"Yea, I'm just messing around in the game, just for fun!" Zhang Yang said. Right after he came into his office, he had taken out his game helmet straightaway, ready to plug into the game. Before he could do that, this mesmerizingly disastrous new girl had walked right into his office.

"Mr Zhang should have reached quite a high level in the game, I assume." Chen Xue Yao was a little surprised to see that Zhang Yang was also a player for the game, "I just started playing the game a few days ago! I'm just Level 9. Please teach me how to be a good player!"

Looking at her eyes filled with excitement and expectancy, Zhang Yang was moved. So he nodded. However, she would surely become another popular female player among the men in the game. They would surely fall for her, even if she was just walking around in the game. Only if she used her real-life appearance in the game, of course. Well, she could just ask those men to help her. So why would she still need Zhang Yang's help then?

Could it be, that she knew Zhang Yang was Zhan Yu in the game?

Unlikely! Only a minority knew his true identity in real life. Well, only those who went to join the Soaring Swords competition in Shang Hai would have seen his face in person anyway. As he recalled back throughout his entire life, he did not get so bored that he would go to tell anyone about his life and his game life, at all. Wait a minute… Could this be a scheme from Liu Wei or Zhong Xiu Hua?

It was unlikely that Liu Wei would do such a thing. The reason was simple. Look at her appearance! Even Zhang Yang felt 'heaty' upon taking a look at her! Not to mention that Zhang Yang himself felt the urge to loosen his 'brother' from his pants! Well, he almost did! Would Liu Wei be able to resist at all? Liu Wei would have 'collected' this girl as his own, instead of sending her out to be a spy.

On the other hand, things would be a little bit different for Zhong Xiu Hua. His capability was far beyond Zhang Yang's imagination. He might be determined to destroy the relationship Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu had now. And the easiest way to do it was to make known to the girl that his man cheated!

Not many men could have resisted the 'temptation' that Chen Xue Yao wrought onto them. If he really did get touchy with her and she happened to have a camera somewhere to record everything, then Zhang Yang would be done for!

So could it be real, then?

Zhang Yang fell silent for a brief moment as he went into deep thought about the situation. Well, he had been through a lot just to get together with Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue. They had also been through so much together that he no longer craved just for their bodies. Even though this Chen Xue Yao looked honeyed and ready for him to 'taste', but Zhang Yang believed that he could get himself in line to not turn himself into a horny beast.

If Chen Xue Yao was really sent here by Zhong Xiu Hua, then he should be able to use her to get back at Zhong Xiu Hua! Furthermore, that accusation was just in his head alone. Maybe this girl was innocent, after all? We shall see about that.

Well, coming from another perspective, even though Zhang Yang did not have any thoughts of getting in bed with Chen Xue Yao, but the love for appealing aesthetics is native to humans, afterall. There was no denying in that. Zhang Yang could have an extra eye candy to himself by keeping her around the office. Other than that, if Zhang Yang decides to fire her right away, her next boss might not be a decent boss. Her future boss might use all sorts of methods of getting her to submit to him. It was infuriating even to think about that!

A while later, Chen Xue Yao brought in another brand new game helmet with her when she walked back into the office. Her round, peachy buttocks rested on the sofa and she crossed her long fair legs, sitting down on the sofa elegantly. That sexy hot movement could really get a thirsty man to drool!

"Mr. Zhang, just add me as your Friend after you log into the game!" Chen Xue Yao said.

Zhang Yang nodded and put on his game helmet. He signed in and arrived at the Souron's Castle.

"Mr. Zhang, my in-game name is just 'Xue Yao'. Remember to add me!"

Zhang Yang brought up his Friend-list. Then he entered the name 'Xue Yao' into the system to search for her. A Friend Request was sent to her and in just a blink of an eye, she accepted his Friend Request.

He looked at the Friend-list to have a look at her avatar information: Xue Yao, Level 9, Female Elf, Cryomancer.

She really did tell him the truth. She was currently Level 9! That meant that she really did join the game very recently! The game rule have stated everyone could only have one account, one character in the game. Well, there was also a possibility to ignore a dummy account sometimes. Of course, it might be because she deleted her old account and started a new one. However, Zhang Yang could not understand her true intentions just yet.

"Huh? Mr. Zhang! You're at Level 153 now?! You're awesome!" Chen Xue Yao spoke in surprise. That really stroked his ego for a bit. However, the fact that she did not know the renowned 'Zhan Yu' had proven that she was really a rookie, a newbie!

"Just call me Zhan Yu in the game. It's a little awkward to hear someone calling me Mr. Zhang!"

"Roger, Mr, Zhang… Zhan Yu!"

Chen Xue Yao did not request for Zhang Yang to aid her in grinding her level. Instead, Zhang Yang was the one who insisted on lending her a hand. He explained to her on how to play as a Spellcaster. Then, the two of them went off separately to grind their levels.

However, Chen Xue Yao would report her progress to Zhang Yang in excitement, every time she reached another new level. It was most probably because she did not know anyone in the game yet. However, her grinding efficiency was not really ideal, to begin with. When Zhang Yang was still at her level, he could have grind 3 levels up with the same amount of time it takes for her to gain 1 level.

Currently, the 4 ladies had become one gang. They basically did everything together. Zhang Yang could not help but wonder, weren't that witchy snow and that ice queen sworn enemies? So, how could they suddenly be able to get along in harmony all of a sudden? They're in the same party in grinding their levels? How odd!

Women's minds are indeed fascinating!

A while ago, he was requested by the four ladies to grind with them. Apparently, they had found a new spot which would spawn a large number of Elite Tier monsters. However, they could not slay the monsters without Zhang Yang shielding them from getting slaughtered by the large horde of monsters. Furthermore, their Inheritance Transformation Skills were still under cooldown period. So, they had to ask Zhang Yang for a favor.

However, Wei Yan Er kept saying that they asked him to come because they wanted to share good 'fortune' with him. They would not have shared such a good spot otherwise.

In other words, the little brat… no, the 4 ladies wanted him to feel grateful for becoming their 'errand boy'!

In that monster area, there was a narrow pathway by the side of it. Zhang Yang and his Phoenix pet could block the entire pathway if they could just stand side by side in the middle of the pathway. Sun Xin Yu and the other ladies were positioned right behind Zhang Yang and the Phoenix pet. They were the DPS players in this battle. In approximately 30 minutes, the five of them had wiped out every existence of monsters in that area. Their Experience Bars grew substantially from that.

If only there were such great number of Elite Tier monsters for them to farm for Experience Points anywhere else on the map. They would have reached a whole new level by the end of the day! Unfortunately, their 'if only' was just a distant dream that could never become true. It would not be possible to do so unless they mobilize the entire army of Lone Desert Smoke out, scouring every inch of the maps in the entire game for similar spots with large number of monsters. Then, they could just travel from one spot to another in order to claim their 'prizes'.

However, it would take quite some time for players to travel around on a large map. Though they would not suffer any loss by the end of it, it would take them approximately 4 to 5 days to grind a level. That should be the maximum speed of current stage players in grinding their level up. However, Zhang Yang and the ladies would be wasting the time of their guild members. It would be a huge loss for Lone Desert Smoke as a whole, because they would be too busy to aid Zhang Yang and the ladies to level up, instead of grinding their own levels up efficiently.

"Master Zhan Yu, can you come over and tank for us in a dungeon?" Not long after Zhang Yang parted ways with the ladies, he received a voice message from Chen Xue Yao. He was shopping at the Auction House.

Tank for them? In which dungeon?

Zhang Yang frowned a little. This girl had just reached Level 12. She could only enter some low-level dungeon at the moment! Meanwhile, even if she is going to challenge the Hardcore Mode of the dungeon, she would only need a Level 50 player with average equipment to clear it without a single problem. Even if it is a Priest or a Holy Knight, she could have cleared the dungeon with only one Level 50 player's help.

Now that she requested Zhang Yang to aid her in clearing low-level dungeons, well… Zhang Yang did not know whether he should just laugh it off or cry it off loud.

Newbie! She's just a newbie!

Furthermore, she is actually the type of newbie that knew a little about the game. She knew that she needed a tanker to tank against monsters in the dungeon. So if Zhang Yang ever tries to show off his 'knowledge' about the game, he might make a fool out of himself without even knowing if he ever misinforms her about something.

So, Zhang Yang smiled it off and decided to help out. He thought to himself, that he had not been showing off for quite a while. If he goes to 'tank' the dungeon for Chen Xue Yao as the Number One Tanker in the entire world, she should get a shock, right?

Another reason was because he had been farming for quite a while now. Trying to do something different was what he needed. So, he accepted Chen Xue Yao's request. Upon finding out which main city to go, Zhang Yang teleported over to the main city and summoned out his Phoenix pet. Then, he flew right away to the location where Chen Xue Yao was. However, his Phoenix pet would give up his identity. It would be impossible to keep his identity as a secret if Chen Xue Yao ever sees his Phoenix pet. So, he went to the ground and switched out Whitey, long before he reached her. Then he hopped onto Whitey and the two of them raced their butts over to the girl.

"Here! Over here!" right by the entrance of the dungeon, Chen Xue Yao was waving her staff, trying to get Zhang Yang to see her. She was wearing a set of shabby equipment from head to toe. Zhang Yang felt sad for her. Other than the cape and the staff, everything was just White-Wood Tier.

Small maps would clearly show the positions of every player within a certain distance from the player in the map as long as they are not too far from each other. She was obviously a newbie, because she actually did not know about that function of the game. Instead, she was yelling and waving at Zhang Yang from afar. Obviously, she had never played 'God's Miracle' or other games that are similar to this game in her entire life.

Because of that, she did not even try to change some settings on her appearance at all. Her face was the exact copy of her real face in real life. It was enchanting to look at. Zhang Yang could not even look at her in disdain because of her face. He only knew how to stare at her without a blink of his eyes.

"Ms. Xue Yao, is this the tanker that you summoned?" There were more than just Zhang Yang and Xue Yao on the party. There were other three male players. However, the player with the highest level was at Level 27. The other two players were only Level 22 and Level 16. Well, at least they met the requirement to challenge the dungeon that they were going into.

The player who spoke was 'Unkillable Cockroach'. He was the player who had reached Level 27. At first, he was farming equipment and Experience Points together with his colleagues in Marzerway's Lair. After hearing about a pretty low-level lady player wanting to go into the Banka Underground Tunnel, he quit Marzerway's Lair and joined Chen Xue Yao's party.

After seeing Chen Xue Yao with his own eyes, he instantly got electrocuted. Why would he want any equipment when a mesmerizing existence like Chen Xue Yao is standing right in front of him? If the system did not have the Anti-harassment System, he would have satisfied his itch by pushing himself onto her, even though they were in the game.

To get the attention of Chen Xue Yao, he even purposely brought along another low-level player with him. However, it was really hard to get a high-leveled player, these days. Same goes for locating low-level players. It was not because the number of low-level players was too small. It was because normal guilds normally do not recruit low-level players. That was because the player's standard could not be determined when their levels are too low. Furthermore, it would be uncourteous to kick people out of the guild once they had joined.

Even though the three of them were also newbies in 'God's Miracle', but they seemed to have played other similar games, just that their levels were a little low for now. They were not really newbies to begin with. They had never expected Chen Xue Yao to find a super high-level Tanker to join them.

Players could only get a pet mount once they attain Level 30. None of them believed that Zhang Yang was just Level 30, even though he had hidden his character information. Well, they could tell that Zhang Yang could crush everything in the dungeon all alone. There would not be any 'tanking' or whatsoever!

Newbies!

However, the three male players were much happier when Chen Xue Yao was much more noob. That being said, they could show off quite a number of things in front of her. Unfortunately, they were irked by this 'newcomer' that Chen Xue Yao summoned over. He actually hid his character information from them! Pui! Was he trying to act like he was some sort of professional player? Not to mention that Level 100 players were all over the place now. So, what was his true intention in trying to hide his information from the others, then? Beware getting struck by lightning for trying to act cool! Those were the thoughts that ran through the minds of three jealous male players.

At the earlier stage of the game, players would be able to see character information of other players when they were joined into the same party. Their Names, Races, levels, and Classes were all visible to their own party members. However, ever since the Chaos Realm had been unlocked, the game had changed some of its functionalities. Now, the character information of a player would only become visible when he or she enters the land of their enemy Regions. Or else, the character information of a player would stay hidden even after they were join the same party. Only friends on the Friend List could see the character information of the player or the other way around.

Therefore, Zhang Yang's character information remained hidden, even after Chen Xue Yao added him into her party.

Chapter 700: Snowbark

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If they had known that Chen Xue Yao would summon a high-level Tanker to aid them, they would have suggested looking for a Tanker themselves. If Unkillable Cockroach's colleague could bring him to farm the Level 20 dungeon, then they would not have problems clearing this dungeon at all.

At first, the three male players were competing against each other to see who could win the girl over. They were trying to show off their strong suites one after another. A fight almost exploded among them, even. However, when Zhang Yang showed himself, the three of them agreed on to stand on the same line to repel their 'strongest competitor'.

"This is the CEO of the company where I work at!" Chen Xue Yao smiled sweetly at them.

Is this some sort of joke? A hidden story between the boss and his secretary? Damn!

The three of them revealed a strong sense of jealousy on their faces. A thousand thoughts were racing through their minds at the same instant. Like a knave who uses his own yardstick to measure the motive of an upright man, some filthy people might have imagined others to be just like themselves.

Although Whitey could not match Phoenix pet at all, it did not take long before it reached the entrance of the dungeon. After seeing that the place was empty, Zhang Yang sighed with all sorts of feelings welling up in his mind. Two years ago when the Banka Underground Tunnel was first unlocked, this place used to be so crowded that it looked like a bank or an Auction house. There was no need to worry that one could not find a party to enter the dungeon.

Zhang Yang had currently reached Level 153, and he was leading the Number One guild in the entire game server. Furthermore, he had conquered a total of 3 Territories. Not to mention, he was no longer the newbie who freshly joined. He had become one of the best players, no… the best player in the entire game server! Now that he changed so much, he could not help but to feel emotional when he saw that everything here still remained the same, except there was no crowd here.

"Banka Underground Tunnel is a 10-player scale dungeon. Why don't we look for another high Level player first before we start?" Unkillable Cockroach gave Zhang Yang an unfriendly stare. Then, he suddenly stopped moving. It was most probably that he was sending private messages to look for players.

Zhang Yang was shocked for a brief moment. Then he understood -- over the greatest beauty hangs the greatest ruin! Some girls were just too pretty to be true. As long as you stay by her side, you would catch some fire unintentionally and you might even get yourself burned! Zhang Yang did not mind and he smiled it off. Well, he was here to show off, anyway. So he just had to continue what he was trying to do.

Unkillable Cockroach asked Chen Xue Yao to add another player called 'SuikaTaro' into their party. That guy was complaining about them asking him to come. Well, he was about to hit Level 100 and he was just one step before entering Chaos Realm. If he was not Unkillable Cockroach's colleague, he would not have come here, even though they paid him 1,000 gold pieces.

Unkillable Cockroach instantly taunted Zhang Yang by staring at him. Can you hear him? Our friend is about to hit Level 100! So don't you think that you're the only one with high level now!

Zhang Yang was bored. So he took out all sorts of materials and began to make potions. When Unkillable Cockroache and his friends saw Zhang Yang making potions such as [Armor Piercing Potions, [Invincibility Potion] and [Level 6 Healing Potions, they began to drool. Although they had not reached the Required Level to consume those potions just yet, they knew enough to know that these potions were extremely valuable!

-- Zhang Yang's Little Merchandize Shop had turned into a second Auction House in the server. Countless players would visit his shop to make purchase of things they required on a daily basis. Whatever valuable and good, anyone who had set foot into his Little Merchandize Shop would know. The items that were demanded the most would surely be [Armor Piercing Potions] and [Temporary Invincibility Potions].

Zhang Yang was also a Grandmaster grade Alchemist. He could make 10 Potions in one single process. If he could perform the process once in every second, he could have made 600 potions in just one minute!

The three of them were drooling because they knew that one bottle of that [Temporary Invincibility Potion] could cost up to 500 gold pieces. With that price tag, the items was still out of stock very often! If they could just get the potions that Zhang Yang made to the market and sell them, how much money could they make out of them?

Hundreds of thousands gold pieces? Or maybe Millions?

How can this fellow be so rich!

Zhang Yang had never been short on ingredients required to make potions. He would constantly let his Herb Foraging Familiar out to gather the ingredients. Of course, he did not do that in this dungeon. The reason was simple. The Herb Foraging Familiar was paid, according to time. The herbs and other ingredients that could be found on this map were definitely of low Tier. Zhang Yang would not be able to even cover the cost of summoning the Herb Foraging Familiar in that case.

Since making potions required time and patience, Zhang Yang was willing to wait for that 'VIP' SuikaTaro to come over. After waiting for approximately 25 minutes, SuikoTaro finally came together with his white ram pet mount. The moment when he saw Chen Xue Yao, his arrogant face instantly vanished. Instead, his eyes was glowing violently, as he was staring at Chen Xue Yao with a sense of horniness on his face.

"Haha! So you guys want to repeat clearing this dungeon, right? No problem! Even though the Hardcore Mode of the dungeon would only refresh once in every 3 days, we can still enter the Normal Mode and the Hard Mode repeatedly without any restrictions, whatsoever!" Although SuikoTaro was talking, his eyes were fixed on Chen Xue Yao.

Chen Xue Yao had a glimpse of doubt on her face. Well, she was indeed a true newbie here. She only knew that Tankers were meant to tank the monsters out front, and the Healers would be healing from the rear. The DPS players would be dealing damage from whichever angle, suitable according to the situation of the battle. However, she basically had zero knowledge of levels and equipment. Hence, she felt strange upon hearing SuikoTaro, a Thief, saying that out loud.

They began their farming with the Normal Mode. Zhang Yang did not try to snatch SuikoTaro's opportunity of showing himself off. He only let Whitey handle the monsters while he was making potions at the rear. Time was precious. There was no way that he would waste his time killing low-level monsters.

With a Level 99 Thief and Whitey's support attacks, their progress was so efficient that they could not believe it themselves. Well, Whitey was basically abandoned in Zhang Yang's inventory. It was only Level 124 currently. Furthermore, Zhang Yang had ripped off most of its Skills. So, Whitey could only deal a limited amount of damage.

-- Because Whitey did not have any AoE Skill, SuikoTaro could lure a bunch of monsters and wiped them out with his {Blades of Fan}. So, Whitey's damage was just simply not enough when it was compared to SuikoTaro's.

SuikoTaro felt like a boss because he was clearing the entire dungeon like a boss, literally! Meanwhile, he continued to brag about himself while he was clearing out the monsters. Well, he was trying to butter himself nicely so that Chen Xue Yao could have a good impression about him. As he talked nonstop in front of the girl, the other 3 male players were beginning to feel irritated.

"Brother Liu, the new manager of that department is a rich and handsome man! Many girls have fallen for him, you know? You better make sure your wife doesn't get hooked away!" Unkillable Cockroach said. Firstly, he said it out loud was to stop SuikoTaro from bragging on about himself. Secondly, he wanted to inform Chen Xue Yao that this man already had a wife.

SuikoTaro was very unhappy about it. So he said, "Pui! Even though he's tall and rich and handsome, but what else can he do? My wife had told me once before! That man is just looking good on the outside! That little brother of his beneath his pants is just 2 inches long!"

"Haha!" The men were laughing together.

However, they stopped all of a sudden. The situation became awkward all of a sudden.

How would his wife know how long is the other man's 'little brother'? Obviously, SuikoTaro had been put on a green cap. In other words, his wife cheated on him with that man that they were talking about.

For the next few minutes, everyone stayed quiet while clearing up the monsters in the surroundings.

Because only Chen Xue Yao and another Thief called 'DodoRyu' had a need to farm the dungeon, everything that was dropped from the monsters were given to either of them only. So, there was no snatching or quarreling among them, because they tend to resolve that matter in a civilized manner. Well, Chen Xue Yao had no idea whether an item or an equipment was good or bad. The others had to explain things one by one so that she could understand things bit by bit. Through that, she finally understood that Intelligence Attribute could boost one's Spell attack power, and Spirit Attribute could increase the rate of MP recovery.

After clearing up the Hardcore Mode of the dungeon, the four men that were basically drugged by the mesmerizing appearance of Chen Xue Yao were tapping on their chests suggesting that they would be more than willing to aid her in grinding her level. They even tried to boast that they could help her level up another 20 levels more. Upon doing so, they would then take her to the Marzerway's Lair for another farming session. Zhang Yang rubbed his nose a little bit. Well, he was almost done with making potions. There was no point that he should stay behind for all this.

Unfortunately for him, he did not have a chance to show off in front of Chen Xue Yao.

After Zhang Yang made up his mind to leave, they walked out of the dungeon. Suddenly, Zhang Yang noticed that there was another bunch of players arrived at the entrance of the dungeon. They were carrying the title of 'The Myth! Their leader was a Spellcaster wearing fancy clothes named 'Snowbark'. He was currently at Level 142. He was the most powerful one among that bunch of players.

Zhang Yang instantly felt a rage blazing right in his heart. This Snowbark, was one of the two second graded generals that served under Liu Wei in his previous life. During his previous life when he was leading Clear Water, this Snowbark and the other second graded general called 'All Beetles' would always lead their own party to slaughter the members of Clear Water who were trying to grind their levels. They worked together, trying to bully Zhang Yang's guild members by using the advantages of having high levels.

During that period of time, Clear Water hated Liu Wei, Snowbark and All Beetles the most for that reason. Some had even made puppets with their names on them, trying to curse them.

"The Myth is grinding here! Anyone who is not one of us should get lost now!" One of them spoke arrogantly.

What a bunch of arrogant sons of b*tches! Everyone could make their room for the dungeon. It would not bother them at all if there were others there to clear the dungeon as well. These people were actually trying to clear everyone out of the dungeon for their own joy? That was not a normal kind of arrogance anymore!

However, Zhang Yang had never really cared about the people from The Myth. Meanwhile, SuikaTaro and the others had no balls at all to be so cocky in front of those people. Although The Myth was not considered as one of the top Tier guild, under the showering of Liu Wei's money, the guild still managed to grow into one of the large-scale guild. Well, they were still too powerful for SuikaTaro and his friends to take these people on/

Furthermore, casting aside the name of the guild, that Snowbark was Level 142, currently If he wanted to, he could have instantly taken out SuikaTaro and his friends by just moving his fingers. So SuikaTaro and his friends were not daring enough to 'bark' back at them even if they wanted to.

"Hold on!" A Berserker fixed his eyes on Chen Xue Yao and widened his eyes. Then he said, "Brother Snow, look at that chick!"

"What a decent, fine looking chick!"

"What the f*ck! That *ss and those tits! Her top is going to rip at any moment! Look at that!"

"If I can rub my d*ck in between her two tits, that would be heaven!"

Foul and indecent words were heard talking right out of those idiots' mouths. People of The Myth were fixing their perverted eyes on Xue Yao. They looked like hungry wolves which were staring at a harmless lamb!

"Leave the girl behind and you guys, get lost!" Snowbark spoke in disdain.

"Quickly! Into the dungeon!" SuikaTaro was not an idiot. He knew that as long as they get back into the dungeon, they would be safe from these group of goons. No matter how powerful they were, there would be no way for them to pursue them.

They quickly went back into the dungeon one after another. When they were in the dungeon, all they needed to do was to take out their [Teleportation Scrolls, and they could just go back to the main city or Territory.

"Huh? Where's Zhan Yu?" Xue Yao was doing a headcount. She was surprised when she realized that Zhang Yang was not with them. Then she said, "Oh no! Zhan Yu hasn't come through yet! He must have been cut off by those hoodlums! We must get back and help him!"

"Zhan Yu?" the other 4 players began to laugh, "Sister Xue Yao, you're cheated! Zhan Yu is known as the Number One player in the entire server, the best player in the entire world! How can that fool be really him?!"

"That's right! He thought he can hide his character information so that he can disguise himself as Zhan Yu? What a naive man he is!"

"No wonder he did not even try to do anything while we were busting our *sses, trying to clear the dungeon! So, he was actually scared that we might see through him!"

"Sister Xue Yao, this cheater deserves to be killed! We don't have to care about him at all. Since we've completed the dungeon, we can go back to the main city to hand in the quest. We can take you to another place to grind your level!"

"Furthermore, if he is the real Zhan Yu, he could have taken out them all without a problem at all! He won't need our help at all!"

The four of them were trying to talk Chen Xue Yao out of helping Zhang Yang. From their point of view, Zhang Yang was just like them. The reason he approached Chen Xue Yao was to get her to sleep with him in bed.

Chapter 701: Book of Revelations - The Eighth Chapter

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even though Snowbark was already a Level 142 high level player, he would not be fast enough to stop SuikoTaro and his party members from getting away through the entrance of the dungeon. For that, they could only sigh heavily, to express how unfortunate it was for them. After all, it was really a rare opportunity for them to gaze their eyes upon a rare specimen of beauty like Chen Xue Yao.

However, there was one person who stayed behind instead of running into the dungeon like the other 5 of his party members. Snowbark burst into laughter when he saw that. Since that the pretty lady had escaped, they decided to have some 'fun' with the idiot who stayed.

"You swine! You're quite daring yourself, aren't you?" Three of The Myth players blocked off Zhang Yang's escape route so that he could not escape later. The remaining players in front of Zhang Yang were staring at Zhang Yang with their arms folded. They looked like they were waiting for something 'interesting' to happen.

"Alright, take off all your equipment and bark like a dog, now!" Snowbark laughed continuously.

"Take them off now! Take them off!" the others were beginning to hustle Zhang Yang up.

Zhang Yang pulled out his [Sword of Purging Devourer] and smiled vaguely. Then he said, "I'm not like you. You guys rather act like animals while you can act like human beings!"

"F*ck you! How dare you scold us!" one of them who was only Level 10 pulled out his blade and pointed at Zhang Yang. Well, he tried to act tough because Snowbark was there.

Pff!

Zhang Yang was not in the mood to play around. He stabbed his sword hard into the chest of that player. His sword went through the chest of the player clean and caused 100,000 damage to the arrogant player. It was just a regular attack which caused an immensely terrifying amount of damage! That attack had completely killed off that player. With a powerful swing of his word, the dead body of that player spun midair and dropped heavily onto the ground.

Most of the players had experienced a PvP match. However, not all of them would have the opportunity to see such a bloody scene. In an instant, other than Snowbark himself, the others were terrified to the point that they froze. They were all just Level 10. It was a coincidence that Snowbark brought his little brother along to grind their levels. So, they came here together to farm for Experience Points and Equipment.

Well, the player that got slaughtered by Zhang Yang was in fact Snowbarks's little brother. He just joined 'God's Miracle' a couple of days ago. Because he had an elder brother who had reached Level 142, he thought that he could act like a boss in the game. Even though he saw that the equipment on Zhang Yang and flashy as f*ck, he still taunted Zhang Yang. Judging by the appearance of Zhang Yang's shiny equipment, anyone should know that Zhang Yang was definitely not a low level player.

Of course, Snowbark could not bear to see his little brother killed right in front of him. So he raised his staff and shot out a blast of flame towards Zhang Yang.

'-8,763!'

An insignificant amount of damage was dealt on Zhang Yang. That only moved about 1% of his HP bar. After all, Zhang Yang's Maximum HP had increased up to 950,000 HP.

Including Snowbark himself, everyone dropped their jaws, staring at Zhang Yang! They were all on the same party as Snowbark. So they could clearly see the amount of damage Snowbark caused on Zhang Yang. He had only dealt approximately 9,000 damage to a player they had thought weak. Judging by that, they could deduce that Zhang Yang had over 1,000,000 HP!

He must have activated his Transformation Skill!

Snowbark had more experience and knowledge than everyone in his party. He immediately made an assumption based on his own logic. He quickly took a few steps backward so that he could defend himself against any surprise attack form Zhang Yang. At the same instant, he also activated his own Transformation Skill -- Class C Infernal Wolf Inheritance!

Zhang Yang staggered for one brief moment upon seeing that. What the hell is wrong with this guy? Zhang Yang had not revealed his true identity yet, and this guy was already acting extra cautious. He even activated his final triumph card! However, Zhang Yang would never waste his {God of War Transformation} on a small fry, like Snowbark. So he charged towards Snowbark without activating his Inheritance Transformation.

"You prick! How dare you kill my little brother! I shall tear you into pieces!" Snowbark became more confident than before after he activated his Inheritance Transformation. He raised his staff and pointed its tip at Zhang Yang. Then he began to chant a spell.

{Lure}!

Zhang Yang waved his hand and activated his Skill. Snowbark could feel that he was being pulled by an irresistible force towards Zhang Yang. The force was so strong that Snowbark almost kissed Zhang Yang's face after he was pulled to Zhang Yang's front, and stopped there all of a sudden. Of course, his chanting had been interrupted, completely.

'-112,349!'

With a swing across his throat, Snowbark received a tremendous amount of damage. He initially had over 180,000 HP. Upon activating his Inheritance Transformation, he boosted his Maximum HP up to a total of 1,800,000 HP. Of course, he could not afford to receive such a high amount of damage! Furthermore, that was not the only attack Zhang Yang launched. Upon his regular strike which filled up his Rage Bar, he activated his {God of War Battle Axe} closely with his previous attack and dealt '-328,733!' to Snowbark! Zhang Yang had begun revealing his wretched claws at his 'victims'.

Let's just say if Snowbark takes the first hit without dying, the second hit that yet to land on him would be a fatal blow to his guts!

He quickly activated his {Apparate} and got himself out of the danger with the attempt to pull some distance between himself and Zhang Yang. However, Zhang Yang pursued on with his {Charge}. It was impossible to chant a spell in peace when you're confronting Zhang Yang!

"God damn it!" Snowbark began to panic. He gulped down a bottle of [Temporary Invincibility Potion] and a golden light flashed through his entire body. A glittering barrier covered him entirely, keeping him safe from Zhang Yang's attacks. So he no longer feared Zhang Yang anymore. He used the little time he bought for himself to chant his spell.

It was really ironic that this guy was using a [Temporary Invincibility Potion] that Zhang Yang mass-produced in the market. It was like crushing a rock on one's feet. Zhang Yang could not help but laugh at himself. However, the effect of the potion would wear off after 5 seconds. So, Zhang Yang allowed Snowbark to do what he wanted to do.

Snowbark threw out two spells at Zhang Yang consecutively. Each blow caused about 75,000 damage to Zhang Yang. With his Inheritance Transformation activated, Snowbark had acquired a boost of additional 200% damage that almost doubled the initial amount of damage he could deal on Zhang Yang. That had made his attack quite effective on Zhang Yang!

If another regular player without activating his or her Inheritance Transformation was standing there, these two hits would have taken at least half of his or her HP bar! Zhang Yang lost over 20% of his HP. Because of that, Zhang Yang's remaining HP was almost similar to Snowbark's HP now.

After seeing Snowbark performing outstandingly, his 'underlings' were screaming and shouting in excitement. They even tried to butter Snowbark up by saying some nice hearing words. However, good things will never last forever. 5 seconds later, the golden barrier faded. The effect of the [Temporary Invincibility Potion] was over.

1 second before the effect of [Temporary Invincibility Potion] was over, Zhang Yang had activated his {Charge Up Strike}. The moment Snowbark came out of that protective 'egg shell', Zhang Yang's 1-second global cooldown for his Skills was over as well. He struck his {God of War Devastation} right in the face of Snowbark!

'-1,010,658!'

Before Snowbark could even react, his HP bar was struck down to approximately 300,000 HP! Meanwhile, he had not realized that his HP bar had reduced so much. He continued to chant his spell in comfort.

On the other hand, his 'underlings' could see everything, crystal clear from the side. They were so shocked that their eyes were wide open, and their jaws were dropped.

One single attack that could cause 1,000,000 damage? What sorcery was that?! In their puny hearts, 1,000,000 damage was so terrifying that even a Celestial Tier boss would be instantly killed!

Snowbark finally threw another {Fire Ball} at Zhang Yang and caused about 82,000 damage to him. Just as he was about to taunt Zhang Yang, he finally realized that his HP bar was about to hit the bottom. His face instantly turned pale.

{Killing Cleave}!

'-472,212!'

"Argh!" Snowbark did not even get his chance to activate his life-saving Skill or any other accessories that could have saved his life -- only if he ever had an Accessory that could grant him a brief moment of invincibility to begin with, which he did not. Or else, he would not have taken a bottle of [Temporary Invincibility Potion]. One bottle of that thing cost 500 gold pieces! It was extremely expensive! After screaming miserably like a little b*tch, he collapsed onto the ground and dead.

However, after one brief moment, he stood back up on his feet and both of his HP bar and MP bar went back up to 10%! He did not even look back at Zhang Yang as he began to race towards the dungeon's entrance.

Huh?

Zhang Yang was shocked to see that. Could Snowbark be carrying a [Resurrection Monolith] with him all the while? That was some great stuff! Zhang Yang was determined to snatch that item from Snowbark.

He immediately activated his {Spear of Obliteration} and threw the energy surging spear straight towards Snowbark! However, Snowbark was agile. He ran so fast that he was already reaching the dungeon entrance. Well, it remained a big question on whether Zhang Yang's {Spear of Obliteration} hits Snowbark or not!

On that critical moment, 4 players charged out of the entrance! It was Chen Xue Yao and the other male players, except SuikoTaro.

Snowbark revealed a relief facial expression when he was just a few steps from entering the dungeon entrance. However, he froze immediately when the 4 shadows emerged from the entrance. Before he could even react, his body had smacked straight into Unkillable Cockroach! That stopped him from entering the dungeon in time. Meanwhile, the {Spear of Obliteration} arrived!

'-118,893!'

The Inheritance Transformation would be considered over once the player died. Snowbark only had 10% of HP and MP on him when he was resurrected. That being said, he only had approximately 18,000 HP left on him. There was no way that he could have survived that attack. He immediately let out a miserable scream once again and stayed dead on the ground this time! Well, he even dropped a blue covered book on the ground upon his death.

"Get that book! Quickly! Get it back for me!" Snowbark screamed like a little b*tch in his party chat. It sounded like he was terrified.

Huh?

Zhang Yang widened his eyes as he saw that those underlings of Snowbarks charging towards the book. So he immediately activated his {Horizontal Sweep} and wiped them out like he was cleaning dust off the floor.

Meanwhile, Unkillable Cockroach and the others were staring at Zhang Yang like they had just met a god. Those players that they thought they could never defeat were all lying dead on the ground before them! They had remembered clearly how regretful those dead players looked like.

Could it be really him? After being with him all the while, was he not tricking them from the start? Could he be the real Zhan Yu?

Phew! If he really is, then they would have something to show off to their friends!

Zhang Yang picked up the book and took a closer look at it. He was surprised to have picked up such a unique piece of item! His face was filled with joy, immediately!

[Book of Revelation: Chapter 8] (Legendary, Unique)

Description: All party member within the range of 100 meters from the holder will receive an increment of 5% damage dealt. Similar effects will not stack. If the holder is killed, he or she can resurrect immediately on the spot and have 10% HP and MP. This effect can only be triggered once every 10 hours. Similar effects will not stack. If the holder is killed by other players while the resurrection is under a cooldown period, then this item will surely be dropped from the holder. The item can only be brought along by the player. Cannot be destroyed.

Use: Combine with the item [Book of Revelation: Chapter 7] and [Book of Revelation: Chapter 9] together.

However, it was really shocking to see that these goons were actually capable of getting a Legendary Item!

Furthermore, how would such an item be in the hands of Snowbark? Would Liu Wei really be that generous to let his subordinates keep hold of such a rare and valuable item? Snowbark was not a Tanker like Zhang Yang. Letting him hold on to such item would be disastrous and risky. It would be much safer if Liu Wei holds on to it himself. Well, he had over 12 Tankers on his 'Suicide Squad,' lining up to use their {Sacrifice} on him. Surely the chances of his survival would be much higher than Snowbark!

Then, this item must have been secretly kept by Snowbark himself. Liu Wei must have not known about this at all!

So, this explained why he was so afraid to die. He had immediately activated his Inheritance Transformation was because he was so worried that he might drop the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 8] if he ever dies. Unfortunate, he did die in the end. It gave not only pleasure to Zhang Yang but also a great 'gift'.

Well, Zhang Yang had really earned something really valuable, this time around!

Chapter 702: Identity

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

With Cheng Xue Yao's help, the Unkillable Cockroach trio was able to waltz out of the dungeon with their chests held out proudly. They had said it then, it would not matter for them to lose their experience points since it was only worth a day's work. In fact, they were only saying that to get to Cheng Xue Yao's good side.

On the other hand, SuikaToro was greatly dismayed. He was Level 99 and was about to reach Level 100. He was that close to entering the Chaos Realm! A further chapter of the game! Hence, he bit down his pride, thought over it thoroughly and realized that he did not have the urge to gamble. If he is able to win the lovely lady's heart with the bet, he would be all in for it. However, at that point, it was already too late for him. Eventually, SuikaTaro had decided to give up all up and used a [Teleportation Scroll] to leave the dungeon.

With the dead bodies on the floor, the trio walked over to Zhang Yang. With excitement and admiration, they asked, "Are you really Zhan Yu?"

"The one and only." Said Zhang Yang with a smile. After he claimed the [Book of Revelation, he was rather in a good mood!

The trio jumped with joy and cheer happily. They opened the in-game screenshot function and played it cool with Zhang Yang, as if he was part of their crew! They were so happy that they could take a picture with the strongest player in China and possibly the whole world! Imagine the glory they could fish out with the picture with the tagline saying: Lookie here! World's Strongest is our bro~!

Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly and turned to Cheng Xue Yao. "The dungeon has been raided, and you've got the good friends here. I'll be leaving then."

"No. You did nothing there! You have been making those potions for more than an hour!" Cheng Xue You puffed her cheeks out angrily. She knows that Leveling was important and Levels determined the strength of a character. She had realized that when she saw the Level 99 SuikaTaro slicing the monsters up like tomatoes! If he was that strong, how would Zhang Yang be when he is already Level 153?!

Even though she was indeed a beginner, she was still good a basic mathematics!

Zhang Yang laughed at her petty comments and bade her farewell, either way. He took out and equipped the [Lover's Charm] and teleported to Han Ying Xue.

The four girls were still clearing quests all over the place and were gathered together to fight a bunch of Spectres. Zhang Yang joined the party and helped clear a few monsters. In the meantime, Zhang Yang nudged Sun Xin Yu's slender waist and caught her attention. "Here. Have this. It's an extra life!"

Sun Xin Yu took the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 8] and kept it in her inventory. Zhang Yang had no problem handing over the book to Sun Xin Yu since she was a Thief class that would excel at keeping itself alive. Since Zhang Yang already possessed another book in his possession, the effects would not stack together. Might as well diversify the effect so that Sun Xin Yu could gain the extra damage buff when he is not around. The only person that Zhang Yang could not trust the book with was Wei Yan Er. The grumpy, reckless little girl was the worst candidate to have the book. When she gets into battle, she only cares about killing and not guarding herself. If she insists on having the book, Zhang Yang would rather have Han Ying Xue give her the [Resurrection Monolith] instead, since it possessed the same instant revival effect.

The party continued playing until it was nightfall in the real world. Cheng Xue Yao made Zhang Yang come to her for just a simple goodbye greeting before leaving the game. Zhang Yang and Cheng Xue Yao logged out and bade each other goodbye before she left the office. Zhang Yang could not read her like how he would read other females easily. The woman swayed her hips and catwalked out of the office with such a seductive aura around her. Her thin fabrics ironed themselves out on her butt, and Zhang Yang could make out the outline of her *ss perfectly. Uff…That shape was just too good to be true!

…

Later that night, Cheng Xue Yao held a cup of red wine and sat down in front of her computer. She had just come out from her bath and was dressed in a loose and comfortable nightgown. Her supple breasts were plastered beneath her thin clothes as her long, dark hair sways in her back. She flung out her hair to sent a few water droplets off her wet hair.

"Meow~" A white Persian cat come out of a corner and leaped onto its master's lap. The woman gently caressed the feline and continued using her computer. She typed something on the keyboard and the image of Zhang Yang appeared on her screen. She read each article slowly and finally sighed. "I see that you're that famous, huh. But..why would you hire private investigators to dig out the past? What does Liu Wei have to do with you? Are you two more than just game rivals?"

"Meow!" The white Persian cat brushed her head on Xue Yao's chin, inviting her to play. The feline creature reached out with its claws and tried to clamber up. However, with little effort, the cat had only managed to pull down her nightgown and her clothes fell down her shoulders, revealing her supple breasts and pink nipples to the poor mammal. Sadly, she was alone in her room, then. Such an erotic scene could only be enjoyed by the cat alone. Her breasts were on par with Han Ying Xue's herself!

"Whitey? Where did you learn to undress a woman? Haha! Did you learn that from a bastard?" Cheng Xue Yao gently caressed the cat's head and placed the feline on the floor. She could not even bothered to adjust her gown and let it slide off her silky smooth skin. Naked, she waltzed to the window of her room and stared down at the street beneath her. There was a smile on her face. A genuine smile.

"Mr. Zhang…Can I really trust you…?"

…

In a poorly lit room, somewhere at the corner of the city.

A beautiful woman was sitting in front of her computer talking with a rather good-looking man through the computer screen. The woman was tall and had a perfect complexion. Her body figure was good and slender. She even a tiny mole on the corner of her lips that only enhanced her seductive aura.

"…Why…How could you fail!?" said the young man on the screen. There was an intense dissatisfaction in his voice as he grunted as he kept his composure stoic and cool. His complexion did not give off the kind of impression that an angry person would portray.

The woman wiped away her cold sweat. She had been following the man for more than 2 years now, she had seen the man with a face that speaks of peace and harmony, yet she knew that he was capable of making people disappear. Permanently.

She quickly explained her situation. "During the interview session, there was another woman there…She was chosen instead…"

"Oh. Is that so…" the man stoic expression changed. Although it was extremely subtle, the woman was able to pick up hints of him being intrigued. "How could you, a woman like yourself lose to any other?"

"I'm sorry." The woman apologized while bowing her head in front of the computer screen.

"Hmm. In that case, I would really love to have a look at the woman who defeated your beauty," said the young man. Perhaps it's was an unconscious move, but the man soon reverted back to his stoic expression after smiling slightly. "Find another angle of attack. I have only 6 months left to get what I want!"

"Understood, sir," The woman bowed down. The connection ended.

The woman raised her head only to realize that the man had finally hung up. Her breathing was hastened and ragged. She pulled the drawer under the desk and took out a picture of Zhang Yang coming out from a limousine. The women played with the piece of polyester plastic and grinned. "Sigh…You may be good looking, but who asked you to pick a fight with Young master Hua over a woman. Then again, perhaps you're in luck. At the very least. You could have me in your bed." She got off her seat and tossed the picture on the desk. She picked up her phone and fiddled with it for a moment before sighing heavily. "Why are the women in this country so oppressed! After this, I should go off to a place where no one knows me. Starting from scratch does not seem that bad…" The women lay on the bed and snuggled with her pillow.

…

Zhang Yang could not help but notice that something was extremely odd. It was a sixth sense of his. Right when he had just received a new bootylicious boom secretary the other day, a few days later, another one comes in. Out of the original six secretaries he had, one of them had left the job for marriage, and the other left the country. In just five short days, he had lost two "obedient" secretaries! Was it all just coincidence?

Zhang Yang praised the organization's efficiency at picking secretaries for him, as the new one was also a beauty to behold. Although she was not on the same level as Cheng Xue Yao, she was at the very least better than the old one. There was something special about her. For others, some might pay attention to a girl's hairstyle, the smile, or other specific feature that made her easy to remember. As for the new secretary, it was her mole on the corner of her lips. There was a certain seductive aura that was only emphasized when she smiled.

Zhang Yang could not put down the feeling on uneasiness about the latest girl. He decided to find someone to investigate her origins. It could be something bad. Perhaps, Liu Wei, or even the annoying Zhong Xiu Hua!

Zhang Yang got into the game and was greeted immediately by Cheng Xue Yao. In the office, she was well-mannered, and even behaved like a real secretary! However, in the game, she was different. She addressed Zhang Yang rather intimately, as if both of them were close friends, not that it bothered Zhang Yang at all.

The woman's leveling speed was rather fast. In just a few days, she had managed to push herself to Level 30 and forced Zhang Yang to teach her the ways of a Spellcaster. Hence, the two of them developed a rather close friendship. Not as close as his real friends, though.

The other secretaries in his office were all using nicknames. Zhang Yang knew that Xiao Yue, Xiao Fan, or Xiao Min were pseudonyms. The latest girl was named Liu Xin Min, and she was an exceptional vixen. Whenever she has the chance, she would bring Zhang Yang files, coffee, or anything at all just to lower her chest and let Zhang Yang enjoy the full view of her deep cleavage. It was an act that Zhang Yang did not dislike much.

…

Playing games are the same as drawing, singing, or dancing. It's a matter of inert talent, that not all humans have. To play such a high-leveled realism game such as 'God's Miracle,' one would need to have the highest of reaction speeds. It was something that could be trained but required a long time to do so. We are not talking about a year or so. It has to start since birth.

Cheng Xue Yao does possess such a talent, and Zhang Yang felt that with a little cultivation, she could become one of the top 10 Spellcasters of the world! Hence, at the moment, Zhang Yang placed Xue Yao in the secondary guild with Fatty Han.

Although he was greatly intrigued by the sudden recruit, he was unable to resist the lady's charm. With just a simple feminine greeting, Fatty Han had succumbed to anything she asked for. For the next few days, Fatty Han had brought Xue Yao across numerous dungeons. In truth, she needn't even ask, Fatty Han was just a wolf and would wag his tail obediently to do anything that she asks.

Zhang Yang had two chapters of the [Book of Revelation, naturally, he was fascinated by the entire book. He went asking around for the book and if he is to find someone with the book, he would have to apologize for it. To complete the Legendary tier item, he would willing to go all ends, including, killing the player for it.

However, he bore little to no expectation of finding the rest of the chapters in time. Zhang Yang and Snowbark both had the chapters in hand, and the system had not indicated any information about it. It was unlike Inheritance Fragments. Even though someone might have the chapters in their inventory right beside him, he would not know about it! Hence, it would be extremely tough to find the rest of the chapters for the [Book of Revelation].

Zhang Yang got back home from the office and had dinner with the girls in his mansion. Later that day, he logged back into the game and was immediately recruited by the four girls to their party. They had found a good training ground which required him to be the tank. The five of them went to town and had their equipment fixed, items resupplied, and set off for Souron's Castle to head towards their destination.

