106: Divine fire, full fire!

Inside the dungeon, after an hour of exploration, Xia Qi finally cleared the entire dungeon.

“There are a total of 98 caves, and 80 of them contain a considerable number of Bat Monsters.”

“The total number might exceed ten thousand, but I don’t know if it’s fixed or random.”

“We’ll know next time we come in.”

He glanced at his experience; it had reached Rank 21 (15.4%).

One dungeon run increased his experience by over forty percent.

And it was his first time, completed without familiarity with the dungeon’s terrain.

An hour’s efficiency was already very high.

Basically, Xia Qi walked to the end of every passage, just to confirm whether there were still monsters present.

So, most of the time was spent traversing the map, and the actual time spent killing monsters was not much.

Xia Qi believed that the next time he entered, his experience would remain the same, but the time taken would be greatly reduced.

“It’s time to go see the boss.”

He passed through a series of crisscrossing caves, heading towards the deepest part of the dungeon.

To memorize this labyrinthine terrain, Xia Qi also spent some time.

Now that he was familiar with it, he no longer needed to explore slowly; he directly switched to the Divine Lightning talent and ran quickly.

In just a minute or two, Xia Qi found the correct entrance to the boss room.

After passing through one of the passages, in a huge cave, Xia Qi saw the dungeon boss.

Surprisingly, this boss was not the giant bat he had imagined.

Instead, it was a Batman standing seven or eight meters tall.

When it spread its wings, they stretched over ten meters long.

It had a pointed mouth and sharp teeth, and its face resembled that of a mouse.

But its body was that of a muscular strongman.

Facing such a behemoth, Xia Qi was already used to it.

Flame energy covered the silver longsword, and with a whoosh, accompanied by soaring flames, a five-meter-long gigantic Flame Sword formed.

At the same time, the Detection skill also landed on the boss.

[Bat King (Boss Monster)]

[Rank: 27]

[Strength: 999]

[Agility: 899]

[Intelligence: 799]

[Physique: 799]

[Skills: Bloodsucking, Toxin Infection, Energy Bullet]

These attributes were not weaker than the Demon Wolf King; in fact, to some extent, they were much more troublesome than the Demon Wolf King.

The Bloodsucking skill, when the Bat King’s health dropped to half, could directly restore its health to full.

The prerequisite was that it had to absorb blood from a professional.

And this skill could be used repeatedly.

Therefore, the best way to deal with it was to directly eliminate it with extreme output, not giving the Bat King a chance to use Bloodsucking.

However, this was the conventional method for a regular team.

For Xia Qi, there was no need to do so at all.

“Fire Breathing!”

“Flame Dance!”

His eyes were like fire, and violent flames swept across the entire sword body.

Blazing flames rose from beneath his feet, burning a trail.

The moment Flame Dance was unleashed, Xia Qi had already rushed towards the Bat King at the fastest speed.

[Time Jump]

Double speed activated.

Xia Qi’s speed directly doubled.

[Insight Weakness]

[Hundred Percent Empty-Handed Catch!]

Using his customary sword-based passive combo without explanation, Xia Qi rapidly ran to the Bat King’s feet, leaping four or five meters into the air, reaching the Bat King’s waist.

The five-meter-long gigantic Flame Sword’s blade turned, slashing horizontally!

The next second, the blade was sheathed, and the Bat King was directly cut in half at the waist.

Boom!

At the same time as it was cut in half, huge flames erupted from the severed part, causing an explosion.

The hazy flames enveloped the Bat King’s entire body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like blossoming fireworks, explosions rang out one after another.

It exploded more than ten times in a row.

The explosions only stopped when Xia Qi’s internal energy suddenly decreased by one-third.

Normally, the law of no damage with smoke would have failed at this moment.

Facing an explosive output with overflowing damage.

Even if the Bat King could absorb energy, it had no chance to recover health now.

Killed in one hit!

It didn’t even understand what had happened.

It was already blown to pieces, with severed limbs flying everywhere.

[Killed Bat King, Experience +300000]

[Obtained: Silver-Rank Weapon, Bloodsucking Longsword]

[Obtained: Bat King’s Energy Core X1]

[Bloodsucking Longsword: Silver-Rank, Agility +75, Physique +50, grants 5% Bloodsucking effect, usable after Rank 20.]

“When I entered the dungeon, my experience was Rank 20 70%, and now it’s Rank 21 5%.”

“A complete dungeon run can increase experience by 45%.”

“It’s just a pity that it took a bit long, 1 hour and 30 minutes, and didn’t break the clear record.”

“It seems I still need to run it a few more times, and clear the dungeon directly.”

Although Xia Qi’s goal was to level up, who would complain about having too few points and academic credits?

Xia Qi left the dungeon.

After more than an hour, there were not many people outside the dungeon.

Unlike when the record was just broken, it was not overcrowded.

“Classmate, you’re finally out.”

“Why did it take so long this time? Did you not clear the dungeon?”

“The Bat Cave is indeed a bit difficult to clear; there are too many monsters, and it’s a bit tiring to fight alone.”

These people were all kind-hearted.

They were all students of Shengjing University, all classmates.

Perhaps sometime in the future, they would team up to clear dungeons together.

So, these people’s attitudes were very friendly.

Xia Qi shook his head, “I cleared it.”

“Really?”

“You cleared the Bat Cave nightmare difficulty too?”

Xia Qi nodded helplessly, “Why would I lie to you? I really cleared it.”

“Amazing, classmate! You’ve already soloed two nightmare difficulty dungeons.”

“Yeah, although the Bat Cave gives a lot of experience and Materials, it’s actually quite difficult to farm.”

“Classmate, I’m a warrior, a tank build. If you need anything, you can call me to team up next time.”

“Right, right, let’s exchange contact information. Which academy are you from? We can do Trials even if we don’t go into dungeons.”

These people who were asking to add him as a friend and team up were all quite high-Ranked, with the lowest being Rank 28.

And don’t think they were weak; in fact, none of their talents were below S-Rank.

This was all because of Xia Qi’s powerful soloing ability, which made them admire him and willing to make friends.

There were no mediocre talents in Shengjing University; even if they didn’t enter through the college entrance examination, they were still very outstanding disciples in their families.

However, Xia Qi shook his head and refused.

Unless absolutely necessary, he was truly not suited to team up with others.

When they were rejected, those people didn’t say anything, but instead admired Xia Qi even more.

What did this show? It showed that Xia Qi had the heart of a strong person.

He could handle everything by himself.

Just then, Luo Zisheng also came out of a dungeon, and her beautiful eyes lit up when she saw Xia Qi’s figure. She walked over with a beaming smile.

“Junior, you’re really amazing; you even surprised your senior.”

“Then I should thank Senior for the detailed introduction.”

“Is that so?”

Luo Zisheng smiled like a blooming flower, and her delicate, slender arm hooked around Xia Qi’s neck in an instant.

“Junior, how about you treat Senior to a meal now?”

Feeling the delicate, bouncy touch, Xia Qi’s old face flushed, caught off guard.

“Alright… alright.”
