Looking at the 2.6 billion experience points in the experience orb, Ye Chen had a thought.

[Log: Thunder Arrow successfully upgraded! Current level: 2.]

[Log: Thunder Arrow successfully upgraded! Current level: 3.]

...

[Log: Thunder Arrow successfully upgraded! Current level: 21.]

After consuming over 100 million experience points, Ye Chen successfully leveled up [Thunder Arrow] to level 21.

[Thunder Arrow (Level 21): Active skill. After charging for 1 second, fires a thunder arrow, dealing 1000% attack power as lightning damage to the target and paralyzing them for 7 seconds. Consumes 400 mana. Cooldown: 20 seconds.]

After Thunder Arrow is upgraded to level 21, the damage dealt increases from 600% to 1000%, the paralysis time on the target increases by 2 seconds, and the cooldown time is reduced by 10 seconds, basically catching up with the damage of level 1 Shadow Arrow.

However, [Thunder Arrow] deals lightning damage and can also paralyze the target, so its focus is different from [Shadowless Arrow].

When facing passive skills like [Super Mist Body], which are a major headache for physical classes, [Thunder Arrow] can deal three times the damage, but [Shadowless Arrow] can only deal 10% of the damage.

Different skills have different effects in different scenarios. The more different types of skills a professional masters, the more adept they will be in dealing with different situations.

Dark Arrow!

call out--

A golden arrow, with wisps of black mist clinging to it, hurtled toward the Lord of the Mist.

At the same time, a golden arrow engulfed in flames followed closely behind.

Boom—

The [Exploding Arrow] exploded the moment it made contact with the [Lord of the Mist], with a huge explosion.

The normal monsters near the Lord of the Mist are instantly on the verge of death.

It wailed incessantly as it was burned by the flames.

"Damn little bug, I'm going to tear you to pieces..."

The Lord of the Mist was instantly enraged by this sudden attack, letting out a hideous howl.

A thick fog enveloped all the monsters in the vicinity.

Enveloped in mist, all the monsters' health points continuously regenerated, only to decrease further due to the burning damage.

"it's all over……"

Ye Chen looked down at the enraged Lord of the Mist, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Shadow Cloak!

Thunder Arrow!

Lightning crackled in Ye Chen's hand. After charging for a second, an arrow crackling with lightning power shot out from the sky.

With the power of thunder, the arrows moved with lightning speed.

Boom—

The Lord of the Mist and the three Mist Guards had their health bars instantly emptied and collapsed to the ground.

In that instant, the Lord of the Mist suffered over 20 million damages, a damage that even if its health were several times higher, it could not withstand.

[Log: Successfully defeated a level 40 Mist Guard, 5 levels above the opponent's level, gaining 360 million experience points (an additional 200% experience bonus for defeating opponents 5 levels above the opponent's level).]

[Log: Successfully defeated the level 40 Lord of the Mist, 5 levels above the opponent's level, gaining 1.2 billion experience points (an additional 200% experience bonus for defeating opponents 5 levels above the opponent's level).]

...

After defeating the Lord of the Mist, Ye Chen stood quietly in the air, waiting for the dungeon to be completed.

A few seconds later, all the monsters had their health bars emptied by the burning damage of the [Explosive Arrow], and the dungeon's settlement notification followed immediately.

Congratulations on successfully clearing the Gold-level dungeon – Misty Forest!

[Completion time: 2 minutes and 25 seconds!]

[Duration Rating: SSS]

[Personal Rating: SSS]

Overall Rating: SSS

[Dungeon completion rewards will be automatically distributed shortly!]

...

Looking at the overall rating for clearing the dungeon, Ye Chen wasn't surprised at all.

"A completion time of 2 minutes and 25 seconds is barely acceptable; I should be able to get quite a few good items!"

Ye Chen thought to himself.

Before tackling the [Misty Forest] dungeon, Ye Chen had already researched the relevant information.

The fastest historical clear time for the [Misty Forest] dungeon on Abyss difficulty is 20 minutes and 52 seconds, achieved thirty years ago by an elite squad led by the Flame God.

It is said that in addition to the legendary mage, Flame God, the team also had two hidden mage classes that were no weaker than legendary classes. The three incredibly powerful mages cooperated with each other and managed to clear the dungeon in 20 minutes and 52 seconds.

This also reduced the highest historical record for the [Misty Forest] dungeon from 35 minutes to 20 minutes.

For thirty years after that, no team was able to break that record.

Today, Ye Chen has finally broken the historical record for the highest difficulty of the [Misty Forest] dungeon.

Moreover, it wasn't just a simple breakthrough; it was shortened to within three minutes, becoming an insurmountable mountain.

Buzz—

Just as Ye Chen was feeling sentimental, the dungeon rewards arrived as promised.

A treasure chest radiating multicolored light appeared before Ye Chen's eyes.

[Misty Forest Dungeon Treasure Chest (SSS)]

[Description: This is a premium treasure chest obtainable only with an overall rating of SSS, and it can contain rare treasures up to SSS rank.]

As Ye Chen looked at the SSS-level dungeon treasure chest in front of him, some knowledge about dungeon treasure chests flashed through his mind.

In dungeons, killing monsters does not immediately drop equipment or treasures; only dungeon chests are awarded upon completion.

The higher the overall rating of clearing a dungeon, the higher the level of the dungeon treasure chest.

Furthermore, the upper limit of the overall evaluation varies depending on the difficulty of the dungeon.

For example, if you choose Normal difficulty, the maximum overall rating is B; if you choose Elite difficulty, the maximum overall rating is A...

Only by choosing the Abyss difficulty level can you possibly obtain an SSS-level dungeon chest.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen opened the dungeon treasure chest.