"Hey, dummy. I heard that you have a new friend," said Han Ying Xue with a smile on her face. Despite that, the tone of her voice carried a sharp intonation, as if her words could turn into blades that would slice off Zhang Yang's neck.

That little brat!

Zhang Yang glared at Wei Yan Er angrily. Yesterday, Fatty Han had to go off to help Xiao Wei buy some grocery. He then begged Zhang Yang to babysit Cheng Xue Yao. Thus, he agreed and brought the girl to Poison Fireland dungeon. Unfortunately, the little girl found out about it and decided to pay them a visit. She had come all the way from Chaos Realm and found Zhang Yang and Cheng Xue Yao walking into the dungeon. Zhang Yang caught the little brat and persuaded her to keep her mouth shut about it by bribing her with a brand new LV bag. Sadly, even that branded handbag was not enough for the little girl to keep her mouth shut.

Wait a minute…Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue both knew about it, and there was nothing that he could do about it. However, why was Daffodil Daydream being conscience about it…

The little brat… When Zhang Yang glared at her, she turned her head quickly to avert his gaze and whistled nonchalantly as if she had done nothing.

Chapter 703: Mythical Dragon Realm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"What are you talking about? A new friend?" Zhang Yang shook his head vigorously. "Ahh. I know what you mean. It's a new recruit with potential! Fatty Han said that he had something to do. I simply brought the new recruit for a dungeon raid the other day. Is that what you mean by new friend?"

"Noob tank, I have you know that our policy of truth is as simple as lowering your head humbly. Deny your claim, and we will forcefully dig it out." Wei Yan Er poked Zhang Yang.

"Those who lower their heads humbly, can even escape the wrath of a God. Those who deny their claims, could even go back home safely. So, little brat, what are you planning to claim from me? I have always been a straightforward man." Zhang Yang was nearly cornered by Wei Yan Er.

"I heard that new friend of yours is a super beauty. Is that correct?" said Han Ying Xue, again with the smile of hers.

"Yeah…well…She might be. But compared to you and the Ice Queen, she's miles away. I don't think that anyone could be a match for the both of you." Zhang Yang tried to divert the heat away to cool down the raging beast.

Even though they knew that Zhang Yang was just trying to get away by saying sweet things, but words of praise coming from the one they love, was still something worth being happy about. Their stoic expression somewhat softened a little. Wei Yan Er, on the other hand, shrugged and sang a song, "Liar liar pants on fire, teabagging in the face of hell,~~"

"Little brat!" Zhang Yang snarled. "It's all because of you and your big mouth!" Zhang Yang clenched his fist. The little rascal was such a tough nut to crack that they had been receiving calls from the university, concerning Wei Yan Er's notorious activities. She was once caught setting fire in the campus' football field, and even punctured a lecturer's car!

"Where are you taking me to? A gigolo shop?" said Zhang Yang as he realized that they had spent some time traveling.

"With that face of yours? I don't think anyone would want to have that."

"Hoho. You might be thinking too little of me. I certainly recall that a certain princess from a certain country has a certain interest to a certain someone here. Hm?"

"Please. Don't flatter yourself." Han Ying Xue waved him off and said, "We are going to a place called the Mythical Dragon Realm.

"What is that?" Zhang Yang heard of the name before, but could not remember from where.

"What? Even the official website released the advertisement for some time now! What are you doing on your computer all day? Surfing a certain web page for lonely dudes at night?"

"Hmm…I see that the foxy vixen has spent some time with you now, hasn't she?" said Han Ying Xue. By vixen, she meant Cheng Xue Yao.

"Come on! There's only a certain level of jealousy a woman can have!" Zhang Yang snarled back.

"The Mythical Dragon Realm is a map that spawns randomly. It's a little like a dungeon but there's no fixed spawn point. Furthermore, the monsters inside the Mythical Dragon Realm will not spawn again after being killed. Once all the bosses on the map are killed, the map will despawn." Daffodil Daydream explained it to Zhang Yang, based on the information she obtained.

After her explanation, Zhang Yang listened and remembered something similar that he had encountered in his past life. One thing was for sure, that the spawn point was never the same. Back then, the spawn points he encountered were beneath a willow tree. Other times, they were at the bottom of the ocean! Searching for the entrance of the map is like searching hay in a stack of needles! Although difficult to find, the map does provide a lot of benefits. Sadly, even though he found the entrance, he did not have the chance to enter the map himself.

"We found the entrance to the Mythical Dragon Realm yesterday. It's called something-something Spectre Kingdom. The monsters inside were so strong that we cannot continue on without a tank!" said Han Ying Xue.

"Fufu. Looks like I'm useful, after all!" said Zhang Yang nonchalantly as he gave a sweet glare to Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue. However, the two ladies rolled their eyes at him, leaving Zhang Yang a little letdown.

The team had spent over two hours traveling across Mar Gaia Forest and finally reached the destination. The entrance was a glowing portal that was hidden between two large boulders. Despite its glowing appearance, the entrance was so well hidden that it was hard to see.

Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow. He turned to Han Ying Xue and stared at her suspiciously. This sort of place could not be found that easily…Perhaps, Han Ying Xue had gotten lost and stumble upon the entrance by sheer luck... As expected of the broken compass…

"Why don't you bring in Fatty Han or Lost Dream?" said Zhang Yang.

Wei Yan Er gesticulated 'no' with her hands and said, "There's an entry limit. Only five could enter at a time."

"Huh. No wonder you picked me."

The Mythical Dragon Realms had four different modes. Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. 5 players would trigger the Small map, 25 players for the Medium map, 500 players for the Large map, and 10,000 players for the Extra-Large. As the map grows bigger, so does the number of monsters and bosses inside. Naturally, the difficulty would be harder as well.

Wei Yan Er walked towards the entrance. However, when half of her body entered the portal, she was thrown outward.

"Eh? Could it be…? There's someone inside!" said Wei Yan Er.

"Hehehe. This place is way off the city. How could someone find this place? Looks like b*tchy snow is not the only one who's a broken compass!"

"Please. I'm…I'm just bad with directions! That's all!" Han Ying Xue defended herself. She does not like it when someone points out her one weakness.

"Which bastards dared to take our map!" cried Wei Yan Er, on the verge of crying. She tried again and again to enter the portal but was kicked out each time.

"GRAH! We shouldn't have left the map, then this wouldn't happen!"

"It's not like we wanted to. Our equipment were in need of repairing."

The four ladies sighed. If the map was occupied when they had discovered it, it would not matter. They felt a little disgruntled since they were the first to enter the map, and had even killed a few of the monsters inside! How would they expect someone else to enter the map after just one night! The place was in the middle of nowhere!

"There is a chance we can enter. I think, if someone is killed inside the map, they would have to leave the map in order to revive. If they have no healers in their party, that is. Well, I'm going to sit down here for a while. If you guys insist on going in, let's wait here then. When one of them gets out, we can go in and kick them out!" said Zhang Yang.

Open-world events were meant to be fought over for. You may be the first to discover them, but it does not mean that they would belong to you. How else would guilds wage wars against each other for random bosses or Territories!?

"Of course we will wait! The Map belongs to us! I will not let anyone else take it away from me!" said Wei Yan Er proudly.

"Well then. I shall lie down here and wait." Zhang Yang found himself a nice flat rock and lay down flat. He then gestured to Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue and said, "Come, my fair ladies. Lay with me and talk about us!"

As Zhang Yang finished his sentence, he spotted a player that was riding on a mount that looked like a giant bug flying towards him. When he was closer, Zhang Yang could see the man's surprised reaction on his face when he spotted the party.

Zhang Yang smiled and rose back to his feet. "Looks like someone did die inside. That means, one of us may go in and kick four players' sorry butts. Who wants to do the honor?"

"ME! ME! OH! ME!" Wei Yan Er screamed with joy. She did not wait for Zhang Yang to give her the green light and leaped into the portal. As predicted, the player that had just arrived was a player that had died inside the map and was forced to revive outside the map.

"You…" The player was called "Eastern Lee". He was a Sacred Knight and perhaps was the only player in the party that could revive and heal. That was the reason why he had to get out and return to the map.

"Move aside! And, call out that girl who just went in! Don't make us kill you!" said Eastern Lee bravely. Even though he was facing four opponents, he stood tall and stoic will no signs of faltering. He then pointed his name tag and said, "Look here. I'm a member of the guild Eternal Flame! I'm not someone you can easily cross with!"

The only reason that Eastern Lee could be so boastful was due to Zhang Yang and the rest of the party had hidden their profile information. Even if Eastern Lee had one hundred players behind him, the man's ball will shrink back into his pelvis when he knows that he was threatening the strongest players in the world!

"Would Yan Er be okay inside?" said Han Ying Xue worriedly. Eastern Lee was Level 146 and was supposedly part of the main raiding party of the guild. If that is the case, the other four party members inside would be the same level as him. There was a chance that Scholar Musou and Longrich, the two strongest players of Eternal Flame would be inside the map! Both of them had A class Inheritances and would be on par with Wei Yan Er. It would be a rather dangerous situation for the little girl.

Zhang Yang proceeded to speak in the party channel, "Little brat! Come out now. I'll go in to wipe them all for you!"

"WHYYYY! Are you looking down at this little lady!?" said Wei Yan Er protesting his command. However, as hot-headed as she was, the little girl was not stupid. She knows that when Zhang Yang says something in this manner, it was for her own good. She then obeyed and came out of the portal, no sooner later.

They were having their conversation in the party channel, hence Eastern Lee could not hear their voice. From his perspective, he thought that Zhang Yang was calling out his party member inside out of fear. The man smiled smugly and scoffed. He then moved towards the entrance of the door blatantly and sighed. He saw Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu and was captivated by their beauty. If the Mythical Dragon Realm was not at stake there, he could have recruited them into the party and bragged of his position in the guild. Perhaps, with a few Mythical tier equipment and some gold, he felt confident that he could entice the two ladies over to his side.

"Excuses me. Since when did we allow you walk inside?" Zhang Yang roared and attacked the man. Zhang Yang sheer force had knocked Eastern Lee back a few steps and took more than 100,000 damage. The attack alone had drained away more than 50% of his HP.

Wei Yan Er popped out of the portal and jumped at the player.

"Hmph. Prudent." Sun Xin Yu dashed with lightning speed and stabbed Eastern Lee behind his back. Her two swords danced around and dealt three instances of damage.

Eastern Lee falls immediately to the ground dead. With three ultra-strong DPS concentrated their attacks on a single player, no player could survive unless they are in their Transformation state. Still, if he at least knew the identity of his killers, he would be less confused and bewildered!

As such, Eastern Lee was enraged. He passed the information of what that had just happened outside the portal to the players inside. He had asked them to prepare for an assault. If they cannot deal with the players standing guard outside the portal, there was no way for him to go in the map to support them.

Fortunately, the players inside had not ventured deep. With haste, the four players inside rushed to the exit. However, at that moment, they did not think of a proper plan. What if it was just a strategy to lure them out? If the four of them exits the map, the enemy could go in easily! Since the map only allowed 5 players at a time, they cannot do anything until Zhang Yang clears the map or dies halfway through! It was a gamble that they could not afford to bet!

As they were hesitating, Zhang Yang entered the map and found himself surrounded by four players.

Scholar Musou, Sniper, Level 148!

Longrich, Cryomancer, Level 149!

Zhang Yang locked his targets on the two generals of Eternal Flame.

Chapter 704: The Four Man Team

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The enemies were all mounted on their mounts, however, mounts were prohibited from flying in the map, hence, the players were not airborne, but merely riding their mounts like a horse. Besides Scholar Musou and Longrich, the other player present was Ink Wave, a Level 146 Guardian and Wind Chime, a Level 145 Bandit. Obviously, all of them were of the guild Eternal Flame.

"Hey! Don't you know who we are?" said Wind Chime as he brandished his swords out, grinning with smugness on his face as he threatened Zhang Yang.

"Before you get your sad face off this map, pay us 100,000 gold coins as a compensation for wasting our time. Mind you, don't even try thinking of running away. Pay up or I will find you and kill you every single day. The only way you'll reach Level 150 is in your dreams!"

"Stupid. That's just being too nice to them." Ink Wave snorted.

Wind Chime laughed, "It's fine. Rather than wasting more time debating here. I'd rather kill him right now. We still have a boss to kill. I've read about it, there will be a strong boss in every Mythical Dragon Realm! Hehe. We might even get ourselves some nice Holy tier equipment!"

Longrich did not participate in the mocking spree. Instead, the man rode his mount closer to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang stood still motionless. When Longrich got close enough, he widened his eyes and said, "You're…Zhan Yu!"

"What..?"

Everyone stopped talking and paid attention to Longrich. Was that really Zhan Yu? The man who's the top in the game!?

Zhang Yang laughed hysterically and said, "Well…I guess I can't help it when I'm just handsome!"

Zhang Yang then summoned the Phoenix and Felice out to the open.

When the fiery bird emerged out, everyone's doubts were immediately cleared. It was his trademark. As for Fatty Han, no one would even cared.

There's no doubt about it then, a man with a shield, a fiery bird, a young female Battle Companion, the one and only legendary Guardian, Zhan Yu!

Wind Chime sucked in a deep breath. It was at that moment when he knew he f*cked up big time. If he knew earlier that the man was Zhan Yu of Lone Desert Smoke, he would rather quit Eternal Flame and not offend the strongest player in the entire world! The traumatizing event that had happened three to four days ago, the period when Lone Desert Smoke was still hunting every member of Eternal Flame flashed through his mind. He does not want to be the reason Lone Desert Smoke resumes the hunt!

Longrich remained cool as a cucumber and said, "Zhan Yu. You're strong. I have to admit that I can never defeat you in a fair fight. Yet, I'm sure that you cannot defeat the four of us at the same time. I'll have you understand that both Lone Desert Smoke and Eternal Flame are guilds that make China stand strong. Our petty quarrel will bring nothing but defamation and discord between each other. Now, let's talk about fair play. We were the ones who found this place before you did. By all means, make yourself presentable and allow us to continue, while guild master Zhan Yu retreats."

Zhang Yang was impressed by his logic. However, he could not allow them to proceed, for it will only force him to get out of the realm!

Zhang Yang laughed when he noticed Longrich said something about him losing a 4v1 match. He was even impressed that a person of great combat skill could also have great negotiation technique.

"Yes. You are correct. However, you have made a mistake there. It's not just me alone here. It's three versus four! Even so, I can easily take care of all of you easily."

Longrich knew that. Zhang Yang was right there. Felice and the Phoenix pet both had Transformation skills. Their transformation skills was so strong that it made them as strong as a B class Inheritance players after Transforming, and with super strong equipment at that! They were the perfect killing machines! Longrich froze in place when Zhang Yang called his bluff. Longrich wanted to talk their way out instead of fighting. The fact that he knew Zhang Yang's pet and battle companion could Transform was not that big an issue. The main issue there and then was that the four of them might lose to Zhang Yang!

Out of the four of them, there were two A class Inheritances, one B class, and one C class. The most important issue was that they had no healer on the field. If Zhang Yang targets Wind Chime, the weakest of the four, the enemy might come in to reinforce Zhang Yang. If it happens to be a healer, Longrich and the rest would be killed without a doubt.

That was the reason why Longrich wanted to talk instead of letting his fists do the talking.

Scared as if he was being pushed to a corner, Wind Chime roared.

"You think I'm scared? We too have Battle Companions and battle mounts!" Perhaps it was the feeling of helplessness, or the fight or flight nature of humans, Wind Chime presented himself to be intimidating when compared to the rest, who were still hesitating to make the first move. Wind Chime drew his swords out and got ready to fight.

Zhang Yang smirked. He knew that man had no choice but to fight. So what, if they had battle companions and battle mount? Can they Transform like Felice and Phoenix could?

The enemies began to mutter amongst themselves. It does not seem like they were debating, but were planning on how to tackle Zhang Yang. In the midst of discussing, Scholar Musou chuckled a little and turned to Zhang Yang, "Guild master Zhan Yu, are you determined to fight and be our enemy?"

"Without a doubt!"

Zhang Yang puffed and made the first move. Before the enemies could form a formation, Zhang Yang rode in with Phoenix and targeted Longrich first. A player's magic resistant is at its weakest before he could transform. However, since S class Inheritance Transformation could provide 40% magic nullification chance, magic attacks would be a lesser threat compared to physical attacks.

The reason he had chosen to attack Longrich first was due to the abnormal glare of the man. It felt like a viper hiding somewhere he could no see, waiting to strike at a given time.

The Phoenix bird swiftly glided through the ground and arrived beside Longrich in a split second. Without wasting time, Zhang Yang gracefully sliced across Longrich's side and dealt 118,932 damage. Zhang Yang damage had instantly hacked away 1/3 of the enemy's HP.

With that single attack, Zhang Yang's Rage bar was filled instantly. Zhang Yang locked on and landed a {God of War Devastation}.

{Apparate}!

Longrich's reaction was as quick as Zhang Yang himself. Before the attack could land on his character, Longrich blinked away like a flash of lightning, leaving Zhang Yang to cleave nothing but the air where he once stood.

Zhang Yang could not help but praise the man for his lightning fast reflexes. However, Zhang Yang's reaction speed was much faster than he. After all, he was the number one player in the whole world. He activated various of skills and made himself appear right in front of Longrich, no matter how hard he tried to escape Zhang Yang's death grasp. Felice and Phoenix moved in to attack.

Wham! Bam!

Two tongues of flamethrowers were spat out, landing directly on Longrich's character and engulfing the man in a sea of flames. However, two words popped out.

Immune! Immune!

Longrich had activated {Ice Barrier}. Both of them might seem to have done a lot so far, but in reality, everything had only happened in less than 2 seconds! Just then, Scholar Musou and the other two side characters arrived within Zhang Yang's area of attack.

Zhang Yang smirked, it saved him time anyway. Zhang Yang immediately changed his target to Wind Chime. Both Zhang Yang and Wind Chime were melee classes, hence, for Wind Chime to attack him, he must expose himself to the danger of being attacked himself.

The attacks that landed on Zhang Yang first was of Scholar Musou's arrow. He landed three attacks, with each supposed to deal 80,000 basic attack. However, Zhang Yang had only taken less than 40,000 damage. Zhang Yang was not as surprised as Scholaar Musou. He was so shocked at Zhang Yang's strong defene. Just how tough could the Guardian be!?

Just then, Wind Chime and Ink Wave arrived and landed their attacks on Zhang Yang. Both Ink Wave and Wind Chime did not use {Charge} nor {Vanish,} since the skill will force the player to dismount. Just the mount alone could provide a huge boost of over 100,000 HP! Neither of them were willing to let that go to waste. Unlike Zhang Yang who had the skill {Beast Taming}, the enemies could not dismount and still have their pets active in the field. Once they dismount, the pet will disappear from the field in 2 seconds.

Zhang Yang welcomed the enemies with a quick {Horizontal Sweep}, dealing powerful 200,000 damage. The Phoenix spewed out a long trail of fire that dealt close to 80,000 fire damage to the opponent.

The combined attack had nearly killed the two of them. Panicked, Longrich quickly roared.

"Use our Inheritance Transformation skills now. Don't wait for the boss! If we can't even kill Zhan Yu now, we would not even have the chance to see the boss' shadow!"

Longrich disabled his {Ice Barrier} and quickly put on a [Bandage] to heal himself. However, he did not activate his Transformation skill immediately just yet. Although Transforming provided a massive boost to one's HP limit, it will not restore a player's HP. If the player had 50% before Transforming, he would have the same 50% HP after Transforming. By numbers, it will be a huge waste if they do not restore their HP back to 100% before Transforming.

Longrich was attacked by Zhang Yang earlier, if he uses his Inheritance Transformation right now, he would have only have 1,500,000 HP, which was far from his maximum HP of 9,000,000 HP!

Right then, if he could only restore 10,000 HP, he could gain over 300,000 HP after Transforming!

Zhang Yang saw Longrich's reaction and what he was about to do. Without hesitation, he activated the Phoenix Transformation skill and turned towards Longrich to attack. He would not allow Longrich to restore any HP. Zhang Yang had only managed to disrupt one out of the four enemies there. If all four of them were to activate their Inheritance Transformations, he would have to do the same if he wants to stay alive.

Zhang Yang shot towards Longrich at intense speed. Pushed to his limits, Longrich did not care about restoring his HP anymore and activated his Transformation skill immediately. His Inheritance was the Death Swamp Inheritance. His Transformation had turned his entire character into a humanoid shaped pile of dark, gooey, viscous liquid. The same liquid flowed from his character to 40 meters around him, creating a swamp-like environment. Since the Phoenix was not flying, its movement speed was affected greatly when it tried to move in the thick liquid.

It was Longrich's Inheritance special effect, to reduce all target's movement speed by 50%! A damage-less {Thunder Strike}! The thing that made it strong was the slow effect did not have a fixed duration, but was a permanent aura effect!

Longrich took aim and shot a Frost arrow at Zhang Yang right after he became a swamp man. His Inheritance had granted him 400% damage boost! Zhang Yang had taken close to 160,000 damage from the Frost arrow.

The Phoenix pet had originally 700,000 HP at most. After Transforming, its HP would reach as high as 14,000,000 million. Combined with Zhang Yang's own close to 1 million HP, both Zhang Yang and the Phoenix's shared HP bar was as high as 15 million. Even though his own HP was not full when he activated the Phoenix's Transformation skill, it was still as high as 13 million HP!

Wind Chime and Ink Wave had consumed a bottle of potion and activated their Transformation skills. One grew twin horns from the forehead and gain a tail and an ox's lower half. Wind Chime had turned into a minotaur. On the other hand, Ink Wave had turned into a human shaped pile of mud.

C class Inheritance, Minotaur Inheritance and the B class Inheritance, the Mud Cloud Inheritance.

However, even though they may have taken a bottle of healing potion earlier, they had suffered a great deal of damage from earlier attacks and had only managed recover 50% HP, despite activating their Inheritance Transformation. Each Inheritance Transformation will grant the player a healing skill. Right then, it will only a matter of time for them to use it to save themselves.

Scholar Musou was the only player around that has a full health at then. He hesitated a little but activated his own Transformation skill, after the others did. His Inheritance was the A class Lord of Flame Inheritance, granting him the appearance of a burning stone golem.

Zhang Yang consumed a bottle of [Mobility Potion] and regained his original movement speed. The effect of the potion was shared with the Phoenix, since Zhang Yang was currently mounted on the Phoenix. Hence, with his original speed restored, Zhang Yang zoomed in and reached Longrich's face.

Shush!

He swung his sword, but it dealt no damage to Longrich as the swords cleaved the air beside him.

Longrich's face lost all its blood, turning him pale white. He knew the skill. He had seen it once before with his own eyes. It was a skill that would allow Zhang Yang to deal a super-charged up attack after missing a target at the first strike!

Panicked, Longrich calmed himself down and activated his accessory's Invincibility effect.

As the game number one player, Zhang Yang's entire character was often analyzed from top to bottom. Everyone knew about him and his skills, as if he was a major world-level boss. Hence, almost all professional players knew about Zhang Yang's {Charge Up Strike} and the devastating power that it held!

Longrich's reaction to activate his Invincibility skill was indeed a wise move.

Chapter 705: Dominance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There is a saying in olden China warfare, that one should not use dirty tricks to win a war. But that was in the olden days, and the future is now!

Zhang Yang smirked evilly and turned around to attack Wind Chime.

Shush!

Another sword miss!

Huh? Aik?

It was not just Wind Chime. He was about to lose his mind when Zhang Yang changed his target abruptly. In fact, Ink Wave, Longrich, and Scholar Musou was stunned, What was happening? Could {Charge Up Strike} be used without a cooldown? Could the effect of {Charge Up Strike} be stacked? Or was it something else…?

Longrich widened his eyes as he realized the truth, they had been duped. It was not a skill, but a simple basic attack that was meant to miss! When Longrich realized that, it was too late for him. He had wasted a precious skill!

Right then, Zhang Yang was already in Wind Chime's face. For him, it was an incredibly difficult decision on whether to use his long cooldown skill to protect himself. It would be a trick again! He only had a C class Inheritance then, he would only have 700,000 HP after Transforming. If Zhang Yang's attack is the real deal, Wind Chime would be killed if he does not use his protective skill! But what if, Zhang Yang was faking it?

Safety first. Might as well use it since there were four of them there. As long as none of them die in battle, they could slowly grind away Zhang Yang's HP!

After debating with himself for a second, Wind Chime activated {Blur}. Wind Chime's {Blur} was at Level 10, granting him the ability to dodge an attack at a 95% rate. If he were to still take an attack instance during the skill active duration, it would be black luck for him to step out of the house.

RAWR!

The Phoenix closed in and spew a long trail of fire at Wind Chime's direction. As the flame engulfed the enemy, the word "Missed!" popped out. It was as expected. Even though the Phoenix was dealing Fire damage, its attack was still a physical attack, hence, it would be affected by {Blur}. However, Felice was still in her Dragonhawk form, her attacks would be of a true Spellcaster. With a quick blast of flame, her attacks had landed on Wind Chime's character and dealt 80,323 Fire damage. Sadly, even though the attack had landed, Felice was not in her Transformation state; the damage she could deal was only but an ant's bite.

Still, Wind Chime's HP was left with only over 700,000 HP. If Felice attacks continuously, she could kill Win Chime in less than 10 hits! Wind Chime's HP recovery skill would require EP. The more EP he holds, the better he could heal when he activates the skill. At that moment, due to the skill - {Blur's} activation, Wind Chime had gained a momentary short duration where he could put the matter of life and death aside whilst he attacks Zhang Yang.

Ink Wave and Wind Chime had moved in at the same time. To make sure that they would not take the attack from the Phoenix together, Ink Wave had moved towards Zhang Yang's left side and was slower than Wind Chime, and arrived by half a second later. He was a Guardian, hence, his attack was naturally low. Vy activating his Transformation skill, he had gained a massive 300% boost in attack power, his DPS was still as weak as a C class Inheritance player.

However, as a tank, his duty lay at protecting instead of attacking. He was supposed to be taking hits instead of his party members. When both Ink Wave and Wind Chime were attacked earlier, he was a little unnerved and was unable to perform as well. Right then, he could and was ready to unleash an array of protective skills.

Since Zhang Yang was able to move freely due to the [Mobility Potion, Ink Wave did not waste any of his EP to restrain him. Instead, he chased after him and attacked with him normal attacks to built up more EP and Rage.

Zhang Yang had forced his opponents to waste one accessory skill and one Thief powerful skill in exchange for a bluff! Even so, he was unable to attack anyone at the moment. Right then, Ink Wave was still attacking Zhang Yang, hence, instead of chasing anyone else, he turned around to attack Ink Wave instead.

Shush! BANG!

Zhang Yang's sword was parried away by Ink Wave's shield, even though Zhang Yang's movement was fast. Still, Zhang Yang Strength attribute point was so much higher than his simple sword attack had sent him staggering back. As a result, Ink Wave was unable to use {Shield Bash,} for he had been pushed out of its range.

Zhang Yang smirked. Unlike the typical Japanese anime, attacking does not require one to shout out their own skill names. Even though Zhang Yang had only used a normal attack, the opponent does not know that. He had made the opponent waste a {Block}! However, it would be a waste if Zhang Yang remains passive, since {Block} had only over 6 seconds of cooldown.

Phoenix had only 2 seconds of attack interval rate. It then flapped its massive fiery wings and spewed out a long trail of fire and dealt 168,933 damage to Ink Wave. Compared to Ink Wave's long 8,000,000 maximum HP, the Phoenix's attack was not at all strong. Even though he was left with only 5,000,000 HP, it was a tall mountain to bring down.

There were four of them, excluding their battle companions and battle mounts, for they were too weak to even considered to be an adversary. Their attacks were too weak and their grades were too low. Dealing damage to Zhang Yang was a problem. It all came down to the players themselves. Both Scholar Musou and Longrich were A class Inheritance players with basic attacks reaching as high as 200,000 damage. Ink Wave and Wind Chime were weaker by a certain degree but their basic attacks could still deal more than 120,000 damage. One wave of attack could deal roughly 500,000 damage to Zhang Yang, which was extremely problematic for him.

After calculating all the possibilities, Zhang Yang had determined his next target. He had decided to first terminate Ink Wave before anyone else. Ink Wave may be a tank class player with superior defensive and weak offense, and he would be extremely hard to kill. However, it was a necessary effort that he must put out. A Guardian is meant to protect the teammates and could dish out a large number of skills to control the opponent. Zhang Yang would know that best, because he was a Guardian! For two lifetimes!

{Charge Up Strike}!

Zhang Yang's attack hit the air and Ink Wave knows that Zhang Yang was aiming him. He felt confident of his HP and could take the hit. Who knows, Zhang Yang might even fake it again!

{God of War Heavy Axe}!

'-877,173!'

Ink Wave was obviously wrong about Zhang Yang's massive power output. However, he was lucky that he had over 5,000,000 HP to begin with. He would still have 4,000,000 HP left if Zhang Yang were to attack with the Phoenix earlier. He was not going down just yet!

Ink Wave could not be more than happy when Zhang Yang had chosen him to be a target instead of the others. Zhang Yang might have a better set of equipment, an array of skills, yet he had chosen to fight the tank! Could he be as dumb as a boss?!

What a hoot! An undeserved reputation!

Ink Wave activated {Shield Wall} and kited Zhang Yang, Felice, and the Phoenix away from his teammates. By the time {Shield Wall} ends, he would have already accumulated enough EP to use his HP recovery skill. He could activate {Last Vigor} to increase 30% HP and restore almost close to 3,000,000 HP!

As time passed on, Ink Wave was brought to believe that Zhang Yang could be defeated by the four of them!

However…

{Glare of the Death God}!

Zhang Yang had finally unleashed his ultimate skill and cast a cloud of shadowy cloud over Ink Wave's character.

Zhang Yang rarely uses this skill in public. He had never used it once in the Individual Ranking Competition either. Hence, even when the shadowy cloud formed a grinning skull, Ink Wave had not taken it seriously then, for he had thought that {Shield Wall} was strong enough to hold the attack at bay.

"KILL!" Zhang Yang roared.

With Zhang Yang taking the lead, the Phoenix and Felice zoomed in to attack as fast and as frequently as they could. {Glare of the Death God} works differently when used on bosses, compared to players and monsters. Unlike boss fights, the trigger rate will only deal 1% of the total HP of the boss. While used on players, the skill will directly drain away 99.99% of the HP, leaving the player with only 1HP left.

As such, the poor Guardian was so unlucky, that after just four attack counts, the skull grinned and bit down on his character, leaving him with only 1 HP.

Felice's fiery attacks landed and could only deal over 4,000 damage to Ink Wave, for the {Shield Wall} was still active. Still, even though her attack was reduced from 80,000 to 4,000, it was more than enough to end ink Wave's life!

Ink Wave died without using his HP recovery skill!

All three remaining players were baffled. What just happened? Ink Wave still had over 4 million HP and he had {Shield Wall} protecting him! How could he be instantly killed with just a fire attack?

At then, Zhang Yang's [Mobility Potion] ended and the glowing effect beneath his feet faded.

In just 10 seconds, Zhang Yang had already killed a player, and a tank at that too! How would normal people react to that!?

Zhang Yang turned to the rest of the Eternal Flame member and smiled innocently. "It's 3v3 now!"

Scholar Musou and the rest were left bewildered. What a powerful and bold statement! They had 4 of them in the beginning, and was reduced to 3 in just 10 seconds!

"It's fine! 3 of us will be enough!" They could lose the fight, but not lose any more members. Three of them roared and charged altogether at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang dismounted and activated his {Shadow Clone} skill. Instantly, the field had 7 Zhang Yangs laughing maniacally.

Which one was the real Zhang Yang?!

The opponent was left dumbfounded again. It would be impossible to find out the real one with just AoE skills. Zhang Yang had over 950,000 HP and would have only around 800,000 HP at that moment. It was not a number that could be killed with a few hits!

If they were to fight one by one, all of them would totalled up their HP to a staggering 5,000,000 HP! Furthermore, even if he is left with 1 HP, he could easily mount on the Pheonix again and gain a huge HP boost! The main problem was Zhang Yang's impregnable defense! To actually deal 1,000,000 damage on him, would mean dealing 2,000,000 damage to other normal players!

How do they solve the problem with the clones?

After a split second, Scholar Musou roared. "Retreat!"

He knew that the clones had a time limit. In the most recent Territorial war for Souron's Castle, he saw the recordings of Zhang Yang's fight. Professional analysis had deconstructed Zhang Yang's technique and skills in order to search his strengths and weaknesses, providing vital information for others to use against him.

The one method they had found to be useful to counter the shadow clone was to create enough distance amongst themselves. Drag the time long enough and the clones will disappear after two minutes.

It was a good call. Out of the two hour Inheritance Transformation duration, two minutes of running around was nothing but a walk in the park.

All three of them started to split up and run in different directions. Both Scholar Musou and Longrich had flight capabilities. Since they were not allowed to fly in the map, gliding in the air for a few seconds was still allowed.

After running for a bit, they had realized that Zhang Yang had not even activated his Transformation skill! What a disgrace! Two A class Inheritance players, and a C class Inheritance player have been sent off running by a normal player!

It was dominance! The level of power where one could inflict fear in another's soul!

Zhang Yang kept his cool and proceeded to chase after the three of them. However, instead of overextending himself, he "glided" towards the closest one, which was Wind Chime. The player had used {Blur} not too long ago and if he is allowed to run away, he could easily regain {Blur} after 5 minutes. It would be a waste to let that happen, since it would be harder to trick him into using the skill again.

"Crap!" Wind Chime cried, and quickly jumped off his mount and used {Vanish}!

Chapter 706: Victory

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang turned his head immediately to an empty patch of land and commanded the Phoenix to attack that area. As the trail of fire blasted the area, Wind Chime was forced out of the shadows.

That was an intense shocking revelation for Wind Chime.

"How could you detect me!?" said Wind Chime as he panicked. "I was using {Sprint}!"

"Haha! I knew that you were going to use {Sprint,} and that's exactly why I could predict your location. If you hadn't, I would probably have lost you!" All seven Zhang Yangs laughed and used {Charge} at Wind Chime, stunning him all at the same time.

Aggravated. Wind Chime could do nothing but to accept the fact that Zhang Yang was strong. He had already activated {Sprint} at the instant he entered Stealth. It was a complex command that only a proficient Thief player could execute. Little did he know that Zhang Yang had anticipated his move and predicted where he would be!

Putting aside that he was caught red-handed, Wind Chime had other serious problems to worry about. Zhang Yang's attacks were like the claws of a bear. His sword sliced and diced, hacking away Wind Chime's HP bar to the bottom!

Scholar Musou bit his lips and turned to Longrich. "Should we go back?"

"…Go back? Which out of the seven Zhan Yus would you want to take?" Longrich almost laughed cynically.

"…D*mn!" Scholar Musou fell silent.

After Transforming, each of them had strong AoE skills. However, the cost of activating the skill will usually be 3 EP. The entire battle had only taken less than 20 seconds. In just that short amount of time, they had only gained 1 EP each. What could they do with it?

What a confounding situation. If they had 100 EP, they could at least do some serious damage to all Zhang Yang, including the original one. One of them could deal close to 80,000 damage. If all three of them ganged up together, they could easily destroy all Zhang Yangs and even force the original Zhang Yang to get back on his Phoenix.

As they spoke, everyone in the party could see the chat. Wind Chime had concluded that the other two had no intention to come back for him anymore. Hence, with all that was left with him, he had steeled himself to gain at least 3 EP to activate his recovery skill and deal a little more damage to Zhang Yang before he is killed.

He had no clue as to which one was the real Zhang Yang, hence, he shifted his target to the Phoenix, since he knew that Zhang Yang will eventually get on it. Might as well reduce the Phoenix's HP to reduce Zhang Yang's odds.

It was actually an obvious and straightforward strategy. Out of the hundreds of millions of players worldwide, perhaps, Zhang Yang was the only weird mutant that was a Warrior and could have a pet, like a Hunter. Furthermore, the pet he owned was a Phoenix! A Legendary Beast that had the ability to Transform like an Inheritance player! Hence, in normal circumstances, no one in their right mind would target an adversary's battle mount. It was a common mistake, since normally, battle mount would disappear after a normal Warrior dismounts. In fact, a Hunter's pet would be too weak to deal any threatening damage, hence, under normal circumstances, no one would kill the pet.

Both Scholar Musou and Longrich saw what Wind Chime was doing and had an epiphany. Both were a little mad and ashamed of themselves. It was inevitable. Again, Zhang Yang was the only oddball that they had seen so far in the game that could own a pet like Hunter. In fact, at that point in time, it was known that there was a total of three players who owned a Legendary Beast as their pet or battle mount. Then again, perhaps the number could increase someday.

Now that they had a plan, the two players turned back to the battle and began to attack the Phoenix at their longest, 30 meters range.

If you can't defeat an adversary's sword's play, it would be better to aim at their fingers!

Zhang Yang did not react to their sudden change of plans and only aimed at Wind Chime. As long as he kills Wind Chime in 30 seconds, he would die before he has the chance to use his recovery skill.

It was a certainty that every Inheritance Transformation player would have a recovery skill. Unlike the S class Inheritance, other classes would require 3 EP to be used. For example, Wei Yan Er's {Ripple of the Shadow} would require 3 EP to activate to restore 50% HP. With every additional 1 EP, the skill will restore 10% HP in the next second.

B class Inheritance skills were weaker. For example, Fatty Han's {Bat Form} will require the same 3 EP, and every additional 1 EP will only extend the skill's duration by 1 second. Technically, Fatty Han would require 10 EP to restore full health. An A class Inheritance player would need to spend an extra 2 EP.

C class Inheritance recovery skills are basically 3 EP for 30% HP restoration. Every 2 additional EP will restore 10% HP in the next second.

Wind Chime had over 3 million HP then and he would restore at least 900,000 HP with a single trigger of his recovery skill. It's not that Zhang Yang was afraid of him, he just wanted to save more time and squeeze out less effort while doing so.

Zhang Yang {Shadow Clone} skill had only 10% attack power of the original caster. However, six clones would grant Zhang Yang an additional 60% attack power. Paired with the Phoenix and Felice's attack, Wind Chime was just a strawman waiting to be hacked away by a sickle.

Why didn't he use any accessory to grant him Invincibility? That was due to the fact that accessories itself were rare. Players who are able to fill in the empty accessory slots are lucky! To have an accessory that also possesses an additional active effect would be extremely rare! Perhaps, in the entirety of the Eternal Flame guild, only Scholar Musou, Longrich, and Ink Wave possessed such luxurious items!

As Zhang Yang was beating down Wind Chime, Scholar Musou and Longrich were attacking the Phoenix. The problem was, Phoenix was in its Transformed state. With more than 30,000 Defense value and 20 % Magic attack nullification rate, the both of them were using forks to scrape the steel plates off the Empire State Building!

The best thing was that, Longrich's attacks were not Ice based! They were Fire based magic attacks! All attacks that lands on the bird will only heal it! By the time he realizes it, it would be so late!

Wind Chime was still attacking without stopping. The worst part for him was the fact that he did not know which one was the real Zhang Yang. He wanted to throw a few skills to debuff him, but it was only a one time thing. If he misses the skill, it would be extremely wasteful! In the end, right at his last drop of HP, Wind Chime cast {Blind} on a random "Zhang Yang". Sadly, the skill landed on the wrong person.

"Argh!" With a swift stroke, Zhang Yang ended the player's life.

He then brandished his sword and flicked the blood off the blade. He turned to Longrich and Scholar Musou and grinned, "It's 3 versus 2 now!"

With an intense malicious aura, Zhang Yang had successfully inflicted fear into the hearts of the enemy! However, despite the danger, the two survivors were professional players. They kept calm and cast aside all negative thoughts, solely focused only on attacking the Phoenix.

Then again, it was bad for Zhang Yang to kill these two at this point of the melee. They had A class Inheritances with 30% Magic nullification rates. With their flight capability, they could dodge Zhang Yang's attacks easily. Their only threats were Felice and Phoenix's attacks.

However, Zhang Yang could fly as well!

Zhang Yang jumped back onto the bird. Since attacking the Phoenix was the same as attacking Zhang Yang, he felt no need to hide his true identity any longer.

"Zhan Yu! Prepare to die!" Scholar Musou roared at an intense volume and clapped his hands. A magic circle appeared around him as his eyes glowed with an intense, fiery trail. A ball of flame came shooting down from the sky and slammed down on Zhang Yang brutally. The ball of flame bounced off Zhang Yang and landed on the ground, creating a massive crater. In an instance, the flames died down a little, and concentrated itself around a stone golem which emerged out of the crater.

[Fire Demon Lord] (Elite, Summoned)

Level: 148

HP: 1,480,000

Defense: 5,920

Magic attack: 21,002 – 29,002

Skills:

[Growth: Gains 1% HP, Defense and Magic Attack for every kill.

[Flame Rock: Hurls a burning rock towards a target and deals 200% Magic Fire attack. Instant. Range: 30 meters. Cooldown: 2 seconds.

The summoned unit was the ultimate skill of the Lord of Flame Inheritance. It requires 10 EP to activate and summons out a Fire Demon Lord. The summoned unit will last for 10 minutes. For every EP used during the cast, it will extend the active duration of the summoned unit for 10 seconds. The summoned unit was strong. If protected, it could grow with the skill and become extremely strong after every successful kill. As expected of the A class Inheritance's Ultimate skill.

At the same time, Longrich activated his own ultimate skill and created a black whirlpool in the "swamp" environment. As long as any target steps into this range, they will take 100,000 of Shadow Damage!

Similarly, it has a short active duration and required EP to last longer. Although they were only A class ultimate skills, they were still strong enough to deal large damage, pushing Zhang Yang to the verge of death! His HP had dropped below 20%!

The two surviving players then activated their skills similar to that of {Killing Cleave} (skills that can only be activated when a target's HP is less than 20%). In an instance, the overall damage done to Zhang Yang was increased dramatically.

Zhang Yang kept his cool. He still had the {God of War Radiance} to instantly restore 100% HP. There was no reason to be afraid!

{Charge Up Strike}!

Zhang Yang swung his sword and dealt 0 damage. Right then, Longrich's face was drained of color. His skill {Apparate}, and {Ice Barrier} was still in cooldown. He had no choice but to take the incoming devastating hit.

{God of War Devastation}!

'-992,832!'

Longrich has taken some damage from the battle earlier. Even though Zhang Yang may have been damaged, Longrich suffered a great deal of damage from the combined attack of Zhang Yang, Felice, and the Phoenix. Before he knew it, he too had entered the danger zone.

He knew of the power of a Warrior's combined {Indiscriminate} and {Killing Cleave}. If he takes the attack, his head would roll. Hence, in a state of panic, Longrich decided to heal himself. Sadly, with {Destructive Smash}'s effect still on him, he had only managed to heal at a 25% efficiency, boosting his 5% HP to 30% HP.

After Longrich healed himself, Zhang Yang followed and healed himself back to 100% HP. That's a whopping 14,793,620 HP in total!

It was the main reason why Zhang Yang wanted to kill Ink Wave first in the first place. Without his {Destructive Smash}, Zhang Yang would not have to fear the reduced healing effect. If the tank is left alive till the end, Zhang Yang might haveee only healed 50% of the intended amount!

"F*CK!" Both Longrich and Scholar Musou yelled with agony. Just when they had tried their best to kill Zhang Yang, he had simply turned the tables around by healing himself back to full HP!

Zhang Yang continued his barrage of attacks on Longrich unrelentingly. He had forced the opponent to use their ultimate skills and also their healing skill! Right then, they had no cards left on the table.

"Musou! We're leaving!" said Longrich halfway through as he jumped to safety and rushed over the exit. If Zhang Yang has only 4 or 5 million HP, they could still put up a fight. However, 14 million was a ridiculous amount of HP! The main issue there was that the Phoenix was too strong. It was merely comparable to a B class Inheritance player yet it possessed HP much higher than an A class Inheritance!

Such a Legendary Beast!

Zhang Yang patted the Phoenix, feeling grateful for Fatty Han's efforts in making this possible.

Since the beginning of the battle, Zhang Yang had never attacked Scholar Musou. Somewhat, he felt like he was being ignored. It was the sort of feeling that he was not worthy to be even seen as an opponent!

The two of them left the map safely. As expected, players with flying capabilities were hard to stop. By the time Zhang Yang left the portal to chase them, the two players were already 50 to 60 meters away!

"Woah there! Did you seriously just win a match against four players?!" Wei Yan Er gasped.

"Yeah."

Zhang Yang stood by the party, instead of chasing after the players. Although the Phoenix movement speed was fast, it was roughly the same speed or slower than an A class Inheritance Transformation flying speed. He could give chase if he uses his own S class Transformation.

Then again, it would be a waste. After all, the main objective was to take over the Mythical Dragon Realm in a hostile fashion. Now that they had forcefully made them leave the map, and even had the opponents wasting their Inheritance Transformation skills, they would be able to proceed uninterrupted for some time, unless the enemy would actually swallow their pride inform their guild of this most embarrassing series of events and rope them in.

Chapter 707: Blood Thirsty Skeletal Soldier

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Hahaha! You should have seen their faces when they jumped out of the portal! Hahaha! They looked like clowns!" Little Wei Yan Er laughed.

Zhang Yang scoffed and replied. "You're right. They are nothing but clowns! The fight was rather enjoyable, though!"

If Longrich and Scholar Musou could hear their conversation, they would perhaps, turn around and fight Zhang Yang to the death. They were, at the very least, players who had entered the top 15th Individual rankings. Anyone within the top 100, while possessing A class Inheritances were strong. If Zhang Yang were to call them clowns, where else could he find a true rival?

Even if someone were to complain about Zhang Yang's bad gaming etiquette, he had the right to say such things. Technically, he had faced 4 players alone, excluding the fact that Felice and the Phoenix were not players themselves. Out of the three Transformation skills, he had merely used the Phoenix's skill to defeat all four of them.

The party spoke about Zhang Yang's feat. Especially, the little girl who was clearly out of her mind when she said that she too could do the same if she had been allowed to enter the map instead of letting Zhang Yang.

The party entered the portal and ventured deeper into the map. Unlike the outside world, the place differed greatly. Like the Sahara Desert, the Spectre Kingdom was devoid of life. There was nothing but dirt and sand all over the bare valley. The sky and earth was dyed in an eerie reddish hue that extended to the horizon.

As far as they walked, there were no signs of any monsters. Perhaps, they had been cleared earlier by the Eternal Flame members.

