Chapter 39: Heavenly Sword, Ranking List, the Top Spot Has Changed!

At this time, everyone in Settlement No. 1024 was very excited.

After a whole night of hard work.

The settlement area has reached 499,999 square meters.

It is only a little short of 500,000 square meters to activate the protective shield!

Many people were nervous, looking at Wei Meng, who was in the top three of the battle merit list.

The last seal order was in his hand!

"Use!"

Wei Meng took a few deep breaths, aimed at a zombie area, and used the seal order.

Light green energy gushed out from the token, covering the ground, and many black impurities flew and dissipated in the air like snowflakes.

[Ding, one square meter around was successfully converted into a safe zone and included in the settlement range. You get +30 experience points. ]

A system prompt sounded in Wei Meng's mind.

The next moment, it was a notice for the entire settlement.

[Notice: All activation conditions have been met, and the protective shield function is activated immediately! ]

Along with this notice, the light green light film covering the settlement suddenly changed.

Then, it suddenly became solid and its color became much darker, as if it was made of metal!

The properties were displayed on the protective shield.

[Level 1 settlement protective shield: Durability 100,000, no durability lost when attacked by monsters of level 15 or below. ]

Instantly, thunderous cheers rang out in the settlement!

"Success!"

"We activated the protective shield!"

"Boss Lu Cheng, are you there? We have done what you asked us to do!"

"Now, even if the monsters come again, we don't have to be afraid!"

"We did it, and finally won a place to stand!"

Looking at the protective shield covering the settlement, everyone was excited and excited.

But at this moment, a system announcement suddenly rang out.

[Notice: Settlement No. 93 launched a natural selection duel against the settlement where you are, duel direction: level! ]

With this slightly hurried notice.

The situation outside the settlement suddenly changed, and a golden sword condensed above the settlement hub, shining with cold light, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the bronze tree!

"What's going on?"

"What does the duel of natural selection mean?"

"Why is there a golden sword above the bronze tree? Has it been there before?"

This sudden scene stunned many people.

At this time, the system announcement sounded again.

[The Sword of Natural Selection has been condensed. The first person to equip the Sword of Natural Selection will have his settlement win this duel! ]

[The winner will increase all attributes of the entire settlement by 10 points. The loser will deduct 10 points of all attributes of the entire settlement! ]

"What?"

When this system prompt came down, everyone's face changed.

Ten points of all attributes!

The previous victory in the settlement defense battle, plus Lu Cheng's destruction of the seal stone, only added a total of three points of all attributes!

Three points of all attributes, that is, fifteen points of total attributes, which greatly improved their combat power.

But even so, there are still many people whose total attributes are less than fifty points!

If ten points of all attributes are deducted, some attributes may be deducted!

"If the attributes are deducted to negative numbers...what will happen?"

Many people looked pale.

There were also those who reacted quickly and rushed to the settlement hub at the first time!

Equip the Heavenly Sword and you can win the duel!

Li Tianyu was the fastest and rushed to the bronze tree first. He quickly reached out and grabbed the Heavenly Sword.

But the next moment, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and his palm was charred.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this scene, everyone's heart sank.

"This sword... has a level requirement, I can't take it!"

Li Tianyu endured the severe pain and spoke forcefully.

As he touched it, the attributes of the Heavenly Sword were also revealed.

...

[Heavenly Sword (special item, disappears after the Heavenly Sword duel ends)]

[Equipment requirements: level reaches level 12. ]

...

"Level 12??"

Looking at the attributes of the Heavenly Sword, people took a breath!

This sword actually needs to be equipped at level 12!

Suddenly, everyone was very anxious.

They were busy exchanging the border order and activating the protective shield all night, and they didn't upgrade much!

If they were to compete in level, they would suffer too much!

But soon, someone reacted:

"Don't be afraid! We still have Boss Lu Cheng!"

"Yes! With Lu Shen backing us up, we can win!"

"If Boss Lu Cheng takes action, he will definitely be able to equip this Heavenly Sword!"

"Go and ask Boss Lu Cheng!"

For a while, the morale in the chat in the settlement was boosted.

It was Lu Cheng who appeared in the monster tide before and killed the BOSS by himself, which saved the settlement!

This made everyone have unlimited faith in Lu Cheng.

Moreover, no one forgot that the world announcement a few hours ago was the news that Lu Cheng had successfully changed his job!

At this time, the system prompt sounded again.

[Announcement: During the Heavenly Selection Showdown, the level ranking list is open! ]

The system voice fell, and the two ranking lists appeared.

[Settlement No. 93, belonging to Japan]

...

[First place: Jiro Fujiyama, professional recovery warlock, level 9 54% experience ]

[Second place: Hattori Takuto, professional Onmyoji, 82% experience at level 6. ]

[Third place: Moriya Kouta, professional Ronin, 74% experience at level 6. ]

[Fourth place: Mizukyu Yuutarou, professional Samurai, 65% experience at level 6. ]

[Fifth place: Okawahara Nao, professional Warrior…

…

[Tenth place: Ikura Kento, professional Archer, 17% experience at level 6. ]

…

Looking at the ranking list of the Japanese settlements.

Everyone's heart sank.

The top ten Japanese levels are all level 6 and above!

The first place, Fujiyama Jiro, is leading by a cliff, and is already level 9 and a half!

"How can his level be so high..."

Some people were puzzled and looked at their own ranking list.

As a result, after just one look, his face turned pale!

"Everyone, something happened... Look at our ranking list!"

His voice trembled a little.

Everyone was startled and hurried to look at their own ranking list.

[Settlement No. 1024, Daxia]

...

[First place: Li Tianyu, professional warrior, level 6 21% experience. ]

[Second place: Wei Meng, professional warrior, level 6 15% experience. ]

[Third place: Li Guanghe, professional Taoist priest, level 5 97% experience. ]

[Fourth place: Bai Sheng, professional swordsman, level 5 84% experience. 】

【Fifth place: Liu Xiong, professional mage...

【Tenth place: Wang Wei, professional woodcutter, level 5, 55% experience. 】

…

"This..."

"How could this happen?"

Looking at their own ranking list, everyone was stunned.

There were many familiar faces on the ranking list, and there was not much change compared to the previous battle merit list.

But everyone noticed the same thing.

The top position has changed!

"Wait...Where is Boss Lu Cheng?"

"Why is Boss Lu not on the ranking list?"

At this moment, everyone in the settlement panicked!

"Is it because Lu Shen's level is not high enough and he is not on the list?"

"That's not right! There was a job transfer notice before! Boss Lu Cheng can't be on the list?"

"But why is he not on the list? Could it be that..."

Lu Cheng's previous record was too dazzling, and everyone thought that he must be the first in the ranking.

But Lu Cheng's name is not on this ranking list!

"Could it be that Boss Lu Cheng is...dead?" Some people speculated in panic, and suddenly, a huge panic spread.
