CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33, CLASSMATES’ SHOCK _1

Wang Gang and Murong Xue stood to the side.

Wang Gang said excitedly, "Boss, come on, one sword to kill..."

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH...

Ten swords killed the monster.

"Let’s go, on to the next level. The alert range of this monster is ten meters; I hope we don’t encounter any with an alert range that covers the whole screen."

The Level 20 monsters posed no challenge to Jiang Chen, who killed them effortlessly with his terrifying power amplified a hundredfold.

[Double-headed King Kong Demon]

[Level: 21]

[HP: 13,000/13,000]

[Physical Attack Power: 130-150]

[Physical Defense: 90-120]

[Magic Defense: 90-130]

The Demonic Double-Headed Kong, standing four meters tall, clad in black and with blood-red eyes, looked terrifying indeed.

Wang Gang used the Identification Technique and exclaimed, "Level 20, over 13,000 HP! Such a horrifying amount of HP, and its Physical Defense is as high as 150."

Murong Xue frowned deeply; such a monster could easily kill them with a single strike.

After reaching Level 15, both Murong Xue and Wang Gang kept their distance from the monsters, not daring to get close.

Jiang Chen unsheathed his sword and slashed...

-10,000

Jiang Chen frowned; the Demonic King Kong wasn’t killed instantly. Its defense was very strong, even stronger than the goblins’.

ROAR...

Ten Double-headed King Kong Demons roared in unison, charging towards Jiang Chen, causing the ground to tremble violently.

Jiang Chen activated Crosswise Sword Qi Mode, surrounding himself with a hundred Sword Auras.

Jiang Chen was also glad these Demonic King Kongs used Physical Attacks, and waited for them to enter his two-meter Realm.

Auto-attack mode activated.

The hundred Sword Auras instantly killed the Demonic King Kongs. Each Sword Aura dealt 10,000 damage to their HP; a hundred Sword Auras meant a million in damage, more than enough to take down the ten Double-headed King Kong Demons.

Wang Gang said excitedly, "Boss, that’s incredible! What kind of move is that? With so many Sword Auras swirling around you, you look invincible! I bet even Level 50 monsters would be killed instantly. You could clear the entire Tower of Trial with that."

Murong Xue shook her head, "I’m afraid it’s not that simple. Level 50 Demonic Beings have very high HP, at least several hundred thousand, and their defense is absurdly high. Only if someone were wearing Level 50 equipment could they stand a chance."

Jiang Chen replied with a smile, "I never planned on clearing the Tower of Trial."

Jiang Chen didn’t dare try his luck with the Level 50 monsters.

Even with a Magic Shield, Jiang Chen couldn’t withstand a strike from a Level 50 monster.

Jiang Chen planned to advance as far as he could.

「...」

The countless students standing outside watched the towering Tower of Trial, keeping an eye on the tower’s activity.

"What incredible speed! Who is in trial area 084? I remember them reaching the 20th floor less than a minute ago, and they cleared it in that minute? How is that even possible?"

"Such terrifying speed, how did they do it? Don’t they need the state of Blessing?"

"It’s so fast, clearing Level 20 in a minute. Is this the power of an SS Class?"

"I wonder if it’s Li Yunxi or Shangguan Yunqiu."

"It shouldn’t be either of those teams, right?"

"How would you know?"

"When I came out, I looked into the teams. The speed of advancement in trial tower number 084 is terrifying; it seems like they’re advancing one level per minute."

"Why are you so sure it’s not them?"

"At that time, the highest floor reached was 18, and the lowest was 10; hence, it can’t be the Dragon Knight Team or the Angel Team. It must be another team."

If it’s not Li Yunxi, and not Shangguan Yunqiu, then who could it be?

Countless eyes focused on the Tower of Trial.

"Such amazing speed, they’ve entered the 22nd floor."

"So fast, I didn’t even realize and they’ve already entered the 22nd floor. This rate of advancement is terrifying."

"The first place has already surpassed the others by two floors."

"Who on earth could it be? So terrifying?"

"No idea, but surely it must be a hidden class, and an extremely terrifying one at that."

The students were all stunned.

They couldn’t believe it; the speed of this trial was simply unbeatable.

