80: Nanase's competitive spirit

Chapter 80: Nanasheng's Competitiveness

No sooner had he finished speaking than he met the playful smiles of the four presidents, instantly feeling so awkward he could dig his toes into the ground.

He hurriedly said, "Well, this Koi Spirit is indeed of high quality, Sister Xin just said that. The other Shikigami are trash, so there's no need to keep them."

Ye Hongyi patted Lu Ran's shoulder.

She cunningly said, "No need to explain, little brother, you're always going to grow up, and some little quirks are understandable. However, this mermaid does seem difficult to bring along, too eye-catching."

As soon as her words fell.

The Koi Spirit seemed to understand their meaning.

Her face showed some anxiety. She couldn't speak, but her floating body slowly sank, and her fish tail slowly transformed into a pair of jade-like feet, stepping onto the soft sand.

Looking at her like this, this Shikigami was exactly like a human girl!

Lu Ran stared at the slender, graspable jade feet for a moment, swallowed, and praised, "Food-grade!"

The other presidents raised an eyebrow.

They laughed, "The Koi Spirit has this ability? That's no problem then. Keep the Koi Spirit; kill the others."

After dealing with the rest of the trash Shikigami.

Liu Xinxin glanced at the obedient Koi Spirit standing beside Lu Ran.

She said, "This Koi Spirit's quality is quite good. Its Bubble Shield can not only block a lot of damage for you but also trap enemy units, which can be considered a safeguard."

At this point.

Liu Xinxin seemed to think of something and continued, "But these Little Japan's things, it's fine for you to play around with them. I'm actually looking forward to you controlling Nanasheng's Shikigami; that would definitely be a huge help to you."

Upon hearing this.

Lu Ran said in surprise, "Sister Xin, do you know what Nanasheng's Shikigami is?"

At this moment, Ye Hongyi, who was beside them, suddenly spoke with a strange expression, "That's no secret. I once fought Nanasheng. At that time, she only had one Shikigami, an S-rank fox demon, Tamamo-no-Mae."

And since it's a demon, Lu Ran can control it indiscriminately!

"Fortunately, it's not a deity. As Nanasheng's most useful Shikigami, if it were directly controlled by you, Nanasheng would probably be so angry she'd spit blood," Yu Qingcang couldn't help but interject.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, was very puzzled.

He asked, "Her most useful one? Does Nanasheng have other Shikigami? Can an Onmyoji control multiple Shikigami?"

Liu Xinxin explained, "The Onmyoji profession is different from other professions. When an Onmyoji awakens their profession, they have a talent level. The higher the talent level, the stronger the contracted Shikigami, and the more Shikigami they can contract. But under normal circumstances, most Onmyoji can only control one Shikigami."

And Nanasheng's talent level in Sakura is very high.

Almost the highest talent!

"She can control at least three! And these three will be stronger one after another!" Liu Xinxin added.

These were things Lu Ran didn't know.

After all, when he was in the academy, the professional data he studied every day did not include the Onmyoji profession.

"So now we can only pray that Nanasheng's Shikigami are all demon-type and not deity-type," Lu Ran analyzed.

"That's right, but don't worry, there aren't many deity-type Shikigami. Even the Yamata no Orochi in Sakura's legends is a demon-type," Liu Xinxin said.

Afterward, the group returned to Black Fire City.

They planned to continue farming dungeons.

President Yu, Yu Qingcang, removed all the communicators from the dead Onmyoji to take back for research.

And just as Lu Ran and the others returned to the dungeon hall.

They found that the atmosphere here was a bit off.

Everyone was staring at the Endless Tower Global ranking panel.

Lu Ran and the others subconsciously looked up.

They were surprised to find that Nanasheng's ranking was still first, but her cleared floor count had already become 62 floors!

Nanasheng had just been attempting to clear Endless Tower Floor 62?

"It seems the effect is already there. What happened in the Deathmatch Arena has intensified Nanasheng's competitiveness," Liu Xinxin said with a smile.

"It's not just competitiveness; in fact, Nanasheng had already started paying attention to Lu Ran two days ago," Yu Qingcang said from the side.

The group subconsciously looked at Yu Qingcang.

The latter explained, "I briefly looked through the communicators of those Onmyoji just now. One of them had a direct line to Nanasheng. It's certain that this group of people crossing the Forbidden Sea was Nanasheng's order, and their purpose was to investigate information related to the Undead Mage."

At this time.

The clamor in the dungeon hall was incessant.

"That cheap woman from Little Japan climbed another floor?"

"Are you crazy? It's already the sixty-second floor!"

"President Yu of the Tiandao Alliance is only on the 59th floor; he hasn't gotten past the 60th floor for several months."

"The sixtieth floor is a major hurdle; it's not that easy."

"This Nanasheng has something going on, but she's already first. Why is she taking such risks?"

"Needless to say, look at the third-place Undead Mage big shot whose information is hidden, don't you understand?"

"Her butt's on fire, haha..."

...

Meanwhile, in Sakura's dungeon hall, it was a scene of celebration.

"Absolute dominance! President Nanasheng firmly holds the first place, suppressing the Global!"

"What if Eagleland has black dragon equipment? It still can't get any advantage in the Endless Tower, right?"

"Even Yu Qingcang has been suppressed, and not just once!"

"This is three floors beyond Yu Qingcang! And it's even suppressing him starting from the sixtieth floor hurdle!"

"I wonder if that Undead Mage will continue to challenge? He's already third."

"Continue my ass, that Undead Mage is at his limit. Otherwise, he would've gone for it already. Why is he dawdling? Is it because he doesn't want to?"

"That Undead Mage performed well in the Deathmatch Arena, but in the Endless Tower, it's not necessarily the same, especially after reaching the sixtieth floor."

"Yes, the Endless Tower BOSS's HP and attack are much more terrifying than those professional players from Eagleland!"

...

While these people were making noise.

In the crowd.

Nanasheng, wearing a veil, squeezed out.

A maid was already waiting outside.

Seeing Nanasheng come out, several maids immediately rushed over.

But at this time, Nanasheng's expression was very weak.

She looked back at the Endless Tower's Global ranking, saw that her floor count had updated by one, and let out a huge sigh of relief.

Looking further down, the Undead Mage hadn't continued to climb floors yet. Perhaps he wouldn't continue?

"This clear took 26 minutes, close to the limit. Two of my equipment pieces are also damaged and need repair. Prepare the materials for me," Nanasheng instructed the maid.

Then, though weak, she left the dungeon hall with a triumphant expression.

Her goal for today had been achieved, and seeing that the Undead Mage's floor count hadn't changed, she felt satisfied.

But as soon as she returned to Chi Nai Grand Shrine.

She immediately received bad news.

"Everyone we sent to cross the Forbidden Sea has died," the subordinate reporting said with a grim expression.
