Easy to pass

Although it was evident that the scroll was not a practical item and might even pose a dilemma for the system, Jiang Han reluctantly stowed the scroll with an attitude of accepting everything.

Carrying the cold air, he continued to deal with the twenty-first illusion, taking the opportunity to check the challenge rankings of players—

1. First Assassin (Great Cold Area): Level 79

2. Old Wine Pot (Eastern Area): Level 79

3. Sacred Ivory (Ganges Area): Level 79

4. Sin (Merry Area): Level 79

5. Blue Enchantress (Romantic Area): Level 79

6. Black Cat (Cherry Blossom Area): Level 79

7. Wei Qian Duo Er (Eastern Area): Level 69

8. Condemner (Great Britain Area): Level 69

9. Dragon Soars a Thousand Miles (Eastern Area): Level 69

10. Snow Emperor (Merry Area): Level 69

...

It seemed that the eightieth level was challenging, as the top players from the first to the sixth were all stuck at the same point!

Easily slaughtering the twenty-second illusion, Jiang Han put away the rankings and focused on grinding monsters.

One sword, one illusion, the process continued.

With his current strength, far surpassing the players by an unknown margin, and without needing any buffs, an attack power exceeding 150,000 was enough to obliterate everything.

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Congratulations on clearing the thirtieth level, receiving additional rewards: 30 free attribute points, and a random B-grade scroll, "Flame Restraint"!

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Congratulations on clearing the fortieth level, receiving additional rewards: 40 free attribute points, and a random A-grade item, "Bag of Gold Coins"!

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Congratulations on clearing the fiftieth level, receiving additional rewards: 50 free attribute points, and a random A-grade item, "Easy Pickings"!

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Congratulations on clearing the sixtieth level, receiving additional rewards: 60 free attribute points, and a random A-grade item, "Deep Blue Jewel"!

...

Flame Restraint was a scroll that sealed skills, capable of controlling the opponent for a few seconds and causing some damage during that time, with a not-so-strong effect.

A Bag of Gold Coins contained a total of two thousand coins, which could be exchanged for almost a hundred and fifty thousand in cash. Easy Pickings and Sleight of Hand had similar effects, with five uses each. However, for Jiang Han, they were equivalent to nothing. When reaching the sixtieth level, Jiang Han still had expectations, thinking he might receive a random S-grade item. Unexpectedly, the system was stingy and still gave an A-grade item.

However, the rewards were still acceptable—

Deep Blue Jewel (A-grade)

Introduction: Contains a unique power, allowing people to breathe underwater.

...

No need for explanations, as the introduction made the effect quite clear.

Putting away the Deep Blue Jewel, Jiang Han continued the slaughter.

In just two minutes, he reached the seventieth level, defeating four of the top-ten ranked players.

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Congratulations on entering the top ten of the Illusionary Challenge rankings, currently ranked: Seventh!

The top six were all super experts at level seventy-nine, and the rookie Jiang Han naturally hadn't surpassed them. The reason he became the first among players stuck at level sixty-nine was mainly due to slightly less time spent.

"Ao!"

A deafening roar echoed.

Jiang Han looked up, and in his field of vision, a lion over two meters tall appeared. The lion's physique was majestic, its gaze fierce, and its fur resembled sharp thorns, giving it an intimidating appearance—

Ghostly Demon Lion (Demon Fiend Level)

Level: 100

Life: 10,000,000

Attack: 20,000-23,000

Defense: 15,000-15,500

Skills: Deadly Pounce, Voracious Bite, Super Bloodthirst

Introduction: Dominant ruler of the Blue Demon Plains, prefers living in groups, with a violent temperament. Extremely high lethality and speed are enough to deter adventurers.

...

Very strong!

Jiang Han's expression became serious.

The Ghostly Demon Lion was not a boss, but it possessed a full ten million in life, along with a terrifying attack of twenty-three thousand. No wonder even the top players were defeated by it, unable to advance to higher levels.

War Stomp!

Facing such a formidable enemy, Jiang Han prepared himself, not daring to be careless. With a swift movement, he unleashed his signature skill. Clearly caught off guard, the Ghostly Demon Lion did not dodge and was taken down with one kick.

-11,794,004!

A damage figure of over ten million emerged, and the Ghostly Demon Lion collapsed.

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Congratulations on clearing the seventieth level, receiving additional rewards: 70 free attribute points, and a random S-grade item, "Wrath of the Fire God"!

"Unexpectedly, it's this scroll again?"

Jiang Han looked at the red scroll in his inventory, feeling somewhat nostalgic.

Once, he obtained this scroll and nearly hunted down a demon god, becoming a renowned hero. It was because of this experience that he was recognized by the system and became the legendary Dark Swordsman.

That period of experience was truly moving and heartfelt, a touching adventure story.

Unfortunately, for his current self, the power of the Wrath of the Fire God was somewhat lacking, but such items were still valuable and could fetch a good price.

Later, Jiang Han continued to challenge the seventy-first illusion.

It had to be said that the seventy-first level was not as difficult as the seventieth, probably because players were stuck before reaching an integer level and couldn't progress.

Methodically grinding monsters, after experiencing a long thirty seconds, Jiang Han arrived at the eightieth level. In his line of sight appeared a walking wolf-headed humanoid illusion, about three meters tall, muscular, with long claws on its hands, exuding a dangerous aura—

Elder Wolf Elder · Selt (Spirit Level Boss)

Level: 110

Life: 30,000,000

Attack: 31,500-33,000

Defense: 18,000-20,800

Skills: Wolf's Instinct, Advanced Bloodthirst, Fatal Tear, Arrogance of the Wolf

Introduction: A half-beast of the wolf tribe mixed with humans, possessing both human intelligence and the strength of the wolf tribe. As the leader of the half-beast camp, Elder Wolf Elder · Selt naturally stands out in strength.

...

Compared to the Ghostly Demon Lion, Selt had a higher level, and all aspects of its attributes were stronger. Combined with tripled life, it was no wonder even the top players couldn't defeat it.

Coincidentally, Jiang Han had encountered the true body of this illusion before, but at that time, he couldn't compete and had to give up. Now, meeting again, it was a completely different level.

Approaching Selt with three or four strikes, Jiang Han's ears were filled with the pleasant sound of the system alert—

"Ding! ~"

System prompt: Congratulations on

 clearing the eightieth level, receiving additional rewards: 80 free attribute points, and a random S-grade item, "Lucky Orb"!

Another Lucky Orb!

Jiang Han looked at the three ping pong ball-sized orbs in his backpack, shining like stars. He couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Well, having high luck must have some bonuses in areas he hadn't noticed, better to have it than not.

"Continue!"

Jiang Han's eyes carried a bit of expectation.

Up to now, he had received two A-grade items, two S-grade items. Following this pattern, reaching the one hundredth level would likely yield an SS-grade item!
