103: No. 1 in the world

Chapter 103: Global Number One

At this moment, Nanasheng was stunned.

That Undead Mage had cleared three floors in just over half an hour!

He had now cleared the sixty-sixth floor!

She had originally intended to try the sixty-fifth floor, but now, she suddenly lost all motivation.

The gap was truly too wide!

The other party clearing three floors consecutively in a short time was a different concept from her barely clearing the sixty-fourth floor.

Moreover.

All four of Nanasheng’s equipment pieces were damaged, but the other party clearly hadn't even damaged his equipment!

It could even be said that he cleared them with ease.

Comparing them like this, even if Nanasheng fought with all her might and miraculously survived to clear the sixty-fifth floor, she would most likely have done so by the skin of her teeth.

It was impossible to reclaim the first-place ranking!

“President, should I go repair my equipment now?” the maid asked cautiously.

“No need,” Nanasheng shook her head.

Her expression seemed calm, but anyone could tell that her emotions were fluctuating wildly at this moment!

She didn't leave but waited in the Dungeon Hall like everyone else.

As for pushing floors, she had completely given up.

But she was unwilling and wanted to see just how arrogant that Undead Mage would become!

Thirteen minutes later.

The ranking refreshed, and the Undead Mage’s floor count became sixty-seven!

Nanasheng sighed in her heart; her last sliver of hope was completely shattered.

Another dozen minutes passed.

The Undead Mage’s floor count became sixty-eight!

After that, the time difference was almost negligible.

The Undead Mage’s floor count climbed steadily!

The sixty-ninth floor was cleared very quickly.

Then came the seventieth floor, which that Undead Mage cleared in twenty minutes!

The seventieth floor was a major milestone.

The difficulty of each subsequent floor would only increase!

But this still didn't seem to be close to that Undead Mage’s limit; he could actually clear the seventieth floor in twenty minutes!

At this moment, inside the various Dungeon Halls in Sakura, there was a complete silence.

The initial excitement and passion had long vanished without a trace.

Their Sakura’s top-ranked Onmyoji was being suppressed so thoroughly by that Undead Mage; it was like being rubbed into the ground!

There was simply no comparison!

“Now that I think about it, that Undead Mage clearing one floor in the morning and one in the evening before was just him playing around!”

“Yeah, he could have cleared them earlier, but he just wasn’t in a hurry.”

“Now that he’s taken first place, he’s directly pushing floors to stabilize his ranking.”

“Damn it, the gap is too huge!”

“I was so confident in Nanasheng, and this is the result?”

“Nanasheng was completely played by that Undead Mage; she couldn’t possibly have truly thought she was qualified to compare herself to that Undead Mage, could she?”

“Which country are you from, you traitor?”

...

Amidst the boisterous atmosphere, Nanasheng’s unwillingness, paradoxically, dissipated by more than half.

It was replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.

Before her, that Undead Mage was like an insurmountable mountain!

There was no possibility of surpassing him!

But on the other side.

Inside Dragon Xia’s various Dungeon Halls, it was a scene of bustling excitement!

“Seventieth floor, first place, holy crap, that’s amazing!”

“No one will be able to surpass him for at least a year, right?”

“Undead Mage boss is mighty! Who knows this Undead Mage? I want an autograph!”

“Haha, feeling good, so refreshing!”

“Dragon Xia is Global Number One!”

...

As for Lu Ran, after clearing the seventieth floor, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He muttered, “The seventieth floor was a lot harder, but thankfully I can still beat it.”

He wasn't worried either.

Anyway, he had the charging Blood Spear for a finisher, and he also had the Yin-Yang Realm to ensure he wouldn’t die.

With virtually infinite Ancient Golems, Lu Ran had no possibility of losing health.

So, he planned to continue.

But just then.

Liu Xinxin sent a message: “Don’t fight anymore, come out.”

Lu Ran was about to continue when he suddenly saw the message and immediately exited the Endless Tower without hesitation.

