ACSP: Chapter 12: consecutive dungeon conquering!
Everyone who knew her would place her father's halo on her head.
Yet, she herself was extremely repulsed by the title "City Lord's Daughter."
She hoped that one day, when others saw her, they would no longer address her as the "City Lord's Daughter."
Because that would make her seem useless.
It felt as though everything she accomplished was due to her father's halo, not something she had earned herself.
Thinking of this, Li Yanran immediately gritted her teeth, turned to Jiang Chen, and said, "Jiang Chen, why don't we run the Secret Realm again? I want to get stronger as soon as possible."
Jiang Chen happened to have the same intention at that moment. "Sure, but let's change the difficulty of the Secret Realm. We'll run the Hard difficulty this time."
"What? The Hard one?"
Li Yanran was stunned for a moment.
She had originally intended to run the Normal Secret Realm again.
She hadn't expected Jiang Chen to make such a request.
However, thinking of Jiang Chen's performance in the Secret Realm earlier, she eventually agreed: "Fine, fortune favors the bold. We'll run the Hard difficulty Secret Realm this time."
The others had no objections either.
Jiang Chen's strength was so formidable; while others needed over an hour to clear a Secret Realm, he could clear it alone in just over ten minutes.
Opportunities to be carried like this didn't come every day.
Subsequently, Li Yanran selected the Secret Realm and entered with the team.
The Hard difficulty [Blood Mist] actually just meant the number of Kirigakure ninjas was doubled, totaling 100.
Jiang Chen and his team just needed to kill all 100 of these Kirigakure ninjas to complete the mission.
"Let's move."
Because they had the experience from the first time, Li Yanran and the others didn't show any fear this time.
As soon as the battle started, Li Yanran immediately performed hand seals and cast a Genjutsu called "Temple of Nirvana Technique."
This Genjutsu could create a hypnotic illusion within a certain range.
Anyone who was caught in it would instantly fall into a deep sleep.
In the original work, this was the Genjutsu that Yakushi Kabuto used during the Chunin Exams.
However, Li Yanran's current strength was not enough.
When she cast this technique, it could only affect enemies within about 5 meters of herself.
But there were still a few unlucky ones who fell for her Genjutsu and collapsed to the ground.
Afterward, Wang Shanshan used hidden weapons to finish them off, easily taking care of those Kirigakure ninjas.
On the other side.
Lin Ye and Yuan Danqing also displayed their own signature skills.
Lin Ye directly launched an assault on those Kirigakure ninjas using the Akimichi clan's secret technique, [Human Bullet Tank].
He was like a human tank, charging and crashing through, with an astonishing momentum.
As for Yuan Danqing, after a brief moment of hand seals, he unhesitatingly performed the Inuzuka clan's secret technique, [Beast Mimicry Technique: Four Legs Technique]!
This technique could significantly increase his speed and attack power for a short period.
His task was to coordinate with Wang Shanshan to finish off the Kirigakure ninjas that Lin Ye had knocked away with his [Human Bullet Tank].
This was the tactic they had discussed before entering.
Although it was their first time working together, they coordinated quite tacitly.
In just a few breaths of time, several Kirigakure ninjas had already been taken out by them.
However, compared to Jiang Chen, the kill speed of the four of them was still much slower.
Jiang Chen was seen flickering back and forth across the field using the Body Flicker Technique, and with every swipe of his katana, a Kirigakure ninja would fall to the ground.
After Li Yanran and the others finished killing a wave of Kirigakure ninjas, they turned around and discovered that over twenty Kirigakure ninjas were already lying in a pool of blood on Jiang Chen's side.
And every single one of them had been killed with a single strike.
Lin Ye looked incredulous: "Damn, how does it feel like Jiang Chen is getting stronger and stronger? Before, he needed several slashes to kill one Kirigakure ninja, but now he can finish one with a single strike. And he hasn't even leveled up, has he?"
Wang Shanshan had noticed something: "It's combat experience. Look at his movements when he swings his blade; not a single one is superfluous, and the angles are extremely tricky. These skills can only be accumulated through real combat."
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
They all knew that participating in battles frequently could improve a person's combat skills.
But wasn't this Jiang Chen's speed of absorbing combat experience a bit too fast?
