“This... This is way too powerful.”
Looking at Liu Xuan’s health bar, Wu Kang’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.
As a level 4, fragile little archer, Wu Kang only had a little over a hundred HP.
That wasn’t even a tiny fraction of Liu Xuan’s health.
While Wu Kang was still staring blankly, the more than twenty boarmen had already been wiped out by Liu Xuan. This left Wu Kang utterly speechless.
What had he just seen?
A damage number close to seven thousand?
“What are you spacing out for? If you don’t enter combat, you won’t get any experience!” Liu Xuan shouted at him.
Wu Kang finally snapped back to reality. “Oh, oh! Sorry, I forgot.”
Liu Xuan shook his head and turned around to continue gathering monsters.
He didn’t mind sharing some of the experience. He could use the opportunity to raise his stats anyway.
Besides, his leveling speed still wasn’t slow.
Although a full run of the dungeon only gave him a total of five hundred experience, Wu Kang’s help with picking up the loot meant that one complete run took only five minutes.
At that rate, farming monsters out in the wild couldn’t compare.
Wu Kang was the happiest of all. He had entered at level 4, but thanks to the experience bonus, he had already reached level 7 by the time they left the dungeon.
Once they were outside, his whole body was trembling.
“F... five minutes, and I’m already level 7?”
Liu Xuan patted him on the shoulder. “Why do you keep spacing out? Reset the dungeon.”
“Right, right!”
Wu Kang came back to his senses.
Damn, he had really latched onto a big shot this time!
The biggest, thickest leg in the entire world!
Wu Kang quickly reset the dungeon. After informing Liu Xuan, the two of them entered again.
Having learned from the previous run, Wu Kang now had a rough understanding of Liu Xuan’s route. While Liu Xuan fought the monsters, he went around picking up the loot.
He even managed to avoid interfering with Liu Xuan’s route.
“He’s pretty quick-witted,” Liu Xuan thought.
With the two of them working together, this run was even faster. They finished the entire dungeon in less than four minutes.
Then they left the dungeon and reset it again.
Before long, Wu Kang had used up all five of his daily resets, and his level had reached 10.
When the notification appeared—“You have reached the daily reset limit for this dungeon. Please return tomorrow.”—Wu Kang still felt reluctant to leave.
“Aw, how are we out of resets already?”
Liu Xuan smiled. “That’s about enough. Continuing to farm this dungeon won’t be very efficient for you anymore.”
Without the experience bonus, fighting these level 7 monsters and splitting the experience between them meant that each monster only gave one or two points.
“Legendary, I’ll give you everything I picked up. I have 1.5 gold, five stacks of [Rough Leather], five pieces of [Thick Boar Hide], and thirty pieces of equipment in my bag.”
Wu Kang’s inventory wasn’t big enough to hold all the equipment, so Liu Xuan had picked up some of it himself.
Actually, even Liu Xuan couldn’t fit that much in his bag. He had simply mailed the items directly to Zhang Meng while they were still inside the dungeon.
By now, Zhang Meng didn’t even need an explanation. Whenever he saw a pile of equipment in his mailbox, he knew exactly what it meant.
After sending Wu Kang on his way, Liu Xuan began looking for someone to join him for the next round.
“Looking for an EXP buddy! Equipment and level don’t matter, as long as you still have dungeon resets left!”
Several players who hadn’t found a party yet were quite tempted.
They had originally intended to form their own parties, but there was no harm in serving as an EXP buddy.
They wouldn’t even have to fight. All they had to do was give up their share of the money and equipment.
However, just as they were about to step forward, they saw a man and a woman hurry over.
The others could only shake their heads in disappointment. Too bad. It looked like they wouldn’t be getting a spot.
If those two used all ten of their runs, it would probably be dark by the time they finished.
“Big shot, we meet again!”
The newcomers were none other than Wang Fangcai and Xiao Lu, whom Liu Xuan had saved previously. They had originally come here to form a party and run the dungeon, but they happened to see Liu Xuan talking with Wu Kang.
They had wanted to come over and thank him, but on the way, they heard Liu Xuan calling for an EXP buddy and hurried over to claim the spots first.
