sister."
Su Chen answered casually.
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Why is it that every time he farms a dungeon... something abnormal happens?
...
In front of the dungeon portal, the air was permeated with a strong smell of blood and a nauseating stench of corruption.
A huge bone wall intertwined with dark purple thorns tightly blocked the blue teleportation light screen behind it.
In front of the bone wall, a few sophomore Hunter Squads were desperately holding the defense line.
"Hold on! Priest, hurry and shield the front row!"
The captain gritted his teeth, his two-handed greatsword heavily chopping down onto the forehead of an Abyss Chimera.
Bam!
Sparks flew everywhere.
"-392!"
This pitiful damage number made the captain's expression even uglier.
He was a Level 26 Berserker, and the weapon in his hand was even silver-grade, yet chopping it onto this monster couldn't even break much of its defense!
"Captain! This won't do! This monster's resistance is too high!"
A sophomore Archer continuously fired three penetration-effect arrows, resulting in only a few white marks left on the Abyss Chimera's skin.
"It can even split! There were clearly only three left just now, how did they turn into six now!"
Behind the defense line, dozens of surviving freshmen gathered.
They were tightly blocked in front of the bone wall, with nowhere left to retreat.
"Senior sister! Senior sister Xiao Ya!"
A freshman wearing gorgeous mage robes suddenly scrambled and rushed to the front of the defense line, holding up a card flickering with golden light high in his hand.
"This is my student card! There are one thousand academic credits inside! I'll give them all to you! I beg you, let me out!"
He cried out, throwing the credit card toward Xiao Yastanding above the bone wall.
"My family is rich! As long as you let me out, I'll give you however much money you want!"
Xiao Ya, standing at the top of the bone wall, tilted her head, her grayish-white pupils devoid of a shred of human emotion.
She looked at the credit card that had fallen to the ground, the corners of her mouth curling into an extremely twisted smile.
"Credits?"
Xiao Ya's voice sounded like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other, carrying overlapping echoes.
"That kind of meaningless number is only treated as a treasure by you foolish mortals."
She slowly raised the staff in her hand.
"The Lord does not need credits. What the Lord needs... is your fresh flesh and blood, and your despairing wails."
Swish—
A dark purple energy beam shot out from the top of the staff, instantly piercing through the chest of that pleading freshman.
"-4896!"
The freshman lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the large, scorched-smelling hole in his chest as his body fell straight down.
"Ah!!!"
Seeing this scene, the freshmen in the back completely collapsed, and despairing wails echoed through the entire area.
"She's crazy! She's not doing this for credits at all!"
"She wants to kill all of us!"
"..."
The Hunter Squad captain's eyes split open with rage.
He gripped his greatsword tightly and roared at Xiao Ya, "Xiao Ya! You have been eroded by the Abyss power! If you stop now, the academy can still find a way to save you!"
"Save me?"
Xiao Ya acted as if she had heard some colossal joke, her shoulders trembling violently as she let out a piercing, wild laugh.
"I have never been as lucid as I am now! This power... these peerless stats! You ants simply don't understand!"
She abruptly waved her staff.
"Tear them to pieces!"
Roar——!
Six Abyss Chimeras let out a roar simultaneously, their massive bodies leaping up sharply and slamming like six heavy tanks into the Hunter Squad's already crumbling defense line.
Bam!
The Shield Warrior at the very front was directly sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood as spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the refined steel tower shield in front of his chest.
The defense line seemed on the verge of collapse.
A huge shadow enveloped the despairing freshmen in the back, as an Abyss Chimera opened its bloody, fanged maw and bit down fiercely toward the crowd.
At this critical juncture,
A calm voice sounded on the edge of the battlefield.
"Corrosive Snake Guard."
Chapter 114: A Last-Second Rescue, Abyss Chimera? They're Just My Stacking Tools!"
Just as that Abyss Chimera opened its bloody maw filled with fangs and was about to crush the head of the freshman below it—
The ground collapsed without warning.
Boom, boom, boom!
Accompanied by a deafening roar of bursting earth and stone, dozens of thick, massive Snake Guards instantly knocked the flying Abyss Chimeras high into the air.
Immediately following that—
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!"
Dark green venom instantly covered the Abyss Chimeras.
" - 145776818!"
