Second tier is the strongest!

*Rustle, rustle!!*

The moment Chen Ming entered the Tower of Delusion, the statue holding a longsword in front of him began to shake violently.

Before long, it transformed into a young man holding a longsword.

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes, staring solemnly at the young man before him.

Sword Extreme Sect!

The strongest player of the Second Rank.

Not only did he possess the powerful unique hidden class [Sword Sect], but his awakened talent was also the God-grade [Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Ancestor].

[Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Ancestor]

[Description: The Sword is Supreme!!]

...Without a doubt, with the dual support of the God-grade talent [Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Ancestor] and the unique hidden class [Sword Sect],

Sword Extreme Sect's combat power was as terrifying as a monster's.

As soon as he entered Eternal, he displayed heaven-defying strength; players of the same rank were simply no match for him.

At that time, he was even known as the strongest Sword Dao player.

Countless guild factions, empires, and divine courts had extended olive branches to him, wanting to recruit him.

After all, with the strength he displayed, as long as he grew normally, he would surely become a god in the future, or even surpass the gods to become a Forbidden Powerhouse.

Unfortunately, heaven was jealous of heroic talent.

Sword Extreme Sect was too aggressive as a person and, for some reason, offended the Divine Dragon Empire.

In the end, he was directly killed with overwhelming force by a Ninth Rank powerhouse from the Divine Dragon Empire.

"Kill!"

At that moment, Sword Extreme Sect on the opposite side let out a cold shout and, holding his longsword, suddenly charged toward Chen Ming.

Terrifying Sword Intent raged, with sword light crisscrossing as if it had physical form.

It had to be said that Sword Extreme Sect truly lived up to being the strongest player of the Second Rank.

The combat power he displayed was extremely frightening.

If it were an ordinary player, they probably wouldn't even be able to block a single strike of his.

Unfortunately, he was currently facing Chen Ming.

Although Chen Ming's level was suppressed to the same level as Sword Extreme Sect under the restrictions of the Tower of Delusion,

his skills and buff bonuses were not affected at all.

"Let's end this!"

Facing the menacing Sword Extreme Sect, Chen Ming murmured to himself, drawing the bow [Other Shore] into a full moon.

The moment Sword Extreme Sect drew near... *Swish, swish!!*

A series of intense whistling sounds rang out.

Arrows filled the sky, shooting out like a torrential rain.

Before Sword Extreme Sect could even react, he was shot full of holes.

-3.774 million (Poison Damage).

-3,000 points. (true damage).

-15,000 points. (true damage).

-25,860 points... Dense damage numbers floated up from above Sword Extreme Sect's head.

As the former strongest player of the Second Rank, although Sword Extreme Sect's combat power was amazing and his damage was explosive,

his tankiness wasn't that strong, and his health bar was only just over a million.

Facing Chen Ming's terrifyingly abnormal output, his health bar was emptied instantly, and his body turned into a streak of light, disappearing from the spot.

The corresponding statue also shattered abruptly.

Immediately after, a brand-new statue slowly condensed on the first floor of the Tower of Delusion.

Holding a blood-colored longbow, with a tall and slender build, carrying an elemental quiver: peerless and a Hunter's Quiver on his back.

This statue was none other than Chen Ming.

According to the rules of the Tower of Delusion, as long as one defeated the guardian, a statue would automatically be generated to become the guardian of the corresponding floor.

[Ding-dong! You have successfully defeated player [Sword Extreme Sect] and cleared the first floor of the Tower of Delusion. Reward obtained: Strongest of the Second Rank (Title. Mythic-grade), 1,000 Free Attribute Points.]

[Ding-dong! You have successfully defeated the strongest Second Rank player [Sword Extreme Sect]. You will become the guardian of the new floor of the Tower of Delusion. As a reward, you will receive 5 Free Attribute Points every day.]

Note: If someone defeats your corresponding statue, this reward will disappear.]

[Ding-dong! Your achievement will be announced globally. Would you like to remain anonymous?]

[Yes/No!]

"No!"

Chen Ming made his choice decisively.

Hiding his head and showing his tail had never been his style. Besides, his guardian statue had already been generated on the first floor of the Tower of Delusion; even if he remained anonymous, others would find out soon enough.

After making his choice, Chen Ming looked down at the rewards.

The 1,000 Free Attribute Points went without saying; he distributed them evenly among all attributes.

After finishing this, Chen Ming looked at the rewarded title.

[Strongest of the Second Rank]

[Quality: Mythic-grade.]

[Level: None.]

[Durability: ∞/∞.]

[Strength: +30.]

[Agility: +30.]

[Intelligence: +30.]

[Stamina: +30.]

[Spirit: +30.]

[Effect 1: 100% Enhancement Success (Active Skill): After activation, your next weapon or equipment enhancement is guaranteed to succeed 100%.]

Note: This skill can only be used three times.]

[Effect 2: Extra Experience +5%, Drop Rate +3%.]

[Description: Who claims to be invincible, who speaks of being undefeated? I am... the strongest!]

..."What kind of... insane effect is this!"

Chen Ming stared, dumbfounded.

As a Mythic-grade title, the attribute bonuses provided by [Strongest of the Second Rank] might be quite average, perhaps not even comparable to the Epic-grade [King of the Duel Arena].

But the special effect it added was simply too insane.

The next weapon or equipment enhancement would be 100% successful.

One must know that the later the stage, the more difficult it became to enhance weapons and equipment.

Especially after +12 enhancement, the success rate for each enhancement was less than 1%, or even lower.

By then, the resources and gold coins needed to push for high enhancements would be astronomical.

In his previous life, there was even a god who spent tens of trillions of gold coins just to upgrade the weapon in his hand from +20 to +21.

And in the end, it still failed.

With the bonus from the [Strongest of the Second Rank] title, this meant Chen Ming could steadily push for high enhancements.

The only drawback was that this effect could only be used three times.

However, that was enough.

Saving these three enhancements for the late game would definitely be heaven-defying.

"Besides, I also have a talent that can enhance enchantments."

Chen Ming took a deep breath and decisively activated his Forbidden Talent to perform an enhancement enchantment on the [Strongest of the Second Rank] title...
