41: Let me try a new term

Chapter 41: Let Me Try New Entries

According to Liu Xinxin's explanation:

Lu Ran didn't necessarily need the Blood Spear to clear the Endless Tower, but she wanted to ensure that Lu Ran would absolutely dominate everyone on each floor with an overwhelming advantage, ranking first on that floor!

This was the best way to put pressure on Nanasheng.

Imagine an Undead Mage with hidden personal information, a conventional class who had never climbed the Endless Tower before.

Suddenly, he would clear one floor in the morning and another in the evening, like clockwork!

Moreover, no matter which floor, he wouldn't just barely pass, but would absolutely crush it with an overwhelming advantage, clearing it in the shortest time among everyone on that floor!

As Lu Ran's floor count gradually approached, it was imaginable that Nanasheng's pressure would increase exponentially!

It had to be said, when it came to psychological warfare, Liu Xinxin was second to none!

Lu Ran excitedly entered the 51st floor.

He glanced at it.

[Level 51 Holy Light Tiger (Fifty-first Floor)]

"Another Holy-type BOSS, these fifty-plus floors are really unfriendly to Undead Mages," Lu Ran muttered.

Then he stepped out of the safe zone.

With a casual wave of his staff,

the space was immediately torn apart.

The Holy Light Tiger, which had just sensed an intruder, merely looked at Lu Ran.

A Blood Spear magnified infinitely in its eyes.

Bang!

The Holy Light Tiger, with a staggering 2.5 million HP, had its health bar instantly emptied and fell to the ground.

[Congratulations on clearing Endless Tower Floor 51, you have gained 510,000 experience points.]

Seeing the stairs leading to the next floor, Floor 52, appear, Lu Ran pouted and chose not to continue, instead exiting the dungeon directly according to Liu Xinxin's plan.

But his ranking on the leaderboard had already reached twenty-fifth place!

The three top players who had originally cleared Floor 51, ranked by clear time, were instantly pushed down.

Above Lu Ran, the twenty-fourth place was Floor 52.

And this once again caused an uproar in the Global Dungeon Hall!

When Lu Ran came out, the hall was almost boiling.

"Did you see that? That Undead Mage big shot climbed another floor!"

"Holy cow, he's already on the fifty-first floor!"

"Is that big shot still pushing floors?"

"This is the pride of us Undead Mages!"

"Too arrogant! So conventional classes can also climb the Endless Tower rankings, I feel like I can do it too!"

...

On the other side, in Sakura.

Nanasheng's meeting was about to end.

Suddenly, someone came in to report that the Undead Mage had climbed another floor!

Nanasheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "The opponent is still pushing floors, but this speed is already very slow. They probably tried several times. What's the point of such a risk? An Undead Mage is still just a conventional class."

But how could she know?

The time in between was when Lu Ran and his team went to eat!

"By the way, how was that Undead Mage's clear time? What rank is he on Floor 51?" Nanasheng asked, as if remembering something.

"He is currently twenty-fifth. There are a total of four players who have cleared Floor 51 on the leaderboard. That Undead Mage ranks first among the four, and among the other three, two are our Sakura Onmyojis," the subordinate truthfully reported.

Nanasheng was stunned, looking at her subordinate in surprise.

This was something she hadn't expected; that Undead Mage's clear speed was so fast?

How did he do it?!

She couldn't figure it out no matter what!

"Forget it, ignore him. It's only Floor 51. Keep an eye on Eagle Country. Has there been any news about the black dragon equipment trade we initiated with them?" Nanasheng waved her hand and said.

She immediately put the Undead Mage out of her mind.

It was only Floor 51, a huge gap from her Floor 61, not enough to attract her attention.

"No reply yet. It seems they don't have a high willingness to trade with our Sakura. However, our spy in Eagle Country sent news that a high-ranking member of the Storm Guild once took people to apply for entry into China. The purpose is unknown, and the process is incomplete," the subordinate truthfully said.

"Understood, keep an eye on it," Nanasheng frowned.

She was willing to pay any price to get the black dragon equipment.

But Eagle Country's Storm Guild had been slow to respond to the trade request.

Yet, she hadn't expected them to have visited China!

Only the result and process were unknown.

"Meeting adjourned," Nanasheng felt inexplicably annoyed and waved her hand.

Everyone left one after another.

After they were all gone,

Nanasheng suddenly said to the maid following her, "Just keep a simple eye on the Endless Tower rankings and see if that Undead Mage is still pushing floors. Although there's no need to pay attention, it's a bit strange. That's not something a normal Undead Mage can do."

"Yes!" the maid nodded in agreement.

Inside the Dungeon Hall, Lu Ran and his team had already entered the Level 20 dungeon, the highest difficulty Flame Land!

"Level 20 dungeon Flame Land, one of the main monsters is the Elemental Fire Spirit, which has high resistance to fire skills but not very thick health."

"The second type of monster is the Magma Giant. Although it's called a giant, it's actually only about three meters tall. It also has fire resistance, and both its defense and health are very high."

"But Magma Giants are slow and have a low attack frequency, making them easy to kite. They are actually less troublesome than Elemental Fire Spirits."

"Because Elemental Fire Spirits will self-destruct 1.8 seconds after death, dealing damage to the surroundings, similar to your Corpse Explosion."

"There are a total of 500 Elemental Fire Spirits and Magma Giants."

"In addition, throughout the Flame Land, there are two large Elemental Fire Spirit Elites and two large Magma Giant Elites."

"Finally, there's the BOSS Flame Lord. The Flame Lord cannot move, but its attack range is very large, requiring close team cooperation and constant attention to teammates' health."

...

Liu Xinxin educated Lu Ran as usual.

However, this was the process for a normal Level 20 team.

Lu Ran's team, even though there were only four people, didn't need to be so slow!

"Then let's start," Lei Tai was eager to try.

But Lu Ran suddenly mused, "How about... let me try?"

Hmm?

Everyone looked at Lu Ran in confusion.

Ye Hongyi teased, "Little brother, are you bored waiting to leech experience? Well then, I'll leave a few Magma Giants for you, and you can play around exploding them with Skeleton Soldiers."

They thought Lu Ran was bored waiting for experience and wanted to try it himself.

But if Lu Ran soloed, even with an endless supply of Skeleton Soldier Corpse Explosions, he could clear it, but the speed would be too slow.

After all, this was a Level 20 highest Abyss difficulty!

But Lu Ran shook his head and said, "No, I just want to try out the new entries and new skills. I want to see how they are."

Upon hearing this, the others were stunned.

Lei Tai slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot this kid is already Level 23! Level 20 unlocks new skills and new entries!"

Ye Hongyi shrugged and said, "I can understand. My mind was just full of Lu Ran climbing the Endless Tower Global rankings. I almost forgot about the important stuff, didn't even remember it during dinner."

Liu Xinxin, meanwhile, said with a chuckle, "The Undead Mage's Level 20 skill is Bone Storm, an area-of-effect skill. As for the entry, I don't know what it is."

After speaking, the three looked at Lu Ran.

Liu Xinxin said, "Then you go ahead and try. Look, there are a dozen Elemental Fire Spirits and Magma Giants right ahead."

Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi watched expectantly.

They wanted to see what Lu Ran's new entry effect was.
