………………

Ferocious!

Truly ferocious!

And from now on he won't need a shield anymore…

Hmm, unless he gets an even better off-hand Divine Artifact!

In truth, Luo Chenyu didn't know the exact value of a Divine Artifact, but anything that could be called a Divine Artifact was absolutely the rarest of treasures.

After this trip to the 【Ninefold Abyss】, he had also come to understand a few things.

He was afraid that Guardian Dong Xuanmo was deliberately concealing the true situation of the 【Ninefold Abyss】.

And the first human the Lord of Flame Demons mentioned — that was one hundred percent Guardian Dong Xuanmo.

He wanted to find a chance to sound Dong Xuanmo out about the Lord of Flame Demons.

Of course, the most important thing was to figure out the secret of the 【Eternal Token】.

After what the Lord of Flame Demons said, he didn't even dare enter the Eternal Arena.

"If I get a chance to visit the Blood Wall, maybe with the special nature of a Grade 'internet celebrity,' I might even get to see the Guardian!"

With that thought, Luo Chenyu checked his Ninefold Abyss points…

Only a pitiful little over 100,000 left.

Immediately after…

He thought it over and directly exchanged for two Tier 5 defensive warrior skills.

His third class advancement was coming up soon; he had to prepare.

Tier 5 skills really were expensive — so expensive he couldn't even afford a single special skill.

He could only settle for the next best thing, choosing 【Sacrifice】 and 【Taunt】!

The former sacrificed his own HP to grant teammates a shield — an excellent team-protection skill.

The latter was a hard crowd-control, definitely strengthening the control effect of 【Steel Shield】.

Both were quite good.

"I wonder how many floors that Wang family's little bastard has climbed?"

A strange smile curled at the corner of Luo Chenyu's mouth — he really wanted to see that guy's expression when he met him. It was sure to be satisfying!

………………

A few minutes earlier.

But while others were still sighing over Luo Chenyu becoming "World's Number One"…

Wu Dao had completely extinguished the resentment in his heart… mainly because, no matter how proud he was, he couldn't bring himself to resent a talent like Luo Chenyu.

By comparison, Luo Chenyu's growth potential exceeded Wang Ziquan's by who knows how much.

He knew very well that Wang Ziquan had also climbed the 【Ninefold Abyss】, and had likewise gotten stuck at floor 200, unable to pass it.

In terms of strength or potential, Wang Ziquan couldn't compare to Luo Chenyu.

Schemes had already begun to stir in Wu Dao's heart.

"If I get the chance, I must befriend him."

Suddenly.

A violent rumbling and exclamations suddenly reached his ears.

"Holy sh*t — is there a BUG? How could God Luo suddenly jump to floor 400??"

"Are you crazy? He only just passed floor 276 not long ago — how is that possible?"

"Wait, that's not right — why does the leaderboard only show one floor 400, with nothing else displayed?"

"Begging for a knowledgeable big shot to explain!"

"Could it be that the 【Ninefold Abyss】 only goes up to floor 400?"

"Huh? Only floor 400? That can't be right — didn't the experts say the 【Ninefold Abyss】 is endless?"

"You actually believe what the experts say?"

"Let's wait and see — if God Luo comes out within an hour or his floor count changes, we'll have our answer!"

"Sigh… still have to wait, and it's almost midnight… going home definitely means getting a scolding from the wife!"

"If she scolds you, can't you talk back? And if you can't out-scold her, can't you at least fight back?"

"The problem is… I can't outcurse her, and I can't beat her either—she's an instructor at the Sword Dao Training Center!"

"Hiss…"

While the others, unaware of the inside story, buzzed with discussion, An Chen quietly focused his attention on Wang Ziquan and his son.

He knew that the news Old Xu had leaked must have reached their ears.

Given Wang Meng's temperament, he would surely retaliate fiercely.

He would not even hesitate to tear off all pretense.

Moreover, with no time to spare up above for matters in a small city like Longshan, the Wang father and son would grow even more reckless.

Tonight's battle was already inevitable.

The only uncertainty was how it would begin.

"Xiaoyu, these past years have wronged you far too much!"

An Chen thought of Kuang Luo and the Luo family couple, and could only sigh inwardly.

"Tonight, everything from the past—I'll take it all back for you!"

Too much of the past was tangled up in all of this.

But tonight…

He was certain he could at least collect some interest.

His trump card was not merely a Tier 7 professional!

Sharing the same thought as An Chen, Wang Meng and Wang Ziquan were also waiting, and had even begun to gather their strength.

The moment Luo Chenyu stepped out, "those people" would strike him down with the force of a thunderbolt.

Originally.

Wang Meng had wanted to act personally, to avenge his "unfilial son."

But that idea was stopped by Yin Man and Wang Ziquan working together—once he struck and killed Luo Chenyu, they too would have to bear a catastrophic disaster.
