Chapter 154
Chapter 155 One Day to the Top
“Is she a succubus or what p>
“Don’t mess with her. Joanna is a total monster p>
In just one day, Joanna crushed countless SSS-rank elites and became the center of
attention.
People who came later only heard rumors. Some talked her down like she was nothing. Others praised her like a god or a demon. The stories grew wilder with every retelling.
Still, this program had a strong academic culture.
Everyone there was a top-10 finisher from the Star Domain Battle, all aiming to enter the Divine and Demonic Academy.
That meant one thing-competition was intense.
Back in high school, some students did well, and some did badly. The weaker ones often gave up. Some didn’t even know how to improve because they lacked
resources.
But here, things were different. People shared ideas. They discussed strategies. Everyone talked about how to earn credits.
By now, the first group of students who moved into the apartments had already used up their Dimensional Origin Energy. Each of them gained over 1,000 points in attributes. Soon, they all jumped into the Arena, Skyreach Spire, and Dungeon Plaza.
Arena.
Lucien entered a fight.
This time, it wasn’t a scheduled match. It was random matchmaking.
All universities in the Space Alliance could use arena mode. Opponents were matched by arena points.
You might face an 18-year-old freshman from a low-tier college. Or you might meet a 22-year-old senior from Divine and Demonic Academy. It all depended on your points.
For the academy students, the rules were strict. You needed 10 consecutive wins just to earn 1 arena point.
It was a test of real strength.
Luckily, random matches gave a one-minute prep time.
Lucien fought fast. Very fast.
100 wins in a row: 10 points
200 wins in a row: 20 points
300 wins in a row: 30 points
Soon, his name climbed straight to the top.
“Arena Rank #1: Joanna-300 consecutive wins, Arena Points: 300 (Arena points are not the same as credits p>
After 300 matches, his opponents became much stronger. His pace slowed a little. But the win streak continued.
Skyreach Spire.
Alwyn began his climb.
Skyreach Spire worked much like Fruit vs. Zombies. It was a clear-the-levels challenge.
The first floor alone had 100,000 monsters.
2/4
Based on Joanna’s level, all enemies were level 20.
This was a team leveling zone. Each floor was built like a dungeon.
But for Alwyn, the monsters were far too weak. They burned in seconds.
He cleared one floor in just five minutes.
Two hours later, his name stood at the top.
“Skyreach Spire Ranking: #1 – Joanna, Current Floor: 30”
Dungeon plaza of the Divine and Demon Training Program.
Compared to other areas, Dungeon Plaza was quiet.
The floors were spotless. The teleport portals looked brand new. Every dungeon here was Nightmare-tier.
Because of that, new students rarely dared to enter.
In the Star Domain Battle, unless teams stayed perfectly coordinated, support roles struggled to shine. As a result, healers and tanks were rare.
“Dreadwood needs one tank to start a fresh run! First come, first served! Loot priority included! The team will cover repairs and potions; we just need one tank p>
“Level 18 mage looking for teammates! SSS-rank talent, no cast time! Four Golden- tier skills, one Dark Gold-tier skill! Massive firepower p>
“Any team want a level 16 assassin? I’ll pay 0.5 credits to the rest of the group p>
Nighthowl paused and glanced at the assassin, memorizing his face.
Then he stepped into the nearest teleport portal.
“Detected: You are Joanna Lane’s contract beast. Dungeon results will be recorded under Joanna’s name. No Starcoins required for this run.
“This is a team dungeon. Minimum requirement: 5 members. Joanna possesses the “Lone Walker” badge. Requirement waived.
3/4
“Yes p>
Inside the dungeon, the sky was dark. A blood-red moon hung overhead, casting a grim glow over the forest.
The trees twisted slowly, like living things.
They were corrupted and had turned into monsters.
The dungeon had a strict two-hour limit. If time ran out, even the players would be corrupted.
Nighthowl stared at the blood moon. Something deep in his blood awakened. He couldn’t hold back anymore. He transformed into a giant wolf.
At Level 20, his body was massive.
He leapt into the air, crossing space like a silver streak. His form shifted into a behemoth. He opened his jaws and bit down on the blood moon.
A wolf devouring the moon.
Crack!
The blood moon shattered.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
