ACSP: Chapter 58: Leveling up five times, the first S-rank Ninjutsu!
Over the next few days, Jiang Chen and Zhang Xiaolin were immersed in the Hell-level Land of Waves Secret Realm.
Except for the few hours of fixed rest, they almost never left that Secret Realm space.
However, the effort and the rewards were equal.
Although grinding the Secret Realm these past few days was very boring, their gains were huge.
Especially for Jiang Chen.
Because Zhang Xiaolin and the others felt he contributed the most in the Secret Realm, they gave all the chests obtained after clearing it to him.
Although this Secret Realm only gave a Gold Treasure Chest upon the first clear, the rewards from the Silver Treasure Chests were not bad either.
If one rolled EXP, a Silver Treasure Chest could randomly provide 10,000 to 50,000 points.
And since Jiang Chen possessed the Protagonist's Luck, the EXP he obtained was almost always between 40,000 and 50,000.
Speaking of opening Secret Realm chests, Jiang Chen learned through Zhang Xiaolin that every Contractor had a limit on the number of Secret Realm chests they could open.
During the beginner stage, which was before level 21, everyone could only open 3 Secret Realm chests per day.
After leaving the beginner stage, everyone could open a corresponding number of Secret Realm chests based on their Talent Level.
Talent Level = number of chests opened per day. The quality of the chests was not restricted.
And as a Contractor with a level 20 Talent, he could open 20 Secret Realm chests per day!
Regarding this, in order to obtain more Secret Realm chests, Jiang Chen used a few small tricks when clearing the Secret Realm.
Because every time the Secret Realm clear time record was refreshed, all team members could obtain an additional Silver Treasure Chest.
So, every time he cleared it, he would calculate the time in advance.
This ensured that he could refresh his previous clear record every time, getting 5 Silver Treasure Chests for free.
Therefore, over these past few days, although he had to open 20 Silver Treasure Chests every day, because he could get 5 Silver Treasure Chests for free every time he entered the Secret Realm, he not only didn't fall behind on his chest opening quota but even had a surplus of Silver Treasure Chests.
...
On this day, as usual, Jiang Chen led Zhang Xiaolin and the other four out of the Land of Waves Secret Realm.
As the record on the stone tablet outside the Secret Realm refreshed again, the crowd gathered near the entrance immediately gasped in unison.
"Look, the Hell-level Secret Realm record has been refreshed again. This time it seems to be 3 seconds faster than the last time!"
"Damn, every time the record is refreshed, it's 3 to 5 seconds faster. I seriously suspect that Zhang Xiaolin's team is controlling the Secret Realm clear time."
"Theoretically speaking, as long as you can calculate the clear time well, it is possible to refresh the record every time, but ordinary people cannot do such a thing."
"Clearing the Hell-level Secret Realm is not scary; what's scary is that they can even control the clear time at will!"
"Damn, does this count as finding a BUG to grind Secret Realm rewards?"
"Envious? I'm also very envious, but what can you do about it? If you had the strength of their team, you could also grind the Secret Realm like this, but do you have it?"
"Stop talking, let me calm down for a few minutes..."
Listening to the discussions in his ears, Jiang Chen's state of mind did not fluctuate at all.
Because he had heard such voices almost every day for the past few days.
Open Character Attributes.

After several days of hard work, Jiang Chen's character level had successfully reached level 27.
Although it was only an increase of five levels.
But the number of new skills unlocked in the skill list was quite significant.
The skills of the Uzumaki Naruto template have now been unlocked up to the level of Wind Release: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
This was the first S-rank Ninjutsu skill he had unlocked, and its power went without saying.
As for the two extra summoned beast cubs, they could be ignored.
The Uchiha Sasuke template unlocked quite a few skills this time.
First were those Fire Release Ninjutsu that Sasuke Uchiha knew, which have now all been unlocked.
Then there was State Two of the Cursed Seal of Heaven.
In addition, two of Uchiha Sasuke's summoned beasts were also unlocked.
One is Orochimaru's good buddy, Manda.
The other is Garuda, which is that giant eagle.
And then there were those snake techniques that Orochimaru had taught Sasuke Uchiha!
Although these snake techniques weren't very powerful.
But one of them, a Body Replacement Technique, could be called an undying divine skill.
Even if the body is smashed to pieces.
As long as there is still Chakra in the body, one can split off another body and gain a new life.
The reason Orochimaru is like a cockroach that can't be killed.
Is because of this Body Replacement Technique!
The only drawback of this technique is that it's truly a bit disgusting to use.
"If I keep unlocking at this rate, I estimate that I'll be able to unlock the Mangekyō Sharingan by level 30..."
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with his current leveling speed.
It's just that the completion time for this Land of Waves dungeon has already been pushed to the limit by him.
It might be difficult to improve it further.
So he didn't plan to continue grinding this dungeon for now.
A dungeon where you can't get free chests is not a good dungeon.
Therefore, he prepared to switch to another dungeon to grind.
Anyway, the City Lord's Mansion recently incorporated the resources of other factions within Jinghai City.
Those family factions also had intermediate dungeons under their names.
Moreover, no one had cleared the Hell difficulty of those intermediate dungeons yet.
If he led a team to grind them.
He could also get a first-clear reward.
That would be five gold chests!
Jiang Chen prepared to talk to Zhang Xiaolin about switching dungeons.
However, the moment he turned around.
An extremely bloodthirsty Chakra aura suddenly erupted from Zhang Xiaolin's body.
That was... the aura of a Tailed Beast!
