Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

[Dungeon complete. Drops: Light Law Affinity, A-grade Battle Blade, Azure Vine Fruit, Nine Steps of the Netherworld...]

[Note: Once the dropped item is removed, it cannot be stored again.]

"snort……"

Su Jing emerged from the dungeon, but this time he hadn't managed to kill the second-tier Hengxing slave. Initially, their fight was evenly matched.

Su Jing could gain the upper hand and barely suppress his opponent by virtue of his various advantages, but during the fight...

Inevitably, they entered the adjacent plaza, where three level-four slaves of the Eternal Star rank were located, one of whom was a mentalist.

As expected, Su Jing was surrounded and killed by them, but he didn't come away empty-handed.

From the initial battle against that second-tier Star-level being to the later life-or-death struggle against four Star-level beings,

He could feel his body changing; his physical evolution was accelerating, something he couldn't do in the killing field.

After all, the battles in the dungeons are real life-or-death struggles. If it were anyone else, they might have already broken through their limits under such training.

However, his talent ultimately held him back; otherwise, he wouldn't be only at the third level of the Hengxing Star now, but at least at the ninth level, and his combat power wouldn't be so low.

Su Jing looked at the spoils; they were a jumble of things, mostly items from the slaves, or things they had used.

Looking at the light principle and affinity that I value most on my panel,

With a thought, Su Jing confirmed the extraction. He felt as if a beam of light enveloped him, then vanished. It all seemed like a hallucination.

Su Jing sensed the changes around him; it was no different from before he used it. However, he noticed that one of the rewards had disappeared from the panel.

He knew that his affinity for the laws of light had indeed increased somewhat, but only slightly.

I didn't kill any planetary-level enemies in the dungeon, which means this loot came from a planetary-level apprentice-level enemy.

So even with such talent, he'd probably be quite weak. But Su Jing wasn't worried, since he could run a dungeon every day.

If you do this once a day, over time, little by little, your affinity for the laws of light will increase to a very high level.

Time is now on our side; the lifespan of a star is one era.

Even with just this one instance, he could raise his understanding of light to a very high level in such a long period of time.

However, it certainly won't be that slow. After all, as his cultivation level increases and he encounters more advanced dungeons, he'll likely see a significant improvement in power with each dungeon run.

This yields far more than countless low-level dungeons, so it's essential to increase your cultivation level to unlock more dungeons. This way, your strength will create a positive feedback loop.

Raise your cultivation level to unlock higher-level dungeons, then further improve your cultivation level within those dungeons, and finally search for more dungeons...

It allows you to ascend to heaven by pushing off with your left foot and spiraling upwards with your right!

Su Jing took out the Green Luo Fruit, examined it, and finding nothing wrong with it, ate it. It wasn't some rare treasure; it was quite common.

It's most useful at the planetary level, but its effect is only enough to barely promote a small flow of energy. Su Jing didn't skimp on energy even at the planetary level.

It can be said that he has tasted all the resources in the Heluo Primary Universe Kingdom that are useful to planetary-level beings.

For a cosmic entity, planetary-level resources are naturally plentiful; however, resources suitable for enhancing talents are extremely scarce.

Su Jing has never encountered this before in all these years.

He didn't care much about the Green Vine Fruit, but he was still very happy, after all, this fruit had appeared in reality.

This perfectly proves the authenticity of the system's dungeon; after all, I hadn't killed a single person in the past, resulting in no loot drops.

So he still had some doubts, but he was unwilling to give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now everything was clear.

Su Jing focused his gaze on the "Nine Steps of the Netherworld," which, like the affinity with the laws of light he had just encountered,

Skill books cannot be retrieved in reality; they can only be obtained within one's consciousness.

Su Jing chose to use it, and the next moment the book in his mind suddenly collapsed, turning into countless pieces of information that flooded into his mind.

In a daze, Su Jing also saw himself successfully mastering the "Nine Steps of the Mysterious Darkness" after countless practices.

Having completed the absorption, Su Jing wasn't too concerned about this secret technique. It sounded powerful, but in reality, it was just a planetary-level footwork technique.

Su Jing's cultivation level was far higher than this, but the effects of the secret techniques instilled in the dungeon were still quite good, although this was because he had a superior understanding of the situation.

However, the effect is quite obvious; if I were to obtain a secret technique that I could cultivate in the future...

Then you can use these skill books to improve your arcane skills, saving a lot of time.

As for whether there will be any issues with an unstable foundation, there won't be any. When the system instills the secret technique, it's equivalent to letting him cultivate it thousands of times on his own.

So it's a genuine grasp of it, it was just that the system instilled it in me in that instant, so there's no need to worry about the foundation.

I checked the time, and it hadn't changed at all. Sure enough, inside the instance, I was stationary from the outside.

If you spend a long time in the instance, you can also treat it as a different kind of time-wasting activity.

As for when he entered the instance, he remained in seclusion, and no one else could tell that anything was different.

This allowed him to enter the instance with peace of mind, at least without others noticing that something was wrong with him.

There's still a lot to discover in dungeons. I've only just started exploring them myself, and I've only completed two so far.

However, Su Jing could already see a bright future for himself. He just needed to survive for the sake of that future; he didn't need to fight and kill like the others.

You can do it in the instance yourself, which not only ensures safety but also yields just as many rewards.

Without lingering for long, we continued into the [Undercurrents] dungeon.

The familiar main hall, the familiar faces.

After withstanding one more attack, Su Jing was instantly killed again.

After emerging, Su Jing was not discouraged. He immediately took out a Heavenly Sun Fruit from his storage ring and swallowed it.

After the brief battle, he felt he had reached a bottleneck and was ready to break through.

So he didn't care about being killed, but immediately began to break through his limits. After all, if he missed such an opportunity, who knew when another one would come along?

His talent was simply too poor. For others, those minor realms that required accumulation could be skipped directly by using resources.

For him, it would take some time to reach that level. His potential is estimated to be only at the first or second tier of the Hengxing realm. He's only reached this level thanks to his father.

So now that there's an opportunity for a breakthrough, he naturally won't let it slip by.
