163: Your own failure is terrible, but your friend's success is even more heartbreaking! !

【Qing School District Ranking】

First Place: Jiang Ziqing, 21000(×2.3)

...

...

Seventy-Fifth Place: Bai Shan, 14000(×1.4)

Seventy-Sixth Place: Ye Ze, 13500(×1.4)

...

"Captain, Ye Ze has started challenging the Trial Tower, and has already cleared the fourth floor, rising to seventy-sixth place."

Inside the Copy Tower, Mu Bai, who had been watching the changes in the Qing School District Ranking, spoke up.

"I remember the Heretic Knight Captain on the fifth floor was quite strong. The main reason is that he has a skill - 【Invincible Charge】. He is immune to control skills while charging, and can use it without limit, which is very buggy.

It took me half an hour to blast him off the stage."

After speaking, Mu Bai looked at Wu Chen beside him.

Wu Chen raised his head, "28 minutes and 43 seconds."

"Then you also took half an hour," Mu Bai nodded and replied.

"What half an hour? A minute's difference is a difference, a second's difference is a difference," Wu Chen glared.

Mu Bai ignored him and looked at Jiang Ziqing, "Captain, what about you?"

"10 moves, killed."

Jiang Ziqing said calmly.

"Captain is still amazing."

Mu Bai praised Jiang Ziqing, then his gaze fell on the ranking interface before him, "I wonder how long it will take Ye Ze to clear the fifth floor. I estimate it won't take too long."

The moment his voice fell,

the interface before them flashed with light.

The next moment—

The name in seventy-sixth place became Bai Shan.

Mu Bai was stunned, then quickly looked up.

Fifty-First Place: Ye Ze, 14500(×1.5).

The ranking coefficient reached 1.5, indicating that Ye Ze had cleared the fifth floor and also received a 1000 point reward.

"I knew it, the fifth floor wouldn't hold him up for long," Mu Bai said with an expression that indicated it was exactly as he expected.

"I just don't know if he can break through the tenth floor today."

Every five floors in the Trial Tower is a hurdle.

Of course, with Ye Ze's strength, clearing the tenth floor is only a matter of time.

But challenging the tower consumes Spirit power and physical strength,

and as the floors increase, the difficulty keeps increasing. The further one goes, the more energy and time are required.

Ye Ze has the strength to clear the tenth floor of the Trial Tower, but he may not be able to clear ten floors in one go.

"With his strength, clearing the tenth floor won't be very difficult. After the tenth floor, there will be some obstacles," Jiang Ziqing slowly said.

"Mm," Mu Bai nodded.

In the following time, they kept paying attention to the ranking changes.

Half an hour later, Ye Ze's ranking coefficient reached 1.6, and his rank rose by seven places.

Thirty-three minutes later, the ranking coefficient reached 1.7, and his rank rose by five places.

Although the difficulty of clearing gradually increased with the number of floors,

due to the differences in the clearing conditions and trial content of each floor, Ye Ze's clearing time for some higher floors was actually shorter than for lower floors.

For example, when clearing the eighth floor, he only took less than 4 minutes.

【Qing School District Ranking】

First Place: Jiang Ziqing, 21000(×2.3)

...

Twenty-Second Place: Cai Dudong, 15600(×1.7)

Twenty-Third Place: Ye Ze, 14500(×1.8)

...

...

"Twenty-third already. His top ten this month should be stable."

Mu Bai clicked his tongue in admiration, "Top ten in the Qing School District... He's only been at the Magic Martial Arts Academy for just one week, right?"

"Let me remind you, he enrolled early," Xu Siya reminded.

Wu Chen's expression was complicated, and he couldn't help but murmur, "What a monster."

At the same time, other Freshmen in the Qing Campus also noticed Ye Ze's name.

In just a few hours, he had rushed all the way from the bottom hundred to twenty-third.

Such astonishing performance attracted the attention of a large number of Freshmen.

Building 6 Dormitory, Room 401, Double Room Dormitory.

"Tsk tsk, I don't know where this Ye Ze came from, reaching twenty-third so quickly.

Liu, aren't you afraid he'll directly rush into the top ten and take your reward?"

A student wearing a mage robe looked at his roommate sitting cross-legged on the opposite bed and said with a hint of schadenfreude.

【Qing School District Ranking】

Tenth Place: Liu Yunfei, 15500(×1.9)

...

The two students living in Dormitory 401 were both in the top twenty of the Qing School District Ranking.

One was Liu Yunfei, ranked tenth in the Qing School District, and the other was Xiao Nan, ranked sixteenth.

This month, the reward for the top ten in the Qing School District Ranking was 1 day of usage time in the Beginner Skill Practice Room plus 3000 points, as well as a free portion of Spirit food daily.

The reward for the top twenty was 5000 academy points.

The rewards were completely on different levels.

Facing Ye Ze's aggressive momentum, Xiao Nan's first reaction was schadenfreude.

Anyway, he was sixteenth. If Ye Ze rushed into the top ten, he would only drop one place at most.

And Liu Yunfei would miss out on the top ten reward.

Liu Yunfei, wearing black training clothes, didn't even open his eyes and said calmly, "You know as well as I do that every five floors in the Trial Tower is a hurdle, and the tenth floor isn't that easy to clear."

"That's true."

Xiao Nan nodded.

"The ninth floor is quite difficult. Dozens of Thorn Treants jointly release the Thorn Binding skill. I'll never forget the days of being tied up like a zongzi," Xiao Nan said with lingering fear.

In the following period, Ye Ze's ranking did not change again, remaining at twenty-third place.

"What a shame, I was hoping he could kick you down."

Xiao Nan muttered to himself with some disappointment.

"Damn it, how did you manage to get into the top ten?"

One's own failure is indeed terrible, but a friend's success is even more heart-wrenching...

...

【Notification: Trial Tower Fifth Floor clearing condition met: Kill the Heretic Knight Captain.】

【Notification: Successfully cleared Trial Tower Fifth Floor, obtained reward 1000 points, Beginner Skill Practice Room usage time ×24h!】

【Notification: ...】

【...】

【Notification: Trial Tower Eighth Floor clearing condition met: Kill the Skeleton Castle Lord, Skeleton King.】

Gurgle—Gurgle—

The Skeleton King's head rolled onto the spacious city path, making a series of crisp sounds.

The swirling entrance leading to the ninth floor appeared before him.

But at this moment, Ye Ze'sAlien Force (Yi Li - Exotic Power) was completely depleted, and he felt a wave of fatigue both mentally and physically.

Depleted Alien Force (Yi Li - Exotic Power) could be restored by taking Alien Force (Yi Li - Exotic Power) recovery potions, but restoring Spirit power quickly came at a bit of a high cost.

"Practicing skills still consumes too much Spirit power. I won't practice tomorrow. After clearing the Buried Bone Graveyard Corpse Fiend Dungeon, I'll come straight here to challenge the tower."

Ye Ze ultimately chose not to continue challenging the tower, and it was also getting late, already 10:12 PM.

Leaving the Trial Tower, Ye Ze returned to the dormitory.

Before entering meditation, Ye Ze went to the Dimensional Space and planted the Thorn Seed and Redwood Spirit Seed in the soil.

Having absorbed the earth-attribute core of a leader-level monster, the soil in the Dimensional Space appeared black, containing rich spiritual energy, making it very suitable for planting spiritual plants.

In addition, the cracks on the fire-attribute battle pet eggshell were increasing, and it would likely hatch soon...
