Chapter 1131

Su Sheng naturally wouldn't care about the Foreign Server's reaction; after the game time was up, he logged off.

During the following period, there was no real stir; the servers of various nations all fell into a wave of level‑up frenzy.

Can't help it, Su Sheng's presence at level 80 sharply stimulated the nerves of all Zhu Lu Game players.

Take the Domestic Server as an example: friction still exists between guilds, but it's kept within controllable bounds; leveling is the top priority.

As for our Mo Wen Qianchen god, he is naturally diligently completing his Fourth Rebirth task.

A task that takes over a month—Su Sheng is naturally extremely introverted, but what else can be done?

Nearly a month slipped by quietly, and within the Zhu Lu Game, it can be said that the second level‑80 player arrived!!

It turned out to be the Shen Wang, who has always been the Eternal Second!

Under the Vanguard Squad's rush‑level mode, the Shen Wang finally reached level 80.

Besides that, during this period, raid‑type missions were occasionally reported.

Guilds in various nations have triggered raid missions to some extent, which can be seen as a warm‑up for the servers' complete integration.

It was reported that a guild from Mao Xiong Nation triggered a mission and caused a ruckus on a United Server in the Middle East.

Furthermore, some other nations' servers had guilds trigger missions, but without exception, none chose the Huaxia server to cause trouble, since Huaxia's ferocity is now evident to all.

So far, no one has dared to come over and comb a tiger's whisker yet.

Moreover, on the Domestic Server, the Shenhua Guild had terrible luck, triggering a raid mission; they chose the Little Days Server, and although they didn't breach the city, they still caused a big ruckus with impressive battle records.

Other than that, no other major events occurred.

However, at this moment Su Sheng felt a bit annoyed… because the Shen Wang was standing right in front of him, smiling broadly at Su Sheng.

"Hehe, Chairman Mo Wen, does this Eternal Second finally count as having caught up?"

The Shen Wang chuckled.

Su Sheng rolled his eyes: "You're still second."

Although both are now level 80, because Su Sheng reached 80 first, the later‑arriving Shen Wang remains in second place.

Moreover, Su Sheng can't level up right now, but his experience is at 99%! Not being able to break past level 80 doesn't mean he can't gain experience; it's just that the XP is stuck in the final 1% and can't trigger a level‑up.

So Su Sheng, despite not leveling, still holds the top rank!

At that point the Shen Wang chuckled: "I know your Fourth Rebirth task is troublesome, but mine is quick—I'll be back in a flash!"

After saying that, the Shen Wang rode his terrain dragon leisurely toward the distance, clearly to undertake his own dedicated quest, and from his demeanor it seemed that quest wasn't very hard.

Only on his way out, he happened to see Su Sheng hunting Elite Monsters here.

Since they're now in a cooperative relationship, for that likely Solidified Instance mission, Su Sheng once vented in the party about his own dedicated quest; after all, there's nothing confidential or important, exposing it has no impact—could anyone at this stage still come to Huangcheng to stop Su Sheng from farming Elite Monsters?!

As a result, the Shen Wang got excited, as if he saw a chance to finally catch up to Su Sheng and shed the Eternal Second title!

Su Sheng couldn't help but pout; even though it's the same Hidden Class, why is every dedicated quest for his Hidden Class so over‑the‑top? The last dedicated quest was a solo dungeon—though the rewards were decent, the difficulty was excessive, and the skill trials so far have been wildly varied, making one's scalp tingle!

Nevertheless, Su Sheng glanced at the Shen Wang's back and smiled faintly—want to shed the Eternal Second identity? Not that easy!

Su Sheng has been farming here in Huangcheng for almost a full month; although the 5,000 Elite units aren't fully cleared yet, they're close.

In a few more days he'll finish farming, and with the job‑change task completed his experience will be at 99%, allowing him to jump to level 81. So the Shen Wang should just be content staying in his second place!

If it weren't for this Fourth Rebirth task being stuck, Su Sheng would have already reached level 81 on the Bangzi Server! Back then, during the Bangzi Nation city‑breach incident, Wu Zhaodi, Li Wenwan, and Huang Mingxin, who went together, all leveled up, so it shouldn't take long before the two of them also hit level 80!

