With the completion of the first round of the city-level qualifiers:
According to statistics, out of over 20,000 participating professionals in Coastal City, only 5,725 successfully advanced to the intermediate round!
The major guilds in Coastal City have also calculated the latest rankings.
First place: Supreme Guild, with 169 people advancing to the intermediate round, an advancement rate of 84.5%, and a total score of 91 points for the top ten.
Second place: Mist Rain Pavilion, with 80 people advancing to the intermediate round, an advancement rate of 80%, and a total score of 88 points for the top ten.
Third place: Light Hall, with 66 people advancing to the intermediate round, an advancement rate of 77%, and a total score of 82 points.
Fourth place: …
These are the city rankings.
Within Coastal City, Supreme and Mist Rain Pavilion are still very strong.
However, looking at the entire Zhening Province, the rankings of these two guilds have dropped significantly.
Originally, one should be second in the province, and the other fifth.
But now, Supreme has dropped to third, and Mist Rain Pavilion has fallen to seventh!
Due to the recent suppression by Infinity Guild, both guilds, including the God of War Guild in Ganyang City, have suffered irreparable losses.
Currently, the top-ranked guild in the entire province is none other than Infinity Guild from Tianlang!
With 300 people advancing to the intermediate round!
An advancement rate of 100%!
A total score of 100 points for the top ten!
Netizens in Zhening Province are raving about Infinity Guild’s performance!
“Wow, Infinity Guild is really strong! A total score of 100 is one thing, but the whole guild’s 300 members all advanced! That’s insane!”
“It looks like the top spot on our Zhening Province leaderboard this year is securely held by Infinity Guild!”
On the other side.
Wu Haotian couldn’t help but sigh, “Our guild has too few people, we don’t even have enough to gather points, otherwise, we could easily make it to the top ten in the city!”
“No worries,” Zhang Yue said, “The points in these small events are low, a bit more or less doesn’t matter. Later on, one person’s points can crush an entire guild.”
“That’s true,” Wu Haotian pondered, “But I don’t quite believe I have the ability to crush an entire guild!”
“No problem,” Zhang Yue said, “Just believe in me.”
“Goodness, I realize you’re really good at showing off! And you’re genuinely awesome!”
With that, the three of them opened the teleportation space to the Otherworld, leaving the Fourth World and heading to the Fifth World.
“Ding~ Welcome to the Otherworld [Fifth World: Dark Dungeon]! You are currently in the Safe Zone [Dawn Sanctuary]. Please note: This Safe Zone is a common login point for professionals from Coastal City, Ganyang City, and Tianlang!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three beams of white light descended, and Zhang Yue, Ning Tiantian, and Wu Haotian were born in a shattered city fortress.
Endless darkness enveloped the vast city, plunging it into complete darkness, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.
Only in the small town-like Dawn Sanctuary could one see a faint light from the searchlights.
[Fifth World: Dark Dungeon]
[Background: Darkness engulfs the land, human cities fall into endless darkness. Will you die in despair, or seek light in the darkness, exploring the path of survival with your life? Professionals, what will you choose…]
[World Task 1: Accumulate 100 energy batteries in the Dark Dungeon and bring them to Dawn Sanctuary, handing them over to Director Mar (Progress 0/100)]
[World Task 2: Rescue at least three survivors in the Dark Dungeon and bring them safely to Dawn Sanctuary (Progress 0/3)]
Energy batteries are the only consumables that maintain the light in Dawn Sanctuary. Once energy batteries are lacking, Dawn Sanctuary will fall into endless darkness and be devoured by the monsters in the dungeon.
Professionals in the Fifth World have a certain chance to obtain energy batteries through tasks, killing monsters, and clearing secret realms.
At this moment, Wu Haotian, carrying a flaming spear, asked, “Where should we go to develop?”
Zhang Yue already had a clear goal: “Night Fortress.”
“Wait!” Wu Haotian, who had just read up on the Fifth World strategy last night, said thoughtfully, “You mean the level 36 secret realm that can be upgraded to a hidden secret realm through special means?”
In the Fourth World, there were no secret realms.
Having finally reached the Fifth World, the fastest way to improve strength was naturally to clear secret realms!
Moreover, according to the strategy, the Night Fortress secret realm in the Fifth World has a chance to drop a rare skill book that greatly increases the damage output of Priest professionals from the guardian [Night Lord]!
If they could obtain that skill book from the Night Lord, Ning Tiantian’s damage output would significantly increase.
With her powerful healing as an Elite Grade Holy Light Priest, she would truly be able to attack and defend, performing better in the upcoming competitions and bringing higher Glory Points to the Temple of Destiny!
Wu Haotian checked the strategy for the Night Fortress secret realm again and finally understood Zhang Yue’s motive: “You want to get that book to boost Tiantian’s output?”
“But the strategy says the drop rate from the Night Lord is ridiculously low, we probably won’t get it.”
Zhang Yue was unfazed: “That’s the drop rate for a regular secret realm.”
“Are you saying you can upgrade this secret realm to a hidden one?” Wu Haotian was incredulous, “Dude, upgrading to a hidden secret realm is even less likely than getting the book!”
“Honestly, you’d be better off buying one from the market! The book is available there, probably for around a million.”
Hearing this, Ning Tiantian was shocked: “A… a million? That’s too expensive!”
Zhang Yue glanced at Wu Haotian: “How about we each pay half?”
Wu Haotian was silent for a moment: “Let’s go fight for it!”
So, the three left the Safe Zone, Dawn Sanctuary.
Following the map, they headed to the level 36 secret realm, Night Fortress, located north of Dawn Sanctuary.
Man-eating bugs are the overlords of the Dark Dungeon in the Fifth World.
As the name suggests, their characteristic is eating people, and they can enhance their strength and evolve by devouring humans!
On the way to the Night Fortress, they encountered many different kinds of man-eating bugs.
There were level 36 man-eating ants, level 37 man-eating spiders, and level 38 man-eating centipedes.
Each of them was at least as large as an elephant, with fangs and a terrifying appearance, as if they could swallow a person whole!
Frightened, Ning Tiantian clung closely to Zhang Yue, fearing she would be eaten by those monsters.
Seeing Ning Tiantian so scared, Wu Haotian intentionally yelled “Boo!” almost making her cry.
Zhang Yue and his team did not provoke the bugs along the way.
They went straight to the location of the Night Fortress.
In the ruined city center, an elderly mage holding an Ice Staff stood guard in front of a massive space-time rift.
That rift was the entrance to the level 36 secret realm, Night Fortress!
Zhang Yue approached the elderly mage, Norfa, triggered a dialogue, and received the exclusive secret order for the Night Fortress.
[Regular Secret Order] (lv36 Night Fortress secret realm exclusive)
[Description: The holder of the secret order can gain 10 refining opportunities for each man-eating bug killed. Each refining consumes 100 points of psionic energy, with a certain chance to obtain a Golden Secret Order.]