As they walked, only the sound of the Phoenix wings could be heard. After Transforming, the bird had gained a massive constitution and was flapping its wings like a whale. Luckily, it had the skill to freely change its body size. Zhang Yang then controlled the bird and shrunk it down to the size of a horse.

The party of five continued on and came to an entrance of a huge valley. After crossing the threshold of the converging hills, the scenery changed immediately. The red hue was still there, but the field was sudeenly teeming with countless Skeletal Soldiers.

[Blood Thirsty Skeletal Soldier] (Spectre, Normal)

Level: 160

HP: 104,448

Defense: 4,360

Melee Attack: 21,992 – 29,992

Skills:

[Force Strike: Deals 100% physical melee attacks. 10% chance to inflict one additional attack.

[Leap: Leaps across obstacles towards the target.

Note: Only the strongest warriors may leave the valley to face the trial to become one of the close guards of the Necromancer Lodac.

The soldiers in the field were attacking each other. Swords clashed on as bone fragments were sent flying everywhere. Even though there was no blood to be shed, the battle field was still vicious and filled with intense malice.

"Woah woah! Don't go about fighting like that. If you want to fight, fight us! Don't waste the hard-earn experience points!" cried Wei Yan Er as she saw countless of monsters being cleaved down by their own.

"Calm yourself. Look at the spawning rate," said Zhang Yang as he pointed at the spot where the monsters were killed. The moment a Skeletal Soldier falls, a new one would rise up from the earth to replace it. The number of monsters in the field was constantly being replenished.

"Wow! Look at that speed! If we could just camp here for good, we could gain a Level a day!" cried Wei Yan Er joyfully. By then, with their attack power and their monster killing rate, they could easily match with the monster's spawning rate. In a normal scenario, a player's killing rate would be much faster than the monster's respawn rate. Hence, much of the time spent on grinding was running around to search for more monsters in a new map. Training here would cut down their traveling time down to zero! They could, practically spend just one day to gain a level!

Zhang Yang laughed and shook his head, "It does not work that way I'm afraid. These monsters were fighting each other for a reason. Perhaps, when we enter the field and start killing, they would not be spawning so rapidly."

"What? That's just…It doesn't make sense!" Wei Yan Er pouted disgruntledly.

"Nothing has to. Even if they do not respawn after we kill them, the number of monsters available right now would be plenty enough! Don't be too greedy, little brat!" said Zhang Yang as he maneuvered the Phoenix to kite all the monsters there. The Legendary Beast's defense was so strong that normal monsters could not deal any damage to it.

"Yeah. You mustn't be greedy like a certain someone. He likes to take more than he can hold!" Han Ying Xue muttered angrily.

Zhang Yang signed and frowned. The woman was such a jealous sour patch. So what, if Cheng Xue Yao was beautiful? Zhang Yang only had one overworked cock that had to satisfy two pussies at home! Every single time they jumped on him, they would demand for every single drop of his precious semen. Zhang Yang could swear that one day his balls will shrink back into his pelvis! Even Yu Li, his first love had to wait for more than 10 days to a month to get a chance to be with Zhang Yang! If someone wants to complain, Yu Li should be the first!

To kite all the monsters in the valley in one go, the Phoenix had taken close to 6 minutes to travel back and forth. Any longer than that, and the monster's aggro will drop back to zero.

Keep in mind that the monsters in the valley were all normal tiered. Thousands of them coming in a large swarm would still be lethal. A sea of white skeletal with their eyes glowing bright emerald green flames was not a normal thing to deal with.

"Get behind me!" Zhang Yang cried. Even though there were thousands of enemies, they were all weak. Their attacks were so low that they could not deal any damage to Zhang Yang. For him to tank all the monsters, would be fine but the four other ladies behind him did not have equally high defense. They would die easily if Zhang Yang could not hold the defense line. It was most certainly dangerous, since the Sacred Knight of the Eternal Flame had died in battle.

It was close to impossible to control the aggro of more than thousands of monsters at that moment, without the aid of the Inheritance Transformation. At most, he could control a few nearby monsters around him and let them form a natural barricade to block the monsters behind. However, he would need to look out for monsters that could leap from the back.

When the Phoenix returned, it brought back a party of skeletal soldiers along with him. Zhang Yang consumed a bottle of [Power Potion] and braced for the moment of impact. When the Phoenix returned to his side, Zhang Yang swung the sword horizontally and casted {Horizontal Sweep}.

At then, Zhang Yang's normal attack could instantly kill a normal tier monster with ease. What more of a 200% AoE skill! In an instance, Zhang Yang had instantly crushed more than 10 monsters around him. The skeletal soldiers fell to the ground and were turned into bone powder by the stampede of monsters that moved to the front.

Sadly, even though {Horizontal Sweep} was strong, it was not a penetrative attack type. It had a rather limited strike zone and would not hit an enemy behind it, unlike {Blast Wave} which had a fixed AoE, which was 3 meters in front of Zhang Yang, shaped like a cone. {Blast Wave's} attack was penetrative. That means that all monsters standing in the 3 meter cone shaped AoE will receive damage.

Unfortunately, neither did the {Horizontal Sweep} nor did the {Blast Wave} triggered the sword's echo effect.

"Sigh…Noob tank. Looks like your sword is living up to your name. A noob sword indeed." Wei Yan Er teased Zhang Yang and threw a small handmade bomb that was created by Hundred Shots. The bomb exploded from within the crowd of monsters and dealt 2,000 Fire damage in a 3 x3 meters AoE.

The bomb was a product of the Engineer profession. It cost a rather high amount of money, yet it did come in handy when blasting monsters. Wei Yan Er was a natural born bombardier, hence, her inventory was stuffed full with explosives.

Even though the damage caused by the bomb was low, it did have high attack interval of only 1 second. Basically, a player can keep on bombing the monsters endlessly and cause high cumulative damage. It was especially useful for melee players who could not attack monsters that were out of their range. Might as well use the bomb to attack, since there was nothing that Wei Yan Er could do then.

Everyone was standing with their backs leaning against a side of the mountain. Technically, they were all safe and had only needed to worry about the monsters 180 degrees of their frontal direction. Zhang Yang blasted the monsters with {Blast Wave} and dealt 40,000 over damage, stunning them for 4 seconds.

After being stunned, the monsters behind the stunned monsters leap across them and landed close to Zhang Yang.

The Phoenix opened its fiery beak and blasted a long trail of flame that reached out as far as 30 meters. As the flames surged on, the monsters were burned with 200,000 fire damage and were instantly killed. The moving skeletal soldiers were immediately turned into a pile of scorched bones and gave the party valuable experience points.

"WAHHH! MONEY!" Wei Yan Er cried with pain when she saw the pile of coins kicked around everywhere by the incoming skeletal soldiers. She was infuriated and drew out her axe. She leaped out behind Zhang Yang and kept on throwing bombs as she picked up the coins.

Zhang Yang laughed hysterically and said, "Little brat. Perhaps you could try and join the ISIS for proper bombing lessons!"

"Hehehehe. After that, I will bomb your dog house!" said Wei Yan Er.

"Now that you mention it, how long has it been since you last took care of the dog?!" Zhang Yang sternly scolded.

"Ah…Hmph! Stupid monsters! Kick my coins!? I'll bomb your bones!" Wei Yan Er quickly changed the topic elsewhere and ran away from Zhang Yang. The dog was finally bought by Zhang Yang after being pestered by Wei Yan Er. However, after only three days of playing, the little girls had thrown the dog aside and had refused to take care of the poor canine. If Sun Xin Yu had not been a dear and took good care of the pup, the dog would have long left the house to search for a better owner.

The Phoenix was performing rather strongly at then! Since the Phoenix had activated its Transformation skill, its normal attack had received an extended range boost that increased its attack range to 30 meters. All it took was two seconds, and the entire wave of monsters would be killed instantly. Within a few minutes, all of the monsters that were kited back to Zhang Yang were killed, leaving a pile of shiny equipment and glittering coins.

Normally, the normal tier monster would not drop much equipment, to begin with. Perhaps, out of 100 units, only 1 of them would drop one piece of equipment. However, the number of monsters right then exceeded the thousands!

Sadly, the equipment was left there to collect dust. None of them could spare any time to pick them up. Especially Wei Yan Er and Han Ying Xue, they kept on urging Zhang Yang to quickly kill the monsters to allow them to pick the equipment! If they take too long to kill the monsters, the equipment will eventually disappear!

Hence, after a quick discussion between the two sisters, Han Ying Xue took a large bundle of bombs from Wei Yan Er and participated in the bombing!

"Sigh! Hundred Shots could not be that weak. The bombs he created can only deal 2,000 damage! If only they could deal 20,000 damage, that could be swell!" said Wei Yan Er while sighing.

"Think carefully of what you just said. Making a 2,000 damage bomb would have already burn a hole in his pocket. If he makes a bomb that deals 20,000 damage, that would have cost Hundred Shots' entire fortune!" Zhang Yang laughed.

The bombs can be used to damage targets and had its own independent cooldown system. While using it against multiple targets, it could provide a significant damage. It may be only 2,000 damage, and it was an extremely small number compared to Zhang Yang normal attacks, but for normal players, it was still a number that would make a difference!

Hence, the bombs cost and materials were extremely high, preventing large-scale production.

Wei Yan Er stuck out her tongue at Zhang Yang and said, "Hmph! Uncle Hundred Shots is not like you! A stingy old man!"

"Old man…?" Zhang Yang chuckled awkwardly.

Although the number of monsters was high, their HP were too low, to begin with. Hence, the party split up a little to attack from multiple angles to increase the AoE. By the time the monsters could reach them, they would already be half dead.

After 10 minutes or so, all thousands of monsters in the field were killed, providing a massive boost of experience points to the party. Daffodil Daydream was close to leveling before she had entered the map and after defeating the sea of skeletal soldiers, she had reached Level 150!

Chapter 708: Violet Scale Spiked-Back Creeper

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After reaching Level 150, the best thing that they could do then was to equip their Level 170 Holy tier weapons!

Daffodil Daydream was the first to equip hers. She swapped out her old staff for the new [Shadow Lord's Staff] and gained a massive boost to her attack stats. For any class, or any player at all, the best way to gain higher damage was to equip a stronger weapon!

Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er continued to clear the loots on the ground. However, there were drops of more than thousands of monsters. How long would they take to pick them all? In the end, Zhang Yang had only permitted them to loot all the equipment and item. As for the coins, it would be a waste of time, since the total coins they could loot would only sum up to several thousand gold coins. It was a number which was valuable to noob players, but worthless to Zhang Yang and his party.

Although they were greatly disgruntled, it was something that they would have to give up on. The team moved on and left the valley, and proceeded to a lake that was filled with dark water.

The lake was surrounded by high cliffs on both sides. There was no clear land route that circled around it. Furthermore, the map had restricted flight. Flying mounts could only soar to a certain height and glide for a short distance. The only way to cross the lake then, was to swim across.

Zhang Yang summoned the Mythical Turtle. Han Ying Xue had her Crimson Gold Crab, while the others had to rely on [Underwater Breathing Potions] and hitch a ride on both Zhang Yang's and Han Ying Xue's mounts.

After the pets moved into the water, they shot across the water like torpedoes, towards the other end. The problem was that, on land, the lake was so huge that they could not see the other end. Underwater, the vision was shrouded in such darkness that they could not even determine the right direction without resurfacing every once in a while.

Out of the sudden, a shady entity appeared in their line of sight. A long trail of bubbles followed the entity as it broke the water in half, as it traveled like a speeding missile. As it approached the party, the surface of the water burst open like an explosion. A huge four-legged creature revealed itself to stop the party. The creature has a violet scale body and had spikey bones protruding out of its back. The head of the creature was shaped like a duck, and had a flat beak like a platypus. Its long neck was as long as its entire body!

[Violet Scale Spiked-Back Creeper] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 165

HP: 4,950,000

Defense: 6,640

Melee Attack: 43,947 – 52,947

Skills:

[Water Impact: Strikes the water around it and knocks every target within 30 meters of its character for 20 meters back. Deals 40,000 melee attack.

[Spike Pierce: Fires of the spikes on its back. Randomly targets a single target to deal 150% melee physical attack.

Note: The Creeper was once the Lord of the Lake. However, after the essence of the Spectres corrupted the lake, the beings that live in the lake have turned into fellow Spectres. Losing all sense of pain, the Lord of the Lake only became even stronger and vicious.

When the monster appeared, the first target it attacked was Wei Yan Er. Its massive beak was spread wide open, revealing six eerie rows of sharp teeth, as it sank them into Wei Yan Er's petite body.

"Aiyayaya! Stupid monster! Why are you attacking me first!?" cried Wei Yan Er. She unlatched her axe from behind her back and gave the monster a good swing. As expected of a Berserker. The little girl's strength was a complete mismatch to her timid body. With a powerful swing, she managed to strike the monster back!

Han Ying Xue laughed hysterically and said, "Yan Er, did you know, the only way to get bigger is to have more fat in your body! How are you going to grow cup sizes when you are burning all your fats away?"

"HAN YING XUE! ENOUGH WITH MY FLAT CHEST! I WILL BREAK UP WITH YOU!" The little girl shouted at the top of her lungs. Perhaps it was not just Han Ying Xue, Teasing the little girl about her flat, small, undeveloped chest was also other players hobby.

When the little girl was raging on like a mad king kong, the Creeper grew angrier as well. It was the Lord of the Lake! Its strength and superiority were unmatched to any being that lingered in the lake! To think that it could be slammed back by a timid creature, its anger grew exponentially, as it shrieked in a high pitch cry that was so deafening, even underwater. The Creeper zoomed forward and attacked Wei Yan Er again.

This time, Zhang Yang reacted quickly. With a quick push, the Mythical Turtle shot in front of Wei Yan Er and charged at the monster, stunning him. Zhang Yang hurled his sword downward and cleaved the monster's back.

The Creeper recovered quickly from the stun and charged towards Zhang Yang. Out of the blue, the Creeper rose vertically and slammed downward with such force that Zhang Yang and everyone else was pushed away. They had also taken 40,000 damage.

Even though the battle log had indicated that Zhang Yang had received 40,000 damage, the amount of HP that he lost was only 7,255, due to his overwhelming defense and damage absorption. Swiftly, Zhang Yang used {Charge Up Strike} and landed a {God of War Heavy Axe}!

'-1,133,883!'

An impressive damage text floated upwards the monster, which was equivalent to almost 20% of its HP. Even though the monster's description had mentioned that the monster would not feel pain, the essence of life that was hacked away from it was enough to cause it to rage on furiously.

"Woohoo! Dummy is getting stronger!"

"Wow. If guild master could equip the Ascended tier weapon, would the damage go up as high as 2 million, with {Charge Up Strike}?"

Back then, during the war in Emerald Kingdom, Zhang Yang had taken the chance to land the killing blow towards the King and managed to collect an Ascended tier two-handed axe. Sadly, the axe would have to wait until Zhang Yang reaches Level 180 before he can equip it.

"Oh yeah! Noobie tank is hiding that Ascended axe! Come on! Give it up!" Wei Yan Er eyes glinted with joy and greed. The little troublemaker was almost craving for a stronger weapon in order to have a stronger attack power than Zhang Yang.

"Don't even think about it!" said Zhang Yang almost immediately before Wei Yan Er could reach out. It was one of his goals to equip a Level 180 Ascended tier weapon in order to surpass his former self when he was only Level 179 before he "died". To pass the threshold was to enter a new realm, a checkpoint of strength!

"Hmph! Stingy!" Wei Yan Er muttered. However, when she turned back her head to Zhang Yang, the next utterance was simply too shocking to believe. "How bout a kiss to change your mind?" Wei Yan Er even attempted a seductive wink. There was some kind of expression on her that was rather enticing.

Zhang Yang nearly choked on his own breath. He quickly turned around and saw that Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue, and Daffodil Daydream had the same darkened expression. All of them had assumed that he was some kind of lolicon pervert, tricking Wei Yan Er! As quickly as his reaction speed could be, Zhang Yang quickly turned to the little girl and said, "Little brat! I'm warning you! Watch what you're saying there! I'm the one that will be in trouble!"

Han Ying Xue ignored Zhang Yang and grabbed Wei Yan Er. "Yan Er, did that dummy did anything to you? Anything at all!?"

A little surprised, Wei Yan Er shook her head and explained, "No. But he has always been bullying me. Calling me names like, brat and little girl. He even said that I was a naughty girl! He cursed me, saying that I will never be able to grow my chest! What a bastard! Punish him!"

Zhang Yang nearly cracked out a laugh, but resisted it, as the tension of the atmosphere was truly a bad timing to do so.

"Well then, where did you learn how to kiss?"

"Huh? Kiss? I've never kiss before. At most, I'll kiss you on the cheek. That's all. It was just a method I learned from the girls back in the university dorm. They said it was a good way to make guys bow down to their wishes! Sigh…Looks like Noobie Tank was too good…that or…noobie tank is a girl!?"

Zhang Yang frowned furiously and ignored the monster for a moment to give the little girl a good rap on her head.

"Wei Yan Er! You're coming back to the house! You are not allowed to stay in the university dormitory! Bloody hell! What on earth are you learning there!? Everyone agrees?" said Zhang Yang.

"Yes." Han Ying Xue, Sun Xin Yu, and even Daffodil Daydream nodded their head in unison.

The battle did not take too long, and before they knew it, Zhang Yang had landed the killing blow. The Creeper turned belly up, floating to the surface for a while before sinking back deep into the lake. Wei Yan Er rubbed her head in pain as she quickly swam to the dead body to loot all the items before they sunk in along with the body.

Not too far from the first fight with the Creeper, another similar Creeper emerged out of the depths and attacked the party. The battle continued on but had only dragged the time Zhang Yang and the party to move forward.

The map was too large, to begin with. Half a day later, they could not even see the end of the lake, for the hue of the water was too dark! Zhang Yang grunted with annoyance and checked the world map. Lo and behold, they were only a little more than a quarter of the distance from the end! Since it will be a while before they could finish the map, they logged off together and Zhang Yang went for a quick exercise. Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue both were awake at the moment and followed him to the gym to workout. The difference between them however was, one was training to maintain an optimal fighting condition, while the other two were just stretching out to maintain a slim waist and ample breast to butt ratio.

After the workout session, Zhang Yang left to the office to sign a bunch of papers. After a quick swish and flick of his magnificent ball pen, Zhang Yang logged into the game. The four ladies had already started off without him. When Zhang Yang logged in, Han Ying Xue had quickly cried out for him to hurry over. Since Zhang Yang was not present then, Han Ying Xue had used Messick as a replacement for the tank. The pervert scoundrel had been going on with his foul mouth, which was surprisingly effective at making the monsters attacking him alone. Too bad, even the ladies that he was supposed to protect were disgusted at his foul mouth!

When Zhang Yang arrived, Han Ying Xue immediately unsummoned Messick. Only then, the ladies in the party could calm down.

The party continued on forward and only managed to clear half of the massive lake by noon! They had to log out to continue later after lunch. Naturally, Zhang Yang had to have his lunch in the company's cafeteria with the 6 super beautiful secretaries. One would feed him while the other would ask to be fed. It was like a plaything for a King! Sadly, Zhang Yang was not enjoying the blissful moment that 99% of the men in the world would enjoy. Zhang Yang could not help but suspect that every rich man in the world would face similar treatment. Who on earth would want that!?

After lunch, Zhang Yang returned to his office for some real work. As usual, he was handed over a bunch of papers to sign. Zhang Yang had ordered important documents to be handed to him as a priority to allow him to finish his work as soon as possible, to not interrupt his gaming time!

Just the black water lake alone had taken the party close to one whole day and one whole night in real time. Only 24 hours later, the party had managed to cross the lake and walked on the land at the other side. Thankfully, the abundance of monsters and their incredible amount of experience had allowed Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan Er to gain a level. Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu were still at the same level, but gained so much experience points that they could gain a Level in just a half a day's time.

At the other end of the lake, there was a triangular, steep cliff. In its side was the entrance of a cave.

The party did not hesitate to move on. With Zhang Yang taking the lead, the party entered the cave, one after another. Since the cave was considered an indoor environment, everyone's pet, except for Zhang Yang's Phoenix was automatically unsummoned. At that moment, Zhang Yang's skill {Beast Taming} was greatly admired by everyone.

As he recalled, there were only 20 or more [Indistinct Skill Books] in his previous life. Moreover, the skill {Beast Taming} had appeared more often than the rest. However, the chance of getting the skill book was almost the same as striking a 5 million dollar lottery ticket!

The cave led them downward. As they ventured deeper, the walls of the cave started to turn to dirt to hot molten lava. The entire cavern system was brightly lit up by the intense, red-hot glow of the molten rocks. As the temperature grew higher, everyone started to sweat like pigs, their faces glistering with sweat!

"If only Sister Daffy is a Cryomancer! She could conjure some ice to reduce the heat around here!" said Wei Yan Er.

"It's better to just get on with the place!"

Everyone sped up and heard a bird's cawing sound. Seven oddly large crimson birds emerged from the flowing lava and charged towards the party.

[Adult Crimson Fire Crow] (Elite, Beast)

Level: 170

HP: 5,100,000

Defense: 7,000

Magic Attack: 25,048 – 35,048

Skills:

[Flare: Blasts a wave of flame, 30 meters around the caster. Stuns all target for 3 seconds and deals additional 50,000 Fire damage within 15 seconds.

Note: Born of hot molten lava, the Crimson Fire Crows are vicious and wild beasts. They attack in groups and could even defeat large monsters, such as the Violet Scale Spiked-Back Creeper!

Chapter 709: Crimson Fire Crow

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"That's…That's a Crimson Fire Crow!" cried Zhang Yang happily.

"What about it?"

"That monster will drop something called the Crimson Fire Essence! Its one of the materials for crafting the [Amateur Power Potion]!" said Zhang Yang as he rushed over to the monster in delight.

"[Amateur Power Potion]?!" Everyone was shocked.

"How much does it boost?"

"30% attack power!" said Zhang Yang. "Advance tier will give 40% boost! If it's the same as the [Beginner Power Potion, a Transmuted grade 10 could increase the effect by 100%! That [Amateur Power Potion] could provide a massive boost of 60% damage for a short amount of time!"

60% attack boost was not a small number. Naturally, the attack boost would not stack with the bonus effect of strong equipment. Players with strong equipment effects would not gain much benefits from [Power Potion]. It was estimated that the true bonus attack they gain from a 60% attack boss [Power Potion] would only grant them a 20% increase in overall DPS.

"It would not be much, since you don't have the recipe to craft [Amateur Power Potions]!"

Zhang Yang smiled and continued his attacks. "These Crimson Fire Crow will drop the recipe. Though the chance is extremely low, it will be worth it! It's luck now!"

"Well then. It's time to wipe the floor clean of the monsters, then!" said Daffodil Daydream, with an innocent smile.

"Wee! I smell money!" cried the little girl with joy.

"ARKK ARKK!" The crow cawed loudly and blasted out a wave of fire that stunned everyone and inflicted the debuff {Flare} on them.

Wave after wave was unleashed by the rest of the 6 Crimson Fire Crows, inflicting a total of 7 stacks of {Flare} on the party.

Zhang Yang immediately purged the debuff with {Warrior's Will} and struck one of the crows with a sure Critical strike {Destructive Smash}, dealing 480,000 damage.

Han Ying Xue and the rest had purged their own debuffs with skills or accessory effects. One stack of DoT effect would not harm them much, since its just 10,000 damage every 3 seconds. Seven stacks however, could deal 70,000 damage, and that would hurt. Even if just a bit.

The Phoenix excelled best. Not only did it have immunity to Fire damage, it could also absorb all incoming fire based attacks and restore its HP with it! It's the best anti-fire, anti-burn monster! The true Lord of Flames!

As the flames kept on pouring down on the party, the Phoenix single-handedly took care of all the Fire Crows and turned them into fried meat, extra crispy. Even though they were elite tier and had higher HP than normal, one wave of monster would only have 7 counts of monsters. Zhang Yang and the party had no problems at all in dealing with such measly numbers. Ignoring the speed of killing, the Phoenix alone could take care of all the monsters with no healers!

Hmph! As expected of the best Phoenix!

Some time later, all seven Fire Crows dropped down from the sky and vomited out a pile of loot, including two thumb sized, fiery red crystals. It was as red as a ruby that glimmered with an intense vermillion hue.

"Only two? We killed seven of them and only two [Crimson Fire Essence]? What a stingy monster! There's no recipe around, either! Pfft!" Wei Yan Er grunted.

"Sigh…Do you know not patience in your book of virtue? If we can farm one [Crimson Fire Essence] from 10 crows, you can kneel down do your ancestors' altar and burn joss sticks to thank them! Don't mind the recipe. You can start complaining when we don't gain a single one of it after wiping out all the monsters here!" said Zhang Yang as he taps Wei Yan Er's head.

The party continued on further and met more waves of Crimson Fire Crows. They were all in groups, with numbers ranging from 3 to 9. Technically, the Crimson Fire Crows were strong, due to the skill {Flare}. However, it was useless in the face of the Legendary Beast Phoenix! The best way to fight was to allow the Phoenix to fly into the fight, generating that little aggro, so that the party could wipe them all clean without sustaining any damage.

As the party ventured further and deeper, Zhang Yang's inventory slots had started to gather more [Crimson Fire Essence] yet there were still no signs of any recipes. Initially, Zhang Yang was assured that it would be found eventually, however, as they killed more and more crows, he started losing hope. The best way to describe their situation was that they had a lot of meat to be grilled, but no griller nor coal around to start the fire pit!

Thankfully, the lava cave had a rather huge system of caverns inside. On one hand, there was still hope of finding more crows, on the other hand, it was getting hotter and hotter! Even though the cavern was splitting up here and there, it was fairly easy to explore. Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu both gained a level by noon. However, by then, they had only managed to explore roughly 15% of the entire place. Zhang Yang predicted that they may need to spend close to 2 to 3 days' worth of time to completely explore the cave.

On one hand, they had the time of the world to spare. Might as well spend some time grinding their levels there, for the killing rate and experience points was more than the outside world. With a blink of an eye, two days had passed and everyone had filled up more than 50% of their experience bars. If they could spend another two more days, they could gain a Level that easily. Normally, the same level would have consumed (in-game time) a whole month! The reason they could do it was, one, they had no need to run around the map to hunt hot spots for monsters. Secondly, the monster count inside the map was too abundant. Those two reasons alone, had increased the grinding rate by a notch, allowing Zhang Yang and the party to gain a level in just 12 to 13 days of in-game time.

The party walked to the end of the cave and entered a new brightly illuminated cave. The cave was at least three times bigger than the space they were in before, as large as a football stadium.

The cave was made out of hot, molten lava. Sitting in the middle of the cave was a huge Crimson Fire Crow that was clearly different compared to the ones that they had defeated a while back. This Crimson Fire Crow was bigger, and had feathers that glowed with molten lava. Compared to the rest of the crows, the big one was far vicious. Its face and body was scarred, yet the feathers that grew on top of its head were magnificent, like a crown.

[Crimson Fire Crow King] (Rare Mythical, Beast)

Level: 170

HP: 8,500,000

Defense: 7,000

Magic Attack: 25,150 – 35,150

Skills:

[Fire Breath: Spews a trail of fire, dealing 200% Magic Fire Attack to a target. If the target carries the effect of {Flare}, damage is increased by 50%.

[Flare: Blasts a wave of flame 30 meters around the caster. Stuns all target for 3 seconds and deals additional 50,000 Fire damage within 15 seconds.

The big crow was obviously the boss of the Crimson Fire Crows. However, its stats were not too strong, compared to the other crows. The only thing it had, was more HP and slightly more attack. However, the one thing that had Zhang Yang intrigued was the word "Rare". Somehow, he knew that the recipe for the [Amateur Power Potion] will be on it.

"Oh ho…A rare boss!" cried Wei Yan Er. "Hey hey hey hey! Look! Look! At the boss' feet there! There's a tiny bird!"

Playing around the boss' feet was a palm-sized tiny Crimson Fire Crow. Its body was like a regular crow. Somehow, it looked like a bootleg version of the Phoenix. Perhaps, it would be several times weaker than the real Phoenix!

[Juvenile Crimson Fire Crow] (Mythical tier Flying Mount)

Level: 0

Note: Can be tamed.

"A mythical tier mount!"

Everyone had their hair standing on edge. Taking aside the fact that Zhang Yang's mount was an Ethereal tier, which was able to gain tiers automatically. The other party members' mounts were merely Violet-Platinum tier and Yellow-Gold tier. Wei Yan Er had the Violet-Platinum Winged-Tiger mount. While Daffodil Daydream's flying mount was only a Yellow-Gold tier, which was only used for travel. Her battle mount, however, was the mount she had obtained from the twelve-horoscope mountain. At least, it was a Violet-Platinum tier.

Even the stone cold Sun Xin Yu was surprised to see such a rare mount!

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Kill the boss first and roll for your luck!"

"Noobie tank! You're so cruel! How could you kill a chick's mother right in front of it?!"

"Oh! Is that so? Well then, let's skip this boss then!"

"NOOOO!!"

"In that case, shut your whining! I'll deduct your pocket money the next time you try to act smart!"

Even though the Crimson Fire Crow King might have the title of a boss, it was no different from a higher leveled Elite tier monster. Zhang Yang took the liberty to handle it alone and killed it soon after. The four ladies then rolled for the mount as Zhang Yang went for the loot. Happy and satisfied, Zhang Yang found an Alchemy recipe which was none other than the one that he had been looking for, while hunting in the cave for 2 days. Zhang Yang learned the recipe and found out, that besides the [Crimson Fire Essence, the other material he required to craft the [Amateur Power Potion] was an herb called [Blazing Mushroom].

Zhang Yang had an abundance of high leveled herbs collecting dust in his own personal warehouse. After he returns to town, Zhang Yang could start mass producing the potions. Sadly, the [Herb Foraging Familiar] could never collect the [Crimson Fire Essence]. This little crystal can only be farmed from monsters or bought from players. Since most players were oblivious to its use, and the essence crystal can only be used to craft the [Power Potion, so might as well sell them to Zhang Yang since he would be buying them for 50% extra coins than selling them to NPC! NPC are none other than the system, the company itself. The NPC would only offer the players 2 silver coins at most, for the essence! The completed [Amateur Power Potion] could fetch up to 5 gold coins each! When a guild wants to be the first to explore a dungeon, they would have to mass purchase the potions. Zhang Yang could sell them for a higher price of 20 to 30 gold coins each! They would still buy them!

The selling price for each potion would be roughly 5 gold coins in long term. Now that Zhang Yang was going to buy the ingredients for only 5 silver coins each, the profit he would be earning are 10000% Investor would die to invest in a venture for as low of 100% or 200% profit comeback! What would anyone be silly enough to stop earning for the 10000% profit margin!?

A long time ago, Zhang Yang had Yu Li to learn Alchemy profession to have her produce potion in his stead. However, when Zhang Yang acquired the skill {Alchemist's Intuition}, he learned the recipes of all the rare potions himself and concocted them himself. Sadly, he would have to set aside some time to grind and concoct potions as well! It would be a rather hectic time for him!

Other than the recipe, the boss had also dropped a Level 170 Mythical tier Leather armor boots. Zhang Yang kept the boots. Perhaps, he could sell it for only 10 to 20 gold coins.

On the other hand, Han Ying Xue and the rest of the girls had rolled for the mount. Sun Xin Yu was the first to roll but failed at only 28%. The little brat and next, followed by Han Ying Xue and Daffodil Daydream was the last. However, after one round, all of them had failed to seal the mount and would need to start again.

In the second round, the little girl was lucky. She sealed the crow and obtained the Mythical tier Flying Mount. Contrary to popular belief, a flying mount was mainly for traveling, however, the most important factor of all mounts was their tier and strength. The higher the tier, the more it could improve their owner's survivability in battle.

Wei Yan Er summoned the little red crow out and prepared to train it. She then turned to the magnificent Phoenix and said, "Look at the little cutey pie~~~ Awww~~~ It's so cute I'm gonna die!!! Hahaha! Noobie tank! Don't think that I'll trade it with you! This is mine!"

Chapter 710: Darok

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the party was finished with the Crimson Fire Crow King, the was nothing left but to go out of the steamy hot cave. The party circled around the walls of the cave and managed to find a small opening that led to the outside of the cave. After squeezing through the pathway, they were led to another large cave, with a gigantic palace situated in it. The structure of the castle was built in accordance to the shape of the cave itself. There was no other way but to go into the castle.

The castle itself was extremely old. Cracks were here and there, showing signs of severe deterioration. The first chamber of the castle was opened wide, since there were no doors to enclose it. From outside, the party could see countless of Spectre infested monsters that were patrolling around aimlessly. The sounds of their eerie cries, coupled with their extreme numbers was only an early indication that their journey forward will be tough.

Zhang Yang opened the map and examined the size of the palace. It was expectedly huge. Zhang Yang tried to scroll to the far end but was blocked from doing so. Looks like that was the end of the Mythical Dragon Realm. The last boss should be inside.

"Let's go. We're about to clear the map!"

The five-man party went into the castle with Zhang Yang taking the lead. According to the official guideline, every Mythical Dragon Realm will have one final boss. Since the realm had spawned in a Level 150 – 180 map, the final boss should be a Holy tier boss. Right then, all Holy tier equipment, weak or not, were extremely rare and precious. Even Zhang Yang himself had two Holy tier equipment, hence, most of his equipment were Ethereal tier.

As they approached the swarm of monsters, the little girl cried with excitement. "Ooooo! I can't wait to get my hands on a Holy tier two-handed axe!"

"Hm. If there is one, it will be yours, then. I'll be nice enough to lend it to you!" said Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang had no need for a Holy tier equipment since he had an Ascended tier two-handed axe waiting in his personal warehouse! All he had to do now was to grind his level up to Level 180 to equip it! Naturally, he did not need to fight over the axe.

The party entered the first hall and encountered their first wave of monsters.

[Shrieking Witch] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 175

HP: 5,250,000

Defense: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,833 – 60,822 (Physical Shadow Attack)

Skills:

[Terror Shriek: Let out a terrifying shriek, inflicting {Fear} on a target for 5 seconds.

[Possession: Possesses a target and controls it. The effect lasts indefinitely until the target's HP drops below 10%.

Note: The Shrieking Witch is one of the many loyal servants of Darok. She has the ability to inflict fear into the hearts of the enemy. Using that fear, she could use them as their plaything. Many of adventures that had tried to subdue Darok has fallen into the hands of the witches.

"Crap! What a troublesome skill!" Daffodil Daydream grunted. "The shrieking skill is inevitable, but the controlling skill will be a pain in the butt!"

"It would be best to dispel the skill the moment the monster controls you. That, or we might have to fight amongst ourselves."

"Sigh…If only I have the chance to whack the noobie tank."

"What?"

"What?"

However they may complain, they had already reached the bridge and had to cross over it. Zhang Yang took the initiative and started first with a {Spear of Obliteration}. Naturally, since the number of monsters was overwhelming, he had to be careful not to lure too many of them at a time. He tried to clear the monsters one at a time, due to the mind-controlling skill. If he had drawn in three monsters, he might cause the entire team to be killed!

"All that lives shall be ours!" cried the witch as she turned to Zhang Yang. The witch was considered a higher leveled Spectre since she was able to maintain her original human appearance without any signs of decay. Her entire body was cloaked in a thin white fabric that was plastered against her skin. Unlike the other women and female bosses that Zhang Yang have met, the witches were plain normal girls. Average Janes, at that.

The witch attacked Zhang Yang by clawing him with her hands. That was nothing to be afraid of, since her attacks were like using a pair of wooden chopstick to whack a titanium steel wall. However, that was not the main attack pattern. In just a few normal hits, the witch will shriek, causing Zhang Yang to run amok for 5 seconds.

Even though he had {Warrior's Will} ready to be used, Zhang Yang had chosen to reserve the skill for {Possession} instead. Although he had not the faintest idea of whether the skill could be dispelled, it was still worth a try.

Sun Xin Yu and the rest of the team started their attack on the witch once Zhang Yang gave them the green light. Although the other members of the party might occasionally OT Zhang Yang, it was not a problem since the witch's attack was too low to be threatening, even without Han Ying Xue healing them.

When {Fear} on Zhang Yang wore off, the witch then proceeded to cast the most troublesome skill, that was {Possession}.

A large white cross made of skeletal formed behind Daffodil Daydream. Her eyes were shrouded in a thick white layer of cloud and her hands were stretched to be crucified. After one second, her expression turned blank and emotionless while she pointed her staff at Han Ying Xue and blasted off a fire missile towards her, dealing over 60,000 damage.

"I cannot dispel the skill! I cannot even use any items or accessories! I'm completely locked out!" said Daffodil Daydream in the party channel.

"Time to kill sister Daffy!" Wei Yan Er was the first to jump in action and hurled her gigantic axe at Daffodil Daydream.

Sun Xin Yu blinked step behind Daffodil Daydream and started her attack combo.

"Careful! Be careful! Look at the HP bar! Stop at 10%!" said Zhang Yang. Although Sun Xin Yu had higher attack damage than Wei Yan Er, Zhang Yang was extremely worried for Wei Yan Er instead, since the girl was a maniac with the axe. She might accidentally slip up and kill Daffodil Daydream!. That was the main reason why the skill {Possession} was the most troublesome skill ever. It required one to attack one's own teammate in order to save them!

Within a few seconds, Daffodil Daydream was freed of the curse at 8% HP. Sun Xin Yu had sharp eyes. Her final attack had dealt enough damage to knock down 11% HP to 8% at the right amount. Right then, her blade stopped and she withdrew from her. On the other hand, Wei Yan Er was a ruffian. Before she could see Daffodil Daydream was already freed of the skill, she was already too late.

{Apparate}!

Daffodil Daydream had anticipated Wei Yan Er's carelessness and teleported her way out of danger the moment she regained control.

"Stupid! Are you really trying to kill Daffy?!" Zhang Yang scolded.

"Sorry! My bad! My hand slipped! Nishishishi!"

Han Ying Xue had immediately healed Daffodil Daydream the instant she was within range. Thankfully, the skill {Possession} had an extremely long cooldown time. Before the witch could use the skill again, the party had already ended her 5 million HP.

After the first battle, even Wei Yan Er had insisted that Zhang Yang be careful with kiting the monsters. One was enough to send them into a huge disarray. If Zhang Yang accidentally lures in a huge swarm, they might be seriously looking at death's door.

Fortunately, the monsters present in the first hall was mostly skeletal soldiers. The ratio of the witch and the skeletal soldiers were almost 1:9. Even though it was extremely dangerous, where Wei Yan Er had even nearly killed Han Ying Xue that one time, the team was able to thread through the needle hole.

Three hours of fighting later, they had cleared the entire palace of monsters and confronted the final boss.

The final boss was a Spectre wizard with a typical black magician robe and a long crimson-violet staff. Molded on top of the staff was a white human skull that was glowing in an emerald-green hue. Although the robes covered his entire body, the hands that held the staff were visible. It was dried up, shriveled, like a corpse. Shrouded in darkness, only the glow of the Spectre's green fire was visible underneath the robes.

[Spectre Evil Wizard, Dorak] (Holy, Spectre)

Level: 180

HP: 1,800,000,000

Defense: 18,470

Magic Attack: 85,228 – 125,228

Skills:

[Possession: Possesses a target and controls it. Effect lasts indefinitely until the target's HP drops below 10%.

[Shadow Arrow: Deals 200% magic Shadow attack on a target. Channeling: 2 seconds.

[Shadow Trap: Randomly casts 40 Shadow Traps around the field. Triggers when players step into the trap, dealing 400,000 Shadow damage.

[Ring of Shadow: Summons 9 gigantic rings of shadow. The Rings will roll around the battlefield and deals 300,000 Shadow damage on impact.

Note: The King, the Rule, The Lord of the Spectre Kingdom! Dorak was born with an innate talent for the Dark Side. His ambition was to rule over the powers of Shadow, and he had completely abandoned his human self and became a Spectre Wizard. Now, his mastery of the powers over Shadow had even received recognition from the Witch King of the Undead, Mardevich.

"Hey, dummy! Look, there's no Constitution skill! The boss does not have any recovery skills!"

"Hm. That's good then. Since the entry limit was only 5 men. The system has designed this boss fight to be that of a dungeon. Do not underestimate the boss, for each of its move is designed to fight 5 players. He would never be as stupid as the other bosses we fought before. Look at the boss' skills. All of them requires us to be on our toes at all times."

"But, don't we have Inheritance Transformations? Since the boss does not have a recovery skill, this should be a cakewalk!"

"Please. It's not like the developers had anticipated that players would be as strong as us. Do you think the developers would have the time to design the map solely for our level?"

"Enough of your explanation! I'm sick of it, noob tank! Let's get this over with and get my axe!"

Zhang Yang pinched his brow and shook his head. "It's not like you could equip it as soon as it drops! The boss is Level 180. This means that the equipment he drops would be Level 180 as well! The only thing you could do if you pick up a two-handed axe is to place it in your inventory to gather dust!"

"Hmph! Level…Level…Level!" Wei Yan Er mumbled. "Everything is about levels, isn't it! Fine! I'll work hard! It's not like Level 180 is going to run away or anything! Equipment is more important!" Wei Yan Er snorted.

Zhang Yang laughed at her and rapped the top of her head hard.

"Alright. If everyone's ready to fight, follow me and attack after I have pricked the boss! Use your Transformations, now. Together. The faster we fight, the quicker we can leave this God-forsaken place! I'm starting to get bored of this wretched place, anyway!"

Daffodil Daydream raised her timid little hand, asking for permission to say something. "Erhm…wouldn't it be extremely dangerous if one of us is controlled while transformed? 10% would be a tough target to reach."

Han Ying Xue butted in. "If I may, our HP would be greatly increased after Transformation, who on earth has the time to fight you if you are controlled?"

Zhang Yang thought about it for a while and said, "I think it would be fine. Since we would be attacking at our strongest during our Transformation states." Zhang Yang explained it carefully. He wanted Han Ying Xue to maintain everyone's HP at around 10% and above. It would be easier to counter the mind controlling skill. It may seem dangerous, however, even the weakest one, Daffodil Daydream would have 12,000,000 HP, with Zhang Yang's {Vitality Aura}. 10% of that would be 1,200,000! It had exceeded her own basic HP of only 320,000 HP. Even if they were to accidentally take a hit from the boss, their HP would not be in real danger.

"True…"

"But, we still have to be careful!"

Everyone nodded and Zhang Yang gave the signal. Everyone activated their Transformation skill, including Felice and the Phoenix as well. A total of 7 Transformed characters the battle. At that moment, their party consisted of three S class Inheritance and two A class Inheritance players. With the Transformed battle mount and Battle Companion, the entire server could not possibly replicate such a party!

Zhang Yang soared to the sky and shot down at the boss. With the standard {Spear of Obliteration} hitting the boss, the battle was started.

"Ho ho…It's been a while since living beings have walked into this realm!" Dorak took the attack and floated towards Zhang Yang slowly. "Perhaps I should welcome you with open arms, especially when you are here to be my slaves!"

Zhang Yang chained his attack with several skills, followed by the attacks of the entire team behind him. Since Zhang Yang had already decreed that everyone only retain 10% of their HP, Han Ying Xue did not heal, but switched to offensive spells. Having more HP would only be troublesome for the party when the boss uses {Possession}.

Without recovery skills, the party did not face any trouble. Hence, even if they had extremely low DPS, the main issue in defeating the boss would be time! At that moment, Zhang Yang's party cumulative DPS was around 1,450,000! Technically, if everything goes smoothly as planned, they would only need 20 minutes to kill the boss! That is, if they are able to successfully endure the shadow traps, and the Ring of Shadow!

Chapter 711: The Way to Fight is to Lose?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"I applaud your efforts of entering my realm with only the five of you!" Dorak laughed with a deep, husky voice that was both eerie and bold. He then lifted his staff and fired {Shadow Arrows} again and again, dealing 200,000 damage to Zhang Yang.

However, despite being powerful, the attack was like a mosquito bite when Zhang Yang is in his Transformation state. He had 40% magic nullification chance. Hence, technically, he would only take on average of 50,000 to 60,000 shadow damage and lose around 30,000 HP per second. It was too low!

"Come on! Pump it up! Give me more pain!" Zhang Yang provoked him. If he is possessed then, it would be extremely difficult to push Zhang Yang's HP down to 10%. Perhaps, he would even kill everyone, before then!

Then again, it was supposed to be a good thing, yet the boss' low damage hitting was proving to be a little troublesome. At the rate of 30,000 damage per second, the boss would need to take 19 minutes to damage Zhang Yang down to 10%. By then, he would have been controlled countless of times.

"Pest should do nothing but be squashed! Save your tongue, after I kill you, I shall turn you into a headless knight! Perhaps, you can find solace in knowing that you will never speak again!" Aggravated, the boss fired all his {Shadow Arrows} at Zhang Yang. After several blast, he grabbed his staff with both of his wrinkled hands and stabbed into the ground. "Ring of Shadows! Fatten these intruders!"

Gulong! Gulong!

Nine rings of shadow appeared, lining up in a straight line on both left and right of Darok. Like a Ferris wheel that had gone out of control, the rings started rolling towards the party. Since the place was designed like a dungeon fight, all skills were evadable. At every gap between each ring, there will be a meter wide gap that player could stand in to evade the attack.

While that was supposed to be the case, Zhang Yang and the party was not moving away from the rings. Instead, they took the hit deliberately. Each of them took a hit and suffered 300,000 shadow damage. While Zhang Yang and his party were "eating" the attack, Felice and the other battle mount and battle companion were dodging the rings to avoid the damage. Since they were not considered as player characters, they could not be controlled. Dodging the attacks would be the only be the natural thing to do. 300,000 damage was more than enough to kill them in one attack.

The rings rolled from the boss, towards the back of the palace, and back again towards him, hitting everyone once more.

"Haha! Is that chaotic enough for you?! Let's make it better!" the boss laughed hysterically and stabbed the ground with his staff again. Surrounding him, shadow pits were forming. The size of the traps were roughly 2 meters wide and was forming, only 50 meters around the boss. The traps placements were extremely random and the traps were overlapping each other.

"Oh! Nice!" cried Wei Yan Er happily as she charged towards the traps to spring it.

Again, normally, players would dodge the traps, and for good reason as well. Each of the traps could deal as much as 400,000 shadow damage and could kill non-Transformed, non-tank players. However, even though the traps were overlapping over each other, there will always be a way to dodge all skills of the boss. The gap between each trap was wide enough to allow players to dodge them and evade the rolling rings of shadows.

