CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46, FAME THROUGH ONE BATTLE (PART 1)_1

Wang Gang said, "Boss, we should find a Priest to join the team and heal you."

Jiang Chen looked at his Blood Colored Shield.

[Blood Colored Shield: 30,000]

With this, who needs a shield?

"No need. You stay far back."

"This place is a bit better than the Trial Grounds; there’s only one monster."

"Not necessarily. This place is harder; all the entities inside are boss-level. This Wild White Pig has 30,000 HP, three times more than a level 20 monster. If every layer has a boss, then the HP also doubles."

After slaying the Wild White Pig, the passage opened. The two of them could enter the next layer.

Wang Gang looked at his card. "Boss, I’ve got a hundred more Score on my card."

"A hundred Score is just the beginning. Let’s continue to the next layer."

「Outside the Tower of Trial.」

Alice exclaimed as she watched Jiang Chen enter the next layer, "Your brother is really a Swordsman! He just entered, so how did he move on to the second layer already?"

"Yes, he’s a Swordsman—a talented one."

"I see, a talented Swordsman. No wonder he was able to enter Shenlong Academy. What’s his Talent?"

"Amplification."

"A Talent that amplifies Offensive Power? No wonder he’s so strong."

Hanna watched her brother until he entered the second layer, then turned to look at Jiang Chen’s progress, too surprised to speak. Has that Swordsman already reached the second layer? Could he be a Swordsman who has awakened his Talent?

"That Swordsman is very strong, entering the second layer even before the Angel did."

"Definitely not an ordinary Swordsman. He’s very likely a hidden class or a Swordsman who has awakened his Talent."

"So what if he’s awakened his Talent? Compared to more powerful classes, he still won’t fare well, especially since his room for improvement is very limited."

"Quite interesting. He must be the only Swordsman from Shenlong Academy, right?"

"Don’t forget, there was another Swordsman before, and that one was even stronger."

"Are you talking about Bai Yun?"

"He’s still a wanted man!"

「Second Layer.」

[Two-headed Demon (BOSS)]

[Level: 21]

[HP: 40,000/40,000]

[Physical Attack: 150-170]

[Magical Attack: 150-190]

[Physical Defense Power: 120-150]

[Magical defense power: 120-150]

A Two-headed Demon appeared in front of Jiang Chen. It was enveloped in black mist, had a pair of short wings, and stood three meters tall.

Wang Gang looked at the Two-headed Demon and exclaimed, "What kind of monster is this?!"

"Who cares what monster it is? Just deal with it," Jiang Chen replied.

Jiang Chen drew his sword and slashed. The strike didn’t kill the Two-headed Demon instantly, but its HP dropped to near empty. Jiang Chen struck again, killing the Two-headed Demon with his second blow.

[Blood Colored Shield: 70,000]

The Bloodthirsty Sword absorbed one hundred percent of the HP, converting it into a shield. It had a 24-hour cooldown, after which the Blood Colored Shield would disappear. The greatest advantage of the Bloodthirsty Sword was its ability to stack shields by adding up the HP of all slain monsters. Coupled with its hundredfold amplification, this was quite an overpowered ability.

「Outside the Tower of Trial.」

Hanna frowned deeply. He’s gone in again! How can he be so fast? He doesn’t even have a Priest, only a Knight. How is he managing to kill monsters so quickly? With such terrifying speed, how could he possibly be a Swordsman?

In contrast, her own brother was still on the second layer.

Alice laughed. "Your brother is truly surprising! He reached the third layer so quickly, taking just one minute. That speed is insane!"

Jiang Qiu nodded, equally shocked. She hadn’t expected her brother to be so formidable, clearing the third layer in just one minute.

Alice continued, "I wonder if he can clear the tenth layer. The tenth layer features a level 30 boss. Only one person has ever reached that Realm."

"Bai Yun?"

"Yes. Like your brother, he is also a Swordsman. I wonder if your brother can reach the same heights as Bai Yun."

Jiang Qiu pondered. Could he really clear the tenth layer?

「Third Layer.」

Jiang Chen killed the boss in two strikes.

「Fourth Layer.」

Jiang Chen killed the boss in four strikes.

「Fifth Layer.」

Jiang Chen killed the boss in six strikes.

「Outside the Tower of Trial.」

Many new students had arrived and were watching the fifth layer.

"I wonder what powerful class cleared the fifth layer."

"I heard it’s a Swordsman wielding a Thin Sword."

"A Swordsman? Isn’t that a D-grade Class? How could he possibly clear the fifth layer? That’s a level 26 boss! What level is he?"

"This Tower of Trial is insane! The bosses start at level 20. Once there’s a level difference of five or more, it’s very difficult to break through a monster’s defensive power."

"Reaching the fifth layer grants 1,500 Score. Is this person really a Swordsman?"

"It seems he didn’t bring a Priest, only a Knight."

It wasn’t just new students; many upperclassmen had also come to watch the Tower of Trial. They all knew a Swordsman was challenging the tower and had reached the fifth layer—and he was a Swordsman who had awakened his Talent.

Alice smiled. "Your brother is definitely going to be a shining star. Even many upperclassmen have come to watch. It looks like they’re all quite interested."

Jiang Qiu thought, Being the center of attention isn’t necessarily a good thing, especially since Jiang Chen is still a newbie.

A flash of white light.

Hanna’s brother, William, emerged from the Tower of Trial covered in wounds. "Sis, I hope I didn’t disgrace you! I made it through the fourth layer."

Hanna nodded; clearing the fourth layer was already quite good. After all, her brother was only level 18. The monster on the fourth layer was a level 25 boss—a seven-level difference. With such a large level gap, it was nearly impossible to break its defense.

William asked, "What about that Swordsman? How many layers did he clear?"

"He’s still inside."

"He didn’t get scared, did he?!"

Hanna was exasperated. "He’s on the sixth layer."

William’s eyes widened; he couldn’t believe what Hanna had said. He turned to look at the Tower of Trial, at the white light indicating the sixth layer. It was clearly inscribed there:

Sixth Layer: Jiang Chen, Wang Gang.

[Two-headed Demonic King Kong (BOSS)]

[Level: 27]

[HP: 130,000/130,000]

[Physical Attack: 340-430]

[Magical Attack: 340-420]

[Physical Defense Power: 340-370]

[Magical defense power: 340-360]

The level 27 boss already had 130,000 HP. Wang Gang was utterly astonished when he saw the HP. "Boss, it has 130,000 HP and can use Magic Attacks too!"

Jiang Chen said, "You stay far back. This boss probably won’t be easy to kill."

"Understood." Wang Gang quickly moved to hide. Against this monster, he didn’t dare make a move; a single hit could take his life.

Jiang Chen charged forward and casually unleashed a sword strike.

-1,000

-1,000

-1,000

Jiang Chen frowned. Only 3,000 damage? Even with a triple strike, that’s my strongest attack.
