104: Xia Qi, who doesn’t want to touch the fish!
When the bell rang again, the dispersed crowd rushed back.
"What's going on? Did someone break the record again?"
"Hey, why is it still Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge? Has the score improved again?"
"Holy moly, hurry up and look, this clear time is Heaven-Defying."
"Wait, am I seeing things? How much time!"
The new record time was set at 25 minutes and 05 seconds.
Not only did it break the thirty-minute mark, but it also shortened the previous record by another 20 minutes.
One must know that the clear record, which had been held for three years, was an hour.
And that record was created by a team of five elite professionals, under top-tier conditions.
But who can tell me, it's one thing to solo a dungeon.
But he also shortened the nightmare difficulty clear time to within thirty minutes.
Is this really something a human can do?
Under normal circumstances, breaking the original record is extremely difficult.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the clear record to remain there after three years.
"I dare to bet that no one will be able to break this clear record within ten years."
"Ten years? You're joking. Do you know how big the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge map is? No one will be able to break it within half an hour for absolutely a hundred years."
"That's right, the Rank limit for entering the dungeon is Rank 28, so this record really can't be broken."
"Such terrifying clear speed, it completely leaves no way out for others."
"I just can't figure out how he did it."
"Yes, I remember the Demon Wolf King's Physique very clearly. That terrifying speed and strength, at Rank 25 dungeon level, it's already a very difficult dungeon."
"A master is a master, too amazing."
Xia Qi, having finished collecting the equipment, appeared at the dungeon entrance.
He found that he was once again surrounded by the crowd.
However, this time, everyone was not as excited; they were much calmer than before.
"Student, can you tell us how you killed the Demon Wolf King?"
"That's right, why can you clear it so fast? Do you have any strategies?"
Many people humbly asked Xia Qi for advice.
Xia Qi thought for a moment, then said indifferently, "Just normally slash his waist."
Normally slash the waist?
Everyone was stunned.
This was like saying nothing at all. Who doesn't know that a wolf's weakness is its waist?
The key is, how did he manage to solo it so quickly?
After Xia Qi finished speaking, he walked towards another dungeon nearby.
Rank 25 dungeon: Bat Cave.
The entry requirements are Rank 20 to Rank 27.
The points required for entry are exactly the same as for Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge.
The intensity should also be similar to Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge.
However, through these two dungeons, Xia Qi also noticed some clues.
Shengjing University has a complete mechanism for dungeon Ranks.
For example, the two dungeons Xia Qi chose.
The minimum entry Rank is 20, which is to allow lower Rank students to quickly improve their Rank. The upper limit is Rank 27, which also prevents high-Rank students from wasting too much time, allowing them to continue challenging Advanced dungeons.
This has a very good tempering and cultivating effect for both low-Rank and high-Rank students.
Of course, as students' Ranks gradually increase and their combat experience becomes richer, these requirements will gradually become more lenient.
"nightmare difficulty, Bat Cave."
After spending 20 points, Xia Qi entered the new dungeon.
Outside the dungeon, people were still contemplating the Demon Wolf King problem, when Xia Qi disappeared again.
"Student, I wanted to ask... hey, where is he?"
"No way, he just cleared Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge twice, and now he's entered the Bat Cave. Isn't he tired?"
"I've seen leveling maniacs before, but this is the first time I've seen such a fierce leveling maniac."
"Wow, I suddenly realized how he quickly defeated the Demon Wolf King."
"How did he defeat him?"
"I'm just saying... what if, what if this person's Physique completely surpassed the Demon Wolf King's, wouldn't he defeat him very quickly?"
"...Idiot, he's only Rank 20, how is that possible?"
"Indeed, it's impossible. He must have a special talent, or he used a high-Rank auxiliary Dao tool."
This statement, once uttered, was considered a relatively reasonable inference.
Many people nodded in agreement. Shengjing University has all sorts of people, and some students with deep family backgrounds and strong foundations can indeed achieve this.
It's just that doing so is quite expensive, and the cost far exceeds the value of those few points. Normal people wouldn't do that.
High-Rank auxiliary Dao tools are often expensive, or they are used as trump cards for saving one's life.
Even if one's family owned a mine, they wouldn't waste them in such low-Rank dungeons.
Unless this person was truly foolish and rich.
This kind of inference was very consistent with the cognition of most people. Even if it was very outrageous, it was still much more reliable than the inference that a Rank 20 professional's Physique was stronger than a nightmare difficulty boss.
Thus, imperceptibly, a large portion of people believed that Xia Qi was probably the son of a super-rich family, whose strength was not particularly strong, but who had enough money to make a mill turn a ghost (meaning, money can do anything).
Xia Qi, inside the dungeon, inexplicably sneezed. If he knew that many people outside the dungeon already considered him the son of a super-rich family who owned a mine,
He would probably be so angry he'd want to curse.
If he weren't poor, he wouldn't be willing to relentlessly grind dungeons over and over again like this.
Who doesn't want to slack off a bit?
At this moment, a cold wind swept through the cave. Xia Qi stood at the cave entrance and heard sounds like a baby crying.
The light inside the cave was extremely dim, making it difficult for Xia Qi's vision to see clearly.
SS-grade Divine Fire!
His talent transformed, and flames surged.
His Fire Breathing circulated around his body, emitting a red glow.
Only then did Xia Qi roughly see his surroundings.
This was a narrow and long passage, with rock walls all around. The width of the passage could only accommodate two professionals walking side by side.
The passage looked very deep, and he didn't know where it led.
The constantly blowing cold wind and the omnipresent sound of dripping water made the atmosphere of the entire dungeon even more eerie.
In such a suffocating environment, any professional would feel uncomfortable upon entering.
Bat Cave, as the name suggests, this must be a world belonging to bats.
Xia Qi looked up, at least for now, he hadn't seen any monsters.
He simply walked out of the safe zone and continued deeper along the passage.
The environment inside the Bat Cave was very complex and incredibly winding.
Xia Qi had to constantly pay attention to the ceiling, so the progress of his initial exploration would be relatively slow.
The speed of Fire Breathing was not fast. Since he needed to illuminate, Xia Qi was not in a hurry. He decided to observe the situation first.
There were countless bifurcations throughout the cave, with one cave connecting to another.
Some of the branch paths even had several passages.
These passages were interconnected, forming a labyrinth-like structure similar to a beehive.
Soon, Xia Qi encountered a monster.
[Thunder Bat (Reinforced Elite)]
[Rank: 25]
[Strength: 500]
[Agility: 700]
[Intelligence: 750]
[Physique: 600]
[Skill: Lightning Strike]
It was actually an elemental monster, and Xia Qi really did encounter one.
