The next morning.

Lu Ran and his team arrived at the dungeon hall.

"Lu Ran, you go tackle the Endless Tower, and we'll keep grinding," Ye Hongyi said.

Lu Ran did as told.

Lei Tai stretched, yawned, and said, "Man, grinding dungeons recently has been so boring, so monotonous."

Ye Hongyi glanced at him.

"You don't have to join if you don't want to, Xinxin is protecting Lu Ran, I can handle the elites and the BOSS myself, and I'm much faster than you anyway," she said.

Upon hearing this.

Lei Tai instantly widened his eyes.

"That won't do, boring as it is, it's better than Lu Ran being monopolized by you two," he said.

At this moment.

Liu Xinxin suddenly said, "Actually, if it's too boring and we want to try something different, before Lu Ran does a team dungeon, I have a new idea that might be even faster than our usual dungeon grinding."

This made Lei Tai excited instantly.

He quickly asked, "What's the idea?"

You could tell he was really fed up with the grinding; any new method, even if it's a different style of grinding, would bring some freshness.

Liu Xinxin said, "Originally, Lu Ran's skill range is large enough that in the wilderness, it can cover a huge area and kill all the monsters inside. Grinding large areas naturally yields high experience points, but because the skill range is too large, it often mistakenly injures professionals within the range."

But now it's different!

Lu Ran has obtained the Sea-stabilizing Trident, which allows him to freely control the skill coverage area, even its shape!

"You mean, take Lu Ran to grind in the wilderness?" Lei Tai asked.

It's indeed a novel grinding method, and not as dull.

"Makes sense! Wilderness monsters have varying levels, and Lu Ran can totally tackle higher-level monsters for more experience, something impossible in dungeons!" Ye Hongyi's eyes brightened upon hearing this.

After all.

If a dungeon's level exceeds the professional's level, they can't enter.

There's no chance of grinding beyond one's level in a dungeon.

But it's different in the wilderness.

Even if it's level 60 monsters, Lu Ran can still grind them!

"However, even though dungeon grinding is mainstream for leveling up, there are also many professionals who like wilderness grinding. It's hard to find particularly suitable and unpopulated grinding spots, isn't it? How desolate must that be," Lei Tai questioned.

There are quite a few low-level areas, right outside the city.

But those monsters give too little experience for Lu Ran.

In slightly higher-level areas, particularly in the 30s and 40s to 40s and 50s range, a lot of professionals grind in the wilderness.

It's quite bustling!

Finding a large uninhabited area of even a few kilometers isn't easy.

Liu Xinxin smiled sweetly.

She said, "In Longxia, there are quite a few places like that. In the northwest, Kunlun, and the Ten Thousand Mountains in the Southern Border, very few professionals are willing to go there."

Lei Tai thought and realized she was right!

"Kunlun is in the northwest, near Death Valley, with high-level monsters and an inhospitable environment, definitely unpopulated. The Southern Border is even scarier, full of poisonous insects, poisonous monsters, evil spirits, and ferocious beasts. Some poison-induced bleeding buffs can't even be dispelled. Even my National Defense Army can't set up defenses there!" Lei Tai nodded and said.

"But in the Southern Border, those poisonous insects and the swamp and jungle area's monsters are mostly dark series. For Lu Ran, it's paradise there! Besides, there are fewer professionals than in Kunlun, and the monster levels vary, with different experience yields. Lu Ran can reap a huge amount, and this speed is definitely faster than us grinding level 25 dungeons now," Liu Xinxin said.

Her sensitivity to data is naturally unmatched by Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai.

But even so.

Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi aren't fools, they instantly understood the key.

A dozen kilometers of uninhabited area, Lu Ran's Skeleton Storm's indiscriminate sweep means not just hundreds of monsters, but thousands! Tens of thousands!

Moreover, wild monsters respawn continuously, unlike dungeons where we have to grind repeatedly.

"Good idea! Let's go to the Southern Border!" Lei Tai immediately agreed enthusiastically.

No need for boring current routine dungeon grinding, allowing Lu Ran to gain massive experience, combined with Lu Ran's Skeleton Throne skill, removing the risks, it's absolutely paradise!

At this time.

Lu Ran had already leisurely emerged from the Endless Tower.

The three guild leaders looked up at the global ranking board of the Endless Tower.

Sure enough!

Lu Ran's level had become sixty!

Quite a few people were also paying attention to this scene.

After all, the news of the Undead Mage continuing to attempt the Endless Tower yesterday afternoon has spread.

Many people were keeping an eye on it as usual.

"Haha... I guessed it right, the Undead Mage boss is at it again!"

"Sixty level checkpoint, passed just like that?"

"Yesterday, held the same level with Yu Qingcang of the Celestial Path Alliance; today, broke past sixty levels, amazing!"

"This Undead Mage is too terrifying, is this even a regular profession?"

"Can't compare with anyone, damn it, I'm only at level twenty-six!"

"He passed the sixty-level checkpoint, so are sixty-one and sixty-two even difficult?"

"Nanami, just asking if you're scared? Haha..."

...

"Why did it take a while today?" Liu Xinxin asked.

"Played around with skills, as everyone said sixty is a checkpoint, I tested the health and skill damage, but didn't play long, at most twenty seconds, then I finished with Blood Spear," Lu Ran said.

Anyway, there weren't any other professionals at the same level.

Even if there were, globally, no other professional could clear level sixty in twenty seconds.

"What were the test results?" Liu Xinxin was more concerned about the data.

"No issues, according to my estimates, without Blood Spear, using other skills, it'd take about ten minutes to clear level sixty. In this, Corpse Explosion's damage contribution is the highest, followed by Skeleton Storm. I used the Ancient Golem as a meat shield, but it wasn't very useful, since the BOSS couldn't move. I prepared the Ancient Golem in case the BOSS attacked me from a distance," Lu Ran said.

It was clear enough.

"Two Skeleton Soldiers summoned at a time, continuous Corpse Explosion, naturally, the damage contribution is high. Skeleton Storm is a large-area group skill, even if infinitely stackable, its damage isn't as high as Corpse Explosion, which is normal," Liu Xinxin explained.

She then pondered for a few seconds.

Telling Lu Ran, "Now, sixty levels, sixty-one tonight, and sixty-two tomorrow morning to surpass Nanami. Then we'll see how Nanami reacts."

Lu Ran's eyes lit up slightly.

He was looking forward to it too!

Moreover, this truly is the first global highest honor Lu Ran will receive!

The honor of being the world's number one!

"Shall we continue grinding dungeons? We should reach level 28 today, even if not, we won't be far off," Lu Ran said excitedly.

He wasn't tired of grinding at all.

Liu Xinxin, however, shook her head and said, "No dungeon grinding today, taking you to a great place to level up."

Lu Ran was stunned, puzzled, "Where to?"

Is there another leveling paradise?

Liu Xinxin smiled sweetly and said, "Southern Border, the Ten Thousand Mountains."
