160: Chapter 160 Xuanji's Shock: Is He Even Allowing Anyone to Work?

In the wilderness of Ta City. Deep within a jungle, a faint light flickered amidst swirling black mist. This was the entrance to the Dungeon.

When Zhang Jian and his team formed their party and submerged their consciousness, they discovered that an additional option had appeared among the choices: [Abyss Frontier].

"The monster Rank in this Dungeon differs too greatly from your team's average Rank. Please choose carefully!"

The blood-red warning looked intimidating, but Zhang Jian ignored it directly.

Rank difference too large? That's exactly what I want. Without a large difference, where would the experience bonus for exceeding Ranks come from?

With a flash of light, the five of them entered together.

Hai Mengen and Yun Haiyi both looked somewhat worried. "With such a high-Rank Dungeon, can they handle it?"

Ye Xun, however, looked completely unconcerned. "My two lords, this just shows you don't know Zhang Jian well enough."

"The monsters outside the city these past few days—which one of them didn't have a high Rank?"

Hai Mengen sighed. "The terrain outside the city is open, providing plenty of room to dodge, and they aren't as troublesome as the monsters in the Dungeon. I'm still a bit worried."

Instructor Wang Weidong and Ming Li were also deeply worried, but they didn't speak, instead pressing their palms together to pray for Zhang Jian.

The group chatted as they waited. Within a few minutes, the figures of Zhang Jian and his team flickered and appeared simultaneously.

"How was it?" Yun Haiyi asked with concern.

Wang Fei made an OK gesture with his hand. "Everything went smoothly; we've already activated Hell difficulty."

Ye Tianchen was also excited. "Brother Jian said we should strive to clear the Extreme difficulty in one go!"

Wang Fei quickly gave a few instructions to Wei Donglai and the others. Without even stopping to chat with the people outside, they all re-entered the Dungeon together.

Only the astonished group remained. Instructor Wang Weidong's jaw dropped. "Just one attempt, and they directly got an SSS-Rank evaluation and activated Hell difficulty?"

Hai Mengen was even more bewildered. "And they want to clear the Extreme difficulty in one go?"

Beside him, Yun Haiyi was also full of disbelief. "Clearing the Level 35 one easily is one thing, but jumping 10 levels at once—isn't that a bit blindly confident?"

The group was immersed in complex emotions, unable to comprehend what was happening for a moment.

Swoosh! When the figures of Zhang Jian and his team appeared again, Yun Haiyi actually breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed they had failed. But being able to retreat in one piece was already a stroke of luck.

But when the phenomenon appeared in the sky again, he was completely dumbfounded. They actually succeeded?

It's only been a few minutes; are they treating a Level 45 Hell difficulty Dungeon like a beginner trial Dungeon?

...

Galaxy Academy office building. In the Dean's office, Xuan Jizi was tapping on his latest model optical computer, browsing through various documents.

During the few days he had been in deep sleep, the Academy had accumulated some important matters that required his signature for confirmation.

He had finally slowly digested the changes in his strength from his consecutive three-Rank increase and now had spare time to slowly handle these matters.

However, he had only just approved two documents when his expression changed. This familiar feeling—could the Rank cap have been broken again?

He pushed open the huge floor-to-ceiling window, felt the changes in the aura outside, and his eyes gleamed. It really was!

That a Hell difficulty Dungeon had been cleared and the Rank cap broken again in such a short time was truly something he hadn't expected.

Could it be that kid Zhang Jian again? He speculated in his heart.

He glanced at the experience required for his next upgrade on the panel: 1.7207982198 billion points. He breathed a sigh of relief. That was fortunate.

After reaching Level 99, he had gone into Dungeons a few times with some old friends and farmed some experience. Although the amount wasn't massive, it was still over ten billion.

Although the experience required for the previous upgrades had been gradually increasing, the margins weren't large. With his current experience, even increasing another two or three levels wouldn't be a problem.

It was just that the documents on hand had been piling up for several days and were quite urgent. If he started absorbing energy and upgrading now, he was afraid he would be delayed again.

A thought stirred in his mind, and his Mental Energy began to circulate, attempting to suppress and delay the transformation that the power was exerting on his body.

However, just after sitting at his desk and processing two more documents, Boom! His mind suddenly exploded.

Xuan Jizi's gaze instantly froze. No mistake, in such a short time, it's happening again?

If this was all the work of that kid Zhang Jian, that would be too terrifying. Could it be that his job transfer quest was completed, his strength had increased significantly, and he had started clearing Dungeons like crazy?

Many questions arose in his mind, and he began to guess wildly. But two consecutive Rank cap Breakthroughs in such a short time...

Even the Heavenly Dao seemed a bit caught off guard. An ordinary Professional might not feel it, but for a powerhouse of their Saint level, the sensation was too intense.

Xuan Jizi already felt the uncontrollable craving within his body to absorb energy and fuse his strength.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly sent a message to the Reception Envoy. "Urgent matter, I'm going into deep sleep first!"

After briefly authorizing the other party with his Dean's privileges, he hurriedly returned to his secret chamber, spread his limbs, and slowly lay down.

Before closing his eyes, there was clearly a hint of anticipation in his gaze. When he woke up again, what kind of strength would he have?

...

By the fifth time clearing the Extreme difficulty, Zhang Jian had become somewhat accustomed to it. Wang Fei and the others were also much calmer. Only Ye Tianchen still looked incredibly excited.

Just now in the Dungeon, his mecha [wind walker] had truly stolen the show. Relying on its movement speed increased to 350%, it was simply a lightning-fast existence in the Dungeon.

From beginning to end, he almost never left Zhang Jian's time limit. He ensured Wang Fei's support skills served Zhang Jian perfectly throughout, earning praise from him.

He truly felt his role in the team, and a sense of honor welled up in his heart. The large amount of experience gained in the Dungeon allowed [wind walker] to level up once more.

Looking at the improvements in all-around attributes, he felt a great sense of accomplishment. In the Heavenly Dao phenomenon, he stood on the steps again, no longer as curious or flustered as the first time.

Instead, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the wonderful feeling brought by that mysterious power.

Until the phenomenon disappeared and the aura within his body became stable, he finally examined this Heavenly Dao reward.

[Mecha Armament] The mecha you Cultivate and summon can be equipped with two pieces of gear not exceeding the mecha's own Rank. Currently activatable gear slots: Armor, Leg Guards.

Ye Tianchen's eyes lit up. The talent skill from last time had actually upgraded again! In that case, [wind walker] could equip one more piece of gear.

After requesting a Level 30 legendary rank pair of leg guards from the Chief of Internal Affairs, Wang Fei, and equipping them onto [wind walker], the mecha's overall HP soared by 100,000 points due to the increase in base stamina and percentage HP, reaching a terrifying level of 620,000.

After the others finished their respective upgrades, everyone's confidence grew even stronger. They had already cleared two stages in a row. Next, it was time for a new challenge. The Level 55 Dungeon [Abyss Core], let's go!
