14: Topped the all-time playthrough leaderboard!

Su Yan entered the dungeon again.

This time he was fully prepared, with a clear goal.

Shorten the clear time as much as possible to get the first-place reward!

Let's do it!

Swish!

Inside the long and narrow, dim valley, Demon Slayer's figure suddenly flickered forward.

Accompanied by a faint light, he instantly appeared 30 meters away.

This was the displacement skill Su Yan had just purchased using the auction house pass: Blazing Light Flash.

A very popular all-class displacement skill.

Price: 2,000 gold coins.

Thud, thud, thud!

After the displacement, Su Yan charged forward with his staff in hand to face the pack of Silver Wolves not far ahead.

With his heroic posture, it was hard to tell for a moment whether he was a warrior or a mage.

He threw a Fireball Spell at the leading Silver Wolf from 15 meters away, and the fireball immediately engulfed the Silver Wolf's body.

Bang, explosion!

Fireball Spell, the most basic skill for fire mages.

As a God's Wrath Mage, Su Yan was proficient in all elements, so he could naturally learn it.

Auction House price: 10 gold coins.

After this Fireball Spell was thrown,

This little fireball probably never imagined in its life that it could one day be so fierce.

-22,821!

Brilliant blood-red numbers jumped up.

Overkill damage!

The Silver Wolf mob, with only 5,000 HP, was instantly killed!

After putting on his equipment, Demon Slayer's base damage had become terrifying.

Of course, whether it was equipment or skills, everything had been baptized by Su Yan's Talent, Elemental Conversion.

"Faster, I need to be even faster!"

Su Yan muttered to himself.

Meanwhile,

After the conjured Fireball Spell insta-killed the Silver Wolf, the out-of-combat attribute of the swift wind set was triggered.

Speed increased by another 2 times on top of the current base for 10 seconds.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In an instant, Demon Slayer's forward momentum didn't stop.

He left trails of afterimages behind him, moving so fast it was as if his body was running in front while his soul was chasing from behind.

Next, Fireball Spell entered cooldown, but it didn't matter.

Su Yan also had Frost Arrow, Thunderbolt, Rock Blast, Hurricane... all were basic skills of various elements that could be learned and used at Rank 1.

But in Demon Slayer's hands now, they were all definitely insta-kill skills.

Entering combat, leaving combat... in such a continuous cycle, Su Yan's movement speed was as fast as lightning. The afterimages behind him flickered wildly, almost unable to keep up.

And after finishing a few skills, the displacement skill Blazing Light Flash connected perfectly.

After the displacement, Fireball Spell was ready again... Su Yan felt very refreshed.

For him, the biggest difficulty in soloing a dungeon lay in pulling mobs.

After all, a five-person team can split up; with a well-coordinated team, pulling mobs doesn't actually take much time.

But with such a combination of skills from various elements, Su Yan was confident he could achieve the same efficiency as a five-person team.

Sparks and lightning all the way.

When Su Yan quickly reached the boss, the Silver Wolf King, only a bit over 3 minutes had passed.

"It's in the bag."

Su Yan's eyes were burning, and his heartstrings completely relaxed.

Ignoring the Silver Wolf King's posturing performance, at the moment the boss's HP bar appeared.

Su Yan waved his staff, and Judgment and Sanction were thrown out simultaneously.

Bang!

Before Judgment even had time to judge a result.

The base damage of Sanction had already exploded within the Silver Wolf King's burly body.

"Human ant, this is impossible!!"

The Silver Wolf King's eyes were full of shock as he let out a roar like a tsunami.

Mountains collapsed and the earth trembled.

The Silver Wolf King was insta-killed again!

...At the same time.

A world announcement sounded:

"Congratulations to player [Demon Slayer] for solo clearing the Wolf King Valley Dungeon! Time: 3 minutes 59 seconds!

Clear Evaluation: SSS-Rank!"

...As soon as this announcement came out, the Land of Divine Punishment fell into a frenzy again.

All Human Race Players were shocked, stunned in place for a long time.

Then they were ecstatic,

Wild joy, celebration! They felt the glory!

Wuhu! Big shot Demon Slayer started soloing the Wolf King Valley Dungeon again!

And the clear time is more terrifying each time; this time it only took 3 minutes 59 seconds!

How on earth did Demon Slayer do it?

No one knew.

But what everyone knew was.

The era of Demon Slayer had arrived!

With this clear, Demon Slayer,

Officially surpassed the team led by Human Emperor Mo Wen, ending Mo Wen's 198-year reign over Wolf King Valley, and forcefully reached the top of the all-time leaderboard!

