Chapter 129: Whoever Fails in Their Task is a Wolfdog!

Jiang Feng opened his friend panel, and what surprised him was that it was not Mu Xi that sent him the message. It was Nangong Tiaotiao.

There was only one line in her text, "Big Brother Jiang Feng, do you know where Xiao Bai is?"

He was not sure why, but his heart skip a beat when he saw the message.

He did not hate Nangong Tiaotiao. It could be said that she was the only one that he did not dislike that was from the Canaan Guild.

That was because Nangong Tiaotiao did not hurt him. Instead, she even sacrificed herself to save him.

But he did not expect Nangong Tiaotiao to have such a deep obsession with him. It had already been two months, and yet she still could not forget him.

He gave it a thought, and replied, "Who's Xiao Bai?"

Nangong Tiaotiao replied very quickly, "Xiao Bai is a very very strong tiger that looks like a kitty! He's my hero, and I miss him very much!"

Jiang Feng replied, "I don't know where he is."

Nangong Tiaotiao then asked again, "Big Brother Jiang Feng, I heard that a white tiger has appeared at Mount Kunlun. Do you think that White Tiger could be Xiao Bai?"

Jiang Feng replied, "Maybe."

Nangong Tiaotiao then asked, "Can you accompany me to look for him?"

Jiang Feng responded, "Your Big Sister is very strong. Ask her to accompany you."

Nangong Tiaotiao explained, "No, I can't. I'm no longer with Big Sister. Last time, an elven big sister brought me to a very, very pretty forest and said I'm the Inheritor of the Elves. She asked me to do a quest first before letting me out."

Jiang Feng replied in shock, "The Elves' Inheritor!"

Nangong Tiaotiao replied, "Yes. The elven big sister said that I'm pure of heart, and is the best person to become the inheritor So Big Sis let me go with her."

Looking at Nangong Tiaotiao's replies, he was even experiencing shortness of breath as he became excited.

As the Shifter's Inheritor, it was his duty to restore the Shifters. But this brought him enormous pressure as not only did he need to face the Divines and Infernals, he would even have to face the other races. If he could have the support from a few other races, it would reduce the pressure on him.

With that thought, he quickly replied, "If Xiao Bai were to need your help one day, and would probably die, will you help?"

Nangong Tiaotiao responded, "I will!"

He was moved as he looked at Nangong Tiaotiao's response, and replied, "Don't worry. Focus on your quests with the Elves. Once you have become stronger, Xiao Bai will go look for you!"

Nangong Tiaotiao replied, "Really?"

Jiang Feng responded, "Yes!"

After the chat with Nangong Tiaotiao, Jiang Feng took a deep breath as he grinned excitedly.

He did not expect Nangong Tiaotiao to become the Inheritor of the Elves. In that case, saving Nangong Tiaotiao earlier was worth it.

According to the introduction on the official website, the Elves were a pure and kind race. They did not join the Great War ten thousand years ago. Instead, they went into hiding.

That meant that the Elves still had a lot of powerful individuals with them, and still had a lot of kins alive.

If he could gain the support of the Elves during the Great Divine-Infernal war, his chances of winning would improve tremendously.

"This is good news!" He said with a cheerful smile. "Looks like the inheritors of the other races are all beginning to surface. I need to find the other fragments for the Donghuang Bell and get some more powerful followers. I also need to have Rocket and Robert to receive the Gnome's inheritance. I need to reach Spiritual level as well and complete the Chinese Ghost Story plotline. As for Uproar in Heaven, looks like that would have to wait."

He did not leave Darkmoon Forest after giving it some thought, and instead took out the Divine Fate Compass and began his search for any fragments nearby.

Looking at Shen Luo that had appeared on the Divine Fate Compass, he asked, "Shen Luo, are there any Donghuang Bell fragments nearby?"

Shen Luo shook her head and said, "No!"

When Shen Luo said that there were no Donghuang Bell fragments, he was disappointed.

"That's fine. I should return to the city and think of a way to help Robert and Rocket inherit the Gnomes' inheritance!"

With that in mind, he used his Town Portal skill to leave the Darkmoon Forest and return to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.

After he had left, a beautiful figure appeared in the valley with innumerable spirits behind her.

"Master, why don't we simply kill him?" A spirit appeared next to the figure.

"No. He is the Shifters' Inheritor. If he wants to restore the Shifters' glory, many would die by his hands. Then, we Spirits would become even stronger. When we have no more use of him, I will personally kill him! Hmph!"

The figure was Xiao Lan. No, perhaps it was better to call her the Inheritor of the Spirits, Lin Lanshao. That was her full name. After she had become the Inheritor of the Spirits, the Lord God had granted her a higher station.

If Jiang Feng was here and could see her stats, he would let her seduce him a second time so that he could drain her again!

At this point in time, Xiao Lan had become very powerful. She had reached the same level as Laolao.

After his return to the Ancient City, he came to the plaza in front of the Shifter Emperor's Palace and took out the Gnome King's Statue.

After giving it some thought, he then let Heifeng, Yanhu, Haozi, Thunderclap Mantis, Houwang, and Xiaotian out.

When Heifeng and Yanhu came out, both of them had a drumstick in their mouths each. They were from the food that Jiang Feng had placed into the Qiankun Gourd. They wagged their tails at Jiang Feng and asked, "Boss, why did you release us?"

Jiang Feng then said, "Acting."

If Robert and Rocket were to receive the Gnomes' inheritance, he would need a perfect explanation to explain why the Gnomes' Statue was there.

Otherwise, Robert and Rocket would be hostile to him. He would not be able to control them then.

"Acting! That's great! Do you still have any Evolution Pills?" Yanhu wagged his tail as he looked at Jiang Feng flatteringly.

Jiang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "No!"

Yanhu and Heifeng were disappointed and said in unison, "Then, no!"

Jiang Feng took out the Jingu Staff and tossed it from one dragon paw to another. He stared at Yanhu and Heifeng, and said, "What did you say?"

Yanhu and Heifeng exchanged a glance and looked at the Jingu Staff that was in Jiang Feng's hands. They then said with an aura of pride and righteousness, "Whoever fails in their task is a wolfdog!"

Xiaotian looked at them disapprovingly with a blade in his maw when he heard their words, and said coldly, "You have something against me?!"

Looking at the enraged Xiaotian, Heifeng flapped his wings as he approached him. He was apologetic and shameful as he patted Xiaotian's fur. "Sigh, Brother Dog... Brother Wolfdog... No, Brother Wolf, it's my fault. I shouldn't have told you the truth that you're just a dog. Your IQ has been lowered to such a state... You're a wolf, not a wolfdog, so we weren't talking about you, don't be so sensitive!"

"Ahaha, this is so funny... Cough, wheeze! I can't, Houwang, take me to a tigress..."

"Scram!" Xiaotian roared at Heifeng and Yanhu angrily.

My goodness, which designer designed these two jokers. Or that was the side-effect of Transmute Monster? This was challenging his understanding of the world!

Jiang Feng could only facepalm and he remained speechless.

Heifeng then said to Yanhu, "Brother Yan, he's asking you to scram. You better scram, so we can see how handsomely you scram..."

Yanhu stared at Heifeng and said, "Why don't you scram?!"

"Shut up! Enough, both of you jokers!" Jiang Feng roared at Heifeng and Yanhu when he had had enough of it.

As soon as he had said that, Heifeng and Yanhu sat in front of him with their tongues sticking out, staring at him with their innocent eyes.

When they saw how shameful Heifeng and Yanhu were being, Haozi, Houwang, the Thunderclap Mantis all looked away as if they did not know who they were.

"Damn it, I have recruited two jokers!" Jiang Feng said as he looked at Heifeng and Yanhu pretending to be innocent.

"Alright, let me tell you what our next task is. I will give the next Evolution Pill that I have transmuted to whoever performed the best. I will let Robert and Rocket out, both of you have to..."

He did not have the motivation to deal with them right then and there. Instead, he gave each of his followers a role and began preparation to make Robert and Rocket fall into their trap.

As long as Robert and Rocket would fall for their ruse, he would control the Gnomes once they had received the Gnomes' Inheritance.

Chapter 130: The Gnomes' Inheritance

After practicing with his followers, Jiang Feng brought them into the Shifter Emperor's Palace.

Mainly it was because he did not want to let Robert and Rocket see the Gnome King's Statue.

His dragon body shrunk and he jumped into the throne within the palace.

He took out the Qiankun Gourd, its mouth pointed at the hall, and released Robert and Rocket.

"Brother Feng, you have finally let us out! There is nothing for us to do other than eat and drink! Where is the smithy room you promised us?" Robert complained as soon as he came out.

"That is right, I have not mined and handled any smithing hammer for so long that my hands are getting itchy!" Rocket said in agreement

All this while, Jiang Feng had bought a lot of food and beer and placed them near Robert and Rocket so he had fulfilled that part of his promise.

Jiang Feng said with a smile, "I've prepared the smithy room for you. How can I forget what I've promised my brothers!"

At this time, Heifeng's time to act had come. He wagged his tail as he approached Robert and said, "That's right. Do you know how many people the boss had offended so that he can create the world's best smithy room for you two? He was almost killed! Fortunately, the boss is favored by the Heavens and he managed to build the world's best smithy room for you two!"

Robert and Rocket were shocked when Heifeng suddenly jumped out from behind them. When they looked back, they saw six different monsters all staring at them. When they saw Yanhu, they pointed at him in surprise and asked, "Ah, you... Why are you here?"

Yanhu blinked and looked at Robert and Rocket in confusion, "You two know me?"

"Hm?" Robert and Rocket looked at Yanhu carefully and doubted themselves.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, you two. He wasn't the tiger that attacked you. Look, he has horns on his head, and the fire on him is different too. Just like both of you, I saved him when he was in danger."

Robert scanned Yanhu once again, and muttered, "Now that you say it, he is different than the one that attacked us. Looks like we did make a mistake."

Robert nodded. "It is indeed not the same one."

Fortunately, Yanhu's physical appearance had changed after fusing with the Lightning Tiger King. Otherwise, he would not let them meet.

Seeing that Robert and Rocket had lifted their suspicion on Yanhu, he smiled and said to the two of them, "Brothers, allow me to bring you to the smithy room I have prepared for you!"

"The smithy room!" Robert and Rocket exchanged a glance in excitement.

