Chapter 81: Bells Ring, Another New Record Set
Early the next morning, Lin Moyu’s spirit power had fully recovered.
He casually summoned 4 skeleton warriors, bringing the total to 120.
After a quick wash, he used a teleportation stone to go directly from his dorm to the Dungeon Hall.
Outside the Dungeon Hall was as lively as ever.
Many career professionals were setting up stalls like a marketplace, looking for teams.
There were ordinary university students as well as students from various academies.
Though both belonged to Summer Capital University, there was a clear divide between them.
The ordinary university students had mostly entered through the big exam.
The academy students’ backgrounds were more complex, with some cultivated internally by the academies.
They had good family backgrounds and excellent bloodlines, receiving many resources from a young age.
At the same age, their levels far exceeded ordinary students.
When others were taking the big exam, they had already surpassed level 20 or even higher.
So they were more arrogant, with some looking down on ordinary students.
Like Ling Zhen, who even looked down on the national top scholar Lin Moyu.
In Summer Capital University’s history, those national and provincial top scholars were indeed inferior to them when first entering.
Starting too late, their levels, knowledge, equipment and skills were all lacking. The only thing comparable was their careers.
This situation would usually improve after 2-3 years, when their levels and knowledge caught up.
Some excellent ones would join the academies, becoming members.
Those not excellent enough would remain ordinary students.
The existence of academies separated the geniuses from ordinary students.
Lin Moyu quickly understood this, but didn’t care at all.
It didn’t affect his leveling anyway.
Moreover, he had no intention of teaming up with others.
He preferred soloing.
Entering the Dungeon Hall, Lin Moyu went straight to the Spider’s Nest dungeon entrance.
The cooldown had just ended, saving him 40 points.
He chose Nightmare difficulty and entered.
Skeleton warriors appeared at his command.
Familiar routes, familiar caves.
"The map hasn’t changed, it’s the same as last time, a fixed map."
"If so, I can speed run it. Should take about 20 minutes."
Lin Moyu silently estimated, getting a rough idea.
But this time he didn’t choose to speed run, instead optimizing his route.
He skipped some faraway places, deliberately choosing closer caves and having skeleton warriors pull all the spiders over.
This way, he could get most of the experience while saving a lot of time.
Maximizing efficiency.
According to his calculations, his dungeon clearing speed could increase by about 100%.
It would take at most 50 minutes to clear the dungeon.
And he could gain about 70% of the experience.
This greatly improved efficiency.
This was the method he thought of last night, which should work fine.
Lin Moyu followed the skeleton army, with skeletons occasionally bringing large numbers of spiders.
Explosions rang out from time to time, echoing throughout Spider’s Nest.
His experience steadily increased.
Halfway through, Lin Moyu began glowing with the light of leveling up.
This was within his calculations, so when meditation ended, he had consumed 80% of his spirit power to summon 4 skeleton warriors.
He knew he would level up halfway through.
After leveling up this time, his spirit power fully recovered again.
Lin Moyu didn’t summon more skeleton warriors, saving spirit power for the final boss.
Yesterday the Spider King’s skills had damaged the skeleton warriors somewhat.
He couldn’t let that happen again today.
The leveled up skeleton warriors were even stronger, with all four attributes reaching 6200.
Their attack power was even greater.
Combined with Lin Moyu’s Corpse Explosion, they steamrolled through.
Just 40 minutes later, the team reached the end of the dungeon.
The skeleton warriors quickly cut through the blocking spider webs, revealing the passage inside.
Just through that passage was where the Spider King resided.
Lin Moyu didn’t rush in, instead standing in a nearby cave.
Crackle crackle.
The sounds grew denser, including both skeleton warriors and many insects crawling.
Several skeleton warriors ran over, followed by over a thousand small spiders.
They charged into the passage, running towards where the Spider King was.
"If only these small spiders could be pulled near the Spider King..."