After being sprung, the traps will automatically be removed from the battlefield, Zhang Yang and everyone deliberately moved around the field, stepping on each trap to take the damage. Amongst them, Wei Yan Er was fastest and sprung the most traps. It was deliberate, since the little girl had the Darkness Inheritance with a natural high tolerance to shadow attack. Even though she had stepped on 14 {Shadow Traps}, the damage she had taken was only around 1,680,000. The little girl went on complaining that the boss was just too weak!

"What mad fools!" even the boss was astonished at the party's extremely unorthodox method of fighting! However, as the system dictates, after all the traps are sprung, the boss will automatically replenish them again.

"Sigh…we should have taken some damage before Transforming earlier! It's so hard to lose HP now!"

In the most common situation, players would want to have the highest HP possible during a boss fight. There are even times when the healer had to burn all their MP just to keep the players alive! However, right then, who would have thought that a party would want to have their HP lowered as fast as possible!? Who in the right mind would do that!?

After a few more rounds of {Shadow Traps}, the boss grinned eerily and turned towards Wei Yan Er. With a quick blink, his entire character had turned into a puff of smoke that zoomed through the battlefield to seep into her body.

A familar skeletal cross appeared behind Wei Yan Er and her hands were swung open as if she was being crucified. Her eyes turned white and she had lost control of her body.

"Haha! It has always been my favorite form of enterntainment to see friends killing each other!" The boss had controlled Wei Yan Er character and spoke through her mouth. The little girl then turned towards Sun Xin Yu and charged towards Sun Xin Yu.

At the very moment when the boss had turned into a puff of smoke, Zhang Yang trailed it immediately and waited beside Wei Yan Er ready to react. With a quick smash, Zhang Yang stunned Wei Yan Er with {Blast Wave}. Everyone, including the battle mounts and battle companions had attacked the little girl!

Fortunately for the party, when Wei Yan Er "betrayed" them, she had lost the right to gain the benefit from Zhang Yang's {Vitality Aura}. Similarly, the party had lost the right to gain the benefit from Wei Yan Er's {Strength Aura}, causing the team to lose a little of their damaging power.

However, the little girl's attack power was extremely high. Since she had already Transformed, she could kill two to three players in their team! However, her current opponent was primarily Zhang Yang and Sun Xin Yu. In less than half a minute, both of them managed to dispel the control of the boss by hitting the little girl down to her last 9% HP.

PUFF!

"GURAAHHHH" Wei Yan Er arched her head back and screamed at the top of her lungs, and the same dark smoke burst out of her mouth as she expelled the boss from inside her body.

"Waaa! That was scary! I almost died!" cried Wei Yan Er.

The battle resumed back to the "normal" pace when the boss reformed back at his original spawn point.

Although Wei Yan Er had managed to get herself to 10%, before she was freed from the control of the boss, she had managed to deal enough damage to the party. Zhang Yang was still left with 59% HP, Sun Xin Yu had 48%, Han Ying Xue had 45% HP, and Daffodil Daydream had over 43% HP.

The boss continued his pace and set up more traps and casted {Shadow Arrow} on Zhang Yang.

Now that Wei Yan Er had left with 10%, she had stopped taking more hits and switched to the normal evasive style. Perhaps she was getting better after playing the game, after so long. Occasionally, she could stand at a spot and take no damage at all. At time, she soared around the field, dodging all the traps and the Ring of Shadow, laughing hysterically while she was at it.

Without the healer doing her job, the HP of the entire party dropped faster than usual. By the time the boss used the second {Possession}, everyone, but Zhang Yang was left with 10%. Only Zhang Yang had trouble getting his HP down to 10% in time. He still had over 19% HP left!

It was inevitable, since his damage reduction and absorption were too high and efficient. At one point, he had even removed his shield to reduce the absorption level. Only then, he was able to reduce his HP down to 19%. That or it may have ended up even higher!

Since Zhang Yang was the only person in the party who had over 10% HP, the second {Possession} struck him.

"Everyone, be careful when you're attacking Zhang Yang. His attacks are too strong!" said Han Ying Xue as she cast {Regeneration} on everyone and prepared {Holy Shield}.

It was extremely dangerous indeed to fight Zhang Yang. Note that when the boss controls a player, the controlled player will use all its active skills. Zhang Yang's skill {Destructive Smash} was so powerful that it could reduce Han Ying Xue's healing rate by 75%. It was extremely dangerous, since she could not heal the others in time.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang had only over 19% HP left. It was easy to free him from the boss' control.

"Hahaha! You don't know how long have I waited for this moment, noob tank!" Wei Yan Er glided across the floor and stunned Zhang Yang. She then brought down her axe and cleaved Zhang Yang with high damage. Since Zhang Yang had already removed his shield, everyone had a better time attacking Zhang Yang.

"What have I done to wrong you?" said Zhang Yang through the party channel. Even though he was not able to control his own character, he could still send messages through the party channel.

"Evil henchman! I shall punish you in the name of the moon!" said Wei Yan Er while she posed like the character in Sailor Moon.

Sun Xin Yu used {Shadow Step} to disappear from the battle for a brief second before entering stealth with {Vanish}. She then moved behind Zhang Yang and stunned him before attacking. All of the party members, besides Zhang Yang had less than 10% HP. Hence, they could not afford to trade blows with Zhang Yang. In the worst-case scenario, they might actually be overwhelmed by Zhang Yang!

Fortunately, even though the players could still use their skill, the boss would not use them too often. On the other hand, since he knew that he would be the one that would be controlled, Zhang Yang had preemptively used all his status-removing skills beforehand, rendering him being stunned by Sun Xin Yu without resistance.

After {Ambush}, Sun Xin Yu extended the stun with {Kidney Shot}, extending the stun time by 10 seconds to allow the party to deal enough damage. Right at the last moment of the stun, Zhang Yang's HP dropped below 10% and he was freed from the boss' control.

As the boss laughed at the "wounded" players, he laughed maniacally and attacked Zhang Yang, while scorning them. "Your doom is close!"

Zhang Yang took a hit from the {Shadow Arrow} and awoke from the stun. He then immediately reequiped the shield and continued his attack on the boss.

From the party's perspective, the real battle had just begun then!

Since they would no need to heal, and could not lose any more HP than they had then, everyone was extremely careful while moving around the battlefield. They had to avoid all the traps and the rings of shadows. In such a scenario, when a party is forced to survive with less than 10% HP while attacking the boss, it would be a difficulty that even Zhang Yang's party would find hard to continue.

Those with lower control skill would surely be dead then, as they were too busy avoiding the traps and rings, forgetting to prioritize their matters.

Perhaps it was one of the main factors when designing the boss. To allow players a chance to survive in the battle, the designer of the boss had not bestowed any recovery skills to the boss. It would be a hopeless battle of the boss could regenerate HP while the entire party is too busy avoiding the skills!

Han Ying Xue was at her best. She would not dare lower her guard, even for a second, since they were all at the 10% HP threshold! Despite the fact that all their HP bars were at the very least, at 1,200,000 HP since all their Transformation skill were active. At most, they could take one trap and one attack from the Ring of Shadow.

Zhang Yang was on a whole other level. At 10%, his HP was at 4,000,000 HP! It was almost the same as a B class Inheritance Transformed players!

Since none of the party members then had over 10% HP, the skill {Possession} was completely taken off the floor! The only things that the boss was firing constantly were the {Shadow Traps} and {Ring of Shadows}.

Chapter 712: Savage Bone Crushing Hammer

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The most dangerous part of {Possess} was its ability to control players. Players who are controlled by the boss would be more dangerous than the boss. Therefore, Zhang Yang and his gang rather kept their HP down to danger level of 10% remaining rather than become possessed by the boss.

For normal players, even if the boss did not have {Possess}, the {Shadow Trap} and {Shadow Roller} were already extremely difficult to deal with. While they are dodging either one of those attacks, they might get hit by the other. Each attack could deal up to 300,000 damage to 400,000 damage! So, how many players in the game could afford to sustain so much damage over time, then?

However, for high Tier players, the boss would be easy to slay, if the boss did not have the Skill {Possess}.

All they needed to do would be dodge, hit, and dodge and hit again!

Upon getting used to the pace of the battle, the boss would no longer be a threat to them

Without the interruption of {Possess}, the party began to unleash their full potential, dealing damage to the boss as aggressively as they could. It did not take long before they crushed the boss's HP bar from 70% to 40%, then from 40% to 20%!

"No-- No! You imbeciles! You pests! How is it possible that you bunch of useless beings could deal so much damage to me!" Darok had received quite a number of blows to his face. He was heavily wounded as he appeared pathetic now. However, that was just the visual effect in the game. The boss's strength was not affected at all. He became even more hysterical and violent than before after his HP bar dropped below 20%.

Right after the HP bar had dropped below 20%, the {Shadow Roller} that the boss activated became much faster. Zhang Yang and his gang had even lesser time to adjust their positions on the battlefield now.

"Stinky boss! Don't you know you're not the only one who can go crazy!?" Wei Yan Er gulped down a bottle of [Beginner's Power Potion] to boost her Attack power. Then she activated her {Indiscriminate}, closely followed by her {Killing Cleave} to greet the boss!

'-1,604,698!'

An immense damage value popped out right on top of the boss. Wei Yan Er was very satisfied with the amount of damage she dealt with that strike of hers. It was impossible to see a 7-digit damage value in the early stage of the game after all!

"Argh --" Darok was infuriated. He let out a raging roar and waved his staff around. However, he could only shoot his {Shadow Arrow} at Zhang Yang all thanks to the Aggro System of the game. So the boss could only throw his Skills on the player who had the most aggro value.

"I'll punish you on behalf of the moon! I'm Sailormoon!" Wei Yan Er laughed out loud as she swung her battle axe around like a mad lady.

Zhang Yang could not help but laugh. Then he said, "Sailormoon? You're still not there yet! But you're most suited to be called 'Psycholoon'! That name should live up to your reputation!"

"Wah! You stinky noob tank! How dare you underestimate me!" Humph! Humph! I should have sliced you into pieces when you were possessed just now!" Wei Yan Er unleashed all her super powerful Skills onto the boss while her {Indiscriminate} was still in effect. Well, part of her was venting out her anger, because Zhang Yang did really provoke her.

17%, 14%, 11%!

Without a Skill that could recover his HP, the boss was like being made of water. His HP bar was dropping so steeply that it went down to 10% in just a brief moment!

{Glare of the Death God}!

Shoof! A dark skull began to form right on top of the boss! Very good! It was like putting icing on a cake that looked pretty in the first place!

Zhang Yang immediately activated his {Shadow Clone,} right after throwing his {Glare of the Death God}. At the same instant, 7 'Zhang Yangs' appeared and all of them began to slaughter the boss aggressively. That really boosted the efficiency of their assaults on the boss.

Although these Shadow Clones could not really deal high damage, their attack rates was similar to Zhang Yang's. In other words, if Zhang Yang could hit 3 times in a second, every single one of the Shadow Clones would be able to do that as well. The only difference was the amount of damage that they could deal was much lesser than Zhang Yang's. Other than that, there was also the gang, Battle Companions and the Phoenix pets! Their attacks were insanely packed up together! If there was anyone witnessing this battle, all they could see were the afterimages of blades and Skills raining down upon the boss.

"What is this!?" Darok let out a terrified scream. Looks like he saw his own death coming.

"We're killing you!" Zhang Yang replied as he was laughing out loud! Meanwhile, everyone did not stop. Instead, they were getting pumped to finish the battle once and for all. So their attacks were getting even more aggressive than ever!

'-18,000,000!'

'-18,000,000!'

The boss received a damage of approximately 20,000,000 damage consecutively. His HP bar continued to drop like hell. In under 6 seconds, the effect of {Glare of the Death God} had been triggered 10 times over! After the bombardment of attacks from Zhang Yang and his gang, Darok had only less than 1% HP remaining. That was only 5,890,000 HP left now!

"God damn pests!" Darok began with his final struggle. However, an amount of HP that was lower than 6,000,000 HP was not enough to hold up against the insane party. Instantly, the boss was slain with little effort. Darok collapsed onto the ground heavily and died. 5 streams of white lights merged into their bodies. Each of them received a total of 36,000,000,000 Experience Points, They could see that their Experience Bars jumping up with their own eyes.

The moment after the boss was slain, the {Shadow Traps} and the {Shadow Rollers} that were planted all across the ground vanished without a trace. The entire palace had returned to its original state. Peaceful and quiet.

"Wahaha! The boss dropped a Two-Handed Weapon!" Wei Yan Er was agile as f*ck when it was time to pick up the loots. She already picked up a hammer, twice the size of a regular human. She was rubbing her face against the hammer as we speak.

"Unfortunately, this is a hammer!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud.

"You're the hammer!" Wei Yan Er understood what Zhang Yang was trying to imply. She shot back.

The boss dropped a total of two pieces of Holy Tier equipment. One of them was the Two-handed hammer that Wei Yan Er was hugging. The other one was a pair of pale-gray gloves. There was also a vague crimson radiance radiating across the surface of the gloves. Because of that, the gloves looked mysteriously fascinating.

Other than that, the boss had also dropped two books, one [Skill Point Crystal, and last but not least, a dark-colored order pendant that was the size of a palm.

Zhang Yang immediately picked up the order and took a closer look. Holy god! That was actually a [Level 5 Guild Upgrade Order]!

The Lone Desert Smoke had remained a Level 4 Guild for quite a long time. Their Experience value had been full for quite a while now. They had been waiting to get a [Level 5 Guild Upgrade Order] to finally level up their Guild.

"Tsk! If we sell this to Snow Seeker, I wonder, how much would she be willing to pay us, then?" Wei Yan Er's eyes were beginning to glitter once again. The little brat told Zhang Yang that her classmates were organizing a Summer Camp soon. Meanwhile, she had already spent all of her salary, up to next year's. So, she was super poor right now. Of course, it would be natural that she would try anything possible to get some money now.

The first piece of [Level 5 Guild Upgrade Order] that had ever appeared in the entire game was not to be given to anyone else, of course. No matter how much money others were willing to pay, there was no way Zhang Yang would be stupid enough to sell it! So, he immediately used the [Level 5 Guild Upgrade Order] without even look at that little brat's f*cking face. Instantly, the server began to announce and congratulate Lone Desert Smoke on being the first to ever become a Level 5 Guild. As usual, the entire guild received an additional reward. Each member of Lone Desert Smoke could enjoy earning an additional of 100% Experience Points for the next 3 days.

Zhang Yang was clever this time around, He quickly switched off his private message channel so that other guildmasters like Snow Seeker, Greensleeves Prince and the others could not 'interrogate' him about the Guild Upgrade Order. Well, he was genuinely terrified of them now, especially Snow Seeker. She was born to be smart and cunning in the art of entrepreneurship and business. She could wrap you around her finger and confuse you just by spinning some words. You would not even know if you've stepped into her trap or not! Well, by the time you realize it, everything would have been too late.

Of course, it was very easy for Zhang Yang to 'handle' Snow Seeker. All he needed to do was to act all 'hoodlum' on her. This pretty woman would definitely blush and retreat after that.

"Alright, enough with the fuzz. Just place the equipment down, will you?" Upon seeing the little brat hugging tightly onto the hammer, Zhang Yang hustled her to hand out the equipment so that everyone could see. He smacked the little brat's forehead with his finger.

"You hoodlum! I'll sue you for harassment!" Wei Yan Er tightened her teeth and waved her fists around at Zhang Yang, growling.

Zhang Yang laughed even harder and said, "Come one, who would want to believe that I would harass a boy with tits! Wait. A boy without tits! Wait, that's just a boy. Whatever. Hahaha!"

"Humph! I hate you!" Wei Yan Er rolled her eyeballs back intensely. However, after she looked at the attributes of the hammer, she immediately smiled again. She then posted the attributes of the hammer, even though she was already treating it as her own. Well, she had always been the little brat that loved to show off.

[Savage Bone Crushing Hammer] (Holy, Two-Handed Hammer)

Attack: 23,810 – 33,810

Attack Interval: 3.8 seconds

DPS: 7,582

{Level 6 Socket 1}

{Level 6 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases Damage by 40%.

Equip: Increases Critical Rate by 10%.

Equip: When hitting a target, there is a chance that you might crush the skull of your target, causing the target to not be able to move at all for 3 seconds.

Required Level: 180

Special: Reduces Required Level by 20 levels.

The Attack power of this weapon was almost twice the Attack power of Zhang Yang's [Sword of Purging Devourer]! However, it made perfect sense, because this weapon was a Level 180 Holy Tier weapon. It would be a disgrace to be a Holy Tier weapon if its attributes were not so powerful!

"You jealous?" Wei Yan Er kept the hammer in her inventory while bragging how lucky she was, like a little b*tch. Well, she had only reached Level 150 not long ago. She would still need to grind another 10 levels before she could equip that weapon.

Zhang Yang did not intend to indulge her at all. He just pointed his finger at the other Holy Tier equipment, those pair of gloves.

[Crimson Goblin Gaunlets] (Holy, Heavy Armor)

Defense: 640

Vitality: 8,402

Strength: 2,060

Agility: 875

{Level 6 Socket}

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 16,800 points.

Equip: Increases both Damage and Healing Efficiency by 10%.

Equip: Absorbs 1,778 damage when being hit.

Required Level: 180

Special: Reduces Required Level by 20 levels.

"Haih… who told me to choose the hammer first..." Wei Yan Er shrugged a little and said, "Noob tank, it's all yours! Be grateful!"

Zhang Yang laughed and kept the gloves in his inventory. He was currently equipped with Level 130 Mythical Tier gloves called [Silent Destroyer Glove]. It had been obsolete for quite some time now. However, other than his Accessories, every equipment on Zhang Yang would be at least Ethereal Tier.

As for his Accessories, well… Accessories were just hideous, these days. Most of the players were still clinging on to their level 60 Accessories until today.

"This is weird… this boss is a Spell-type boss right? Why is it dropping Physical-type equipment then?" Han Ying Xue was annoyed, "This is not fair to some people!"

"Stop complaining already… let's have a look at the two Books first, shall we?"

In the end, the first book they looked upon was actually a Blueprint for Leather Work profession players. So, Sun Xin Yu took it. The blueprint allowed the player to craft or make Ethereal equipment! However, even though Ethereal equipment could be sold at high prices, Sun Xin Yu would most probably not get into making them. Meanwhile, the second book was a Skill Book for Spellcasters. So they threw it over to Daffodil Daydream without any hesitation.

[Blizzard: Causes 300% Magic Attack of Frost Attack to the target. If the target is in a Frozen state, then the attack will surely be a Critical Hit. Cast time: 2 seconds. Range: 30 meters. Cooldown: 1 minute.

Even without the Critical Hit effect, causing 300% spell damage in every 2 seconds was good enough for Daffodil Daydream. She could now use a Skill with higher damage now. However, it was unfortunate that she was not a Cryomancer. Without the Skill [Ice Ring] to freeze her target, she could not fully utilize this Skill.

However, if this Skill could be used together with the Hunters' {Frost Trap}, then Daffodil Daydream should be able to use the Skill at its fullest potential. Other than that, Zhang Yang's {Frost Strike} might also trigger a Freeze Effect on his targets. So Daffodil Daydream should have quite a lot of chances of using this Skill at its fullest.

The last piece of [Skill Point Crsytal] was taken by Zhang Yang. Upon swallowing it, he acquired another additional Skill Point. His first choice was to upgrade his {Shadow Clone} to its highest grade. When his {Shadow Clone} is upgraded up to Grade 7, he could summon 7 Shadow Clones at the same time to aid him in battle. Putting aside the fact that he could gain an additional 70% of his output, having 8 Zhang Yangs on the battlefield would be terrifying!

Chapter 713: Probing into the truth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After distributing everything, everyone took out their scrolls and left the Mythical Dragon Realm. Well, this realm was going to collapse automatically, soon. It remained unknown how long would it take for this realm to spawn again. Also, there was no telling where the realm would spawn either. Players would have to look it up from scratch.

After arriving at the main city, Zhang Yang quickly inserted a Level 6 Strength Gemstone into the socket of his [Crimson Goblin Gaunlets]. Until he reaches Level 160, he would not be able to equip it. Zhang Yang was currently at Level 154. He only needed 50% more to reach Level 155. From that perspective, it would not take long before he reaches Level 160.

Also, another happy thought crossed his mind. When he reaches Level 160, he also gets to borrow the little brat's hammer for a spin.

Among the ingredients required to make [Amateur's Power Potion, Zhang Yang had kept a substantial amount of [Blazing Mushrooms] in the warehouse. Furthermore, he could also command his [Herb Foraging Familiar] to gather them for him. On the other hand, the [Crimson Blazing Essence] could only be used to make [Amateur's Power Potion]. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang was the only one who had the recipe to make that. There was no way that players could get it from the Auction House or other shops. Some players even sold them to NPCs for some money after they inadvertently coming across them.

Zhang Yang made a deal that he would pay anyone 8 gold pieces for every piece of [Crimson Blazing Essence] that they could bring him. That amount of reward was slightly better than the 4 gold pieces that the NPCs would offer. Zhang Yang believed that the players would not mind walking a few steps further just to earn some extra gold pieces. Well, he did not dare to mark the price up anymore to prevent any crooked businessman from taking advantage of the situation. They might even try to snatch Zhang Yang's business by offering higher rewards to get them.

From that point of view, we know that The Little Merchandize had grown famous. Every small detail that was happening in the shop was being 'monitored' by everyone in the game. Some businessmen knew that Zhang Yang was purchasing [Crimson Blazing Essence] from the players with higher prices. So they also purchased quite a number of the item and kept it to themselves. They did not purchase too much because they were concerned that it might be a tactic Zhang Yang used to trick them into wasting their money.

After all, there was no true or false when it comes to business. Some people would make or buy a certain number of items that are less valuable first. Then they would purposely blow up the value of those items so that their values might increase. When the price of those items rocket up, they would sell those items that they kept secretly, long before the prices had gone up to earn a fortune! With that sort of tactic, they could easily cripple their competitors in the same field.

Zhang Yang withdrew a large number of [Blazing Mushrooms] from his bank. Then he put them according to the ratio of 3:1 with the [Crimson Flame Essences] into his inventory. Afterwards, he put the remaining of the [Blazing Mushrooms] back to the bank. He would only take them out again after he manages to purchase more [Crimson Flame Essences].

Zhang Yang arrived at the Alchemist Shop and bought some empty bottles. Just when he was ready to make some potions, he received a sudden message from Chen Xue Yao. She requested for help in clearing her next dungeon.

Since he could still sit back and make his potion, Zhang Yang did not reject her request. So he hopped onto his Phoenix pet and flew over to where Chen Xue Yao was. The two of them entered the dungeon. Zhang Yang was making his potions at the rear while his Phoenix pet and Felice took care of the monsters.

The two of them were attempting to clear the Level 70 Vestibule of Stones. Therefore, the Phoenix pet and Felice were more than enough to wipe out the monsters and bosses in the dungeon oppressively. Zhang Yang did not feel any stress at all while he was making his potions at the rear of the battlefield. He did not waste any second of his time.

"You're so famous now, so you must have a lot of enemies, right?" Chen Xue Yao asked Zhang Yang out of her curiosity.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "That's right! Anyone would suddenly appear on my back trying to stab me! I can't even rest without the need to worry about people trying to kill me!"

"Hmm… some people are really born to be bad! To me, games are just games. Why would they bring the grudge into real life!? Humph!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Are you talking about that Heaven's Pride?" Then he shook his head and said, "That prick is just the type of people who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance! He's very used to be arrogant! So don't mind him!"

"So, how did he made enemies with you?" Chen Xue Yao asked.

"Well, during the Soaring Sword Competition in Shang Hai, he used some dirty tricks trying to frame me!" Zhang Yang told Chen Xue Yao about the 'prostitution incident' that happened long ago in Shang Hai. Of course, everytime he mentioned Liu Wei's name, he was practically spitting it out.

"Oh… so that's how it happened." Chen Xue Yao nodded. "You must hate him very much now!"

Zhang Yang smiled. Well, the grudge that he held against Liu Wei would never be understood by any other person in the entire world other than him. Even if he was willing to honestly tell others about how Liu Wei forced him to perish together, others would only think that he might have hit his head a little too hard.

Chen Xue Yao stayed quiet while she was picking up the loot that had been dropped by the boss upon its death. She seemed to be troubled by something.

"This man is not simple at all. He must have something more than just grudges against Liu Wei! Damn it! How can he be so stubborn! Can't he just tell me something I want to know? Must I use my final triumph card as well to get him talking?"

"Or should I just come clean and tell him everything from scratch? If only I can get him to help me, it might be much easier to cripple the Liu family?"

"No! Mum and dad were killed because they were too trusting! If I accidentally pass the information to Liu Wei's lackeys without knowing it, I will be the next to go! I must not repeat their mistakes! Or else mum and dad would have died for nothing! Their sacrifices would have been for nothing!"

"So, he hired Private Investigators to find me… what is his true agenda then? Is he working for Liu Wei too, or is he really trying to get rid of him? Although they are enemies on the outside, sometimes, that might not be true. Business partners are always enemies on the outside but secretly, they are close friends… Only god knows if he would betray me for money! Come on, Chen Xue Yao! Just sacrifice your body, and you can get to know about the true relationship between him and Liu Wei!"

Zhang Yang had no idea at all what was going through that little head of his pretty secretary. When he turned all the ingredients he took along into a bunch of [Amateur Power Potions, they had already cleared the entire dungeon once -- the Vestibule of Stones was only a 5-player scale dungeon. It was a rather simple dungeon. Furthermore, Phoenix pet and Felice were extraordinarily powerful! They were basically clearing the dungeon, like cutting through butter with a hot knife!

After clearing up the dungeons a couple of times, Zhang Yang teleported himself back to Souron's castle. One of the reasons why he was willing to help Chen Xue Yao was because low-level players would definitely not be capable of clearing a dungeon all on her own. Furthermore, now that the central point of the game was more focused in the Chaos Realm, it was extremely hard for her to form a descent party as well. Most of the low-level players would have their friends who were higher leveled guiding them through a dungeon. Furthermore, only those who did not belong to any guild would be forced to clear out a dungeon all by themselves. That was one of the main reasons why they could not gather too many powerful equipment. Other than that, they also lacked cooperation skills. So, they could only clear out dungeons in Normal Mode. Well, a party usually would be disbanded after they were wiped out several times in Hard Mode of the dungeon.

Not to mention, Chen Xue Yao was gifted in the art of gaming. That was also one of the most important reason Zhang Yang was willing to help her. Of course, there was also that reason where she looked gorgeous. After all, Zhang Yang could have some eye candy for his eyes just by staring at her. If she was an ugly horse, Zhang Yang would not have agreed to meet her at all.

Those [Amateur Power Potions] that underwent Transmutation could increase an additional 60% damage to players at the most. It was a great effect that would really make a difference in a battle. The effect of the potions could last for 10 seconds, after all. Plus they only needed 60 seconds to cooldown before players could use again. The average of the additional DPS increment could reach up to 10%! For Zhang Yang who had not activated his Inheritance Transformation, that additional 10% damage could increase approximately 3.75% of his DPS performance. It was just astonishing!

However, when Zhang Yang activates his Inheritance Transformation, the additional increase in his Attack power would drop from 3.75% to only 1.3%. By then, the change would not be as significant.

Of course, Zhang Yang would keep the Transmutated [Amateur Power Potions] only for his own people. He put the others for sale at his Little Merchandize Shop. However, players would need to reach Level 150 before they could consume those [Amateur Power Potions]. Therefore, the number of players who could take an [Amateur Power Potion] was so low that even a person could finish counting the number in two hands.

Potions such as [Mobility Potions] and [Invincibility Potions] would find more usage in PvP matches. Meanwhile, [Power Potions] were more sought after when players are up against monsters or bosses. It would not matter if the bosses were from Open World Maps or Dungeons. Sometimes, players would get so close to killing the boss before they fail. With the power-up of [Power Potions, they could get the job done easier. These [Amateur Power Potions] would become popular when players are beginning to reach Level 150.

Right before they left, Zhang Yang added Chen Xue Yao to the main guild of Lone Desert Smoke. He had clearly seen how capable she was in the game. He could also see her potential of becoming one of the best players in the world, as well. Other guilds would be looking for talented players like Chen Xue Yao. Other than that, since the guild had just been upgraded to a Level 5 Guild, Zhang Yang would need to recruit another 10,000 members into his guild, Of course, he must recruit those who are really going to contribute to Lone Desert Smoke to fill in the slots.

"Silly Yu! Come and accompany me! I'm going to gather some cooking ingredients!" Without giving Zhang Yang a chance to reject, Han Ying Xue pulled Zhang Yang deep into the forest.

Han Ying Xue had already upgraded her 'Cooking' to the highest level. However, to make sure that she can handle everyone's HP bars which were getting longer and longer when their levels were getting higher, she would need to cook up some snacks that could increase her healing efficiency. The best [Snacks] that could be found in the Bakery shop was the Level 120 [XXL Jumbo Cheese]. When Zhang Yang and his party equip their Level 150 Holy Tier equipment, each of them would have to take at least two [Snacks] before their HP bars are fully filled. That would be wasting some of their precious time.

Han Ying Xue bought a Cooking Recipe. The Recipe was called 'Diced-Chicken Burger'. However, the ingredients needed to make a [Diced-Chicken Burger] were extremely rare. They could only be gathered from Level 150 maps. Furthermore, the Auction House at the current stage of the game did not sell this item yet. So, Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue had to go out hunting for the ingredients all by themselves.

[Diced-Chicken Burger] (Consumable)

Use: Recovers 500,000 HP and 200,000 MP over 15 seconds. Can only be used when player is not in combat mode. If you eat the entire snack, you'll also acquire an additional 200 Strength Attribute, 200 Agility Attribute, 200 Intelligence Attribute or 200 Spirit Attribute. The Attribute that you will acquire depends on your highest Attribute. Effects will last for 15 minutes.

Required Level: 150

The main ingredient for making a [Diced-Chicken Burger] was [Chicken Meat] that could be acquired by slaying Arrow-Tailed Chicken. Of course, the other ingredients were [Chilli] and [Flour]. [Flour] could be purchased from shops in the main cities. However, players had to hunt down the Arrow-Tailed Chickens to get their meat. [Chilli] could be gathered from low-level maps and areas. Therefore, the only problem the players had was collecting the [Chicken Meat].

Hang Ying Xue hopped onto Zhang Yang's Phoenix pet. The two of them flew straight into a forest and walked around in the forest. They were trying to find some Arrow-Tailed Chickens to kill.

Although these chicken monsters were rather common in this forest, they were scattered. Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue had to search around in order to find one. Therefore, the two of them did not get many of them, even after wandering around, killing Arrow-Tailed Chickens for about two to three hours. However, Zhang Yang was not bored at all, because he had the lady that he loved at his side, keeping him accompanied.

After walking for a while, the two of them heard the clashing sound of metallic weapons. They looked at each other for a brief moment. Then, they slowed down their Flying Mounts down and sneaked up towards the direction where the sounds came from. All they saw were two different groups of players battling against each other.

Zhang Yang was bored with what he saw. Such clashes were far too common in game. So, he had no reason at all to waste his attention on other people's affairs. He may try to get himself involved if he ever sees people battling against a boss. But PvP matches? Well, he is not that free to do something so pointless.

However, Zhang Yang tilted his mouth a little after observing for a little while. There was a group of 13 players, trying to kill another group of only 2 players. What caught his attention was that the two players were not faltering or losing the battle. Instead, they were holding up pretty good! One of them was a Guardian while the other was a Holy Knight. Both of them were holding shields.

These two players were both Thick-Armored type players. While the Holy Knight could heal better and protect their allies better than a normal Healer could, the Guardian also had an abundance of methods to defend himself. The two of them seemed to be working together like they had been doing this for a long time. It would take a lot more than just 13 players to kill them! This is what people would call a 'Dual-shield Team'.

Of course, having very powerful Defence would mean that the player had to forego on increasing their Attack power. That is the cost that one must pay to obtain a Turtle-shell level kind of Defence power! It was just how things work in an online game. Therefore, the advantage of these two Classes working together would be acquiring super high Defence while their disadvantage was that they would not have the firepower to finish their opponents off fast.

Ten Dusk, Guardian, Level 144.

Female Raid Covent, Holy Knight, Level 143.

These two Tankers did not belong to any guild currently. It was actually quite impressive that they could manage so well and they could still get equipment that were above average! Of course, their equipment seemed to have been obtained from dungeons. Therefore, they were just Level 140 Mythical Tier equipment. It was not considered as top Tier equipment yet. However, these equipment were already considered as some of the top mainstream equipment.

Most importantly, there were no high Tier player in the group of 13. Their equipment seemed to be much lower in Tier than the equipment of Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent. Therefore, they still could not kill Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent even though there were just two of them.

Chapter 714: Information For Sale

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

The 13 players were all from a guild called 'Contra'. It should be a small guild. Zhang Yang had never heard of it in both of his lives. He had practically committed every noteworthy guild to memory. If this guild was not in his memory banks, it had to be rather insignificant.

Although it would be best to come to this map after players have attained Level 150, the other Level 120 – 150 maps were crowded with players from all around the world. It would be almost impossible to find a peaceful spot to farm. Therefore, many players have begun running over to this map the moment they hit Level 140. As long as they do not encounter any Level 170 monsters, none of them would have to suffer at the hands of the Level Gap Suppression function of the game.

However, players must be of certain standard before they can survive in the new map. Monsters in the Level 150 – 180 maps were basically one Tier higher than the monsters in lower level maps such as Kandiya Grasslands and Aomori Moss Land. A Level 150 - 180 map was not the place for all Level 140 players to come and crash.

"Let's leave!" The two of them lost interest after they observed the battle for a short while. Zhang Yang waved a little and the two of them turned around and was ready to leave.

However, Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent suddenly raced towards Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue, without any warning! Meanwhile, the 13 players from Contra had arrived at their spot and rounded them up. That included Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue, of course!

Female Raid Covent reacted extremely quickly and said "Haha! Now that my brother and sister are here, let's see, who's going to take care of who now!"

"There's just the four of you! We're still going to beat you up like pigs!" one of them who seemed to be the leader of the party said, "You bastards! How dare you humiliate my girl! There's no way that you're getting out of here alive!"

"Pui! You wife's the one who grew an ugly face! Look at her! Her face looks just like the face of a monkey's butts! And look lower a bit! There's no chest! Look even lower now! She doesn't even have curvy butts! She looks like a prepubescent! You're telling me that you're still going to treasure her!? You pedobear!" With his foul mouth, Female Raid Covent had really made them angry enough to shoot themselves in the heads.

"Boss! Boss! Don't do anything rash just yet! He, he, he's Zhan Yu!" Well, the Phoenix pet had given it away. One of them could recognize Zhang Yang by looking at his appearance as well. He could not even finish his words properly.

"Zhan, Zhan Yu!" The leader's name was 'Boasting Swordsman'. After looking at Zhang Yang atop his Phoenix pet, he took in a deep cold breath and fell silent.

"Haha! Be afraid! This is our boss!" Female Raid Covent did not seem to know when to stop talking, "Just listen to me. Your girl over there loves to wink her sexy eyes at anyone she sees. Just look at her again! I can tell that she's not the type who would settle down quietly! You better find a new one!"

"Darling! I'm not that type of girl! He's humiliating me! You must get him to apologize to me! Or else you're never going to 'hmm hmm' with me!" Among the 13 players from Contra, there was one female elf that looked like a Spellcaster. She was acting all spoiled up on Boasting Swordsman.

"You shut up!" Boasting Swordsman immediate shouted angrily at the girl and said, "It's all because of you acting lewd all the time! Look at the mess you got us into! They were just passing by peacefully at first. Then you insisted on wanting them party up with them! Did you just have an eye for the both of them? You planned to have a 3P session behind my back, didn't you?!"

"What are you talking about!? I'm very loyal to you, okay?!"

At first, Zhang Yang did not intend to be a human shield for Ten Dusk and his friend. However, after hearing what Boasting Swordsman had to say, he was infuriated. His face turned dark and he said, "Just leave… before I change my mind."

Boasting Swordsman felt awkward after that. Even if he had over 100 guts in his stomach, he would never dare provoke Zhang Yang. However, he did not feel so good after being chased away by the other people like a pest. So he forced a smile and led his party to retreat at once.

"Haha! Thank you so much, my brother!" Female Raid Covent was acting as if he had been friends with Zhang Yang for many years, though the fact was that he just met Zhang Yang a few minutes ago. Then, he scanned his eyes across the body of Han Ying Xue and said, "Yo, brother! Your girl is too damn fine! The front and the back are all there! The only imperfection is her face! But no one can see when the lights are out! The sensation of the touching and grabbing are the things that matter the most! Cover the face, bang the base!"

What the f*ck! What kind of thick-faced prick is this?

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Did anyone ever tell you that your mouth stinks?"

"A lot of them! But sometimes I just don't care! Hehehehehe!" Female Raid Covent spoke like a man of marked individuality. Then he rested his arm over Zhang Yang's shoulders as if nothing had happened back there. His 'wretchedness' was even higher than Fatty Han's!

"Zhan Yu?" On the other hand, Ten Dusk was acting much more matured and poised. His face seemed serious all the time. It was truly a wonder that he would end up with a wretched friend like Female Raid Covent.

Since his Phoenix pet had given his identity up to the others, Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes."

"This is weird! You're not as handsome as I am! How are you so famous then?" Female Raid Covent fixed his eyes on Zhang Yang's face. Then his eyes scanned Zhang Yang from head to toe. Then he continued to say, "But nevermind, I'm going to surpass you and become Number One in the entire game!"

What a thick-faced son of the b*tch!

Zhang Yang did not even have the intention to ask what happened between these two with those players from Contra. Well, he was 90% sure that it must have been because of that loud mouth of Female Raid Covent. He did provide them a great 'sample' right here, right now. So Zhang Yang smiled and said, "So let's part ways now!"

"Aiyoyo… don't be so hasty!" Female Raid Covent quickly stopped Zhang Yang and said, "We're here because of fate. Can't you feel my passion? I want to know more about you!"

"NO!"

"Come one! Don't be so cold to me!" Female Raid Covent was acting like a piece of chewing gum and glued himself on Zhang Yang. It was really hard to get rid of him now. "You even brought a girl with you to grind! You have my style! Unfortunately, that boring man over there is not interested in ladies. He even chased away all of my girl fans. Or else with my charm leaking about, girls would scream and shout in excitement while following me around!"

Zhang Yang frowned intensely at what Female Raid Covent had to say. This fellow is really too good at acting friendly with strangers! He looked at Ten Dusk realized that he was frowning too. It seemed that this Female Raid Covent was really a wretched package of 'trouble' to begin with.

"Oh, right! Are you interested in taking on a boss with us?" Female Raid Covent suddenly changed a new topic, "It's a Holy Tier super boss! So, what do you say we try it out together? We'll split the loots fifty-fifty!"

This man did not sound trustworthy, though. Zhang Yang looked over towards Ten Dusk. Ten Dusk looked back at Zhang Yang and he said, "It's a Level 175 Holy Tier boss. He's called Ghostface Monkey King. Unfortunately, we can't beat that boss."

It made perfect sense. A super boss on an Open World Map would have a HP Recovery Skill. Furthermore, these two only had powerful Defences. They did not have much of an Offence to begin with. Even if Zhang Yang goes up against the boss with his {God of War Transformation} activated, he might not even be able to beat the boss.

Zhang Yang could not help but laugh, "However, we only have two Healers and two Tankers. How much DPS do you expect us to muster? We won't even get past his HP regeneration!"

"Well, you can call your other friends along. But we're still splitting the loots fifty-fifty!" Female Raid Covent spoke like he was fooling around, "Only we know where the boss is. So, what do you say about this? If you go, at least you're going to get something. But if you don't, you'll get nothing at all!"

Zhang Yang gave it some thought and said, "A Level 175 boss would drop Level 170 equipment. Even if those equipment have the Special attribute that reduces Required Level by 20 levels, you still need to be Level 150 to equip them. Let's make another deal. After we split the loot fifty-fifty, I will use two of my Level 140 Ethereal Tier equipment to exchange one of your Level 150 Holy Tier equipment. Think about it! You get 2 in return while I only got one. It's a fair trade!"

Female Raid Covent and Ten Dusk looked at each other and nodded at the same time. "Deal!"

Yes, Holy Tier equipment are extremely valuable and rare at the current stage of the game. However, players could only wear them when they reach the Required Level to be eligible to wear them. It was not like everyone need to show themselves off in a Fashion Exhibition or what. Currently, Ten Dusk was Level 144. It would still take about two and a half months for him to get up to Level 150. Meanwhile, exchanging 1 Holy Tier with 2 Ethereal Tier equipment sounds much better than holding onto the equipment that they could not wear yet for so long. Other than that, having two Ethereal Tier equipment on them would definitely not be weaker than having one Holy Tier equipment on them. More importantly, they could equip the Ethereal Tier the moment they get it. After weighing the pros and cons, they decided to take the deal.

After they had struck the deal, Female Raid Covent and Ten Dusk began to lead Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue to the location of the boss.

"So I see that you guys have not joined any guild yet. I'm just wondering, how did you guys manage to get good equipment like these Mythical Tier equipment?" Han Ying Xue was asking out of her curiosity. Of course, she was asking Ten Dusk. Well, Mythical Tier equipment can only be found in the Hardcore Mode of a dungeon. Meanwhile, the game developer decided to spice up the game for players to be more active in clearing dungeons. They made every equipment that players find in the Death Swamp to be 'bound upon pick up'. Players would not be able to sell the equipment they farm from that dungeon anymore.

If players would like to get their hands on Mythical Tier equipment which was deemed to be the most popular and powerful equipment in the current stage of the game, they would have to work their *sses off to get them on their own.

"Well, there are many Gold Parties out there. As long as they're willing to pay up, we will join in and help them clear dungeons like Death Swamp. Well, sometimes they even pay hundreds of thousands to us by the end of it. So after earning a few rounds, we have enough money to keep ourselves up to date!" Female Raid Covent cut in before Ten Dusk could say anything.

Well, a Gold Party is a party where some players with good equipment bring some players with weak equipment into clearing some dungeons. The price of having these powerful players running errands for the weaker players would be based on the number of equipment they could get. This is one of the tactics that the players came up with to defy the 'bound upon pick up' feature for the new dungeon Death Swamp. However, the equipment of players who hired others would not have equipment that were up to the standard. Well, in a 5-player scale dungeon, lacking one powerful DPS could make the whole situation very difficult to deal with, Therefore, there were only a few powerful guilds that were capable of forming Gold Parties.

Lone Desert Smoke also had Gold Parties. However, Zhang Yang and his gang would never waste their time on running errands like that. Well, they could handle everything by themselves anyway. So, Han Ying Xue had no knowledge at all about what a Gold Party is.

The four of them went through a series of twist and turns across the mountains. After traveling for over 3 to 4 hours, they finally arrived at the entrance of a small valley. Flowers and other green plants were flourishing across the entire valley. The place seemed magically peaceful and green. By the west side of the valley, there was a lake of the size of almost one-third the entire valley.

The entrance of the valley was very hard to spot. Well, it was hidden in plain sight. Of course players would miss it if they were just flying by the place.

Therefore, the most difficult part about such bosses would be finding them in the first place. Otherwise, there was no boss in the game that players could not take down, not yet.

As they proceeded forward, they went along the side of the lake. After a moment of walking, the four of them arrived at a sandy white beach. There was a large ape, covered in coal-black fur, sleeping by the beach. It was spouting out flames from its nose. The blazing air current was so strong that the sands were swept up from the sandy ground as if there was a fan blowing the sand away, one wave after another.

This ape was at least 10 meters high. If it stands up straight, this ape should be as tall as a 3 story house. Its eyes were sunken deep into its face. Its fangs protuded from its mouth, making it look extremely ferocious. Well, that was most probably why it was called a Ghostface Monkey King, then.

[Ghostface Ape King]

Level: 175

HP: 17,000,000,000

Defence: 17,660

Melee Attack: 140,154 - 200,154

Skills:

[Ground Hammer: Shakes the ground with pure power and causes the ground within the area of 50 meters to crack and break. All targets within the effective range will receive 200,000 Physical Damage. All targets will be stunned for 3 seconds.

[Slam: Slam onto a target causing 100% Melee Attack of Physical Damage to the target. The Healing Efficiency of the target will be reduced by 50%.

[Beast Constitution: Recovers 1% HP in every 30 seconds. The amount of HP recovered will not be affected by any other effects.

[Summon: Summons the same number of Elite Tier Ghostface Monkeys, based on the number of players on the boss's Aggro list.

Note: Ghostface Monkeys were born to be ferocious, and they love to kill. They can get even more ferocious than you can possibly imagine to those who trespass their territory.

Chapter 715: The Ghostface Monkey King

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"See? Isn't the boss looks powerful? Me and my depressed man here could not even defeat it even activating our Transformation Skills!" Female Raid Covent noticed that Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xue was frowning intensely upon seeing the boss. So he spoke proudly.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? He was showing off about how he and his friend got defeated by the boss!

Zhang Yang equipped his [Party Summon Order] first. Then he informed Sun Xin Yu, Hundred Shots and the others about the situation. After using his [Party Summon Order, everyone was teleported to Zhang Yang's location. After seeing two strangers standing right beside him, everyone was curious.

However, Female Raid Covent widened his eyes at Wei Yan Er. Then he said, "What a cute loli! Come, I will bring you to see some goldfish!"

Wei Yan Er felt a cold shiver up her spine after realizing how Female Raid Covent was staring at her. She quickly hid herself behind Zhang Yang and said, "Hamsap1 uncle! My brother-in-law is here with me! You better don't try anything funny!"

Hamsap uncle? This little brat has been corrupted for real! She even knew the correct term to use, now!

Zhang Yang shook his head and pointed his finger at the boss. "Starlight, you'll be the tanking the boss when the battle begins. Is your Transformation Skill still available now?"

Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue, Wei Yan Er and Daffodil Daydream had activated their Transformation Skills when they were clearing the Mythical Dragon Realm. They had not expected to encounter another Holy Tier boss so soon after their previous encounter. Truth be told, Zhang Yang could still handle the boss's attacks. Each of the normal attacks from the boss would only cause approximately 200,000 damage. However, it would be much easier to let Endless Starlight take the lead with his Inheritance Transformation activated.

"Roger, boss! And yes! Mine is still available!" Endless Starlight quickly nodded.

"How about you guys?" Zhang Yang looked at Hundred Shots, Lost Dream, Fatty Han and Fantasy Sweetheart.

"Still here!"

"Still available!"

They nodded as well.

