Chapter 115 The Hidden Dragon List!
Chapter 115 The Hidden Dragon List!
After saying this, Old Wang sighed helplessly.
It seems impossible for one person to fight against an entire force.
After listening, Su Yu didn't immediately respond; he suddenly realized something.
His second job advancement task was to become number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
The game "Immortality" teleported him here, clearly believing that he could climb to the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking through the Crimson Trial.
But after all that Old Wang had said, he still hadn't figured out what the connection was between the Crimson Trial and the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
His current understanding of the Hidden Dragon Ranking is limited to the few words on the mission panel and the guesses provided by the City Lord of Tianyuan City.
According to the city lord, to be listed on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, one must make a name for oneself.
If he can win first place in the Crimson Trial, the entire Tianlong Continent will probably know his name.
Perhaps this terrifying record alone is enough to propel him to the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Thinking of this, Su Yu suddenly asked, "Do you know about the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"
Old Wang was stunned for a moment. In the Tianlong Continent, no one had not heard of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Su Yu's terrifying strength, his complete ignorance of the rules of the Crimson Trial, and this statement all contributed to the situation.
This suddenly made Lao Wang realize that Su Yu was probably not from the Tianlong Continent.
"Brother Yu Huang," Old Wang's voice suddenly lowered, "you...you're not from the Tianlong Continent, are you?"
Su Yu glanced at him but did not deny it.
Old Wang took a deep breath.
He wasn't unaware that people from the outside world had appeared on the Tianlong Continent every so often.
Almost everyone who can cross worlds to enter is a top-tier genius.
He had even heard that the lord of Longyuan Pavilion, one of the top territories on the Tianlong Continent, came from outside the region.
He never imagined that he would one day meet such a top genius.
Old Wang cleared his throat, his tone becoming serious.
He had spent decades navigating the treacherous waters of the Tianlong Continent, and these common-sense principles were ingrained in his very being.
"The Hidden Dragon Ranking records all first-tier professionals, and there are a total of one hundred positions on it."
"The rules of the list are not complicated; the higher the fame, the higher the ranking. But there is a hurdle that no one can avoid."
"What hurdle?" Su Yu asked.
"Your fame isn't increasing." Old Wang's voice became serious: "The more famous you are, the slower your fame value will rise."
"Later on, if the tasks you're doing are about the same level of difficulty, then no matter how many matches you play against others or how many announcements you trigger, your reputation value won't increase."
"You need to make a breakthrough to continue increasing your fame."
"For example, if you wipe out all the bandits in a mountain stronghold and increase your reputation, and then you wipe out all the bandits in another mountain stronghold, but the two strongholds are about the same strength, then the reputation you increase the second time will be much less, and after a few more times, you will be completely unable to increase your reputation."
Old Wang paused for a moment, then said, "This is also why the high positions on the Hidden Dragon List are often vacant."
"Once most people reach their power limit, their fame value will soon plateau."
"Empty? Is anyone currently ranked number one on the Hidden Dragon List?" Su Yu asked curiously.
"First place?" Old Wang said with a wry smile, "The Hidden Dragon Ranking has been around for thousands of years in the Tianlong Continent. Only a few hundred people have ever reached the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. The position has been vacant for the rest of the time."
"Three years ago, there was a man named Long Yuan, the eldest son of the Lord of Long Yuan Pavilion. He had god-level talent, a god-level hidden profession, and once topped the Hidden Dragon Ranking."
"However, he only stayed for three days before he was promoted to a second-tier professional and stepped down from the Hidden Dragon Ranking."
Old Li rarely spoke, but after a pause, he said, "The person who can reach the top of the Hidden Dragon List is not necessarily the most famous, but they are definitely the most capable fighter."
He glanced at Su Yu: "Because this ranking only recognizes true monsters."
Su Yu did not respond.
In his view, the reputation value on the Hidden Dragon Ranking is not much different from the strength value.
As long as one's strength is sufficient and the news spreads, it is easy to increase the reputation of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Everyone in the Crimson Trial is a second-tier professional. If he, a first-tier professional, can take first place, it will definitely cause a stir throughout the entire Tianlong Continent.
With his abilities and popularity, it shouldn't be a problem for him to top the Hidden Dragon List.
It seems his second job advancement quest will be completed soon.
"Do you know what the benefits are of making it onto the Hidden Dragon List?" Su Yu asked curiously.
Old Wang paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "I really don't know, but there are definitely benefits, and quite a lot of them."
"Alright, let's go." Su Yu snapped out of his thoughts.
"Take me to a crimson altar and exchange the blood crystals we have for points first."
"Wait a minute," Old Wang suddenly said, his expression somewhat complicated.
He glanced at Old Li.
Old Li nodded slightly, clearly having guessed what he wanted to say.
"Brother Yuhuang, there's something I want to tell you." Old Wang's voice trembled slightly.
"This is probably our only chance in this lifetime, and we'd be really unwilling to give up if we didn't say it."
Su Yu stopped and looked at Old Wang, wondering what he wanted to say.
Old Wang took a deep breath and said, "Back then, Old Li and I had only been in the Crimson Trial for a short time. We were so unlucky that we ran into more than a dozen berserk blood bulls."
"Without thinking, we started climbing straight up the rock face, and we climbed for about seven or eight hundred meters."
Suddenly, I stepped on a stone and fell into a crevice.
"Old Li was worried about my safety, so he jumped in after me."
"The crack was filled with a faint blood mist, and the visibility was okay, but the further you went in, the denser the blood mist became."
"We walked a long way through the blood mist, when suddenly a huge cave appeared ahead of us."
"There was a very peculiar smell in the air, somewhat like the smell of blood, but also mixed with the smell of soil and grass."
"At the deepest part of the cave, the blood mist almost condensed into a thick wall of fog, and the outline of a BOSS could be vaguely seen in the fog wall."
"Its size is like a small mountain. It lay on the ground sleeping, and you could hear its heartbeat throughout the cave."
"Behind the BOSS is a stone door, covered with blood-red runes that flicker as if breathing."
Old Wang paused, his eyes still showing lingering fear: "We didn't even dare to get close, afraid of waking it up, so we quickly retreated the way we came."
"Then I found a similar stone and sealed the gap."
"We've been keeping this secret to ourselves lately, and we haven't dared to tell anyone."