Jiang Feng summoned the Monster Cloud and had everyone stand on it. The Monster Cloud raised a curtain of clouds shielding their view and quickly headed to the center of the city after exiting the palace.

As he was out of money, there was still extensive damage on the walls that he could not yet repair. The smithy room already existed within the Ancient City, but it was slightly run down.

However, it had been fully repaired by the builders he recruited. He even had it expanded.

The smithy room was located in the smithy, and the largest smithy in the Ancient City was located near the gate.

When they reached the gate, he brought Robert and Rocket to the Smithy.

"It's huge!" Robert and Rocket exclaimed in surprise after they had entered the smithy.

The smithy was separated into two levels and was around five hundred meters square wide. It had a complete set of counters, racks, and tools. On each level, there was a row of smithy rooms, and these smithy rooms were of different specifications.

At the Imperial Dragon City, only Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced smithy rooms were available at the smithy. Here, he had set up an Exotic Level Smithy Room.

Not only were there food and drinks available, but he had even prepared the mold for the Dragonballs.

"Hehe, my dude, aren't you satisfied? The boss had literally spilled his blood in exchange for these. To tell you the truth, the boss treats you two much better than he does to us. I want to cry now that I think about it..." Heifeng said as he approached Robert and Rocket, flapping his wings.

"Satisfied, we're satisfied!" Robert nodded in excitement, then he bowed to Jiang Feng and said, "Brother Feng, thank you so much! If there is anything that we can help you with, let us know! My brother and I will surely help you!"

Jiang Feng then gave them both a mysterious smile. "Don't be so happy just yet. Let me bring you two to see something!"

Just as Robert and Rocket were still confused, he brought them both to the plaza in front of the Shifter Emperor's Palace.

"This is..."

When Robert and Rocket came down from the Monster Cloud, both of them were stunned when they saw the Gnome King's Statue on the plaza.

Both of them walked around the Gnome King's Statue a few times with scowls on their faces.

Then Robert and Rocket questioned Jiang Feng aggressively, "Why is the Gnome King's Statue here? Did you steal it from the Gnomes?!"

The Thunderclap Mantis warned them, "Watch your tone!"

Xiaotian also said coldly, "If we stole it, would we have shown it to you? What're your brains for?"

Once Robert and Rocket heard what the Thunderclap Mantis and Xiaotian had to say, they started to doubt themselves too. 'That's right. If Brother Feng stole it, why would he show us?"

"Bro, stop guessing blindly," Yanhu started playing his part. "Do you know that after you left, the Gnome King's Statue was stolen? The priest thought that you stole it! But our boss is a Divine Dragon that is just and all-powerful, he wouldn't let the two of you be wronged like that! The boss used a lot of effort to find the statue and finally found it in the hands of the Infernals. He was almost killed because of that."

Houwang said, "That's right! The battle with the Infernals had darkened even the Heaven itself! We accompanied the boss and assaulted them seven times before we got the statue back."

"That's right, those b*stards even grabbed at the fur on my butt!" Haozi said angrily and stressed at the word 'b*stard' as he looked at Heifeng.

Heifeng was the one who had suggested it to Jiang Feng, after which he quickly munched a mouthful of fur from Haozi's butt. There were still bloodstains on it. He was so angry that he fought with Heifeng for thirty rounds.

"Tsk tsk, so sexy," Heifeng walked behind Haozi and patted Haozi's butt using his tail. Then, he turned to Robert and Rocket and said, "See? We sacrificed so much for your statue. Not only was Haozi's fur stripped, he even had to sacrifice his good looks! Haozi's butt is a little bit sexy, his tail is also waving so seductively. Even I'm feeling a bit tempted. No wonder those Infernals were attacking so fiercely!"

"Scram!" Haozi rolled his eyes at Heifeng as he turned and walked away. He was not courageous enough to stand beside a joker.

Even Jiang Feng was looking at Heifeng irritably and was at the brink of giving him a good kick.

"I see. We apologize, Brother Feng. We have wronged you," Robert and Rocket said in shame once they had listened to the explanation by Heifeng and the others.

Jiang Feng shook his head as he smiled, "No problem. As long as the two of you promise me one thing, I will give the Gnome King's Statue to you two as a gift."

"Really?" Robert and Rocket asked excitedly.

The Gnome King's Statue carried the Gnomes' Inheritance. If they were to obtain the Gnome King's Statue, that would mean that they had obtained the Gnomes' Inheritance, and could become the Gnome King in the future!

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes!"

Robert and Rocket exchanged another glance and then said, "Then tell us, Brother Jiang. We will agree to whatever you want!"

"It's very easy. Work for me for five years, what do you say?"

Five Years?

Robert and Rocket exchanged a glance and gave it a thought.

The lifespan of a Gnome was very long. They could live ten times longer than a human being. Five years was not very long for them. That duration of time would pass quickly when they spend it on mining and smithing.

"Alright, we can do that!" Robert nodded. What was five years in the face of obtaining the Gnomes' Inheritance?

"Right. I'm not saying I don't trust you, but how would I know if you won't regret and renege on that promise?" Jiang Feng asked.

"I see. We can make an oath in the name of the Lord God. If we renege on our promise, then let us disappear!" Robert said.

Jiang Feng pursed his mouth and nodded. "Alright!"

To an NPC, such an oath was not a simple pledge. It would be monitored by the System. Once an oath had been made, it would be monitored. If they were to act against such an oath, it would be deleted by the System.

He obtained this information from Yanhu and Heifeng since they were NPCs as well.

"We swear upon your name, Lord God! If Brother Feng gives us the Gnome King's Statue, we shall swear fealty to Brother Feng for five years. If we were to break this oath, may we be eradicated!" Robert and Rocket swore their oaths.

Whoosh!

At this time, a shaft of light descended from the sky and entered Robert's and Rocket's bodies.

"Great! The Gnome King's statue is now yours," Jiang Feng said excitedly.

As long as Robert or Rocket could obtain the Gnomes' inheritance, that would mean that he could gain additional support during the Great Divine-Infernal War.

While most of the Gnomes were mostly incapable in battle except for the Gnome Warriors, they were extremely capable smiths. They could forge powerful equipment for his followers and the Shifter Army, and could even help him earn some money.

After receiving the Gnome King's Statue, Robert then said to Rocket, "Brother, let us see if we are worthy to receive the Gnome King's inheritance!"

Rocket nodded and said, "Yes."

Next, they went toward Xiaotian and extended their arms. Xiaotian looked at them murderously as they sliced open a wound on their forearms using his blade. As the wound was bleeding, they quickly ran toward the Gnome King's Statue and dripped their blood on it.

As their blood fell on the statue, the statue released a soft, golden glow as it drained their blood.

"%@%..."

At this time, both Robert and Rocket quickly chanted in Gnomish as they knelt on the ground and prayed.

Whoosh.

As they prayed, the Gnome King's Statue light began to intensify to the point where it would be blinding to those who looked at it. A ball of red light in between the eyebrows of the statue shot toward Robert's forehead.

Next, Robert's body began to float as he accepted the Gnome King's Statue's inheritance.

Soon, the red light disappeared, and a giant red hammer appeared in Robert's hand.

"Haha! I never thought that I would become the Gnome King one day!"

Robert wielded and waved the red smithy hammer in his hand as he laughed excitedly, and then smashed the hammer on the ground viciously.

Chapter 131: Upgrade the Monster Transmutation System

After Robert had received the Gnomes' Inheritance, his Smithing skill was increased to Spiritual Level!

In addition, he had even obtained a Divine Artifact. A Smithing Divine Artifact. A Smithing Divine Artifact that was for the Gnome King.

Even though Rocket did not obtain the Gnome King's Inheritance, he was not very disappointed. He was actually quite happy for his younger brother.

Even though Robert had obtained the Gnomes' Inheritance, he did not ask Robert to leave. Instead, he had his sibling operate the Smithy and officially become the owner of the place.

"Now that I have an operator for the smithy, I still need operators for... an Herbal Shop, a Tailor Shop, a Restaurant, and a General Store. I mean, I can't have monsters operate them. Even if I could, they probably don't have the ability to do it. Looks like it's still going to be quite difficult to restore the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor to its former glory. I don't even have the money to repair it!"

"Looks like I have to make Robert and Rocket forge some equipment and repair the city after earning some money. I would also need to recruit some traders and start operating the Ancient City. If I don't start earning some money, how can I raise so many followers?"

He sat on top of the Monster Cloud and looked at the damaged walls and buildings, frustrated.

"I just have to take one step at a time. The path to restoring the Shifters' former glory is quite difficult!"

He shook his head as he summoned the Monster Cloud and left the Ancient City. He was heading toward the Five Fingers Mountain. He was going to go to the Boneyard Abyss and submit his quest.

As there was nothing he could do while on the Monster Cloud, he took out the four drops of Divine Dragon Blood from the spatial bracelet. He was going to take this opportunity to evolve.

One of the drops of Divine Dragon Blood was from his previous exploits, and the other three drops were from the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals.

Looking at his current Dragon Bloodline and Purity, he took out three drops of Divine Dragon Blood and consumed them.

Next, he felt as if two fire dragons were soaring in his stomach as his face twisted in pain.

Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations. Your Bloodline has reached 120% and Purity has reached 120%.

His original Dragon bloodline and purity were both 30%. They had reached 120% after consuming three drops of Divine Dragon Blood.

Once the Bloodline and Purity had been raised, he took out the only Evolution Pill that he had and ate it.

After he had consumed it and chosen the Dragon Bloodline, his body was enveloped in flames and it formed a fire cocoon.

Bang!

Ten minutes later, the fire cocoon burst open as the Monster Cloud shook.

A fifty-meter long brown dragon burst forth from the fire cocoon. The dragon was Jiang Feng, who had evolved to rank 6.

Once he had evolved into rank 6, his size had doubled. His horns had formed a fork and he was no longer a Wyrmling, but an adult dragon.

After his evolution, his attack had increased by 10,000, HPs by 50,000, defense by 5,000. They were far higher than his previous evolution.

His current HPs, attack, and defense were:

HPs: 252,000

Attack: 33,080

Defense: 13,452

"My stats have increased by so much, can it be..."

Looking at his stats, he quickly looked at the Bloodline stats in his Status Panel as if he had thought of something.

Only to see that the Dragon's Bloodline and Purity that were originally at 120%, had all fallen back to 0%.

That meant that the reason that his stats had increased that much had to be because of that extra 20% in Bloodline and Purity, other than the fact that he had become an adult dragon.

