Chapter 118: Breaking Records Again.
Chapter 118: Breaking Records Again.
"He's in the Lost Village!"
"That freak, so decisive as always."
"Do you think he'll break the record? I heard he broke the records for both the secret realm of the college entrance examination and the freshman assessment..."
...
Secret Realm Hall.
All the students were discussing it animatedly.
The staff member calmly looked at the group of students and said, "Breaking a record isn't that easy. Do you know what the best clearance time for the 'Lost Village' secret realm is?"
The students all looked curiously at the staff member.
Obviously, they didn't know yet.
"It's 45 seconds!"
The staff member revealed the answer.
Wow!
The students were all shocked.
They looked at the staff member with disbelief written all over their faces.
"Senior, don't tease us. This secret realm is higher in level than the 'Millennium Snow Cave,' how could the clearance record be so short!"
The staff member was a sophomore senior.
He worked here part-time.
To earn points for the Tianyan Ranking.
In fact, many sophomore and junior students work part-time at school in addition to their classes.
Some work in the Enchantment Hall, some in the Secret Realm Hall...
Educational resources are scarce, so it's impossible to have a teacher do nothing and come here to guard the secret realm.
"How could I deceive you? You can go to the school's official website and check the holders of the clearance records for each secret realm."
"Anyway, Ling Zhan is indeed impressive, but he shouldn't be able to break the record for this secret realm."
The senior student said confidently with a smile.
The students nodded slowly at the words.
It made sense.
After all, a clearance record of 45 seconds was indeed too exaggerated.
"But... he has become so handsome." Suddenly, a girl couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone else: ???
We're discussing whether he can break the record or not!
How did we get onto the topic of whether he's handsome or not?
"It must be because he took some beauty-enhancing pills..."
"That's impossible. I've tried the most expensive beauty pills on the market, and I haven't become as handsome as him!"
"You can vaguely see the contours of his previous appearance, but it feels like someone has meticulously carved his features and body..."
"This is completely the level of genetic improvement, damn it! How can he be so handsome!"
"Alright, enough! No matter how handsome he is, he still can't break the record anyway!"
....
Inside the secret realm.
Inside the castle hall.
The boss has already been awakened.
These are two zombie kings.
One male and one female, both clad in armor.
Their flesh has turned pitch black and is completely rotten.
You can see maggots crawling in their hollow eye sockets.
[Monster: Lauren (Zombie Emperor)]
[Monster: Linda (Zombie Queen)]
...
Under the "Eye of Appraisal."
In addition to the health bar and resistance values.
Skills and talents are all displayed as '???'.
In the final note, there is one line: Immune to Poison status.
...
Before they could even examine their background stories in detail, these two zombie kings, carrying a stench of death and a chilling intent to kill, rushed towards Ling Zhan!
Their long claws were filled with a strong corpse poison, and any touch would surely be fatal!
They were incredibly fast, like lightning!
Just by looking at this attack, one could tell that the attributes of these two zombie kings far exceeded those of the Ogre King in the freshman assessment.
However...
For some reason, a faint purple color appeared in Ling Zhan's cold eyes.
Under Ling Zhan's gaze, their movements seemed to be slowed down, as if the flow of time had been decelerated by a time machine.
They were full of openings.
At this moment.
Ling Zhan realized that this should be the benefit brought to him by the Eye Technique talent.
But there was no time to experiment with the effect of this Eye Technique talent now.
Because he wanted to break the record!
Only by breaking the record could he get additional rewards!
"Light Teleportation" Second Stage!
A light that was imperceptible to the naked eye flashed by!
The armor of the Zombie Emperor and Zombie Queen was instantly stripped away!
Revealing their disgustingly rotten bodies.
Even through the tattered holes in their clothes, Ling Zhan could see their rotten organs that had completely ceased to move!
At this moment.
The resistance of the Zombie Emperor and Zombie Queen instantly dropped to its lowest value.
At the same time, the effect of the title "Undress Maniac" was fully utilized!
They were directly plunged into a 3-second state of fear!
It has to be said.
This "Undress Technique" is indeed very effective against monsters wearing armor.
In the end...
It was the "Rampage" the longsword form of the Thousand Mechanisms Ring.
Without any surprises, the instantaneous attacks of the swords completely cleared the health bars of these two zombie kings.
Since the opponents were already stripped of their armor and in a state of fear, the most suitable weapon was to deploy the longsword "Rampage," stacking the "Vulnerable" BUFF, effortlessly zeroing their health.
Simple and easy.
Utterly boring.
For Ling Zhan at his current level, this level of secret realm is no different from a free experience package.
If it weren't for the fact that the low-level secret realms controlled by the Tianyan Academy are so few, Ling Zhan would have cleared them all.
Ding!
"Congratulations on successfully clearing the 'Lost Village' secret realm!"
"Your completion time for this secret realm challenge is '10 seconds'! Your overall performance evaluation is: SSS level!"
"In the overall ranking of the single-player mode of this secret realm, your performance ranks first!"
"Congratulations on breaking the historical single-player completion time record for this secret realm and becoming the fastest single-player to clear it!"
"Next, we will issue the secret realm clearance rewards to you..."
...
No surprises.
Another record is broken.
The exaggerated displacement of the "Light Teleportation" third stage.
Combined with the armor-stripping and fear effects of the "Undress Technique."
In this "One Shot" secret realm, a 10-second record seems normal.
If it weren't for the three seconds spent surveying the layout upon entering the secret realm, Ling Zhan could have saved those three seconds.
Of course, Ling Zhan wouldn't be bored enough to repeat the challenge, after all, the record has already been broken.
Moreover, even if he compressed the clearance record to 5 seconds, the rewards would not change.
After all, the current clearance reward has reached its maximum value.
Next...
It's time for the rewards to be distributed.
[Secret Realm Clearance Rewards Distribution Begins!]
[Secret Realm Clearance Reward 1: 60,000 experience points.]
[Secret Realm Clearance Reward 2: 80 free attribute points, 80 free skill points.]

[Secret Realm Clearance Reward 4: Title 'Zombie Slayer.']
[Secret Realm Clearance Reward 5: B-grade, no profession restriction skill book 'Necromancy.']
[To congratulate you on breaking the record for the fastest single-player clearance time in this secret realm, you will be able to choose one of the following secret realm talents as a reward!]
[Secret Realm Talent 1: Conqueror (A-): Your attacks can stack up to 12 layers of BUFF, when fully stacked, you gain a 12% physical attack boost and 12% lifesteal effect.]

...
Unlike before,
This time, it's a choice of three.
