Chapter 73 The Madman
Chapter 73 The Madman
For Tan Ji and Situ Guiyi, the battle that day was undoubtedly an ordeal.
In order to maintain their top two positions on the leaderboard, they had no choice but to frantically search for the Abyss Clan and fight them to the death.
They were especially puzzled when they discovered that Jiang Chen could earn 30 points with a single kill.
Keep in mind that killing a late-stage Tier 2 Abyss Clan member will only increase their score by a maximum of 3 points.
Sometimes, even if you kill a whole squad, you still can't get 30 points.
This undoubtedly put enormous pressure on Tan Ji and Situ Guiyi.
They had to work twice as hard, searching everywhere for traces of the Abyss Clan, fearing that Jiang Chen would overtake them.
Tan Ji is alright; her physical level is relatively high, so she can handle it.
But Situ Guiyi was not so lucky.
As an archer, he constantly longed for his physical level to improve, even just a little bit.
In the stillness of the night, Situ Guiyi lay on a tree, closing his eyes wearily.
But he dared not fall into a deep sleep, fearing that the Abyss Clan might take advantage of his vulnerability and launch a surprise attack.
In his sleep, Situ Guiyi always felt that a pair of bright yellow eyes were watching him in the dark. The gaze was cold and greedy, as if it would pounce on him and tear him to pieces at any moment.
He woke up with a start, covered in sweat, his heart pounding.
All around was silent, except for the rustling of the wind through the treetops.
Situ Guiyi let out a long breath, inwardly cursing himself for being too neurotic.
But he knew that this tension and fear stemmed from his apprehension of Jiang Chen.
How did that guy even do that?
Why can the score increase at such an alarming rate?
Did he really find some kind of "bug"?
Situ Gui was completely baffled, his mind filled with Jiang Chen's harmless face.
He secretly vowed that he would work even harder tomorrow and would never let Jiang Chen take away his second place.
Tan Ji was also tossing and turning in bed.
As a peerless genius, she had never experienced being chased.
But now, Jiang Chen's relentless pressure has made her feel unprecedented stress.
Tan Ji clenched her fists, her beautiful eyes flashing with determination.
No, she absolutely cannot lose!
No one can surpass her!
For Tan Ji and Situ Guiyi, this was destined to be a sleepless night.
In the darkness, all three of them were focused on Jiang Chen.
They were all secretly vowing to do their utmost in the days to come to solidify their position on the leaderboard.
......
On the battlefield, severed limbs and broken arms were scattered all over the ground.
Jiang Chen stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his figure like a war god, inspiring awe.
After purging the surrounding Abyss Clan, he actually found a secluded spot, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate on the basic laws!
The observers inside the fortress were stunned by this scene.
They looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes.
"Visualizing the basics on the battlefield? How dare this kid do that!" Niu Chao exclaimed in amazement. He had never seen such a bold move before.
"I'm speechless. Does he have absolutely no battlefield survival experience or is he just too reckless?" Diao Wa shook his head, finding Jiang Chen's behavior unbelievable.
"Perhaps the Abyss race within this elementary rift isn't a threat to him at all," someone analyzed. "Look, he's already killed four Abyss monsters today!"
"He's absolutely insane!" another observer exclaimed. "Who in their right mind would kill the murloc warrior first, then force the siren mage to summon abyssal monsters, and then slaughter them one by one?"
"Yeah, that level 16 siren mage was forced to learn Abyss Summoning under the threat of death. It's hilarious to think about."
The crowd discussed the matter animatedly, their initial shock towards Jiang Chen gradually turning into admiration.
They realized that behind this seemingly crazy move was a brilliant and ingenious plan.
Jiang Chen used his immense strength to completely suppress the Abyss Clan, leaving them utterly powerless to resist.
The reason he forced the siren mage to summon abyssal monsters was to hone his skills and improve his combat experience.
The courage to repeatedly test the limits of life and death is something ordinary people simply cannot imagine.
But Jiang Chen did it, and he did it with ease, as if everything was under his control.
"This kid is an absolute madman," Niu Chao exclaimed. "But he's a madman with real talent, a genius!"
Yes, Jiang Chen, in his unique way, exemplified what it means to be a "mad genius".
Every move he makes, though seemingly unconventional, is actually the result of deep planning and foresight.
And now, he is practicing basic techniques on the battlefield, which is an even more insane and daring decision.
But everyone believed that with Jiang Chen's strength, he must have his own considerations.
Niu Chao called out to the team leader and ordered in a deep voice: "Teams one, teams one, move toward this coordinate. If you spot any Abyss Clan members nearby, report immediately. No, no need to report, just use signal flares to alert them."
......
Your Spirit level has increased from 18.083 to 18.935.
There was no dramatic incident where Jiang Chen was attacked by the Abyss Clan while he was cultivating.
Add the 3 free attribute points gained in the afternoon to the second-tier sword technique.
Your second-tier swordsmanship has increased from 52% to 55%.
Jiang Chen checked his personal attribute panel to understand his current strength.
[Body Level: 20.99 (Tier 2)]
[Spiritual Level: 18.935 (Tier 2)]
【Techniques: Thunder Cultivation Method, Basic Visualization Method, Raging Thunder Blade Technique (100%)】
[Skill Level: Second-tier swordsmanship (55%), Second-tier movement technique (28%)]
[Talent: Diligence can compensate for lack of talent]
He was either hunting down alien races or searching for them all day long, and his agility actually improved by 10%.
However, the improvement in skills is still too slow.
Looks like I'll have to kill a lot more aliens tomorrow.
sleep!
Make sure you're well-rested, because I still need to work hard to earn points tomorrow!
......
Yesterday's battle didn't seem to affect Jiang Chen's sleep quality. He was fast asleep with a faint smile on his lips, as if he were having a sweet dream.
Unaware that his astonishing performance yesterday had caused a huge uproar throughout the fortress, Jiang Chen was still asleep.
Countless people are talking about him, full of anticipation and curiosity about his strength and potential.
At four in the morning, Jiang Chen also slowly woke up.
He stretched, feeling the abundant power within him, and the smile on his lips became even more pronounced.
"It's time to hunt down another batch of Abyss Clan members." A fighting spirit flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as he quickly picked up his longsword and stepped out of his hiding place.
The surroundings were peaceful and serene, but Jiang Chen knew that beneath this seemingly tranquil land, countless Abyss Clan members were eyeing the land covetously, ready to launch a deadly attack at any moment.
Without the slightest hesitation, he walked straight towards the direction where the Abyss Clan appeared.
Soon, Jiang Chen's keen senses detected the presence of a small Abyss Clan team.
