Chapter 271

Shen Xing was satisfied and led his team to begin the operation again.

Having gained experience from the previous two attempts, they became more skilled.

The speed at which they jumped on the lotus leaves increased, and the number of monsters they killed also increased.

Twenty minutes later, the rankings on this 'Lotus Pond' underwent a significant change.

[First Place: Miranda Murphy, Current Points: 8]

[Second Place: Shengzhi, Current Points: 7]

[Third Place: Shen Xing, Current Points: 6]

[Fourth place...]

On the leaderboard, Shen Xing has risen to third place.

At this rate, maintaining a top-ten position before the end shouldn't be difficult.

Many lords also noticed the changes in the rankings.

"Miranda... I remember she's a genius lord from the Orchid Nation. I never expected to be matched with her on the same map."

"The name Shen Xing sounds familiar. Could he be the one who recently topped both lists?"

"That's him! I just saw a guy in a wheelchair and thought he was some kind of show-off!"

"As expected of the number one player in the Heavenly Star Nation, I remember he only recently broke through to the Tier Two Transcendent, yet he can already hold his own against veteran lords like Miranda."

"That's right, I even saw several veteran Tier Two lords, their names are all after Shen Xing's."

"..."

The Common lords were buzzing with discussion.

Meanwhile, another group of veteran lords felt a sense of pressure as they looked at the name that loomed over them.

Prior to this, many lords on this map had also noticed Shen Xing's name.

Although it was somewhat unexpected, I didn't take it too seriously.

After all, everyone knows that this man was just a novice lord who had recently started out in the game.

They are seasoned veterans who have been developing at the Tier Two for many years; how could a newcomer who has only broken through less than half a month ago compare?

It turns out that this person is much stronger than they imagined.

Shen Xing was unaware of what these people were thinking; instead, he was happily counting his spoils.

In twenty minutes, they killed a total of five 'Water Spirit'.

Total earned:

Growth Water Droplet (50 years) * 2

War Ancient Tree Seed (Gold) *3

Rain and Dew Pearl *2

Treant Guardian Seed *11

"That feels great. As expected of an event-exclusive dungeon, the drop rate is really high."

A satisfied smile appeared on Lord Shen's face, and his heart was filled with even more motivation.

Just as he was about to continue exploring, a group of figures jumped onto the lotus leaf they were on and quickly approached.

Fordring and Hellscream immediately gripped their weapons, ready for battle.

The other members were also on high alert.

"Mr. Shen Xing, please don't be nervous. I'm not here to cause you trouble."

A tall, mature female lord with a short animal skin skirt tied around her waist and full, long legs walked in with a smile.

Shen Xing leaned back in her wheelchair and calmly asked, "What do you want?"

The female lord still smiled, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Emma, and I'm currently seventh on the leaderboard."

"I came here this time to team up with you and get more points together."

Shen Xing's expression was strange. "Is it really necessary to form a team? Those Water Elemental aren't that strong."

She smiled slightly and patiently explained, "The monsters on the first floor are indeed not strong, but the strength of the monsters on each subsequent floor increases dramatically."

"Furthermore, according to rumors, the top ten lords of the same secret realm will most likely be matched together when entering the next level."

"Therefore, I want to establish an alliance with Lord Shen Xing as soon as possible, so that we can cooperate more effectively later."

"If there's an opportunity, we could also collaborate offline."

As she said her last sentence, she gave him a meaningful look, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then looked at her intently for a while.

This woman was quite attractive, with the classic face of a Western noblewoman and an air of elegance and maturity.

Beneath the animal-skin skirt, her thighs were full and long, her calves slender and straight, her figure curvaceous and alluring—she was an exceptionally beautiful young woman.

The other party also noticed Shen Xing's scrutiny, and instead of showing any resistance, they openly displayed their assets.

Shen Xing withdrew his gaze and shook his head, saying, "Sorry, you should go find someone else."

No way, how could he possibly be seduced by such a low-level seduction technique?

He was destined to become the strongest Mist Lord.

Of course, he didn't refuse because of the dangerous aura emanating from the red-haired mage beside him.

The female lord was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her tactic to have no effect on him.

She hesitated, as if she wanted to try again.

At that moment, a pair of scarlet eyes looked over, filled with an almost insatiable heat, causing the female lord to tremble.

She gave an awkward smile and said, "Sorry to bother you."

"If Lord Shen Xing needs anything, please feel free to contact me anytime."

After saying this, he led his troops and turned to leave the lotus leaf patch.

Shen Xing watched her figure disappear into the sea of lotus leaves before gradually withdrawing his gaze.

Then, he continued to Hellscream and the others, exploring the vast 'Lotus Pond'.

Time passed slowly, and soon another half hour had gone by.

During this time, he found eight more 'Water Spirit', and after successfully defeating them, they dropped a lot of good items.

This includes 3 [Growth Water Droplet (50 Years)], bringing my total to 5, which is quite impressive.

Moreover, since Shen Xing rejected the female lord's 'team-up' invitation, no one has come looking for him.

There were no troublemakers.

After all, these lords weren't fools; anyone with eyes could see just how powerful this person was.

He doesn't look like someone who has just broken through to the Tier Two Transcendent level at all.

Especially the fire mage next to him, whose Fireball Spell were comparable to nuclear explosions.

Most of the lords on the field were not confident that they could withstand an attack of this level.

In addition, the scene from the last global live broadcast, where the mage burned through the entire illusion with a single fire, is still fresh in everyone's mind.

No one dared to deliberately provoke this trouble.

At this moment, there are less than five minutes left before the first floor officially ends.

I glanced at the rankings.

[Lotus Pond Secret Realm - First Floor]

[First Place: Miranda Murphy, Current Points: 17]

[Second Place: Shengzhi, Current Points: 16]

[Third Place: Li Dongxi, 14 points]

[Fourth Place: Shen Xing, Points 14]

[Fifth place...]

[Remaining time: 03 minutes and 56 seconds...]

"With four minutes left, advancing should be a sure thing."

Shen Xing withdrew his gaze and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, without stopping, he led the team to the next lotus leaf.

Even though there are only a few minutes left, we can't waste them. If we find a 'Water Spirit', we might get a lot of good stuff.

Just as they jumped onto the next lotus leaf, three other teams leaped over from different directions.

The leaders were three lords from different countries.

They led their troops, their eyes fixed on the figure in the wheelchair, and surrounded him from different directions.

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes, realizing that the visitor was up to no good.

I was just saying that these lords were quite clever, that no one was causing trouble, but in the blink of an eye, three of them showed up.

Fine, let's pretend he didn't say anything.

"Hello, are you Shen Xing?" one of the Asian lords with yellow skin asked politely.

"What's up?" Shen Xing glanced at him.

"Someone paid us to team up and eliminate you, so sorry."

Shen Xing thought to himself, "You're quite polite, aren't you? You even greeted me before you made a move."

"Can you tell me who paid you to deal with me?" Shen Xing asked.

"Yes..." The man was about to speak when someone next to him immediately interrupted him.

"Why waste words with him? Time's almost up. If we don't finish the task soon, this guy will move on to the next level."

The other two nodded in agreement, knowing that time was of the essence.

"Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three lords commanded their troops and charged in from three directions.

The other lords nearby also noticed this scene, and they all stopped what they were doing, looking on with expressions of anticipation.

After all, as the top-ranked player on both lists not long ago, Shen Xing's every move has attracted a lot of attention.
