Chapter 296 - A Drastically Changing Situation
In Pedestrian A’s exclusive room, Lu Ran stood in place and sighed. He sighed again and again. Now, he was certain that Limitless City was absolutely messing with his mind.
It happened last time too. His master, the Cult Leader, had been strengthening his soul, and before he could even confirm whether it was complete or not, he got transported back.
And now, the same thing again. A level 90 quasi-Legendary Time Dragon! Even if he had just half an hour more, he was confident he could at least pluck a few dragon scales. But no, the ascension realm ended just like that. It left Lu Ran feeling utterly crushed.
Historical projections can’t manifest out of thin air. The resources in the secret realm must have utilized some kind of power to turn illusion into reality. Constructing all of this must also drain Limitless City’s energy. By this logic, if a trial participant completes the missions given by Limitless City step by step, it falls under normal consumption.
“But if the trial participant explores the world, interacts with powerful beings, comes into contact with top-tier resources, or encounters Legendary creatures, then Limitless City’s energy expenditure must increase significantly.
“It wouldn’t be that Limitless City is purposely restricting me because it doesn’t want the hassle of recreating Legendary being projections, right?” Lu Ran muttered to himself.
If it didn’t want to, then fine. I can understand. But why let that millennia-old dragon show up at the end? Is it teasing me? What about the supposed illegitimate son privileges?
“Whatever. I’m finally back!”
Lu Ran flopped straight onto the ground, lying on the floor while staring at the ceiling. A month had passed and he had no idea what was happening on Blue Planet right now. Some of the Golden Generation must have undergone phase two evolution by now.
He sat up, left his exclusive room, and casually strolled over to Limitless City #3’s arena instead of returning to reality immediately. He looked up at the King’s Ranking Board displayed at the top.
As expected, after a month, the World War event had made massive progress. By now, several of the first-generation beastmasters had passed the preliminaries and officially become arena masters, securing their spots among the Global Top Ten Kings.
