80: Use the ultimate skill to clear out the minions and gain experience!

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, jumping up and down excitedly. "So, is it my turn to act this time?"

Her big eyes sparkled, already eager to show off in front of Su Mo.

"No." Su Mo shook his head. "This time, it's still me."

"Ah? You again?" Xiao Wu's excitement vanished. She puffed out her cheeks, her small feet unconsciously kicking the smooth floor of the elevator, clearly displeased.

"Su Mo, do you think I'm in the way, or that I'm clumsy?"

"How could I?" Su Mo chuckled, reaching out to pinch her pouting cheek. It felt delightfully springy. "How could I think our Xiao Wu is clumsy when she's so amazing?"

"The reason I'm not letting you act is because..." Su Mo's face broke into a mysterious smile. "I just thought of a more fun and efficient way to farm monsters."

"What method?" Xiao Wu's curiosity was immediately piqued.

"You'll know in a bit." Su Mo kept her in suspense, directly pressing the '11' button.

The elevator once again ascended rapidly.

Soon, it reached the eleventh floor.

The elevator doors slowly slid open, and a cold aura, mixed with decaying dust and death, rushed out.

Outside was a vast underground tomb, stretching as far as the eye could see.

In the darkness, pairs of eerie blue soul fires lit up one after another. Accompanied by the 'clack clack' of bones rubbing together, countless Skeleton Archers awoke from their slumber, their hollow eye sockets all simultaneously locking onto the two living beings at the elevator entrance.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

Without any time to react, hundreds of bone arrows tore through the air, coming down like a torrential rain with ear-piercing shrieks!

"Ah!" Xiao Wu cried out, about to hide behind Su Mo.

However, Su Mo stood his ground, unmoving.

He simply raised his hand calmly.

The next moment, a heavy hum echoed within the elevator, and the very air seemed to congeal.

A ferocious battle blade, entirely black and taller than he was, appeared out of thin air in his hand!

It was none other than the legendary weapon—the abyssal dragons judgement!

More than a sword, it was like a piece of dragon bone pried from the abyssal depths of hell, symbolizing destruction and slaughter!

The moment this demonic weapon appeared, a terrifying dragon's might, originating from an ancient giant dragon, erupted!

The bone arrows flying towards them, upon contact with the dragon's might, didn't even have time to whimper before shattering into countless pieces in mid-air, scattering as dust!

"Wow! Su Mo, you..." Xiao Wu stared, dumbfounded. This sword was too cool!

A remarkably handsome young man, a supremely domineering demonic weapon—this scene was simply... "Cool is just its most insignificant advantage." Su Mo weighed the battle blade in one hand, feeling its reassuringly heavy weight.

He raised the battle blade high above his head and, facing the hundreds of Skeleton Archers in front of him, casually swung it forward.

"Abyssal Slash!"

Hum—!

There was no earth-shattering display, no world-destroying light effects.

Only a black ripple, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, skimmed the ground, silently sweeping across the entire tomb.

Time seemed to be paused at this moment.

All the Skeleton Archers' movements, whether they were drawing their bows or running, stopped abruptly at the exact same instant.

A subtle black crack quietly appeared on the skull of each and every one of them.

Immediately after.

"Clatter, clatter..."

A crisp, continuous sound of shattering filled the air, and the hundreds of hard skeletons simultaneously collapsed into piles of broken bones.

"Ding! You have killed Skeleton Archer (LV6) x127!"

"The Lord of Greed talent has been triggered! Experience gain increased! You ultimately gained: 12700 experience points!"

One strike, cleared the field!

"..."

Xiao Wu's cute little mouth hung open, her face blank.

She looked at the man holding the demonic blade with a calm expression, then at the piles of broken bones on the ground, feeling her little brain wasn't enough to process it all again.

If Su Mo's previous one-punch kill of the Abyssal Guard had brought her shock, then now, this one-strike clear of the field brought her a complete subversion of her understanding.

So... combat could be this simple?

This... elegant?

"How is it? My method, not bad, right?" Su Mo turned his head, giving her a proud smile.

"Mm-hmm!" Xiao Wu nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice, her gaze at Su Mo having completely shifted from 'caring' to... adoration.

If a man this handsome and powerful were born into their Rabbit-Eared Race, he would probably have been completely devoured by the sisters in the tribe by now!

She had to keep a close eye on him!

"Alright, stop daydreaming, go collect all the loot."

"Got it!" Xiao Wu responded, striding on her impossibly long legs, and happily ran into the tomb like a diligent little bee.

Su Mo watched her energetic back, then secretly let out a sigh of relief.

That "Abyssal Slash" move looked effortless, but it consumed a huge amount of energy. Nearly a quarter of his stamina was drained.

This was even with his 'titan heart' 300% stamina cap bonus. If it were anyone else, one strike would probably have turned them into a dried husk.

However, the consumption was completely worth it.

Soon, Xiao Wu had collected all the loot. Besides a few wooden and iron chests, there was a large pile of white-quality equipment and materials. Su Mo didn't even look at them, directly tossing them into his storage space.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, took out beef jerky, chocolate, and other high-calorie foods, and began to replenish his stamina.

Xiao Wu also mimicked him, sitting cross-legged opposite him, nibbling on snacks, her big eyes blinking curiously, staring at him without moving.

The two rested in the elevator for nearly half an hour.

Once his stamina had mostly recovered, Su Mo stood up and pressed the '12' button.

The twelfth floor, Poisonous Swamp, the monsters were LV7 Poisonous Lizards.

Su Mo still stood at the elevator entrance, unleashed an "Abyssal Slash," and the world became quiet.

The thirteenth floor, Winter Icefield, the monsters were LV8 Frost Wolves.

Still one strike.

The fourteenth floor... The elevator became their mobile fortress, and Abyssal Slash became the death knell.

Su Mo crushed his way up, floor by floor.

Although the process was somewhat monotonous, watching the experience bar rapidly increase, he felt there was no more pleasant symphony in the world.

Just as he was about to press the '15' floor button, the experience bar representing his level on his personal panel finally... filled up!

A brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from his body!
