Ah! I looked dumbstruck at Floating Ice City’s current rankings. The top ten actually had similar names, were they related? Looks like this dominating family wanted to monopolise the top ten rankings.
Of course, the mountain would not show the water within.
(TLN: Chinese idiom saying people with real skills would not show off but keep it to themselves)
Ghost Valley, this leveling maniac. Almost everyday, his sleeping time was compressed to three hours. This guy was killed by me N times, yet here he was, ranked in the top ten. He was truly worthy of the t.i.tle of a leveling maniac.
As for me, the person who grabbed my attention the most was Wind Fantasy, the Ranger. This ranger’s profession was not an ordinary one, but a Radiant Ranger. Also his level was the the highest, far surpa.s.sing those below him. Definitely a peak-level master, whose reputation in the official forums skyrocketed. Wind Fantasy’s rank was first not only in Floating Ice City; he could even contend for the top three in China and all of its nine cities!
This person was truly worthy of attention.He also had a high possibility of becoming the most dominant force in Floating Ice City; Ancient Sword Dream’s biggest obstruction!
In the Ranking Board, amongst the Ancient Sword Dream’s Four elders, Sun Moon Star Dust, Xu Yang the Blazing Sun was the highest leveled, placed at 6th place of the Ranking Board. This brat seemed to be playing with his life to level up!
My impression towards Xu Yang, Mu Rong Ming Yue and the last member of the four elders were not very good. About half a year ago, during He Yi’s birthday, the three of them had agreed with me to send a “Hap-py Birth-day” for He Yi, each of us sending one syllable. I was supposed to send a “day”, but in the end, those three didn’t even send the rest.
You can imagine how He Yi looked at me strangely the next day.

This task’s requirement of killing of 200 skeletons was not really that much, but surprisingly the difficult part was collecting the skeleton fingers. After a full 7-8 hours of killing and into the next day, I was still short by 3 skeleton fingers.
All the Briar Skeleton in the cemetery’s surroundings were completely annihilated by me. But on a pile of bones stood a mighty Undead Knight, hand on his sword, proud and upright, standing at the center. This must be the Undead Knight, Cyan Rain! The quest’s final target!
Right now, I didn’t dare to kill him alone. I had already risen to level 20 and entered the top 100 of Floating Ice City again finally. After spending another half an hour, two skeleton fingers were dropped. Only one more to go until I could get reinforcements; my mentor, the Undead Swordmaster Su Lun would help me kill the BOSS together!
Looking at the time, it’s 10:30 am. I felt no trace of weariness, so I decided to continue killing!

Shanghai, in the bustling commercial district. A conference room in a unique high-rise office building.
About 7-8 elite people were sitting around the table discussing business matters. Sitting at the very end was a young woman, dressed in a brown suit with a badge saying: “He Yi”.
“Eve? It’s your turn. What is your view?” Urged a middle aged man to the beauty.
Unfortunately, He Yi was lost in thought, staring out the window at the sky, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
“EVE, what do you think about this month’s decreasing performance? ”
“EVE?”

As the group of directors watched , He Yi’s long eyelashes slowly lowered. A line of tears trickled down her tired snow white face. With her eyes closed, her mouth trembled out: “But Lu Chen&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;..Lu Chen he&h.e.l.lip;..”