If that happened, Lin Moyu could use Corpse Explosion to basically instantly kill the Spider King.
The plan was good, but the result wasn’t ideal.
The small spiders seemed to fear the Spider King’s aura.
They all stopped at the passage entrance, refusing to enter.
Seeing this, Lin Moyu knew his plan had failed.
At least it wouldn’t work in the Spider’s Nest dungeon.
Soul Fire flashed past, followed by several violent explosions.
The small spiders at the entrance were cleared out.
Lin Moyu passed through and summoned all his skeleton warriors.
120 skeleton warriors with 6200 in all attributes charged at the Spider King with their blades.
That momentum would definitely scare the Spider King to death if it had any intelligence.
The Spider King opened its mouth to spit webs.
Skill: Soul Fire!
Skill: Slow Curse!
Two skills released one after another, making the Spider King let out an earth-shaking scream.
This time, Lin Moyu didn’t even give the Spider King a chance to spit webs.
The skeleton warriors didn’t jump on its body either, instead all concentrating on its legs.
Each spider leg was evenly assigned fifteen skeletons.
Not one more or less, distributed very evenly.
Red light flashed on their blades.
Skill: Berserk Strike.
The Spider King screamed miserably as the armor on its legs was completely shattered, exposing the flesh inside.
Lin Moyu’s Soul Fire hadn’t stopped since the beginning.
Attacking the Spider King’s spirit world again and again, giving it no chance to use skills.
The Spider King’s spirit attribute wasn’t strong, so Soul Fire was very effective.
So far, Lin Moyu hadn’t encountered any monster that could resist Soul Fire.
This spiritual attack ignored defense and was hard to resist.
The skeleton warriors surrounded the spider legs, attacking like hammering iron.
And they were all attacking almost the same point.
Finally, with a huge boom, the Spider King’s leg was cut off. Its massive body immediately fell to the ground.
Completely unable to resist, even more miserable than last time.
It screamed constantly, shaking the cave. Countless small spiders crawled out from all around.
"Die even faster."
After the small spiders gathered, a series of explosions followed.
Corpse Explosion was truly a godly skill. The Spider King died miserably to Corpse Explosion in less than two minutes.
Its whole body had no intact flesh left. Though the small spiders’ vitality was low, there were just too many of them.
Lin Moyu consumed nearly half his spirit power, killing the Spider King in less than two minutes.
"A bit wasteful."
Afterwards, Lin Moyu felt his method was a bit wasteful.
All that spirit power only saved about 1 minute.
Otherwise he could have summoned two more skeleton warriors.
After all, he only had 120 skeleton warriors now, while his summoning space had 190 slots. There were still 70 slots waiting to be filled.
Bells rang out in the Dungeon Hall.
People outside rushed in.
Setting records always aroused others’ curiosity and surprise.
"Someone set a new record again."
"Which expert is it this time?"
"Wonder which dungeon it is."
Over a hundred people rushed into the Dungeon Hall, then found the glowing light screen.
"It’s Spider’s Nest."
"Oh, just a level 20 dungeon."
"Could it be that student from yesterday?"
"You know, it’s quite possible. I saw him go in early this morning."
A new record appeared on the light screen.
The original first place moved down one spot, with the new record at the top.
[Lin Moyu, Level 19, Necromancer, 47 minutes 22 seconds]
"Wow! It really is him."
"He just set a new record for Mutant Forest yesterday, and today he set another for Spider’s Nest."
"The key is he soloed it. This is too terrifying."
"How did he do it? Is the Necromancer career that powerful?"
"No, I think besides his powerful career, he might have a talent."
Hiss!
Everyone drew in a sharp breath.
Talent career holders were extraordinary existences, at least in their eyes.
There were only a handful of talent career holders appearing nationwide each year.
"Bullshit talent career holder, he just got lucky."
A voice full of jealousy rang out.
Everyone turned to look.
Over a hundred pairs of eyes fell on Ling Zhen.
