Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 36

Ye Hongyi was incredibly generous.

Even though there wasn’t time to hunt for top-tier gear, Lu Ran’s level was low anyway, and he’d need to replace items constantly later.

Besides, truly good equipment wouldn’t be sold on the trading post or in commerce guilds.

So, generic No-Level-Restriction Epic gear was sufficient for now.

Ye Hongyi didn’t care about the price. As long as it suited Lu Ran and had high Intelligence and Spell Attack bonuses, she bought it all!

After kitting him out, Lu Ran’s Spell Attack Power reached one thousand seven hundred!

Compared to his previous six hundred Spell Attack, it was like swapping a slingshot for a cannon!
“Lu Ran, forget about your skills and special effects for a moment. Just this 1,700 Spell Attack Power alone already surpasses many magic-based professions in their thirties and forties,” Lei Tai said approvingly.

Lu Ran certainly knew that.

But he also knew the cost—how much money Ye Hongyi had spent for him!
“Thank you, Sister Hong,” Lu Ran said sincerely.

These people were genuinely helping him with all their might, giving him the absolute best they could!
“No need for thanks. Just do well in the Endless Tower, suppress the little day, reclaim the top spot that belongs to us Chinese, and fight for our pride. That’s the best thanks you can give,” Ye Hongyi said, patting Lu Ran’s shoulder.

As for Liu Xinxin, she had already subconsciously calculated Lu Ran’s potential damage.

It wasn’t hard to figure out.

Lu Ran’s current Spell Attack was 1,700.

The Blood Spear charged infinitely, increasing its base damage by 50% per second.

One minute was a 30x multiplier on base damage, resulting in 51,000 spell damage. Ten minutes was 510,000! One hour was 3.06 million!

And that was just one hour of charging!

Charging all night, say ten hours, would yield over 30 million damage!
You could say it could annihilate heaven, earth, and everything in between.

With the Blood Spear as his ultimate move, Lu Ran’s attempt at the Endless Tower held no danger whatsoever!
“I’m also curious how many floors you can clear in one go tomorrow. You should gain a massive amount of experience,” Liu Xinxin said.

Everyone waited with bated breath.

This led to Lu Ran being completely distracted throughout the entire school assembly the next day.

His mind was wholly occupied with thoughts of the Endless Tower.

As for the rankings, Lu Ran was undeniably first—no surprise there. He felt no excitement.

Even without the effects of his skills and special traits, with such immense resources and training poured into him, even a wooden post would have leveled up!
As the Rookie Ranking was gradually revealed.

It showed many had already reached Level 10, with the third place even at Level 11.

Then, just like the past couple of days, when the second place was announced, everyone’s eyes turned towards Qin Wuyao’s class.

And Qin Wuyao herself turned to look at Lu Ran.

Second Place: Level 13 Spatial Walker, Qin Wuyao.

Qin Wuyao was already Level 13!
As expected, being Qin Lie’s daughter, even without joining Lu Ran’s team, Qin Wuyao’s leveling speed was still impressive.

But not being with Lu Ran left Qin Wuyao feeling a bit empty inside.

The guy in third place, a rare profession, sat in his seat sighing dejectedly.

He was third place, not low by any means.

It was a rank many envied, so why couldn’t he feel happy at all?

Probably because the gap between him and second place, Qin Wuyao, was just too vast!

Qin Wuyao was Level 13, and he was Level 11. It seemed like only a two-level difference.

But the experience gap required for those two levels was no small number!

The gap was enormous!

And then there was the first-place Lu Ran, who was the real monster!

The sports field buzzed with noise:

“Qin Wuyao’s leveling speed is crazy too, she’s already Level 13!”

“What do you know? Rumor has it Qin Wuyao levels with Lu Ran.”

“I heard some big shot is personally leading them? But no one knows who it is yet.”

“Lu Ran was Level 15 yesterday, he should be 16 by now, right?”

“Not necessarily. After Level 15, the experience needed to level is terrifying. Leveling up in a single day is tough.”

“But even if Lu Ran isn’t Level 16, he’s probably close. He’s still firmly in first place.”

“Holy moly, I’m only Level 7! The gap is insane!”
…

Amidst the noise.

First place was gradually revealed.

First Place: Level 19 Necromancer, Lu Ran!

The moment Lu Ran’s name appeared, the entire sports field fell silent!

Lu Ran was actually Level 19!

He was only Level 15 yesterday! What on earth did he do in that short time?

The field instantly erupted.

“This… Level 19 in a day? Am I seeing things?”

“Oh my god, how is that even possible!”

“Second place Qin Wuyao is only Level 13, third place is Level 11, and first place Lu Ran is Level 19!”

“I’m speechless. Lu Ran is still Lu Ran. Even after awakening as a common Necromancer, he’s still that prodigy!”
…

Even the various mentors and Principal Jiang Zhenbei were stunned.

Lu Ran’s leveling speed was already exaggerated before, but now it was even more so!

Leveling from 15 to 19 in a single day!
Jumping four whole levels!

The experience required for that must be millions, nearing ten million!

It was utterly unimaginable how Lu Ran managed it!

Only Lu Ran himself remained calm and unruffled. Seeing the rankings announced and Jiang Zhenbei starting his customary small talk.

He didn’t need the mentors’ help anyway.

So he simply got up and left.

Qin Wuyao had been watching Lu Ran and quickly followed him out.

Outside the sports field.

Qin Wuyao said enviously, “No matter what, people used to call us the ‘Peerless Pair’ before. It’s only been a few days since our profession awakening, and you’ve already left me so far behind.”

Lu Ran curled his lip.

He said, “In the previous mental strength rankings, I was first, you were second. Now in the Rookie Ranking, I’m first, you’re second. Isn’t it the same? And… ‘Peerless Pair’? I never heard that nickname.”

“Pfft. Is it the same? You’re Level 19 now! A full four-level gap! And you’re about to tackle the Endless Tower, which means tons more experience. The gap between us is just going to get bigger and bigger,” Qin Wuyao said.

“You can try it too if you want,” Lu Ran replied.

“Forget it. I don’t have a death wish. Besides a weirdo like you, who dares to challenge the Endless Tower at just over Level 10?” Qin Wuyao waved her hands dismissively.

Before long.

The two arrived at the dungeon hall and met up with the three guild leaders wearing hooded cloaks.

Qin Wuyao had come specifically to watch the excitement.

She wasn’t in a hurry to level up; her current progress already far exceeded her expectations. Watching the show was more important.

“The entrance to the Endless Tower is over there,” Ye Hongyi said, pointing.

The teleportation array nearby had very few people around it. Compared to the crowded dungeon area, clearly not many attempted the Endless Tower.

“Check your Blood Spear, and remember what I said. If you can’t defeat a floor, use the Blood Spear to clear it, then exit the instance. Don’t push yourself recklessly,” Liu Xinxin’s voice was as soft and pleasant as ever, but her tone was serious as she instructed.

Lu Ran didn’t dare be careless.

He checked the Blood Spear. It had been charging for twelve hours.

Over 30 million damage was enough to instantly kill any boss in the Endless Tower!

“Don’t worry, Sister Xinxin, I understand,” Lu Ran said earnestly.

Then, under their expectant gazes, Lu Ran took a deep breath and stepped into the Endless Tower’s teleportation array.

After selecting ‘Enter,’ his figure flashed and vanished.