"That means that the higher the concentration of my Bloodline and Purity, the more my stats would increase after my evolution. I wonder what the highest rating is? And how much my stats can increase afterward? I should test it whenever I get enough Divine Dragon blood!" He said joyously as he looked at the increase of his stats.

Other than his stats, he realized that he had a new skill. The Earth Cover Dragon's ultimate skill, Slam of Mount Tai!

Slam of Mount Tai: Active Skill. Summons a huge mountain and slams it at enemies within 10 meters, dealing 150% of base damage and dazing them for 2 seconds. Cooldown of 10 minutes.

That was a very powerful skill. Not only was the damage high, but it also had 2 seconds worth of crowd control.

With his current attack, any player would be instantly killed by this skill. Even a wave of monsters could be killed if he were to combine it with his three other crowd control skills.

After looking at his stats, he looked at the Monster Transmutation System and he went for a lottery.

"Let's see if I can get something good!"

He was not going to save his one lottery chance and used it immediately.

The roulette wheel appeared and the lottery began as the indicator began to spin.

After spinning for twelve seconds, it finally stopped at the special category.

Next, a grey chest appeared in front of him and surprised him.

"Why is there a grey chest?"

Jiang Feng was confused as he looked at the grey chest in front of him.

However, he still decided to open the treasure chest despite having questions.

There was a scroll within the chest, and he looked at it curiously.

System Upgrade Scroll: After use, the Monster Transmutation System would be upgraded. During the upgrade, the Transmute Monster would not be usable. Duration of one week.

"Hm? The Monster Transmutation System could be upgraded?"

He did not hesitate and used the System Upgrade Scroll.

Ding. System Prompt: The Monster Transmutation System is upgrading...

As he heard the System Prompt, he realized that Transmute Monster, Polymorph, and Lottery had all been greyed out and could no longer be used.

'I wonder what the system will look like after getting upgraded?' Jiang Feng became excited at the thought.

It was all thanks to the Monster Transmutation System that he could grow to this stage.

It was all thanks to the Monster Transmutation System that he could have his current power.

While he did not know where the system came from, he knew that the system was not as simple as what he thought.

"Roar! I will kill all of you!"

Just as he closed the Transmute Monster System's panel, a monster's raging roar came from afar.

Curiously, he looked at where the roar came from.

He saw that a tall mountain peak had appeared in front of him.

The mountain peak was covered by mists, and he could see nothing other than hearing the angry roars coming from within.

"Mount Kunlun!"

Looking at the mountain peak, he used Identify on it and found out where he was.

He did not realize that he would pass by the game's First Mountain Peak, Mount Kunlun, while on his way to the Boneyard Abyss.

There were countless monsters in Mount Kunlun. Monsters between levels 50 to 100 were all scattered throughout it.

The roar he heard came from halfway up Mount Kunlun.

"Monster Cloud, let's go see what's happening!"

He became curious when he heard the monster's angry roar, and asked the Monster Cloud to bring him over there.

Just as Jiang Feng was riding to Mount Kunlun, he did not know that his body in the real world was being changed.

Back in reality, Jiang Feng was lying on his bed as a faint, red light was pulsing where his heart should be.

The light went from his heart to his head, then formed a ring of light. Then, as if it was a scanner, it went from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. The rings surrounded him continuously, to the point where it was like he was being enveloped by a barrier of light.

"Monster Transmutation System is upgrading..."

At this time, a voice came from where his heart should be. Next, the rings of red lights all disappeared.

If anyone were to witness what had happened, they would no doubt be dumbfounded!

Chapter 132: Recruiting Followers at Mount Kunlun

Mount Kunlun.

The game's first Mount.

It had monsters of all races from levels 50 to 100 scattered around it.

It was also one of the most dangerous places for players other than the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals.

Normally, no players would come and level near the slope of the mountains. Most of them would level up near the base of the mountain.

"Roar!"

As he approached it while on the Monster Cloud, the angry roar became louder.

Very quickly, he arrived on top of the location where the roar came from. To stop himself from being detected, he shrunk his body and used the Monster Cloud to cover himself. Then, he looked at where the sound was coming from.

By a waterhole on the mountain slope, a dozen Infernal Soldiers were leading a number of armed Infernals and fighting with two level 50 bosses. Several bosses had been tamed by the Infernal Soldiers, while three of them had already been killed.

"Hm? Why would there be so many bosses here? Is this because of the Infernal Soldiers?" He thought to himself curiously as he looked at the bosses.

The leader of the Infernal Soldiers was called Mo Shang, who was at level 60. That meant that he was equal to a level 60 Spiritual Beast.

Mo Shang looked at one of the two bosses, a Redscaled Python, and said to it coldly, "Either surrender, or die!"

'Damn, how dare you steal my line! Just you wait, I'll kill you!' Jiang Feng cursed under his breath when he heard what Mo Shang said.

The Redscaled Python roared as it stared at Mo Shang despite being a bloody mess, "The Shifters will never become slaves! If you want to kill me, then kill me! If I were to die, then so be it!"

With that, the Redscaled Python slithered its gigantic body and swooped toward Mo Shang.

The Shifters would never become slaves!

The Redscaled Python's words shocked Jiang Feng, and he felt his blood boil.

"Damn you Infernals! Damn you and your Archmaster!"

Jiang Feng yelled out coldly as he took out his Jingu staff and enlarged his body. The Jingu Staff was also enlarged, and he rushed toward Mo Shang.

Even though he was no match for Mo Shang and the group of Internals, he could not bear seeing such a valiant Redscaled Python die for nothing.

He hovered in the air, reaching the top of the Infernals in the blink of an eye.

"Roar! Dragon Howl!"

He unleashed a dragon roar and used the Dragon Howl skill, causing them all to be dazed.

One whole group of Infernals and all the monsters, including the Redscaled Python, was standing dazedly on the ground.

"Demon-Suppressing Heavenly-Wind Staff!"

He did not hesitate to unleash the Jingu Staff's attack on the group of Infernals.

-1

-3,425

...

He realized that he could not even break through the Infernal Soldier's Defense but could barely break through the Infernal's leader's defense. It made him very dispirited.

"Requiem!"

When the Infernal Soldiers and Infernal Leaders were going to be free from the Daze status, he used another crowd-controlling skill. However, he did not attack, but took out the Qiankun Gourd and took the corpses of the three bosses on the ground.

"Follow me!"

After taking all three boss corpses, he told the Redscaled Python and the other boss, a Greenwood Bull King.

The Redscaled Python and Greenwood Bull King exchanged a glance and nodded.

Next, he put the Redscaled Python and Greenwood Bull King into the Qiankun Gourd.

"Hm? Inheritor of the Shifters?! Die!"

Once Mo Shang had recovered and seen Jiang Feng's stats, he recognized that Jiang Feng was the Shifters' Inheritor that Archmaster Moji had ordered to pursue and capture. He was overjoyed and quickly attacked.

"Tornado! Slam of Mount Tai!"

He did not wait for Mo Shang to reach him and used Tornado to blow Mo Shang up, next a gigantic mountain appeared out of nowhere from the sky and crashed into them.

"Mo Shang, go back and tell the Archmaster that once I'm done with my business, I'll settle my score with her!"

Jiang Feng called for the Monster Cloud and quickly left after leaving him a message.

The Monster Cloud was on full speed, and it was already several hundred meters up in the sky in the blink of an eye while Mo Shang and his Infernal Soldiers were either still being caught in the tornado or were dazed by the Slam of Mount Tai.

When the negative status effects from the Tornado and Slam of Mount Tai expired, Mo Shang realized that Jiang Feng had disappeared. He roared out furiously, "Find him! Find the Shifters' Inheritor!"

With his order, the Infernal Soldiers, Infernal Leaders, Infernal Warriors, and tamed monsters all began to look for Jiang Feng nearby.

When Mo Shang was still looking for Jiang Feng, he was already far, far away on the Monster Cloud.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the Redscaled Python and the Greenwood Bull King in the Qiankun Gourd.

"You are the Shifters' Inheritor?" The Redscaled Python asked Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng nodded and asked, "Yes, I am. Why did the territory kings all gather in one place? How were you all discovered by the Infernals?"

The Greenwood Bull King said angrily, "That's because the Scaled Boar King gathered us all there. The Scaled Boar King was Infernalized, and had betrayed the Shifters!"

The Redscaled Python became discouraged when it heard that and said, "There are many Shifters that have been Infernalized by the Infernals. All of them are Territory Kings. They have captured many of our tribesmen from Mount Kunlun, and they would kill all those who refuse to surrender. I heard that the Divines are also capturing our tribesmen. At this stage, all the other races are attacking us Shifters!"

When he heard what the Redscaled Python and Greenwood Bull King had said, he quickly checked the official message board.

There was a small patch note released on the official website mentioning that the players Capture skill's success rate had been increased. Many of the posts on the message board were players showing off the pets that they had captured. While most of them were normal monsters, but all the other ones were Territory Kings. While the ranks and levels of these monsters were not high, they had still greatly increased the combat capabilities of the Divine and Infernal players.

The Shifters' intelligence was quite low compared to the other races. That had already caused them to be at a disadvantage. Now that the Divines and Infernals Players were capturing them as pets, that had caused their factions' powers to increase tremendously.

Even the Infernals were Infernalizing the monsters, strengthening themselves.

Only they, the Shifters, were limited in numbers. While they could respawn after being killed, they still would not be able to withstand a full-scale war.

'I need to build up the Shifters as soon as possible!"

When he thought of that, he turned to the Redscaled Python and the Greenwood Bull King and asked, "Are you two willing to follow me to restore the glory to the Shifters? Once the Shifters have been restored, I will make you both Divine Beasts!"

"I am willing!" The Redscaled Python replied.

"Me too!" The Greenwood Bull King said in agreement.

They were both level 50 boss monsters and had high intelligence. Looking at Yanhu, Heifeng, and the other Territory Kings approaching them, they did not think twice and agreed to it.

"Haha! Congratulations, boss! Our team has become even stronger!" Yanhu said as he ran toward Jiang Feng.

"Brother Mang, Brother Niu, welcome! Come, I have some fresh chicken drumsticks! Come, lick!" When Heifeng saw the new team members, he was very excited as well. He brought them both chicken drumsticks that were filled with teeth marks and saliva with an honest smile.