Now it's Xingchen's level that's lagging; once Xingchen reaches level 80 and completes the Fourth Rebirth, that task can be done!

At this moment, right in front of Su Sheng, a level‑82 Elite Monster spawned!

Su Sheng didn't hesitate! He directly commanded his mounted Suanni to charge!

Roar—!

The Suanni let out a furious roar! Then a massive white plume surged up behind it, outlining a huge silhouette!

It turned out to be a giant version of the Suanni, even more imposing in detail!

The massive beast then raised its forelimb and slammed it onto the Elite Monster!

Boom Boom Boom!!

It was three swift slaps! The terrifying damage combined with size suppression left the Elite Monster stunned!

Su Sheng didn't flinch! He brandished his long spear like a dragon!

Three strikes, five foes down!

Mission objective count +1!

"Let's go! Next one!" Su Sheng patted the head of his mounted Suanni.

The previous skill was the Suanni's level‑70 ability!

Divine Beast Trample!

Form into a massive true form!

Can strike three times!

Each hit deals 300% physical damage in a 100×100 area!

Massive AOE skill! Truly a war‑god technique!

During this time, although Su Sheng can't level up, the Suanni can!

Su Sheng allocated all his experience to the Suanni, and since he hadn't given the Suanni any XP while pushing for level 80, its level is now soaring.

The Suanni is now level 71 and about to hit 72.

Attack attribute reached 6,540! Defense at 8,370! HP at 135,500!

Honestly, aside from HP, the other base stats aren't that exaggerated compared to mainstream players!

But don't forget the Suanni is a pet! Other regular pet stats that are half of the Suanni's are already elite pets, worth a fortune!

Moreover, the Suanni's weirdness as a Mountain Sea Divine Beast never lies in its base stats!

The Suanni's skill traits make Su Sheng's eyes water with greed!

Indeed, that's a genuine eye craving, not a fake one; after all, Su Sheng is already level 80, yet he has no AoE skill, only the Divine Artifact long spear in his hand provides an AoE with an extremely long cooldown. What about the Suanni?

Fireworks Dragon Breath, Dragon Might Roar, and now the Divine Beast Trample—Su Sheng is truly envious; the "people are no match for pets" Su Sheng wants an AoE skill!

All I can say is tears… If I had that many AoE skills back on the Bangzi Server, my Loot Points would have multiplied several times.

Keep grinding monsters!

He turned his gaze again to a freshly spawned Elite Monster!

Honestly, Huangcheng truly lives up to being a massive map that can support billions of players across the server leveling up; the monster density and spawn rate are both extremely fast!

Moreover, right now no one in Huangcheng is even contesting monster spawns, otherwise Su Sheng would have to take longer to complete the quest!

Su Sheng, while hoping that completing his Fourth Rebirth quest would grant him an AoE skill, continued to grind monsters diligently!

Then, as the game day was about to end, Su Sheng saw the smiling Shen Wang leisurely riding his ground‑walking dragon mount, returning with an NPC player also beaming.

"Hehe, Mo Wen Chairman, keep it up, I've finished my quest here!" Shen Wang said, smiling brightly at Su Sheng.

Su Sheng used a Shield Strike, knocking the monster in front of him into Dizziness Status, then without looking back, stuck up a middle finger at Shen Wang!

"You kid are just jealous, hehe~" Shen Wang ignored Su Sheng's middle finger, and rode toward Huangcheng with the NPC.

Su Sheng shook his head slightly, unsure what exactly Shen Wang's Hidden Class was; a warrior player can engage in Mounted Combat, and the Fourth Rebirth quest seems that easy.

The transition quests for Hidden Classes versus the myriad of ordinary class quests that the mentor releases are all different and varied.

Su Sheng also asked Chen Guan, as well as Huan Jie and others, about their transition quests.

Among them, Huan Jie, Lu Zhe, and Li Wenwan's transition quests are relatively harder.

Next are the transition quests of Lao Ba, Chen Guan, and Shen Yang…

The easiest are Wang Shan and Wu Zhaodi…

But my own transition quest is unique and harder than theirs.

