42: Chapter 42 Breaking Records!

[Ding! You killed Dragonman Lord Balzac, experience points increased by 15,000!]

[Ding! Obtained loot Dragon Scale Legguards, Sky Crystal Stone!]

[Ding! Obtained Rare-grade soul of death x1!]

Lu Yin looked at the massive body on the ground, extended his palm, and said indifferently.

"For your monarch..."

A dark purple light enveloped Balzac's corpse.

The massive body began to tremble slightly, and the dark red scales gradually turned into a deep purple-black.

The originally scarlet eyes reopened, flickering with a cold, eerie light.

[Dark Dragonman Lord Balzac]

[Level: 3 (Nightmare-grade BOSS)]

[Strength: 500, Constitution: 5500]

[Agility: 470, Spirit: 5000]

[Skills: Dragon Blood Boiling, Berserk Thrust, Fearful Screech, Earth Impact, Death Piercing]

In addition to the attribute growth, a new skill called Death Piercing appeared.

[Death Piercing: Deals physical damage equal to skill level × physical attack power + strength value to enemies in a straight line ahead, with a knockback effect. Cooldown: 1 minute, Mana Cost: 500 points]

Lu Yin checked the attributes and nodded with satisfaction.

[Ding! Congratulations on breaking the Dragonman Canyon (Nightmare Difficulty) clear record. Clear time: 1 hour, 17 minutes, 32 seconds!]

As the return teleportation array appeared, another notification sound rang out.

Lu Yin was not surprised at all. He withdrew the Death Legion and stepped onto the teleportation array to exit the Dungeon.

And just as Lu Yin killed Dragonman Lord Balzac, the broadcast in the external Dungeon area suddenly made an announcement.

[Congratulations to Lance Corporal Lu Yin for breaking the Dragonman Canyon Nightmare Difficulty clear record. Clear time: 1 hour, 17 minutes, 32 seconds!]

The broadcast echoed in the Dungeon area, and the originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked toward the Dungeon exit in unison.

"1 hour and 17 minutes? How is that possible!" A warrior who was forming a party suddenly stood up and said in disbelief.

"The original record was 3 hours and 42 minutes. Someone actually shortened the record by more than two hours?"

"A corporal? Nightmare difficulty? Could it be?! The one who entered the Dungeon alone just now?"

As the light of the teleportation array gradually dissipated, Lu Yin's figure reappeared in the Dungeon area.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, filled with shock and a hint of bewilderment.

"It... it really is him? And it only took less than an hour and a half?"

Someone murmured to themselves, sounding exceptionally clear in the silence.

"How is this possible? Even a level 35 elite team couldn't clear the Nightmare difficulty Dragonman Canyon this fast!"

"Could it be that he is a Mythic Professional?!"

As soon as the words 'Mythic Professional' came out, everyone's breathing hitched.

But Lu Yin didn't care about the surrounding commotion; he just calmly checked his experience bar.

"My experience has increased quite a bit. I should be able to level up after a few more runs."

He whispered to himself and glanced at the Dungeon cooldown time.

"A three-hour cooldown is actually shorter than expected."

However, his Dungeon clearing speed was simply too fast. It was unlikely he could cycle between two Dungeons as Wei Xiaoxiao had suggested.

Then Lu Yin walked toward another Dungeon entrance and chose the Orc Outpost.

Still Nightmare difficulty, still soloing.

Although he knew there were rewards for breaking Dungeon records, for convenience, he planned to go through all the Dungeons he could clear.

He would collect all the rewards at once to avoid wasting time.

Since the Orc Outpost was the same level as Dragonman Canyon, although the monsters were different, their attributes were not much different.

Pushing all the way to the end, the Dungeon BOSS was a mountain-sized green-skinned orc wearing heavy armor and with hideous tusks.

No nonsense, just an instant kill.

[Ding! You killed Orc Warlord Grom, experience points increased by 16,000!]

[Ding! Obtained loot Berserk Battleaxe, Beast King Belt!]