"Ugh..." Xiaotian felt that he was going to vomit again.

"Wolfdog, why must you vomit every time you see me with a drumstick? What is the meaning of this?" Heifeng said as he stared at Xiaotian.

Because of the chicken drumstick incident last time, Xiaotian did not want to eat chicken drumsticks ever again. The moment he eats chicken, he would remember the gross chicken drumstick that he had eaten.

Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at Heifeng and said to the Thunderclap Mantis, "Thunderclap, you're the most experienced among all of them. From now on, go train them whenever you are free!"

With that, he stopped paying attention to his followers' little quarrel and left the Qiankun Gourd.

As for the three boss corpses, he was saving them. Once the Monster Transmutation System had finished upgrading, he would transmute them.

He could revive them, unfortunately reviving them meant that he would need to kill three other boss monsters. That would make the entire point moot.

"Onward, to the Boneyard Abyss!"

He told the Monster Cloud as he coiled on the Monster Cloud. He lowered his dragon head as he thought to himself, 'The Old Lumberjack could survive in the Infernal Miasma without a scratch on him, he must have a treasure or a method to resist the effects of the Infernal Miasma. I must have it. Then, I can stop my followers from being Infernalized when the Great Divine-Infernal War comes!"

Chapter 133: The Infernal Repellant Pill Formula

The Boneyard Abyss was around one hundred fifty kilometers away from Mount Kunlun.

In between the Five Fingers Mountain and the Boneyard Abyss, the Infernal Miasma had filled the skies. That was the reason why he could not see Mount Kunlun when he was in the Boneyard Abyss and the Five Fingers Mountain.

Now that he had traveled from Mount Kunlun, he knew the direction he needed to take after this.

Next time, all he needed was to teleport to Kunlun City and fly for one hundred fifty kilometers.

He penetrated the Infernal Miasma when he was on the Monster Cloud. A field of bones appeared before him, its gloom sending chills down the spine.

As he arrived at the Boneyard Abyss, he started searching along the abyss.

It did not take him long to find the Old Lumberjack.

"My son, why did you have to die..." The Old Lumberjack wiped his tears as he cried.

No wonder there were so many players still actively playing the game, and that it had so many good reviews! The game was so surprising in terms of its plots.

Looking at the crying Old Lumberjack, he was once again reminded why the game was so enticing. He then walked toward the Old Lumberjack.

"Uncle, I've saved your son. Unfortunately... He was Infernalized, all I could do was..."

With that, he took out the body of the Old Lumberjack's Son and placed it in front of him.

"My Son!"

The Old Lumberjack was not surprised that he was a dragon at all, and all his attention had been turned to the body of his dead son.

He looked at the corpse numbly, then he dived over and held him in his arms. His tears had stained his wrinkled face as he cried, "You didn't have to die! Those damn Infernals, I am so sorry! It was my fault, I shouldn't have let you leave alone..."

The Old Lumberjack held his son's body in his arms tightly as he mumbled, fury toward the Infernals filled his eyes.

Looking at the crying Old Lumberjack, he said nothing. His giant body lay down next to the Abyss as he stared at the Infernal Miasma that filled the abyss. His eyes were blank as if he was thinking of something.

While this was a game, he had seen something in the NPCs that he could not find on real people back in reality. Pure emotions!

Ning Caichen and Xiao Qian!

Fairy Violetdawn and Sun Wukong!

The Old Lumberjack and his son!

...

Sometimes, he felt that the NPCs in the game knew more about emotions than the people in the real world.

'Perhaps it's time to let dad come in and have a taste of the game. I can accompany him too!'

With that thought, he opened the Official Message board and booked a casket-type game terminal that was suitable for visitors.

The price for a casket terminal was very high and was mainly created for old people. It had gadgets for massages and the use of nutrient solutions.

As for casket terminals for gamers, it was rumored that they were already in production. However, they have yet to be released into the market.

The price to book for a casket terminal was 188,888. He took out 200,000 from the Imperial Dragon Auction House and booked one for his dad.

After that, he stirred and looked at the Old Lumberjack.

He saw that the Old Lumberjack had already dug a pit when he was not paying attention and buried his son at the edge of the abyss.

Jiang Feng stood up and walked toward the grave and nodded. He considered that as a thank you for providing him with the map of the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals, as well as an apology for having to kill him.

"Thank you, Inheritor of the Shifters!" The Old Lumberjack said as he erected a wooden headstone for his son and then turned to him.

"No need," He did not know how the Old Lumberjack knew his identity, but he knew that anyone that could resist the Infernal Miasma was not anyone ordinary.

"As you have found my son's body, I will fulfill my promise and reward you!" The Old Lumberjack waved his hand.

Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the "Return the corpse of Uncle Hua's son from the Boneyard Abyss" quest. You are rewarded with the Infernal Repellant Pill Formula and 200,000 experience points. You have been additionally rewarded with Spiritual-Level Pharmacy Skill. Will you learn it?

'What? Uncle Hua?'

As he heard the System's voice, he looked at the Old Lumberjack's stats once again.

The Old Lumberjack was no longer hiding his stats and allowed him to look at his newly revealed stats.

Uncle Hua: Divine Level Pharmacist

Introduction: Descendant of the Saint of Medicine, Hua Tuo. He was originally the Pharmacist at the Imperial Dragon City. However, as he was unhappy with the Divines' hypocrisy, he left the Imperial Dragon City with his family. However, he was pursued by the Emperor and escaped with his son and his pregnant daughter-in-law.

HPs: 5,000,000

Attack: 10,000 – 20,000

Defense: 5,000

Skills: Pharmacy

While Uncle Hua's stats were very low, it was not important at all. The most important part was his title.

"Yes!"

How could he refuse the chance to learn the Spiritual Level Pharmacy Skill from a Divine Level Pharmacy?

He should not complain about learning too many skills. Not to mention that the effects of the Large Recovery Pills had become very limited on him. If he could learn the Spiritual-level Pharmacy, he could then create pills that restore even more HPs.

Infernal Repellant Pill Formula: Spiritual Medicine

It recorded the required medicine and steps to create the Infernal Repellent Pill. Once it had been successfully created, the Infernal Repellant Pill could be consumed to provide Infernal Resistance and was immune to the corruption of the Infernal Miasma for five minutes.

No wonder Uncle Hua was not afraid of the Infernal Miasma, he had pills that could resist its corruption.

"I did not think that, Uncle Hua, you would be a Divine-Level Pharmacist. But I don't understand, why would you be here? Why did your son fall into the Boneyard Abyss?" Jiang Feng asked with interest as he looked at him.

Uncle Hua let out a sigh and said, "I was pursued by the Emperor of the Divines to this place. They dared not step into this place. But, I was discovered by the Infernals three days ago, and my pregnant daughter was killed. My son went to look for her body to bury her, but he never made his way back."

"Damn Infernals! Uncle Hua, please wait. I will look for the body of your daughter in law, and bury them together!"

After he heard of Uncle Hua's story, Jiang Feng did not think twice before jumping down into the Boneyard Abyss. He used Hide and began to look for Uncle Hua's daughter in law's body.

It made him very angry when he learned that the Infernals would not even hesitate to kill a pregnant woman.

He was also thinking of helping Uncle Hua to find the corpse of his daughter in law, to help his dead son to find the body of his wife.

"Why can't I find it?"

He kept on searching when he reached the depths of the Boneyard Abyss. He looked through it again and again, but he did not find any corpses, only bones.

"Wah..."

At this time, he heard a strange noise coming from the face of the cliff. Curiously, he flew toward it.

He shrunk his body and avoided the Infernalized monsters, and quickly found a cave at the face of the cliff.

The cave was on top of a stone altar, and there were many bloodstains on its surface.

'Did Uncle Hua's daughter-in-law fall here? She didn't fall into the depths of the Boneyard Abyss, but fell unto the stone altar? But if that's the case, where is her body? Was it dragged into the cave and eaten by an Infernalized monster?'

His eyebrows locked together as he took out the Jingu Staff when he thought of that scenario, and approached the cave in front of him.

After just a few steps, he saw something that shook him to the core.

Chapter 134: Divine Level Alchemist Joins

The moderate-sized cave was formed naturally.

There was a bloodstain that had been formed, as if something was dragged over it.

When Jiang Feng entered the cave, he saw a woman corrupted with Infernal Miasma holding a baby, feeding the child.

The baby sucked the milk from her and cooed.

The sound that he heard when he was in the Boneyard Abyss indeed came from the baby.

"Kill!"

When the woman saw Jiang Feng entering the cave, she revealed a vicious expression. With the wave of her hand, an Infernal Fireball blasted toward Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng moved and dodged the Infernal Fireball, then looked at the woman and the baby that she was holding.

Uncle Hua's Daughter-in-Law: Infernalized

Introduction: After being thrown into the Boneyard Abyss, she absorbed the Infernal Miasma and was Infernalized when she fell in order to protect the baby in her womb. After being Infernalized, she successfully gave birth to her son and protected her son subconsciously.

HPs: 200,000

Attack: 5,000 – 10,000

Defense: 2,000

Skills: Infernal Fireball, Pharmacy

Uncle Hua's Grandson: Baby

Introduction: He mutated during his birth. When he was still in his mother's womb, he had received many nutrients from Uncle Hua's many concoctions. After his birth, his body has the ability to absorb any ability and any items, changing them into his power.

HPs: 10,000

Attack: 0

Defense: 0

Skills: Absorb

'Looks like this would not be an easy quest. Even if I don't come down here, I guess Uncle Hua would eventually ask me to find his daughter-in-law's body.'

Jiang Feng looked at the mother and son in front of him, he knew that this was not just a normal hidden quest. It was a mini-plot quest.

While the game had Ten Main Plot Quests, it also had various other mini-plot quests. They also had several quests to complete, but they were easier to complete.

"Sigh. That's fine. Since they aren't that strong anyway, I'll bring them both to Uncle Hua. He should make the choice of whether to have them killed or not."

With that, he expanded his body and extended his dragon claws. One of his claws grabbed at Uncle Hua's Daughter-in-Law while the other gently carried Uncle Hua's Grandson. He then flew out of the cave, summoned the Monster Cloud, hid himself, and quickly flew to the top of the Boneyard Abyss.

In a short while, he had brought the two to the cliffside of the Boneyard Abyss.

"This... Xiao Qing, what happened to you? I am your father-in-law..."