" - 145784884!"
"..."
Countless terrifying red damage numbers that made one dizzy at a glance floated up from above the heads of the Abyss Chimeras almost simultaneously.
The Abyss Chimeras didn't even have time to let out a proper scream.
Within 0.01 seconds of contacting the venom, their health bars instantly emptied.
Their massive bodies turned into pools of green pus, pouring down from mid-air.
The sudden turn of events plunged the entire clamorous, despairing battlefield into a dead silence.
Those freshmen who were holding their heads and waiting for death blankly watched the foul-smelling bloody rain falling from the sky.
"Th-That is..."
Not knowing who shouted first, the voice carried the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe and an unbelievable tremor.
"It's God Su! God Su is here!!!"
"We're saved! We're saved, wuwuwu..."
Deafening cheers erupted from the despairing crowd, and someone even collapsed straight to the ground, wailing loudly.
At the end of their line of sight,
Su Chen was carrying a staff, walking out unhurriedly from the edge of the woods.
Lin Shiqing followed half a step behind him, her gaze scanning the surrounding ruins and broken walls with vigilance.
The sophomore Hunter Squad blocking the front was completely stunned at this moment.
The captain wiped the blood from his face hard, looked at the bubbling puddle of green pus on the ground, and then looked at the youth walking leisurely in the distance, his brain completely crashing.
One-hit kill?
A level 25 elite Abyss Chimera was just killed in one hit like that?
That was a monster that even he, a level 26 Berserkerholding a silver-tier greatsword, couldn't hack to death!
"Captain... who is that person?"
The team member next to him who had lost an arm turned pale. "Among the freshmen... are there such terrifying monsters?"
"I... don't know..."
The captain swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling the hand holding his sword tremble.
Not only the Hunter Squad—
Xiao Ya, standing atop the dark purple bone wall, was also stunned at this moment.
Her pair of eyes, which had lost human emotion and were left with only grayish-white, stared fixedly at Su Chen.
From that seemingly ordinary freshman, she actually felt a destructive aura that was even purer and deadlier than the proud Abyssal Erosion within her own body...
"Who are you?"
Xiao Ya rasped in a hoarse voice.
However,
Su Chen didn't even glance at her.
His gaze locked onto those Abyss Chimeras that were still continuously splitting.
[Permanent +1 to the maximum toxin stack limit. Current stack limit: 18,074 stacks.]
[Permanent +1 to the maximum toxin stack limit. Current stack limit: 18,075 stacks.]
Listening to the crisp System prompt tones ringing out one after another by his ears, Su Chen felt every pore on his body relax.
Refreshing.
So refreshing.
Just like the Abyss Chimeras encountered before, every single one of them could split four times.
One could ultimately split into 16.
Moreover,
as elite monsters, their EXP points weren't bad either!
Where could one find such great monsters?
At this time,
the twisted and arrogant smile on Xiao Ya's face gradually disappeared, replaced by extreme irritability and the humiliation of being ignored.
"I'm asking you... who on earth are you?!"
Xiao Ya let out a shrill scream, violently waving the staff in her hand entwined with Abyssal breath.
The remaining dozens of Abyss Chimeras immediately gave up their encirclement of the freshmen, turning their heads in unison as countless crimson eyes locked dead onto Su Chen.
Only then did Su Chen slowly raise his head.
His gaze casually swept across the dark purple bone wall, finally landing on Xiao Ya's grayish-white eyes.
"You're that senior sister who blocked the exit and refused to let people leave, and also threw Abyssal trash around?"
Su Chen tapped his shoulder with his staff.
"Normally, I couldn't care less about how others snatch credits; those are just the rules of this lousy competition. But your table manners are too ugly. Not only did you block the door, but you also turned this fine dungeon into a complete mess."
"Since you've already suffered Abyssal Erosion, then this matter becomes easy to handle."
He pointed his staff at Xiao Ya. "It'll be fine just killing you, right?"
"..."
"Just you?"
Xiao Ya laughed out of extreme anger.
The Abyssal aura around her surged frantically like boiling water, causing the bone wall to begin emitting crackling shattering sounds.
"A freshman who hasn't even undergone a breakthroughto the second-tier class change? Do you think that by killing a few split forms, you can provoke the power bestowed upon me by the Lord?"
