Chapter 192, First Contestant
At this moment, everyone was fully focused and giving their all in a fierce battle against the creatures in the Trial Tower.
Song Wanning moved with agility, wielding the weapons Longhui and Longyue like nimble dragons, sometimes gleaming with fiery light, sometimes radiating cool moonlight, switching back and forth with effortless grace, dazzling the eye.
Not far away, a massive earth dragon, as large as a mountain, stood majestically, its thick, powerful feet firmly treading on a ferocious creature that resembled a tiger.
The earth dragon slightly raised its head, its gaze fixed on the list not far away.
After a hard-fought battle, it has successfully broken through the twentieth level, and its ranking has risen to thirteenth.
However, compared to that, the top-ranked expert at this moment is even more unstoppable, having already made great strides and reached the thirty-fifth level!
"Phew... these humans are really fast at clearing the levels!"
The earth dragon took a deep breath, then violently shook its body, which was as if it were made of steel. With a muffled sound, the tiger-like creature under its feet was sent flying like a cannonball and crashed heavily onto the ground in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, the earth dragon strode forward without hesitation, heading confidently toward the next level.
Looking at the current leader, it turns out to be a warrior from the United States named Daniel Wilson.
He was now surrounded by countless highly venomous bees, which swarmed around him like a dark, oppressive cloud.
Faced with such a perilous situation, Daniel showed no fear. He held an extremely sharp sword in each hand, and as he swung them, the blades emitted a faint light, quickly weaving into a strong protective shield that kept the swarming poisonous bees at bay.
Moreover, Daniel is also able to skillfully exploit the enemy's weaknesses while on defense.
Whenever a suitable opportunity arises, he will act decisively, his sword flashing like lightning across the sky, striking out with lightning speed.
In an instant, one poisonous bee after another was stung and fell to the ground, their corpses scattered like rain.
Daniel flicked his wrist, easily shaking off the dead poisonous bees clinging to the sword, and then looked up at the leaderboard hanging high in the air.
Just then, Daniel glanced around and suddenly noticed that the player ranked second on the leaderboard had only just reached level 30.
Seeing this, Daniel couldn't help but feel secretly pleased: "Hehe, it seems that my current progress is quite considerable."
Thinking of this, a confident smile slowly crept onto his resolute and determined face.
However, something unexpected happened in the next instant—Daniel suddenly found his name had slipped from first to second place.
"What on earth is going on?!" He was taken aback and quickly turned his gaze to the leaderboard.
Sure enough, I had been pushed down to second place, while the first place had changed hands.
"Who could possibly surpass my level?" Daniel looked up with a puzzled expression, gazing towards where the first-place player was.
The first name listed was a Chinese name – Ye Chuxue.
“Ye Chuxue?” Daniel murmured the unfamiliar name softly, his face full of doubt.
However, when he continued to look down, he was instantly stunned.
Sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty-three...
The contestant named Ye Chuxue was climbing the level at an astonishing rate of almost one level per second, leaving everyone else far behind in the blink of an eye.
“How could this possibly happen!” Daniel roared in disbelief, his eyes wide.
What he saw before him was so unbelievable that he simply couldn't accept such a cruel reality.
"That's right, she must have used all her strength to do such an amazing thing, that must be it..."
Daniel muttered to himself, trying to calm the shock and unease in his heart, but the speed at which he swung his weapon involuntarily increased, as if only in this way could he make himself feel a little more at ease.
Just then, the other contestants also noticed Ye Chuxue's lightning speed. They were all dumbfounded and stunned into place.
However, after a brief moment of surprise, their strong competitive spirit quickly brought them back to their senses, and they all began to accelerate forward at full speed.
Because in this fierce competition, everyone is eager to be the first to reach the finish line and seize that legendary artifact.
At this moment, Ye Chuxue moved between the various levels like a ghost. A figure flashed by like lightning, and wherever she passed, the surrounding creatures collapsed to the ground before they could even react.
Ye Chuxue was so agile and swift in her attacks that she was killed before she could even react.
What's even more amazing is that she only needs to use one move to annihilate all the creatures on each level, and then she will rush to the next level without hesitation.
When faced with a large number of creatures, Ye Chuxue displayed extraordinary strength.
She paused for a moment, then waved her hands, instantly unleashing a powerful area-of-effect skill.
In a flash of light, the once menacing creatures were instantly enveloped, and with a series of shrill screams, they fell to the ground, turning into a scene of utter devastation.
And so, Ye Chuxue charged toward her goal with unstoppable momentum, seemingly invincible.
Ye Chuxue was completely unaffected by others and focused solely on reaching higher levels.
Soon, she arrived at the ninety-ninth floor, just one step away from the final hundredth floor.
When Ye Chuxue arrived at the 100th floor, she found that the environment had changed.
A figure was standing in front.
"Floor 100: Defeat the enemy before you!"
Ye Chuxue looked at the introduction: This person is the first player to clear the 100th floor. You can only clear the level by defeating him.
Ye Chuxue carefully examined the person in front of her. He was tall and imposing, with deep, cold eyes, and exuded a powerful sense of pressure. But Ye Chuxue did not back down; instead, she clenched her fists.
Ye Chuxue took a deep breath and circulated her spiritual energy.
Suddenly, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and shot towards her opponent like an arrow. The man's lips curled into a cold smile, and he easily dodged to the side.
Ye Chuxue missed her first attack, and immediately swung her sword again with a sharp, whistling motion.
The guardian raised his hand to block, and the two exchanged blows several times in an instant.
Suddenly, flames erupted from the guardian's hand, and he threw a punch.
Ye Chuxue quickly used her blade to defend herself, but was knocked back several meters, and a burning sensation came from the blade.
"Such a high flame temperature!" Ye Chuxue was startled.