Liu Xinxin had been waiting anxiously outside.

Seeing Lu Ran emerge, she hurriedly said, “Something’s wrong; I sent messages to your Sister Hong and Lei Tai twenty minutes ago, and they haven’t replied.”

Lu Ran’s heart tightened.

He hastily asked, “Are they offline?”

If they were offline, there was a possibility of death.

After all, Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai didn't have the habit or need to hide their communicators.

“No, they aren’t, but it’s very strange. Considering your Sister Hong’s strange behavior earlier, I think something might have happened. Let’s go check,” Liu Xinxin said thoughtfully.

“Okay,” Lu Ran agreed without hesitation.

He looked back at the Endless Tower Global Ranking panel.

Seventieth floor, firmly in first place.

Nanasheng, in second place, was still on the sixty-fourth floor.

“No need to look. That Nanasheng won’t continue unless she’s looking for death. Her Shikigami are still powerful enough to be pushed to such an extent by you, but it’s a bit of a pity they weren’t killed,” Liu Xinxin said regretfully.

And Lu Ran’s current ranking was something Nanasheng couldn't even dream of catching up to!

After speaking.

Liu Xinxin took out her staff.

Then, a emerald green light shimmered around her, enveloping both her and Lu Ran.

The next second.

Buzz~

A pair of green energy wings appeared on their backs, and Lu Ran immediately felt his body become much lighter.

“I can fly? How do I fly? How do I control this?” Lu Ran asked excitedly.

“You can’t fly,” Liu Xinxin said with a wry smile. “This is an Elves’ buff skill; it can greatly increase movement speed. Combined with your corrosion skill, it allows me to continuously extend the speed boost, so we can travel faster.”

Southern Border.

Wan Shi Forest!

This was a place where the Miao Village gathered materials for refining Gu.

Normally, it was quite peaceful here, but today, things were in chaos!

At this moment.

Ye Hongyi, Lei Tai, and Wei Yingying, along with more than ten others, stood together.

Lei Tai held his shields in front of him with both hands.

Five massive energy shields rotated around the group.

Strict defense!

And on a small hill not far away.

Over a hundred Professionals were watching them.

“What are you doing here!” Wei Yingying asked through gritted teeth, her eyes fixed on their surroundings.

“I was afraid you’d die, so of course I had to come see,” Ye Hongyi said without turning her head.

“Now it’s great, you’ll die here too,” Wei Yingying said with a grim expression.

“Stop talking; find a way to break through. I can’t hold on much longer!” Lei Tai said with a ashen face.

Those more than a hundred Professionals were currently focusing their fire.

Lei Tai had already used the Earth Knight’s Level 60 awakening skill!

But he still couldn't hold on for too long.

The enemy had too many people, and their levels were all quite high!

“It’s people from Eagleland. Damn it, how are they here?!” Wei Yingying said with a grim expression.

“This is a weak point in the National Guardian Army’s defense. Infiltrating Dragon Xia from here is a good idea; we just accidentally ran into them,” Ye Hongyi said in a deep voice.

Wei Yingying took a deep breath.

She said, “Let’s break through; break this barrier!”

But Ye Hongyi shook her head.

She said, “Even communicators are blocked; this isn’t an ordinary barrier, but an Exorcist’s awakening skill, the Fiend Barrier. We can’t break it in a short time. To break through, we must first kill that Exorcist!”

But that was easier said than done. With over a hundred people on the hilltop, how could they charge over to kill him?

Stuck in a dilemma!

Wei Yingying looked at the scattered roaming zombies around them, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

Holding the Gu pot in one hand, a crimson, smoke-like substance spread out from within.

“Thousand Day Red!” Ye Hongyi was startled: “Yingying, what are you doing?!”

Wei Yingying gritted her teeth and said, “I’m going to activate all the walking corpses in this Wan Shi Forest! If we’re going to die, they won’t leave alive either!”