As soon as they made their descent, Uncle Hua saw his daughter-in-law Xiao Qing and walked toward her excitedly.

"Kill!"

Unfortunately, Xiao Qing had already been infernalized. She no longer remembered who he was. Instead, she threw an Infernal Fireball at him.

The Infernal Fireball struck Uncle Hua on the chest, and Infernal Miasma arose from where he was struck and began to dig into his body. Uncle Hua immediately took out a pill and ate it. The Infernal Miasma was immediately blocked by an invisible energy.

"Uncle Hua, this is your grandson. He's alright."

Jiang Feng opened his other claw. A baby was playing with his fingers in it.

"What? My grandson?" Uncle Hua stood up and approached the dragon claw with his hands trembling. When he saw the baby in the dragon's claw, he cried once again.

He extended his hands a few times, wanting to hold him, but he took them back every time, afraid that he would harm him.

"Uncle Hua..."

Jiang Feng looked at Uncle Hua with sadness, and then explained to him what information he had managed to glean from the mother and son.

After listening to Jiang Feng's explanation, Uncle Hua cried so much that he had lost his voice.

He had already been driven to despair, but he now saw a ray of hope in the baby in the dragon claw. How could he not be excited?

It took quite some time before Uncle Hua could once again control his emotions as he looked at the baby. When he did, he took out a pill and gave it to Jiang Feng, and said, "Shifters' Inheritor, give this pill to Xiao Qing. See if it could dispel the Infernal Miasma on her."

Jiang Feng accepted the pill and gave it a look. It was indeed the Infernal Repellent Pill.

He looked at the screaming Xiao Qing, then gave the little baby to Uncle Hua gently who received the baby with his trembling hands.

Next, he shrunk his body. With the pill in his hand and when Xiao Qing started to scream, he quickly popped it into her mouth.

Whoosh!

As soon as the Infernal Repellant Pill entered her body, most of the Infernal Miasma was dispelled. Unfortunately, it could not completely remove the Infernal Miasma from her body.

Although it was not completely dispelled, Xiao Qing had some of her consciousness returned to her.

"Father! My son!"

Xiao Qing began to cry as her mind was hers again.

"Are you alright? I am so sorry that this happened," Uncle Hua said to her excitedly.

"Dad, I've already been Infernalized. The Infernal Repellent Pill can't suppress it for long. Please take care of Ming's and my son," She said.

"Do not worry, Xiao Qing. I will heal you!" Uncle Hua began to tear up again.

"No, Dad. You know better than anyone that the Infernal Miasma could never be completely removed. Anyone that I touch would be corrupted by the Infernal Miasma in me, Infernalizing them. That's why... Dad, please take care of my son!"

As soon as she had said so, she used her sharp claws to stab into her own heart. Her HPs fell rapidly and became zero in a flash.

"I swear, I will create a pill that could completely dispel the Infernal Miasma!"

Seeing his own daughter-in-law commit suicide in front of him, Uncle Hua could only cry. However, the aimlessness in his eyes was replaced by determination.

Jiang Feng could only heave a sigh when he saw what happened. He then dug a grave next to Uncle Hua's son and buried Xiao Qing's body in it. At least the husband and wife could be buried together.

Ding. System Prompt: As you have triggered the "Return Uncle Hua's Daughter-in-Law's Body' quest early, you have received Uncle Hua's loyalty, Three Infernal Repellant Pills, and 200,000 experience points.

"Shifters' Inheritor, I heard that you have already begun rebuilding the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. My grandson and I have no place to go, can we go to your city?" Uncle Hua looked at Jiang Feng and continued, "Of course, if you would take us in, then I am willing to work for you!"

"There is no need for you to help me. My place is huge! You can live wherever you like!" Jiang Feng said to him in his dragon form.

"I thank you for your generosity, but I would not stay there for free. I still need to raise my grandson. If it is possible, can you rent the Herbal Shop in the Ancient City to me? Other than my grandson and my living expenses, I will give all profits to you. Consider them rent," Uncle Hua said.

My, a Herbal Shop operated by a Divine-Level Pharmacist. If the other guilds were to learn of this, they would be extremely jealous of it.

Once a city had been built, they would be opened to all the races. However, limits would be placed on certain races. However, no killings were allowed within the city as the city needed to run in order to provide any economical income.

That meant that once the Ancient City has been opened to the outsiders and players begin to come in, not only would they be shocked that the Herbal Store that is operated by a Divine-Level Pharmacist, they would bring in even more business.

He smiled as he thought of that, and said, "You can do whatever you want, Uncle Hua. I will arrange for them as you ask!"

After finishing the mini-plot quest, there was no longer any need for him to stay in the Boneyard Abyss. He asked Uncle Hua and his grandson to enter the Qiankun Gourd, then used the Town Portal to return to the Ancient City.

Since the Battlefield of the Divines and Infernals was below the Boneyard Abyss, if Archmaster Moji knew that he was here, he would be dead.

His journey to the Boneyard Abyss had helped him tremendously.

Not only did he learn the Spiritual-Level Pharmacy skill and the formula to make the Infernal Repellent Pill, but he also managed to obtain Infernal Repellant Pills as well as the loyalty of a Divine-Level Pharmacist. The Herbal Shop in the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor had found its operator.

Chapter 135: You're Jiang Feng?

The Ancient City of Shifter Emperor.

Jiang Feng brought Uncle Hua and Hua Yan into the Ancient City and arranged for them to live in the Herbal Shop.

Hua Yan was Uncle Hua's grandson.

The reason that he gave him this name was that he wanted his grandson to inherit his work.

Yan meant fire. And in the Pharmacy skill, the mastery of flames was considered to be a core skill. It meant that he wished that Hua Yan would have the ability to manipulate flames to a high degree and to spread the knowledge of the Pharmacy skill.

"Uncle Hua, are you happy with this place?"

Jiang Feng shrunk his size and pointed to the courtyard-style Herbal Shop using his draconic finger.

Uncle Hua nodded as he carried Hua Yan in his arms and said, "Thank you, Xiao Feng. For finding such a good home for an old man like myself."

Jiang Feng nodded his dragon head and said, "No need to thank me, Uncle Hua. But I do have a request."

"What is your request?" Uncle Hua asked.

Jiang Feng said with a smile, "I would like you to create a type of pill for me. A pill that could restore my health instantly."

Uncle Hua smiled. "Ah, a pill! And here I thought it would be something difficult. I have a type of pill called the Withering Wood Pill that could restore 20,000 HPs instantly. However, I have spent much of my time fleeing, and I no longer have any herbs on me. Perhaps you can help collect some for me?"

"But I don't know how to gather them." Jiang Feng said.

"Worry not, I will teach you!" Uncle Hua said.

With that, Uncle Hua waved his hand.

Ding. System Prompt: Uncle Hua is teaching you Spiritual Level Harvesting Skill. Will you learn it?

"Yes!"

The Harvesting skill and Pharmacy skill were skills that complement each other. One of them used to gather herbal materials while the other made them into medicine.

Since he had learned both, he could always find a place and time to use them despite him not foreseeing himself using that much.

"Uncle Hua, what kind of herbs do you need? I'll help you get them!" After learning the Harvest skill, Jiang Feng gave Uncle Hua a smile.

"All the herbs I need are on this list. But before you harvest them, can you help me with something?" Uncle Hua asked.

"What is it?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.

"I want to create a medicine to completely remove the Infernal Miasma. I need a type of herbal medicine that possesses hatred, violence, and divinity," He said.

"What kind of herbal material is that?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, Ginseng Fruit!"

Ding. System Prompt: Accept the "Retrieve 3 Ginseng Fruits" quest?

"Accept!"

Ginseng Fruits at the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple?

Jiang Feng was a bit surprised as he did not expect Uncle Hua to ask him to steal something from another Divine-Level NPC.

Even if he were to succeed, his Spiritual Level Harvest skill would not be able to harvest the Divine Level Ginseng Fruit.

Another point that raised some suspicion was that the Ginseng Fruit was supposed to be some sort of an Ambrosia. Why would it possess hatred and violence?

He asked Uncle Hua the questions in his mind.

"You would know once you have seen the Ginseng Fruit Tree." Uncle Hua said to him in a serious tone. "By the way, while I possess Divine Level Harvest skill, I couldn't teach it to you directly. However, I have a scroll here that would allow you to possess Divine Level Harvest Skill for 24 hours. Also, this is a Polymorph Pill that I created in the past. Take it. Maybe you will find a use for it."

With that, Uncle Hua gave Jiang Feng a scroll and pill.

Divine Level Harvest Skill: After use, you will possess the Divine Level Harvest Skill for 24 hours.

Polymorph Pill: A monster can become anyone it wants to after consuming it. Duration of 10 hours.

"Alright, then please wait for me. I will go to Wuzhuang Taoist Temple at once!"

After receiving the Divine Level Harvest Skill Scroll and Polymorph Pill, he nodded. He then used Polymorph, wore a mask, and teleported to Xihe City.

He did not use the Polymorph Pill, preferring to use it during an emergency.

Xihe City had another name on the map, and that was Apara-Godaniya.

It was a bustling city due to its scenic location. There were many players there too.

In order to hide his identity, he hid himself as soon as he entered Xihe City. He then went to Xihe City's general store and bought some ink, and dyed his silver hair black.

Everyone should have known that the Shifters' Inheritor was someone with silver hair and red eyes. After his polymorph he changed his name to something else, he did not want to expose this identity.

"Why doesn't the game have any costumes? If it does, it would be much more convenient. I can change my style whenever I want."

After dyeing his hair black, he then walked among the populace without fear.

While he was still eye-catching among the people, he was not the one that would capture the most attention.

Currently, many of the Crafters' Craft-Profession skills had reached Mid-levels and some of the crafters could already forge some equipment. Even masks had begun to appear.

There were many players that wore masks now, so no one would even think that he was the Shifters' Inheritor.

When he reached the Eastern Gate of Xihe City, he saw many players yelling and promoting themselves.

"Farming monsters at Mount Qingcheng. Level 35 party. Requesting a high-level healer, drops determined by the dice roll."

"Farming Invitation Letters at Wuzhuang Taoist Temple. Level 39 party Looking for DPS and Healer. drops determined by the dice roll."

"Farming monsters at Forest of Sorrow. Level 35 party. Requesting long-range DPS and drops determined by the dice roll."

...

Wuzhuang Taoist Temple Invitation Letter?

