Chapter 65 - Duke (2/2)

Just as Duke was going to leave the arena, he heard a beeping sound. He widened his eyes in excitement: this was a System Notification, and what's more one that focused on the Lord's rankings! Being such a seeker for new information, Duke had long since bought items that allowed him to receive notifications about all kinds of matters.

The Lord rankings was one of them.

Duke excitedly called the system menu and went into the information tab. There, the list of Lord rankings was displayed in front of him. He frowned: there was no change amongst the top 10 Lords, so why did the System Notification beep so loudly? He had programmed it to have it only beep as loud as it had when something extremely important happened. For example, last time it had been when the Sovereign Dragonheart had been surpassed by the Sovereign Kenshin in the Nation Lord rankings... so why would it...

Then, as he thought that, a thought dawned upon him. Duke paled.

'Could it be...'

”Search for Lord, Peerless Dao Master!”

Whenever Duke had tried this action earlier, he had been met with the cold message from the System, announcing that no such user held the position of Lord. This time, however, ten seconds passed and no such message had appeared.

Finally, after ten more seconds, the screen refreshed as another System Notice rang in his ears!

[Ding! Information about user Peerless Dao Master acquired.]

Duke stared wide-eyed at the information before him: after just a little time had passed from the bold and confident announcement, Peerless Dao Master had truly let his actions speak instead of words!

[Peerless Dao Master: Position - Lord;

Lord Ranking - 3767/3860]

He had actually become a Lord! How much time had passed since the world had been looking down on that man because of his level? Minutes? Hours?

Despite the ranking being low due to his level, that was not what had shocked Duke so much. After all, anybody not being a Lord was stuck under level 50. What surprised him however was the fact that, even after having just become a Lord and having the limiter on his level removed, he was still not the bottom of the list!

The lowest level Lord was a guy at level 47. A few hours prior, Peerless Dao Master had been under level 25. And yet, Peerless Dao Master was not in the last place, meaning he was higher than level 47, but he also was higher than the last place by a hundred spots! What did this mean? It meant that the mysterious sovereign had gained more than twenty levels in just a few hours!

Duke cleared his voice and then read the information displayed on the glowing screen out aloud, ”Peerless Dao Master: Position, Lord; Lord Ranking, 3767/3860; ...”
