One foot down the mountain

"Awesome!"

Chen Ming's eyes lit up.

Although the entry [Martial Emperor Inheritance] was only a purple-grade entry, its effects far surpassed those of gold-grade entries.

The rewarded skills, equipment, or buffs were all top-tier.

Especially since these three items all provided high bonuses to kicking techniques.

One must know that Chen Ming already had a high damage bonus to kicking techniques from equipping the Source Essence Leggings.

And the class [Martial Emperor] also provided a high bonus to kicking damage.

With multiple damage stacks, it was imaginable how explosive Chen Ming's kicking damage would be.

"Descending the mountain with one kick is no longer a dream!"

A smile unconsciously curved the corner of Chen Ming's mouth.

He could imagine the scene in the future where someone treating him as an ordinary Ranger tried to close in for a kill, only for him to unleash a kick that shocked the enemy.

Moreover, kicking techniques counted as normal attacks, having no cooldown or cost, allowing for infinite use.

"My previous line of thought was correct."

"In terms of melee capability, I can fully focus on cultivating kicking techniques."

Muttering under his breath, Chen Ming turned his gaze to the fourth class slot.

[Fourth Class: Martial Emperor]

[Type: Unique Hidden Class.]

[Growth Attributes: Level +1/Strength +30 points, Intelligence +10 points, Agility +15 points, Stamina +2 points, Spirit +20 points, Free Attribute +30 points.]

[Class Trait One: The damage you deal to enemies with all your melee attacks/skills is increased by 300%.]

[Class Trait Two: Every time you attack, there is a 45% chance to deal double damage.]

[Class Trait Three: All your skills/attacks ignore 50% of the enemy's physical/magical defense.]

[Class Trait Four: The lower your Health, the higher your damage.]

[Class Trait Five: Every time your Health drops by 10%, you can enter an invulnerable state lasting 2 seconds.]

...Good heavens!

As expected of a Unique Hidden Class, every one of the five class trait bonuses provided by the [Martial Emperor] class was incredibly overpowered.

"Now, I truly lack nothing!"

Chen Ming's mood became excellent.

"Roar, roar!!"

Just then, a roar suddenly sounded.

A giant Chasm monster, abnormally huge in size, spotted Chen Ming and charged over with roars.

This monster was none other than the dungeon's final boss—the Chasm Leader.

Its Health bar reached a whopping 12 million points, and its overall average attributes exceeded 10,000 points.

Moreover, influenced by some unknown factor,

the originally level 75 Platinum-grade boss had actually evolved into a level 80 Dark Gold Grade Boss.

"Human..."

"You killed... Her Highness."

"I will make you pay."

Broken roars and growls came from the monster's mouth, its pair of pitch-black eyes now filled with rage.

Seeing this, Chen Ming's expression did not change in the slightest.

He wasn't even slightly surprised by the sudden evolution of the dungeon's final boss.

This was because, in his previous life, he had experienced the exact same situation.

According to the mechanism of the [Cave Disaster] dungeon, as long as the [Crypt Civilization Princess] died, the dungeon's final boss would evolve from a Platinum-grade boss into a Dark Gold Grade Boss.

"Perfect timing."

"I'll use you to test my current damage."

Seeing the [Chasm Leader] charging over, a smile suddenly curved Chen Ming's lips, and he decisively activated a skill.

Explosive Foot. Wind God Leg!

The moment the skill activated, a special energy fluctuation rippled outwards.

The next moment, Chen Ming's figure vanished strangely from his spot!

The [Chasm Leader] was slightly stunned, completely unaware of what had happened.

But suddenly, a sense of crisis flared up in its heart,

It subconsciously looked back.

It saw that Chen Ming had somehow appeared behind it.

"Roar, roar!!"

"Human, go accompany the Princess to the grave."

When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred.

Without any hesitation, the [Chasm Leader] roared and lunged at Chen Ming.

However, Chen Ming's speed was clearly faster than its own.

"End it!"

A low whisper was heard, and the next moment, Chen Ming violently threw out a side kick.

"Boom, boom!!"

Violent explosions rang out. Before the [Chasm Leader] could react, it felt an immense force and was sent flying uncontrollably.

At the same time, a damage number comparable to a phone number slowly floated above its head.

-2.304e points (Critical Hit. true damage).

"Bang, bang!!"

Under this terrifying damage figure, the [Chasm Leader]'s Health bar was instantly emptied, and its entire body dissolved into a mist of blood in mid-air.

[Ding Dong, you have successfully slain the dungeon's final boss—Chasm Leader, Experience +2.25 million points.]

[Title 'ill form the head' effect activated, gaining a tenfold experience bonus, Experience +22.5 million points.]

[Ding Dong, your experience points are full, Level increased to 52.]

[Ding Dong, you have successfully cleared the dungeon—Cave Disaster (abyssal level), Time taken: 5 minutes 32 seconds.]

[Congratulations on breaking the fastest clear record for the dungeon 'Cave Disaster' (abyssal level), Reward received: leveling gem (Epic-grade).]

[Your clear record will be recorded, Anonymous?]

[Yes/No!]

"Not anonymous!"

Looking at the string of prompts that popped up, Chen Ming decisively chose not to be anonymous.

Hiding his identity had never been his style.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"One kick dealt over two billion damage, and that wasn't even after charging up with a Miracle."

A smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Ming's lips.

The damage output of his current kicking techniques could only be described as explosive.

Let alone players of the same tier, even Tier Five, Six, or even Tier Seven players might not be able to withstand one full-power kick from him.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming nodded in satisfaction and then turned his gaze to the reward for breaking the record.

[leveling gem]

[Quality: Epic-grade.]

[Effect: Upon use, level increases by 2 levels.]

[Note: This item is only effective for players below Tier Four.]

...What a good item!

Jumping up 2 levels could save a significant amount of leveling time.

"Enhance!"

With this thought, Chen Ming decisively activated his Forbidden Talent on the [leveling gem].

"Buzz buzz!!"

A faint glow burst forth, enveloping the [leveling gem].

[Ding Dong, you activated the Forbidden Talent on the target [leveling gem], gaining a Tier One enhancement.]

[Ding Dong, congratulations on obtaining the item—source energy gem (Legendary-Grade).]

[Ding Dong, you activated the Forbidden Talent on the target [leveling gem], successfully affixing the blue affix: Amplify 30%.]