Although the quests are myriad, this is the aggregated data estimated from all of them.

When the game time ended, Su Sheng logged off.

When he logged in the next day.

That laid‑back Shen Wang kid leisurely showed up again at the Training Spot next to Su Sheng to grind monsters.

And he flamboyantly displayed his name, with a Fourth Rebirth title hanging behind it.

Su Sheng was speechless; how had he never noticed that Shen Wang was this despicable before?

But Shen Wang didn't stay long; he quickly used a Return Journey Scroll to leave.

Seeing Shen Wang pull out the Return Journey Scroll, Su Sheng finally closed the Private Chat with satisfaction.

Let you little brat show off!

As for where Shen Wang went? Naturally, Li Wenwan called him back to Main City to lead the rest of the Vanguard Squad into another Dungeon!

Although Li Wenwan resides in the Silver Emperor, she is still the daughter of the Li Group, the backing corporation of Huan Yu Guild; as long as no principles are violated, Shen Wang must still save face for Li Wenwan.

Also, Chen and the other two haven't reached level 80 yet; now that Shen Wang has successfully transitioned, if he wants to level up, after level 80 any further upgrades will just be a grind of time.

But now that Shen Wang's attributes have surged after the transition at level 80, his return to help with the Dungeon will naturally speed up the clear time dramatically.

If Su Sheng weren't stuck on his own transition quest, he would have already gone back to lead the Vanguard Squad.

Another day passed.

The next day as soon as he logged in, Su Sheng received news that yesterday the Vanguard Squad—Wu Zhaodi, Xingchen, Shen Wang, Huang Mingxin, Li Wenwan, plus five elite members drawn from three guilds forming a ten‑person team—failed the Dungeon.

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow, surprised that a Fourth Rebirth player leading a Main City‑stage Dungeon could still fail?

After asking around, Su Sheng learned it was intentional… after all, that Dungeon allows three retries.

Because Xingchen's Dawnstar Guild spawned a Loot Points quest!

Xingchen plans to lead the team to cause trouble, aiming to capture a Main City!

Thus, Xingchen's side borrowed many Siege Puppets from the Yanhuang Guild, bought numerous siege bombs, and went to Huan Yu Guild to borrow a catapult.

Currently Xingchen is the lowest‑level member, but he's eyeing it; if he can capture a Main City, he'll receive the level‑up reward.

Su Sheng had nothing to say about it, just hoped he'd succeed.

Only if they quickly reach level 80 can that quest be fulfilled promptly.

At present, my Fourth Rebirth quest is finally close to completion!

Su Sheng looked at this quest that had literally depressed him for over a month, feeling truly gloomy.

Another three‑plus hours of game time passed, and no news came from the Dawnstar Guild.

Su Sheng did see a glimmer of victory.

Elite Monster count: 4999/5000

The last one!

Come on!

Su Sheng happily watched a wandering Elite Monster not far away.

"Let's kill it!"

The Suanni, together with Su Sheng, triggered a Leap!

As the last Elite Monster's HP emptied, a pleasant system notification rang in Su Sheng's ears.

Ding~

Congratulations, player, on completing the quest, Awakened Lion!

Obtained new title: Awakened Lion

Awakened Lion title bonus: Strength +800, Constitution +800, HP +8000!

A simple, brute‑force boost; just these stats are comparable to a decent legendary item.

Meanwhile, Su Sheng's title also changed to Awakened Lion.

I guess the next stage is the Lion King, right?

However, Su Sheng didn't rush to check his attributes; instead, he looked at the next system notification.

Ding~

Congratulations, player, you have comprehended the skill: Awakening Lion Roar!

Su Sheng eagerly opened his skill bar.

Awakening Lion Roar

The lion's roar that has preliminarily awakened the King's Heart carries a hint of kingly majesty.

Effect: targets in a 30×30 to 300×300 area, dealing 100%-1000% damage.

Su Sheng looked at this skill and couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

Finally!!

I finally have an AOE skill!!

Moreover, this skill is really awesome, and its power is still controllable!

That's pretty good.

Ding~

At that moment, another system notification came...