She raised her staff and roared hoarsely, "Go! Tear him to pieces for me! Chew his bones to pieces too!"
"Roar——!"
Dozens of huge Abyss Chimeras simultaneously let out a deafening roar.
Their massive bodies slammed hard against the ground, directly caving in several deep pits.
Countless mountains of flesh, like a derailed heavy train, brought an asphyxiating sense of oppression as they rolled over toward Su Chen.
The ground of the entire area was violently trembling.
"God Su, watch out!"
The freshmen in the back closed their eyes in terror.
The captain of the sophomore Hunter Squad clenched his teeth, raising his greatsword to rush forward and support.
Even if this freshman's damage was high and his skills weird, it was impossible for a squishy mage's physique to simultaneously withstand the savage charging of dozens of elite monsters!
However,
facing the five rampaging behemoths, Su Chen didn't take a single step back.
He just stood quietly in place, watching those monsters with open bloody maws, the corners of his mouth curving into an extremely faint arc.
Playing numbers games, huh?
Why do all these villains like to bully the few with the many?
Su Chen lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his staff.
"Snake Guards, time to work."
"Swish——!"
Dense rows of Snake Guards instantly burst out of the ground.
However,
this time, it wasn't ten, nor was it dozens.
Instead, there were fully several thousand!
Thousands of giant corrosive snakes, like a green primeval forest rising from thin air, instantly filled the area of several hundred meters in radius completely.
As Su Chen's mental stats increased, every single Snake Guard had already reached a height of ten meters.
Their dark green slit pupils coldly stared at the charging Abyss Chimeras.
The air of the entire battlefield instantly became extremely viscous and oppressive.
The dozens of charging Abyss Chimeras instantly looked like a group of ants rushing toward a tsunami in front of this massive snake forest.
Dead silence.
The entire audience fell into a dead silence.
Everyone widened their eyes, their mouths wide enough to fit a fist.
It took a full several seconds before they reacted.
"Th-What the hell is this?"
"Is this a summoning skill? Whose summoning skill can summon thousands of units at once?!"
"This quantity... is it right?"
"My brother is from the Summoner Academy! His mentor is a tier-five grand summoner with a full set of top-tier gear, risking his life to unleash his ultimate, and can at most summon over a hundred gargoyles at once... What level is he?! How could he possibly summon so many?!"
Chapter 115: You Summon, I Summon Too, Abyss Tyrant!
Xiao Ya stood atop the bone wall, her grayish-white pupils contracting violently, her body trembling slightly and uncontrollably.
Within her line of sight, the figures of those Hunter Squadmembers and the freshmen were completely invisible.
What met her eyes was a scalp-tingling dark green ocean!
"What... What the hell is this quantity?!"
Xiao Ya's voice became sharp and cracked due to extreme shock.
Snake Guards.
Thousands of dark green Corrosive Snake Guards!
They densely coiled over the ruins, each one exuding a sickening Poison aura, completely submerging the entire portal area!
Those Abyss Chimeras that she regarded as elites were instantly submerged by hundreds of Snake Guards before they even had time to scream.
Venom spewed forth like a torrential downpour.
High in mid-air.
Massive damage numbers overlapped together.
The health bars of the Abyss Chimeras didn't even have the qualification to flicker before instantly emptying out.
"Summoner... He is just a freshman! How could he possibly possess summons without an upper limit?!"
Xiao Ya tightly grasped her staff, her nails almost embedding into her palms.
She couldn't understand.
Even those grand summoners of the sixth or seventh transition had strict quantity limits on the summons they could control simultaneously!
Her Mental Strength was simply insufficient to support thousands of units existing simultaneously!
Yet that freshman down below didn't even catch a breath!
"Interesting... Too interesting..."
Xiao Ya whispered hoarsely, the shock in her eyes gradually replaced by mad killing intent.
"Since you are so good at summoning, let's see whether you have more mana or the abyss has more troop sources!"
She abruptly raised her staff and heavily slammed it against the bone wall.
"Tear him to pieces! Offer your flesh and blood to the master!"
Rumble——!
A huge dark purple crack was torn open behind the bone wall.
The abyss portal opened directly!
Thick abyss Death Qi surged out wildly.
Accompanied by teeth-grating bone friction sounds and roars, a black torrent poured down from the portal.