When he heard that a party was looking to farm for the invitation letters at Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, he approached them curiously.

The one that was doing the yelling was Xiao Batian, a warrior. Two others stood next to him, the assassin Luo Wushuang and wizard Batian Xiao.

Xiao Batian and Ba Tianxiao should be friends in real life since their game IDs were so similar.

He walked toward them and asked Xiao Batian. "Excuse me, but what is the Invitation Letter for?"

Xiao Batian was a man that looked feminine. He looked at Jiang Feng but was slightly stunned when he could not see Jiang Feng's stats. He then said, "I suppose this is the first time that you are here in Xihe City? And that you have not seen the message board?"

Jiang Feng nodded. He had indeed never seen any posts about the invitation letters from Wuzhuang Taoist Temple. Maybe they had all been pushed too far down.

"The invitation letters are basically an access pass into the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple. When a party has collected 50 invitation letters, they could then participate in a banquet. Once the number of parties that has been invited has reached 10, they could fight for a spiritual herb, the tree sap from the Ginseng Fruit Tree and two White-Silver Equipment, as well as high experience points." Xiao Batian explained to him.

"Tree sap from the Ginseng Fruit Tree?" He asked curiously.

"The tree sap from the Ginseng Fruit Tree can only be obtained by the champion. The entire party would be brought to the Ginseng Fruit Tree to take the Tree Sap of the Ginseng Fruit Tree. It is said that the tree sap could increase HPs by a maximum of 1,000. The black market price for it has already risen to 50,000," the Assassin Luo Wushuang added. "Our aim is to get the tree sap, so I hope you won't be dragging us behind."

The assassins had very little health. The Tree Sap of the Ginseng Fruit Tree would indeed be very useful for them.

He could access the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple as long as he had the invitation letters? Then, he did not need to think of any other ways to enter. All he needed to do was to farm for Invitation Letters together with them, take the first place after he had gotten in, and when they were brought to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, he would use the opportunity to take a few of the fruits. It would be fine even if he was discovered.

He said happily when he thought of that, "My attack is around 20,000. I suppose I could be counted as a DPS. I wonder if I can join your party?"

"20,000? Dude, you're lying," Ba Tianxiao mocked Jiang Feng. "Even the level 40 players at the current stage have attacks around 10,000. There are only a few that have reached 20,000!"

'Is 20,000 very high? I wonder what would they think if they know that my attack is actually around 40,000?'

Jiang Feng smiled and said nothing, then requested to join their group.

"You're Jiang Feng? The same one that has reached level 10, unlocked the first dungeon, and the spiritual level smith that has been dominating the level leaderboard?"

Xiao Batian was shocked when he saw the party request and quickly agreed to his request.

"Nice to meet you."

Looking at Xiao Batian's expression, he gave him a friendly smile and responded.

The name that was shown when he was polymorphed was indeed Jiang Feng.

Hearing Xiao Batian's words, both Ba Tianxiao and Luo Wushuang looked at their party list. Ba Tianxiao let out a cold snort and said nothing while Luo Wushuang stared at Jiang Feng, his thoughts unclear.

Chapter 136: Boss, Good Job!

To enter the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple and pick the Ginseng Fruit, Jiang Feng joined Xiao Batian's group.

All they needed was a healer priest, and then they could depart.

"Jiang Feng, I wonder if we can add each other as friends?" Luo Wushuang approached him with a smile as they waited.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have the habit of adding friends," Jiang Feng refused.

He only partied up with these people so that he could have an easier time entering the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple and approach the Ginseng Fruit Tree. He would not have any interaction with these players afterward.

The players were mostly with the Divines or the Infernals. Both were his future enemies.

He could not add these people as friends.

"Why is he so haughty? He's just a spiritual level smith. His damage is so high because of his own equipment. If he has no combat experience, he's the same as trash," Ba Tianxiao mumbled jealously when he heard what Jiang Feng said, and thought that he was simply full of himself.

As if agreeing to what Ba Tianxiao had said, Luo Wushuang stood aside after he heard what Ba Tianxiao had said. He frowned and stopped talking.

Jiang Feng could not care less and stood quietly on the sidelines, and opened the official message board to check the posts about the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple.

In any game, healers were always very precious and their numbers were few.

Healer classes had few attack skills and most of their skills were support in nature. That was why few players chose to play this class.

Xiao Batian yelled for quite a long time, a few healers approached them but their levels were a little bit low and he could not carry them.

Low-level priests could be easily killed by the monsters. If they had to put effort in to protect the priests, they would become burdens.

"Our party has Jiang Feng, top of the level leaderboard! We still need a priest of at least a minimum of level 35! Those with HPs reaching 25,000 please join us!"

Running out of options, Xiao Batian had no choice but to use Jiang Feng's reputation. This caused Jiang Feng to feel embarrassed.

"Jiang Feng? Which one? The one with the mask is Jiang Feng! Please forge a piece of equipment for me!"

"I'm a healer! But I only have 10,000 HPs. Let me join, I guarantee that I won't drag you all down!"

"Jiang Feng! Add me as a friend! I'll give you materials and pay for your workmanship! Please help me forge a gun!"

Within a short time, Jiang Feng was surrounded by players. Most of them were asking him to forge equipment for them.

"Ling Feiyu, level 39 Priests. I can heal for 3,000. Can I join the party?"

When Jiang Feng coldly refused the players that surrounded him, a beautiful woman walked toward Xiao Batian and recommended herself emotionlessly.

Silence!

When they heard the name, the entire place became silent.

'Hm? Ling Feiyu? Who is she? How did she get such high stats? Why have I never heard of someone like this?'

Level 39 priest, healing amount reaching 3,000 and HPs reaching 30,000. Even some of the high spec players would not have these stats, and this made Jiang Feng curious.

He then looked at Ling Feiyu, and he was astonished as soon as he saw her.

An elegant face, thin brows, blushed cheeks, and thick lips.

While she looked detached, she still had a tinge of adorability in her.

Her beauty could make the moon hide behind the black clouds shamefully, make the flowers close in embarrassment, make the fishes dive into the water in shame, and make the swans forget how to fly.

Her beauty captivated the flowers and the beasts.

Each step she took could be described as dim as the moon mantled in filmy clouds, and her steps were as restless as snow whirled by the driving wind.

In short, she was so beautiful that she was prettier than Mu Xi.

"The top in the Beauty Leaderboard, Ling Feiyu. My goodness, that face of hers! Even if it was modified, back in reality she must still be very beautiful. No wonder she could become the top in the Beauty Leaderboard."

"She must be a vixen to have grown to be something so pretty. Or that she's a mistress of another married man. Either way, a woman with a heart like mine is the prettiest."

"A heart like yours? Please... Stop grossing me out. That sentence of yours proves how shallow-minded you are, and you dare say your heart is pretty?"

Ling Feiyu's appearance had caused the entire Eastern Gate to become quite lively. Some of the men merely batted an eye at Ling Feiyu, and they would be hit by their female companions.

The men were drooling, and the women were envious.

Xiao Batian started at Ling Feiyu for quite some time. He only reacted when he saw Ling Feiyu frown, and agreed to Ling Feiyu's request to party.

As for Jiang Feng, after seeing Ling Feiyu, he then continued browsing the official message board.

That was because he noticed that something weird was going on in the official message board, it was regarding the Tree Sap from the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

He realized that while there was an introduction about the Tree Sap from the Ginseng Fruit Tree, no one had ever shown off about it or come out to discuss what had happened.

And that was very strange. Normally, if there were already many teams that had gotten this reward, there would be players flaunting about their achievements.

Something was wrong!

His guess was that it was not just some normal banquet, and there should be other elements in it.

The elements of quests within the game were quite interesting and did not follow the usual shticks. For example, the Uproar in Heaven quest was completely different from the classical version found in Journey to the West. It could even be said that it was of two completely different versions.

That meant that some of the quests or events could not be deduced through normal methods.

"We now have a full party! Never thought that we could find the game's top beauty and healer, as well as the game's top attacker with 20,000 attack, Jiang Feng. Looks like the first place will be ours!"

Xiao Batian did not expect his party to have two famous people within the game, and that made him extremely excited.

When the five-man-party was ready to leave, they came to the gate and summoned their steeds to fly toward their destination.

Xiao Batian, Ba Tian Xiao, and Luo Wushuang all summoned flying steeds at the third or fourth rank. Ling Feiyu summoned a Rank 9 Unicorn steed.

"Ling Feiyu is indeed powerful. Her steed is the Unicorn, a steed that can grow to a level 18 Divine Beast." Xiao Batian and his two other companions became envious when they saw Ling Feiyu's summon.

Ling Feiyu was a quiet person. She said little, and jumped on her Unicorn.

"About... About that, I don't have a steed. Can anyone carry me along?" Seeing that all four of them were on their steeds, Jiang Feng was feeling a bit awkward.

Because of his mask, others could not see his expression, so they did not know that he was not being awkward. Instead, he was helpless.

Out of his followers, Heifeng and Thunderclap Mantis both could fly. The Monster Cloud was at the top when it came to flying steeds. Unfortunately, if he summoned any of them, his identity would be immediately exposed.

"Heh, so much for being the best. He doesn't even have a steed." Ba Tianxiao mumbled coldly, and Luo Wushuang sneered at him.

"Our steeds are too low level and can't carry two people. Why don't you run over and we'll wait for you there?" Xiao Batian said to Jiang Feng.

As soon as Xiao Batian said so, Ling Feiyu glanced at Jiang Feng from on top of her Unicorn and said, "Come up!"

Hearing Ling Feiyu's invitation, Xia Batian, Ba Tianxiao, and Luo Wushuang were all shocked. They then showed expressions of envy.

If they could, they would even give up their steeds for Jiang Feng and take a ride on Ling Feiyu's Unicorn.

Seeing Ling Feiyu's sincere invitation, Jiang Feng climbed up the unicorn and said, "I don't think this is alright... I don't think I should do this... I don't think this is appropriate... I don't think you have to do this..."

He was finally riding together with Ling Feiyu on her Unicorn as he mumbled. His two arms wrapped around her waist, and said, "I'm ready. Let's go."

"How shameless!" Xiao Batian, Ba Tianxiao, and Luo Wushuang all silently cursed under their breaths.

If Heifeng and Yanhu were here, they would no doubt stare at him and gave him a thumbs up and yell out, "Boss, good job!"

