The system prompt indicated that Meng Xiaomiao had accepted his friend request.
This sent a tremor through Chu Tian's heart.
Ye Ling had finally come online and told Heng Dao that she had news about Luo Luo.
Chu Tian had been waiting for her for the past two days.
The teleportation array activated, and during the two seconds of cross-map teleportation, he kept muttering: Faster... faster... faster...
Those two seconds felt slower than two hours to Chu Tian.
Luo Luo had left without a word. Although they had spoken once, Chu Tian had keenly sensed that Luo Luo was hiding something from him.
However, Luo Luo had only said comforting words to him, and he knew she was afraid he would worry.
But these past few days, his heart had become increasingly unsettled. He hoped Ye Ling could bring him good news.
Finally, with a flash of white light, the map teleportation was complete.
The first thing he did was open his friend list. Meng Xiaomiao's avatar was lit up.
Chu Tian clicked on her avatar directly and initiated a video call.
[Ding... The other party is offline and cannot be reached!]
He froze and looked at Meng Xiaomiao's avatar again; it had turned black.
What the hell was going on? He had finally waited for Ye Ling to come online, and in the time it took him to teleport to another map, she had gone offline.
Chu Tian was extremely frustrated. He glanced at his private messages.
His eyes lit up. It turned out she had sent him a private message.
The next second, he saw the few words Meng Xiaomiao sent, and Chu Tian was struck by lightning, his body starting to tremble.
Meng Xiaomiao: "On November 26th, the eight major families will hold their ten-year family ranking battle at the Luo family's territory in the Taihang Mountains. After the battle, Luo Luo will get engaged to the champion! The Ninth Division will be invited as guest participants. I received news that Luo Luo is being forced into this, but if your strength is insufficient, don't go. You'll die!"
Chu Tian stared at the short message repeatedly, his whole body trembling.
November 26th...
Today was November 5th, with twenty-one days remaining.
Luo Luo was going to be engaged...
She was being forced...
What should he do?
The Ninth Division would be invited, but they might not necessarily send him.
Where was the Luo family's territory? The Taihang Mountains?
The Taihang Mountains were too vast, where would he find it?
The brief message provided very limited information.
Senior Ye Ling, couldn't you stay online a little longer and give me more detailed information?
At this moment, Chu Tian no longer had the mood to stay in Tiandao. He chose to leave the game.
"Kid, don't be in a hurry!" Dao Tian's sudden voice chimed in.
Chu Tian froze and quickly canceled the exit game countdown.
"Old man, I want to become stronger, is there any way?" Chu Tian asked with a somewhat cold voice, quickly.
He knew that even if he went to the Luo family's territory now, the chance of rescuing Luo Luo would be slim.
Because in Ye Ling's message, the last sentence was a warning not to find Luo Luo if his strength was insufficient.
But how could Chu Tian not go?
Now that Dao Tian was speaking to him, he quickly asked the most important question: how to become stronger.
"Twenty days is really too short. It's unlikely to make the sapling in your body quickly pass through the Divine Platform.
However, your burst of power is quite good, but without the supplement of external abilities, your 'Qi' is insufficient to support multiple expenditures.
These days, you should focus on improving your level. Increasing your level can increase your 'Qi' storage capacity.
During the day, you can find those three little fellows to practice with and improve your techniques.
I assume their so-called ranking battle should be a competition among the younger generation.
I suggest you better fight on the arena, don't think about forcefully breaking in and taking that little girl out.
In your world, there are still many hidden old monsters.
However, how to sneak in is something you'll have to figure out yourself."
After Dao Tian finished speaking, Chu Tian calmed down a lot.
He didn't know how much his strength could improve in twenty days.
Entering Tiandao every day was a must. So, during this period, he would focus on leveling up.
He hoped no one would be foolish enough to disturb his leveling.
As for improving his combat skills, it wouldn't be much of an improvement in a day or two.
He could only try his best.
The most important thing now was how to get a chance to compete.
The best way was to obtain the guest spot from the Ninth Division.
However, after returning this time, their M team captain, Ye Ling, had left.
The entire M team was currently out of contact with the Ninth Division.
He could only try to establish contact with the Ninth Division first, preferably to contact Elder Xu, whom Ye Ling always mentioned.
He seemed to be named Xu Chen and was the current highest leader of the Ninth Division.
It was currently deep into the night outside, so he could only discuss it with Gao Kai and the others tomorrow.
Therefore, he would go leveling now.
With that thought, Chu Tian ran out of the teleportation array in Four Seasons City.
Coming here was the right decision.
Before, he had only considered that after offending so many guilds in Black Soil City, he could no longer show off there.
Although Black Soil City had the Qingcheng Guild as an ally, they probably wouldn't dare to openly help him at a critical moment.
After all, for the sake of Chu Tian alone, offending so many "local powers," how could Qingcheng continue to operate in Black Soil City in the future?
The reason Chu Tian felt he had come to the right place in Four Seasons City was because of one advantage here.
That was that the monsters that spawned here were very suitable for leveling.
Most of the monsters here were plant-type monsters, with low HP but strong attack power.
The monster density was extremely high, and there was a place here that was a paradise for leveling.
For Chu Tian, no matter how strong their attack power was, monsters of the same level couldn't break his defense, unless they were Boss level.
He wasn't going to fight Bosses of the same level now.
If he wanted to fight, he would fight Bosses of a higher level; that would be more satisfying experience-wise.
Of course, if you were a fire-element player, it would be even better, as it would greatly speed up monster killing.
Plant-based creatures had damage bonuses from fire magic.
Therefore, many players who played Fire Mages would travel from Black Soil City and Shengjing City to come here.
At this moment, the most common players seen in Four Seasons City were mages, specifically fire mages.
The place Chu Tian thought of, which was called a leveling paradise, was an area with monsters of level forty to sixty.
It was named 'Life Greenhouse.'
There were high-density monster groups there. Although the level suppression would be quite severe for Chu Tian going there now.
However, it offered high rewards for killing monsters of a higher level, coupled with the bonus from the God-Tier Talent [Growth].
The experience gained would skyrocket.
Chu Tian secretly sighed, wishing he was a fire mage.
He glanced at his current level; it was still thirty-four, but the experience was already at 94%.
Only 6% more to reach level thirty-five.
Originally, Chu Tian had planned to go to the Slaughterer faction to slack off at level thirty-five.
It seemed that matter would have to be postponed.
"Level thirty-five... Huh..."
Chu Tian muttered, and suddenly his eyes lit up, a joy filling his heart.
