566: I'll be there in a minute.

Suddenly, Nanasheng stopped. Her Shikigami also returned to her side.

Lu Ran looked at Nanasheng and asked, "Why did you stop fighting?"

"I can't kill you. Although I don't know how you did it, I truly cannot kill you," Nanasheng said directly.

At first, Nanasheng had suspected that perhaps because the other party was a hidden class, he possessed a buff skill similar to invincibility, allowing him to briefly withstand attacks.

However, several minutes had passed. She still couldn't make him lose a single drop of blood; he remained completely unscathed. In that case, it couldn't be explained by a buff skill.

Because in the current Datafication World, there wasn't a single class that could keep oneself invincible for several minutes. Furthermore, let alone the fact that he was just a Level 0 newcomer who had just awakened his class. That was simply impossible! Otherwise, this class would truly be heaven-defying!

"How did you do it?" Nanasheng asked, though she wasn't worried about her own safety.

It seemed she still primarily felt that the other party was just a newcomer. Even if he had used some unknown method to obtain invincibility, his attack power would surely still be that of a newcomer, so there was no need to worry.

"If I tell you, will you help me find someone?" Lu Ran asked.

"I can consider it," Nanasheng nodded. Although Nanasheng appeared very calm, it was obvious that her inner emotions were fluctuating violently.

Invincibility! Under her, Nanasheng's, attacks, with full firepower, to maintain an invincible state for several minutes!

She was currently sprinting through the floors of the Endless Tower, wanting to surpass Yu Qingcang. But the danger was immense. Every floor she moved up was a risk. After all, dying inside the Endless Tower meant actual death. If she succeeded, she could add one to her floor count, but if she failed, she would die directly. This risk was huge!

But if she could also maintain an invincible state for several minutes, the difficulty of this Endless Tower would be greatly reduced.

Lu Ran looked at Nanasheng but didn't quite know how to explain it. He couldn't exactly say that he was the highest authority of the Datafication World and could modify everything, could he?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ran said, "I have an invincibility skill."

"I don't believe it," Nanasheng shook her head directly. This had been Nanasheng's original guess. Moreover, after seeing the other party maintain invincibility for several minutes, she had already refuted it herself. So, hearing Lu Ran say this now, she naturally didn't believe him.

This... Lu Ran raised an eyebrow and said, "Forget it, let's not dwell on these things. I can't be bothered to explain. How about we make a deal?"

Hmm? Nanasheng was stunned, looking at Lu Ran. She said, "You mean I help you find someone? Then what can you help me with? What kind of deal is this? I don't believe you can help me with anything."

Lu Ran waved his hand, responding, "That's not necessarily true. I know you are rushing through the Endless Tower; I can help you reach a higher level. At the same time, aren't you guys trying to clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range? I can help with that too, but I need to help Dragon Xia clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range first, and then I will come to help you. You should be able to understand that, right?"

Upon hearing this, Nanasheng was not moved in the slightest. Instead, she frowned and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Why would I kid you?" Lu Ran said.

"Just you? Do you know what the Black Dragon Mountain Range means? Is it something someone like you can handle?" Nanasheng couldn't even be bothered to dwell on this question.

Watching a young man with her own eyes—a Level 0 newcomer who had just awakened his class—shamelessly boasting in front of her that he could help Sakura clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range? If this wasn't a joke, what was?

Although this state of invincibility was very impressive, what then? Was his attack power sufficient? Moreover, wasn't his level not even high enough to enter the Black Dragon Mountain Range?

"Forget it, there's no point in saying more. Wait for me for a moment. I'm going back now to help Dragon Xia clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range, and we'll talk afterward," Lu Ran said.

Nanasheng looked at Lu Ran indifferently and said, "Suit yourself, but in a few days, you might not be able to see me here."

What? Going somewhere else? That didn't matter. If Lu Ran wanted to find someone, wouldn't that be simple and easy?

And... "A few days? What are you talking about? I'll be back in a moment," Lu Ran said with a wave of his hand.

Uh... Nanasheng was completely numb. She sighed and said, "I really have nothing better to do, wasting time here with you. Although you are bizarre, I can't be bothered to keep pestering you. You go now. I can't kill you, but if you don't leave, I have no problem trapping you. You can just stay here for the rest of your life."

Lu Ran chuckled and said, "You have quite the temper. Wait for me; I'll be back soon. If you're interested, you can keep an eye on the clear ranking for the Black Dragon Mountain Range. That clear time of the Eagle Sauce is just child's play."

After speaking, before Nanasheng could react, Lu Ran's entire person instantly vanished from the spot.

Nanasheng was suddenly stunned. She widened her eyes in surprise. She turned her head and looked around, but still couldn't find any trace of Lu Ran.

Just like that, he was gone? What was this? A displacement skill? But... was the distance of this displacement skill so terrifying? And it was silent and traceless.

Most importantly, the other party was only Level 0. If the previous invincibility state was the first skill, then what was this displacement skill? Where did it come from?

Didn't every class come with a basic skill after awakening? And never had any class's basic skill been displacement or invincibility. Bizarre, it was simply too bizarre!

As for what Lu Ran said about being back in a moment, Nanasheng didn't take it seriously at all. Even cross-border teleportation required time, and clearing the Black Dragon Mountain Range also required time. Even if Lu Ran really had the ability to clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range, he couldn't possibly finish it so quickly!

She shook her head. She was completely baffled by today's encounter.

On the other side, after Lu Ran's figure disappeared from Sakura and from the Chi Nai Grand Shrine, when he reappeared, he was already in the Imperial Capital.

He went directly to the headquarters of the Tiandao Alliance. Because Lu Ran had already retrieved the data, Yu Qingcang was currently at the headquarters.

Moreover, besides Yu Qingcang, there were other high-ranking members of the Tiandao Alliance gathered in the conference room at this time.

"We failed again. The difficulty of the Black Dragon Mountain Range is still too high."

"We lost thirty-two people this time; it's too tragic. This can't go on."

"The National War is imminent, and at this very time, the Eagle Sauce has cleared the Black Dragon Mountain Range. Damn it."

"Sigh, there's no other way; we still have to keep trying, even though the cost is huge."

"As long as we can clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range once, the subsequent difficulty will be reduced significantly."

"Yes, as long as we have some black dragon equipment, we can start snowballing."

"Unfortunately, the cost to clear it for the first time is simply too high."

At this moment, Lu Ran had already flashed to the door of the conference room.