Soon, the Tower of Trial indicated movement again. The Dragon Knight Team and the Angel Team each entered the 21st floor, but at that moment, the Tower of Trial flashed with white light again, and Jiang Chen had already reached the 23rd floor.

"Is there a possibility that trial area 084 doesn’t actually have Demonic Beings, and it’s empty?"

"That’s not possible; this is a national trial. Who would dare to cheat?"

"Exactly, if discovered, that would lead to disqualification, so it’s absolutely impossible."

"But their horrific speed is too fast; it’s definitely not normal."

"We can’t rule out every possibility; after all, no one really knows the truth of the matter."

"Should we be concerned about this?"

"Of course we care. We work so hard, and if they resort to cheating to win first place, that’s a disgrace to the title of champion. Don’t forget there’s also the Silver-grade Suit at stake; it’s worth the risk for them."

Nangong Xue smiled, "If they really were cheating, why didn’t they wait a bit longer? Why be so ostentatious about it!"

The person who mentioned cheating instantly shut up. Right! If they were cheating, they certainly wouldn’t make it so obvious; why not wait a little longer?

「One hour later...」

Li Yunxi’s team appeared outside the Tower of Trial, covered in scars.

Damn it, is this as far as I can go? The 23rd floor... this is my limit. I wonder if Shangguan Yunqiu is out yet.

Li Yunxi hurriedly asked, "Does anyone know if Shangguan Yunqiu has come out yet?"

"Shangguan Yunqiu hasn’t come out yet," someone shouted.

Li Yunxi’s face fell. Not out yet? That means they’re still inside the Tower of Trial. Are they aiming for second place?

Li Yunxi stood to one side waiting for Shangguan Yunqiu, estimating that they would come out soon too; the 23rd-floor monsters were truly freakish, just like the Underworld Guards at the Underworld Altar.

A single Underworld Guard could be dealt with, but the real problem was ten Underworld Guards.

As soon as Li Yunxi entered, she was besieged by Demonic Beings, and her teammates also left one after another, leaving her no choice but to retreat.

Looking at the Tower of Trial, Li Yunxi was completely stunned.

The 27th floor? Could it be Shangguan Yunqiu? Impossible! Even as an Angel, she couldn’t possibly have fought her way to the 27th floor. The monsters there have around 30,000 HP. They’re even more terrifying than the Underworld King—and there would be ten of them! It absolutely couldn’t be them.

Just at that moment, a flash of white light...

Shangguan Yunqiu’s team also followed and came out.

"Shangguan Yunqiu, which floor did you reach?"

"The 24th floor."

"You weren’t on the 27th floor?"

"What 27th floor? We couldn’t hold out after reaching the 24th."

"Then who’s on the 27th floor?"

Shangguan Yunqiu looked up at the Tower of Trial and was also stunned.

Someone actually broke into the 27th floor? Who on earth is it? Could it be another Hidden Class chooser?

"Does anyone know which team is on the 27th floor?"

"I don’t know."

"Could it be from another province?"

"That’s impossible; other provinces have their own Towers of Trial and wouldn’t come here for the exam."

"Then who is it? Both the Dragon Knight Team and the Angel Team have come out; who’s still inside!"

"We’ll know when they come out."

Li Yunxi and Shangguan Yunqiu looked at the Tower of Trial, both puzzled. How is there still someone inside?

A flash of white light.

The 28th floor.

「...」

Tower of Trial, 28th floor.

The trio had just entered when they sensed ten Demonic Beings eying them.

This is bad, Jiang Chen thought. Just as I expected.

The alert range of the 28th-floor monsters was full-screen; their alert range covered everywhere they could see.

All Demonic Beings have alert ranges; the lower the level, the shorter the range. Lower-level Demonic Beings’ alert ranges are usually within ten meters; once you step within ten meters, you’ll be attacked.

Jiang Chen had anticipated this.

Jiang Chen said, "Teleport out immediately! Their alert range is huge—anywhere they can see is within it."

Jiang Chen focused, closely watching their movements.

Murong Xue and Wang Gang did not hesitate to teleport out, not daring to linger for a moment.

A flash of white light.

They appeared outside.

Wang Gang cursed furiously, "Damn this trial! The monsters on the 28th floor are too fierce. We had to leave as soon as we entered."

Wang Gang was about to vent more when he noticed countless eyes on him.

He grumbled, "What’s going on?"
