Chapter 404: Chapter 225: Godlike Speed! _1
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You are under the influence of an interference tool used by Yongming Star System’s Professionals, which has extended your skill cooldown time by 100%.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You are under the influence of an interference tool used by Yongming Star System’s Professionals, reducing your recovery effect by 100%.]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You are under the influence of an interference tool used by Sanyang Star System Professionals; time in this world has been stopped for 10 seconds.]
Notifications for nearly ten interference tools popped up in succession.
Chen Mo was immediately hit with a slew of restrictions.
Feeling the Rule Power enveloping him, Chen Mo couldn’t help but chuckle. These guys are really working together, huh?
However, through these entwined Rule Powers, Chen Mo also came to understand a few things. I clearly possess immunity to abnormal statuses, yet it seems completely ineffective against these rule-level ones. Even with the Space-Time Pearl, I was still caught in a time stop for 10 seconds when faced with rule-level power. Evidently, the power of rules is on a much higher tier than so-called divine artifacts. It would be truly amazing if I could one day wield power at that level.
But even with various restrictions, even being caught in a time stop twice for a total of 20 seconds, Chen Mo still held a commanding lead.
Seeing that their interference tools were exhausted and their progress hadn’t budged an inch, Chen Mo ordered his Skeleton Monsters to commence a massacre in Black Wind Village!
The Bandits in Black Wind Village numbered only in the tens of thousands. For Chen Mo to attack them with a hundred times their number in monsters was truly using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. This was especially true since Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters possessed attack power comparable to fourth-transition professionals, while these Bandit minions were merely at the first-transition level. A few tens of thousands of them were no match at all; within seconds, the entire Black Wind Village was wiped clean by the Skeleton Monsters’ indiscriminate volleys.
Meanwhile, the other two teams were still rushing towards Black Wind Village.
When The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded again, the members of these two teams were utterly flabbergasted. They had participated in Stars Speed Competition Dungeons before. While performances always varied in speed, this was the first time they had witnessed someone clearing it at such an outrageous pace. While other teams were still at 10% progress, one team had already cleared the entire dungeon.
And this ’team’ couldn’t even really be called a team. It was, in fact, just a single professional. Their opponent’s ’team’ consisted of only one person, who was merely level 30. Under such conditions, he had cleared the speed competition dungeon at a ridiculously, almost unbelievably, fast pace. This left them completely dumbfounded.
They immediately quickened their pace, eager to see if this Stars Speed Competition Dungeon was truly as ridiculously easy as it now seemed.
Stars Speed Competition Dungeons are similar to normal dungeons in one respect: just because someone else finishes first doesn’t mean you can’t continue playing. Even if another team beats you to the finish line, you still have the opportunity to complete the dungeon yourself, until you clear it. If you manage to complete the speed objectives, you will receive enhanced dungeon rewards. The more objectives you complete, the better the rewards. Of course, the ultimate reward is reserved for the team that is the very first to clear the dungeon. By doing so, not only do you win superior dungeon rewards, but you also claim all the bets placed by other teams. It’s a chance to rake in massive profits. However, if you don’t win the speed run, even if you continue and complete the dungeon, it’s mostly just to mitigate some of your losses. The most crucial rewards in a Stars Speed Competition Dungeon are tied to the speed objectives. If you fail to complete any speed objectives, even if you clear the dungeon, your earnings will be far less than what you lost on your bet.
Outside the dungeon, the few individuals who had been closely monitoring Chen Mo were stunned as they watched his progress bar jump forward in large chunks.
“What’s going on? His progress jumped from 20% to 50% all of a sudden?”
“That’s way too fast! He only hit 20% a few seconds ago, and now he’s at 50%?”
“This is insane! We guessed he’d be in the lead, but we never imagined this kind of speed!”
Just as they were marveling at Chen Mo’s progress leaping from 20% to 50%, something even more astonishing occurred. Not long after Chen Mo’s progress hit 50%—barely enough time for them to exchange a few words—it began to skyrocket again. It felt like only about ten seconds passed before his dungeon progress jumped straight to 100%.
This time, they were utterly astounded, their faces etched with shock.
“What just happened? How is his progress increasing so rapidly?”
“This is just unbelievable!”
“From 20% to 50%, and then boom—straight to 100%! What kind of dungeon clearing speed is that?”
“Look, the other two teams are still stuck at 10% progress! I bet they’re completely stunned by now.”
“He’s way too dominant—ten times their speed! And he’s doing it solo against their five-person teams!”
“Is he really only a first-transition professional?!”
“Think back to that survival event! A zeroth-transition player was able to dominate second-transition ones. If Student Chen Mo was that zeroth-transition player, then it stands to reason he’d have this kind of power as a first-transition.”
“I really want to know what kind of miracle drug he’s on to get this strong! It’s just monstrous!”
Inside the dungeon, Chen Mo had entered observer mode. I actually didn’t know that after securing first place in a Stars Speed Competition Dungeon, you could directly observe the actions of other teams. Not only that, but I can even investigate their attributes.