Chapter 137: Being Too Powerful is a Form of Helplessness

Ling Feiyu said nothing about Jiang Feng's shamelessness.

When Jiang Feng wrapped his hands around her waist, her body quivered for a bit as she frowned.

Her feet moved a little as the Unicorn galloped in the air toward the direction of Wuzhuang Taoist Temple.

When the many players at Xihe City's Eastern Gate saw this, they were all shocked beyond belief.

The players paid a great deal of attention to Ling Feiyu as she was the game's top beauty.

Some of the celebrities would even lose to her in terms of physical appearance.

And currently, said beauty was being hugged by a man wearing a mask. Sounds of broken hearts could be heard from among the male players.

Xiao Batian and the other two could only look at Jiang Feng jealously when they followed behind Ling Feiyu.

"Remove your hands!"

After flying for a while and leaving the players, Ling Feiyu's cold voice sounded.

Jiang Feng pouted and removed his hands so that Ling Feiyu would not use the Female Protection Punishment.

At the beginning when he wrapped his arms around her waist, Ling Feiyu did not stop him. It made him pleased.

He knew that even if he could not get any beautiful women, he would still feel happy if he could have at least some level of physical contact.

He removed his hands and looked at his palms. He shrugged and no longer paid attention to Ling Feiyu. He looked at the Unicorn that they were riding on.

The Unicorn was like a white horse, but its color was of a pure white. Its mane was also smooth and soft, unlike Heifeng's rough hair.

It had a pair of huge white wings on its back. As it flapped, it would receive a burst of speed.

It had a silver horn on top of its head. Lightning was flashing on it. Like the Monster Cloud, it was a lightning elemental monster.

Lightning elemental monsters mostly had high magic attack and good crowd control.

Ling Feiyu was a Priest, which meant that she did not have much in terms of offensive skills. However, with the help of the Unicorn, she became very powerful.

Her pet focused on dealing damage while she healed her pet. The two came together in perfect harmony.

"Jiang Feng, help me make a piece of equipment!"

Ling Feiyu's voice came when he was observing the Unicorn.

"Hm?" Jiang Feng was slightly surprised but understood why Ling Feiyu wanted him to share a steed with her. He then asked with a smile, "Why should I help you forge anything? What's in it for me?"

"I'll give you money!" Ling Feiyu said.

"How much?"

"As much as you want!"

"What is the level of the equipment? What parts?"

"Level 40. Weapon. Best if it's Yellow-Gold level or above!"

"200,000 cash. We can trade now and I can give you the weapon immediately!"

He transmuted a Jewel of the Snow Soul from the Snow Monkey King last time, and it fitted what Ling Feiyu wanted.

He originally planned to auction it off at the Imperial Dragon Auction house. However, now that he had a buyer, he was going to sell it to her.

At this stage, he still lacked money. He still needed around 3,000,000 to completely repair the Ancient City.

While he had auctioned off some Experience Pills and equipment from the siege and earned around 2,000,000, a majority of those funding had been spent on building the Smithy and Herbal Shop. The Imperial Dragon Auction house only had around 1,000,000 left. If he wanted to fully repair the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, he still needed around 2,000,000 more.

"It's too expensive!" Ling Feiyu said.

"Look at what I have, and you can decide if it's overpriced!" Jiang Feng gave her a smile. He then took out the Jewel of the Snow Soul and showed it to her.

When Ling Feiyu saw the stats of the Jewel of the Snow Soul, she slightly trembled. She then quickly opened up the trade menu and traded 200,000gp to Jiang Feng.

"Nice!"

After he received the money, he then traded the Jewel of the Snow Soul to Ling Feiyu.

The stats of the Jewel of the Snow Soul were comparable to a Dark-Gold Equipment. That was why Ling Feiyu did not even negotiate and directly traded with him.

Ling Feiyu: Level 39 Priest

Faction: None

HPs: 35,420

Magic Attack: 18,900

Defense: 7,893

After equipping the Jewel of the Snow Soul, Ling Feiyu's stats improved greatly. Even her attack had almost reached 19,000.

Looking at Ling Feiyu, most of the equipment on her was of White-Silver quality. It seemed like she had spent a lot on the set of equipment.

What made him curious was that Ling Feiyu did not choose to enter any faction.

"Why didn' you choose to join any factions?" He asked her curiously.

"It's pointless," She answered plainly

He could not continue the conversation thanks to her answer, and he chose to give up on continuing on with that conversation. Mainly because they had reached their destination.

The Wuzhuang Taoist Temple was on Mount Qingcheng, and there were some humanoid NPCs.

These humanoid NPCs were Maddened Apprentice Taoists.

They were considered to be a type of monster in the game, only that they were humanoids. They could be killed and would respawn after a period of time like normal monsters after they had died.

Maddened Apprentice Taoist: Level 35 Normal NPC

HPs: 250,000

Attack: 11,000 – 13,000

Defense: 6,000

Skills: Hack

These Maddened Apprentice Taoists all held a longsword in hand and roamed around the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple.

There were already many parties and groups farming monsters here, making it a very lively place.

He looked at the players that were all farming the Invitation Letters. He noticed that once they had farmed enough Invitation Letters, they would head to the grand Wuzhuang Taoist Temple. The two level 100 NPC Apprentice Taoists would open the gates to let them enter.

"Stop standing idly around! Farm those Invitation Letters!"

Xiao Batian, Ba Tianxiao, Luo Wushuang said to the two of them as they landed next to Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu.

Jiang Feng and Ling Yufei nodded and started to farm monsters.

To stop himself from grabbing too much attention, he took out his Newbie Sword.

"Why are you still using a Newbie Sword?" Xiao Batian asked Jiang Feng with a frown. He felt that Jiang Feng was not here to farm monsters but was here for a stroll.

"I failed in empowering a weapon yesterday and it disappeared. I've sworn that unless I forge a Spiritual Artifact, I will only use a Newbie Sword to kill monsters!" He lied when he heard Xiao Batian's question.

Ling Feiyu looked at him with curiosity.

Actually, he could transform the Jingu Staff into a sword. However, that would expose his attack. The reason that he had removed all equipment on him was to lower his attack power.

"Alright, let's start farming monsters. Don't drag us down!"

Xiao Batian said as he was unhappy with Jiang Feng's relaxed approach to that. He then summoned his flying pet and attacked a Maddened Apprentice Taoist.

In a short while, Xiao Batian killed a Maddened Apprentice Taoist that was holding a sword and coming toward them.

As the primary DPS in the party, Jiang Feng had to attack. He attacked it with his sword.

-24,355.

Just when Ling Feiyu, Ba Tianxiao, and Luo Wushuang wanted to attack, they were stunned looking at the damage that floated out. They turned to Jiang Feng curiously.

"Hehe, I have a piece of equipment that increases 50% critical damage! Critical damage, no need to be surprised!"

Hearing Jiang Feng's explanation, the others were astonished and all showed some envy. Especially Luo Wushuang who could not hide his jealousy.

A piece of equipment that increased critical damage by fifty percent! It was especially and fatally attractive for assassins.

He didn not realize that after removing all his equipment, he would still have around 30,000 attack. Luckily, there was no special effect when a critical damage had occurred, or he would have been exposed.

His explanation was also on point and the others believed him. All of them attacked the Apprentice Taoist with their weapons.

-47,438.

When Jiang Feng made a critical hit. The damage surprised the others again, and all four of them looked at him.

"I have a skill that adds 200%, and I triggered a critical damage, so... you know." Jiang Feng tried his best to explain it again and continued to attack.

But Xiao Batian, Ba Tianxiao, and Luo Wushuang all thought that Jiang Feng was showing off.

And Ba Tianxiao, who said Jiang Feng had no combat experience, was so angry that his face had turned red.

With an attack power that high, there was no need for him to micro. He could easily kill a level 35 monster like he was cutting vegetables.

Next, Jiang Feng stopped attacking the Apprentice Taoist's weaknesses to avoid dealing critical damage.

In a short while, the Apprentice Taoist fell onto the ground. He did not dare to snatch the last hit.

Because if he killed a humanoid NPC, items would drop. With his 100 points worth of luck, the drop would be very good.

'Sigh, getting too powerful and getting too high a luck, it's one form of helplessness as well!' Jiang Feng shook his head as he looked at Xiao Batian who had picked up an Invitation Letter and a few dozen bronze pieces.

He did not dare to show his true power. If he did, he could clear up the monsters in front of him easily.

However, he had some concerns. Since other than the inheritors, his power could not be compared with the other players. Once he had been exposed, they would start to suspect him. Who would want to group up with him again? If no one wanted to party up with him, he would have to attack the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple directly. The Taoist temple had Divine-Level NPCs defending it. Attacking it directly would be a suicide mission.

Chapter 138: Skills Suppressing All

The Maddened Apprentice Taoist was only at level 35.

All the members of Jiang Feng's party were above level 35.

Under his careful farming of the monsters, they finally managed to get fifty Invitation Letters.

When killing the monsters, some interludes occurred. For example, they were still surprised whenever a critical hit was dealt.

Also, when Ling Yufei's beauty attracted some people who were not afraid to die, she would solo all five despite being a priest.

Afterward, no one dared to go and tease her again.

Of course, some knew who he was and requested that he make equipment for them. However, when they started to sneer at him after he rejected them, he destroyed another party with one blade for each of the players.

Because of that, no one dared to come and disturb him anymore,

Xiao Batian took out fifty Invitation Letters and led them to the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple.

The Apprentice Taoist glanced at them, took the Invitation Letter, and let them in.

When they entered the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, a long path appeared in front of them. At the end of the path was a great hall, and the two sides were smaller buildings.

"Honored guests, this way please!"

At this point in time, the ten tables were already filled. Other than one table where the two NPCs Qingfeng and Mingyue were seated, the other tables were seated with players that were joining the banquet.

"The guests that we have invited have arrived. Please be seated, and enjoy the feast!"

When Qingfeng saw Jiang Feng and his party enter, he exchanged a glance with Mingyue, and then stood up and said to Mingyue and the rest that were already seated.

Jiang Feng did not pay any attention to the interest that they had attracted and seated themselves at an empty table.

The table was huge and was of a rectangular shape. It could easily allow ten people to stand on it. On the table was a feast of good food and wine.

What surprised him slightly was that his peers, Wang Wei and Zhao Yang were there too and were seated next to them.