"Very good! Then our DPS should probably reach up to 1,000,000. The boss has a total of 17,000,000,000 HP and it's capable of recovering 1% of its total HP once in every 30 seconds. That would mean the boss can recover 570,000 HP per second. Our effective DPS would be about 430,000 damage. Theoretically speaking… we should be able to take out the boss in about 70 minutes, give or take!" Zhang Yang said.

"Oi! Brother-in-law! Aren't you forgetting about us two?" Female Raid Covent suddenly protested.

"You Hamsap uncle! How dare you take advantage of me!" Wei Yan Er was not stupid. She immediately laid her protest on Female Raid Covent as well!

Zhang Yang laughed it off and said, "So, how much Damage Output can you provide, then?"

"… basically none." Female Raid Covent instantly squatted down and started to draw circles with his finger. However, he jumped back up and said, "But, my walking kill-joy over there packs quite a punch!" He ran over and locked his arm with Ten Dusk's arm. That intimate gesture could really give others a great chill up their spines.

Zhang Yang ignored that hamsap uncle and continued to speak, "There are two things that we need to be aware of, here. One, his [Ground Hammer] is an AoE attack. The impact will spread and stun anyone who can't get away in time. If the rate of the boss activating this Skill is frequent, it could become a threat that we cannot ignore. Furthermore, it will also decrease our efficiency of dealing damage to the boss. So no doubt that the boss battle will be prolonged a little. Other than that, we must be careful about the Elite monsters that the boss can summon. There are 12 of us here. The boss will summon 12 Elite Ghostface Monkeys. I will, erm, Me and Ten Dusk will lure the monsters when they appear. Everyone will have to focus on clearing out the monsters first before we focus back on the boss!"

If there were only 12 Elite monsters in the entire boss battle, Zhang Yang could slowly kite the monsters around until they're dead. However, the boss would not just activate his [Summon] once throughout the entire boss battle. Each [Summon] would bring out 12 Elite Tier monsters. If the number of the monsters adds on by 12 every time the boss activates its [Summon, the situation could get out of hand, and the entire party would get wiped out!

"Hamsap uncle! You can actually contribute by killing yourself now! Then, we will only have to battle against 11 monsters!" Wei Yan Er shrugged and said, "For the sake of our party, you should sacrifice yourself for the greater good!" before Female Raid Covent could even stand back on his feet, he squatted back down and continued to draw circles with his finger. Then he said, "How can you underestimate me! I'm also a powerful Healer you know! I can even heal your breasts so that they would become F-Cup!"

F-Cup! Wei Yan Er raised her eyebrows a little. Currently, her boobs were borderline A-cup. After hearing what that hamsap uncle had to say, she was infuriated. She was on the verge of smashing that hamsap uncle with her battle axe.

"Alright! Starlight, be ready to move!" Zhang Yang quickly said. He wanted to prevent the little brat from killing Female Raid Covent before the boss battle even starts.

Endless Starlight just nodded. Then, he immediately activated his King Long Transformation. Instantly, he transformed into a gigantic King Kong. After thumping his chest, he rode his poor little wild boar and charged towards the boss.

"Hahaha!" Female Raid Covent instantly burst into laughter after seeing that scenario. "A King Kong of that size riding a wild boar! You're too much, man! Are you some sort of comedian in real life?"

Endless Starlight was also dissatisfied with his own appearance. Also, there was barely any hair on his entire body. Some strands were just long enough to 'protect' some parts of his body. As he charged forward, those strands would float in the air along the wind. After hearing what Female Raid Covent had to say, he felt depressed.

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!" Speaking of which, the boss was also an ape. After noticing that a King Kong was charging towards it, the boss did not falter. Instead, it stood up on its hind legs. Its eyes glowed as it thumped its own chest. Then, the boss charged towards Endless Starlight.

A loud bang was heard when Endless Starlight and the boss clashed into each other. The boss was extremely strong. It managed to ram Endless Starlight so hard that he was pushed a few steps back. However, the boss played a dirty trick on Endless Starlight. He took hold of Starlight's hairy crotch, grabbed, and twisted it!

"Haha! Starlight! Aren't you supposed to tank with the boss, not make out?"

"Hmm, the two of you are made by the gods to be a perfect match! Just get together already!"

"It's a wonderful year for gay couples, didn't you know!"

Fatty Han and Lost Dream were laughing out loud at him. Furthermore, Female Raid Covent was also making fun of him. Endless Starlight was filled with grievance and anger at the same time because of that. Why must this f*cking boss be so f*cking wretched!?

This Ghostface Monkey King must be horny now. Every single hit from the boss was aiming straight for the crouch of Endless Starlight. The worse part about it was that the boss seemed particularly excited while drooling. Its eyes were glowing intensely, as it was making the 'Ooh Ooh' sound repeatedly.

"Starlight, why don't you just satisfy the boss then?" Fatty Han was about to crack his own pot. "Maybe you'll have a bunch of Ghostface little monkeys by the end of next year! You can go out bringing them with you by then! You can defeat anyone or any god you like! No one will stand in your way!"

However, Fatty Han and Lost Dream were the only ones who were making fun of Starlight. The others were standing by at the side. The moment Endless Starlight had the boss locked on him, they charged out and launch their assaults on the boss. They went and surrounded the boss in their tactical formation. Those who could still activate their Transformation Skills began to activate theirs without hesitation. The moment the Red Dragon pet and Phoenix pets activated their Transformation Skills, the scene became glorious!

To reduce the Healers' pressure, Hundred Shots and Fatty Han rode their own pet mounts. They did not summon out their other pets as well. Meanwhile, the others also did not summon their Battle Companions that would only become a hindrance.

Meanwhile, Female Raid Covent and Ten Dusk were clever enough to understand the situation, They did not summon their Battle Companions as well. One of them was riding on a Black Leopard, charging towards the boss, while the other one was riding on a large Scorpion, joining up with the Healers in the rear.

{Glare of the Death God}!

Because the party would take more than just an hour to defeat the boss, theoretically speaking, Zhang Yang did not hesitate at all in throwing out his strongest Ultimate Skill. However, it was an unfortunate attempt. Before the dark mist could form into a dark skull on top of the boss, the Skill was resisted.

Everyone sighed heavily. However, none of them took it to heart. After all, everyone knew how low the success rate of this Skill was.

"Ooh!" Upon being surrounded by Zhang Yang and the party. The boss was receiving high values of damage. It instantly roared out in anger and tapped its chest for a few rounds. Then, the boss slammed its hands onto the ground and created a very powerful impact of shockwave! It was like smashing a gigantic sledgehammer onto the ground!

Instantly, the shockwave swept the dust and sand on the ground along with it, as it spread out into the surroundings. The ground was cracked and countless of spiky rocks emerged from beneath the surface of the ground, causing a basic damage of 200,000 damage to everyone.

Although top Tier equipment had the ability to absorb a certain amount of damage, the Holy Tier equipment that Zhang Yang had on him could only absorb as much as 10,000 to 20,000 damage. Meanwhile, the others only managed to absorb about 8,000 damage, at most. Such a small amount of damage absorption attribute could do next to nothing for Zhang Yang's gang. Other than the Tankers who had Damage Immunity attributes, the others were basically sustaining a full 200,000 damage from the impact of the boss's {Ground Hammer}.

Those who had activated their Transformation Skills could still afford a damage of 200,000. Fatty Han and Hundred Shots had boosted their total HP up to at least 20,000,000 HP. They would not feel much pain from that attack. Meanwhile, Although Sun Xin Yu and the ladies could not activate their Transformation Skills, they still had over a total HP of 300,000. As long as they did not die from that wave of attack, the Healers would be able to fill their HP bars back.

After the 3-second Stun Effect, Han Ying Xue quickly waved her staff around and made it her priority to throw her healing Skills on the players who had not activated their Transformation Skills. By doing so, she managed to prevent the boss from killing those players instantly with another wave of {Ground Hammer}. After activating her Inheritance Transformation, Fantasy Sweetheart's healing capability had increased tremendously. She was almost as powerful as Han Ying Xue in such regard now. The two of them combined their strength to heal the rest of the party.

Although Female Raid Covent did not seem to be reliable at the start, his awareness on which player to heal first was quite astonishing, actually. He was trying to heal up those whose HP bars were still very low. Streams of holy lights were flashing across the wounded, raising their HP bars back to their full states.

Even though Holy Knights did not have the ability to heal many players at the same time like Priests do, but they excelled in single target healing. Each of them had their own share of advantages and flaws. The Priests would heal the entire party, while the Holy Knights would heal those who were in a more critical state.

After tens of seconds of healing, everyone's HP bar was back to their full health states, except for Endless Starlight.

It seemed that the tens of seconds of healing was the best that the Healers could do. In other words, the party would only be able to sustain the impact of the boss's {Ground Hammer} once every ten seconds. That was the rate of {Ground Hammer} that they could take on without being taken down. If the boss were to activate its {Ground Hammer} a little more frequently, then the entire party might get wiped out.

Fortunately, the boss only activated its {Ground Hammer} after every 10 seconds. The second wave of impact caused a heavy damage to everyone just like the first time. After some mental calculations, everyone knew that the {Ground Hammer} had 30 seconds of cooldown period. However, when the boss only had 20% HP left, the rate of the boss activating its {Ground Hammer} would be shortened down to 20 seconds, or 15 seconds short, or it may even be 10 seconds!

They could only focus their firepower for now. Even though the boss had a Skill that could recover its HP, but having the boss lose a total of 430,000 HP per second was a good progress, so to speak. Everyone could witness that the boss's HP bar was visibly dropping.

"Ooh! Ooh!" The Ghostface Monkey King was beginning to roar in rage. It smacked its own chest raw and screamed to the sky.

Instantly, 12 mini-sized Ghostface Monkeys appeared from all directions of the battle ground. They were charging towards Zhang Yang and the party while making the sound of 'Ooh Ooh Ooh'. They were extremely agile. They would have no problem keeping up with mounts.

[Ghostface Monkey] (Elite, Summon)

Level: 170

HP: 5,100,000

Defense: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,774 – 60,774

Skills:

[Trample of War: Stomps the ground and causes 50,000 Physical Damage to all targets within the range of 3-meters from the monster. All targets will be afflicted with Stun Effects for 1 second.

Zhang Yang immediately commanded his Phoenix pet and charged towards the Ghostface Monkey. At the same time, he also said, "Ten Dusk! Get those monsters away from our ranged-combatants!" Zhang Yang was not very confident with Ten Dusk because he was an outsider after all. So he also commanded, "Hundred Shots! Support Ten Dusk and lure the monsters away!"

Chapter 716: Empowered Damage Output

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After activating their Transformation Skills, the Red Dragon pet and the Phoenix pet had a 30-meter long flaming tongue. Although the amount of damage from their attacks were based on their Melee Attack power, their melee attacks were basically far enough to be considered range attacks. Therefore, Hundred Shots was standing together with the range-combatants as he was launching his attacks at the boss. After hearing Zhang Yang's command, he immediately nodded and turned his Red Dragon around. Then he commanded his Red Dragon to spit out a blast if {Dragon Breath} at the monsters.

With the advantage of having a 30-meter attack range, Hundred Shots was able to lure the monsters over to him. Meanwhile, he had over 20,000,000 HP upon riding on his Red Dragon. So he had no reason to fear, even if he is surrounded by a bunch of Elite Tier monkeys.

Ten Dusk had revealed his true power in being an outstanding Tanker. With a blast of his {Blast Wave}, he stunned all 12 monsters at the same time and began the process to get the aggro values from the monsters. 4 seconds after the monsters were stunned, the Ghostface Monkeys began to recover. Before the monsters could even do anything, Ten Dusk struck out a blast of {Thunder Strike} reducing the movement speed of 6 Ghostface Monkeys.

Because he had not yet created enough aggro values to surpass the aggro values that Hundred Shots had on him, the 6 monsters charged at Hundred Shots without even looking at Ten Dusk. However, that was good enough for them. The monsters could not deal any damage to them, yet.

Naturally, Zhang Yang had lured the other 6 Ghostface Monkeys on his side. He immediately kited the monsters towards the other 6 monsters on the other side. Well, he wanted to gather all 12 monsters in one spot first before he could begin to slaughter them up.

The movement speed of the Phoenix pet was extremely agile. It did not take long before Zhang Yang managed to gather all 12 monsters in one spot. Right after the monsters were lured into place, Zhang Yang hopped down from the Phoenix pet and activated his {Thunder Strike} upon them. Well, his {Thunder Strike} is already enhanced. Not only could it slow the monsters down over a longer period of time, its effects were also much stronger!

However, even Zhang Yang was not capable of getting enough aggro values over a short period of time to pull the other 6 monsters that were pursuing Hundred Shots over to him. Fortunately for him, players and monsters were completely different in term of 'improvising' according to the situation. Even though the 6 monsters were currently fixed on pursuing Hundred Shots, Zhang Yang could kite the monsters towards Hundred Shots and gather all 12 monsters in the same spot.

As long as the monsters are all gathered in the same spot, then Zhang Yang and the others would be able to unleash hell upon them. Since both Zhang Yang and Ten Dusk had {Thunder Strike} to slow the movement speed of the monsters, there was no need for anyone to worry about going OT.

"There's no need for everyone to focus on the Elite monsters. Fatty Han alone is more than enough!" Zhang Yang said. Two Phoenix pets and one Red Dragon pet were the most powerful AoE attackers in the area currently. No one in the party could match their AoE attacks. Well, if that is the case, the others would be better off focusing their attacks on the boss. They should just let the 'professionals' handle the AoE attacks on the 12 Elite Tier monsters.

Legendary grade pets like the Phoenixes and Red Dragon had very strong AoE attack capabilities. After activating their Transformation Skills, they could become even more powerful than before! Each {Dragon Breath} could cause up to 200,000 damage to all targets within range. Not to mention, {Dragon Breath} could be used once every 2 seconds! Theoretically speaking, 25 shots of {Dragon Breath} would be able to empty out a total of 5,000,000 HP. With two of these pets coming together, 25 seconds was the time needed for them to wipe out every Ghostface Monkey within range.

As for Ten Dusk, he basically did not have to do anything.

"That's awesome!" Female Raid Covent immediate gave two thumbs up at the Phoenixes and the Red Dragon. Well, he had never seen anything like this before.

After wiping out the monsters, Zhang Yang and the others switched their priority back onto the boss and continued to launch their attacks.

"Ooh!" The Ghostface Monkey King roared out loud furiously. Those Ghostface Monkeys were probably its sons and daughters. Seeing them being wiped out right in front of its eyes, the boss was so infuriated that it activated {Ground Hammer} straight away. The impact of the Skill did quite a number on everyone.

For most of the parties in the current stage of the game, {Ground Hammer} was definitely a fatal threat to them. A normal player with a full set of Level 140 Mythical Tier equipment would only have a Maximum HP of 180,000, give or take. Even on a mount, they would only have 250,000 HP at the most. Meanwhile, normal Healers would not have the capability to heal as much as 300,000 HP over 30 seconds. The normal players would have died upon receiving the third {Ground Hammer}.

However, Zhang Yang had two top Tier Healers, Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart. Furthermore, Female Raid Covent was deadly serious in combat, even though he was a little bad mannered. His performance in battle had revealed his literacy and awareness towards his surroundings. If he does not speak without his brain, Zhang Yang might have considered recruiting him into Lone Desert Smoke.

{Summon}, {Ground Hammer}! Holding on against waves of attacks from the boss, the party began to get comfortable and familiar with the attack pattern of the boss. The situation was no longer intense as before.

When players were battling against a boss in a dungeon, they had to make sure that they were always on point. They must know when to hit, when to retreat, and where to retreat to. Their movements in the battle would be strictly limited as well because of all that. Even if they manage to reduce 90% HP of the boss, they would get wiped out instantly if any one of them get careless or act recklessly.

However, a battle against an Open World boss would be very different from battling against a dungeon boss. There were not many tactics involved in a battle like that. In other words -- numbers! Therefore, judging by the complexity of a boss's Skills, an Open World boss is not as powerful as a dungeon boss. Even if someone on the party screws up, it would only cost the individual player's life. That player's mistake would not drag the entire party down with him or her.

Players who die in such a large scale battle could be replaced by other players, against an Open World boss. If one player's death could cause the entire party to be wiped out, then it would become impossible for players to take down an Open World boss. That is just how the game developers have designed the game to be.

"You two seem to get the hang of it! You're both skilled and powerful! Why don't you guys join a guild?" Fatty Han asked out of his own curiosity.

Ten Dusk did not say a word as usual while Female Raid Covent answered straight away, "Both of us have work in real life. We only have a little time to jump in the game. Well, in a few more months, we're getting sent out. So, you get the idea. That means we will only be able to play this game while we're sleeping."

Sent out? That should be a term used by officials of the government department. Sent out could mean they are going to be sent over to certain states across the country to be local officials! Usually, people who get 'sent out' would mean that they have quit their jobs. If they quit their jobs, they would have more time to play. Now that they were saying that they would become even busier … could they be working for the government as government servants then?

Looking at that goofy face of Female Raid Covent, everyone sighed. If this fellow is really going to become a local official of a state, there would be no telling what kind of trouble he would get himself into.

"Oi! What kind of faces are you showing me now!" Female Raid Covent shouted in a strange voice as he was preparing to launch his {Holy Light}. The sacred scene did not suit his personality at all.

"Oh, right! My man, have you gotten the tickets I told you to get?" He suddenly tapped his forehead and asked Ten Dusk.

"Got them already. No worries." Ten Dusk answered coldly.

"Haha! This time, I'm going to confess to my goddess Luo Xin Ran. With my handsome look and my elegant way of speaking, she will definitely fall for me the moment she lays her eyes on me!" Female Raid Covent laughed like a pervert.

"Elegant way of speaking? That's more like an elegant way of spitting! Pui!" Endless Starlight was basically the same as Female Raid Covent was. His mouth was foul as f*ck as well! He immediately cracked a joke at Female Raid Covent.

"Luo Xin Ran? That Super Star celebrity Luo Xin Ran?" Fantasy Sweetheart stared at him with her eyes wide. She spoke softly, "Female, female something something, don't you think you're setting your standards a little too high?"

She was being courteous by not telling him in the face that he was being 'a toad lusting after a swan's flesh'.

"Who's Luo Xin Ran?" Wei Yan Er rubbed her nose a bit and asked. She seemed puzzled.

"Argh! Yan Er, have you not heard or seen Luo Xin Ran before?" Fantasy Sweetheart had been following the celeb gossip. So she revealed a face that suggested 'how could you not know about my idol?'

Wei Yan Er was being honest. She just shook her head.

"Luo Xin Ran is a singer who got famous about 4 or 5 years ago. When I was still studying in my university, my roommate was very obsessed with her. He even had posters of her stuck on his bed and his side of the walls." Zhang Yang said.

"Now, the entertainment industry is moving towards the direction of gaming. So, be it filming a movie, a series or making a music album, the entertainment industry tend to select the environment in a game as their background sceneries more often now. Luo Xi Ran is currently doing her final tour for her concert. She will be hitting the game market soon after that!" Female Raid Covent continued to explain like a professional.

Since the first movie 'The Heart of the Knight' that used the background sceneries in 'God's Miracle' had been a success about a year ago, more and more movie companies were trying to get their shots in the game as well. The main reason was due to the fact that they could save a lot of energy and minimize environmental risks if they just take the background and sceneries from the game. Furthermore, the visual effects and special effects were much better than what they could do in real life. They could also perform a series of life-threatening stunts without having to worry at all. Everything in the game was virtual, after all. Other than that, celebrities no longer needed high-cost cosmetics to make them look good. They could just use the interface of the game to design whatever outlook they wanted. Therefore, the traditional film industry took a fatal blow to their gut. If they do not wish to move their *sses towards 'God's Miracle', the super high cost of making a film would be the very reason their companies would go bankrupt!

Those traditional celebrities were also starting to join the fame. However, the appearance of a person could be adjusted according to one's free will. As long as you can design it, you can appear with that appearance in the game. Therefore, basically, everyone in the game looked handsome and pretty. Therefore, being a traditional celebrity was not an easy path. Time no longer favored them. Only the celebrities with true talent in acting and singing could continue to make a profit like kings and queens.

After all, this is a new era where anyone can potentially become a celebrity.

Zhang Yang suddenly remembered. His company happened to have signed a contract with Luo Xin Ran. One of her concert tours would be staged in Zhou Shu. However, Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu Wei Yan Er and the rest of the ladies that he lived with were not into celebrities. So they did not remember much about it. Now that someone had mentioned it, they remembered.

The battle went on for an hour without everyone noticing. Because the boss only uses its {Ground Hammer} and {Summon} repeatedly, the party could not deal the amount of damage that they theoretically spoke about earlier before the battle. However, they still managed to reduce the boss's HP bar down to 20% entering the stage of 'Killing Cleave'.

In an instant, everyone took out their [Amateur Power Potion] and gulp it down. Then, it was time to unleash their madness upon the boss. Everyone was slicing and dicing like there was no tomorrow.

The Ghostface Monkey King was beaten up so badly that it was screaming in its own ape language. The boss also increased the rate of activating its {Ground Hammer} to once in every 20 seconds!

Because of that, the Healers were forced to carry a massive burden. However, that was not the limit of the boss yet! When the boss's HP bar drops down to 10%, the rate of the boss activating its {Ground Hammer} would become even faster than before. When that happens, the three Healers would have to puke their guts out if they want to keep up with the boss.

The {Glare of the Death God} had finally cooled down. However, Zhang Yang did not use it immediately. He wanted to wait until the boss's HP bar reaches 10%. The reason was simple. If the Skill could work, they would be able to kill the boss faster in its most dangerous state!

15%, 12%, 10%!

Throwing out {Glare of the Death God}!

Phew! A dark skull appeared right on top of the boss!

The Skill was not resisted! Wicked sick!

Because they had the advantage in numbers, Zhang Yang did not have to activate his {Shadow Clone}. With their current rate of attacks landing on the boss, it would be enough for them to fully trigger the special effect of the {Glare of the Death God} over 10 times.

"What the f*ck! What kind of Skill is this!?" Female Raid Covent screamed like a little girl after he saw the series of damage values popping up on top of the boss. He was so shocked that he could not even close his jaws! Each damage value was not merely tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. They were tens of millions instead!

Under that kind of bombardment, it did not take long at all before the boss let out a miserable roar and died. Its gigantic body collapsed down onto the body of Endless Starlight, pressing him down, as if the boss was forcing itself onto him! The gayness of that scene was imprinted into the back of everyone's skulls!

Chapter 717: High Tier Territory

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The loot that the boss dropped were quite satisfying. There were two Holy Tier equipment and four Ethereal Tier equipment. All of them were Level 170 equipment. Meanwhile, there was also one Skill Book and one Skill Point Crystal.

Because they had two outsiders this time round, Zhang Yang could not give the Skill Point Crystal to his party members based on their turns anymore. At first, Zhang Yang tried to get the Skill Point Crystal by offering equipment, gold pieces or some high Tier potions to the two of them. However, they seemed to know how valuable that Skill Point Crystal was. They did not intend to give it to Zhang Yang at all.

Hence, Zhang Yang let them have it, and he picked the Skill Book instead.

-- for Zhang Yang's party, they could still get plenty of Skill Point Crystals by challenging new bosses in the future. However, if the Skill Book contains some powerful Skill, then it could become far more valuable than just one Skill Point Crystal. So, Zhang Yang decided to take his chance on that.

The Skill Book was named 'Superior Force Strike'. The Skill could only be obtained by Warrior Class players. Because Wei Yan Er had never liked this Skill in the first place, she directly passed the Skill Book to Zhang Yang without showing any interest in it.

However, when Zhang Yang posted the description for the Skill, the little brat began to cry like a little bitch. She even cried and choked Zhang Yang, asking him to spit the Skill Book out and return it back to her. See? That's what we literally call a little b*tch!

[Superior Force Strike: Improves the rate of triggering the next additional attack after you have used your {Force Strike} 2 times every time you upgrade your {Force Strike} by 1 level. Furthermore, the additional attack will be a Critical Hit.

Initially, this {Force Strike} was a rather lackluster Skill. At its level 1, this Skill could perform a powerful strike on the target immediately, dealing 100% of melee damage with a 5% chance to trigger an additional attack. With each level upgrade, the rate of triggering the additional attack would increase by additional 5%.

Upon adding that up, even if the Skill reaches Level 10, there would only be a total 50% chance to trigger the additional attack. In other words, the Skill could only deal 150% additional attack to the target. Compared to the other Skills that could deal an additional 200%, 250% or even 300% melee attack, this {Force Strike} did not seem to be powerful at all.

Furthermore, no Warrior would add their precious Skill Points on {Force Strike}. It would be like having a donkey kicking your brain!

However, the outcome becomes different if a player gets this {Superior Force Strike}. Upon getting the Skill up to Level 10, the player would have over 100% chance of triggering an additional attack. More importantly, the additional attack was guaranteed to be a Critical Hit! Based on that laone, the player could achieve additional an 300% attack of the Skill's initial attack. The damage dealt would be instantly amplified!

Of course, the player would have to make sure that the Skill is fully upgraded. In other words, 9 Skill Points would be spent in order to do so. Or else, having only a 10% rate to trigger the additional attack would be pathetic.

Getting so many Skill Points would be a difficult thing for other players to do. However, Zhang Yang did not find it hard at all. All he needs to do is to kill a few more bosses and get a few more 'First Clear' of dungeons. By then, he should be able to collect enough Skill Points for that purpose.

"Wu wu wu… Stinky noob tank! Give me back my Skill Book!" Wei Yan Er filled her cheeks with tears as she clung on to Zhang Yang's back. Meanwhile, she was also weighing her battle axe in her hands, as if she was considering whether to use it or to use another powerful weapon to attack Zhang Yang.

Female Raid Covent felt an itch in his heart. He immediately spoke, "Little loli! Let go of that animal and come cling on me!"

"Little brat, time to look at the equipment. I can give you the equipment if they are Heavy Armor type." Zhang Yang patted the little brat's head. Finally, the little brat stopped mourning. She lifted her butt and went over to the loots. Because Zhang Yang had made a promise to Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent earlier on, he had Hundred Shots bring two Level 140 Ethereal Tier equipment from the warehouse along. Then, he traded 2 Ethereal Tier equipment for 1 Holy Tier equipment agreed on. By the end of it, Zhang Yang had succeeded in getting the two Holy Tier equipment into his possession.

Meanwhile, Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent were content with the deal as well. After all, having two Ethereal Tier equipment currently could give them more benefits than having only one Holy Tier equipment. It was a win-win situation for both sides. As for the remaining Level 170 Ethereal Tier equipment, Zhang Yang did not care too much about them. He took two of them and left the other 2 to Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent.

Upon settling the deal, Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent did not leave immediately. They stayed to look the attributes of the two Holy Tier equipment that they had given to Zhang Yang. Well, they did work their *sses off, taking down the boss. They wanted to see what kind of equipment the boss had dropped upon its death.

Wei Yan Er picked up a small and thin necklace made out of small white bones with her left hand while picking up another leather jacket with spots and stripes all around it in her right. Then she asked, "So which one do we look at first?"

"Necklace!"

"Clothes!"

"I want to see little Yan Er's pretty face!"

Female Raid Covent was instantly beaten up by everyone around him. After that, he went aside, squatted down and began to draw circles with his finger again, squinting through his banged-up face.

Wei Yan Er smiled and used the [Identifying Scrolls] that Zhang Yang had given her to identify the two equipment. Then she posted the attribute of the necklace, first.

[Holy Bone Necklace] (Holy, Necklace)

Vitality: 3,967

Strength: 979

Agility: 919

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 7,930 points.

Equip: Increases both Damage and healing Efficiency by 10%.

Equip: Absorbs 848 damage when being hit.

Equip: When being hit, there is a certain chance that the 'Holy Bone Defence' will be triggered. Reflects 20% damage received back at the attacker.

Required Level: 170

Special: Reduces Required Level by 20 levels.

This equipment was suitable to all Classes. Everyone was cracking their knuckles. They were eager to snatch the piece for themselves. Without wasting any more precious time, they rolled to see who could claim it. By the end of it, Wei Yan Er rolled out with a 94 points and claimed the prize.

"Hmm… my power to Curse has improved a lot!" The little brat nodded and she quickly put the necklace on. Although the appearance of a necklace that is made of bones was a little disturbing to look at, this little brat had a totally different taste. She found it nice to look at.

The powerful attributes of the necklace had left Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent speechless. They had not even tasted the sensation of having an Ethereal Tier equipment yet. It was natural for them to be astounded by the attributes of a Holy Tier equipment.

Wei Yan Er then posted the attributes of that leather jacket as well.

[Shadow Killer Rhodine's Jacket] (Holy, Leather Armor)

Defense: 384

Vitality: 15,870

Strength: 1,652

Agility: 3,915

{Level 6 Socket 1}

{Level 6 Socket 2}

Equip: Increases Maximum HP by 31,740 points.

Equip: Increases both Damage and Healing Efficiency by 10%.

Equip: Absorbs 1,697 damage when being hit.

Equip: Shortens the cooldown for your {Vanish} down by 30 seconds.

Required Level: 170

Special: Reduces Required Level by 20 levels.

Leather Armor are best suited for Thieves and Hunters. However, because this equipment had the special attribute that could improve the efficiency of {Vanish}, it became obvious that this equipment would best suit Thieves.

After Sun Xin Yu and Lost Dream rolled, the leather jacket was claimed by Sun Xin Yu. That leather jacket had really boosted her attributes a lot. Especially her HP amount, it was basically double the HP amount she had when she was wearing an Ethereal Tier equipment, which only provided her about 7,000 additional HP.

After they were done with the loots, everyone went back to what they were doing. Female Raid Covent was still trying to follow Wei Yan Er around. However, he was dragged away by Ten Dusk and the two of them left.

Zhang Yang and Han Ying Xure continued on to search for cooking ingredients. A few hours later, Han Ying Xue had finally gathered enough [Chicken Meat]. However, she continued to bug Zhang Yang in order to accompany her while she cooks. After that, she had made quite a number of tasty spicy [Diced-Chicken Burgers].

The good thing about player-made [Snacks] is that they provide an additional boost. For instance, Zhang Yang could acquire a 400 Strength attribute by ingesting a snack made by a player. Well, having an increase of 200 damage in his DPS would be very useful for him.

Zhang Yang went back to his Little Merchandize Shop. Currently, he managed to gather a large number of [Crimson Blazing Essence]. However, it was still far away from being enough. Unfortunately, most of the players would just throw them away even after they get it from slaying monsters and bosses. They were just a burden for them because they had absolutely no use for them. After all, a player's inventory slots were limited.

Unless Zhang Yang largely increased the price of each [Crimson Blazing Essence] that he was willing to pay, or else the situation would stay the same. 200 [Crimson Blazing Essences] for 8 gold pieces? Most of the players would not want to go through so much trouble just to earn such a small amount of gold. The time that they could use to collect 200 [Crimson Blazing Essences] would allow them to collect more Herbs and Mines. They could have collected double, or even triple the amount of herbs and mines in the same amount of time. Furthermore, they could earn an amount of gold that would be ten times higher the amount of gold they could get with 200 [Crimson Blazing Essences].

However, the question was still the same. Once Zhang Yang increases the price that he is willing to pay for the [Crimson Blazing Essences, many crooked sellers would sense it. They would be able to realize the true value of these [Crimson Blazing Essences]. Then, they would take advantage of the situation and start buying them as well. It would be pretty annoying to compete with these crooked f*ckers.

Well, looking from a long-term perspective, when the second and the third recipe for making [Amateur's Power Potions] appear, the value of these [Crimson Blazing Essences] would increase tremendously. So, let the price be raised, then! Since the cost of buying these [Crimson Blazing Essences] would not be higher than the amount of profit he makes from selling the [Amateur's Power Potions, he could afford to raise it.

Zhang Yang increased the price he was willing to pay for every 200 [Crimson Blazing Essences] to 10 gold pieces. Many players were motivated to gather the [Crimson Blazing Essences] now. However, other crooked sellers had sensed it as well. Some of them even tried to compete with Zhang Yang by saying that they would buy 200 [Crimson Blazing Essences] with 11 gold pieces! They were trying to mark the value of these [Crimson Blazing Essences] higher because it seemed to be a perfect time to do so.

However, Zhang Yang was not moved by their actions at all. Even if they were shouting out to the market saying they would pay 11 gold pieces or even 20 gold pieces for 200 [Crimson Blazing Essences, the price that Zhang Yang was willing to pay was still fixed at 10 gold pieces per set. Zhang Yang knew better than anyone, he was the only one who could make [Amateur's Power Potions] in the current stage of the game. Those crooked sellers would be just wasting their efforts, trying to spend more of their fortune over something that they could not use.

Of course, if they are patient enough to wait until the second and the third recipes for [Amateur's Power Potion] appear, then the value of [Crimson Blazing Essences] would increase even further. By then, they might get richer by selling them out.

2 days later, Zhang Yang had bought a substantial amount of [Crimson Blazing Essences]. However, a large number of [Crimson Blazing Essences] were sold to the other crooked sellers. Well, Zhang Yang was the only one who could 'process' these things. Those crooked sellers were just trying to buy as much [Crimson Blazing Essences] in hopes that they would earn something out of it in the future. However, when they were beginning to run out of capital and all that, they would be forced to sell those [Crimson Blazing Essences] to the Little Merchandize Shop. Only a few of them could really hang on until the very end.

After all, profit that can be touched and used is the thing that mattered the most for most of the crooked sellers. Only a few of them fools would actually want to try out some long-term investment.

Zhang Yang took out every single [Crimson Blazing Essence] that he got from his Little Merchandize Shop and began his 'mission' to make them all into [Amateur's Power Potions]. However, when he was almost halfway making all of the ingredients he had into the [Amateur's Power Potions, he received a public notice announced by the system.

'Server Announcement: A new Territory has been spawned in The Plagued Land. The Territory Conquest will start officially at 7 p.m tomorrow. The location of the Territory will be announced 30 minutes before the Territory Conquest takes place.'

The second High Tier Territory had revealed itself! The only thing that remained a question was, which Region would be the one who claim this Territory to themselves then?

"Little Yang, are we going to join in?" Fatty Han immediately contacted Zhang Yang through their own chat.

"Of course we are! We're going to kill some players!" Wei Yan Er was excited about it.

Zhang Yang was a little conflicted. From the perspective of business, having one or two of these high Tier Territories would only give a player the same benefit. The player would not be getting more profit for getting two high Tier Territories. Zhang Yang was the only one who had claimed a high Tier Territory in the entire China Region. So everyone from China Region would have to use the Teleportation Circle in his new high Tier Territory.

Therefore, if he takes another Territory now, not only would he not be increasing the number of his 'customers', he would also need to pay a substantial amount of money to maintain the second high Tier Territory he gets. That would include the Teleportation Circle of the new Territory. That would be a disastrous loss of money for him to bear.

-- Of course, if the second high Tier Territory is claimed by another guild from China Region, then they would be affecting Zhang Yang's current business.

Chapter 718: Forrest Gump's Fortress

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

There were only a total of 4 high Tier Territories in the entire server. If Zhang Yang decides to take another one for himself, then the other Regions would definitely get offended. They would start stirring up trouble and messing things up for him. Zhang Yang would not be worried if only one Region does that. However, getting challenged by 2, or 3 Regions and having them work together? That would be a disastrous situation for even him, wouldn't it?

From that point of perspective, Zhang Yang had no reason to join the Territory Conquest. Furthermore, if he ever gets himself killed in the Territory Conquest, he would lose a large amount of Experience Points. Well, what's even worse was that if either of him or Sun Xin Yu dies, they would even drop the pieces of [Book of Revelation] that they were currently carrying!

After giving it some thought, Zhang Yang made his decision and said, "Yes! Of course we're joining! However, we're not there to claim the Territory. We're joining with two main purposes! Number one, we'll stop those Japan-Korea Region from taking over the Territory! Number two, we'll look for the other chapters for the [Book of Revelation]!"

Those who have acquired a broken chapter of [Book of Revelation] would definitely want to collect the remaining broken chapters of it. So, how would they be able to do so then? The best way for them to get it was to join some public war event, such as a Territory Conquest! All they needed to do was to look out for any players who resurrect immediately after they die. Those players would either be holding a piece of [Resurrection Monolith] or holding a broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation]!

It could be risky, but it could be the greatest opportunity as well. So, why not take a bet and try their luck out there, then?

Fortunately for all of them, it would only take another 10 to 12 hours before all of their Inheritance Transformations Skills are ready again. After all, they did activate their Inheritance Transformation Skills about two days ago. When the clock strikes 7 p.m tomorrow, they would be ready to join the Territory Conquest at their full strength!

Because joining the battle of Territory Conquest would not bring them any direct benefit, Zhang Yang and his party were taking things super easy. They also did not send any of their guild members over to join the Territory Conquest. If they do, the Lone Desert Smoke would be suffering an unimaginable number of casualties. There was no reason to sacrifice their own guild members, because their main aim was not to claim the Territory.

On the next day, everyone had rested well enough. They gathered at a spot in The Plagued Land. Meanwhile, it had been quite a while since the last Territory Conquest happened at Souron's Castle. There were many more Level 130 players currently. Although The Plagued Land was designed to be inhibited by the undead and Spectres, there were more living beings moving around on that map now.

Many players could roughly guess the location of the Territory. Most players were gathering at the center point of the map. They were just waiting for the clock to strike 6:30 p.m, so that the system announcement would announce the exact location where the Territory Conquest would take place.

Zhang Yang and his gang were still taking things casually around, At 6:30 p.m, the system announcement informed everyone about the name and position of the location.

-- Forrest Gump's Fortress.

Compared to the Territory Gateways, a high Tier Territory was much larger. Looking from afar, the fortress was full of steel barricades that made the castle walls look thick and impenetrable! The castle walls were at least fifty or sixty meters tall. The black and dark appearance of the fortress looked like a foul beast that could crawl out of the walls and roar ragingly into the sky at anytime.

Zhang Yang and his party did not go in at all. When the Territory Conquest begins, everyone that is still standing within the area of the Territory Conquest would be teleported out of the vicinity. It was 7 p.m now. The server once again put another announcement to mark the beginning of the Territory Conquest.

'Server Annoucement: Currently, the Territory Order is being held by the player: Savage Lord! There will be a special marking on the player who is holding the Territory Order. The player will not be allowed to leave the area of the Territory Conquest!'

'Server Announcement: The Territory Conquest has begun! Commencing the Count Down!'

Savage Lord? Was this Territory unlocked by the India Region, then? So, how did the Territory Order end up on the hands of that single minded man instead of the hands of Hourglass Figure? The reason was simple. She was a Hunter after all. Even though she was holding a Class S Inheritance, she would not be half as tough as Savage Lord who was a Guardian.

In an instant, the players were gushing into the Forrest Gump's Fortress like a tidal wave. Judging by how packed they were squeezing together, there were at least a million of them!

That's right. Less than 30,000 players took part in the Territory Conquest over the Souron's Castle. Well, most of the mainstream players had reached up to Level 130 within just a month. It would not be a surprise at all to see more than a million players battling over a Territory.

Well, it was still early, though. If the players were given another half a month or one month, there would be more than tens of millions taking part in this battle!

After all, there were over 20,000,000,000 players from all around the world playing 'God's Miracle' as of today. Meanwhile, Level 130 was not that high of a level cap for the players to achieve. Look at Zhang Yang. He was about to break through the level cap of Level 160!

Han Ying Xue could not help but reveal a pale face. Then she said, "If there were so many of them when we were trying to claim Souron's Castle, we would not have made it, right?"

"Hmm… that's why having the Territory Order is not a good thing. Well, there is a saying… hmmm…. Yea, right! When the eel and the clam grapples, it is the fisherman who profits! It's hard to snatch the Territory order in the crowd and stay safe, as well." Zhang Yang looked at the arrow-indicator that beamed down, deep in the middle of the fortress. That arrow-indicator was the indicator that clearly showed the location of the player who was holding the Territory Order. There was nowhere for the person to hide at all!

Zhang Yang and his gang did not set foot into the Territory at all. Judging from the crowd that was gushing into the fortress, even if a player holding a broken chapter of [Book of Revelation] is killed and the broken chapter of the book was dropped, there would be no way that Zhang Yang and his gang could sneak in and get the item without dying. Meanwhile, the broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] was 'bound upon pickup'. Whoever holding it would definitely drop it when the player is killed. As long as those players do not go back to their main cities, they would definitely drop the item at some point.

"However, that Savage Lord must have come up with some sort of plan before he is so bold to trigger a Territory Conquest. At least the players from India Region must have been persuaded to help him!" Lost Dream laughed and said.

"Little loli --" a passionate and yet irritating voice was heard across everyone's ear. Female Raid Covent and Ten Dusk appeared in front of everyone all of a sudden.

"You two again!?" Fantasy Sweetheart did not say it out loud. Ten Dusk was cool. However, everyone could not stand Female Raid Covent because of his mouth.

Instead, Endless Starlight and Fatty Han were welcoming Female Raid Covent with open arms. They even wrapped their arms around like brothers. Well, feathers of the same bird flock together after all.

"So, are you guys here to snatch the Territory Order?" Zhang Yang laughed.

"Hehe, my luck has been great throughout my entire life! Maybe, by the end of all this, I'll be the only one standing. When that happens, all I need to do is to bend down and pick up the Territory Order! Then the Territory will be mine!" Female Raid Covent spoke without any sense of shame.

Everyone laughed it off. Well, they were currently free. So they did have spare time to chat a while.

However, just when everyone was laughing, the sky suddenly darkened and the dark clouds were beginning to move irregularly fast. There were also flashing of flames and rumbling of thunders in the sky. Instantly, the entire place looked like a doomsday scenario!

"Oh no! This must be the effect of a [Forbidden Scroll]!" Zhang Yang cried. Then he calmly said, "Hundred Shots, Fatty Han, Fantasy, you three activate your Inheritance Transformation Skills right now and start healing! The rest of us, other than Witchy Snow, we take off our equipment!"

Zhang Yang immediately summoned his Phoenix pet as well and commanded the Phoenix pet to activate its Transformation Skill. Instantly, Zhang Yang boosted his Maximum HP up to a total of 20,000,000 HP! That buffed him up good enough to survive a direct hit of 3,000,000 damage from the [Forbidden Scroll]! He asked Hundred Shots and Fatty Han to activate their Inheritance Transformation Skills because both of them still had their Phoenix pet and Red Dragon. Hundred Shots and Fatty Han could still command their pets to activate their Transformation Skills after that. They would have Transformation Skill-level power for over 3 hours!

Meanwhile, Fantasy Sweetheart and Han Ying Xue must not activate their Inheritance Transformation Skills at the same time. In other words, Han Ying Xue should only activate hers after Fantasy Sweetheart's Inheritance Transformation is over. They had to keep a Healing Inheritance Transformation Skill activated throughout the entire battle. Therefore, Zhang Yang made a crucial decision.

Why did he asked everyone else to take off their equipment? That was because the [Forbidden Scroll] deals damage by percentages. Although the effect of the scroll had a limit of dealing a maximum of 100,000 damage, it did not set a minimum damage to the targets. Even if a player only has 10 HP left, the Forbidden Scroll could only deal 1 Damage per second to that player.

Meanwhile, if a player's HP is low, it would be easier for that player to be healed. Of course, Healers could never take off their equipment. Without a high amount of MP in hand, they would not be able to heal up their party members even if their party members have a low HP amount.

Everyone had been through a lot together. So they were working together in perfect sync. They did what Zhang Yang asked them to without any hesitation. Now, Zhang Yang, Hundred Shots, Fatty Han and Fantasy Sweetheart would be able to survive a solid hit from the [Forbidden Scroll]. They would only have to make sure the other six members of the party are healed properly, so that they could survive as well.

-- as for Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent, they were totally ignored by Zhang Yang and his party members! Now that they barely made it out alive themselves, how would they have time to save others?

Boom!

The entire sky was scorched in a sea of flames. Countless meteors rained down from the sky. The entire scenario looked like a high budget Doomsday movie. It was definitely a spectacular scene to behold! Whether or not if the players are struck by the meteors, everyone was losing 10% HP in each passing second. Meanwhile, those who had more than 1,000,000 HP were losing 10,000 HP in each second. The damage dealt on them was not being reduced or weakened by any Skills or effects!

Fantasy Sweetheart and Han Ying Xue were busting their *sses trying to heal. Meanwhile, the others had taken off their equipment and were on standby mode to gulp down their potions. However, the moment when the [Forbidden Scroll] was triggered, everyone entered combat mode. When everyone is in combat mode, it became much more complicated for them to take off their equipment. It would take about 10 seconds to take off each piece of their equipment!

However, it could make a huge difference if they could just take one of their equipment off before the [Forbidden Scroll] begins to rain hell upon them. One equipment would really make a large difference especially when their equipment are very high Tiered! Taking one equipment off could reduce tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands HP off their total Maximum HP. In other words, it could literally mean that they could reduce the DPS that the Forbidden Scroll could deal on them by thousands or even tens of thousands of damage points!

The bombardment of meteors continued on for over 30 seconds. After the meteors were done showering, the entire fortress was left devastated! The initially fortified walls were broken down into pieces of rubbles. The entire place no longer looked grand and magnificent. Meanwhile, the players from all Regions were suffering heavy casualties. At least 90% of them were killed by that wave of attack from the [Forbidden Scroll].

Most importantly, among the 10% of the survivors, 90% of them had activated their Inheritance Transformation Skills!

Truth be told, the Territory Conquest would last for 3 hours long. Those who already activated their Inheritance Transformation Skills would not last until the end of the battle. Unless, they take out all of their competitors while their Inheritance Transformations are still in effect. Without the support of their Inheritance Transformations, they would most likely lose.

After all, not everyone could perform as outstandingly as Zhang Yang who could take out a player who has activated a Class C Inheritance Transformation without activating his own Inheritance Transformation! Well, that was only limited to the circumstance where the player only activates a Class C Inheritance Transformation. Even Zhang Yang would be forced to kneel if he had to battle a player who activates a Class B Inheritance Transformation without his Inheritance Transformation.

"I wonder, who is the bastard who activated the [Forbidden Scroll]!" Daffodil Daydream said out of her curiosity. Well, Zhang Yang made the right decisions and gave the right command to his party members. Furthermore, there were two very powerful Healers supporting everyone in their full strength. So, no one on the party was killed.

