Although he obtained some secrets about the battle in the Holy Land, the Chairman's statement was mostly speculation, so naturally Ling Chen would not believe it all.

For now, we do need to be mentally prepared, but we cannot put all our energy into this aspect.

Ling Chen's level was still a little low and he couldn't access the core secrets of the Purgatory game, so he put the related matters aside for the time being.

Also, the chairman's friendly attitude is largely due to his appreciation of Ling Chen's potential, and he can foresee that this will not be indefinite.

If Ling Chen is unable to be promoted to a Breaker, then the Chairman will naturally not waste time investing in a guy who has lost value.

So recently, he has spent most of his energy on getting familiar with and mastering the handle of the Demonic Sword from Hell.

There is a ruby ​​inlaid on the top of the handle. I don't know if it was because of the fierce collision with Ling Chen, but there are several conspicuous cracks on the ruby.

After two weeks of training and exploration, Ling Chen basically mastered the use of the knife handle.

He was not the original owner, so naturally he could not use the handle of the knife as his arm commanded. In fact, when he held the handle of the knife, the only thing he could do was to release flames.

As for condensing it into a blade, it is not an easy task. Fortunately, after Ling Chen absorbed the "Heart of the Blood Prince", he gained not only self-healing power, but also control of flames.

Because of this, he can reluctantly compress the flames by his own will and turn it into a flaming blade.

However, perhaps because of the cracks in the ruby, Ling Chen could clearly feel that the length of the flame sword he had condensed was far inferior to the Hell Demon Sword in terms of temperature and sharpness.

Of course, Ling Chen guessed that if he were more skilled, he might be able to further compress the flames, thereby increasing the lethality of the long sword.

What's more, you can also try something like the Hell Demon Sword, which absorbs flames into your own body and temporarily adds explosive and terrifying power to your body.

If this can be achieved, Ling Chen thinks that he can try to reach the realm of the deviant.

But for now, all Ling Chen can do is condense a flame blade, which can only be regarded as achieving the initial goal. It will take more time and energy in the future.

Now that he has this hilt, he also adds an option to his method of fighting enemies, which is an extra layer of protection.

Because the use of the hilt does not consume soul fire and power points, but is replenished by the hilt itself.

If the ruby ​​embedded in it becomes transparent, it means that the power within it has been exhausted and it is temporarily unable to emit flames.

Ling Chen has tested that the flame blade can last for ten minutes before the ruby ​​becomes transparent, and it takes about an hour to return to red.

You must know that the hilt is the enchanted object of the Hell Demon Sword after all. Even if it is partially damaged, its quality is by no means comparable to that of ordinary enchanted objects.

This not only means obtaining a powerful item, but also helps Ling Chen save part of the consumption of soul fire in certain situations.

………

The next dungeon was a competition for qualifications, and Ling Chen could only enter alone, which undoubtedly disrupted his previous plan.

Not to mention Pandora, who finally showed her willingness to form a team, Dean, another acquaintance of Ling Chen, has now become a member of the Spider Web Guild.

I originally thought about teaming up with Dean to enter the dungeon world and develop a good rapport first, but now I have no choice.

Through the exchanges during this period, Ling Chen, Dean, and Pandora had more contacts. Later, they simply decided that Pandora and Dean would try to form a team first and enter the next dungeon world together.

If nothing unexpected happens, Pandora and Dean will probably be Ling Chen's regular teammates in the future, so there is nothing wrong with letting them try to cooperate first.

After making the decision, Pandora and Dean stopped contacting Ling Chen and did not disturb him, allowing him to slowly adjust to his condition alone.

He began to exercise his abilities and consciously thought about whether there was anything that could be improved in the four secrets. If he wanted to enter the Holy Land, his current strength was far from enough.

He needs to improve and be promoted to a Breaker as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he has not yet gained insights from the hilt and does not know how to enter the next stage.

It is worth mentioning that regarding the upcoming qualification battle, the organizers did not provide a specific time, only an approximate date.

Ling Chen only knew that it would start in a certain week, but he had no idea as to which day it would be. So he didn't train too hard, in case he would drag his exhausted body into the dungeon.

And just as Ling Chen expected, the opening time of the dungeon this time was an unusual time period.

One night, Ling Chen sat on the balcony and stared at the stars for a while. When he felt a little tired, he tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes on the recliner.

It's time to sleep.

Bang!

It seemed that he had just closed his eyes and had just entered the sleep state, when suddenly the world suddenly spun around and Ling Chen fell face down.

Fortunately, at his current level, his instinctive reaction was still there whether he was eating or sleeping. He quickly clapped his hands to remove the downward impact, then somersaulted his whole body and stood up straight.

"The time to enter the dungeon world is late at night when ordinary people are least vigilant, and no warning is given in advance."

Ling Chen pursed his lips. From all these signs, it can be seen that this copy world has been unique from the beginning.

Here, it was late at night just like in reality, but the surrounding environment was no longer a hotel room, but a virgin forest.

The towering trees, the hot and humid air, and the crawling snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the surrounding soil from time to time. In short, the whole environment gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

There was no mission prompt, no road signs or instructions, Ling Chen just stood here alone.

Ling Chen raised his head and looked above his head. There was no bright moon or stars. The entire sky seemed to be covered with a layer of black cloth.

Then he lowered his head and looked at himself. At this time, he was still wearing a nightgown and his feet were bare. It was uncomfortable to step on the soil.

Fortunately, this problem was not difficult to solve. Ling Chen took off his nightgown and saw threads appearing out of thin air. They were quickly woven into a black suit and put on a pair of leather shoes.

Ling Chen noticed that in the pocket of his nightgown, there was a black mobile phone that looked like a smartphone. He tried clicking on the screen a few times, but nothing happened.

So far, the only thing he has that can be related to the dungeon mission is this mobile phone. Unfortunately, its use is not yet clear.

It is worth mentioning that Ling Chen also checked his body at this time and found that the hilt of the self-prison demon knife was not brought in by him.

Due to the nature of the hilt, it cannot be placed on a blank page. If you want to bring it into the dungeon world, keep it close to your body so that it can be transported together.

In fact, during this week, Ling Chen carried the handle of the knife close to his body every day. Even when he slept, he would put it in his nightgown.
Chapter completed!
