Currently, only Zuya has not completed the awakening quest.
This challenge has an additional restriction compared to the previous ones: the guild must reach LV:4 before it can be accepted.
Generally speaking, one of the requirements for upgrading to a level 4 guild is the number of members.
This number requirement was eliminated under the influence of the Eternal Ruler talent, and was replaced by another additional requirement.
That means all members of the guild will complete their first awakening.
This task isn't too difficult. Once Zuya completes the task, the conditions for upgrading the guild to level 4 will be met.
Leng Qingying's errand didn't take much time; she only needed to chant in place to return to the guild stronghold.
If you come back, there's an item that allows you to return to the marked location; you obtained it from completing a hidden quest.
This saved me a lot of trouble.
Bai Lu received intelligence from the Elf Ini, who had agreed to Lu Cang's conditions. The Elf race was now considered to be on the same side as the Human race.
"What...?"
"Attack the Spider Clan's crypts? When have we ever done such a thing?" Bai Lu puffed out his cheeks as he looked at the latest intelligence.
Everyone was busy playing the Tower of Confusion a while ago, so they didn't have time to look for the Spider Clan. They didn't even know where the Spider Clan was. How could they have been framed out of nowhere?
"Brother, someone is spreading rumors about us."
Lu Cang glanced at the intelligence report and roughly understood what had happened.
He laughed and said, "It shouldn't really be considered spreading rumors."
It's quite frustrating that something like this happened; even though Lu Cang is a reincarnated person, he couldn't have predicted that such a thing would happen.
It's such a coincidence; who would have thought that the prisoner would write down his own name and still be mistaken for someone else?
"Besides, let's just say it. It's a good thing for us."
"Other races will become even more wary of us because of this, and there will likely be many more races that want to come and join us."
Reputation is a double-edged sword; it can bring disaster, but it can also bring convenience and benefits.
Now that Xiumi's reputation has fallen on his head, all of Xiumi's efforts have been in vain. After all, not every race happens to live in a cave, allowing Xiumi to play with bows and arrows.
The effectiveness of a catapult arrow will be significantly reduced if it is not used in a confined environment such as a cave.
My current reputation is far from being enough to cause trouble; having a bigger reputation wouldn't be a bad thing.
"Besides, the mere Spider Clan is nothing to fear. Just think of it as someone trying to show off, but they ended up showing off for us instead," Lu Cang said to Bai Lu.
"Oh... I understand." Bai Lu was very clever and immediately understood what her brother meant.
"But... why haven't the Spider Clan come to seek revenge yet? They look so angry," Bai Lu asked, puzzled.
“They’re angry, but not stupid. They know we’re the four regional overlords who can clear all 60 floors of the Tower of Bewilderment.”
The meaning is similar to that of a prodigy. A prodigy is someone who is so powerful that there is no one in the region who can rival him, just like a regional hegemon.
"The strongest member of the Spider Clan is dead. How dare this bunch of worthless bastards provoke us?"
"Then why do they still dare to shout so fiercely?"
"Hehe, if a dog gets beaten but doesn't dare to bite back, all it can do is bark, right? But they'll probably try to get support from the higher races, it just depends on whether their higher races are willing to pay attention to them."
"After being beaten, there's no way to get revenge. You have to beg others and watch their faces. That's the tragedy of having no strength in the Illusionary Realm."
"What if... what if the superior race really came to their aid?"
"The superior races have their own battlefields, just as the inferior races are separated from the middle races by a dividing wall. The middle races are not directly connected to the superior races either, so even if they call out, they cannot come over."
"Can't get through? Then why are they still putting on such a show?" Even the fearless warrior couldn't stand it anymore.
If their powerful backer isn't effective, fine, but even if they were, they couldn't come. And yet, these spider races still dare to act under the name of a superior race? This is even more absurd than a fox borrowing the tiger's power!
"The walls of separation will collapse, and the restrictions will eventually disappear. The superior races just can't get through right now. Other races don't dare to gamble on that day, so they're just hiding like cowards."
What Lu Cang didn't say was that even if these mid-level races didn't provoke the Spider Clan, as long as they didn't forge their own path and create their own race's way to heaven, they would ultimately be subject to control.
That's how the fantasy world is; once it involves the struggle for supremacy among all races, it ultimately becomes cruel.