"Outstanding! Cunning but admirable!" Zhang Yang nodded and praised, "The player who used the Forbidden Scroll knew! If he or she ever used the Forbidden Scroll at such an early stage of the battle, that player could force most of the players here to activate their Inheritance Transformation! Meanwhile, using the Forbidden Scroll could filter and eliminate most of the lower level players to reduce the burden everyone has to bear on the battlefield when there are too many players! Meanwhile, two hours later, the Inheritance Transformations would all be over by then. From there, many more players will be eliminated because they no longer are powerful enough to hold on until the end. By then, if Savage Lord or any of his party members activates another [Forbidden Scroll, it would be perfect for them! They would definitely be able to secure their victory over this Territory Conquest!"

"Why can't we get more of those [Forbidden Scrolls] already?" Endless Starlight ranted.

"Well, there are already two [Forbidden Scrolls] under our possession for now. That's already a good achievement, you know?" Zhang Yang shook his head. Then he said, "Well, looks like this is a good time for us to head down there to check on the battlefield. So many have died. We might be able to get something real nice among their dead bodies!"

When players are killed in action in the game, they would drop 20% of their items. Well, look at the number of players who got killed during the meteor rain! When Zhang Yang and his gang looked upon the battlefield, all they saw were countless glowing things glittering all over the place. What's more were all sorts of potions lying quietly on the ground waiting for someone to pick them up. There were also quite a number of survivors picking things up from the ground. They did not even bother to attack the others around them at all.

However, players who got wiped out by the wave attacks from the [Forbidden Scroll] were not that strong themselves. The items and equipment they dropped were not as good as everyone expected them to be.

Chapter 719: A Second Forbidden Magic

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

More surprisingly, Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent were both still alive!

Ten Dusk survived, because he had followed Zhang Yang's instructions and took off a few pieces of his best equipment. That included his shield which added the most Vitality attribute onto him. Meanwhile, Female Raid Covent put up an outstanding performance on utilizing his healing capability. Even though he could be annoying at times, well, most of the times, but he managed to heal up himself and his best pal Ten Dusk as they were showered by the meteors!

Zhang Yang was very curious about it. Ten Dusk did had removed a few pieces of his best equipment on him to reduce his own Maximum HP so that he could reduce the pressure on his Healer partner. However, he seemed to still have over 200,000 HP on him after that. He would require a healing amount of 20,000 HP in each passing second in order to stay alive.

As Holy Knights could focus on healing one target better than a Priest could, a Priest with the same Tier equipment as Female Raid Covent might not be capable of healing 20,000 HP per second. On the other hand, a Holy Knight with the same Tier equipment as Female Raid Covent could definite heal that much per second. However, not only did Female Raid Covent need to heal himself, he also needed to make sure that he could heal his best pal Ten Dusk! How did he manage it, then?

Did he have a Holy Knight's capability to focus heal one target at a time, while also healing multiple targets like a Priest?

This is quite a broken character!

Zhang Yang continued to ask more questions. After a series of questioning, Female Raid Covent finally gave up on hiding his 'secrets'. He posted a link to one of his Skills.

[Holy Blessing: Blesses a target with holy blessing. When you are healing any other target in your party, the Holy Blessing will also heal the target you marked earlier with the same amount of HP that you can heal on your other target. The effect will last for 1 minute. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

So that was it!

So, all Female Raid Covent needed to do was to cast a {Holy Blessing} on Ten Dusk before he focuses on healing himself up. One healing Skill healing two targets at the same time? That was just awesome!

This Skill was a perfect addition to a Holy Knight's Skill List! It could really make up for the disadvantage of a Holy Knight of not being able to heal many targets efficiently at the same time! However, the 30-minute cooldown was a real bummer. It defined the Skill as a life-saving Skill. Well, if this Skill is learned by a Priest, there would not be much of an improvement for the Priest in any way. Well, Priests were designed to be very powerful at healing multiple targets in the first place. Furthermore, their healing capability on a single target was not that bad as well.

Zhang Yang extended his sights further out on the battlefield. All he saw was that the battle was beginning to reach its climax. Many players began to hop onto their Flying Mounts and charged towards the fortress. They were headed towards the direction of that gigantic virtual arrow indicator! In a Territory Conquest, nothing mattered at all. The only thing that mattered was to snatch the Territory Order. That would be the only thing that kept the players from leaving the battlefield there and then.

"Darling --" A cheerful voice rang out at them. It was Dusk Phoenix! She was riding on a snow-white eagle, flying towards Zhang Yang from afar. After landing on the ground, she hopped down and tried to throw herself into Zhang Yang's arms.

Female Raid Covent widened his eyes and muttered to himself, "What a pretty little lady!"

"Humph!" Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue shoved themselves between Zhang Yang and Dusk Phoenix. Both of them glared at her, expressing their seniority.

Dusk Phoenix quickly pulled over and stopped right in front of the two angry ladies. Then, she began to speak with them in a low voice. Only god would know what they were talking about.

At the same time, the Hell Family were arriving one after another. After seeing Dusk Phoenix getting so close with Zhang Yang and his two ladies, they could not help but to feel depressed and angry at the same instant. Every one of them were glancing at Zhang Yang with murderous intent. If a stare could kill, Zhang Yang would have died over a thousand times or maybe, a million times! His 'little brother' was in most danger. That part of him would have definitely been sliced into too many pieces to count!

However, who wouldn't know how to glance? Zhang Yang patted the little brat's shoulder. The little brat was playing nice with Zhang Yang this time. She shoved her hands on both sides of her waist and stared right back at the players of Hell Family like she was going to swallow them up whole! Well, that was her favorite 'game' anyway.

Sun Xin Yu, Han Ying Xue and Dusk Phoenix were talking among themselves. Zhang Yang had no idea what they were talking about at all. After talking on for quite some time, Dusk Phoenix turned towards Zhang Yang and said, "Darling, you have to help me! Help me get that Territory Order!"

"I'm not free!" Zhang Yang rejected her offer outrightly. His main purpose was to try out his luck at the opening stages of the battle to see if he could pick up the other broken chapters of the [Book of Revelation]. Previously, the Lone Desert Smoke had the advantage over the entire Territory Conquest. However, the guild still suffered some heavy casualties. There were only a few of them left by the end of the previous Territory Conquest. Zhang Yang would not want any of his guild members to die for no reason.

It was getting harder and harder to earn Experience Points, nowadays!

"Dar--ling--" Dusk Phoenix began to sidle up to his body. Her actions sent everyone from Hell Family bursting in tears. The only thing they had not done were to bang their heads against a wall.

"Silly Yu, since we're going to kill some players, let's help her!" Han Ying Xue pulled Zhang Yang's arm a little.

Sun Xin Yu did not say anything. She just nodded.

Fine! These two had become the Samaritans of the day now! Now he was the bad-mannered one! What bad luck! Zhang Yang sighed and nodded as well. However, he decided to kill every single one of the Hell Family players other than Dusk Phoenix. Well, his main purpose is to check to see if any of them could be carrying one of the broken chapters of [Book of Revelation].

-- even if they did not carry one with them, they should die as well! Who told them to stare at him like that? Furthermore, killing them would be a contribution to the China Region. It could also weaken one of the other Regions' strength. It could be deemed as a noble gesture to China Region!

The battle was getting intense. Players were battling against each other at every corner of the battlefield. However, those battles were completely unnecessary. Well, Zhang Yang saw a player from North America Region battling against a player from Africa Region. They had started battling each other simply because the player from North America Region was acting racist. He had actually called the guy from Africa Region 'Captain blackie'!

Zhang Yang and his gang were waiting out for the perfect moment. They were waiting patiently like fishermen. They took their sweet time, because there was no need for them to rush. The battle would go on for quite a while before things would start to settle down a little bit. Meanwhile, Dusk Phoenix was doing the same thing as well. She knew that there would not be a difference between obtaining the Territory Order 1 minute before the Territory Conquest ends, or getting the Territory Order right now. As long as she holds the Territory Order by the end of the Territory Conquest, she would be claim the Territory as her own. Furthermore, she would become the primary target of everyone the moment she gets her hands on the Territory Order. So, why put herself in so much danger when she could just sit back and let the others kill themselves first?

The intense battle went on. Countless players were killed, and they were sent back to their main cities. The pace of the battle began to slow down as time went on. 10 minutes into the battle, 40 minutes into the battle, 60 minutes into the battle!

Players would just activate their Inheritance Transformation 60 minutes into the battle. If they do so, their Inheritance Transformations would definitely last long enough until the Territory Conquest ends. Furthermore, the players could accumulate EP, even if they activate their Inheritance Transformation Skills a little earlier. After all, EP is the essential energy that players needed to activate their Inheritance Skills. Without enough EP, it would be pointless even if they had their Ultimate Skills ready.

Therefore, after battling for over 60 minutes, most of the players in the battlefield activated their Inheritance Transformation Skills. At first, Zhang Yang and his gang were just sitting at once corner, watching the battle quietly. However, they could no longer do that anymore as the heat of the battle had spread too far out. So they began to make their move.

"Noob tank, we should get into the battle now!"

"Cousin sis, let's go now! Kill them all!"

"Sister Sun, let's go out and play!"

Wei Yan Er could no longer sit quietly. She began to move and spin around, making noises like a little b*tch.

Female Raid Covent quickly came up trying to play along, "Cute little loli, come! I'll take you over to the battle now!"

Wei Yan Er quickly shook her head like there was no tomorrow. Then she said, "Cousin sis taught me before! You're the type of hamsap uncle that loves to trick little girls! You must be thinking of tricking me so that you can sell me away into the mountains! I'm so clever! How would I ever fall for that!"

"It's brother! Not uncle!" Female Raid Covent immediately tried to correct the little brat. He tried to tell her that he was still young.

However, Wei Yan Er backed off and hid behind Zhang Yang once again. Then she pointed her finger at that hamsap uncle and said, "Brother-in-law! Beat him up!"

Everyone could not help but to hold their laughs. With this little brat around, no one would get bored at all.

90 minutes into the battle! 120 minutes into the battle!

About 130 minutes into the battle, the sky started to get blotted out by storm clouds, and the entire area became dark all of a sudden. Wind began to whistle and the ground was instantly covered in frost and snow!

"What the f*ck! It's another [Forbidden Scroll]!" Lost Dream screamed like a little b*tch.

Countless frost spikes emerged from beneath the surface of the ground and caused immense damage to everyone in the surroundings! Under the catastrophic rumbling, the entire fortress started crumbling apart. It was already a fortress with broken walls. With this wave of snow and frost attacks, the fortress had totally lost its form. It no longer looked anything like a fortress!

"This should be all the money spent by Hourglass Figure, I assume!" Zhang Yang praised. "The first [Forbidden Scroll] was to forced most of the players to activate their Inheritance Transformation Skills. The second one was to ask everyone who had activated their Inheritance Transformation Skills earlier on to leave the battlefield immediately! Good thinking! Really! Unfortunately, they'll need more scrolls to do that!"

Everyone rolled their eyes at Zhang Yang. Was he trying to talk nonsense or was he trying to be sarcastic? If they really had 10 [Forbidden Scrolls] in their possession, would there still be a point of them trying their luck here? They could just spam their [Forbidden Scrolls] without any hesitation. Other than Zhang Yang who could boost his Maximum HP up to 40,000,000 HP by activating his Inheritance Transformation Skill, no one could have survived.

Meanwhile, if Hourglass Figure finds out about that, she would definitely be popping her veins so badly that she might just die of heart attack. Well, in her previous attempt, she had spent a fortune and a lot more effort just to get one [Forbidden Scroll]. This time, she actually managed to get two of them! So Zhang Yang was wondering, how much effort and money did she spend to get so many guilds in her Region to bring her these two [Forbidden Scroll] then?

After the second wave of 'Forbidden Magic Attack', players who survived the first wave of the attack by activating their Inheritance Transformation Skills were killed. The number of players on the battlefield had been largely reduced once again. There were not more than 3,000 players left!

Meanwhile, those who survived were basically the best among best, the elites among the elites!

Zhang Yang and his gang did not make their moves just yet. Meanwhile, Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart were healing everyone back up. Currently, everyone had activated their Inheritance Transformation Skills. That included Zhang Yang, of course. Now that each of them had lost at least 3,000,000 HP, even Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart had to take quite some time to heal back so much amount of HP. Furthermore, Fantasy Sweetheart's Inheritance Transformation had already expired.

Female Raid Covent and Ten Dusk had also activated their Inheritance Transformation Skills. One of them transformed into a void demon, while the other transformed into a creature full of spikes all over his body. He looked just like a hedgehog!

Void Walker Transformation! Steely Spike Transformation!

Unfortunately, those two were just Class B Inheritances! However, it must have been quite difficult for these two guildless players to get a Class B Inheritance for themselves. Well, a player with an Inheritance Transformation Skill would always be welcomed by any guild in the entire server. Not to mention, these two had Class B Inheritances which were extremely powerful as they were. Well, Class S Inheritances and Class A Inheritances were extremely rare after all.

Zhang Yang sent a private message to Fatty Han and said, "Fatty, try to get these two into our Sub-guild!"

Although there were still available slots in the main guild, Female Raid Covent was really unreliable at this point, even though his skills in battle were pretty dope. If they straight away put him into the main guild, he might scare many girls and ladies in the main guild away! He might even do something horrible to them, so to speak. Meanwhile, most of the players on the sub-guild were elder players. They should be able to tolerate his perverted attitude, just a little.

Fatty Han and Female Raid Covent were both flocking under the same roof. The two of them should share the same 'interest' after all. These two might have become best buddies in the Sub-guild, one day in the future. By then, there should be two powerful players with Class B Inheritances in the Sub-guild.

"Alright, it's about time we show the crowd some nightmares!" Zhang Yang and his gang were almost done with their healing. Their HP bars were back to their full states once again. Zhang Yang pulled out his [Sword of Purging Devourer] and raised it straight up into the sky.

"Oh yea! Finally we're going to kill someone!" Wei Yan Er cried out loud like a crazy b*tch. She was the first one to charge into the battle.

She was holding a Class A Inheritance. Upon activating her Inheritance Transformation, she could fly in the sky. Rolling across the sky like a shroud of dark black smoke, the little brat had flown straight into the fortress. Her huge battle axe was floating along with the dark black smoke. It looked oddly spooky in a sense. Unfortunately, the little brat could only equip her powerful hammer when she is Level 160.

Chapter 720: A Chaotic Battle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yang and his gang were putting up an excellent performance on the battlefield. They were like a hot knife cutting through butter. No one on the battlefield was able to stop them. They were basically being rolled over by a gigantic tank! They were screaming in misery begging for mercy while turning into white light and streaming back to their graveyards!

Because Fantasy Sweetheart's Inheritance Transformation had expired a little while ago, Zhang Yang had asked her to teleport back to the main city. If she ever gets killed in the battle, she would lose a lot of Experience Points. Most importantly, they were just there to kill players. They would not be surrounded by too many enemies at the same time. Han Ying Xue alone was more than enough to support the rest of the party.

Dusk Phoenix and her 'guards' had also followed Zhang Yang and his gang from behind. They took advantage of the situation and charged towards the direction of the Territory Order with ease.

It did not take long before they arrived at a tall building. This tall building looked very sturdy and strong. Although it had sustained over two waves of Forbidden Magic attack, the building was only half destroyed. It seemed that Savage Lord was using this towering building as his safe house to fend off attacks from his enemies.

However, those were just weak attempts from the other players. The parties that represented the top of the top had just entered the battlefield -- Lone Desert Smoke, Hell Family, Justice League, Crimson Rage and many more!

Well, those who survived this long had their Inheritance Transformation Skills activated. Furthermore, their Inheritance must be at least be Class B Inheritances. Those who held Class C Inheritances should have fallen by now.

"Zhan Yu! You've got your own Territory now. Why are you here trying to snatch it from us!" Hourglass Figure knew very well that she could not afford to battle against all these powerful parties. She had to see if there were other alternatives to resolve the situation. Well, one of the main reasons was because Zhang Yang and his party was the strongest party in the entire China Region!

Other than that, Zhang Yang and his party should be the easiest party that can be convinced to leave. The reason was simple. Zhang Yang already has Souron's Castle. It would make no sense at all if he tries to take another Territory for himself. Furthermore, it would be better that the second high Tier Territory does not fall into the hands of any other party from China Region. That way, only would Zhang Yang enjoy the profit all to himself.

Zhang Yang smiled vaguely and said, "We're here just to join in the fun! Don't mind us, my pretty Hourglass Figure!"

Hourglass Figure almost popped her veins after hearing what Zhang Yang had to say. Well, who would not mind about the existence if a super strong party standing in the middle of the battlefield? Joining in for fun? Was that an understatement or a joke?!

Although she already spent a large sum of money to use two [Forbidden Scrolls, those scrolls could really bring some catastrophic damage to the normal players alright. However, it would take more than just a few [Forbidden Scrolls] activated together at the same time to kill players who have already activated their Inheritance Transformation Skills. Even if she activates many [Forbidden Scrolls] at the same instant, those players might still survive!

For instance, Zhang Yang had boosted his Maximum HP up to over 20,000,000 Hp. Well… if Zhang Yang even activates his {Radiance of the God of War}, anyone would have to throw 26 [Forbidden Scrolls] at the same time to kill him! Or else, he could still survive like a cockroach! How insane was that!?

Hourglass Figure gave some thoughts about the situation and commanded Savage Lord, "Give me the Territory Order, now!"

Savage Lord did not dare to defy her, of course. He passed the Territory Order to Hourglass Figure and the large arrow indicator immediately switched onto her. At the same time, everyone received a system notification about it. Hourglass Figure was now the holder of the Territory Order.

Hourglass Figure smiled vaguely and took a closer look at the Territory Order. Then, she suddenly threw the Order out into the opening. The Territory Order landed on open ground.

"Miss --" Savage Lord and the others were begin to panic. Did she just throw away the Territory Order that they worked so hard to obtain in the first place? Not only had they busted their *sses to clear and unlock the Territory, the two [Forbidden Scrolls] that they used earlier on would have been for nothing now! They had almost spent every single dime in their guild account, after all!

However, Zhang Yang could not help but to praise her quietly. This b*tch was one cunning creature!

To hold the Territory Order now would be like holding a piece of gold while standing in the middle of a bunch of bandits and thieves. She would definitely be the primary target of everyone else! However, if she gives out the Territory Order now, she would lead the bandits and thieves into killing each other. When everyone is bleeding and wounded, she could just lead her party out and snatch the Territory Order back at the last possible minute of the Territory Conquest.

During the Territory Conquest on Souron's Castle, if the three [Forbidden Scrolls] had not made the situation much better for the China Region, Zhang Yang could have done the same thing as Hourlgass Figure just did. He would have made the same decision as well.

The black Territory Order was just lying on the ground quietly, there. The furthest player away from the Territory Order was just 40 meters away from it. Anyone who was on a mount or in their Class A or Class S Inheritance Transformation forms could have snatched the Territory Order from the ground within seconds.

However, no one dared to move a step now. Everyone knew, the first to move would be the first to go. Everyone would be aiming their 'guns' at that idiot! Who would survive the bombardment from so many players?

Well, maybe Zhang Yang or God's Left Hand could after all!

Both of them were holding Class S Inheritances, and the both of them were able to hold a shield in their hands. Therefore, their Defences should be incredibly tough. Upon activating their Inheritance Transformation, the two of them would acquire a 40-time increment to their Maximum HPs. However, Zhang Yang was well equipped with both Offence and Defence. Meanwhile, God's Left Han was well equipped with Defence and Healing-Type attributes. Therefore, he was a little tougher than Zhang Yang. However, his Attack power was a little underwhelming when compared to Zhang Yang's Attack power. Well, at least his Attack power was a little stronger than Endless Starlight's.

Whoever who goes forward would die a horrific death!

From that moment on, the surroundings became dead silent. No one dared to take the first step to move towards the Territory. Everyone was staring their eyes out. They were hoping that some idiot would charge in and break the silence of the battlefield.

Zhang Yang smiled vaguely. Suddenly, he made a move. However, he did not move towards the Territory Order. Instead, he charged straight at a party of 7 called the 'Undying Souls'. It was a party from the Japan-Korea Region. Anyone would know they were Japanese by looking at the names on top of their heads. Instantly, they became Zhang Yang's primary targets!

The 7 of them were terrified the moment they saw the 'monster' charging right at them. They could not even lift a finger -- what the f*ck is wrong with him? We did not even move for the Territory Order! Why are you charging at us? Did your brain just get flooded?

Other than them, the other parties were shocked as well. They had no clue at all as to why Zhang Yang would do that! However, it did not matter them at all. Just kill them! The more he kills, the better it would be for the other parties! As long as Zhang Yang does not attack them, nothing would matter at all!

The moment Zhang Yang acted, Han Ying Xue and the others followed without hesitation. Every one of them began to launch their attacks at the 7 players from the Japan-Korea Region, like throwing a wave of tsunami at them.

Judging from the looks of it, the seven players had quite unique and powerful equipment on them. They were either holding Class B Inheritances or Class A Inheritances. Or else, they would have been long dead by now. However, now that they had encountered a super powerful party containing three players with Class S Inheritances leading the front, they were forced to accept the fate that they were all going to be tortured badly to their deaths.

6... 4... 2... 0!

About 3 to 4 minutes later, the seven Japanese players were killed. However, only two of them dropped their equipment. Wei Yan Er picked them up immediately right after that.

-- there were no signs of any broken chapters of the [Book of Revelation] or [Resurrection Monolith].

Zhang Yang waved his [Sword of Purging Devourer] that was dripping blood around as he gazed at the other parties around him.

Everyone single one of them felt a chill up their spines when their eyes met Zhang Yang's. They could not help but lower their heads. They were comforting themselves, saying that they were not scared of him. They just did not want to battle that insane maniac, because others would take advantage of them if both sides are heavily wounded.

However, it was really a sight to behold! Zhang Yang could spread fear into the hearts of everyone just by looking at them.

"My next target should be you!" Zhang Yang raised up his sword and pointed it at Longrich, Scholar Musou and their gang.

"Why us?" Ink Wave screamed like a little b*tch.

Zhang Yang shrugged and said, "I just can't stand the sight of you!"

He fluttered his radiating wings and flew straight towards Eternal Flame's party of six. Swinging his blade straight at them, Zhang Yang looked like a dragon flying in the sky.

Longrich and the others quickly struck back at them. They felt so insulted in front of everyone! What the f*ck! They did not even get their hands on the Territory Order yet! Why would he target them at all? This Zhang Yang came all the way to a Territory Conquest to kill people just because he could not stand the sight of seeing them? He did not even intend to get the Territory Order in the middle of a Territory Conquest! That was just unacceptably outrageous!

Even though Longrich and his gang were quite skillful, they were completely worthless before Zhang Yang and his powerful party. It did not take long before they were all killed and sent back to their main city.

Right after that, finally, a party could no longer resist the temptation of the Territory Order lying, there waiting for them to grab. They charged in and snatched the Territory Order from the ground. There it went, the triggering of a chaotic battle!

"Kill them!" Wei Yan Er lost herself to her own excitement now. After killing Scholar Musou and the others, she had not have enough yet. So, she charged towards Captain America and the other members of the Justice League and launched her attacks at them.

Captain America and his gang had really came across an unexpected calamity now! As they battled against the Africa Region party, they had not expected this little brat to charge in and interrupt them like a hurricane. They could still survive if Wei Yan Er was the only one cutting in. Unfortunately, she was leading Zhang Yang and his entirely insanely powerful party members towards them as well!

Well, there was no way that Zhang Yang and the gang would let the little brat charge into battle without any backup. So, every single one of them followed her closely and charged at Captain America and the Justice League.

"Heart of Destruction, we'll help you get the Territory Order. First, help us take out Zhan Yu and his gang!" Captain America made a crucial decision. If they have to battle against the strongest party from Lone Desert Smoke, they would definitely go down in no time. Furthermore, they were currently battling against the other party from Africa Region at the same time! They would never survive that!

"Haha! I'll hold your words to it!"

Instantly, a blonde man wearing a purplish robe began to wave the staff in his hand. A frost dragon appeared and charged at Zhang Yang and his gang.

Heart of Destruction, Level 152, Cryromancer, Male Human, {Dark Palace}!

So he is the one Spellcaster with the Spellcaster's Class S Inheritance!

"Let me handle him!" Sun Xin Yu cut in and said. She slid herself over to Heart of Destruction's rear in one split second. The two players with Class S Inheritance clashed head-on. One of them must fall, that is the only way the battle could end.

Zhang Yang wrenched his focus back on Captain America. Although he was eager to try out his skills with Heart of Destruction, Sun Xin Yu had demanded that she would be the one who takes the enemy down. Well, she was Zhang Yang's wife after all. Zhang Yang had no choice but to let her have at it.

Zhang Yang diverted his attention over to Captain America.

"Zhan Yu! You're a lunatic!" Captain America was also feeling humiliated like how the players from Eternal Flame and Undying Souls felt. What the hell! He did not even have the Territory Order on him! Why is Zhang Yang aiming at him!?

"Haha! Unfortunately for you! You're destined to die by the hands of this lunatic!" Zhang Yang laughed like a madman and swung his [Sword of Purging Devourer] straight at Captain America.

"You bastard! Just wait till the end of this Territory Conquest! I'm going to command everyone from North America Region to launch a full-scale war against China Region!" Captain America was screaming in rage. To prevent being wiped out by Lone Desert Smoke, he was forced to work together with Heart of Destruction and withdraw himself from the competition of getting the Territory Order. Not only was it humiliating for him, it was also so infuriating that his rage was enough to burn the entire heaven to kingdom come!

"I'm just worried that you guys might not come by the end of it!" Zhang Yang activated his {God of War Devastation} and caused approximately 1,000,000 damage on Captain America, "And if you're daring enough to come, I will make sure you and your people get no opportunity to retreat!"

Even though Captain America had over 10,000,000 HP, but he was unable to withstand such a powerful damage from a single hit for too many times! However, he immediately returned Zhang Yang his medicine. He raised his right arm up and threw a spear straight at Zhang Yang!

'-702,783!'

That was not a {Spear of Obliteration}! That was an Inheritance Skill of the Titan Inheritance called {Titan's Grip}!

[Titan's Grip: Causes 250% Melee Attack of Chaos Damage to the target. If this Skill is activated when you're in your Titan Transformation, your Attack will increase by 10% for every 2 Titan EP you have on your EP bar. Can stack up to a total of 50%. Cooldown: 1 minute.

Chapter 721: Book of Revelation: Chapter 4

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

{Titan's Grip} was indeed powerful, but Zhang Yang's Defence was insanely powerful! Even though Chaos Damage could ignore Defence, the attributes of 'Damage Immunity' and 'Damage Absorption' could still reduce the damage dealt on Zhang Yang. The amount of damage that Zhang Yang received from Captain America had been reduced down to only approximately 700,000 damage.

Yes, the amount of damage dealt on Zhang Yang was not weak at all. However, if both of their amount of Maximum HP bars were compared side by side, Captain America would be the one losing out by a gap.

Furthermore, that amount of damage was not the highest damage that Zhang Yang could deal!

{Brutal Smash}!

Zhang Yang stunned Captain America and activated his {Charge Up Strike} straight away. With a swing that missed, he swung another stronger strike right into the face of Captain America.

Although Captain America already knew that Zhang Yang had such a Skill, he had already activated his Skills and Accessories a while back then to break himself free from Zhang Yang's {Blast Wave} and {Heroic Leap}. So he had to endure the 4-second Stun Effect and Zhang Yang's merciless strike right in his face!

'-2,942,073!'

Zhang Yang continued on with his {God of War Heavy Axe} and caused an immense damage on Captain America. It was an explosive damage that could be fatal to anyone during a PvP match!

"Bastard!" Captain America let out a long, raging roar. Then he began to whirl his heavy axe around and engaged in a fierce battle with Zhang Yang. Both of them had support from their own healers. However, {Destructive Smash} could cause a reduction of 75% on both of their Healing Efficiencies. Because of that, the Healers no longer be able to catch up with the pace of the battle.

Captain America was holding a [Titan's Ripple] in his hand. As long as he accumulates 8 EP, he could fully recover his HP bar. Therefore, he was not too worried about the situation he was currently in. Although {Destructive Smash} had reduced 75% of his Healing Efficiency, his {Warrior's Will} was about to be done with its cooldown. As long as he can use his {Warrior's Will} to remove all the negative effects on him, Captain America could immediately recover his HP back to its full state.

However, Zhang Yang was not the only one that Captain America had to face. Felice had also activated her Transformation Skill! Felice was ferocious and deadly enough when she was in her Dragonhawk form. Endless waves of {Fire Missiles} rained upon Captain America as the battle went on. Although there was a 30% chance of the attacks being resisted, her attacks when she goes berserk were astounding!

Fierce battles were happening at every corner of the battlefield. That black Territory Order was either kicked or smacked about by a swinging weapon. It was flying around across the battlefield without anyone being able to get a grip on it.

Captain America was on the brink of collapse. His HP bar had dropped below 20% after Zhang Yang and Felice had bombarded him like hell with their attacks. The situation was extremely dangerous for him. If Zhang Yang could just activate his {Indiscriminate} and goes on with another powerful attack, he might be instantly killed with one single hit from Zhang Yang!

Among Warriors, especially Berserkers, when their HP bars are below 20%, 99% of them would be as good as dead!

He quickly activated his {Warrior's Will} and cleared out every single negative effect on him. At the same time, he activated the special effect of his [Titan's Ripple]. A golden circle appeared and flashed across from his head to his toe. His HP bar was fully recovered all in an instant! He cried in rage and said, "Zhan Yu! Do not be mistaken and think that you can do whatever you like! Even if you can kill me, I'll still make you pay!"

"You're overestimating yourself a little too much! Don't you think?" Zhang Yang let out a battle cry. Then he steadily raised up his left hand and activated his {Glare of the Death God}.

Well, during a boss battle, this Skill had extremely high rate of being resisted by bosses. However, it was a different story in PvP! Every single activation of the Skill would become effective! A dark skull immediately formed right on top of Captain America's head.

"OH SHIT --!" Captain America quickly flapped his wings, trying to escape after he read the description of the {Glare of the Death God}. He struggled like that was no tomorrow, attempting to survive for the next 5 seconds!

However, Zhang Yang swatted at the retreating buttcheeks of the flying American. Well, Captain America was not really lucky at all. Zhang Yang triggered the special effect of {Glare of the Death God} with his third hit on Captain America. That wretched dark skull right on top of him immediately, opening up its jaws and swallowing him whole. After that, he was left with only 1 HP!

The Phoenix pet quickly spat out its flaming tongue, giving the final blow to Captain America and ending his life!

Captain America's body began to collapse right after he died. However, right before he touched the ground, he suddenly got back on his feet with 10% HP left! He ran like hell, trying to escape.

Oh! There must be something on him!

Zhang Yang fluttered his radiating wings again and flew towards Captain America. Well, since Captain America's Inheritance Transformation was now inactive, there was no way for him to escape from Zhang Yang. Within one split second, Zhang Yang arrived at the rear of Captain America and he gave Captain America a good slice on his back.

Argh!

Captain America let out a miserable scream and collapsed straight onto the ground. However, Zhang Yang was really surprised to see that this fellow actually came back to life for a second time! He came back with 10% HP left, just like he did when he came back during the first time! However, he dropped a piece of small monolith upon his second death.

That… that was a [Resurrection Monolith]!

However, this fellow could still stand up after he died! This must be because he was currently holding one of the broken chapters of the [Book of Revelation]!

Zhang Yang picked up the [Resurrection Monolith] and threw out his {Spear of Obliteration} at Captain America. The poor Captain America once again let out a miserable cream and smacked the ground with his corpse. This time, he no longer got back on his feet again. Instead, he turned into a stream of white light and got teleported back to his main city.

"Zhan Yu! I'll never let --" His raging scream was cut off one moment right before he died.

A book was dropped from his dead body. Zhang Yang did not hesitate to pick it up immediately, the moment he saw it.

[Book of Revelation: Chapter 4] (Legendary, Unique)

Description: -

Use: Combine this chapter with [Book of Revelation: Chapter 3] and [Book of Revelation: Chapter 5].

Such a pleasant gift! He dropped one [Resurrection Monolith] and a broken page of the [Book of Revelation]! Well, he was too generous!

Zhang Yang was filled with joy. He was currently holding [Book of Revelation: Chapter 3]. He could now combine it with the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 4] that he just acquired. He immediately put the two [Book of Revelation] chapters together. He saw a 10-second progress bar appearing right on top of the two chapters. A stream of holy light flashed across them and the two chapters were perfectly combined together into one.

[Book of Revelation: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4] (Legendary, Unique)

Description: Everyone on the same party of the holder that stands 100 meters from the holder will acquire an additional 10% increase to their damage dealt. Same effects will not stack. If the holder is killed, the holder can choose to resurrect on the spot where he or she dies with 20% HP and 20% MP. This effect can only be triggered once in every 9 hours. Same effect cannot stack. If the holder is killed by other players during the resurrection cooldown period, the holder will definitely drop this item. This item can only be brought along by players, and cannot be destroyed.

Use: Combine this chapter with [Book of Revelation: Chapter 2] and [Book of Revelation: Chapter 5].

The effects had been enhanced! The amount of damage increased had raised from 5% to 10%! Meanwhile, the amount of HP and MP upon resurrection had been increased from 10% to 20%! Meanwhile, the cooldown period for the effect of this item had been reduced from 10 hours down to 9 hours! Sun Xin Yu was currently holding the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 8]. That being said, there should be a total of 8 chapters of [Book of Revelation]. Judging from the enhancement from combining two chapters, Zhang Yang could deduce that when they manage to collect all 8 chapters of the [Book of Revelation] and combine them all together, the final item should be able to give them an 80% damage bonus, and 80% HP and MP upon resurrection and 3 hours of cooldown period.

Zhang Yang had also deduced that the complete [Book of Revelation] should provide one extra special effect for whoever who is holding it. It should not just provide additional attributes. Things would never be so simple when it comes to items with the label 'Legendary'!

Hmm… killing players in order to search for 'treasures'. Zhang Yang and the gang had acquired a broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] with ease. It was much easier than killing a boss! Zhang Yang was determined that when he ever see Captain America again, he should thank him and kill him a couple more times just to be sure that he no longer had any gifts hidden from them!

Well, there was no telling what Captain America would have in mind if he ever knew that Zhang Yang and his gang were treating him like a 'lucky charm' that would drop items for them! However, he did lose both the [Resurrection Monolith] and [Book of Revelation: Chapter 4]. He must be squatting at a corner, drawing circles in the ground with his finger.

So how had things gone between Sun Xin Yu and Heart of Destruction then?

Zhang Yang turned his head around and take a peek at the battle. What he saw was that Sun Xin Yu and Heart of Destruction were engaged in a very fierce battle. The two of them were exhibiting the skills and agility of Top Tier players. They were moving around, adjusting their positions while throwing blows of attacks at each other. Both of them managed to maintain the rate of HP reduction at minimum. Currently, both of them had approximately 60% HP left on each of them. There was no telling if any of them had activated their HP Recovery Skills or not!

Huh?

Zhang Yang was stunned by what he saw. Within his sight, there was a milky white orb of light shining on Sun Xin Yu, right above her head. It was shiny and highly noticeable! Zhang Yang could still see it even if he is hundreds of kilometres away from her! Did she activate some sort of new Skill?

He looked around and saw that there was also another source of milky white light shining down upon another player. That player was actually a member of Paragon from Europe Region. His name was God's Left Hand and he was the one who obtained the Class S Apocalyptic Knight Inheritance!

Could Zhang Yang now detect a holder of a broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] now that he had combined two chapters of it into one?

If that's the case, all he needed to do is to defeat God's Left Hand, before he could get another one broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] then?

After he made up his mind, Zhang Yang flapped his wings and flew straight at God's Left Hand.

"Hmm!" God's Left Hand was a strong and masculine man in his 30s. He had blue eyes and blonde hair. Every equipment on him shone in the light. It was obvious that he was not wearing anything normal at all. He had a shield in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand. Unfortunately, the hammer was not a two-handed weapon. That had caused his Attack power to be much weaker -- of course, it was only much weaker when he was compared to Zhang Yang.

However, the attributes of God's Left Hand were more biased towards Tanking and Healing. Theoretically speaking, this player could have the most powerful Defence and sustainability. As long as a boss does not have a HP Recovery Skill, God's Left Hand could have soloed the boss without a problem. From this point of view, he could be much more awesome than Zhang Yang!

-- now, this is what a real cockroach look like!

From another perspective, if Ten Dusk and Female Raid Covent were to merge into one player, that would be the God's Left Hand! Well, of course, God's Left Hand would have much higher HP and Defence. Also, he would have a much more powerful Healing Ability!

It would be extremely difficult to find anyone on the entire server who could defeat God's Left Hand, especially when he has already activated his Inheritance Transformation Skill!

However, Zhang Yang did not falter. He had his most trusted {Destructive Smash} to weaken the Healing Ability of the God's Left Hand. Furthermore, he possessed an Attack power that was far beyond the Attack power of God's Left Hand! Even if God's Left Hand goes all out on him, he would still be able to deal more damage to God's Left Hand.

"Zhan Yu!" God's Left Hand rose up in the sky and left his opponent on the ground. He went up to face Zhang Yang head on. He said, "I don't even have the Territory Order now, so what can you gain by battling me?"

"I have no interest in the Territory Order at all. However, that broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] that you brought with you, is something that I'm really interested in! I'll claim it for sure!"

"Hmm!" God's Left Arm was shocked. His face darkened a little and he admitted, "How did you know I have a piece of the broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation]?"

Zhang Yang was not so sure at first. He had just wanted to trick him for a bit. However, God's Left Hand had unintentionally admitted that he had one on him. That confirmed Zhang Yang's suspicion -- chapters that are combined into one provided the ability for the player to locate the other missing chapters of the [Book of Revelation].

He laughed out loud and said, "I just guessed!"

"YOU --" God's Left Hand was infuriated after knowing that he had been fooled. However, he did not charge at Zhang Yang like an idiot. Instead, he calmed himself and took a deep breath. Then he did not say a word. Well, starting a battle with Zhang Yang would only do more harm instead of any good to him. He was here to obtain the Territory Order, not to kill anyone!

Meanwhile, he also knew well about the reputation of Zhang Yang. If he really tries to kill Zhang Yang with his current Attack power ... well, the Territory Conquest could have ended by then!

Initially, God's Left hand wanted to wait for the number of players in the battlefield to be reduced by a certain number before he could reach out to snatch the Territory Order. With his Defence and Healing Ability, he could definitely hold his ground until the Territory Conquest ends. Well, if Zhang Yang has come up to interrupt him, he would have no chance at all to snatch the Territory Order for himself. So how should he proceed then?

Chapter 722: A Fierce Battle with God's Left Hand

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

God's Left Hand was conflicted with the choices that lay in front of him. However, Zhang Yang had come up to him with a clear aim. He just wanted the broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] that God's Left Hand had on him!

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yang flew up to God's Left Hand and swung his [Sword of Purging Devourer] straight at God's Left Hand with full force!

Clang!

The swing was greeted by God's Left Hand with his shield. He blocked Zhang Yang's powerful strike down and roared in rage, "Zhan Yu! Do not think that I'm afraid of you!"

"Chi chi cha cha… you really are a man of many words!" Zhang Yang was calm. He told his party members not to dwell on random players anymore, through the party channel. Instead, he told them to focus on finishing off the other 7 members of Paragon!

Well, Zhang Yang had absolute confidence that he could defeat God's Left Hand. However, God's Left Hand was not stupid. His main objective was to secure the Territory Order. He would break off and escape the moment he sees his opportunity. No one would want to die for nothing! Meanwhile, Zhang Yang was determined to snatch the broken chapter of [Book of Revelation] that God's Left Hand was holding. Therefore, the best way to do it would be to cut off any possible routes that his target could use to escape. He asked his party members to defeat the other 7 members of Paragon to ensure that they would not be able to help God's Left Hand escape when the time comes.

Unfortunately, Sun Xin Yu was still engaged in a battle that she could not walk away from, with Heart of Destruction. Otherwise, Zhang Yang and his gang could have taken out their enemies in a much easier and faster manner! After all, God's Left Hand was not made of paper. He was definitely not a normal character.

"Zhan Yu! You'll definitely regret this!" Having known that he and his entire party had been targeted by the Lone Desert Smoke, God's Left Hand decided not to dwell on his conflicts to get what he wanted. He decided to go all out on Zhang Yang and his gang.

"Haha! Then let's battle! You should stop talking!" Zhang Yang began to whirl his sword around, causing damage to God's Left Hand. His attacks were aggressive and precise!

On the other hand, God's Left Hand had activated some sort of Skills that was similar to Zhang Yang's {God of War Shield}. His Damage Immunity had greatly increased. Initially, Zhang Yang's {God of War Battle Axe} and {God of War Devastation} could deal a basic damage of approximately 1,000,000 damage. However, when his Skills landed on the heavily armored body of God's Left Hand, each of those Skills were only managed to deal approximately 600,000 damage! The damage dealt by Zhang Yang had been greatly reduced!

However, the attacks of God's Left Hand were even more pathetic. Even though he was also equipped with a Skill that increased 300% of his Attack, he was only holding a one-handed weapon after all. So he could only deal as much basic damage as 600,000 damage to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang did not have to activate his {God of War Shield} and he could already reduce the damage received from God's Left Hand down to about 480,000 damage just by relying on his 20% Damage Immunity attribute. Furthermore, Zhang Yang's Defence and Damage Absorption could further reduce that itch. So, each of the attacks from God's Left Hand that landed on Zhang Yang could only deal as much as 400,000 damage, tops. With all that, Zhang Yang only had to sustain one-third of the God's Left Hand's total damage he could deal on Zhang Yang.

However, that did not mean that he would lose for sure. He still had a legendary Tier Skill up his sleeves that he had yet revealed!

[Holy Knight's Tolerance (Passive): Every time struck, there is a rate that your {Grace of Divinity } can become an instantly activated Skill. This effect will not be triggered within the next 10 seconds.

[Grace of Divinity: Heals a target. The amount of HP healed will be 300% of your Magic Attack. Casting time: 2 seconds.

In a PvP match, having a Skill that would take a progress bar to chant and having a Skill that could be instantly casted could make a huge difference in battle. The chanting of a Skill could be interrupted as long as the enemies are given even 0.1 second to act on it. Therefore, a Skill or a Spell that could be chanted instantly would be the best and the safest of all. As long as the players are not impeded by any Status Restriction Skills, they would be able to use their instant Skills without a problem!

Although both of them were affected by the effect of the {Destructive Smash}, the basic amount of HP that {Grace of Divinity} could recover was 210,000 HP. Even though God's Left Hand only had 25% Healing Efficiency for the moment, he could still recover approximately 50,000 HP every time he activates his {Grace of Divinity}. Things were still looking good for him!

Of course, he would not able to turn the tide of the battle for himself and his party members just by relying on that. Knights still had a Skill that could bestow upon them a short moment of Invincibility. When his HP bar is reduced to a certain level, he could just activate that Skill to clear out any negative effects on him. Then, all he needed to do was to heal himself as much as he could. Even though his Healing Efficiency had been steeply reduced during that 8 seconds of Invincibility, he would not be using his {Grace of Divinity} now, wouldn't he? Instead, he would be using a more powerful healing Skill called the {Divine Prayers}. He could heal up to 400% of his Magic Attack value with that! With half of the effect, he could heal up to 140,000 HP every time he uses it. So, God's Left Hand could basically heal at over 560,000 HP over the 8-second timeframe of Invincibility!

Not to mention that he was also equipped with other Accessories that could grant him more Invincibility timeframes. Upon stunning his opponents, he could take his sweet time chanting his Spells. God's Left Hand was obviously plotting something wretched behind Zhang Yang. He planned to torture Zhang Yang to his demise by relying on his super powerful Recovery Ability!

Even Sun Xin Yu might be slowly tortured to her death eventually if she comes across such enemies! However, Zhang Yang's HP bar was way too long. So there was no telling that who would be the one who dies by the end of this battle.

"Zhan Yu! I've warned you! You're going to regret this!" God's Left Hand laughed out loud as if he already won the battle.

Unfortunately, {Glare of the Death God} had been used on Captain America earlier on. If it wasn't for that, Zhang Yang could have used that Skill to cripple this super tough turtle shell Defence. However, Zhang Yang did not regret using that Skill on Captain America at all. If he did not kill Captain America, he would not have gotten [Book of Revelation: Chapter 4] and a [Resurrection Monolith] in the first place.

Zhang Yang had no interest to waste his breath on his opponent. So he charged out together with Felice and Phoenix pet. The three of them maximized their damage output and brought hell upon God's Left Hand. Although Phoenix pet was no longer in its transformed form, Felice's Berserk form was still in effect. The damage output of the three of them combined had exceeded that HP Recovery Rate of God's Left Hand!

"F*CK!" God's Left Hand's arrogance was wiped away coldly in an instant. Even though his Attacks had managed to reduce Zhang Yang's HP bar at quite a remarkable rate, but the two of them were losing HP at a very different rate. If the situation goes on like this, he would be the first to go.

Meanwhile, the number of his party members was slowly decreasing. They were being slaughtered up by Wei Yan Er and the rest of Zhang Yang's gang, like animals. So it was not possible at all for him to get support from his own party members.

"Zhan Yu! There is no beef between us. Why are we slaughtering each other? You'll need to use your Ultimate Skills to kill me or the other players. We'll be giving exactly what Hourglass Figure wants!" God's Left Hand attempted to beg again. "So how about I owe you one right now if you're willing to stop this battle at once?"

Zhang Yang smiled vaguely and said, "Alright, just hand me the broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] on you. Then we can shake our hands and make peace!"

"... Zhan Yu! You're taking it too far!"

"You're from Europe Region, and I'm from China Region. Isn't it the 'natural order' of this game for players from different Regions to kill each other, then? So just shut up and fight!" Zhang Yang began hitting in an even more aggressive manner. Upon activating his {Charge Up Strike}, he immediately unleashed his {God of War Devastation} causing a total of 2,000,000 damage on God's Left Hand. Even with all his super tough Defence, God's Left Hand was not able to hold up against such a hit for too many times!

After all, the equipment on him was not as good as the equipment on Zhang Yang. His initial HP was only approximately 500,000 HP. After boosting it up by 40 times, he would only have over 20,000,000 HP. In that sense, he was not on the same par as Zhang Yang!

After a fierce struggle, God's Left Hand suddenly made up his mind about something. He struck Zhang Yang with his {Sanction} and stunned him for good. After that, he did not escape. Instead, he flew towards the fortress as quickly as he could right after that!

