What do you mean by cuckold? Can you even speak?

Zhao Hao couldn't help but exclaim first: "Brother, what's going on with you? Are you directly cuckolding people?"

Li Xunle glared at Zhao Hao, annoyed: "Cuckolding what? Can't you speak properly?"

Zhao Hao immediately explained: "That Giant Rock Monster that died in about three seconds just now had dozens of green halos on its head. Doesn't it look like a cuckold's hat?"

Li Xunle was instantly speechless by his words.

This guy's imagination is really strong… He never learns anything good, just thinks nonsense all day.

He simply couldn't be bothered to answer.

He continued to wave his wooden staff, releasing one green light after another.

If the previous green lights were like daggers,

after Li Xunle's control, those dagger-sized green lights converged, like a ball of green light.

He had a sudden idea and divided the green light into 7 clusters.

Six of these clusters each contained 50 green lights, and the remaining cluster contained 30 green lights.

In total, there were exactly 330 green lights.

This way, he could precisely hit 7 Giant Rock Monsters.

There were exactly 7 Giant Rock Monsters on the field.

Each Giant Rock Monster would die within 2 to 4 seconds, completely unable to get close to Li Xunle and the others.

One must know that each dagger-like green light was equivalent to a 1% health deduction per second.

With 50 green lights stacked, it was equivalent to a 50% health deduction per second.

Who the hell could withstand that?

If the casting range was further and the number of targets was greater, then this skill would become even more abnormal.

Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan saw this scene, and the astonishment in their hearts was beyond words.

They could only secretly think: "It's truly too abnormal!"

From the crimson six-pointed star magic array, five or six Giant Rock Monsters would emerge every once in a while.

As soon as the monsters emerged, they were hit by several clusters of green light.

After struggling for two or three seconds, they fell heavily, kicking up dust, and then dropped some equipment and gems.

They posed no threat whatsoever to Li Xunle and the others.

Zhao Hao saw that the emerging monsters were completely insufficient to kill, and chuckled: "Brother, it seems we don't need to run anymore?"

Li Xunle looked calm and nodded: "Indeed, you can rest."

Zhao Hao, Xia Bingxue, and Tan Huan saw that Li Xunle had no pressure, and the monsters couldn't get close at all. They could only lean against the edge, staring blankly.

Time slowly passed.

The monsters were completely in a state of undersupply.

Every once in a while, a few would emerge, then after another while, a few more would emerge.

Li Xunle began to frown.

This speed was too slow.

The entire process actually lasted half an hour.

It wasn't that his speed was slow, but that the monster refresh rate was a bit slow.

If the monster refresh mechanism became even slower later on,

then there were still 98 stages left.

Excluding rest time, could they clear 10 stages a day?

If not, at this rate, it was still unknown if he could participate in the Three Great Academies Competition… Days passed by… In a blink of an eye, fifteen days passed, and Li Xunle and the others were still on the seventy-eighth stage.

They underestimated the complexity of the Demon Tower Secret Realm.

Some of the mechanisms inside were actually mazes… What was even more infuriating!

There were even monsters in the mazes… This greatly troubled them.

It meant they had to kill monsters while navigating the maze.

This took much more time than simply killing monsters.

Every time they encountered a maze with monsters, it would take them more than half a day… Li Xunle also noticed a pattern:

The tenth, twentieth, thirtieth stages… every tenth stage was a maze-plus-monster mode.

Whether it was Li Xunle, Zhao Hao, or Xia Bingxue, Tan Huan, they all found that mode very troublesome.

Because it was very possible… to turn a corner and encounter a monster!

If Li Xunle hadn't had Wind of Revival, the three of them would probably have already perished inside.

Even Li Xunle, facing suddenly appearing monsters, would be startled.

Although he knew he wouldn't die, he was startled many times.

However,

having reached the seventy-eighth stage, they had reaped considerable rewards.

Each of their character inventories was now packed full of equipment and gems.

And almost all of it was relatively good equipment.

The worst were at least one-star good equipment; anything worse had been discarded.

Li Xunle regretted not bringing two more people to pick up equipment.

Otherwise, he could have earned more money.

The equipment in their inventories now included 365 one-star items, 256 two-star items, 128 three-star items, 68 four-star items, and 21 five-star items.

There were also over a hundred gems, including attribute gems, star-up gems, and equipment upgrade gems.

Moreover, none of the equipment they wore was below three stars.

Four-star equipment was their mainstream gear.

Only a few five-star items were suitable.

Things like bows, spears, shields, and long knives were useless to them.

But one must know, even four-star equipment was considered top-tier in the market, and three-star was high-tier equipment.

For many people, these were already luxury items.

However,

regrettably, they did not obtain a single six-star item.

Because they hadn't encountered a single six-star monster yet.

Furthermore,

their level growth was very slow; Li Xunle, with the highest level, was only level 42.

Zhao Hao was level 40, and Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan were only level 38.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but say, "Brother, I feel that after level 30, the leveling speed seems to have slowed down!"

Tan Huan also nodded, "Yes, I feel it too."

Li Xunle, however, seemed to understand perfectly: "Don't forget, we've only been here for fifteen days. You know, Dean Guan, after all these years, is only level 72."

Xia Bingxue nodded: "It seems you have a point."

Throughout the entire process, Xia Bingxue was the happiest.

Because the equipment in the four of their bags would ultimately be acquired by her family.

She knew this equipment very well and was confident it would shock her father.

And it could generate a lot of profit.

It could also increase her presence within the family.

Li Xunle calmly said: "Let's hurry to the next stage!"

Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan nodded repeatedly, and Tan Huan immediately reminded: "Right, let's see if we can clear the stages as quickly as possible and go back to participate in the Three Great Academies Competition. I heard the champion's reward is very rich, and the champion's academy will also receive considerable rewards and funding."

"Oh?" Li Xunle immediately became interested: "Rich rewards, what kind of rewards?"

Tan Huan was excited: "High-level equipment and skill books, at least five-star, or even six-star."

Li Xunle immediately lost interest: "Is there no cash reward?"

Tan Huan immediately shook her head: "Of course there is! But what's the point of money? Some equipment and skill books can't be bought with money!"

Li Xunle looked at Tan Huan with disdain: "It seems rich people all talk like this…"

"…"

Tan Huan didn't answer, but instead wondered: Is money really that important?

She never lacked money and indeed had no interest in it.

Li Xunle said lightly: "Don't think so much. The Three Great Academies Competition starts in 5 days, and it's not even certain we can get out by then."

Zhao Hao gloated from the side: "I'm just going to be an extra whether I participate or not…"

Xia Bingxue was a little worried: "If we don't go back today, I wonder if the academy will worry about us."

Li Xunle said casually: "This situation has happened before, the academy teachers should be able to judge."

Xia Bingxue nodded: "I hope so!"
