Time ticked by.

Nanami watched the global rankings of the Endless Tower, completely unchanged.

She breathed a sigh of relief, yet still worried about a sudden attack from that Undead Mage.

After all.

After a bout of suppression in the Deathmatch Arena, even though she didn't know that Undead Mage's exact strength, it certainly wasn't weak!

The maid by her side cautiously watched Nanami.

She said, "President, should we keep watching? Quite a bit of time has already passed."

Nanami pondered and shook her head.

She said, "Forget it, maybe he won't push floors tonight. I'm already surprised he's passed the sixtieth floor. Even if he can't get past the sixty-first, I understand, as I've tried it myself and know how difficult it is."

After speaking.

She glanced down at the Eight-Eyed Luo Umbrella in her hand.

If she hadn't paid a huge price to obtain the Eight-Eyed Luo Umbrella, she wouldn't have been able to reach the sixty-second floor.

And now.

That Undead Mage at the sixtieth floor was only two floors behind her!

After speaking, Nanami waved her hand and said, "Let's go, we're heading back..."

Before she could finish speaking.

The entire dungeon hall suddenly became restless.

"Here we go, here we go! The Undead Mage from Longxia has reached the sixty-first floor!"

"Better late than never, the Undead Mage is mighty!"

"Damn it, he's from Longxia, what's so mighty about that, baka!"

"Only one floor away from Nanami?"

"My goodness, is this Undead Mage going to ascend to heaven?!"

...

Nanami's expression changed slightly, and she abruptly looked up at the ranking board.

At a glance.

Indeed!

That Undead Mage was still in second place, but the floor count had been updated to sixty-one!

And now, ranked above him was Nanami with her sixty-second floor!

Nanami took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation and unease in her heart.

The absolute advantage she once held had been rapidly closed by the opponent in a short period, putting pressure on her!

"Damn it, he actually passed the sixty-first floor!" Nanami said through clenched teeth.

What frustrated Nanami the most was.

That Undead Mage wasn't even aggressively trying to climb the tower.

But was passing one floor after another, one in the morning, one in the evening, gradually closing the gap!

It was as if he was casually going to try a floor every morning and evening!

It was nothing like throwing life and limb on the line for such an ascent!

Over the years.

Nanami had seen too many powerhouses who had a fleeting moment of glory on the global ranking of the Endless Tower, only to die in an attempt to reach higher floors!

But this Undead Mage, it's as if he's playing around!

Yes, just playing around!

"Is he targeting me?" Nanami muttered to herself.

All this.

Occurred right after she suppressed Yu Qingcang and surpassed him by two floors.

This Undead Mage immediately appeared!

To the point that even Yu Qingcang hadn't continued to push the floors, yet this Undead Mage was relentlessly closing in!

And he's hidden all of his information, those question marks on the leaderboard made Nanami more and more uneasy.

"It's a pity I don't know how long it took him to clear the sixty-first floor, and whether he was faster or slower than I was…" Nanami wondered to herself.

But there was no way to know the result.

If she knew that Lu Ran had only taken a few seconds to clear the sixty-first floor, who knows what she would have thought.

"No matter, if he passes the sixty-second floor, I'll know if he was faster than me or not." Nanami pondered her thoughts out loud.

The maid by her side was taken aback.

Quickly, she asked, "President, do you think he might actually pass the sixty-second floor?"

Nanami glanced at the rankings.

She said flatly, "At the moment, it's very possible. I have to prepare, no matter what. I can't let him surpass me! He's just a mere Undead Mage, a standard profession, one that hasn't even made an appearance in the Endless Tower!"

If surpassed by an Undead Mage, that would be an absolute disgrace!

What's more, this Undead Mage is from Longxia, not even level fifty-three!

After speaking.

Nanami resolutely turned around to leave, with a face full of determination, as if ready to face death!

The maid hurriedly followed.

It seemed that Liu Xinxin's strategy had been quite successful!

Nanami had now been pushed into an awkward predicament.

The global first-ranked honor she had just acquired on the Endless Tower would be lost once that Undead Mage surpassed her!

No one would remember her as the former number one anymore.

They would only remember that she, the number one Yin Yang Master of Japan, had been thoroughly suppressed by an Undead Mage!

Meanwhile.

In the dungeon hall of Jiuyou City, only three guild leaders were present.

After Lu Ran came out.

He glanced at the rankings on the panel and said, "Done, shall we go to the village to eat?"

Ye Hongyi nodded contentedly and said, "You probably haven't tried the local cuisine here. Besides, in the Southern Border, even the life profession chefs have recipes different from those in Black Fire City. With Wei Yingying's arrangements, it should be excellent, so you can all taste it."

After speaking, the group cheerfully headed out.

Liu Xinxin then asked, "Lu Ran, tomorrow morning you'll be able to pass the sixty-second floor. If Nanami doesn't pass the sixty-third floor tonight, she definitely won't be faster than you on the sixty-second floor. What are your plans afterward?"

Plans?

Lu Ran was taken aback.

He pondered, "I don't really have any plans yet. Should I continue one floor in the morning and one floor at night?"

Liu Xinxin shook her head and said, "This approach is just to put pressure on Nanami. If you surpass her and she doesn't lose her mind and kill herself, then there's no need to continue playing like this. You can do whatever you like then."

"Do whatever I like…" Lu Ran muttered.

"Yeah, even without the Charged Blood Spear, you can normally push floors now. At that time, you can pass whichever floor you want. Even if you can't pass, you won't die; you'll be kicked out of the Endless Tower in half an hour anyway." Liu Xinxin explained.

Charged Blood Spear was merely used to suppress other professionals on the same floor.

To normally push floors, Lu Ran's Infinite Corpse Explosion combined with Skeleton Storm deals more terrifying damage than any profession's skill cycle!

Plus, there's no need to worry about body technique, battle rhythm, or any danger; Undead Touch controls the bosses, focusing on full output!

"Then I have an idea. Once I surpass Nanami, I'll push the floors to the point where they can't catch up in a year! Plus, I'll gain heaps of experience!" Lu Ran excitedly said.

He had long wanted to do just that.

Now that Liu Xinxin suggested it, Lu Ran immediately got excited.

"Haha... that's great. My brother can count as one of those dominating the global rankings. I look forward to you dominating every global ranking!" Ye Hongyi laughed heartily.

Lei Tai, meanwhile, watched with envy.

His Earth Knight reaching this point was already the limit.

But compared to Lu Ran, who was just over level twenty, it's like day and night!