"Alright, basic swordsmanship practice is about enough. Let's speed up the clear from here on."
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly sheathed his sword, his hands flipping quickly as he formed a series of hand seals.
"Water Release: Water Colliding Wave!"
The next second, he opened his mouth and spat towards his feet.
A massive column of water gushed out, directly knocking all the surrounding Kirigakure ninjas who were rushing up away.
In an instant, the entire trial ground turned into a vast expanse of water.
However, it wasn't over yet.
After the water flow scattered those Kirigakure ninjas, Jiang Chen's hand seals suddenly changed.
In an instant, a dazzling electric light condensed in his palm.
"Lightning Release: Chidori!"
"—Chirp!"
The sharp sound of electricity exploded, like thousands of birds chirping simultaneously, deafening!
At this very moment, Jiang Chen stood on the water, lightning in his palm, like a god of war descending.
The moment he thrust that ball of lightning into the water, the entire trial ground suddenly erupted with a powerful electric current.
All the Kirigakure ninjas that had been scattered by the water wave were instantly electrocuted into charred corpses emitting black smoke.
The entire scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Li Yanran and the others stared blankly at the Kirigakure ninjas lying on the ground, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
It wasn't until a familiar voice sounded that they were pulled back to reality from their shock.
"Notification: Secret Realm mission complete. The entire team receives rewards: 600 EXP, 2 Kunai, 10 Shuriken!"
"Notification: Congratulations on breaking the Secret Realm clearance record. All team members receive an additional reward of 1000 EXP and 2 Bronze Treasure Chests!"
The Secret Realm record was refreshed again.
Jiang Chen and the others not only received a large amount of EXP rewards but also obtained quite a few additional material rewards.
Among them were two Bronze Treasure Chests.
Jiang Chen opened those two chests without hesitation.
Perhaps the protagonist's luck had played a role.
This time, he opened two C-rank Ninjutsu skills from the chests.
One was "Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique," and the other was "Earth Release: Earth Dragon Submersion Technique."
Li Yanran and her team's luck wasn't as good this time.
Out of the four, only Li Yanran opened a C-rank Wind Release skill.
The others all opened some EXP rewards and ninja tool rewards.
However, it is worth mentioning.
After clearing the Secret Realm this time, the levels of all four of them had increased.
...
Secret Realm Entrance.
At this moment, many people were still searching for Li Yanran's team near the stone tablet.
Just then.
Someone suddenly noticed that the records on the stone tablet had actually refreshed again:
[Secret Realm Difficulty (Easy): Speedrun Team—Li Yanran! (Time: 13 minutes)]
[Secret Realm Difficulty (Hard): Speedrun Team—Li Yanran! (Time: 7 minutes 14 seconds)]
[Secret Realm Difficulty (Hell): Speedrun Team—None!]
This refreshed Secret Realm record instantly shocked everyone in the valley.
"It's Li Yanran's team again..."
"They cleared the Hard difficulty faster than the Easy difficulty? Are they using cheats?"
"Speedrunning the Secret Realm in seven minutes, are they even human?"
"Damn, it takes us nearly two hours to clear the Easy difficulty, how did they pull off seven minutes?"
"I know, they must have used large-scale destructive items like explosive tags."
"Impossible, that Secret Realm only allows conventional ninja tools; you can't use explosive tags."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Secret Realm entrance.
With a flash of white light, Li Yanran and the others were also teleported back.
However, they didn't pay any attention to the people by the stone tablet after returning. Instead, at Jiang Chen's suggestion, they entered the Secret Realm once more.
And this time, the Secret Realm difficulty they chose was Hell level!
Li Yanran originally didn't want to take the risk.
But the shock Jiang Chen had brought her earlier was simply too great.
This caused a strong sense of dependence on this man to grow deep within her heart.
Now, whatever Jiang Chen said, she would believe unconditionally.
What's more.
She also felt an urgent desire to prove herself.
After all, even the team personally led by her father had failed to clear this Hell-level Secret Realm years ago.
If she could succeed in clearing it this time.
It would surely cause a sensation throughout Jinghai City, and even the entire Dragon Country.
That way, her father would finally look at her in a new light.