That wasn't a dozen or so, but a continuous and seemingly endless army of Abyss Chimeras!
They trampled on the corpses of their companions, crazily surging like a tide toward that dark green Snake Guardforest.
"Holy shit! Is this woman crazy? Opening the portal directly?!"
"This fucking cheating! Abyss monsters are infinite!"
"It's over... We're surrounded!"
Hiding in the distance, the Hunter Squad and the freshmen collapsed on the spot seeing this scene.
Lin Shiqing stood behind Su Chen, looking at the suffocating black wave ahead, also feeling somewhat worried.
However.
Facing this monster torrent sufficient to submerge a small town.
Su Chen didn't even lift an eyelid.
He watched those Chimeras crazily gushing out from the portal as if looking at a fully powered-up experience money printer.
"Opening the door to release monsters directly?"
Su Chen's lips curved up slightly, a trace of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.
"Senior sister, you really are my benefactor."
He casually waved his staff.
"Snake Guard, keep working."
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The ground exploded again, and hundreds of new dark green corrosive giant snakes burst out of the soil.
Two thousand!
Three thousand!
...
Ten thousand!
The number of Snake Guards was still skyrocketing in an unreasonable manner!
The dense Snake Guards tightly entangled the rushing Chimeras.
Venom spewed.
Hundreds of Chimeras instantly turned into pus all over the sky.
[Trait Triggered: Doom Siphon, current toxin stacking limit + 1]
[Trait Triggered: Doom Siphon, current toxin stacking limit + 1]
...
The crisp System prompt tone frantically flooded Su Chen's ears.
After the Chimeras turned into pus, they immediately split into slightly smaller, doubled-in-quantity split entities.
"I'm not afraid of you splitting, I'm afraid you won't split enough."
Su Chen's eyes were almost glowing.
The monsters that had just split exploded again, turning into even more.
Kill again!
The entire portal area completely turned into a huge venom swamp meat grinder.
His experience bar was rising crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The toxin stacking limit even skyrocketed exponentially.
The students standing in the back were completely dumbfounded.
"Is... Is this fucking even human?"
The Berserker captain's mouth was wide open, and the greatsword in his hand was about to drop to the ground.
"Killing monsters like chopping vegetables... This damage value must have been filled in wrong, right?!"
"Look at those giant snakes! They're still increasing! There were three thousand just now, now there must be five thousand!"
"This cheat is way too obvious! Report! Must report! This game can't be played anymore!"
"..."
Above the bone wall.
The crazy smile on Xiao Ya's face had completely frozen, and was even somewhat distorted.
She originally thought that relying on the portal spawning monsters infinitely, coupled with the Chimera's infinite splitting mechanism, no matter how high this freshman's damage was, he would be exhausted of his mana alive.
But she quickly discovered that the development of events completely deviated from common sense.
That freshman not only didn't show the slightest sign of fatigue, but didn't even pop a single mana potion!
Those disgusting Snake Guards he summoned not only slaughtered the monsters pouring out of the portal, but had even started blocking the door!
"He... Treated my portal as a monster spawner?!"
Xiao Ya's grayish-white pupils trembled violently, and an unspeakable sense of humiliation instantly surged into her heart.
She was chosen by the gods to gain supreme power, to come here to spread fear and harvest lives!
But what about now?
The look that freshman gave her wasn't looking at an abyss apostle bringing despair at all, but rather looking at...
A breeding sow that could give birth to piglets?!
"You dare... Treat me as a tool to farm experience?!"
Xiao Ya was completely enraged, her piercing screech penetrating the bone wall, carrying a flustered voice crack.
"Do you think you've won for sure? The power of the lord is simply not something ants like you can fathom!"
Rumbly-rumble——!
The sky of the entire Secret Realm suddenly darkened.
The space above the abyss portal distorted violently, and a huge black vortex slowly formed.
"Great abyss! I sacrifice all this flesh and blood! Descend! Tear this arrogant heretic to pieces!"
Xiao Ya abruptly raised her staff and slashed open her wrist.
Black blood gushed out, turning into a column of blood rushing toward the vortex in the sky.
The Chimera remains constantly splitting on the field, as if receiving some kind of summon, instantly stopped wriggling and turned into streams of black light, crazily pouring into that vortex.
