Chapter 276 Unstoppable Momentum
If the previous team-based challenges of the "Jiangcheng Squad" were a wonderful showcase of teamwork, then...
So now.
Chen Yifan's solo challenge was a complete and utterly unreasonable display of individual strength that crushed everyone!
The second layer is the desert.
Faced with the siege of more than fifty highly venomous sand scorpions, Chen Yifan didn't even bother to stealthily move.
His figure left afterimages on the sand, and the dagger in his hand reflected a chilling light in the sunlight.
The venomous stingers that those sand scorpions were so proud of couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes in the face of his ghostly movements.
Each strike precisely pierced the gaps in the sand scorpion's carapace.
One cut, one kill.
Clean and neat.
1 minute and 12 seconds, the area was cleared.
The third layer is a swamp.
Faced with the thick-skinned mud crocodile, Chen Yifan immediately activated [Touch of Ten Thousand Shadows].
Countless ghostly hands emerged from the monster's shadow.
With a shadow damage effect that deals 1000% damage to enemies, it smashed the tough skin of those crocodiles like tofu.
1 minute and 35 seconds, level cleared.
The fourth level is the forest.
Faced with the incredibly fast masked apes, Chen Yifan was even faster than them!
He was like a ghost leaping through the forest, taking a life with each appearance.
1 minute and 58 seconds, level cleared.
……
Outside, at the Sky Tower Plaza.
Everyone has become numb.
They just stared blankly at the light screen, at that name.
[Chen Yifan, current floor: 3, completion time: 1 minutes 35 seconds.]
[Chen Yifan, current floor: 4, completion time: 1 minutes 58 seconds.]
[Chen Yifan, current floor: 5, completion time: 2 minutes 17 seconds.]
……
"Is this... is this data manipulation?"
A student muttered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief.
"This is too fake, it's definitely fake! Even upperclassmen couldn't be this fast, right?"
"I suspect he's found some kind of bug! Yes! It must be a bug!"
Keep in mind, this isn't a team mode.
No one wanted to believe that this was an achievement a freshman could make.
This achievement was completely beyond their comprehension.
Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu also stood in the crowd, their mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.
"Xiao...Xiaoyu, am I dreaming?"
Wang Fugui pinched his thigh hard, making him wince in pain.
"Fanzi... what kind of monster is he?"
He always thought that although the gap between himself and Chen Yifan was large, it was at least within an understandable range.
But only today did he realize that he was wrong.
Big mistake!
Chen Yifan's strength was far beyond what he could have imagined.
Between them lies an insurmountable chasm!
"He...he seems to have been accommodating our pace the whole time."
Lin Xiaoyu said softly, her voice carrying a complex emotion.
There was shock, admiration, and a touch of... loss.
It turns out that what I thought was fighting side by side was, in the other party's eyes, perhaps just a warm-up exercise with two burdens.
On the other side, Zhao Tianyu and his "Divine Punishment" gang members looked extremely grim.
"Vice...Vice President, this kid...he..." A team member stammered, unsure of what to say.
Zhao Tianyu didn't speak; he just stared intently at the light screen, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
BUG?
No.
He knew better than anyone that the Tower of Ascension, as the foundation of the school, could not possibly have such an obvious bug.
The only explanation is...
This freshman named Chen Yifan, his strength is really that terrifying!
The thought that he had just tried to use the power of the gang to threaten him made Zhao Tianyu feel a burning pain in his face.
This isn't a threat, this is clearly sending someone to their death!
He is now only grateful that he didn't actually make a move.
Otherwise, my fate will probably be terrible.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the square...
Sun Hao, who had just emerged from the portal, was preparing to bask in the envious glances of those around him.
His "Fire Team" finally made it through the sixth level after paying a heavy price.
He felt that his grades were among the best of the freshmen.
However, he soon discovered that nobody was paying attention to him.
All eyes were focused on the screen displaying the progress of the challenge.
"What are you looking at? What's so interesting?"
Sun Hao muttered something unpleasantly, then looked up at the light screen.
The next second, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
On the screen, the name "Chen Yifan" appeared again.
Current floor number: 8!
How is that possible!
Sun Hao rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he was seeing things.
The eighth floor?
Solo?
He and his four well-equipped teammates almost got wiped out on the sixth floor.
This Chen Yifan, all by himself, managed to reach the eighth floor?
Moreover, judging from his posture, he's still charging upwards!
A tremendous, indescribable sense of humiliation welled up in Sun Hao's heart.
He felt like a clown jumping around.
Just now, I was feeling smug about passing the sixth level.
As it turns out, he almost cleared the first ten floors all by himself.
"puff!"
Sun Hao felt a sweet taste in his throat and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He couldn't stay any longer. Clutching his chest, he led his equally distraught teammates and fled the square in a sorry state.
Inside the tower.
Chen Yifan's journey continues.
The ninth level, Thunder Canyon.
Facing those lightning elemental spirits that are immune to lightning attacks.
Chen Yifan's figure moved calmly through countless violent chains of lightning.
His mental energy was highly concentrated.
The trajectory of every lightning bolt and the location of every elf were clearly presented in his mind.
He was like a top-notch dancer, performing the most magnificent dance on the edge of death.
With each swing of the dagger in his hand, a burst of elemental light shattered.
4 minutes 11 seconds.
Cleared!
[Congratulations on clearing the ninth floor of the Tower of Ascension! Time: 4 minutes and 11 seconds!]
When this achievement was displayed on the screen for the outside world.
No one in the entire square gasped in surprise anymore.
Everyone just stared blankly upwards.
They no longer knew what language to use to describe their feelings at that moment.
Shocking?
Horrified?
Or...fear?
On the third day of school, a freshman single-handedly conquered the challenge and made it directly to the tenth floor.
This has never happened before in the history of Kyoto University of martial arts!
He created a myth that is unprecedented and may never be repeated!
"He's reached the tenth floor... He's reached the tenth floor..."
Someone murmured something, though no one knew who it was.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
The boss guarding the tenth floor is the Ancient Rock Guardian.
That's a powerful entity that requires a standard five-person team with precise coordination to defeat.
This is why they were so surprised that Chen Yifan and his two companions were able to clear the level in team mode.
but……
There are no more than three people now.
How can he fight alone?
Physical immunity, high resistance to magic.
Special defense breaching mechanism.
This is a perfect counter to an assassin-type professional!
Everyone thought that Chen Yifan's legend should end here.
He can't create a miracle.
However, they were all unaware of this.
Chen Yifan is a man born to create miracles.
