"Who are these people?"
"Just by looking at them, you can tell they are from a guild, definitely a very powerful one."
"And who is that young girl over there?"
"She is the SS-grade Class Li Yunxi, a Dragon Knight. From the moment she awoke, she received a Dragon Egg, which has already hatched."
"What? An SS-grade Class?"
"Heavens, is that the legendary Dragon Knight?"
"Look, the dragon is out."
Jiang Chen turned his head to look. The woman had a tall figure. She wore Armor that was clear and translucent, revealing graceful curves. With her boots and sword, she looked dashing and heroic.
The woman did a flip and mounted the dragon.
Jiang Chen was stunned.
"Isn't she beautiful? An SS-grade Dragon Knight Class, and she received a Dragon Egg right from birth. She's truly been blessed by the All Gods."
Jiang Chen recognized the voice instantly.
He turned to look at Murong Yi.
Murong Yi smiled. "Are you envious?"
"There's nothing to envy. Is that really a dragon?"
"Of course, it's a Fire Attribute dragon. It maintains a close bond with its Class, never betraying them, and its combat power is extremely formidable."
"No, that's not a dragon."
"Then what is it?"
"That's a lizard."
Murong Yi gave him a disdainful look. "Some say grapes are sour when they cannot eat them."
Jiang Chen had nothing to envy.
Even if it was a Dragon Knight, so what?
Although Jiang Chen was a Swordsman, the lowest-ranked Swordsman, after the Hundred Times Amplification, he had become a Super Divine-level Class and feared no Dragon Knight.
Murong Yi said, "In all of Xihai City, only two SS-grade Classes have emerged. One is the Dragon Knight Li Yunxi before us, and the other is the Angel, Shangguan Yunqiu."
"Besides the two SS-grade Classes, there are also eight S-grade Classes, and these eight are all incredibly strong. In the upcoming trials, they will be your rivals."
Jiang Chen knew this information but had never taken it to heart.
What did it matter if their Classes were powerful? Jiang Chen had the Hundred Times Amplification.
"What are they doing here?"
"Naturally, they're here for the Underworld Altar."
"For equipment?"
"That's part of the reason, but mostly it's for training. After all, clearing the altar awards Level One, along with a lot of experience."
Jiang Chen pondered.
"Here she comes, even Shangguan Yunqiu has arrived—the Angel!"
"My goodness, such a beautiful Angel, she's gorgeous."
"That's the might of an SS Class, an Angel. How I envy her."
"How can an Angel have Wings?"
"Don't you know? Angels naturally come with Wings."
Another SS Class emerged from the altar, soaring into the sky upon arrival, making everyone look up in admiration, causing countless Heroes to feel envious.
Jiang Chen looked up at the sky.
She possessed pure Wings, a set of white Armor. Her beautiful white hair cascaded over her body, flowing like a small waterfall, rippling with waves and glinting with golden light.
Another formidable Class.
The Dragon Knight looked at the Angel and said with a smile, "Shangguan Yunqiu, I didn't expect to see you here."
Shangguan Yunqiu glanced at the Dragon Knight. "If you can come, naturally, I can come too. I also want to experience the Underworld Altar for myself."
"Sorry, but I won't be forming a team with you."
"I wouldn't form a team with you either; I have my own team."
"Then you'll have to wait until after my trial before you can go in."
"The Twilight Guild isn't afraid of your Dragon God's Guild."
The two women faced off, neither willing to let the other go in first, both wanting to be the first to enter.
Jiang Chen laughed.
This is interesting.
Murong Yi said, "Dragon Knight Li Yunxi is the daughter of the Dragon God's Guild's leader in the Dragon Nation and holds significant status within the guild. The Angel is Shangguan Yunqiu, daughter of the Twilight Guild's leader; the Twilight Guild is also an incredibly powerful guild."
Twilight Guild?
Jiang Chen remembered encountering four members of the Twilight Guild yesterday, all of whom were First-stage Classes, incredibly powerful.
"Sister, take her down."
Jiang Chen looked at the woman next to the Angel; this woman was the Ice Attribute Magician he had encountered yesterday, a very strong Class.
Was this woman so aggressive?
Jiang Chen smiled. "They won't really start fighting, will they?"
"Of course not, but there will definitely be a second and third completion of the Underworld Altar. It's just not clear who will be first and who will be second."
"After all, completing a dungeon comes with experience points and can also increase one's Level by one. If they go in, they could increase their Level by about two."
A glint appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.
He was worried about having nowhere to Level up. Since he had already cleared the dungeon once, why not just run it again? There was the system reward of Level One, plus experience points. He might even jump directly to Level 20.
No sooner said than done.
Jiang Chen turned and left, heading towards the cave.
A large group of Heroes surrounded this place, sealing off the cave completely.
"These are people from the Twilight Guild and the Shenlong Guild."
"They've obviously surpassed the required Level, so why are they guarding here?"
"They're waiting for their own people to go in. A team went in yesterday, and most of them died; this is a Nightmare-level challenge."
"They're pioneering a new dungeon. The rewards for the first three completions are the highest; later, the rewards are much less."
"The Twilight Guild and Shenlong Guild are too overbearing! Why do they stop us from going in?"
"Shh... keep your voice down. If they hear you, it could be serious. Besides, you, in your basic gear, want to go in to grind? Are you looking to die?"
Jiang Chen stood not far away, frowning as he watched the Twilight Guild and Shenlong Guild blocking the entrance.
How domineering.
Luckily, Jiang Chen's Skill had just broken through, activating Flash in the Void.
Jiang Chen disappeared from sight.
WHOOSH...
Jiang Chen appeared beside the altar, looking at the Nightmare-level Underworld Altar.
[Do you wish to enter the Nightmare-level Underworld Altar?]
[Yes.]
A flash of white light.
The expressions of those guarding outside changed.
"Damn it, someone entered the altar."
"Damn it, with such tight security, how did he get in?"
"Is this person insane? Going into the altar alone? This is the Nightmare-level Underworld Altar!"
"Don't worry, he'll fail soon enough."
"Don't fret; he will die in there. Once he dies, the dungeon will reset."
「Just as Jiang Chen entered the Underworld Dungeon.」
Li Yunxi and Shangguan Yunqiu both arrived outside the cave at the same time.
"Miss Yunxi, someone has broken into the altar."
Li Yunxi frowned. "Someone entered the altar? Why didn't you stop them?"
"We didn't notice; he went in by himself."
Shangguan Yunqiu asked, "Was he alone?"
"It seems so."
Shangguan Yunqiu said, "Then it's no trouble. The Underworld Altar only allows entry to those below Level 20. This person is surely looking for death by going in alone."
Only a powerful SS-grade Class might be able to solo the Nightmare-level Underworld Altar; even Li Yunxi and Shangguan Yunqiu weren't confident enough to do it alone.
An Elite Team followed behind them, all in uniform battle Armor Sets, to support them in entering the Underworld Altar.
Now that Jiang Chen had entered, they could only wait...
The two had reached a consensus.
The Underworld Altar had two more chances. Each side would send 10 people, 20 in total, to enter the Underworld Altar and clear it. Not only could they increase their Levels, but they could also gain experience points.
They might even get equipment drops.
And by clearing the altar twice, they could forcibly increase their Level by two.
Combined with the experience gained, an increase of four to five Levels was possible.
Now that Jiang Chen had entered, they could only wait for him to come out, or for Jiang Chen to die, at which point the Underworld Altar would reset.
