373: Was it me who destroyed it? Or was it the world that gave up on it?

Chapter 373: Did I Destroy It? Or Was It Abandoned by the World?

It was people from other countries who soon discovered something was amiss.

In the instance hall, the various existing rankings, especially the Global rankings, saw some of the Professional gradually disappear from the rankings.

And without exception, these Professional were all Sakura Professional!

Moreover, they were all high-combat Sakura Professional.

“Haven’t you noticed anything strange?”

“The Sakura Professional are disappearing one by one.”

“As everyone knows, disappearing from the leaderboard means only one thing: they’re dead.”

“Is someone hunting Sakura Professional on a large scale?”

“No, it’s not hunting them one by one, but hunting them in large batches!”

“It’s like all living beings are equal; all Sakura Professional are being killed!”

“Considering Lu Ran’s current insane leveling speed, does that mean…”

“It’s possible. Lu Ran’s hatred for Sakura is quite significant!”

“So, Lu Ran is currently hunting a large number of Sakura Professional?”

“This is to avenge Dragon Xia, to settle the accumulated hatred between Sakura and Dragon Xia!”

…

They could probably guess.

Of course, it wasn’t hard to guess.

On the various leaderboards, Sakura Professional were disappearing one by one, almost to the point of extinction from all rankings!

However,

What they didn’t know or understand was that Lu Ran wasn’t targeting specific Sakura Professional groups for hunting.

He was annihilating a nation!

Targeting the entire Sakura!

After today, Sakura would no longer exist in this world!

At this moment,

Lu Ran was still diligently casting summoning skills in Sakura, and he only summoned Skeleton Tyrant.

Lu Ran was too lazy to use other summoning skills because they were essentially useless.

At the same time,

A commotion suddenly erupted behind him.

Lu Ran turned his head to look.

The main city’s protective shield behind him could no longer withstand the Undead Army’s invasion and finally shattered completely!

And the Professional inside were still frantically begging for mercy.

“It’s over, it’s over, the shield is gone!”

“Damn it, it’s all your fault! Why did you curse Lu Ran for no reason?!”

“Lu Ran, I know I was wrong, we all know we were wrong.”

“Please don’t kill me…”

…

Various pleas for mercy filled the air.

Lu Ran heard them, but his expression remained unchanged.

How could the new and old grievances between Sakura and Dragon Xia, accumulated over so many years, be resolved by a few words of mercy from them?

Of course, Lu Ran couldn’t let them go or spare them.

In fact,

Watching them beg for mercy, Lu Ran felt quite comfortable inside.

This was exactly the effect he wanted!

However, the pleas for mercy didn’t last very long.

After the protective shield was broken, a massive number of Undead creatures, like a tsunami, engulfed the entire main city!

This was not some hell difficulty, a struggle for survival.

When countless Undead creatures slammed into their faces as if they were free, any resistance was futile!

They could only wait for death!

Almost instantly, the Professional’s traces could no longer be seen.

Only a massive number of Undead creatures engulfing the entire main city could be seen!

Lu Ran pursed his lips, ignored it, turned around, and continued to summon Skeleton Tyrant.

At the same time, he stared at his experience bar.

“The leveling speed is getting slower and slower. I cleared a batch of monsters from all over Sakura, and I only reached Level 69? Damn it, that’s too ridiculous!” Lu Ran couldn’t help but complain.

One must know,

This was Lu Ran’s effect after a hundredfold experience boost!

Although field monsters gave much less experience, and low-Level monsters accounted for the vast majority, many low-Level monsters even gave no experience due to the huge Level gap with Lu Ran.

But it shouldn’t be only Level 69, right?

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be incredibly difficult for ordinary Professional to Level up?” Lu Ran mused, analyzing.

Saying this, it really did sound a bit like talking without understanding the pain.

Let alone how difficult it was to Level up to Level 69, and how terrifying the experience required was.

Just the experience required to Level up to Level 60 was already a terrifying astronomical figure!

One must know,

Lu Ran’s one-month novice period was like riding a rocket!

And Liu Xinxin and the others, who had been clearing instances with Lu Ran for a month, hadn’t Leveled up at all!

Not even one Level!

Yu Qingcang, holding the top spot on the Global Leveling leaderboard, hadn’t changed for a long time either.

The difficulty of leveling was immense!

According to Yu Qingcang’s estimation, he would need at least half a year to Level up again!

And the further he went, the more terrifying the experience required for leveling would become!

It wasn’t as simple as just multiplying by a few times!

Therefore,

Lu Ran’s leveling speed caused Global shock!

Such a huge gap could never be bridged by anyone in this lifetime.

In fact,

The subsequent world data update, with new Levels and instances, seemed to be tailor-made for Lu Ran!

It wasn’t that it was time for the data update.

It was because someone had touched the pinnacle of the current world data!

“Phew…”

Lu Ran exhaled.

Looking at the significantly slower leveling speed, he was still gaining a good amount of experience.

“That can only mean that the experience required to Level up now is a terrifying number, but thankfully, at this rate, clearing Sakura will definitely unlock new attributes and skills.” Lu Ran muttered.

Thinking of this,

He no longer procrastinated.

Nor did he have the mind to mock the Sakura Professional back and forth.

Today’s goal was simple: to uproot Sakura, this filthy little speck of land!

Then,

With a thought,

Lu Ran’s figure disappeared from his original spot using a displacement skill.

To ensure even distribution, Lu Ran used his displacement skill to dart around all over Sakura!

Wherever he went, Skeleton Tyrant were scattered everywhere!

This was much more evenly distributed than Lu Ran standing still and scattering them.

It was also much more comfortable.

Occasionally, he would encounter a main city struggling to hold on with a protective shield, and Lu Ran would have to stop.

He would throw more Skeleton Tyrant while enjoying their despair and cries for mercy before their deaths.

As time passed,

Within the entire Sakura, Undead creatures covered the sky and earth!

As soon as these Undead creatures appeared, they frantically gathered towards the surrounding main cities.

One main city after another was breached.

One Professional after another was engulfed by Undead creatures and died.

Whether they were offensive Professional, defensive Professional, healing Professional, or even support Professional and life Professional,

They were all treated equally; all would die!

Meanwhile, Lu Ran flew in the air.

Looking down at Sakura, he suddenly had a strange thought.

“Dragon Xia is very large, with many undeveloped areas that are high-Level areas, but Sakura doesn’t seem to have any?” Lu Ran muttered.

Looking at it this way, it seemed to be true?

“Does that mean that in the subsequent planning of the world data, Sakura was already a map that had reached its limit? Its destruction was only a matter of time; it wasn’t that I destroyed Sakura, but that the world data originally intended to abandon this place?” Lu Ran mused, muttering.