Liu Xuan looked at the two of them in surprise. “Oh, it’s you two.”
“Yes, Big Shot. We really have to thank you for what happened last time,” Wang Fangcai said gratefully again.
Xiao Lu blushed. “We didn’t know you were the Legendary Liu Xuan from the rankings.”
Liu Xuan waved his hand. “It was nothing. You don’t have to keep thanking me. Why did you come looking for me?”
“Well... Big Shot, are you looking for EXP buddies?”
“Yeah. Do you two still have resets left?”
“We do, we do. We just got here and were about to form a party and look for someone.”
“All right, then. Either one of you can invite me first.”
Wang Fangcai hesitated before asking, “Big Shot, how many runs are you planning to do today?”
If Liu Xuan stopped early, only one of them might be able to join him.
Liu Xuan thought for a moment and glanced at the time. It was still early.
“We’ll see. Let’s start with thirty runs.”
“Huh?”
Even if they skipped the minor monsters and rushed straight to the boss, fifteen minutes per run meant that thirty runs would still take seven or eight hours.
Was he planning not to sleep?
Wang Fangcai and Xiao Lu followed Liu Xuan to the dungeon entrance in a daze. At that moment, Xiao Lu seemed to notice something and tugged on Wang Fangcai’s sleeve.
“What is it?”
Xiao Lu pointed at the stone tablet beside them. Wang Fangcai looked in that direction and saw the dungeon’s completion records.
The number one spot belonged to Liu Xuan.
The recorded time was fourteen seconds.
“...”
Wang Fangcai was completely speechless.
His limited skill had restricted his imagination. Liu Xuan didn’t need fifteen minutes to clear one run—not even fifteen seconds.
Liu Xuan noticed the two of them staring behind him and glanced at the stone tablet as well. Seeing their shocked expressions, he smiled.
“Don’t worry about that record. Before this lumberyard became a dungeon, the minor monsters and the boss shared aggro. Once the boss fight began, all the monsters would come running over, which made it convenient to wipe them out together. If you asked me to do it now, it would be difficult to get the same time.”
“Oh, I see,” Wang Fangcai said, nodding instinctively along with Liu Xuan’s explanation.
Xiao Lu, standing beside him, was speechless. “Brother Wang, why are you saying ‘oh, I see’? No matter how you look at it, having all the minor monsters share aggro would make things harder...”
After this little exchange, Wang Fangcai had Xiao Lu go first.
Once she invited Liu Xuan to the party, the two of them entered the dungeon.
Perhaps wanting to show off a little in front of him, Xiao Lu said with a smile, “Brother Xuan, I have a buff skill. It can increase an ally’s HP by 200 points. Let me cast it on you.”
After saying that, she applied the buff to Liu Xuan and then looked at his status in the party list.
To be honest, her skill was quite good. For most people, adding 200 HP was an extremely powerful buff.
But when Xiao Lu saw Liu Xuan’s health—an astounding 86,000 HP—her eyes went wide.
Had she accidentally looked at two extra zeroes?
More than eighty thousand HP?
Her buff skill seemed... completely useless.
Liu Xuan had no idea what she was thinking. He simply encouraged her out of habit.
“Hmm, that’s a pretty good buff. Thanks.”
Xiao Lu: “...”
The Legendary was praising her, so why did she feel like crying?
“I’m going in. Watch yourself and make sure you enter combat carefully.”
“All you have to do is heal me, and it’ll automatically put you into combat.”
Liu Xuan nodded and charged straight into the mob.
Unlike before, he no longer needed to lure a dozen or even twenty monsters together before dealing with them. After clearing the dungeon ten times, his Intelligence had now reached 327.
The damage dealt by Fear was “Intelligence × 3,” which came to 981.
The two types of porcupine-man mobs had only 800 HP at most!
So now Liu Xuan only needed to charge directly into a group of five or six mobs, let them attack him, and instantly wipe them out before moving on to the next group.
There was no need to wait for the poison damage to take effect anymore. His efficiency had improved by more than just a little.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