Along with the abyss portal itself, it was swallowed by the vortex together.
A suffocating and terrifying coercion, like a substantive mountain, heavily pressed down on everyone's hearts.
"Crack..."
The Berserker captain's silver greatsword actually developed a tiny crack under this coercion.
"What Level of monster is that?!"
"It's Dark Gold-grade! A Dark Gold-grade BOSS!"
An auxiliary-class student holding a detector screamed in despair.
Bang!
A huge black foot stepped out from the vortex, heavily stamping onto the ground.
The earth instantly cracked, and a strong shockwave blew away all the Hunter Squad members and the freshmen.
A terrifying behemoth up to ten meters tall slowly descended from the vortex.
Its whole body was covered in hard dark golden scales, its back was covered with sharp bone spurs, and its four stout arms were entwined with thick abyss Death Qi.
[Abyss Tyrant · Fusion (Dark Gold-grade BOSS)]
[Grade: Dark Gold-grade]
[Level: 30]
[Strength: 8500]
[Agility: 4200]
[Stamina: 9000]
[Spirit: 3600]
[Skills: Tyrant Trample, Abyss Roar, Endless Division]
[Tyrant Trample: Deals devastating physical damage to all targets within a 50-meter radius, and inflicts the [Stun] status.]
[Abyss Roar: Forcefully reduces the defense of all enemy units by 50% for 30 seconds.]
[Endless Division: Upon death, it will split into two [Gold-grade] Abyss Tyrants; after the Gold-grade dies, they split into four [Silver-grade] Abyss Tyrants; after the Silver-grade dies, they split into eight [Bronze-grade] Abyss Tyrants; after the Bronze-grade dies, they split into sixteen [Black Iron-grade] Abyss Tyrants.]
Chapter 115: A Despair-Inducing BOSS? Su Chen: Are there any more?
The heavy Abyss Death Qi pressed down on everyone's heart like a physical substance.
The gale whipped up the ashes over the ruins, striking the pale faces of the freshmen.
No one spoke, and even breathing became cautious.
When that ten-meter-tall [Abyss Tyrant Fusion Body] completely stepped out from the black vortex, the freshmen threw out Scouting Spell with trembling bodies.
The next second.
The data fed back by Scouting Spell made everyone completely lose the ability to think.
A freshman flopped down onto the ground, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Look at its four-dimensional attributes... Strength 8,500! Stamina 9,000! Agility and Spirit are both above 3,000!"
"What the hell is there even to fight anymore!"
An Archer roared out in despair, arrows sliding directly from his hands.
"Strength of 8,500? My family's Level 60 Berserker big shot, wearing a full set of silver gear, only just broke 3,000 in strength! This BOSS is only Level 30! Its four-dimensional attributes are several times higher than ordinary Level 50 monsters! Is this data something a human can pull off?!"
"Forget about fighting, if it just steps casually, even just grazing us, our group will be completely wiped out!"
"Look at that passive trait again! [Endless Division]!"
"Dark Gold Level death splits into two Gold Levels! Gold Level splits into four Silver Levels! Silver Level turns into eight Bronze Levels! Bronze turns into sixteen Black Iron!"
"It's over... It's all over... With this mechanic and these stats, even if the top students of the academy's junior year came over, they wouldn't necessarily be able to win!"
"..."
The emotion of despair spread among the crowd.
The freshmen collapsed on the ground, some having already closed their eyes, unable even to cry.
However.
In this suffocating despair.
Su Chen slowly raised his head.
He looked at the Dark Gold Level BOSS that descended like a demon god, and then looked at the [Endless Division] passive trait on its panel.
"Strength of 8,500, Stamina of 9,000, and it can still undergo Endless Division after death..."
Su Chen muttered softly, his eyes growing brighter and brighter, the corners of his mouth even involuntarily curling into an arc.
What kind of despair-inducing Abyss descent was this.
After this whole set of divisions, how many monsters would that be?
How huge of an EXP amount would that be?
Stamina of 9,000 sounded pretty bluffing, but it was just so-so, not even comparable to the Mine Tyrantstrengthened by the Rift Demon Shadow with the water of the magic river in the previous Abyss Dungeon.
The most ultimate thing was this division mechanism, it was simply a big gift package for farming EXP.
