The discussions on the world channel were also severely shaken by the continuous system prompts.
"Holy crap, did I read that right? Someone already completed four transcendences this quickly?"
"The first one to do it wasn't Wangzhe Fenshao, wasn't he always ranked first on the leveling board?"
"Tian Jian Wei Mo, who I had my eye on, was also surpassed. I totally didn't expect this."
"Luo Luo and these few are too exaggerated. Did they hold back on leveling and just jump straight to level 40 for transcendence?"
"Why is their leveling so fast? What monsters did they kill?"
"Could it be they all bought the in-game cultivation acceleration potions and trained 24 hours a day without rest? That's terrifying!"
"Did you guys notice? The system rewarded Luo Luo with a minor divine ability. What is that?"
"It seems to be a level above advanced skills. That's my guess."
"Above advanced skills? I haven't even seen an intermediate skill before."
"The bookies are rich now, all their predictions were wrong. They're the only winners."
"Hey bookie, aren't you going to give us some welfare?"
Despite the lively discussions, everyone knew that the gap between themselves and these top powerhouses was immense.
It was merely a way to blow off steam and find some amusement between leveling sessions.
However, the other parties involved weren't as relaxed.
Dong Huang Jian's hand holding the sword froze, falling silent for a few seconds.
Just as the boss was about to pounce,
His sword flashed out of its sheath. The advanced skill's sword technique unleashed immense power, dealing a critical hit for tens of thousands.
The boss fell.
He received the first kill reward of 6 attribute points.
The extra attributes were just enough.
With his current progress of level 39 and over 3 million cultivation,
He was only 20 million cultivation points away from reaching level 40.
He was confident he could complete the transcendence mission solo.
However,
It was already too late.
Not only did he fail to snag the first place,
But the top five ranks were already filled.
Still,
His dejected mood only lasted for a few minutes before he came to terms with it.
The repeated blows from Yang Jian Qing Ming had already forged his will into an unbreakable resilience.
This time, it was Yang Jian Qing Ming's teammates, wasn't it?
It was all the same.
Equally despair-inducing.
Tian Jian Wei Mo stood before the security officer, somewhat dazed.
"This fast?"
He had initially planned to suppress his leveling speed,
Staying below Wangzhe Fenshao,
And then, once he accumulated enough cultivation and before accepting the quest, he would suddenly level up to 40.
He would accept the quest, and then quickly transcend.
And thoroughly shock Wangzhe Fenshao.
Who would have thought,
Someone could be even more ruthless than him?
Completely suppressing their entire team at level 30?
He couldn't imagine,
How these five people managed to quickly accumulate the cultivation needed to level up to 40 while staying at level 30.
Curiosity piqued, it also ignited his fighting spirit.
This race had just begun.
He might be lagging behind now,
But in the future, he would be the strongest!
Huang Zu Rong Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Jian Qing Ming was still Yang Jian Qing Ming.
Even if he wasn't active,
His subordinates were still as brilliant.
Losing to such a formidable figure was no shame.
It was just that,
He looked at Tian Jian Wei Mo, who was ranked sixth on the level board, also at level 40, just like the top five.
He felt a sense of pressure.
"This kid who suddenly appeared is quite formidable."
He couldn't compare to Yang Jian Qing Ming, that was understandable.
Wangzhe Fenshao, that show-off who only knew how to throw money around, wasn't even on his radar.
But Tian Jian Wei Mo seemed to have something special.
He looked at his own cultivation, still 15 million points away from level 40, feeling a little nervous.
"Am I going to miss out on even the top ten for the four transcendences?"
Qin Fen felt his pride and expectations completely shattered into dust.
He really wanted to let out a long sigh to the heavens.
"Heavens, Earth."
"Why must you always give me hope, only to deliver a fatal blow!"
He opened the leveling board.
He saw Luo Luo's five-person group, all five at level 40.
The sixth spot was occupied by Tian Jian Wei Mo, who had always been ranked below him.
He had also reached level 40.
Below him, was his own level 39.
This made his former boast of being the first to reach level 40,
And the first to complete four transcendences, turn into a joke.
He desperately wanted to grab Luo Luo and the others by the throat and question them.
"How did you guys level up?"
"I'm using the maximum 10x cultivation boost, and I'm still not as fast as you?"
"You guys completely disregard me, a paying player!"
As he lamented, his gaze shifted.
"These people, I hadn't heard of them having any special abilities before."
"They must have received his support as loyal subordinates of Yang Jian Qing Ming."
The more he thought about it, the more he believed this was the case.
As for Yang Jian Qing Ming's strength, others might not understand it, but he did.
It was completely beyond all other players by an unknown number of tiers.
Even compared to himself, he was far stronger, so strong it was despair-inducing.
While conflicted, he suddenly felt a touch of envy for these people.
"Following Yang Jian Qing Ming, you're truly lucky."
As he sighed,
A strange thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
"What if I also become Yang Jian Qing Ming's subordinate?"
He was startled by his own thought,
Almost losing his balance.
"Brother Fen, what is it?" Braga Ye Feng asked anxiously.
Qin Fen felt his face burning.
As if his inner thoughts had been seen, he mumbled, "It's nothing."
"You guys calculate it for me. I'll do it myself."
Ignoring the bewildered Braga Ye Feng,
He opened his friend list.
Ever since he had displayed his wealth,
People eager to add him as a friend were countless.
He had never paid them any attention.
"These people only care about money!"
He scoffed internally.
Then, he typed in Yang Jian Qing Ming and sent a friend request.
"Senior, please add me."
He still felt a bit proud.
"This isn't me begging to be a subordinate.
This is cooperation for mutual benefit.
A strong alliance."
After sending it, he vaguely felt something was off.
"This attitude seems a bit arrogant?"
He quickly resent it.
"Hello, Senior Yang Jian. Could you please add me as a friend?"
After sending it, he felt a bit ashamed and annoyed.
"I'm a well-known rich second generation, a god-tier spender in various games."
"How can I use such a humble attitude?"
"What will others think of me?"
Just as he was in a state of anxious worry,
He suddenly saw Lin Feng's reply.
【Yang Jian Qing Ming】: "?"
Just a single question mark, but it filled him with immense joy.
"The senior replied to me!"
He shed all pretense of pride and hesitation, quickly replying.
"Can I make friends with you, Senior? I was wrong about what happened before."
He felt a bit uneasy.
"Will the senior forgive me?"
【Yang Jian Qing Ming】: "Speak if you have something to say!"
Qin Fen's eyes lit up.
"The senior isn't holding a grudge?"
He breathed a sigh of relief, secretly praising.
"The senior is indeed a senior. This magnanimity is admirable."
Since the other party was willing to reply, he directly stated his intention.
"I notice you rarely list items on the Auction House. Are you not producing anything good recently?"
After sending it, he immediately felt something was not right.
"Pah!"
"How can I say the senior has no output?"
He quickly tried to salvage the situation by saying: "Are you worried about players' purchasing power, Senior?
If you have anything you don't need, you can sell some to me. Price is not an issue on my end."
After sending the message, he fell into anxious waiting.
He feared both that Lin Feng genuinely had nothing suitable to sell,
And that the items offered would be too high-level for him to use at the moment.
Just as he was struggling with all sorts of internal torment,
He finally received Lin Feng's reply.
However, its content made his expression dim.
