Chapter 1328: Chapter 1231: Top Ten Battle, Begin!
"The position of the ancient ancestor of the Human Race? Aren’t you putting me in a difficult position? Forget it, since we hit it off, there’s no harm in telling you, but keep it to yourself."
Su Ran struggled to suppress his smile, kept a straight face, and spoke in a serious tone, "The ancient ancestor of the Human Race is hidden in a pit in the Demon World. The hiding place is extremely secretive. Moreover, this NPC has a rather peculiar temper. If you anger him, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
It surely is it!
Hearing this, Qiu Tu was convinced that the ancient ancestor Su Ran mentioned was the same NPC he had encountered!
What a pity, initially, he had completed half of the tests given by the NPC. First, they were made to kill each other, then they traded precious Nightmare Flowers for graveyard grass, later they killed the Nightmare Flower BOSS to get the fire pool brick reward, and the final test was to find the exit. But now, having reached this stage, he had given up—how unjustified was that?
Otherwise, that special Summoned Beast would have belonged to him. How could it have ended up with Overturning Water?
Damn it!
But then again, this ancient ancestor of the Human Race was indeed a bit sleazy. Plus, the mission didn’t offer any hints at all. No wonder he doubted the authenticity of the mission and wasted this valuable opportunity. Just thinking about it was painfully frustrating!
Huh?
Wait a minute.
There were no hints for the mission, which means it wasn’t a failure, right? If he went back now, perhaps he could still continue the mission!
With this thought, Qiu Tu’s eyes suddenly shone brightly.
"Overturning Water, brother, thank you. As a token of gratitude, a word of advice—be careful of the Hangover Elder!"
Qiu Tu gave Su Ran a sincere bow, "This man’s strength is unfathomably deep. You must not take him lightly!" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"..."
Su Ran was speechless. Was that not obvious? As a contender for the throne on the Heavenly List, how could he not be strong?
"Overturning Water, brother, you are a good person. If fate allows, we’ll meet again!"
With a heroic tone, Qiu Tu resolutely threw himself into Su Ran’s group of summoned beasts. A famed expert of the Heavenly List perished just like that, evoking a sense of poignancy.
"So, are guys also into giving out good guy cards now?"
Su Ran shivered, the sensation making his skin crawl. He hadn’t expected the fellow to be so gullible; to think that casual comments would be taken seriously. How naive can one get?
This was truly leading him on to his doom!
Qiu Tu’s body disappeared without dropping any equipment, leaving Su Ran quite disappointed. It had to be said, the guy was really lucky—dying twice without any equipment dropping. This also meant a significant reduction in potential income, as equipment from a Heavenly List expert would undoubtedly be valuable.
"Ding! After intense competition, the contestants of the Heavenly Gang Group have reached a crucial moment. The top ten have now emerged. Next, the order of the competition will be rearranged, resurrection opportunities are cancelled, and the tournament will proceed as normal in 30 minutes. Who will claim the champion’s throne? Let us wait and see!"
Shortly after the arena battle ended, a system notification sounded throughout the venue, igniting the players’ enthusiasm.
Because of Su Ran’s unique presence, many contestants directly forfeited, significantly shortening the tournament’s duration. If Su Ran knew about this, he would certainly be surprised.
"Phew, top ten. With each victory, I’m one step closer to the championship!"
Su Ran’s heart was filled with excitement, his skeletal claws clenched tight, filled with confidence.
No one could stop him from taking the championship!
That was the goal Su Ran had set for himself—to cure his terminal illness, he was ready to risk his life to get his hands on the championship prize, the Dreamseeking Mirror!
In the blink of an eye, thirty minutes had passed.
In the game, time was the least valuable commodity. Before he even felt he had played for long, it had turned dark. School was different, though: a glance at his watch and only three minutes had passed—it was really quite bizarre.
Could it be...
Did the school possess magic that slowed the flow of time?
Of course.
For the main subject teachers, there was never enough time. They even begrudged the ten minutes between classes, absolutely dedicated to teaching!
"Whoosh!"
A spatial fluctuation occurred on the platform where Su Ran was. Opposite him appeared a female elf with snow-white long hair. Even her equipment was a silver-white elf set, holding an ice spear. Her entire image, cold as an ice lump, gave off an aura of keeping others at bay.
"Wu Qing, how did I end up facing you?"
How could Su Ran not recognize this female elf? He shook his head helplessly, his previously gathered fighting spirit dissipating.
"Overturning Water, congratulations on making it from the Earthly Fiend Group to the top ten of the Heavenly Gang Group!"
Seeing her opponent was Su Ran, the chill on Xue Wuqing’s face melted away slightly, and she even put away her ice spear. "I always thought you would make a name for yourself. This martial contest has proved your strength; it’s really quite impressive!"
"Why does this feel like a parent lecturing their child? Wu Qing, can’t you find another way to say it?"
Out of politeness, Su Ran tucked his bone scythe into his waistband and quickly changed the subject. "So, how’s the competition been going for you?"
"Going well? Haha."
Xue Wuqing gave Su Ran a disdainful glance. "If it had been going well, I wouldn’t have run into you!"
"It’s not my fault, it’s the system’s doing, what’s it got to do with me?"
Su Ran quickly cleared himself of any responsibility to avoid being remembered for vengeance by this woman.
"Overturning Water, I have a task for you. If you run into that guy wearing a green hat later, slash him hard for me, beat him to a pulp!"
As soon as that green-hatted player was mentioned, Xue Wuqing was visibly irritated, rage clear in her eyes.
"What, did he smash your windows? Or did he pour glue into your door lock?"
Su Ran raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly hearing about his long-anticipated green-hat brother from Xue Wuqing, instantly piqued with curiosity and a gossip-hungry look.
"He hasn’t gone to your level of mischief yet!"
Xue Wuqing felt like she couldn’t communicate with Su Ran anymore, patted her pale forehead, and continued, "This person is despicable and shameless, having no sense of martial ethics at all. I was just tricked by him; you must help me avenge this!"
"Cough cough, doing anything to win, including sneaky tricks, is quite normal, I do it all the time..."
Before Su Ran could finish, seeing Xue Wuqing’s expression change, he quickly switched his tone, "Of course, when facing women, I could never do such things. What kind of man bullies a woman?"
If Sister Ling were to hear this, she’d definitely spit a thick glob of phlegm on Su Ran’s face.
"Right, Overturning Water, be careful, that fellow has an ancient ferocious beast, quite formidable. My Pegasus didn’t have the courage to confront it, its rank must be high!"
Xue Wuqing’s tone was very solemn as she spoke, sounding the alarm for Su Ran, afraid he would suffer in this regard. Having many pets doesn’t mean they can overpower that ferocious beast; if he’s prepared in advance, his chances of winning should be decent.
An ancient ferocious beast?
Su Ran chuckled.