And in one stroke, he pushed the clear record of this dungeon into the 3-minute era!

News of Demon Slayer reaching the top spread.

Soon.

The Demon Slaying Institute, Asura City, Red Pavilion, the Supreme Command of the frontline Divine Strategy Legion, and even other countries and the Human Race Alliance... top human experts were all alarmed, dozens of eyes peering toward Wolf King Valley.

But in the end, they found they were peering at nothing!

Demon Slayer,

Unobservable, invisible!

...At this moment.

Inside the Wolf King Valley Dungeon.

Su Yan, who had successfully broken the clear record, was deaf to the commotion outside.

For him.

Rankings and such were all trivial; the most important thing was the ranking reward.

"I wonder what big treasure will be rewarded this time."

Su Yan quickly checked the rewards.

The basic dungeon rewards weren't much to look at.

It was still experience and a truckload of Silver Wolf meat, plus two Rank 50 A-Rank pieces of equipment.

Su Yan couldn't wait to see the first-place leaderboard reward.

[300,000 Gold Coins], [All Stats +200], [Flame Forbidden Curse LV1]

The rewards were very generous!

"It actually rewarded a Forbidden Curse-level skill!"

This surprised Su Yan slightly.

Forbidden Curses were the exclusive skills of the hidden class, Forbidden Curse Mage.

Their power was not inferior to SSS-rank Skills.

[Flame Forbidden Curse LV1]: This Forbidden Curse casts Flame Burst on enemies within a 100-meter radius, dealing 200 (+270% Magic Power) magic damage.

And inflicts the Heart Fire Burning effect on non-fire element enemies.

[Heart Fire Burning]: Marks the enemy with a Weak to Fire status, increasing fire damage taken by 50% for 2 hours.

CD: 100 seconds.

Cost: 1,000 Mana... Holy crap, 2 hours!

When he saw the duration of Heart Fire Burning, Su Yan almost lost his composure.

This Flame Forbidden Curse is a bit broken.

Not only is the AOE damage enough to rival Asura Slash, but it also applies a 2-hour Weak to Fire status to targets lucky enough to survive!

Isn't this just cheating?

"Very good, I like it!"

Su Yan didn't hide his love for the Flame Forbidden Curse and learned it directly without hesitation.

Well, both their names have 'Yan' in them; it's practically a natal Forbidden Curse.

After learning the Flame Forbidden Curse,

Su Yan's trump card, or rather his hole card, became one bit stronger.

"No wonder the Human Emperors in history rose like rockets.

After all, getting SSS-Rank equipment and skills just by clearing a dungeon—I could do it too."

After a bit of joking, Su Yan was satisfied and left the dungeon... Outside the dungeon,

As Demon Slayer's figure appeared, the crowd went wild.

"Look! Demon Slayer is out!"

"Demon Slayer! Demon Slayer!"

"Big shot Demon Slayer, I'm your super fan! Can I add you as a friend?"

"Are you taking disciples, big shot? I'm even willing to be your dog!"

At the dungeon entrance, countless players scrambled to surround him, blocking the entrance completely.

These players were at least Rank 50.

There were also many high-level players who came from other maps after hearing the news, and even a few top-tier players at Rank 1,000.

They all enthusiastically surrounded Demon Slayer, who was only Rank 1, with a level of obsession comparable to fans at a celebrity's airport arrival.

Encountering such a scene as soon as he came out, Su Yan couldn't help but feel a bit flattered.

It wasn't the headache he imagined; instead, he felt these players were somewhat cute.

He smiled at the players and said:

"Sorry, I still need to run the dungeon. Everyone, please disperse."

Seeing that the future Human Emperor actually spoke, the crowd became excited and agitated again.

In their impression,

The four Human Emperors with SSS-Rank Talents were always cold and mysterious; let alone speaking, they rarely even showed their faces.

But big shot Demon Slayer, so powerful yet so approachable—who wouldn't love that?

"Great Demon Slayer, are you going to break the clear record again?"

"Does that mean this result hasn't reached your limit yet?"

"Demon Slayer, Demon Slayer, when will you level up to Rank 2?"

Countless questions came from the mouths of these players.

Su Yan shook his head helplessly and could only talk to the dungeon NPC, disappearing in a flash of white light.

These people are really too bored!

...Seeing Demon Slayer enter the dungeon.

The players didn't leave; instead, they all waited in front of the dungeon entrance with faces full of excitement and anticipation.

The purpose was simple.

To witness the birth of a new clear record together!