Zhang Yang was not equipped with many Status Removal Skills. He would have to wait for 4 seconds before he could recover from the Stun Effect. Well, he would never let his 'target' get away. So with a light roar, he fluttered his wings and pursued God's Left Hand. Of course, he also brought along Felice and his Phoenix pet.

However, the movement speed of a Class S Inheritance upon activating the Inheritance Transformation was too fast for Felice and Phoenix pet to follow. So, Zhang Yang kept Felice back into the Battle Companion Slot. However, he did not have time to unsummon Phoenix pet. Well, pets would be kept back to the inventory once they get too far from their owners.

The pursuit went on intensely.

God's Left Hand was filled with humiliation. With his Class and Inheritance, he was supposed to be powerful enough to stand up against Zhang Yang! However, his equipment was not as good as Zhang Yang's. He only had one piece of Holy Tier equipment on him right now. Furthermore, his Holy Tier equipment was just a cape which did not provide him much of a boost on his attributes. So now, he only had one option left, to run as fast as he could. It was a fatal blow to both his pride and his confidence!

It was really unfortunate for him, because he could not afford to die he was holding a broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] after all. Now his plan was to gain a certain distance between himself and Zhang Yang. Then he would use his Teleportation Scroll to flee to his main city. The progress bar of the Teleportation Scroll would need 10 seconds to fill up. One hit between that 10-second timeframe would interrupt the progress of activating the Teleportation Scroll.

10 seconds! That was the timeframe that he strived to acquire!

However, Zhang Yang was only 4 seconds behind of him even though he started pursuing God's Left Hand a little later. He would never give up on God's Left Hand, now!

God's Left Hand was filled with rage because he had to run. Ever since he acquired his Apocalyptic Knight Inheritance, he had been acting as if he was invincible. How would he be able to stomach this? Getting his *ss whooped to the point that he has to run from his enemy! If this ever gets out to public, he would lose his dignity!

He kept looking back to check on Zhang Yang. Well, of course, Zhang Yang would be there tailing him! Both of them were holding Class S Inheritance, so their movement speeds were basically the same. The distance between them was maintained at a distance of 200 meters.

Because the person behind could adjust himself towards the target to go for the shortest route, God's Left Hand did not dare to even take a turn while he was flying full speed ahead. He just continued flying forward in a straight line.

As expected, the situation went on for quite a while. It would continue on until one of their Inheritance Transformation fades. Therefore, the only problem was, whose Inheritance Transformation was going to end first. Well, if any of them fell from the sky, they would not be able to summon their pet mounts at all.

God's Left Hand flew higher and higher and shouted, "Zhan Yu! How long more can your Inheritance Transformation last? Be careful that you do not fall to your own death!"

"Haha! Mine will surely last longer than yours!" Zhang Yang did not falter. Instead, he challenged God's Left Hand with his words.

They two of them began playing a psychological game on each other. Well, whoever's Inheritance Transformation ends later, that would be the winner of this battle!

Flying higher and higher into the sky, they did not intend to stop at all!

The two of them had left the vicinity of the fortress. Looking from afar, both of them looked like two human figures flying higher and higher into the sky. Even if there were players down on the ground, they would not be able to see what was flying up there. The two of them were just moving too fast for any human eye to catch them!

'Server Announcement: The Territory Conquest has ended. The final holder of the Territory Order is -- Player Dusk Phoenix! Forrest Gump's Fortress is now officially a Private Territory. All players within the vicinity will be teleported back to their main cities immediately!'

The pursuit went on until the Territory Conquest was over!

Although Zhang Yang had left the fortress, Hundred Shots and his other gang would constantly update him with the outcome on the battlefield. Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue must have made a sweet deal with Dusk Phoenix. They actually agreed to help that Phoenix achieve what she wanted. By the end of it, she got the Territory Order and kicked Hourglass Figure right in between her crotch! Everything she had done up to this point had been for nothing! Well, at least she indirectly aided Dusk Phoenix in cleaning up the mess for a bit in the early stage of the Territory Conquest!

As long as India Region does not claim a high Tier Territory, Hourglass Figure would never suffer any loss in her income from the Territory Gateway that she was holding. Therefore, even though she was extremely unwilling to accept the fact that she had lost the high Tier Territory, she was not overly disappointed with the outcome. The only thing that she really lost miserably were the two [Forbidden Scrolls] that she used during the Territory Conquest. After all, she had spent a fortune just to get them.

Zhang Yang's Inheritance Transformation could last for another 5 minutes. He must be ready to descend onto the ground 30 seconds before his Inheritance Transformation would come to an end. Or else, he would become a meat pie on the ground upon falling!

He believed that God's Left Hand would also attempt to descend to the ground about 30 seconds before his Inheritance Transformation ends. No one would be stupid enough to let themselves fall to their own deaths and lose a substantial amount of Experience Points! However, if God's Left Hand's Inheritance Transformation would really end a minute after Zhang Yang's, that would give him enough time to leave Zhang Yang behind! Furthermore, if God's Left Hand is daring enough, he could even turn around and try to kill Zhang Yang!

The outcome of the battle would be decided in one split moment!

Chapter 723: Book of Revelation: Chapter 10

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

God's Left Hand was getting anxious. His Inheritance Transformation could only last for another 3 minutes. If he does not land in time, he would be falling to his own demise!

Of course, it had been a while since he had not engaged in battle with Zhang Yang. So he was no longer in his Battle Mode. Even if he really falls to his own death, he would be deemed as dying of 'Natural Cause'. It would not affect him at all. He would not lose any Experience Point or drop any equipment after he dies.

However, he would be resurrected on the spot where he dies, all thanks to the broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] that he was holding. Furthermore, the situation would be far more dangerous than he could ever imagine when he would only be resurrected with only 10% HP on him. A single hit from Zhang Yang might kill him again on the spot! When that happens, he would not only lose Experience Points, he would also be losing the broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation] that he was holding!

Damn it! Sometimes the items were little too good to be true. Well, if the broken chapter does not resurrect him on the spot, he could have released his soul to the Graveyard and choose to get resurrected there. 10 minutes would be required for a player to be resurrected at a graveyard. He could go to the Action House to deplete that amount of time.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes!

God's Left Hand could no longer risk it anymore. He had to descend to the ground now. He could only hope that he could use the trees of the forest to cover his tracks. His best bet was to attempt to vanish from Zhang Yang's sight. After flying low in the forest for a few seconds, his Inheritance Transformation had finally ended. He instantly transformed from being a 'god' back to a human.

God's Left Hand quickly took out his Teleportation Scroll and hid himself in the surroundings. A small teleportation circle was formed right underneath his feet. He could get himself out of the god-forsaken place after 10 seconds of activation. Meanwhile, he sworn that he would gather the best men in his organization and hunt every single member of the Lone Desert Smoke whenever they are alone. He wanted Zhang Yang to pay for what he did to him!

9, 8, 7... 3!

"Were you waiting for me?"

Just when God's Left Hand was beginning to feel relieved, he heard the annoying and familiar voice across his ears. At the same time, a blade came down on his neck.

God damn it!

God's Left Hand could only activate his {Sacred Block} to block Zhang Yang's attack. He had to interrupt the teleportation circle that was almost formed. Or else, with Zhang Yang's current Attack power, especially when he is still in his transformed form, he could have instantly taken God's Left Hand out with one single swing of his sword! Furthermore, once a player is attacked while the teleportation circle was forming, the process would be interrupted.

However, this {Sacred Block} was a little different than expected!

{Block} allowed players to have 100% of blocking Physical Damage from the enemies. Meanwhile, {Sacred Block} only provide players 50% chance to block both Physical Damage and Magic Damage from enemies. It all depended one's luck of activating this Skill successfully. Obviously, he might have done something bad in his life to deserve such an unlucky fate!

'249,830!'

As the blade slit through his body armor, God's Left Hand was heavily wounded again and his HP bar had dropped down to 20% left, putting him into his 'Killing Cleave' stage.

"Zhan Yu! I swear I will come back and kill you! Just wait and see!" God's Left Hand knew that he had no chance at all to run away now. So he sulked and let out a raging roar.

"I'll be waiting for you!" Zhang Yang said. Meanwhile, his Rage Bar had hit its maximum cap and Zhang Yang activated his {Killing Cleave} without any hesitation at all.

'-1,161,022!'

God's Life Hand instantly received a total of damage that exceeded a million! He let out an 'Argh!' and collapsed onto the ground. However, he came back to life with 10% HP bar, immediately right after that. Zhang Yang was well prepared for that. Upon the 1-second global cooldown of all his Skills, he struck out with his {God of War Devastation} to end the battle at that instant. Well, the impact of his {God of War Devastation} was so oppressive that he left a large hole right in the middle of God's Left Hand's chest. Blood was oozing out madly right from his chest wound. Once again, God's Left Hand collapsed on the ground and stayed dead. After dropping the broken chapter of the [Book of Revelation, he no longer came back to life.

[Book of Revelation: Chapter 10] (Legendary, Unique)

Description: -

Use: Combine this item with the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 9].

Chapter 10? Furthermore, it did not mention anything about a chapter 11. That being said, it was now confirmed that there would only be 10 chapters of [Book of Revelation].

Very well! With Sun Xin Yu holding one broken chapter of the book, Zhang Yang now had over 4 chapters of the [Book of Revelation] in his possession. More importantly, he had acquired two consecutive chapters that he could combine them into one. He had obtained the ability to locate the other missing chapters of the [Book of Revelation]. That has made it much easier for him to collect the remaining ones!

God's Left Hand, Captain America. Both of them had been really good people today. Zhang Yang would never forget about their 'goodwill'.

That gratitude echoed through deeply into Zhang Yang's heart.

If God's Left Hand and Captain America could only knew what he was thinking now, they could have gone mad to point that their noses would become crooked! They would and hunt Zhang Yang down and eat his heart out.

Now that the Territory Conquest was over, Zhang Yang used his teleportation scroll to get back to Souron's Castle. While Han Ying Xue and the others were chatting casually, they saw Zhang Yang returning. So, they began to ask Zhang Yang if he came back with any prizes worth checking out.

Zhang Yang revealed the description for the [Book of Revelation: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4] so that everyone on his party could see and admire them.

"So when you get all 10 chapters of it, you can resurrect yourself with full HP bar once every hour, I assume? Little Yang, did you just believe in Brother Chun1 again?"

"Well, if boss really believes in Brother Chun again, he should be able to resurrect himself with full HP whenever he wants! Since boss needs to wait for a cooldown period before he can resurrect himself again, I'm going to say that boss is only believing in Brother Ceng2 !"

Fatty Han and Endless Starlight partnered up to tease Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang only smiled at them. However, he also saw that Female Raid Covent and Ten Dusk were also there, trying to blend in with them. He turned to stare at them.

"Hehe!" Female Raid Covent came up to Zhang Yang and started acting like his best pal again. Then he said, "I've decided to get myself to know more about the little loli and be friends with her! So, I joined your guild! So are you touched to hear my decision? Did you feel so excited that you're about to cry? With me joining your guild, the entire world will tremble in fear!"

"Hmm! Yes! It's the fear of disgust!"

Wei Yan Er was spitting and sticking out her tongue at Female Raid Covent. Then she said, "I'm never going to befriend you, hamsap uncle! My brother-in-law! Beat him up!"

Everyone was laughing the two of them. With this 'weird and hamsap uncle' in their club, their party became merrier than before now.

Captain America and God's Left Hand had also began launching their attacks on the Lone Desert Smoke. However, they were only capable of attacking the guild's members. Zhang Yang was undaunted by their pathetic attempts. If they would like a fight, he would always be ready for them. So, who should be the ones scared now? For the next few days, the two sides had suffered heavy casualties. It affected them all so badly that they could not progress with their level grinding at all. It did not take long before they came to an agreement to cease fire on each other.

As more players were reaching Level 150, more players became capable of venturing into the Level 150 – 180 maps. In just a short period of time, another two high Tier Territories were unlocked. Therefore, another two Territory Conquests happened right after that.

Zhang Yang and his gang went to join in the fun as usual. However, Zhang Yang did not notice any milky light shining upon anyone across the battlefield. Zhang Yang and his party members simply left then, since there was no reason for them to stay. Well, they had no desire to snatch the Territory Order after all. So when they knew that there were no broken chapters of the [Book of Revelation] found in the vicinity, they had no reason to stay at all. If they ever get themselves killed, they would only lose a substantial amount of Experience Points.

Furthermore, using that 3 hours to kill some monsters would earn themselves quite a tremendous amount of Experience Points. So, why should they waste their time in a Territory Conquest that does nothing beneficial for them, then?

By the end of it, the two high Tier Territories had been claimed. Each of them was claimed by Savage Lord from the India Region and Dark Palace from the America Region. That Hourglass figure was really a rich b*tch. While they were claiming Cynthia's Town, she actually used another two [Forbidden Scrolls]!

Well, one of the main reasons was because the Lone Desert Smoke and the Hell Family did not join any of the two Territory Conquests. In the most crucial moment of that Territory Conquest, Hourglass Figure did not hold back at all. She even threw out the two [Forbidden Scrolls] without any hesitation, even though she failed previously. By doing so, they managed to secure the Territory Order and claim victory over the Territory Conquest in Cynthia's Town. Meanwhile, Dark Palace had also used the same tactic. He also used [Forbidden Scrolls] and secured the Territory Order in the other Territory Conquest.

After that, all four high Tier Territories had been revealed to the public. They were known as Souron's Castle, Forrest Gump's Fortress, Cynthia's Town and White Horse Bay. So, the next big event that was going to happen in the game would be marching into the 'Anthylor The Holy City'. Well, no one would be able to conquer that place. Meanwhile, players would be able to bind themselves to the Teleportation Circle on that site. Therefore, even though there were four Regions who did not get to conquer any high Tier Territory, they need not have to worry at all. They could still bind themselves to the Teleportation Circle in the Holy City when they manage to reach Level 180.

Zhang Yang and his gang were busting their *sses, trying to get their levels up as quickly as they could. Zhang Yang and Wei Yan Er were trying extra hard. The two of them could only equip the equipment that they obtained earlier on when they reach Level 160. Therefore, they were very motivated to grind their levels. However, it was really difficult to find a good spot to farm. Well, not all monsters would give players a substantial amount of Experience Points after they are slain.

After more than a month of hardship on grinding their levels, Zhang Yang finally became the first to reach Level 160 in the entire server.

After switching to his [Crimson Goblin Gaunlets, Zhang Yang's HP had finally exceeded 1,000,000, under the boost of his {Vitality Aura}. Now, he had over 1,050,000 HP! It was a terrifying amount of HP for a player to have. If he changes his name, other players might mistake him as a boss in the Open World Map!

Other than that, his attack had reached up to the range of 115,409 - 137,489 damage. With each attack reaching over 100,000 damage, Zhang Yang would be capable of killing a full HP player of the same level as him who is wearing a set of Violet-Platinum Tier equipment, with a single swing of his sword.

Upon reaching Level 160, Zhang Yang had also acquired an additional Skill Point. So, he added the Skill Point to his {Shadow Clone}. After adding the Skill up to Level 10, he would focus on adding his Skill Points to his {Force Strike}. Well, that Skill had become worthy of his investment after it was enhanced into {Superior Force Strike}.

Zhang Yang went to see Ares The God of War to learn another new Skill. Well, he could not escape being lectured on why he had been improving his Strength so slowly. After that, he had finally acquired a new God of War Inheritance Skill for reaching Level 160.

[Tribulation: When struck, reflects the same amount of damage you receive back to the attacker. Last for 10 minutes. Cooldown: 2 hours. Required: 10 God of War Energy Points.

Although the cooldown period of the Skill was stated as 2 hours, the Inheritance Transformation Skill could only last for 2 hours as well. In other words, he could only use this Skill once, after activating his Inheritance Transformation. However, this Skill could make his immensely powerful, even though it could only last for 10 minutes. Just imagine this. When he is surrounded by his enemies, the amount of damage he receives from his enemies would be reflected back right at his enemies! Furthermore, he could also strike his enemies with {God of War's Crushing Strike}. His Phoenix pet and Felice would be there to spam their AoE attacks on his enemies as well. By the end of it, it would be difficult to say who would be the one cornered!

Meanwhile, on the second day after Zhang Yang reached Level 160, the officials made an announcement that the 'Spectre Invasion' arc had been activated. A whole new historic chapter was waiting for the players to explore.

The background theme of 'God's Miracle' had always been about Spectre and Demons invading the world. All races must rise together to go up against the invasion. At the current stage of the game, the Spectre had created a new secret weapon and they were just one step closer to launching the most violent attacks on the alliances that were formed to protect the world.

After the 'Spectre Invasion' patch was released, there were countless signs of Spectre activities all around the main cities, and also the villages, small towns and fortresses. However, those were just signs that came before a large-scale Spectre Invasion. They were designed and placed across the entire server just to set up the mood for the players.

TL Note:

1. Brother Chun: A term derived to refer to some figure that you could trust to ensure that your 'dream' will come true.

2. Bother Ceng: A term used to make fun of other people on the internet after the term 'Brother Chun' was created.

Chapter 724: The Spectres Invade

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As for what had happened in his past life, Zhang Yang recalled that when the Specter Invasion started, he was only Level 50 or so. He could only be a side-character, killing random small minions at the side of the map, while the other "heroes" charged into the real fight with Angus, Lord of the Seven Spectre King. While others had face trouble fighting him when they were already higher levels than he was, Zhang Yang could not even set foot in the fight! It might be a surreal fantasy, but the truth was factual, a Celestial tier boss, Angus had descended down to the human realm and brought the doomsday with him!

Even though each major city should have their own Celestial tier boss, due to several story plot devices, they were untouchable. Even the bosses in neutral grounds could not be touched as they were all friendlies. Players would not even give it a try since firstly, it would be extremely difficult, and secondly, there was no reason to.

As for the Ten Evil Demon Lords, and the Seven Spectre Kings, they were all considered to be open-world bosses. Under normal conditions, they were considered to be undefeatable targets. Their powers were so strong that they could snuff out all players with just a simple blow of their noses. Hence, theoretically, even if all players from all corners of the world were to join forces, they would be completely wiped out as well. 100% clean.

To defeat a Celestial tier boss, one must have a Celestial tier equipment set. However, Celestial tier equipment would only drop from a Celestial tier boss! It's a complete loop. Hence, without special conditions, a Celestial tier boss could never be killed.

At that moment, the game version was still held during their Spectre Invasion patch. It was made to be a small introduction to the real threat that will come eventually. As such, if players can find, trigger, and complete a few crucial quests, they can fulfill a certain condition where players could bring in the King or the Baron of the Kingdom to participate in the war against the Celestial tier boss!

However, mind that the NPCs were only mostly Ascended tiers. Unless they have an army of Ascended tier bosses lining up, tanking the Celestial tier boss with only a few Ascended tier NPC would go poorly. Technically, the odds were still in favor of the Celestial tier boss, however, with help from players, they might still have a chance of defeating him. At that point, the Celestial tier boss will drop the Celestial tier equipment.

Zhang Yang may have more than several tens of millions of HP, but in the face of a Celestial tier boss, it would simply take a normal attack to kill him. Even if he uses his Inheritance Transformation, the boss would still be several Levels ahead of him. With the Level Suppression system still in effect, no one, including Zhang Yang could deal more than 1 pitiful damage!

All who were in the face of the overwhelming Celestial boss were nothing but tiny ants!

Zhang Yang could recall the memories of his past life when the Spectre Invasion event was still ongoing. It was the first time in history that all players in the battlefield were wiped clean, and all major cities were overrun by Spectre except one that stood strong, because all of the lower level players were hiding behind the walls. That was how powerful Angus was.

Naturally, the system had not made it impossible for players. After every short period of time, the Spectre army will withdraw on their own and the NPC army will form a counterattack force to try and defeat Angus. Every time the raid fails, the NPC army's strength will be slowly increased until Angus is defeated.

However, there will be a drawback. Every time the NPC army and players are defeated by Angus, the number of drops from Angus will be reduced. According to the data released by the officials, if Angus is killed in only the first try, he will drop one of the 6 major classes' - 13 pieces set equipment! All the Celestial tier equipment were Unique. Even if any one person is able to get their hands on one of the 13 set equipment, they would be greeted with immeasurable fame and glory!

If the first attempt fails, the second attempt will drop only 10 set equipment. The third will only drop 7, and 4 for the fourth time. After the fifth time, the boss will only drop one of the set equipment. If players are still unable to defeat the boss, there will be no more set equipment, only regular equipment without set effects. After more failures, the number of possible Celestial tier equipment drop will be reduced even further.

Eventually, if players are still unable to defeat Angus, the NPCs will be stronger than Angus, and the boss will only drop one regular Celestial tier equipment. Although it may sound weak, it was still a Celestial tier.

Naturally, having a full set of regular Celestial tier equipment will be far weaker than having a full set of Celestial tier set equipment!

In his previous life, Angus was defeated only after the seventh trial, and all set-equipment was removed from the drop list. The boss was killed and only dropped four regular Celestial tier equipment. Even so, due to the extremely limited drops, a massive war had erupted among all players.

However, even if they won the war and claimed the Celestial equipment, they would have to train for more than a year in order to reach the Level Requirement which was Level 230, Level 200 if they had a special Level reduction effect.

The main point was not the Celestial equipment, but the Celestial boss! That was how strong it was.

Zhang Yang clearly recalled that all four equipment were claimed by four different individuals, which was One Sword Stroke, Hourglass Figure, Captain America, and God's Left Hand. That time, Captain America had, of course, possessed the God of War Inheritance.

Zhang Yang felt a shiver down his spine thinking about. Who knows how many time would they need to try this time…

It was a Celestial tier set equipment hanging right there just for him. Even Zhang Yang could not resist the temptation, and started to fantasize.

As long as a town is occupied by Humans, Orcs, Elves, and Dwarves, they will be attacked by Spectres. As such, they were named as the Attacked Villages. Different level of maps will be invaded with the appropriate level of monsters. Even the beginner's village will be swarmed with Level 10 monsters.

The Spectres will attack the cities every one hour, and will have one boss leading the charge. The boss' level will be adjusted according to the map's Level as well. If the Spectre were to attack Souron's Castle, the boss' Level will be Level 170, similar to the monsters of which the boss was leading.

However, since the boss was not the final boss of the corresponding map, the equipment dropped from it would not have the special Level reduction effect. Hence, it was not as valuable to others. However, it was still in demand, since Mythical tier equipment that are farmed from dungeons were bound on loot. It cannot be traded nor sold. Hence, there was still a certain value to the equipment obtained from open-world bosses. Especially, when the most wanted equipment were Level 140. Better than nothing, right?

The only new dungeons available then were the Level 170 dungeons. Right then, there was a Level 160 dungeon that could be raided. However, Zhang Yang did not want to raid, rather, he did not know how to do it. Going in alone would be suicidal and stupid. Also, if he does manage to obtain the First Clear Reward, it would be a waste, since the other members would not be able to obtain the perks.

It was still better to set his priorities somewhere else. Zhang Yang went to White Jade Castle and headed to the Explorer's Guild, an establishment that would post the main quests for the Spectre Invasion event.

The NPC that gives out the quest was a greenish little gnome. No one knows, but the little NPC had randomly just appeared out of nowhere and stood there as if he had been waiting for Zhang Yang for a long time. Zhang Yang came to him and the little gnome gestured Zhang Yang to bend over lower. "Hmph! Rude! Bend over a little, my neck is hurting, just looking at your stupid face!"

Zhang Yang popped a vein in his forehead and he did just that. Zhang Yang found himself a chair and sat down.

"I've come to accept a request, Guraj, not to listen to your complaints!"

Gnomes are the kind of species that are afraid of fights. Hence, the system had implemented a kind of system where if the player offends the NPC, the quest that the player receives will be of no use to them. Zhang Yang had learned that the hard way in his previous life.

"Fine." said the Gnome as Zhang Yang would not allow the Gnome to leave his sight. "What kind of quest would you like to accept here? I have a few lying around, errands of running here and there. I also have some that require stealth and strength to infiltrate the enemy's base to retrieve top-secret military intelligence."

Fortunately for Zhang Yang, he was not too rude with the Gnome. The quests he offered to Zhang Yang were plenty in variety! In his previous life, Zhang Yang was only offered random running errands!

"Give me the hardest you've got!"

"Ho ho ho, if you think that you're that invincible, I have one that might snap you back to reality! Head over to Spectre Outpost located in the Forest of Clouds. Find out the reason behind the rising activity of the Spectres," said Gulaj.

'Ding! Gulaj has a quest for you: The Spectre's Secret. Will you accept it?'

[Spectre's Secret] (Difficulty Level: B)

Description: Gulaj wants you to head over to the Spectre Outpost located in the Forest of Clouds. Find out the reason why the Spectre have begun to move about. After your investigation, report back to Gulaj.

Progress: Understand the Spectre's Secret 0/1

Quest Reward: Experience Points: 5,000,000 Military Points: 100

Military Points!

Zhang Yang smiled with such satisfaction. The reason why he was happy to able to retrieve better quests was because of the Military Points. Military Points are useful only during the Spectre Invasion event. The more you have, the more soldiers you could hire. Correspondingly, the larger your army, the higher the chance of you defeating Argus.

100 Military Points might be an insignificant amount, but it was far better than the 1 or 2 Military Points reward for completing random errands.

Zhang Yang had not shared the news about the quest with anyone else, since Han Ying Xue and the rest of the gang were lower than Level 160. Most of the quests that were related to the Spectre Invasion event were Level 160 and above. Plus, Han Ying Xue and the rest of the gang were extremely busy leveling in order to reach Level 160 as soon as possible to join Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang teleported to Souron's Castle and rode the Phoenix towards the Forest of Clouds. After three to four hours of bored flying, he came to a place that looked like a mass grave, situated nearby a number of towers. Countless of towers were built there with numerous Spectre monsters going in and out of it. Just the numbers alone would be like fighting the entire of China!

Zhang Yang flew downward and landed. Since there were no clues as to where he should start searching for clues, Zhang Yang decided to check out the towers one by one in order to fulfill the quest requirement. Zhang Yang scouted the area and soared to the skies soon after. He made his way swiftly and made the Phoenix a smaller size before summoning Felice out and wreaked havoc to the entire place.

Zhang Yang made his way into the tower entrance and killed his way through. The interior of the tower was like the famous Catacombs underneath Paris. There were bones embedded in the walls of the tower! The worst part of it all was that, it seemed like the tower was only built in a few days' time, for there was still fresh blood oozing out of some of the bones. Maggots coupled with rotten flesh kept falling down from above, as Zhang Yang made his way upwards the tower.

There was a group small skeletal soldiers, grouped in 12, that were patrolling around. They were only normal tiers and as they spotted Zhang Yang, their first instinct was to charge in blindly. However, no matter how many monsters there were then, they were nothing but normal tiers. With several quick swings, Zhang Yang killed them all. As a reward, the skeletal soldiers dropped many [Frosty Inscribed Cloth].

Those [Frosty Inscribed Cloth] could be used to craft [Level 7 Frosty Inscribed Bandages] which could heal over 100,000 HP in 10 seconds. Since Zhang Yang had the title to increase the [Bandage] effect, he could heal over 200,000 HP. However, his HP limit was so high that 200,000 HP was just about 20% of his entire HP bar. It was neither too little nor too much. Yet, it was somewhat still insignificant.

After collecting all the loot, Zhang Yang followed the flight of stairs upwards. Occasionally, Zhang Yang's heavy character made stepping on the boney staircase a difficult process, since he appeared to be cracking them. Though it was just a sound effect and not a real physical event, it was made purely as a scary ambience.

Zhang Yang moved up to the second floor and found a change in the monster type. On the ground floor, the monsters were nothing but normal tier skeletal soldiers that posed no threat to him. On the second floor however, there were many scrawny, meatless, muscles-less elite tier Spectre Wizards.

[Warfront Spectre Wizard] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 165

HP: 4,950,000

Defense: 6,640

Magic Attack: 24,446 – 32,446

Chapter 725: Tower Clearing

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation

Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the skill {Death Wave} would not heal the caster himself, it could be used to heal others. Hence, if two Spectre Wizard were to stand side by side, they could technically heal each other endlessly, making the battle much harder. If he kites too many of them at the same time, it would be really difficult. Stack them up to a certain amount, all the monsters could basically heal themselves back to full health if Zhang Yang is unable to kill them all in a blast!

What a sad case indeed. Zhang Yang had initially thought that he could at least perform a fast mass-kill since the tower floor was crowded and small. Sadly, due to the AoE healing {Death Wave}, Zhang Yang had to change his killing style to one at a time! The slowest, boring-est, lamest style ever!

If {Destructive Smash} was an AoE attack, he could have just kited of the monsters in together and wiped them all without having to worry about their healings! At most, if he is unable to handle the damage, he could just rely on {Shadow of the Void} to escape!

Zhang Yang carefully aimed {Spear of Obliteration} at the monsters at the edge of the crowd and kited him towards himself. The monster was drawn away from the bunch of monsters, allowing Zhang Yang to fight the monster alone.

After a certain distance, Zhang Yang moved towards it and attacked. After a normal attack, Zhang Yang's Rage gauge was filled. He used {Charge Up Strike} and landed one {God of War Devastation} dealing more than a million damage to the monster.

'-29,373!'

A powerful attack landed on Zhang Yang which made Zhang Yang winched a little. 30,000 damage was not a small amount. As such, facing a magic type monster, a Guardian loses his tankiness. All his thick armor is ineffective. With his HP, he could at least take 35 hits of the {Shadow Arrow}. Technically, if the monster wants to kill Zhang Yang, he would need to last for 70 seconds.

"Shi shi shi shi!" The Wizard laughed in a weird manner and blasted out a dark wave. The wave dealt close to 18,000 damage to Zhang Yang. That was the skill {Death Wave}. Fortunately, Zhang Yang had only drawn in one monster, hence, the skill was only an AoE attack instead of a healing skill.

"Laughing? Really?" Zhang Yang sliced the monster on and on before striking the monster with a {God of War Heavy Axe}, dealing more than 300,000 damage with a single blow.

Another {Shadow Arrow} was being casted by the Spectre Wizard. However, before the spell could finish, Zhang Yang landed a {Crash Magic} on the monster and disrupted the spell cast. For the next 3 seconds, the monster was silent and could only deal physical attacks on Zhang Yang by knocking on him with his wooden staff.

Since magic type monsters would have low physical attack, the attack was not only unable to deal any single damage to him, but also triggered Zhang Yang's {Block}. As such, Zhang Yang was able to use {Shield Bash} to forcefully bash the wizard's boney face in.

"Aurgh!" The wizard cried with rage. Elite or not, Zhang Yang was unrivaled in strength. In just half a minute, Zhang Yang with the combine attack of the Phoenix and Felice, was able to defeat it. The monster had rewarded Zhang Yang with a large sum of 5,000,000 experience points. Still, it was not a surprise. An elite was an elite monster, even though the monster had only attacked Zhang Yang roughly around 10 times, with both {Shadow Arrow} and {Death Wave}, the monster was able to deal a total of 400,000 HP, which was 40% of Zhang Yang's HP!

To be safe, Zhang Yang did not proceed to kite the second monster. Instead, he sat down and bit down a [Chicken Burger] to restore his HP back to 100% before engaging again.

One by one, Zhang Yang killed all of the monsters on the second floor. Sadly, he had taken more than half an hour to do so. After finishing up the boring floor, Zhang Yang made his way up the staircase. Before he could reach the third floor, he came across a large monster that was standing guard at the entrance.

[Warfront Spectre Wizard Captain] (Mythical, Spectre)

Level: 170

HP: 8,500,000

Defense: 10,490

Magic Attack: 43,569 – 63,569

Skills:

[Shadow Arrow: Deals 200% Magic Shadow damage to a target. Range: 30 meters. Casting time: 2 seconds.

[Death Wave: Blasts a deadly wave that is meant to corrupt the living and mend the dead. Deals 80,000 Shadow damage to all non-Spectre based target and heals all Spectres type targets for 40,000 HP.

[Spectre Constitution: Restores 1% HP every 30 seconds. Recovery rate would not be affected by skills.

A mini-boss?

Even though it was merely a Mythical tier boss, it would be a worthwhile fight. Why reject something when it's given to you for free?

After restoring all his HP, Zhang Yang took charge, followed by the Phoenix and Felice behind. Even though the boss may have the annoying HP recovery skill, it was still limited by the maximum HP. So, the boss might have a maximum HP of 8,500,000 HP, which means, that every 30 seconds, it could heal 85,000 HP. That's only 3,000 HP per second. Zhang Yang's DPS was far stronger than that puny number.

"Hmph. Humans. Your days on this land are numbered!" said the boss as Zhang Yang approached him. With a bold expression, he lifted his staff and blasted Zhang Yang with {Shadow Arrow}.

{Charge}!

Zhang Yang glided through the floor and attacked the boss. Once Zhang Yang had landed his attack, both the Phoenix and Felice started their attack. Both of the Battle Companion and the Battle Mount had reached Level 160. Their combined DPS had reached as high as 50,000, which was almost as high as Zhang Yang's DPS. The Phoenix will continue to upgrade its tier, turning into a Holy tier battle mount after Level 170. Sadly, if Felice's seal is not broken by then, perhaps both her Level and tier would not increase any further.

Technically, Zhang Yang would only need 40 seconds to kill the boss. On the other hand, the boss would only need half of that time to kill Zhang Yang. With brute force alone, Zhang Yang will die. Hence, Zhang Yang had to use a variety of skills to survive the battle and kill the boss. With {Shield Wall} lasting for 10 seconds, and the use of {Shadow of the Void} to allow Felice to take charge of the aggro control, he could easily outplay the boss' DPS. It was easy enough for Felice to tank the boss in her {Spectral Tiger Form} since she would have 610,000 HP.

The boss' recovery skill was nothing much to be concerned about, for it only heals 85,000 HP once. At most, each healing instance could blot out one instance of attack. Hence, in just 40 seconds, the boss died and rewarded Zhang Yang with a pile of random items.

Zhang Yang picked up all the items and found some rather valuable loot. There was one Mythical tier equipment, three Violet-Platinum tier equipment, and the rest was considered to be junk.

[Blouse of the Shadow Death] (Mythical, Cloth Armor)

Defense: 32

Vitality: 2371

Intelligence: 1096

Spirit: 484

Equip: Increases Maximum MP by 2,190.

Equip: Increases your damage and healing rate by 3.5%

{Unidentified}

Level Requirement: 160

Shadow Death Set Equipment (1/5): {Hat of the Shadow Death}, Blouse of the Shadow Death, {Glove of the Shadow Death}, {Boots of the Shadow Death}, {Tights of the Shadow Death}.

Three Equipment Set Effect: Increases magic damage and healing rate by 20%

Five Equipment Set Effect: Upon receiving an attack, there will be a 1% chance to send yourself into the Nether Realm for 3 seconds. You cannot be targeted by both enemies and allies alike.

Set equipment! Not bad!

What a rare encounter, considering that fact that it had been a while since Zhang Yang last saw a set equipment. Though the Three Equipment Set Effect could add 20% damage, it was not enough to compensate for the difference of tiers between higher tiers. Still, it was valuable to other players who could never get their hands on Ethereal tier!

Perhaps, there was a chance that each of the towers in the vicinity would have a mini boss inside. If Zhang Yang is to clear all the towers, he could farm all the required set equipment and sell them as a complete set in town for several hundreds of thousands gold coins.

Zhang Yang took out two [Chicken Burger]. As his HP was too long, eating just one [Chicken Burger] could only heal him by 500,000 HP. It was not enough.

As mentioned before, Battle Companions were like players. They could use [Bandages] and consume items to restore their HP. For Felice, one [Chicken Burger] was more than enough to restore all her HP. As for battle mounts, their HP would automatically regenerate once they leave the combat mode. Their HP regeneration rate was so strong that they could completely heal themselves back to full health in only 30 seconds.

Zhang Yang proceeded on to the third floor and the monsters had changed again. From skeletal soldiers, to Spectre Wizards, the third floor monsters were all rotten, zombie-like monkeys. A single jump of them could send them coming from as far as several meters away. It was completely unlike those Spectre monsters!

[Warfront Death Leaper] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 165

Defense: 6,640

Melee Attack: 37,947 – 57,947

Skills:

[Leap: Leaps towards the target. Can leap over obstacles.

[Death Blade: Deals 150% melee physical attack. Cannot be evaded. Cannot be blocked. Reduces the target's healing rate by 50%. Last for 10 seconds.

Compared to the magic type monsters back, Zhang Yang was completely unfazed by the strength of the monkeys. With his super-powered defense, he would normally take only 13,000 damage from a monster with 50,000 attack power. However, the skill [Leap] might prove to be a little troublesome. Hence, Zhang Yang played it safe and only drew in two at a time. Luckily, he had a lot of [Chicken Burger] courtesy of Han Ying Xue, allowing him to survive many battles!

A typical Level 120 recovery snacks cost 2 gold coins each, whereas the Level 150 [Chicken Burger] were even more expensive. On the other hand, the [Chicken Burgers] can never be found elsewhere. It can only be crafted. The only method of obtaining it is to buy it from players or make it themselves by hunting chickens, pluck peppers, and buy flour from shops. It will be expensive.

Suffice to say, 5 gold coins each was a good deal. At most, it could cost the exact same price as a real-life chicken burger! However, in reality, how many burgers could you eat? Only Zhang Yang could spend a fortune and eat all those burgers in the game. Typical players would rather pair up with a Priest or a Sacred Knight to save up unnecessary spending.

That was one of the main reason why healers were weak in attack, yet were extremely welcome in an outdoor party.

There was a total of 30 Leapers on the third floor. As Zhang Yang kills two monsters at a time, he took close to 39 minutes to clear the entire floor. Similarly, there was a mini boss standing guard at the entrance of the fourth floor.

[Warfront Death Leaper Captain] (Mythical, Spectre)

Level: 170

HP: 8,500,000

Defense: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,774 – 60,774

Skills:

[Leap: Leaps towards the target. Can leap over obstacles and stuns the target on impact for 2 seconds.

[Death Blade: Deals 200% melee physical attack. Cannot be evaded. Cannot be blocked. Reduces the target's healing rate by 50%. Lasts for 10 seconds

Despite having the same skills as the elite version of the Leapers. The boss' skill had an extra stunning effect and an extra 50% added damage. The difficulty had only been increased by a tiny notch.

Chapter 726: More Set Equipment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After restoring his HP, Zhang Yang brought Felice and Phoenix up front to attack. He still insisted on attacking alone instead of calling his friends.

"Fresh FREEEESH FREEEESH MEAT!" cried the Leaper Captain as he leaped towards Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang had earlier sent away Felice and Phoenix, hence, he was the only one who suffered from the stunning effect.

While the stun effect was still ongoing, Felice and the Phoenix attacked the boss without waiting. Felice's DPS was perhaps one tier higher than the Phoenix, hence, the aggro value generated on her was double that of the Phoenix. Hence, the boss had chosen Felice as his attack target. Sharp claws flung around, slicing and dicing Felice. Although she was wearing metal armor, it did not stop the claws from cutting through. Blood was spilt everywhere.

Zhang Yang recovered immediately and use {Charge} to instant close the gap between him and the boss.

Zhang Yang's DPS was twice as much as Felice's. With {Shield Oath} in effect, he could generate more aggro. After only 3 seconds of attacking, Zhang Yang had taken control over the boss and managed to save Felice.

With the godly skill {Block}, all physical attack type targets were in a shorter hand of the battle. Coupled with Zhang Yang steroid-pumped defense, the boss' normal attacks could only deal as much damage as 4,500 DPS.

On the other hand, while the skill {Death Blade} could only be activated once every 10 seconds, dealing as high as 100,000 per strike on average. The damage dealt on Zhang Yang was only as much as 53,000 damage which was around 5,300 DPS. Hence, his skill damage was higher than his normal attack.

Combined, the boss true DPS was at least 10,000. He would take at least 100 seconds to kill Zhang Yang. Compared to the previous wizard boss, this leaper boss was much weaker.

Zhang Yang did not need to even use {Shadow of the Void} to escape the battlefield, for he could tank safely until the boss was killed.

Similar to the previous boss, this leaper boss had dropped one Mythical, and three Violet-Platinum tier equipment. The Mythical tier item was a set equipment at that!

[Soul Reaper Arm Guard] (Mythical, Leather Armor)

Defense: 96

Vitality: 1259

Strength: 247

Dexterity: 580

Equip: Increases maximum HP by 2,510.

Equip: Increases damage and healing rate by 3.5%

{Unidentified}

Level Requirement: 170

Soul Reaper set equipment: {Soul Reaper Mask}, {Soul Reaper Chest Plate}, Soul Reaper Arm Guard, {Soul Reaper Pants}, {Soul Reaper Boots}.

Three Set Effect: Increases damage and healing rate by 20%.

Five Set Effect: On every successful attack, grants a chance to increase Dexterity by 10% for 10 seconds. Effect cannot stack.

What a loot! The previous set equipment was a Cloth armor, and the next was a Leather armor! Perhaps, the last floor, Zhang Yang could find a Heavy Armor equipment!

There were a total of 15 towers in the vicinity and if he is lucky, he could farm two pieces of all the classes' equipment sets. Zhang Yang slobbered a little as he thought of the money that he could earn from gathering all the equipment!

Zhang Yang proceeded into the fourth floor and reached the end of the tower.

On the fourth floor, the monsters were different. That time, they were all knights riding on hell horses, clad in heavy armor. Their swords were slung behind their back and were scrapping the floor as they were as long as 3 meters.

[Warfront Death Knight] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 170

HP: 5,100,000

Defense: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,774 – 60,774

Skills:

[Death Strike: Deals a powerful strike on a target. Deals 100% melee physical attack. Has a 50% chance to deal 200% damage.

[War Stomp: Leads the horse and charge towards a target. Closes the gap between the target instantly and stuns the target for 1 seconds. Range: 3 – 10 meters.

Zhang Yang sighed with relief. Finally, the monster was not the kind that could cast any major debuffs on him. Sadly, as a compensation, the Death Knight were the kind that deals more damage than the rest of the monsters. Double damage was not something to be underestimated. If Zhang Yang is stupid enough to engage 10 Death Knights at once, he could be in deep trouble. If 10 of them activate their skills, 5 of them would have the chance to deal double damage. Even with Zhang Yang's steroid-pumped defense, he would take 250,000 damage all at once. That's 25% of his total HP.

It's too powerful to even be normal.

Alone, it would be impossible. Perhaps, if someone like God's Left Hand came up, paired with a healer behind, he would have the potential to survive. Sadly, even if he survives, he might not be able defeat the monsters. Surviving and defeating were two whole different things. To put it bluntly, God's Left Hand could not possibly produce damage that is as high as Zhang Yang. Even at his best, he would be much weaker than Zhang Yang.

With Felice and Phoenix supporting him, it looks like it would be a while before someone else could even match with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang started the battle with {Spear of Obliteration} and fought one monster to gauge its strength.

The Death Knight took the hit and charged towards Zhang Yang, stunning him for 1 seconds.

SHRING!

With lightning speed, the long blade behind his back was swung downward, cleaving Zhang Yang's neck, dealing 53,000 damage. That was the {Death Strike,} and it had managed to land a double damage!

Pfft! What luck…

Zhang Yang sighed heavily. After recovering from the stun, Zhang Yang laid down a barrage of attacks and took down the Death Knight in only half a minute. Similar to the previous monsters downstairs, the Death Knight had a handful of [Frost Inscribed Cloths].

Zhang Yang took a break to restore his HP after fighting three Death Knights. Zhang Yang was dissatisfied with the killing speed. If only Felice could obtain a healer form after the next seal is broken…Zhang Yang was not greedy. He would not ask something like Han Ying Xue's healing capability. In fact, if Felice could heal like any other common healers, Zhang Yang could then be a perpetual killing machine that does not need to reload nor refuel!

But, right now, Zhang Yang would have to play nice with the elite tiers.

While Zhang Yang was complaining he was too slow, the rest of the player could never reach his level of efficiency. In fact, the level of difficulty was so high that normal players would have to assemble a full team of DPS, tanks, and healers to engage the monster. Zhang Yang alone could kill three Death Knights before having to rest!

Fortunately, the number of Death Knights on the floor was not too much. In fact, Zhang Yang had taken close to 30 minutes to clear the entire floor. At the end of the floor, there was a mini-boss as well. Like the others, the floor boss was a captain of the monster. However, unlike the other floors, the boss was not guarding any entrances. He was sitting down behind a desk, writing on some sort of parchment.

If the annoying Wei Yan Er was there, she could have asked why and how could a Death Knight ride a horse inside a tower, and why would there be a captain writing something down? Zhang Yang could have answered with a simple reply. Shut your mouth and kill the boss. That's all there is to it!

[Warfront Death Knight Captain] (Mythical, Spectre)

Level: 175

HP: 8,750,000

Defense: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,822 – 60,822

Skills:

[Death Strike: Deals a powerful strike on a target. Deals 100% melee physical attack. Has a 40% chance to deal 200% damage, and a 10% chance to deal 300% damage.

[War Stomp: Leads the horse and charges towards a target. Closes the gap between the target instantly and stuns the target for 1 seconds. Range: 3 – 10 meters.

Although the boss' {Death Strike} was slightly upgraded, its normal attack was all too similar to that of the elite monsters. Even though the skill had a 10% chance to deal triple damage, it was only 10%! Perhaps the boss was fated to be a mediocre character in this map. At least, he had close to 9,000,000 HP, which suits a boss well.

Naturally, faced with a physical attack target, Zhang Yang had not need to hesitate to attack. Even though the boss had dealt triple damage attack several times, 100,000 damage was easily "dodge-able" with {Shield Wall}. With a quick {Shadow of the Void}, Zhang Yang had Felice replace him as the tank and killed the boss easily.

As expected, the boss dropped a set equipment that was of the Heavy Armor type.

[Death Conqueror Chest Plate] (Mythical, Heavy Armor)

Defense: 170

Vitality: 2519

Intelligence: 1160

Spirit: 514

Equip: Increases maximum MP by 2,320

Equip: Increases damage and healing rate by 3.5%

{Unidentified}

Level Requirement: 170

Death Conqueror Set Equipment: {Death Conqueror Helmet}, Death Conqueror Chest Plate, {Death Conqueror Armlet}, {Death Conqueror Greaves}.

Three Set Effect: Increases damage and healing rate by 20%.

Five Set Effect: After every successful casting, restore 10% MP of the spell's MP cost.

The chest plate was meant for a Sacred Knight. Perhaps, there should be one for a physical attack type like Zhang Yang. However, since the boss had only dropped one Mythical tier equipment, there were no more left to be found in the tower. However, there was still hope, perhaps he could find one that is suitable for him in the other tower.

