Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

[Dungeon complete. Drops: Nine Blades of the Broken Army, B-grade Battle Blade, Green Vine Fruit, Heaven and Earth Slash...]

Back in his room, Su Jing let out a long breath. Instead of rushing to enter the dungeon again, he savored the feeling of his final strike.

That strike was imbued with all his conviction, a conviction to perish together with his opponent, thus transcending the scope of an ordinary attack.

After reflecting for a while, Su Jing's face lit up with joy. Indeed, life-or-death battles are the best way to unleash one's potential and improve one's strength.

In just a few moves, his strength had reached this level. That last strike would be considered invincible among ordinary fourth-tier Hengxing cultivators.

This is something I never dared to imagine before.

Looking at the loot from this dungeon, although there were still many scattered items, none of them contained the Light Law Affinity that Su Jing desired most.

The number of kills this time was similar to the last time, so theoretically the gains should have been greater.

As a result, some items are now missing, which seems to indicate a problem with the drop rate.

However, Su Jing wasn't discouraged. As long as he could give it enough time, drop rates wouldn't be a problem. After all, time was the one thing that was never lacking in this universe.

The lifespan of each realm is exceptionally long, so he doesn't need to worry about these issues.

Su Jing focused his attention on the "Nine Blades of Breaking Army," which was among the top items the system indicated would drop. It was likely one of the items that would drop during today's Star-Level 4 event.

If he hadn't had a breakthrough and a sudden enlightenment in his final strike, he really wouldn't have been able to kill his opponent. His opponent's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

Su Jing's decision to accept "Nine Blades of Breaking the Army" felt similar to accepting skill books before, except that this time the secret technique was only at the constant level.

While it may not be as powerful as Su Jing's "Nine Blades of Purple Lightning," it shares many similarities in sword techniques but also has its unique aspects, all of which can offer him different insights.

His swordsmanship improved considerably, if it weren't for the fact that the fourth move of the "Nine Blades of Purple Lightning" required some understanding of the lightning domain.

Perhaps I could even master the fourth move by now, but I'm not bad at all, with another aspect of swordsmanship brought by the "Nine Blades of Breaking Army".

This has great reference value for his improvement.

After receiving the transmission, Su Jing didn't retrieve anything else; those things were useless to him.

I chose to enter the dungeon again. Now that I have gained new insights, I naturally want to test them. Only a life-or-death battle can prove my strength.

Although I wouldn't survive long in "Undercurrents," it's under such high pressure that I can better unleash my potential.

Su Jing began frantically grinding through dungeons, dying in "Riotous Slaves" and gaining insights before entering the "Undercurrents" dungeon for experimentation.

The two instances cycled without any pause, while also summarizing experiences.

The next day, Su Jingxian, whose strength had increased considerably, chose to continue dealing with the four fourth-tier Constant Star slaves.

After all, the psychic talent he needed could probably be obtained from that psychic.

After a fierce battle, they killed the gun-wielding star-level slave. However, they were then surrounded and killed by the two attackers, though severely wounded.

Taking on three opponents at once is quite difficult; I still need to continue improving my skills.

I was lucky today and the Light Law Affinity was revealed.

As for the first instance, they successfully managed to kill the level 5 slave, but were instantly killed by Winnie.

This woman is really strong! She's completely different from the mentalist in the second instance.

On the third day, choose another route.

Damn it, why didn't anyone tell him that there was a level 8 Hengxing slave a few squares away on the other side? That's probably the final boss.

Fortunately, the instance is divided into plazas, and the other people won't move until you enter your designated plaza.

The first instance is different; it starts with an attack from the very beginning.

On the fifth day, he successfully defeated the fourth-tier Hengxing level warrior wielding a sword, but unfortunately, no sword technique manual dropped. Although the Hengxing level sword technique was weak for him, it still had its unique aspects.

On the seventh day, I successfully killed the level 4 slaves wielding knives and guns. I originally thought I could obtain the telekinetic talent.

It turns out that the fourth-tier, level-four spiritualist was truly powerful; no wonder the price was three times higher—you get what you pay for!

My psychic abilities are still far inferior; I'm still at the planetary level, and I'd collapse at the slightest impact.

On the tenth day, while being impacted by psychic power, Su Jing discovered that his psychic power was also rapidly increasing under such circumstances.

What doesn't kill him will only make him stronger!

He suddenly stopped being in a hurry to kill the mentalist. Such a good path to advancement was something he rarely encountered.

After all, it's too difficult for others to master this kind of cultivation; one wrong move and they could suffer permanent damage. No one would use such a risky method.

But none of this mattered to Su Jing! It didn't matter if he died in the dungeon, so he just went for it!

On the twentieth day, Su Jing finally took a solid step forward, successfully killing the level 5 slave in the dungeon [Undercurrents].

Although he was instantly killed by Winnie, he successfully eliminated the enemy inside, which was a significant breakthrough.

A breakthrough from zero to one! Although the loot was only a B-grade battle sword, the significance of that alone is different.

Since obtaining the first instance a month ago, I haven't killed a single enemy in it. This is the first time.

This means that one's strength has been further improved.

The only unfortunate advantage was that even though he could kill a fifth-tier Hengxing level cultivator, he couldn't defeat that fourth-tier Hengxing level mentalist.

The main problem was that fighting three opponents at once was too exhausting.

On the thirtieth day, Su Jing emerged from the instance, not having had time to digest what had been inside.

After swallowing a Spirit Nourishing Fruit that he had prepared beforehand, Su Jing began to digest and absorb it.

He then went into seclusion to break through the barrier. During his previous training, his mental power had reached its limit.

This level couldn't be overcome by simply grinding things out; luckily, he had a good father who had prepared everything in advance.

He had originally anticipated that it would take a long time for his mental strength to reach the Hengxing level; after all, that's how it is for people with poor talent.

What is not a problem for others, or even taken for granted, is a big problem for them.

It needs to be taken seriously, but everything is different now.

Through dozens of life-or-death trials, his mental strength had been honed to its limit. Now, all he needed to do was break through this bottleneck with the help of external forces.

As for whether it would fail, Su Jing wasn't worried at all. After all, he had faced so many life-or-death situations...

He has an extremely precise grasp of himself, so there won't be any problem with his breakthrough.
