First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369: Return

Before he could fully process this revelation, the Golden Headband spoke once more, its voice echoing even more deeply in Orion’s mind:

[Congratulations for breaking the previous record and passing the 40th Step on your first attempt. You have been placed at the 10th Rank of this floor.]

Orion stared blankly at the space in front of him, speechless for several moments. His heart raced, realization slowly dawning upon him.

He had not only succeeded in a seemingly impossible challenge but also shattered a longstanding record on his first attempt. Even Lumi remained momentarily stunned, silent at Orion’s incredible feat.

"Ranked tenth already, huh?" Orion finally murmured softly, breaking the quiet stillness surrounding him.

Despite his battered condition, a small yet satisfied smile appeared on his lips. Still, exhaustion clouded his mind heavily, reminding him of the toll this achievement had exacted.

He slowly shook his head, gathering himself together. His expression softened slightly, a gentle sigh escaping his lips. "I should return now. I don’t even know how much time has passed here," Orion whispered, his voice faint. "Grandpa and Grandma must be worried sick." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lumi immediately echoed his concern, her voice gentle but anxious. [Yes, Master, it’s been months since we arrived here. They must be concerned as hell. Let’s hurry back for now. We can return to explore more later.]

Orion nodded slowly, casting one last lingering glance toward the crystalline stairway stretching endlessly upward, its radiant brilliance silently beckoning challengers forward.

Though eager to explore further, Orion knew that now was not the right moment. His current priority was returning home safely to ease his family’s worries.

Exhaling deeply once more, Orion quietly activated the Golden Headband, mentally commanding it to get him back.

Instantly, the headband responded. Warm golden light enveloped Orion gently, the familiar sensation comforting.

The staircase and the vast expanse around him slowly faded away, dissolving into particles of golden brilliance as Orion vanished entirely from sight.

Meanwhile, at the second zone, a large gathering of other trial takers who had silently watched Orion’s astonishing performance stood frozen, staring incredulously at the now-empty space where Orion had just vanished.

Shock and disbelief filled their expressions, whispers rapidly spreading among the stunned observers.

"Did you see that? He cleared the 40th Step on his first attempt! That’s unheard of!"

"Who exactly is this dude?!"

Without further hesitation, several individuals rushed toward a towering, ornate board placed beside the staircase, a special ranking board reserved for the highest achievers among challengers.

Their eyes widened collectively in astonishment upon seeing the glowing new entry placed clearly at the tenth spot:

[10th Rank - Primus]

Whispers erupted among the gathered crowd, voices filled with surprise, curiosity, and a slight hint of envy.

"Another monster has joined us. How are we supposed to compete with someone who clears the 40th Step on their first try?"

"How did he get access to the Monkey King’s legacy? It couldn’t have been easy. Is he one of those rare geniuses chosen directly by Lord Wukong himself?"

Others nodded solemnly, understanding that the Monkey King’s legacy could be obtained through numerous methods. Some discovered the corpse of a previous trial taker, others inherited it from their predecessors, others luckily chanced upon it without a trial, and many more.

Yet among all the different kinds of trial takers, a single particular group stood out—the people who passed the test of Wukong himself.

Everyone wondered which category Primus belonged to.