After defeating the Swift Black Monkey, the group encountered no further danger on their journey.
Suddenly, the fearless warrior seemed to remember something and asked, "Sister Leng, what is the trial on the 60th floor of the Tower of Confusion?"
"Darkness, fighting in pure darkness."
"And you?" Leng Qingying asked in return.
The fearless warrior replied, "Uh, it was just a normal battle, except the monster was a bit tough. It was a giant turtle with pretty high physical defense. Even the Closed Circle Slash only dealt 1 million damage. I stood there and fought it for three minutes before I finally killed it."
Leng Qingying didn't know what to say; perhaps this was a case of "the brick flies when the force is great."
However, if we compare sustained single-target damage, Leng Qingying and Yongzhe Wuwei's damage output is not that different. The difference in their rankings lies in their efficiency in clearing groups of monsters in the early stages.
Bai Lu: "Eh~ It seems our trials are all different."
"I am fighting in a special magical suppression space. The negative buff is that the mana cost of magic is increased to 50 times the normal level."
"However, the boss I fought was also a mana-bar monster. I used a few spells and drained its mana. Hehe."
When Bai Lu casts spells, she prioritizes depleting the enemy's mana. The higher her mana consumption, the more painful it is for the enemy.
It's really tough to encounter a boss like Bai Lu.
"Boss, what's the content of the 60th floor?" Brave Warrior suddenly asked curiously.
"He's hitting himself." Lu Cang didn't intend to reveal any more details.
"Oh, I get it!" I've seen this kind of plot where the brave are fearless in movies and TV shows. Characters undergoing this kind of trial often only need to shout that they are stronger today than yesterday to pass.
No matter what kind of trial Lu Cang faced, no one was surprised that he could pass it.
"Fearless, the altar of blasphemy is just ahead."
The Trial City doesn't just have trials within its walls; there are also many trial sites surrounding the city.
However, these trial grounds are often considered unorthodox and are not recognized by the world.
As for why most of these trials are concentrated in this area, the players don't know the specific reasons. There is only one rumor that this is the place where the power of the gods is most easily transmitted, so the gods choose this area to set up trials and tests.
As for what the trials can bring to the gods, that remains unknown.
The fearless warrior swallowed hard, his expression turning serious.
"Um……"
"Desecrating the blood altar, that sounds a bit scary."
Lu Cang said calmly, "After all, the name is Seven Sins Stance, how could it be something sacred and beautiful?"
"Boss, will this posture have any side effects?"
"It's gone once it's fully digested."
"So that means there will still be..."
Lu Cang affirmed, "Yes, but compared to the intensity, it's not a big problem. In fact, things with negative effects in the illusionary realm are actually good things."
"It's like how some games reroll stats; three positive effects are far less powerful than three positive and one negative."
Hearing Lu Cang's analogy, the brave and fearless seemed to understand but not quite, yet still replied, "I understand."
The brave man believed that Lu Cang would not harm him, and that the president was a reliable one.

【Arena of All Races】
"200-game winning streak".
A creature with a perfectly streamlined and beautiful form, holding a single-edged sword in its left hand, looked at its fallen opponent behind it.
Omnic Species - The Perfect Killer
"Completely, absolutely no one can stand a chance against him."
"The strongest mammoth, Ju Meng, was killed in his forty-ninth victory with his third strike."
"Kisame's strongest warrior, Uozaki, was killed with his fourth strike in his eighty-second victory."
"Jiu Ran, the strongest member of the Senyan Turtle Clan, achieved her 111th victory with a 17-slash kill..."
"The renowned Qi Nian Clan prodigy Xin Wen passed some kind of Void Self Trial, but I defeated him in ten minutes when I had one hundred and fifty-two victories."
It said calmly to the broken corpse behind it, "You... Phoenix Blood Seven-Tailed Crow, the so-called rising star of the Five-Tailed Crow Clan, are no match for me."
"So-called geniuses are nothing more than this."
"Human prodigy, fearless and brave, has not appeared since his fifty-game winning streak in the arena..."
Are you scared?
It spread its arms out and raised them, then twisted its round head.
"Why don't those other geniuses from other races participate in the arena? Are they just all talk and no action? Are they afraid of encountering an opponent, losing, and losing their so-called genius aura?"
"How boring. So-called strong people should fight, fight, and fight all the time."
