CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56, KING’S CROWN COPY, NEW CONFLICT_1

Black Phoenix furrowed her brows, puzzled. "Is this guy really from Shenlong Academy? If he’s fresh out of school, why come to Eilrus for training? This place is full of Level 30 to 40 monsters."

"Who knows? Maybe he has a hidden class or something."

Jiang Chen was indeed curious. In the Tower of Trial, he had slain the Demonic Tree Monster from over thirty meters away by exploiting a bug with his Sword Qi.

But how could this Heavy Armored Warrior ignore the Demonic Tree Monster’s attacks? What the hell kind of warrior was this, so damn awesome?

Black Phoenix turned to chop down monsters, wildly hacking away. Soon, the Level 30 BOSS fell beneath her blade, and she sheathed her great sword on her back.

Black Phoenix sighed with regret, "Such a pity, no heart again."

Ruo Li said with a smile, "It’s no secret, so there’s no harm in telling you. Black Phoenix has awakened her Talent. Unless she’s killed instantly, she can continuously regenerate. Even if she’s grievously wounded, she can recover in an instant."

A warrior with ongoing regeneration? Dammit, that’s really strong! With that, this woman is unbeatable among her peers. No one can kill this Heavy Armored woman. This was the first time Jiang Chen had met someone with an awakened Talent, and this Talent was a perfect match for a warrior.

Ruo Li smiled, "Junior, you’re curious about us, but as your senior, I’m even more curious about you. How did a new student like you end up at the Eilrus Rift?"

"I’m preparing for the Level 30 Diamond suit."

Both Ruo Li and Black Phoenix exclaimed in unison, "The King’s Crown Suit!"

Black Wind asked, "What Level are you?"

"Level 21."

"What? You’re only Level 21 and you dare to enter the Eilrus Rift? What’s your class?"

"Swordsman."

The two were completely dumbfounded.

What the hell? Isn’t Swordsman a D-grade Class? How could he get into Shenlong Academy? And his equipment doesn’t look simple; it must have Set Attributes. But so what if you have Set Attributes? You’re only Level 20 and you dare to come here for training?

Although Black Phoenix could continuously regenerate, she would still need to avoid confronting powerful monsters head-on, as a BOSS more than 10 Levels above her could kill her instantly.

Ruo Li smiled, "Junior, how about we form a team?"

"Forget it. You guys are too high-level, so I won’t get any experience. Besides, I prefer to go solo. I don’t like teaming up with others, especially beautiful women."

"Why?"

Jiang Chen grinned, "Teaming up with beauties distracts me. My heart wouldn’t be in monster-slaying."

After saying that, Jiang Chen turned and left...

Ruo Li giggled, "This junior is quite interesting."

Black Phoenix gave a sidelong glance, "It’s not like you’ve never seen men before."

"Of course, I’ve seen men, but I’ve never seen one as handsome and humorous as him. Being good-looking really is a crime. If it were, I’d be sentenced to die ninety-nine times."

"He wasn’t talking about you."

"I know you’ve always been jealous that I’m prettier than you. After all, girls naturally like to wear pretty clothes."

"Not my cup of tea."

"I knew it, you like women! You’re not going to get rough with me, are you?!"

Jiang Chen heard their conversation and chuckled. This Ruo Li is quite amusing.

Black Phoenix spoke seriously, "This guy must have awakened a Talent to be training alone here. He’s definitely strong. I wonder what Talent he’s awakened."

Ruo Li suddenly felt a pang of regret. "Shoot!"

"What?"

"I forgot to ask his name! If I want to invite him for a drink later, I won’t have the chance. Damn it, a handsome man like him will definitely be hot property at the academy."

Black Phoenix was speechless.

"All you talk about is men. Would you die if you didn’t mention men for one day?"

"I would die from holding it in."

"I wish you would. Then I could go training alone."

"But we can still find him."

"How?"

"The King’s Crown Copy. Don’t forget, that’s our goal too. I remember the refresh time is almost here."

"Let’s go."

"Where to?"

"To find a man."

"You’ve finally come to your senses."

「...」

Jiang Chen entered the tomb.

He looked at the towering altar.

King’s Crown Tomb (Copy): Level Requirement: 20-40.

Party: 1-20 people.

Dungeon Time: 2 days.

Refresh Time: 24 hours.

Dungeon Difficulty: Easy, Dangerous, Difficult, Nightmare, Hell.

The King’s Crown Tomb had already been cleared. It has five difficulty levels. The higher the difficulty, the better the chance of equipment drops, with even a possibility of complete items dropping directly.

Of course, there’s a chance in the easy difficulty too, but it’s very small.

Many Heroes farm in this dungeon, grinding the easy levels, all for a chance at equipment drops, relying purely on luck.

Jiang Chen entered and saw many people waiting for the refresh.

A gold-haired youth in armor, holding a giant sword, approached Jiang Chen and looked him up and down. "New here?"

New here?

"This King’s Crown Tomb is not bad. If a piece of Diamond equipment drops, that would be a fortune! You’d never have to worry about food and clothes for a lifetime."

Jiang Chen looked at the gold-haired youth with confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"Pay a dungeon fee of five thousand, and you can go in and farm."

Jiang Chen chuckled coldly to himself.

This dungeon is public; it doesn’t require payment. Some dungeons do require a fee to enter, but the King’s Crown Tomb is free. Anyone can farm there. Besides, others just entered without paying. Why should I?

"This is a free dungeon. Besides, others entered without paying, and they got in just fine."

The gold-haired youth spoke impatiently, "Just because you say it’s free, it’s free? These are our rules here. I decide who pays, and they pay. Don’t you understand the rules?"

Jiang Chen snorted coldly, "Get lost."

"Oh, quite arrogant! Someone dares not to pay? Brothers, do you agree?"

"We don’t agree!"

A dozen men, brandishing great swords, surrounded him.

"Kid, do you know where you are? Daring to make trouble here? You’ll pay whether you like it or not!"

"He’s clearly not from our battle zone. Cough it up, and we’ll let you go. Otherwise, you’re not leaving today!"

"The price has gone up. Don’t even think about getting in without ten thousand!"

Jiang Chen looked at the men surrounding him. They’re obviously local thugs who specialize in bullying newcomers.

Some bystanders watched as Jiang Chen was surrounded.

A kind-hearted person warned, "Young man, I think you’d better pay up. They’re from the Black Tiger Guild."

"Yeah, if you don’t pay, you might lose your life."

"You must be from the Dragon Battle Zone. You’d better listen to them."

Jiang Chen just smiled. Paying is out of the question.

Jiang Chen looked at the arrogant gold-haired youth, then slashed out with his sword.

SLASH!

The gold-haired youth was instantly killed, his body split in two.

The other dozen men immediately drew their swords and charged at Jiang Chen.

"Damn it! Daring to attack here? Kill him!"

"Kid, you dare kill a member of our Black Tiger Guild? You’re asking for death!"

"Don’t let this brat leave here alive!"

Jiang Chen looked at them and released his Jianqi Zongheng. One hundred Sword Auras materialized, revolving around him. Anyone who came within two meters was cut down.

ARGH!

Screams echoed as the dozen men were pierced by the Sword Auras, sending flesh flying and blood splattering. The bystanders were utterly dumbfounded.

Is this guy even human?

Too brutal! Not a single intact body remained on the ground. The mixture of blood and mutilated corpses covering the floor was enough to make anyone nauseous.

The people around looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