Killing down this round... was equivalent to killing more than twenty BOSSes.
Su Chen tightened his grip on the burst staff in his hand, the smile at the corners of his mouth no longer suppressible.
"Senior Sister, you really are a good person."
Su Chen muttered softly.
The moment his voice fell, he didn't even wave his staff.
Those thousands of Corrosive Snake Guards that were originally frantically spitting venom on the ground and clearing the scattered monsters instantly turned their snake heads in unison.
Their dark green vertical pupils locked tightly onto that haughty Dark Gold Level BOSS in mid-air.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!"
Dense dark green venom poured overwhelmingly onto the massive body of the [Abyss Tyrant] like reverse rainstorms.
A stamina value of 9,000 was indeed an impassable chasm for freshman and sophomore students.
But in front of Su Chen, it was still no different from small monsters.
" - 155560876!"
Boom——!!!
An outrageously long damage number popped up above the tyrant's head.
There was no deafening explosion roar, only an extremely dull muffled sound.
The Abyss Tyrant's health bar instantly evaporated and cleared!
This Dark Gold Level BOSS that had just intimidated the entire audience with its prestige suddenly stiffened its massive body.
Shortly after.
The entire massive body abruptly exploded into a puddle of foul-smelling green pus.
[Notice: Killed Abyss Tyrant Fusion Body (Dark Gold Level BOSS), gained 30,000,000 EXP points!]
[Notice: Abyss Tyrant Fusion Body triggered passive trait [Endless Division]...]
The bursting pus squirmed rapidly in mid-air, without any pause, instantly splitting into two Abyss Tyrants slightly smaller in size.
The two Gold Level BOSSes had just formed, not even having time to land.
"Continue."
Su Chen didn't even glance at them.
" - 155568942!"
" - 155577008!"
"..."
The flesh that had just coagulated exploded again!
[Notice: Killed Abyss Tyrant Fusion Body (Gold LevelBOSS), gained 6,000,000 EXP points!]
The two Gold Level died, instantly splitting into four Silver Levels.
The Silver Levels just appeared, one-shotted!
Split into eight Bronze Levels, one-shotted!
Split into sixteen Black Iron Levels, one-shotted!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A sticky dark green rain of blood fell across the entire portal area.
From the descent of that haughty Dark Gold Level BOSS to all the split bodies being thoroughly killed clean, the entire process took less than five seconds.
The stack count at most reached 31 layers, but the EXP given by the BOSS was extremely generous.
Every time a kill was made, the EXP bars of Su Chen and Lin Shiqing surged forward like crazy.
Accompanied by the golden light of leveling up, both his and Lin Shiqing's Levels increased by one level.
The entire audience was dead silent.
The freshmen who had just been lying on the ground waiting to die were now all wide-mouthed, their eyeballs almost popping out onto the ground.
The Berserker captain of the Hunter Squad rubbed his eyes hard and looked up at the sky again.
Nothing was left.
No Dark Gold Level BOSS with intense oppression, no despair-inducing division army.
Only a pool of foul-smelling blood and slowly dissipating poisonous miasma covered the ground.
"Where is the BOSS?"
"It, it was one-shotted..."
"That's a Dark Gold Level! A Dark Gold Level BOSS with 8,500 Strength and 9,000 Stamina! It's gone in just a few seconds?!"
"It can even split!! That means in five seconds, he... killed one Dark Gold Level BOSS, two Gold Level BOSSes, four Silver Level BOSSes, and sixteen Black Iron LevelBOSSes?"
"..."
Behind the bone wall.
Xiao Ya's entire body had collapsed limply onto the ground.
The Dark Gold Level BOSS she traded by sacrificing a large number of chimeric beasts... was gone.
Without even making a splash, without emitting a complete roar, it was gone.
"This is impossible... This is impossible..."
Xiao Ya's grayish-white pupils contracted violently, her body trembling like a winnowing sieve.
"That is the Abyss Tyrant bestowed by the Lord... How could it be one-shotted..."
Tap, tap, tap.
The footsteps approached unhurriedly.
The Abyss mist was driven away by an invisible force.
Su Chen walked in front of the bone wall and glanced at Xiao Ya collapsed on the ground.
He asked indifferently: "Are there any more?"