Once the boss was killed, the parchment that he was writing on glowed. It was the system notifying the player, that the item as interactable.

'Ding! You have acquired a [Command Order]. Sadly, due to your rusty Spectre Language mastery, you cannot decipher any of the words written on the parchment. You should collect more [Command Orders] and report back to Gulaj. The Gnome has been in contact with the Spectre, since he had been doing business with them!'

Zhang Yang received the system notification when he picked up the parchment. As such, to finish the quest, Zhang Yang would have to go through all 15 towers, and 15 final floor bosses in order to collect all [Command Order]. It might be bothersome, but it was something Zhang Yang did not mind doing, since he could obtain a massive amount of experience points and equipment! On the other hand, it was not bothersome at all!

Zhang Yang went down to the ground floor and exited the first tower. He then headed to the second tower closest to him, and killed his way in.

The tower was compromised of basically the same kind of monster. The ground floor would have normal tiers, the second floor would be magic types, and the third floor would be the Leapers, and the fourth floor had the Death Knights. In summary, Zhang Yang would take close to 2 hours or more to clear one tower. 15 towers would take him 30 hours in total. Convert that to real time, and it would be a span of 8 hours.

Zhang Yang killed his way through all the tower and by the time he was done with the 11th tower, he stopped for a while and logged out to go back home. In his inventory, there was a Cloth Armor set equipment, Leather Armor set equipment, Heavy Armor set equipment, which was divided into three more types. Overall, the separated equipment was too cluttered in his inventory. It was messy. Zhang Yang had four defensive equipment and had two healing types, and two DPS types. There were even some that were the same kind, making it extremely difficult to farm a complete set by the time he was done with all the towers.

Chapter 727: The Proof is Here

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu Xin Mei was flustered. Her eyes were glued to the computer screen yet her attention was elsewhere.

She had been Zhang Yang's secretary for more than a month now, yet she failed to seduce the man himself. She failed to capture the moment when Zhang Yang tried to take advantage of her. After so long of letting herself go, Zhang Yang had never once even tried to make a move on her. As such, she was beginning to think that the man might be a eunuch! How else could she explain it when Zhang Yang was not even remotely interested in touching six super-hot, super sexy, super model secretaries! Could there be such a modest man in this century?!

It would not be true. Perhaps, was he trying to over compensate himself for not being able to pitch a tent, by hiring six hot boodilicious babes to follow him? What was going on!?

Liu Xin Mei sighed. She was not concerned about Zhang Yang's well-being but rather her own mission. She could not get what she wanted. Young Master Hua had already given her a deadline, which was half a month. However, Liu Xin Mei had been "working" for Zhang Yang for more than a month! She had been in contact with Zhong Xiu Hua a few days back and the man had already expressed his displeasure with her work. If she stalls her mission any longer, she might be replaced by someone else who could get a man to work up a sweat!

Liu Xin Mei finally averted her gaze from the computer screen. Frustrated at her own failure. It was rather dull, Zhong Xiu Hua's plan, that is. However, blackmailing was supposed to be direct and simple. Convoluted plans will only be messy and might not be as effective. The oldest method of blackmailing was always the best at doing their job. It's because it was the best at it, hence, that was why many had ended up using them. It does not matter what Zhong Xiu Hua wants with it, as long as she gets her hands on it.

It was a recording, a piece of evidence that Liu Xin Mei could use against Zhang Yang. A scene where Zhang Yang is trying to or is actually doing a girl other than his girl. Zhong Xiu Hua would then release the recording the day Eternal Flame finally defeats Lone Desert Smoke. One was to obtain all the fortunes of Lone Desert Smoke, and the second was to obtained Sun Xin Yu's heart. He would be the one that wins it all.

Liu Xin Mei pushed her chair back and scooted over to peek at Zhang Yang's office. She grinned. She had found a way around the mission. It would be to record Zhang Yang cheating on someone. It does not need to be specifically her. Hence, she had no need to sacrifice her own chastity in order to do so!

Over the past month, she had made full use of her own overtime duration. When Zhang Yang leaves the office, she would stay back with the excuse of work and planted hidden cameras all around Zhang Yang office. The cameras were in place so well that she could capture every angle from above. She had even invested in the best miniature cameras. The camera can capture video in UMHDR mode. The recordings would be so clear that you could practically zoom in to check the person's nostrils hair!

Yesterday, she had even placed a bottle of red wine in his office wine cabinet that was laced with drugs. Not typical drugs, but a high concentration aphrodisiac! The concoction she had picked was better than the rest. It does not induce a sudden unexplainable rush of horny-ness. Instead, it builds up over time and will push the individual into a beast with a raging sex drive!

The dosage she had laced the wine with was enough to make an impotent man poke his pole to the heavens. Liu Xin Mei was sure that Zhang Yang would not be able to sit still after drinking a single cup! Especially, when six bootylicious babes where always trying their best to have Zhang Yang take a peek at their overly exposed meat!

Liu Xin Mei had even prayed that the role would not be her, since the dosage she had mixed into the wine was so strong that Zhang Yang would be able to ram a sow till its pregnant! If she is the one getting humped, she might not be able to walk for several days! Heck, she might even take up the bed for the entire week!

That sort of treatment should only befall to those sly minxes!

Liu Xin Mei grinned. They say that a woman's jealousy could start a world war. Especially if the reason was another woman being better than her! She was, naturally, referring to Cheng Xue Yao. Cheng Xue Yao had indirectly become the office's goddess. Her presence alone was enough to make all men's eyes glued to her. She would receive a crap ton of love letters to make a book! The flowers she received on her desk every morning was enough for her to open a flower shop!

Hence, the sense of jealousy that had built up over the month had Liu Xin Mei wishing that Cheng Xue Yao would be the one getting f*cked silly.

…

"Beep!"

The fax machine came alive and started to print out several documents. Zhang Yang was still in his office, packing his stuff and was ready to leave when he noticed the documents. He picked them up and glance at them. Immediately, he smiled.

The documents were from Zhang Yang's private investigator. The reports were all about the backgrounds of Cheng Xue Yao and Liu Xin Mei. After a thorough investigation, Liu Xin Mei's background was extremely plain. She had been through junior school, all the way to university and graduated with flying colors. All work posts she had been in was too plain to even noticed. In short, all she had was her looks and her brains.

On the other hand, Cheng Xue Yao's background was extremely interesting. Her father was Jing State's police officer while her mother was working in Liu Industry's as an accountant. It was the same company that that bastard Liu Wei owned. Four years ago, Liu Wei was charged with rape. However, the victim was unable to hire a private lawyer hence, she had resorted to the public prosecutor instead. The case was handled by Cheng Xue Yao's father personally. Mr. Cheng was a man of justice. Even though Mr. Cheng was known to the Liu family and many other higher officers, he had placed impartial judgment on Liu Wei and investigated the case thoroughly. Eventually, he had succeeded in uncovering many of Liu Wei's hidden crimes and managed to collect a whole load of evidence to use against him. At the same time, Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Xue Yao mother's had audited the accounts Liu Wei's company and found many mistakes in the accounting. She too, had collected evidence that could be used to charge Liu Wei.

However, the Liu Industry was Jing State's powerhouse. They were not someone like the Chengs who would topple over easily. Facing with such a disadvantage, Mr. Cheng had resorted to contacting his superior officer. During then, the Deputy Major of Jing State was Luo Xi Yuan.

Sadly, unknown to Mr. Cheng, Luo Xi Yuan was already in Liu Wei's payroll. He was already convoluting with the Liu family since the beginning. On the surface, he had convinced Mr. Cheng that they will bring down the Liu family with the hammer of justice. However, under the table, he had already contacted the Liu family about the evidence. Eventually, when both Mr. and Mrs. Cheng had submitted all the evidence to Luo Xi Yuan, they were both involved in a fatal "accident" on their way back home.

When the incident occurred, Cheng Xue Yao was still studying overseas. When she returned to the mainland, she disappeared without a trace. The private investigator that Zhang Yang hired had deduced that Mr. and Mrs. Cheng had contingency plans. They wanted their daughter to be kept out of reach from the poisonous fangs of the Liu family. He also guessed that they had kept the original evidence somewhere safe. Hence, he had tried to search for Cheng Xue Yao himself, but failed to do so. He added that Cheng Xue Yao and he had made contact before Zhang Yang had requested the investigation. He was genuinely surprised when Zhang Yang sent her photo!

Zhang Yang read the report thoroughly and made his own conclusion. Perhaps Cheng Xue Yao had managed to trace the investigate backward and found Zhang Yang himself. As a result, she had thought to investigate the person holding Zhang Yang's lease and have herself to "infiltrate" behind the enemy's line. That was probably the reason why she had turned up to become Zhang Yang's secretary.

They say, that the best hiding spot was where your enemy would never expect it! Who would have thought they the person they seek was merely disguised in plain sight!

"Hoho. Now I understand. It looks like she has a grudge against the Liu family. No wonder she is always trying to get on my nerves and ask me about Liu Wei! She might reveal her true self to me if I could prove that my vengeance with Liu Wei runs deep as well! Maybe, she could join forces with me to fight Liu Wei…Could it be…that she has the evidence to all of Liu family's crime?"

Zhang Yang widened his eyes with delight. The Liu family had barricaded themselves well by being the powerhouse of Jing State. To dig out the past without consequences would be hard without Liu Wei finding out. As such, although both of Cheng Xue Yao's parents had succeeded, it had been at the cost of their own lives.

"It's time for you to die." Zhang Yang grinned.

"Kok kok kok!"

Someone was knocking on the door and after two seconds, the door was opened gently. Cheng Xue Yao walked in slowly with elegance and the utmost lustful stature. She smiled and addressed Zhang Yang. "Mr. Zhang Yang. I'm moving to a new place today. I would like to invite you to my house-warming party!"

Zhang Yang clenched his fist tightly to resist her charm. That woman was so elusive yet alluring! No wonder she could become someone of importance. If Liu Wei finds her, she might only end up being his plaything!

If Zhang Yang had not received the investigation report, he might have even considered planning his life with her in the equation. This precious creature's magnetism was just too strong! Even Zhang Yang himself could not be certain that he would not do something to her!

However, now that he had the new-found knowledge about Cheng Xue Yao, he felt some sort of connection with her. A different kind. He could even have her working side by side together to topple the Liu family! However, in order to do so, he must get his hands on the evidence that she had, hence, he must play well with her.

Zhang Yang smiled back. "Sure thing! I must say, this is a little too last minute. I have no time to even get you a present!"

"I have no need of such things. It would be the best present if Mr. Zhang could be there!" said Cheng Xue Yao happily.

Zhang Yang snapped his fingers and recalled something. He walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine. "I cannot have you leave empty-handed. Perhaps this bottle of wine should suffice?"

"1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild! I cannot possibly accept that! It costs more than my yearly salary!"

"Please. It's pocket change to me. Take it and let's go!"

The two left the office. Liu Xin Mei had left the office earlier than them. If she had not, she would be terribly upset seeing that Zhang Yang had taken away the bottle that she had "implanted" in his office with every tool and gadget in his office! Even if Zhang Yang and Cheng Xue Yao banged each other brains out to the roof, there will be no proof!

Cheng Xue Yao had her own car, so did Zhang Yang. With her taking the lead, she drove forward with Zhang Yang following closely behind. She drove around Zhou Su City and reached to her own place within a few minutes.

Her place was not of the ordinary. It was a hotel styled apartment. She lived on the 24th floor. Both of them took the lift quietly and arrive at her doorsteps. Her apartment was not too big, yet it was furnished grandly. The best thing about her apartment which Zhang Yang liked and hated the most was the scenery of the entire Zhou Su City.

Zhang Yang had not invited anyone else, hence, when Zhang Yang had asked, she merely gave vague answers. Cheng Xue Yao excused herself to the kitchen to pour the wine into proper cups.

From the corner of the kitchen, Cheng Xue Yao peeked into the living room, watching on Zhang Yang as he watched the scenery with a complicated expression on his face. At that moment, without Zhang Yang noticing, Cheng Xue Yao took out a pack of white power and poured it into one of the wine cups.

"You may be secretive Mr. Zhang, but this Truth Serum will have you reveal everything you have! Hmph! You cannot hide everything there Mr. Zhang. Hm…hm…hm…" Cheng Xue Yao poured the wine and mixed it thoroughly. "Drinking this would not cause any harm, but you will feel intense headache for a few days. That's for being so secretive with me!"

Poor Zhang Yang had no idea what was coming at him. The same cup of wine was laced with extreme aphrodisiac and now Cheng Xue Yao had even added in the Truth Serum! It was unclear whether the two chemicals would react with each other to produce something that could make Zhang Yang a complete idiot or the embodiment of lust itself!

Cheng Xue Yao herself was oblivious to the fact that Liu Xin Mei had purposely added a concentrated dosage to make Zhang Yang as powerful as a bull, since she suspected that Zhang Yang had a problem with his junior!

With the two glasses of wine in her hand, she waltzed gracefully to the window and offered Zhang Yang the one that was laced with the Truth Serum. She then cheered and said, "To your health Mr. Zhang."

"To your happiness. Miss Cheng."

Surely enough, something big was going to happen that night. Real big.

Chapter 728: Everything Out

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Cheng Xue Yao took the chance to toast Zhang Yang and both of them gulped down the entire content of the cup in a single gulp. If any bartender sees the two gulped down the exquisite wine like cheap booze, he would have flipped out and taken the bottle of wine for himself.

"Mr. Zhang…Can I ask you a question?" asked Cheng Xue Yao with a grin. The alcohol had started to work up all the way to her cheeks. In fact, both Zhang Yang and Cheng Xue Yao were dyed in red.

"Ask away!" said Zhang Yang. He was beginning to feel the effect of the wine in him and felt wavey and tipsy. It got so hard to concentrate on anything at all, that any word that came out of his own mouth was forgotten immediately.

"What is your name?"

"*hick* My name? Hehe. Zhang…wait for it…Yang! Zhang Yang."

"Who are your parents?"

"My parents? Lets…see…they are nobody. Their names are Zhang Xian Yu, and Fang Li!"

"Who do you love most?"

"Ho ho…I would have to say…The witchy snow, and the ice cube!"

Two of them? What a pervert! Cheng Xue Yao clicked her tongue with disgust. Still, she was happy enough to know that the drug was working. Zhang Yang will then reveal any secret that he had inside and will not even remember what happened in between it! She had used it once when she had met with the private investigator Zhang Yang had hired. The poor man had drunk a cup of coffee laced with the Truth Serum and told everything about his client!

"What grudge do you have with Liu Wei!? Are you playing? Are you just putting an act of hostility but are merely following his orders?"

"Liu Wei…? The son of a b*tch? I want to collect any kind of evidence that can be used against that f*cker! And I could do it by having Cheng Xue Yao handing me the evidence! After that, I will send him and his entire nest of vipers down the drains!"

Cheng Xue Yao was stunned. "How did you know that Cheng Xue Yao had any evidence?"

"Hehe. It's just a guess. I'm not sure either!"

Cheng Xue Yao frowned. She knew that Zhang Yang was not telling a lie, but the answer he gave had only made her suspicions of Zhang Yang being not sure himself. She continued to ask more question until she had finally dug out the truth. Zhang Yang was not a puppet of Liu Wei! He in fact, bore a deep grudge with the man and wished nothing but destruction upon him!

She asked more specific questions about the names of Liu Wei's associate but gained no sort of information about them. She had even asked more and more questions until she was sure that Zhang Yang and Liu Wei was like water and oil. However, there was a part which she could never understood properly. She asked about details of Liu Wei and how he had wronged Zhang Yang. She understood the part where a certain name named Lin Yu was forcefully taken away from her and had his guild disbanded. However, the odd question was about the time and place. He said he had once played 'God's Miracle' in his past life. He had even said something about Liu Wei and him dying together by jumping off a building!

That fact was rather intriguing but not of importance. Cheng Xue Yao only wanted to know that Liu Wei was his enemy and not an ally!

She continued to pour more of the expensive liquid into their cups and made Zhang Yang drink the entire bottle to reduce the suspicious. She sat down by his side and tried to sober up herself. Although she had only drunk one cup of wine, the alcohol in it was strong enough to intoxicate her to a certain degree. The effect of the Truth Serum will fade quickly. In fact, it would only last for roughly an hour after consumption. The headache and dizziness will soon come after.

She sat down, staring at the scenery of Zhou Su City, when she felt a heat wave rising from beneath her womb. It was unexplainable. Something was happening in her, which felt all too familiar. Her lady part was drenched! Both man and woman were the same. Don't let any member of the opposite gender tell you otherwise. When they have the sudden urge to do it, they will solve it with each other or alone nonetheless. She had only lived to bring down the Liu family and had even needed to keep herself off the grid. She had no time to spare for a love life. Hence, when the urge comes to her, she will either use a flexible cucumber, or solve it herself with her own fingers.

At that moment, she felt the same urge, but it was several times more intense! It was so strong that she would not mind having any man scratch the itch! When the indecent thought popped out in her mind, she felt an intense embarrassment. However, that had only enhanced the need in her! She had to do something to get rid of it!

"What is going on!?" Cheng Xue Yao had merely touched her expanding clit and felt a surge of pleasure that sent her back arching up!

At then, Zhang Yang woke up. It felt like a truck had rammed his head. The intense pain and the sensation of memory loss was not a pleasant wake-up call. However, there was a consolation prize for him. Lying down beside him was the girl who had invited him over to his house. She was moaning intensely with both her hands sneakily caressing her chest and hoohhaah. Her lips and cheek were moist, covered with both drooling saliva and glistering sweat that seemed to drench her clothes.

He was not in control of his actions. It felt like his body was being steered by pure instinct alone and his consciousness was being pushed to the backseat of a car! However, after much effort, he managed to take control of his own actions. His thoughts came back and managed to talked some sense into him. The aphrodisiac is not a drug that will affect a person's psyche. It will only amplify a person's want for sex by 10 to 100 fold, depending on the person's will. Even if it was just a glass of wine, Cheng Xue Yao had taken enough dosage herself to made her incredibly horny! In fact, both of them were!

Zhang Yang steeled his mind and reasoned with himself to not just tackle the woman and devour her like how he devoured Yu Li!

However, just because he was able to control himself now, does not mean that he could keep the angelic side of him victorious. The effect of the drug had only just kicked in, after 30 minutes or 1 hour, the effect will reach its peak performance, turning any man into a crazy bull on steroids. Like a certain advertisement, the bulls with wings!

The two of them realized what they were careening into just then, and tried their best to be in control. As such, Zhang Yang started to engage in boring conversation to "break" the mood. However so, their eyes were constantly glued to the other's sensitive parts. As much they could deny it, they were so enthralled!

"Argh…It's it just me? Or is it getting kinda hot in here?" said Cheng Xue Yap as she wiped away her sweat and fanned herself with her hands. However, only one would know what was going on with oneself. She tried to leave, wanting to get away from her potential victim. She stood up but her legs failed her completely. With a gentle thud, she fell down on the carpet floor.

Zhang Yang instantly moved towards her and tried to lift her up. However, the moment when the two of them touched each other, an intense spark of heat burst out. The two of them glued their eyes together and kissed each other.

At first, it was merely a light touch of the lips. However, Cheng Xue Yao could no longer contain herself. She moans at the sudden warmness that attacked her lips and she craved for more. After one simple kiss, she planted her tongue in his mouth. Her constant moan of pleasure intoxicated Zhang Yang. His hands moved on their own and slithered underneath her blouse and played with her breasts. Lo and behold, she did not resist it. No. In fact, she welcomed Zhang Yang's rough hands. She had even guided his hands to her peaks and cupped her hands on his.

Cheng Xue Yao's assets were as good as Han Ying Xue. In fact, hers might be even better. The softness of them was so pleasurable that Zhang Yang could not remove his hands from Cheng Xue Yao's chest! Which one of his hands were busy with her chest, his other hand acted on its own as well. Swiftly, he unlatched her lower skirt and pulled down her thongs. With experience, Zhang Yang knew where to slide his hands in. His did not need to even look as he traced his hands from her hips down to her buttocks and slowly made his way to the frontal forest of pleasure that had been flooded for god knows how long! With a gentle, fluid motion, Zhang Yang slid one of his fingers into her cave.

"AHHHH~ I'M-I'M--I'M COMING!" Cheng Xue Yao moaned like a lioness and hugged Zhang Yang tightly.

"Woman. I need your help as well…Please…help me solve this…" said Zhang Yang as he removed Cheng Xue Yao's fair hands off his shoulders and have them greet with Zhang Yang Jr.

"Will it be enough with just my hands?" Cheng Xue Yao asked yet she acted on her own without even waiting for a response. The two of them stopped talking and started to allow their actions to do the talking.

Cheng Xue Yao wrapped her soft hands gently around the stiff rod and stroke it with the right amount of pressure.

Once….twice…trice…and Zhang Yang had unloaded his cream on Cheng Xue Yao's face. Unlike the witchy snow and the ice cube, Cheng Xue Yao did not even react in disgust. In fact, she licked the droplets off her hand with her tongue. The lustful expression on her face only amplified Zhang Yang power. Just as junior there was about to have his rest, Zhang Yang himself had sent a powerful wave to it and make it stand strong again!

As the moon hung high in the night sky, the two of them were entwined together in opposite directions. Zhang Yang's head was buried in between Cheng Xue Yao's thighs, while Cheng Xue Yao was busy with Zhang Yang's groin. After Zhang Yang had lost count the times Cheng Xue Yao swallowed his load, the atmosphere in her house finally calmed down. The two of them took turns to wash themselves and dress up. It was extremely awkwardly for the two of them afterwards.

It was, after all, a sudden, mysterious call for lust. Although Zhang Yang had not pounded the punnani pumps, what they did was, at an extremely grey area which was almost touching the black part.

By the end of route 69, both of them had concluded that something in the wine had made them that way. However, it would not matter if they find out what was it. What matters most then would be how they are going to solve that awkward tension.

"I'm guessing that you have something with you. Some sort of evidence that can be used to bring down Liu Wei and his nest of vipers?" Zhang Yang decided to drop the act and started to engage with the serious topic.

Cheng Xue Yao had understood that Zhang Yang was not Liu Wei's accomplice, hence, there was no reason to continue her act. She nodded. "You must have investigated who I am? No? You've guessed right. A few years ago, when both my parents had submitted the evidence, they kept the original copy somewhere safe. When I came back from my overseas studies, I was handed a will. However, the will that the lawyers gave me was strange. Eventually, I found the real will. Before my parents had passed away, they left me a message, revealing what they did."

"I understand that. However, I need you to listen to me now. Please give me the evidence, so that I can be the one dropping the hammer of justice."

"I understand. I'm not someone who can simply lift the hammer of justice without any consequences. Very well. I shall hand over the evidence to you. It's currently kept safe in the bank's vault. I'll deliver them to you tomorrow."

Now that the two of them had confirmed each other's identities and affiliation, they had no need to beat around the bush any longer. However, after they ended their serious conversation, the awkwardness in the air returned.

"…Erhm…It's getting late now. I better get back home," said Zhang Yang as he grew uneasy.

"Ah. Yes. There's the door."

After taking off, Cheng Xue Yao's calm composure broke down. She sat at the sofa where they had just sucked each other off and hugged herself, crying. "What a bastard! He almost had me! How could he just leave me hanging like this! Pervert! Fool! Useless scum! He has two women at home and so many secretaries at work! Why would he pick me for!"

With rage, she stomped on the floor with all her might but ended up hurting herself.

"Just you wait. After we have dealt with the Liu family, I shall have your head as well!"

…

When Zhang Yang came back home, it was already 2 past midnight. Even though he had called them to inform about his lateness, his time of arrival was too late that both Sun Xin Yu and Han Ying Xue were both suspicious of him. Furthermore, there was the lingering scent of Cheng Xue Yao's womanly scent latching on his entire body. Hence, without any effort to hide it, Zhang Yang told the truth of what had happened to him.

Luckily, the two women were rather understanding. He was drugged and had no power to resist the unknown urge.

After being scolded by the two babes, they punished him in bed and gave him a warning to leave Cheng Xue Yao alone. Never again should he ever get too close to that woman.

Naturally, he knew that Cheng Xue Yao had no reason to drug him. That leaves the other five secretaries as possible suspects. But then again, when all five of them were suspicious, four of the senior secretaries were loyal to him, since they were there even when old man Wei was still alive and kicking. That shortens the number down to one. Liu Xin Min. Even though her background was clean, it could be manufactured easily with the right people. As such, the arrowhead now points to Zhong Xiu Hua alone. With his connection and circle of powerful people, that sort of task would be nothing but a walk in the park. He had the objective and the motive to do so. When a man would do something as extreme as to break the law just to get the love of his life, it would be unacceptable. Sun Xin Yu would never forgive such a man!

Right then, without proof, there was nothing that he could do. But then again, Zhang Yang was not an officer of the law, suspicions alone was more than enough to make a person to act. He shall let someone check his office at work for anything suspicious and have Liu Xin Min be kidnapped somewhere until he finds out the real truth about her. If nothing turns up, he would let her go. If something is found, he would then try to use her against Zhong Xiu Hua!

Zhang Yang took off his clothe and laid down on his bed. He took the gaming helmet, put it on, and sleep. The sucky sucky session with Cheng Xue Yao had placed a toll on him, that he was sore all over. Most importantly, the massive headache was still assaulting him!

Chapter 729: Destruction of the Mithril Refinery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After logging into the game, Zhang Yang continued to raid the four remaining towers. After spending close to 10 hours or so, Zhang Yang cleared all the tower and headed back to White Jade Castle to report to Gulaj.

Although the quest had taken close to 30 hours, the rewards that he reaped were rather worth their while. Equipment alone was already worth a crap ton of coins. There were 3 complete sets of Cloth Armor type, 2 complete sets of Leather armor type, and 1 complete set of a Heavy Armor type. There were still 15 random equipment that could make up 3 sets which will end up leaving 6 pieces of equipment to spare.

Even though they were only Mythical tier, having a set equipment was still worth a lot of gold coins, even though they were not the strongest equipment around these days. It would be worth a lot more to those set equipment hoarders! If the equipment is the right one, the price of it could reach as high as a few hundreds of thousands.

Zhang Yang waltzed his way casually, instead of rushing his way towards the Explorer's Hall to submit his quest to Gulaj.

"I see…Ho…Very interesting indeed!" said Gulaj as he examined the reports from Zhang Yang. After he had read all the reports that Zhang Yang had given him, Gulaj crossed his arms and calmly addressed the matter to Zhang Yang. "It would seem that the Spectres have obtained an ancient magic created by the God of Darkness himself. It has something to do with producing a secret weapon called the Darkness Falls.

'Ding! You have completed a quest: The Spectre's Secret. Obtained 5,000,000 Experience Points, 100 Military Points!'

Zhang Yang asked, "Gulaj, could you give a little more information about Darkness Fall?"

The greenish little Goblin raised his head and turned around. "It is common knowledge that all Spectre are afraid of the light. The fire in the sky. Or as they called it, the Right Eye of the Benevolent God. As all Spectre are an atrocity to the gods, in daylight, their powers would plummet. In fact, they could only cough out 60% to 80% of their true strength."

Gulaj took a chair, sat on it and lit up a smoking pipe before continuing. "Understanding their weakness is part of my job. And so are their strengths. When the sun sets and the moon rises, the Spectre can fight at their full power. Darkness Fall is their ultimate weapon for a good reason. It is not something that will directly destroy the world. No it's far worse than that. It a magic barrier that will encase the all land, preventing the sun from casting its rays onto the earth. The land will lose all its warmth. Darkness Fall, is what the name literally meant. Darkness shall befall the earth for all eternity, stripping away all warmth and light. The earth shall decay and the Spectre shall prosper with all their might."

Gulaj sucked in a puff of smoke and finished the pipe in a single suck. "There's something else. Darkness Fall has the ability to turn soulless corpse as their own. Use your bucket head and think carefully about what I just said. If Darkness Fall gets activated, all who have perished in the world will rise. Think of all the past heroes and legendary warrior rising up, only joining the Spectres! Could you imagine Ares the God of War raising his sword against all of life?"

Clearly, Darkness Fall was not some menial quest.

"Hm. I understand the depths of the situation. Tell me, has Darkness Fall been successfully built?"

"Sigh…You're the same as those powerful warriors that are all muscle and no brain! If the Spectres have managed to build the Darkness Fall, would I be here still talking to you?" said Gulaj with an annoyed expression.

"A simple no would suffice," said Zhang Yang with a straight face. "So, it is not completed yet. Either that or it is not activated just yet. If I could destroy that thing. I would still save the land."

"Hahaha! Destroy it? Boy, are you far too ambitious for your age. Still, I applaud your bravery and kindness. If you want to destroy it, you best make haste now. I have scouted the Spectres and they are doing some shady activities lately. I suspect that the construction of Darkness Fall has almost reached its completion stage. That is probably the main reason behind the recent Spectre attacks."

Gulaj hops off the chair and crossed his arms again. "Warrior. You have my trust. I hereby bestow on you a crucial mission for the sake of all beings that lives and breathes. Head over to Ryu Ayer Castle and strike them at their source. Hidden behind the stone walls is a large Mithril Refinery. It takes a large quantity of Mithril to construct Darkness Fall. If you could disrupt their resource production, they could never even finish the construction! Imagine having a massive sailing ship without its deck!"

'Ding! Gulaj has a quest for you: Destroy the Mithril Refinery. Will you accept it?'

[Destroy the Mithril Refinery] (Difficulty Level: S)

Description: Gulaj has entrusted the task of destroying the refinery in Ryu Ayer Castle to place a halt to the production of Mithril which was crucial to the construction of Darkness Fall. Warrior, Ryu Ayer Castle is heavily fortified by Spectre. To protect the refinery the Spectre had increased defense in and out of the castle. You cannot do this alone.

Progress: Destroy the Mithril Refinery

Participant Limit: 10

Reward: Experience Points 10,000,000 Military Points: 500

'Ding! You have received a quest item: Goblin's High Explosive Bomb – 3rd Gen. Prototype x 1!'

500 Military Points?! That much?! What more, the quest could be shared with 9 more players! However, those who had not yet reached Level 160 could not initiate the Spectre Invasion quest. Even if Zhang Yang is to recruit Han Ying Xue and Sun Xin Yu, they could only help out but not receive any quest rewards, even after completion.

No! This cannot be allowed. 500 Military Points was a large number that could not be ignored. 5 Military Points could hire one normal tier soldier. Elite tier soldiers would cost 100 Military points. 500 Military points could be exchanged for 100 normal tier soldiers or 5 elite tier soldiers! It's so precious that Zhang Yang could not ignore it!

Zhang Yang was stunned. He stopped his tracks and went into deep thought. Since the quest does not have a limited time, and the reward is already fixed to begin with, Zhang Yang decided to postpone the quest until his core members had reached Level 160. Until then, he will be doing side quests and earning menial amounts of Military Points.

Hundred Shot's Red Dragon and Fatty Han's Phoenix were godly grinding aides. However, their prowess can only be emphasized when there is a sea of monsters. Although they could still kill individual monsters at a faster rate than normal players, it was not much to be accounted more. After all, multi-target killing is their specialty.

The problem then, was most of the hunting grounds were occupied with many players. If Zhang Yang was to forcefully conquer a zone for himself, he would have to sortie his guild to do so. Even though Lone Desert Smoke was capable of such a feat, it would not be worth the time and effort of doing so. What more, it would only be an act of self-sabotage.

In the end, it will always come down to the same problem in any MMORPG game. The more the players are, the lesser monsters there will be for everyone.

There was another way to gain levels fast. That is, to fight in dungeons, over and over again. However, at their average level then, a Level 140 dungeon's monsters would have Level 155 monsters as the highest. Players who have reached a higher level will only receive reduced monster experience points. However so, the rate will definitely be higher than chasing after monsters in an open-field.

If Zhang Yang is to take the First Clear Achievement of the Death Abyss Grouped Dungeon, he would not fight in the War Canyon, anymore. However, it was still an undecided choice. War Canyons do have their fun. Players could use their Transformation there to fight a large number of strong players. Even though China can never place their footing on the first place, they were always moving up and down at the second and third place. At the very least, they could try the normal mode.

As for grinding, there was no need to go for the Hardcore mode since the entry limit was once every seven days. It would be good to farm some strong equipment there. As for experience points, normal mode would suffice, since the monsters were easier than normal and secondly, they could repeat the dungeon as many times as they want.

As such, Han Ying Xue and everyone else formed a party and raided the normal mode of the Death Swamp dungeon to quickly reach Level 160. All the effort invested into grinding was just to reach Level 160 to qualify for the Spectre Invasion quest.

After sleeping soundly for one night, Zhang Yang came to the office the next day with a heavy heart. Cheng Xue Yao was not present. She had only left him a message saying that she will leave to An Jing City to retrieve the evidence. It would take close to a week to travel back and forth.

Zhang Yang took the message and placed it aside for now. The bridge is closing in, and it was almost time for him to cross it to meet his foe. As much as Cheng Xue Yao's dignity, if something were to turn up wrongly, he will take her in as his women. As much as scoldings from the two lionesses at home, he will take it willingly and earnestly. At that moment, he was greatly torn. In one hand, he had a chance to have the exquisite woman, on the other hand, he already had two lionesses at home who loved him dearly. The conflict in him only made him guilty.

Again, he will cross that bridge when he gets to it. For now, he would need to solve some other stuff. Zhang Yang sent a professional to check the office. Lo and behold, they found a total of 27 hidden cameras. According to the professionals, those were extremely expensive, and top-quality cameras that spy agencies would use! When Zhang Yang knew about, an unknown rage boiled up in his stomach. It was extremely fortunate that he had been a good boy in the office and had never even touched them once! What could happen if he is caught during the act!?

As such, Zhang Yang called Fatty Han to the office and planned an abduction. After working hours, Zhang Yang had Fatty Han sabotage Liu Xin Min's car and abducted her after. They brought her to a hidden, soundproof room. Zhang Yang blindfolded her, muffled her hearings, and even used voice changing tools to change his own voice to hide his identity. The interrogation starts and ended rather quicker than expected.

The fear of the unknown is humanity greatest threat. Not knowing what that is going to happen will send a person into mental stress. Liu Xin Min was unable to see, hear, nor make any noise as the time slowly passed by. She was not someone trained to overcome the stress. Heck, if she is Charlie's Angel, she would have escaped the room in a heartbeat. In fact, Zhang Yang did not need to do anything at all. All he did was left her there for one night and she had caved in immediately.

Liu Xin Min had revealed everything that she knew about her employer to Zhang Yang. After confirming about the true enemy, Zhang Yang removed the blindfold and revealed himself to her. Naturally, she was both angry and shocked. However, when Zhang Yang had released her restraints and allowed her to leave, the women refused to leave his side. She spouted something about Zhong Xiu Hua being a man that would never allow loose ends to roam free. Especially after being caught. As she is to go back home and act as if nothing has happened, she will be "taken care" of.

Zhang Yang remained unfazed and unmoved. However, Fatty Han always had a soft spot for a woman begging for help. As such, Liu Xin Min's sharp eyes had brought her to Fatty Han's legs and pleaded him instead. Failing to resist her charms, Fatty Han had agreed to lend a hand whilst posing like a hero to save the damsel in distress.

Zhang Yang was fine with it. He had no objection to whatever that Fatty Han does. On the other hand, with Sun Xin Yu on the line, Zhang Yang could never end the hostility towards Zhong Xiu Hua. Since the man had taken his first step, Zhang Yang shall do the same. If not, he will only be treated as a fool. It is all a game of chess, then. Like Chess, if someone has moved their Bishop to a position to kill his King, he must do something to block it. As such, he allowed Fatty Han, his "Knight" to distract the opponent by taking out the pawn. Although that would not do much damage to Zhong Xiu Hua, it does help divert his attention.

Fatty Han had arranged a hidden place to live in Zhou Su City and had Liu Xin Min to live there for some time. It was a good plan to have her at his side, since there was still valuable information that he could get out of her. The woman had been tangled with Zhong Xin Hua for so years, so there would definitely be something that would be useful to him.

There was just one thing that bugged Zhang Yang, Zhong Xiu Hua was not Liu Wei. If Zhang Yang does manage to collect evidence to use against Zhong Xiu Hua, they could only solve this quietly. It was all the same for him as well. If Zhong Xiu Hua wants to strike Zhang Yang, he would have to do it covertly to avoid Sun Xin Yu. If the two great political families clashed, it would be something far worse than an all-out war in 'God's Miracle'.

As events reached to a certain point where Zhang Yang could not extract any more useful information from Liu Xin Min, Zhang Yang then placed his focus on the game to collect more Military Points, whilst waiting patiently for Cheng Xue Yao to return from An Jing City.

In a few days later, Zhang Yang was doing his work in his office when he received a video call. The man in the screen was slightly older than Zhang Yang had anticipated and was rather handsome. The man had a cold yet mature aura around him. When Zhang Yang picked up the call, the other side did not speak. He merely stared at Zhang Yang and hung up after a quiet scoff.

Without a doubt, the man was Zhong Xiu Hua!

The man knew something was odd when Liu Xin Min had not contacted him for a while and decided to reveal his face to Zhang Yang. It was a message. A message to tell Zhang Yang that he was unfazed and unscathed at what Zhang Yang had managed to do. The man was too self-centered and was ridiculously confident. That was what Zhang Yang saw in the man. With Sun Xin Yu as his ultimate Aegis, if the two of them were to have a war with each other, it would only be limited to the game. Zhang Yang smiled. He may not be a genius in politics and business, but he could at least handle three Zhong Xiu Huas at the same time in the game!

Chapter 730: Skeletal Smith

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

One week later, Cheng Xue Yao returned to Zhou Su City. However, after delivering the documents to Zhang Yang, she disappeared immediately without giving Zhang Yang a chance to redeem himself. Zhang Yang only managed to catch a glimpse of her back as she left the building in a hurry. If there was something he could do, he would. But then again, he had already obtained the major piece that he required to complete his next task.

After that, he only passed the documents to Sun Xin Yu and let her work her magic on it.

Liu family had established themselves for a long time had amassed more than hundreds of millions of fortune. They had connected themselves to the network of officials in Jing State. It would not be easy to topple over the Liu family, especially since their fate was connected to the Jing State. It was not just the economy, but the magistrate itself, since corrupted politicians like Luo Xi Yuan will be brought down to their knees.

Hence, even with Sun Xin Yu's background, there was no way that such a feat could be completed within a few days. It would, in fact, required tremendous planning and execution which would consume more than two to three months! At most, the entire Liu family would be gone from the map in half a year's time. That, and a proper aftermath clean up. Sun Xin Yu had to be prepared for the worse or Jing State will plummet into a massive state of chaos.

Anything related to politics was not Zhang Yang's forte. Hence, he had Sun Xin Yu handle the mess and waited patiently.

When he was thinking about Liu Wei, naturally, the subject of Lin Yu came up as well. Zhang Yang foresaw that right then, she had probably just entered the game. Should he pursue the girl that he loved in his past life? He had two women that he truly loved dearly then. Again, there was a conflict stirring up in his mind. In the end, Zhang Yang had steeled his decision not to interfere with her life. Since Lin Yu would not remember anything, he best leave her alone. Forget the past and forge a new future. Perhaps…it would be for the best for the two of them.

It was already the middle of November when Endless Starlight, the last member in the party reached Level 160. Zhang Yang gave everyone a good day off to prep themselves for the Spectre Invasion quest.

It has been three months since Zhang Yang had reached Level 160, and the system had launched the Spectre Invasion event. It was rather slow then, and Zhang Yang wanted to speed things up a notch. Similar to the case of Liu family. He kept on asking Sun Xin Yu about the progress of it and she would only reply with one same answer. "Patience."

Though it was rather annoying, Zhang Yang had no reason to doubt Sun Xin Yu. Zhang Yang had been waiting for years to burn Liu Wei down to ash, might as well add a few days to that timer.

The party then followed Zhang Yang across the Isaac Mountains and came across Ryu Ayer Castle. The true location was located towards the North West of the map. After several hours of flying in the sky, they had finally arrived at the Refinery. As mentioned by Gulaj, there were too many Spectres of all shapes and sizes coming in and out of the mine. There was a huge refinery station close to the mine with several hot machines working restlessly.

The mission was easy and straightforward. Zhang Yang would only need to plant the [Goblin's High Explosive Bomb – 3rd Gen. Prototype] and bomb the entire place down to smithereens. The problem was, after circling around the entire refinery, there was no indication as to where he should place it.

"Looks like the quest would not allow us to slack. I'm guessing that we should clear all the Spectres to proceed with the quest!"

Everyone descended down to the ground and split apart. Everyone moved individually and killed their way slowly. No sooner after the weak ones were defeated, a large skeletal monster, wielding a large hammer rushed towards the party.

[Skeletal Smith] (Elite, Spectre)

Level: 170

HP: 5,100,000

Defense: 7,000

Melee Attack: 40,774 – 60,774

Skills:

[Heat on Heat: Deals 100% melee physical attack on a target. Inflicts [Heat on Heat] debuff dealing additional 100% attack on the next attack. Lasts for 10 seconds. Can be stacked.

Note: A master of the art of Smithing before they passed on and revived as a Spectre.

Zhang Yang stopped his tracks immediately when he noticed the monster's skill. As such, Endless Starlight was the first person to charge into the fight and became the punching bag for the Smithers. The poor idiot was being led to slaughter by Zhang Yang and he had not even realized it. He smiled proudly and said, "Boss, are you sick today? How am I able to tank all the monsters?

'-23,739!'

'-69,533!'

'-103,343!'

'-152,909!'

"WHAT!!!"

There were four monsters attacking Endless Starlight at the same time. The first attack was normal, but the three other attacks were so strong that Endless Starlight was greatly startled by it.

Tanking just one monster would not be hard. It would be long before the tank would not be able to handle the stacked damage amplification. However, having four attacking at the same time would be suicidal. That was merely the first trigger of {Heat on Heat}, if the second trigger comes in, the damage will start with 200,000 as the lowest!

Not even Zhang Yang could handle such intense barrage, so how could Endless Starlight?

As such, Endless Starlight had lost 30% of his HP and finally figured out why would Zhang Yang had allowed him to take the first hit!

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Hold up! I having a stomach ache! Hold on first without me!"

"WAAAA! Boss! Don't do this to me! I'll die!" cried Endless Starlight as he activated {Sacred Protection} to gain 10 seconds of invulnerability and dispel the debuffs on him. It was an act of desperation, since he would not know when the monster would use the skill again!

"Little Yang! How could be so cruel to little Starlight? Not even an animal would be that evil! Nishishishi," said Fatty Han.

It was merely a joke. Zhang Yang would never allow anyone in his party to die without reason. He then jumped to the front and attacked one of the monsters with {God of War Devastation} to draw the attention of one monster, and used {Provoke} to pull one more. He had removed two threats on Endless Starlight and eased his load.

Fight just one Smither would not be a problem since the skill cooldown and effects were the same. It would be impossible to stack the effect up. On the other hand, when two or more Smithers are there, it would be dangerous, since one of them would use the skill before or after the other. 10 seconds later, all four Smithers raised their hammer and struck Zhang Yang and Endless Starlight with {Heat on Heat}. Even if the effect was 0.1 second from expiring, a new skill landing on it will ultimately stack the effect, refreshing the debuff back to 10 seconds.

Initially, Zhang Yang was not sure of the specifics of the skill. However, when two of the monster struck Zhang Yang, he had taken one hit after the other and received a total damage of over 60,000.

After another 10 seconds, when the monsters were about to strike Zhang Yang again, he threw out {Thunder Strike} first and delayed their movement speed and the timing of the skill strike. Although it was merely a split second, it was good enough to remove the debuff on him. When the new {Heat on Heat} landed on Zhang Yang, he had merely taken 200% damage, instead.

Endless Starlight did not have any active slow skill. However, roughly a month ago, he had managed to obtain the skillbook {Superior Devotion} which added a 50% movement speed debuff on top of the DoT aura effect. His skill was strengthened, allowing him to slow down enemies just by being close to them.

Now that both tanks had managed to solve the problem with {Heat on Heat} the Skeletal Smithers were nothing but monsters with HP to hack away. 5 million HP? It's nothing but soft tofu waiting to be crushed by Zhang Yang's party.

As they got accustomed to the skills, they started increasing the pace. From 4 monsters at a time, they were able to increase the numbers to 6. It was made possible due to the powerful DPS of the party. Even though they could not kite any more than 6, the progress was still faster than normal. Still, after one whole night, the party had only managed to clear less than 30% of the entire refinery. Everyone else logged out when dawn arrived. One hour after breakfast, they continued on with their progress.

Zhang Yang the other hand, was busy with his daily routine. He left the party to Endless Starlight and logged out to have his exercise and work at Silky Soft Holdings. Although he would be missing out on a lot of experience, it was a number which he did not mind losing. He was far higher than anyone of them. By the time he logged back into the game, everyone else had already pushed a good distance from where he had stopped.

Eventually, Zhang Yang's party had taken two real-time days to finish clearing the entire refinery. The party would have never done something that like that, however, after they had listened to Zhang Yang's advice about the importance of Military Points, they had caved in and proceed to wipe the map of all Spectres. All their actions were for the later glory. The more Military Points they collect, the easier it would be to defeat Angus later on.

The best of all, was the fact that Angus would drop Celestial tier equipment!

With the Celestial tier equipment hanging out there like a piece of carrot for a donkey, the party had gain the inspiration and vigor to complete the quest. It was merely a grinding session that was extreme boring. That was all!

Alas, after fighting for long, the party had reached the center of the refinery. It was an empty tiled place with at least 40 meters of clean tiles laid out. As the party was killing their way on, they felt a tremendous shaking wave. A large skeletal monster came crawling out of the land. With a long blade resting on its back, the green-emerald flame flickered in its eye sockets as it stared at the party.

The massive skeletal monster was seven meters tall. It had the appearance of a human skeleton, yet it possessed a long bone tail! It seemed like the tail had grown with the man! On the other hand, there was another odd feature about the monster. It had a unicorn-like horn that was growing out of its forehead, glowing with a faint abyssal like darkness.

[Longador - The Dragon Race] (Holy, Spectre)

Level: 180

HP: 1,800,000,000

Defense: 18,470

Melee Attack: 139,398 – 213,398

Skills:

[Tail Whip: Strikes all targets within 40 meters. Deals 100% melee physical attack. Deals double damage to targets which are moving. Casting: 0.5 seconds.

[Death Blade: Deals 150% melee physical attack to a target. Deals double damage to targets that are moving. Casting: 0.5 seconds.
