Opening up System's interface, he checked the quest "Ascend the rankings", he completed the quest up to being among the top 10. He still has to take a ranking spot among the top 3 though.

　　However, to do that…

　　Wu Yan looked at Astrea, then, he looked at Mikoto before he lowered his head in dejection. He didn't stand a chance against the two of them.

　　Astrea has far better stats than him, she's also stronger than Jaafar, her close-combat capabilities are also off the charts. He already had such a hard time against Jaafar, he would only get slaughtered if he went up against Astrea.

　　Mikoto's level is around the same level as Jaafar but she only lost slightly to Sylph who had a gold armament. This meant that she could easily have fought Sylph on even ground if she didn't have a gold armament.

　　Moreover, Wu Yan's ability is a copy of Mikoto's ability, Wu Yan didn't have confidence he could overcome the ability's original owner.

　　If he can't beat Mikoto, he can forget about beating Sylph.

　　At the moment, at least, the top 3 ranking spots are out of his hands.

　　The other quest to ascend through the floors of the arena tower would be similar in difficulty. He has already completed the challenge up to floor 5 so he has to take on the floormaster of the sixth floor. Sylph, Caah, and Jaafar can't break past floor 6, these students who are the cream of the crop can't ascend to floor 7, he can't breakthrough floor 6 as well.

　　These two quests won't see much progress until he reaches level 70…

　　After the fight with Jaafar, Wu Yan found out that his level had gone up by 1 to level 69. One more level and Wu Yan would become a tier 8 individual.

　　He already achieved the impossible by triumphing over a tier 8 at tier 7, who's to say he wouldn't stand a chance against the sixth floor's floormaster?

　　This level is deceptively simple in appearance. Wu Yan still remembered how Mikoto took forever to rise to tier 8. If not for the hardworking sisters grinding away in the giant beast forest, he wouldn't level up even after defeating Jaafar.

　　Wu Yan reckons he's going to be at this level for a long time, absent an epic amount of effort.

　　Perhaps, it's time to come up with a plan.
