54: At all costs!

Chapter 54: At All Costs!

Endless Tower, Fifty-seventh Floor!

Here, the dome was higher, the area larger, and the monsters' sizes seemed to have increased exponentially.

Looking out from the windows of the surrounding tower.

One could see dark clouds gathering all around, with thunderclouds rolling.

Lu Ran looked up.

In the distance, standing there, was the boss of the Fifty-seventh Floor.

[Level 57 Sacred Fire Brute Ox (Fifty-seventh Floor)]

It was still a Holy-type monster.

Its enormous body was like a small mountain, covered in golden fur that seemed to rise and twist like flames.

Its four feet were like four pillars reaching the sky, planted on the ground.

But Lu Ran had long been accustomed to it.

The moment he stepped out of the safe zone, his staff appeared in his hand.

Then, space tore, and the Blood Spear, charged all night, shot out.

Whoosh!

Bang!

In a flash, it hit the Brute Ox.

The poor Brute Ox never dreamed that it, as the boss of the Fifty-seventh Floor of the Endless Tower, would be so fragile.

It had just triggered aggro because Lu Ran stepped out of the safe zone, but before it could even turn its head and get a clear look, its health bar was emptied!

[Congratulations! You have cleared Endless Tower Floor 57, gaining 570,000 experience points.]

With the experience in hand, Lu Ran glanced at the ascending stairs to the next floor but ignored them, decisively exiting the Endless Tower.

At the same time.

Inside the Sakura Dungeon Hall.

Nanasheng's pupils suddenly constricted as she stared at the Global ranking panel of the Endless Tower, her body trembling uncontrollably.

The time was 8:37!

It was exactly like yesterday, with only a few minutes' difference!

This was enough to confirm her suspicion.

That Undead Mage was not adventurously rushing floors at all, but rather following a schedule, taking down one floor each morning and evening.

And it was highly likely that he cleared it in one go, without a second attempt!

Although Nanasheng could also clear the Fifty-seventh Floor in one go now.

She couldn't guarantee that she would use the shortest time on the Fifty-seventh Floor!

But this Undead Mage, whom she had previously ignored, had done it!

Now, that Undead Mage's ranking.

Global Fifth!

The maid beside her also looked extremely displeased.

She subconsciously said, “President, the opponent has risen to fifth place, but there’s still a gap between him and you. He’s just an Undead Mage, so he probably won’t continue, right?”

Nanasheng glanced at the maid.

She said faintly, “If he were truly an ordinary Undead Mage, do you think he could clear the Fifty-seventh Floor in the shortest time? And he’s not even Level 53!”

The maid immediately dared not make a sound.

Nanasheng also knew the maid was trying to comfort her, but comfort had no effect.

Nanasheng’s heart was twitching slightly at this moment.

This invisible pressure was gradually increasing, like a pair of sharp claws tearing open her chest and squeezing her heart inside!

She even wanted to try the Sixty-second Floor regardless of the consequences.

But in the end, she still shook her head.

She said, “Keep an eye on him.”

After speaking, she turned and walked back. As for the Deathmatch Arena challenge from Eagle-chan to Dragon Xia, she was not interested.

On the contrary, Lu Ran was very concerned. After coming out of the Endless Tower, he looked at the Deathmatch Arena room that was still hanging there but no one dared to enter and fight, as well as the extremely insulting room name.

Lu Ran gritted his teeth tightly.

“Lu Ran, let’s go, let’s clear some dungeons,” Liu Xinxin patted Lu Ran’s shoulder and said softly.

In the Dungeon Hall.

Countless people were still staring at the Deathmatch Arena room at this moment. Under such humiliation, the most tragic thing was that no one dared to accept the challenge.

At the same time.

Lu Ran’s ranking change on the Fifty-seventh Floor of the Endless Tower naturally caught the attention of most people.

“As I expected, that Undead Mage big shot is still pushing floors.”

“It really is one floor around 8 AM and another around 6 PM.”

“How did the Undead Mage do it? That big shot isn’t on the Level ranking; he’s not even Level 53!”

“What’s the use of that? So strong, but if you’re so capable, go challenge the Deathmatch Arena! What are you showing off for in the Endless Tower?”

“If you can do it, you go! An Undead Mage under Level 53, are you telling him to go to the Deathmatch Arena to die?”

...

The Dungeon Hall was noisy and chaotic.

And at the same time.

In the Dungeon Halls of various main cities in Eagle-chan.

It was bustling with joyous sounds.

“Haha… Yesterday afternoon, over thirty died, so today they don’t dare to fight.”

“Dragon Xia, a great nation, isn’t it still suppressed by us now?”

“By the way, does anyone know who the big shot in the Deathmatch Arena is?”

“It’s been a long time, and no one has accepted the challenge? Where are Yu Qingcang of Dragon Xia and Lei Tai of the National Guardian Army? They’re nowhere to be seen.”

“Just a bunch of cowards, whoever enters dies, haha…”

...

That Deathmatch Arena room lasted for three hours and disappeared at lunchtime.

Presumably, he went to eat lunch.

Lu Ran and the others also came out for lunch. Seeing that the Deathmatch Arena room had disappeared, the four of them were still not in a good mood.

After lunch, when they were about to continue farming, the Deathmatch Arena room reappeared!

The opponent seemed to enjoy it endlessly.

Seeing that no one in Dragon Xia dared to accept the challenge, the opponent didn't even level up or clear dungeons, but instead spent all his time, except for eating, creating rooms to mock Dragon Xia!

The effect, of course, goes without saying.

Internationally, various opinions arose.

Not to mention the power gap between Dragon Xia and Eagle-chan, just the matter of the Deathmatch Arena room alone made it seem as if Dragon Xia was unilaterally suppressed by Eagle-chan.

Lu Ran and the others glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to clear dungeons.

But Lu Ran had already secretly made up his mind.

Tomorrow he would be Level 25. The moment he unlocked the new skill words, he would go in and exact his revenge!

But it wouldn't just stop there; he would also use the same method to return the favor to Eagle-chan!

One comes, one dies!

In the afternoon, Eagle-chan's Deathmatch Arena room remained open until close to six o'clock before disappearing.

It was already gone when Lu Ran and the others came out.

But in Sakura, Nanasheng had already arrived at the Dungeon Hall as scheduled.

Her focus was still on the Global ranking of the Endless Tower.

It seemed that only by witnessing it with her own eyes could she believe what was about to happen.

And Lu Ran naturally did not disappoint her; he entered the Fifty-eighth Floor before dinner, instantly killed the boss with a casual Blood Spear, and then exited.

With the experience reward from the Fifty-eighth Floor, Lu Ran was getting closer and closer to Level 25.

At the same time.

Lu Ran's ranking jumped again.

Currently, Lu Ran, with his record on the 58th floor, suppressed another person on the same 58th floor, ranking Global Third!

Above Lu Ran was Yu Qingcang, in second place!

And above him was Nanasheng, in first place!

The distance was so close!

Nanasheng stared intently at the ranking panel, her chest rising and falling, indicating her extremely intense emotions at the moment.

“President…” the maid said worriedly from the side.

“Help me contact Jinguji, the wielder of the Eight-Eyed Umbrella. No, I’ll contact him myself!” Nanasheng said through gritted teeth.

It was time to consider attempting the Sixty-second Floor. She couldn’t just watch him trample her underfoot!

And for that, she needed to obtain the Eight-Eyed Umbrella!

Ranked third on the Global Equipment List, even suppressing the Dragon Spine Greatsword, which was fourth!

At all costs!
