Chu Tian was currently in the dark world of the Killer Faction.
He accepted the video request from Luo Luo.
The screen in front of him changed, and the video call began.
Luo Luo’s delicate face appeared on the screen.
And her super powerful dragon baby.
"Ge..." Luo Luo’s beaming smile appeared.
Earlier, as he was following Luo Luo to the Kyoto area, he suddenly felt that ominous premonition.
So, he requested Grandma Ma and the others to send Luo Luo and Luo Qinghao, the clan leader who had slept the entire way, back home to Kyoto.
And the Ma family didn't delay much.
Just a few hours after Chu Tian, they left Kyoto and rushed back to Dragon Gate Peak.
Chu Tian was delayed in Shengjing for an afternoon and half a night. When he arrived at the Ma family, they had only just arrived not long before.
Seeing Luo Luo's smiling face now, Chu Tian felt a warmth in his heart, finally seeing the person he had dreamt of.
"Annoying... what are you grinning about... where are you, why is it so dark?" Seeing Chu Tian not speaking, Luo Luo just smiled foolishly.
At the same time, she noticed that the scenery on Chu Tian's side was pitch black, and only Chu Tian’s figure could be vaguely seen.
Chu Tian withdrew his smile and said, "I'm on the Killer Faction side, and it will probably take some time to return."
"You need to level up!"
"Oh..." Luo Luo pouted and said, "You're telling me, but look at yourself, you're not first anymore!"
"What?" Chu Tian quickly opened the leaderboard.
His level was forty-six, with ninety-two percent experience.
Second place: Zongheng Tianxia, level forty-six, eighty-nine percent experience.
Third place: Ye Zi, level forty-five, seventy-three percent experience.
Fourth place: Heng Dao, level forty-five, sixty-one percent experience.
Below them were Jian Zhi Cang Tian and Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni.
All had reached level forty-five.
It could be said that the top ten players on the leaderboard had all reached the level of forty-five.
Seeing this name, Chu Tian's eyes turned cold.
Huang Xueyi, truly a persistent ghost.
He hadn't expected his level to increase so quickly.
His experience was only three percent less than his own.
If it were any longer, he might really lose his first place.
When Chu Tian left Shengjing, he had just reached level forty-five.
He hadn't been leveling up much for about half a month, and he still had about two levels to gain.
This was thanks to Dao Tian, who had been using Chu Tian's clone during this time, mingling in various parts of the Heavenly Dao.
Eighty percent of all the experience gained was distributed to the main body.
That is, Chu Tian's Druid class character.
"I'm still first," Chu Tian said in surprise.
Luo Luo pouted and said, "Go check the official website!"
On the official website of the Heavenly Dao world, there were two most popular pinned posts.
Title: Dragon Country's Newcomer King 'De Shen' Falls to 'Second Place' in World Level.
Title: Killer Faction's Great Serpent Country Player '豚を殺す人 (Pig Killer)' Takes the Throne of World Level First.
When he saw the word 'Second Place', Chu Tian almost laughed in anger.
If you don't write Second Place as Second Place, why use quotation marks?
But how could this Great Serpent Country player, Pig Killer, level up so quickly?
In the post content, he found screenshots of the leaderboard, updated in real-time.
This guy had actually reached level forty-eight, with ten percent experience.
He was a full two levels higher than Chu Tian.
This gap of two levels represented an astronomical amount of experience.
He roughly skimmed through the post content and replies.
It turned out that this guy, a few days ago, the Heavenly Dao world had produced another God-Tier talent.
This talent was Growth, with a one hundred percent experience bonus.
This was obtained by Pig Killer.
Chu Tian recalled, there seemed to have been such a person in the Killer Faction before.
However, he had only stopped at that.
He only had the Growth talent, and later he was hunted down, not only failing to level up.
Instead, he kept losing levels, and since then, he had been in a tug-of-war with levels.
Fast to rise, fast to fall.
After closing it, he opened another post, intending to watch the excitement.
But when he saw the poster, he couldn't remain calm.
This person was actually the one about to catch up to his level: Zongheng Tianxia.
Moreover, in the post, he boasted that he would "blow up" Chu Tian.
And make him not even be able to be 'Second Place'.
If it were anyone else, Chu Tian might have just laughed it off.
But... not him.
Closing the post, Chu Tian's expression turned grim.
Luo Luo's video was still on. She knew Chu Tian was looking at the official website, so she didn't disturb him.
At this moment, she had already joined forces with Jian Zhi Cang Tian and the others.
Seeing Chu Tian's gaze shift back, she knew he had seen everything on the official website.
"Finished reading? How is it, Second Place... hehe!"
Luo Luo teased him with a smile.
Chu Tian pouted and said, "It's just a level, it's no big deal."
"By the way, are you safe over there?"
He was naturally asking about reality.
"Don't worry, when Dad wakes up, if everything is fine, I'll come find you!"
Luo Luo and the others had entered the dungeon. She chatted with Chu Tian while following the team.
Although Luo Luo's level was relatively low now, her damage output was likely higher than that of a level forty-five player.
Chu Tian saw that they were entering the Blood Legion Fortress.
It was a level thirty-five dungeon, but it was on Expert difficulty.
Chu Tian thought, this kid Jian Zhi Cang Tian was getting ambitious.
He started challenging Expert difficulty as soon as he logged in.
In Luo Luo's video feed, Chu Tian saw a familiar yet strange figure.
"Ye Zi?" Chu Tian exclaimed in surprise.
Qi Xizhen had poached him.
Then, it meant that the commander of this team was not Jian Zhi Cang Tian.
But Ye Zi...
The reason he said it was both familiar and strange was that in his previous life.
He had a few transactions with Ye Zi.
Their relationship was limited to that of client and employer.
"Mhm... Zhao Lei said he'd bring me along to leech some experience!"
"It just so happens that two people in this team were on leave, so we two came over."
"Hmph... they saw my low level and were unwilling to bring me. Let's see if I can shame them later."
Luo Luo wrinkled her little nose, revealing her small tiger teeth, and waved her fist.
Seeing her like this, Chu Tian smiled.
It was likely that once her damage output was revealed, it would shock the entire team.
In the future, there would be a bunch of team leaders vying to have her join their teams.
"Then you go ahead and run the dungeon!"
"I need to level up too, otherwise I'll really be 'blown up'!"
Chu Tian saw that the experience of Zongheng Tianxia on the leaderboard had increased by one percent.
Moreover, in the guild chat channel, many people were discussing this matter.
Although he himself felt that the current ranking didn't matter.
Because there were no rewards for being first.
Unless it was reaching the level sixty mark.
After level sixty, one could activate the teleportation to Dragon City.
The first person to arrive would receive generous rewards.
However, he could tell that the atmosphere among the guild players was not right. After all, he was the guild leader.
And he had created countless legends since the server opened.
Now that he was about to be surpassed, it was inevitable that it would affect the morale of the Reverse God Alliance players.
Some of them were even his fans, treating him as an idol.
"Okay, Ge... mua!" The usually shy Luo Luo, before closing the video.
Blew Chu Tian a kiss.
As he stood there in a daze, Luo Luo had already closed the video.
The last image was her mischievous smile.
