Ghost Dragon Clan soul enhancement enhances mental power, reduces magic consumption for skills, and provides seven points to all attributes.

Bayou observed the enhancement of the skeletal dragon, which finally appeared somewhat respectable.

Merely breathing fire was rather unimpressive.

The ghost dragon, on the other hand, had strengthened its soul and reduced its mana costs, making it considerably formidable as well.

Although the skeletal dragon underwent bone enhancement like its skeletal counterparts, its bones, instead of becoming darkened with patina, appeared waxing and more luminous.

The ghost dragon exhibited no significant physical change.

Its ethereal form seemed more solidified, yet remained semi-transparent, emanating a faint blue glow, which made it distinctly recognizable.

Bayou instructed the six dragons to head west to find Arthur, allowing him to facilitate their leveling up.

The remaining undead were given the freedom to advance as they wished, commencing with wilderness hunts to gain experience before joining together with other undead to hunt higher level creatures.

Nonetheless, they lacked the ability to fly, which hindered their mobility and made leveling up quite challenging.

Wrapping himself in a towel, Bayou returned to his bedroom, satisfied with the day as tasks, ready to retire for the night.

Upon entering the bedroom, Bayou swiftly flung off his towel and nestled into bed.

He soon succumbed to slumber, clutching a pillow with one leg extending outside the covers while his legs embraced the warmth of the blanket.

As dawn broke over the magical continent, the lords entered the fifth day of their novice protection period.

At 6:00 in the morning, while still in the embrace of sleep by you was stirred by the systems notification sound.

Esteemed lords, congratulations on your survival to the fifth day.

There are only 3 days remaining until the beast tide arrives.

The system will temporarily activate the leaderboard function for 3 days, continuing until the beast tide concludes.

Subsequently, the leaderboard will refresh weekly for one day, ranking lords based on their strength and influence.

After the beast tide ends, lords who remain in the top tier will receive special rewards.

Uggh, how noisy, Bayou muttered, tossing and turning in bed, disturbed by the clamor so early in the morning.

What leaderboard? The leaderboard.

Suddenly, Byu's eyes sprang wide open as she sat up abruptly, disregarding the fallen blanket and the pink bunny exposed to the air.

Ah, this is just an official event.

It is indeed a game.

Bayou access the system panel and as expected noticed a new leaderboard feature on the far right of the main interface accompanied by a countdown.

65 hours 55 minutes 32 seconds.

She calculated the time.

It would conclude on the eighth day coinciding with the end of the beast tide.

By you clicked on the leaderboard to see which lords were notable.

Top tier top 1 0000 ID Flame Spirit Ultra Sun-in-law Troll Lord Lucky Angel Crab Yellow Castle Island Homeland Sky Overlord Second Tier Top 10 0000 ID King of the Forest Golden Lion King Stone Pillar Round Table Knight Tyrannosaurus Warrior Third tier top 100 000 ID.

Do you believe in light? Joker, God of Defense, Princess of the Great Tang on a Run, Great Mango, fourth tier, top 1, 0000 0.

Fifth tier, Beyond 1, 000000.

You are currently ranked top tier.

Bayou gazed at the leaderboard.

This ranking was quite reasonable.

Only the top 1 million lords were ranked, considering there were billions of lords in a magical continent.

Claiming to be first would be utterly absurd.

Many top tier lords possessed similar strengths, and without a genuine contest, it was difficult to ascertain who was truly superior.

Seeing her name among the top tier brought a crooked smile to Bayu's face.

I knew it.

My strength surely deserve a place among the top 1 000.

The systems rewards for the top 1 000 lords would be distributed to each, though she wondered what they might be.

If each lord received the same reward, it would be tantamount to receiving nothing.

In a classic canyon theory, an enemy's deceleration equates to one s own acceleration.

This would widen the gap between herself and those below the top tier.

The elite group of lords would remain unchanged.

Bayou also recognized many familiar names in the top tier, confirming that those who could offer food for trade in the preceding days were indeed among the most elite.

However, the leaderboard feature felt somewhat rudimentary, displaying only lord IDs and rankings.

lacking any additional functionalities.

One should be able to click on the names of these lords to view essential information.

While the omission of troop types may be comprehensible, it is reasonable to expect at least the castle's level to be displayed as it bears relevance.

Bayou harbored a sense of foroding.

Today marked the fifth day, and the castles of these lords in the first echelon were undoubtedly at level 9, fully upgraded and poised for town advancement at any moment.

Having awakened, there was no longer a desire for slumber.

Chapter 52.

Recycle, decompose, upgrade.

Bayou rolled out of bed and sauntered towards the wardrobe with a little rabbit bouncing along behind her.

What shall I wear today? Just as Bayou was deliberating over her outfit.

Xiaoi was rendered speechless by her ranking on the leaderboard.

Your rank is fifth tier.

Xiaoli Shiwa could hardly believe that she had failed to break into the top 100,000.

The realization struck her like a blow, shattering her composure.

"Is this some sort of joke? What a ridiculous system.

How could I, with a fully upgraded castle, not even make it into the top 100,000?" Xiao Yinshua exclaimed indignantly, clearly skeptical of the systems ranking.

"Surely her troops, despite lacking combat prowess, deserved a better standing.

" "Huh? Let me check if Xiaong Fortress is in the first here.

" Xiao Lianua needed to ascertain whether the ally she had latched on to was formidable enough.

The first tier comprised only 1,000 individuals and soon enough spotted the ID of Xiaawuang Fortress among them.

Indeed, it was there the disparity was astonishing.

However, she felt a wave of reassurance knowing that this esteemed figure was among the strongest in the first here.

She proceeded to the dining hall to indulge in her exquisite breakfast.

After four consecutive days of consuming roasted meat, Xiao Yianua was on the verge of nausea.

She felt several pounds heavier.

Unfortunately, in this barren wasteland, there were no vegetables to be found, and the mere sight of roasted meat began to provoke a physiological aversion within her.

Yesterday, over a dozen dwarves had sought refuge with Xiao Lein Shua, further escalating her food expenses.

Were it not for by us generous gift of 1500 food units, she would be fretting over her provisions once more.

With billions of lords populated across the realm, the numbers were staggering.

Within every 100 million, there existed a hundred who could boast of reaching a million.

Naturally, it was not surprising that Xiao Yinshi could not break into the top 100,000.

Although the leaderboard ranks overall strength, it primarily reflects the lord's individual capabilities.

At this moment, our chosen one, Bayou, dawned a sleek black short dress, her hair cascading in soft waves down her back, and her delicate feet adorned with a pair of casual sandals as she made her way into the courtyard.

Bayou had no intentions of leaving the castle today, allowing her the liberty to dress more casually within its confines.

In the courtyard, she inspected the spoils collected by the undead from the previous night.

Astonishingly, the triple experience boost had not propelled her to the commander level.

The experience required to ascend from level 9 to commander was daunting.

At the castle gates lay a pile of wood and stone, while the blackwater altar was submerged with the carcasses of numerous animals.

Recycle.

Congratulations, Lord.

Decompose.

Congratulations, Lord.

You have obtained just yesterday she had traded for a batch of food and today she had received an additional two 800 food units far more than she could consume.

By you open the trading post to review the orders she had set up the previous night.

Oh, splendid.

All transactions have been completed.

With a single click she claimed her rewards.

Congratulations Lord.

You have acquired four 200 magic crystals, 10 800 units of wood and five 400 units of stone.

The Holy Quartz Apprentice Knight set has been sold.

Yet, surprisingly, the buyer opted for a more expensive transaction using magic crystals rather than iron ingots.
