A screen of light materialized.
Everyone saw a freshly updated leaderboard.
Current First Place: Xia Race, Han Ning — Clear Time: 2s.
Second Place: Blood Shark, Shakong — Clear Time: 5s.
Third Place: Barbaric Beast, Stone Tiger — Clear Time: 6s.

"Han Ning? Who's that? How could he possibly have killed Mang Sha's physical body in two seconds?!"
Deep within the 38th palace, a creature covered in multi-colored coral stared at the rankings on the light screen and muttered to itself.
"The Xia Race... I've never heard of such a race..."
Inside the 39th palace, a massive shadow sat enthroned, its expression cold.
"Han Ning... That guy has finally entered the Sea God Palace."
Ruiyue sat inside a colossal palace, her expression complicated as she looked at Han Ning's name on her Escape Bubble.
It was a mixture of resentment, anger, and an unwillingness to concede defeat.
