While charging steep admission fees, they also set up correspondingly rare clearance rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even for ordinary awakeners, [Killing Grounds] was an incredible opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even more geniuses had come as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they pursued wasn’t merely loot, but to create history—to become the banner of the younger generation and harvest massive fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet whether it was Farant... or Kirabi of the Stonebrawn Legion, both ultimately fell before the first floor’s final boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirabi, having left the giant bubble, walked up to Farant on his own initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Farant. Looks like our experiences were pretty much the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the strength of our era... we’re probably destined to never pass the first floor of [Killing Grounds].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thinking about it now... it really is despairing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farant nodded deeply in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, he had unleashed everything he had. Even so, he still wasn’t a match for the floor boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That man with countless masks was, without a doubt, the most troublesome opponent Farant had ever faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Farant said hoarsely. \"I used to think the history books exaggerated a lot about Maskmaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now it seems Maskmaster really did surpass us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s hard to imagine—if a genius like that had lived to the present day, how terrifying would his strength have become?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirabi let out a soft sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then, Maskmaster carried the name of Chosen One... and that was why he fell in a wild Instance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But looking at him now, he clearly wasn’t the Chosen One.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, I’m really curious... just how strong is the real Chosen One supposed to be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farant stared blankly at the towering bubble structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe Chosen One only exists in legends,\" he murmured. \"Maybe it’s just... a legend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Farant nor Kirabi bothered to lower their voices, so their conversation immediately sparked discussion among the surrounding awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Lord Farant and Lord Kirabi can’t clear the first floor... looks like no one among the ten thousand races can do it anytime soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, I really want to see someone clear the first floor—but it’ll probably take at least twenty years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty years? You might not see it in a hundred!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone sighed and lamented—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa’s face had already turned deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Farant and Kirabi couldn’t clear the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her quest required clearing ten floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe... she should just give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasting time. No hope at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we leave?\" Alyssa said quietly, voice heavy. \"I don’t think there’s any hope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caelan... thank you for being willing to help me, but forget it. It’s impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan, however, remained perfectly calm. He grabbed Alyssa’s ice-cold hand, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re already here. Might as well try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve got a feeling this [Killing Grounds] is... kind of interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, without giving her room to argue, Caelan pulled Alyssa into the nearest bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battles that followed didn’t even require Alyssa to lift a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan charged at the front, cutting through bubble after bubble, until they reached the giant bubble where the floor boss waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the instant Alyssa saw the boss clearly, her expression turned ugly in a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful—it’s Maskmaster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan nodded lightly, unconcerned. Holding his sword one-handed, he took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maskmaster suddenly seemed to split. From one person, he became two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is completely over...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa shut her eyes in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just one Maskmaster, maybe—maybe—she and Caelan could fight their way through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had completely overlooked [Killing Grounds]’ rules:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each challenger must face the floor boss separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if she and Caelan wanted to clear as a party, they had to kill two Maskmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa gripped her lance so tightly her knuckles turned white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan, on the other hand, strolled forward as if nothing mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, don’t just stand there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re on a schedule. Let’s get it done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa drew a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they’d come this far, there was no point overthinking it. Just fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caelan,\" she said, voice tense, \"in a moment you need to restrain Maskmaster—don’t let them change masks. Leave the rest to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Alyssa cast a buff over her lance and prepared to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Caelan simply waved a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to make it complicated. It’s just a wave of the hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Caelan’s figure vanished from where he stood—then instantly appeared behind the two Maskmasters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of sword-light streaked across the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Maskmasters were nearly cut in half at the waist in the blink of an eye!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa stared, completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan was unbelievably fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be... he had just killed Maskmaster that easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality proved Alyssa had been too optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a former peak powerhouse, Maskmaster’s methods were far beyond what ordinary people could imagine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment Caelan’s slash landed, the two Maskmasters’ bodies collapsed rapidly—shattering like broken glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, two new figures appeared in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left behind on the ground were only two masks—sliced apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan smiled faintly, his gaze gliding over the broken masks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting. You didn’t get one-shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to sharpen my swordsmanship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Caelan tightened his grip on his sword and charged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Maskmasters clearly realized Caelan wasn’t easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they began to peel masks from their faces—one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time a mask came off, another Maskmaster shadow appeared beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths, there were already twelve shadows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa’s face went even paler. She clenched her lance, voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caelan—I’ll help you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-06-03T07:00:23.169Z","2026-06-03T07:00:29.516Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c673127018764f9c3111651729f99a9fefa58e28aceff4bec3f0b8cf84df8ab","max-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-chapter-79","max-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-chapter-77",385,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmax-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-cover.jpg"]