[Ding! Obtained Rare-grade soul of death x1!]

Lu Yin stood before the Orc Warlord's massive corpse and stretched out his palm, the purple-black light appearing once again.

"Rise..."

Grom's huge body began to tremble, his green skin gradually turning gray, his tusks becoming even more hideous, and his eyes glowing with a cold purple light.

[Death Orc Warlord Grom]

[Level: 3 (Nightmare-grade BOSS)]

[Strength: 650, Constitution: 6500]

[Agility: 380, Spirit: 3800]

[Skills: Skull-Crushing Heavy Strike, War Cry Command, Death Whirl, Rapid Self-Healing, Blood-Rage Berserk]

Again, attributes were improved, and a brand new skill was obtained.

At the same time, the notifications for Lu Yin and the external broadcast sounded simultaneously.

[Ding! Congratulations to Lance Corporal Lu Yin for breaking the Orc Outpost (Nightmare Difficulty) clear record. Clear time: 1 hour, 9 minutes, 21 seconds!]

The entire Dungeon area fell into a deathly silence once again.

Everyone's expressions froze as they stared blankly at Lu Yin, who had just stepped out of the teleportation array.

"Breaking two Nightmare difficulty records in a row, and both times were shortened by more than two hours!"

"Who exactly is he? Even a Mythic Professional wouldn't be this perverted, right?"

"..."

Lu Yin was long accustomed to this kind of situation, and he continued to search for Dungeons on his own.

"He's still going?"

"Wait, even for a Mythic Professional, it's impossible for their mana to last this long!"

At this moment, all the recruits seemed to have lost the ability to think.

What was happening before their eyes had already exceeded their understanding.

Many people even stopped leveling up and just watched the Dungeon Lu Yin had entered.

They wanted to see exactly how many Dungeon records he could break in a row.

And not long after Lu Yin entered, the Dungeon administrator walked over quickly.

Breaking two Dungeon records in a row was something he had never encountered in his many years of management.

Before long, along with the flashing light at the Dungeon entrance, the broadcast voice rang out again.

[Ding! Congratulations to Lance Corporal Lu Yin...]

Breaking three clear records in a row, and the clear times were all significantly shortened.

This inhuman gap made people feel that Lu Yin was simply a monster.

"My experience is already over halfway. It seems reaching level 15 today won't be a problem."

Lu Yin's gaze swept over the remaining Dungeons that hadn't entered cooldown, and he whispered to himself.

Just as he was about to step into the teleportation array again, a middle-aged man in an officer's uniform walked over quickly, wearing a Second Lieutenant's rank on his chest.

"corporal, please wait a moment!"

The Second Lieutenant's voice carried a hint of urgency, yet remained polite.

Lu Yin paused his steps and turned back to give him a flat look.

The Second Lieutenant took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart, and spoke.

"I am the person in charge of the Dungeon area, Second Lieutenant Li Mingyuan."

"Could we have a word in private?"

Lu Yin frowned upon hearing this, but he did not refuse.

After all, he was in a military camp, so he wasn't afraid of anyone with ill intentions.

As they arrived at Li Mingyuan's office, Li Mingyuan spoke with a smile.

"I already know about Lance corporal Lu's deeds. Slaying an Abyssal Demon General makes you a great hero of our human race."

"Your Excellency Second Lieutenant, let's skip the small talk. I wonder what exactly you are looking for me for?"

Lu Yin said bluntly.

Seeing Lu Yin being so direct, Li Mingyuan was stunned for a moment and then said somewhat awkwardly.

"Lance corporal Lu, you have broken the records of three Nightmare-level Dungeons in a row. This is unprecedented in the history of the military camp."

"According to military camp regulations, record breakers can receive corresponding rewards."

"But the thing is, the records you've set are unprecedented and likely won't be surpassed by anyone in the future."

"So, in order not to discourage other soldiers' enthusiasm, these clear records of yours might be removed."
