Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: High-Intensity Dungeon Grinding!

Chu Xiu’s words made Zhang Qingshan lower his head in shame, but when he raised it again, his eyes had become resolute.

”Ah Chu, thank you.”

”Your words woke me up, I was too complacent, what right do I have to slack off?”

”You have always been more mature than me since we were young. You’ve helped me in so many ways. Really, it’s all thanks to you...”

Zhang Qingshan’s voice was not calm. Chu Xiu smiled and waved his hand, ”Oh, we’re buddies. No need for words like that.”

He also hoped that Zhang Qingshan could grow better.

A true friend is a priceless treasure.

At this point, however, Zhang Qingshan continued, ”Ah Chu, it’s fine if you don’t join me in the dungeon, but there is one thing you must agree to.”

Chu Xiu was stunned, ”What is it?”

Zhang Qingshan opened his phone and clicked on a page, ”The initial version of the strategy map is ready. Although there’s still a lot of content to organize, at least the positions of the Awakened are marked.”

”I’m far from you. I would need to cross half the city to meet you, but Xiaoqin is just five kilometers away from you, and there’s a government-set gathering point nearby. I hope you can meet there and look after each other.”

”You can’t refuse this.”

Chu Xiu knew Zhang Qingshan was concerned about his safety, so he didn’t say more and nodded gently.

After saying this, Zhang Qingshan didn’t stay long. After giving Chu Xiu a heavy punch, he pushed the door and left.

Seeing his stance, it was clear that he was motivated by Chu Xiu and was going to focus on leveling up.

”I can’t fall behind either.”

Chu Xiu sighed. Although he disagreed with Zhang Qingshan’s approach, he had the same idea in mind.

He wanted to reach Warrior Tier before entering the Abyss again. The opportunities in the Corpse Demon World were something he must obtain!

”However, relying solely on myself without any extra help, I am indeed far behind in resources.”

The major forces, to compete for the Corpse Demon World, are placing hefty bets, with stakes reaching tens of millions. Not to mention super-rich second generations like Ye Junlin, whose family resources are incredibly terrifying.

After all, a basic Positioning Anchor Point is worth millions, and if some high-value resources can be surveyed in the Corpse Demon World later, even billions are possible!

Chu Xiu rubbed his chin, taking advantage of the time to restore physical strength, he logged into the site specifically created for strategizing the Corpse Demon World.

After browsing for a while, he quickly found the information he wanted.

[Skill Assessment]

The reason Chu Xiu added a lot of points to the Qi Concealing Technique before was because the world seems orderly on the surface, but in fact, has many gray areas.

In this situation, many offspring from prominent families are unwilling to reveal their children’s talents and professions.

Thus, [Skill Assessment] came into being.

In [Skill Assessment], no one will check your profession and talent. You just need to show enough strength to get investment!

You don’t even have to reveal your identity; you can go wearing a mask.

Of course, there will be corresponding restrictions when officially signing the contract to prevent you from taking off the mask and then repudiating.

For Chu Xiu, [Skill Assessment] is the best way to secure investment.

”Once I reach Level 9, I’ll secure a big sponsorship and then fully prepare for the Tier Trial!”

With his thoughts set, he didn’t hesitate any longer. After recovering some physical strength, he re-entered the Abyss.

He then immersed himself in frantically leveling up.

[Task Complete]

[Task Complete]

[Task Complete...]

He was like a relentless monster-farming machine, madly clearing the [Difficult] dungeons that even full four-member teams of ordinary Awakened had to approach cautiously!

Moreover, with each fast clear, Chu Xiu’s efficiency was getting higher!

He didn’t see it as a tiresome repetitive task but as a tool to hone himself.

Even when facing the weakest Corpse Demons, he never let down his guard but required himself to complete the kill in the most perfect way each time.

Meanwhile, he continuously set himself higher difficulty challenges.

For instance, even if encountered by a large group of Corpse Demons, he still tried to come out unscathed, or every battle required precise control of every ounce of power to kill the enemy without wasting any physical strength.

In this situation, both the skill level of Chu Xiu’s various skills and his own combat experience were growing at an astonishing rate!

Realistically, using Cause and Effect Points to add points directly is a very luxurious thing. For most ordinary professionals, they improve their skill level through repeated battles!

Thus, Chu Xiu’s efficiency kept getting higher, and the time to clear a [Difficult] dungeon went from the initial twenty minutes to seventeen, then fifteen, and finally compressed to the fastest thirteen minutes!

In just one day, Chu Xiu cleared the dungeon seventeen times!

”Ah!” Chu Xiu lay on the bed utterly exhausted, feeling a bit numb.

Each dungeon required killing over a hundred Corpse Demons along with various elite bosses.

Seventeen times means nearly two thousand! Never mind killing so many Corpse Demons, even just throwing two thousand punches, no—just two hundred punches would exhaust an ordinary person!

”It’s like those fitness pros doing push-ups; the first one feels effortless, even making you feel like you could launch yourself into the air. It seems like no amount would be stressful, but as the count increases, fatigue quickly accumulates.”

”Continuous high-intensity combat, even my Constitution of twenty can’t keep up!”

”I’m still not strong enough!”

Rubbing his sore shoulders, Chu Xiu lamented.

If other Awakened heard his thoughts, they’d probably cough up old blood.

Brother! This is a difficult-level dungeon!

Even professional teams settled at Mortal Tier Level 9 for years, leading others through dungeons, wouldn’t dare to be so reckless!

Running them four or five times a day is already the limit. Beyond that, physical strength, energy, and attention all drastically decline. If you randomly encounter a significantly harder boss, it could all go south!

Nobody jokes with their life or challenges the Abyss when not in their best condition!

Let alone the fact that Chu Xiu is soloing!

Yet, he’s still unsatisfied!

”Thirteen-minute clear of difficult?”

”Too slow!”

”I want to clear Nightmare in thirteen minutes!”