Wang Wei's eyes were glued on Ling Feiyu, and his eyes were filled with a burning passion. He was not the only one. He could also feel the eyes of other players staring at Ling Feiyu, as if they wanted to eat her up.

Jiang Feng did not care that much and ate the food that was served on the table in big gulps.

The only thing that he wanted to do was to get the Ginseng Fruits and leave the place quickly.

"Everyone, now that we have feasted, we shall choose the winner of the first place. The winner shall be greatly rewarded. Now, step up to the table!" Mingyue smiled wickedly as he stood up.

Hm?

Seeing Mingyue's smile, Jiang Feng frowned. At this time, he realized that Ling Feiyu was staring at Mingyue, as if she had discovered something.

"Something's about to happen, be careful!"

Ling Feiyu quickly said to the party through the party chat.

When Xiao Batian, Ba Tianxiao, and Luo Wushuang looked at Ling Feiyu, wanting to ask her what was going on, she would no longer say a word.

"Go!"

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Someone yelled out from a table close to them, and all the players from the other tables all stood onto the table. The table could easily fit five.

Looking at the players standing on the table, Jiang Feng finally realized why they had prepared such big tables.

The test was done on the table.

He jumped up onto the table and kicked the dishes onto the ground. Ling Feiyu and the other three did not hesitate and joined him on the table.

Qing Feng looked at all of them standing on the table, and smiled. "We can proceed with the test. Those who had been killed or fell off the table would be eliminated. The test begins now!"

Once the test had begun, players from a table opposite theirs had begun fighting players from another nearby table.

He took a plate of peanuts and sat at the edge of the table. He then looked at the other players battle it out as he ate the peanuts.

Looking at how easy-going he looked, Ling Feiyu and the others rolled their eyes.

Ba Tianxiao said to him angrily, "Jiang Feng, I hope that you can be more serious and have some team spirit."

Jiang Feng ignored him and ate his peanuts.

"You..."

Just as Ba Tianxiao was about to say something to Jiang Feng, Wang Wei from the next table said to Ling Feiyu with a smile. "Ling Feiyu, top of the Beauty Leaderboard. If you promise to have dinner with me, I'll let you live. How's that?"

From the way he looked at it, Ling Feiyu was just a priest. She would not be his match, and he was pleased.

"Idiot!" Jiang Feng glanced at Wang Wei and said to him with a sneer.

"What the hell did you just say, kid? Do you think I can't kill you?" When Wang Wei heard Jiang Feng's response, he spat angrily as he stared at him.

"Ahaha! Idiot."

Jiang Feng spat out the peanut from his mouth and it landed in Wang Wei's mouth. He then laughed out loud.

"Everyone, kill him!"

Wang Wei was absolutely enraged. He took out his pair of guns and started firing at Jiang Feng.

"Rockfall!"

Jiang Feng did not care about Wang Wei's attack. He waved his hand and used his Rockfall skill.

Bang!

Wang Wei only managed to fire two shots before rocks appeared on him, killing him instantly!

When the other four who were alright saw that Wang Wei had been killed, they became enraged and used all their attacks on him.

"Ha... So pointless, it has ended!"

Jiang Feng stood up and stretched, then threw the plate of peanuts at Zhao Yang and said, "Slam of Mount Tai!"

Rumbles!

With that move, a giant rock ten meters wide came crashing down and killed the players on three tables.

-46,623.

-49,412.

-50,231.

...

All the other players that saw this all stopped their fighting as they looked at Jiang Feng with shock.

"Stop looking. If you want to make a move, do it now. If not, jump off the table yourself!" Jiang Feng said to the players on the other tables impatiently.

Ling Feiyu crossed her arms with a smile and looked at him with interest.

Xiao Batian, Ba Tianxiao, and Luo Wushuang had become speechless. Only now did they understand Jiang Feng's true power.

They saw it just now. When the mountain came crashing down, all the players had a damage number of around 50,000 floating out of their heads.

Even with the increment of skills, it would be impossible for it to be that high!

What they did not know was that Jiang Feng's attack was 38,000. The basic damage from Slam of Mount Tai was 150%, so there was an increase of 1.5 times. That meant that it could deal around 60,000 damage.

"Kill him now!"

Seeing that Jiang Feng was their biggest threat, they did not care why Jiang Feng's attack would be so powerful. They all jumped to the next table and rushed toward Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng smirked and he Blinked, appearing behind the five other players. In a few waves with his Newbie Sword, he instantly killed the five. He then rushed to the other players. In but a short moment, only their party remained in the entire great hall.

"Congratulations to you five, you have won first place. Please come with me to get your prizes!" Mingyue said to them once he saw that they were the victor, and walked toward the side door of the hall.

"You... Who are you?" Xiao Batian asked Jiang Feng when they followed Mingyue and Qingfeng through the side door in a group.

"Just a spiritual level smith," Jiang Feng said as he shrugged.

His answer made the other three frown.

Ling Feiyu scanned Jiang Feng from top to bottom, it was unclear what she was thinking about.

Hm?

Under Qingfeng's and Mingyue's guidance, they went through a few corridors. When they finally reached the backyard, what surprised Jiang Feng and the others was that there was already a player and an old man having tea under a giant tree that had grown a tree full of cute babies.

"Qiu Si!"

Jiang Feng frowned when he saw the player that was drinking tea with the old man.

Chapter 139: Even If There is No Turning Back? Then I Will Not Turn Back!

Jiang Feng could never have anticipated that Qiu Si would be within Wuzhuang Taoist Temple.

And he never would have thought that the old man sitting opposite Qiu Si was the Chief Taoist Zhenyuanzi.

Zhenyuanzi was a Divine Level NPC. Why would he be having such a good time with Qiu Si?

He could not figure out their relationship, hence he shifted his attention to the Ginseng Fruit Tree that was right on top of them now.

Ginseng Fruit: Divine Level Medicinal Herb

Upon consumption, increases all stats by 50%.

Consume prerequisite: Divine race

All stats increased by 50% was the same as all stats being increased by 0.5 times. The higher the stats were at the time of consumption, the better the effects were. Unfortunately, it could only be eaten by the players from the Divine faction. He could not use it even if he had them.

"Master, we have brought the winners here!" Mingyue and Qingyun approached them and said to Zhenyuanzi respectfully.

"Alright, I know. Now, leave us be."

Zhenyuanzi turned and waved his hand at Mingyue and Qingyun in a sage-like manner.

At this time, Qiu Si looked at them. When he saw Ling Feiyu, he was initially excited. However, he immediately frowned and there was regret in his eyes.

'Hm? Something is wrong!'

Jiang Feng, who was observing Qiu Si all the while, saw the change of expression on his face, and he frowned as well.

"All five of you, congratulations on winning in the banquet! Please, follow me!"

Zhenyuanzi said and waved his hand, and indeed, a cave opened up from the Ginseng Fruit Tree's huge trunk.

Xiao Batian, Ba Tianxiao, and Luo Wushuang swiftly approached it in an excited manner.

Ling Feiyu and he exchanged a glance and moved slowly.

"The Sap of the Ginseng Fruit Tree is within the tree trunk. Follow the path in the tree trunk and you will see a pool. Remember, each of you can only drink it once. Now, please!" Zhenyuanzi said and gave them all a kind smile.

Xiao Batian, Ba Tianxiao, and Luo Wushuang could not wait for it and quickly entered the hole in the tree. Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu hesitated before entering.

Crack!

The moment they went in, the strong scent of blood invaded their nostrils and the entrance into the tree trunk was closed up.

The inside was not dark at all. Instead, it was radiating a faint, red light.

There was a flight of stairs that was woven from tree roots heading downward in front of them.

"Something's wrong!" Ling Feiyu said with a grimace.

Jiang Feng agreed with a frown and said, "I agree, something is not right here!"

"There's nothing wrong here. This is just a game," Ba Tianxiao looked at Jiang Feng with a sneer, then ran down the stairs made of tree roots.

Xiao Batian and Luo Wushuang followed him tightly.

"Idiots!"

Jiang Feng mocked the three of them who had rushed down and then put his ears at the already closed entrance of the tree.

Ling Feiyu did not leave and mirrored what he did as she approached the closed entrance.

"Haha! Master Zhenyuan! With the Ginseng Fruit getting enough nutrients, my power would greatly increase again."

"Yes, your plan was excellent. If not, the Ginseng Fruit Tree would not be able to gain so much nutrients. Worry not, as the Inheritor of the Divines, I would train you to the best of my ability."

"You praise me too much, Master Zhenyuan. If it isn't because of the effects of your Saintly Artifact, the Earth Book, this would have already been exposed."

"Just as I thought! Looks like the so-called reward, the tree sap of the Ginseng Fruit Tree was just a trap plotted by the Divines' Inheritor and the Divine-Level NPC! There is no tree sap of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and there is no reward at all!" Jiang Feng became extremely serious.

He had never thought of the possibility that a player and NPC could co-design a quest.

Logically speaking, this should be a unique selling point for this game. But he could not accept that they would co-design this kind of quest! He was extremely angered!

Ling Feiyu was similarly angered, and she became extremely cold.

"Ah..."

At this time, a painful scream came from under the tree trunk.

When Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu heard the scream, both of them ran down following the stairs woven from tree roots.

The further they went, the heavier the scent of blood was.

When they had reached the bottom, their face instantly turned pale.

There was a giant blood pool in front of them, and within the blood pool were pieces of corpses, and the entire place was surrounded by white bones.

What made the two become even more infuriated was that there were twelve children around the blood pool, and ten roots were injected into the heads of each of the twelve children.

The twelve children had already killed Xiao Batian and the others, and they were gnawing on their corpses, using their flesh as nutrients.

When their corpses had been completely picked clean, their bones turned white and slowly disappeared.

At this time, a book appeared in the middle of the blood pool, and a bolt of light shot at the three disappearing rays of light.

His guess was that the book's ability was to conceal the players' memories of how they died.

The twelve babies all started crying as tears flowed out after they had eaten all the flesh and blood.

"Mommy... I want my mommy..."

Their voices were filled with sorrow and bitterness, as well as hatred and violence.

At this time, they saw Jiang Feng and Ling Yufei. The twelve babies became violent even though they were crying. "If we eat you, we can then see mommy again... Eat... Eat... Eat..."

Looking at the bones scattered on the ground, the thick blood in the blood pool, and the twelve babies that were pouncing toward him, Jiang Feng tightened his fist despite his trembling body. He roared, "Using babies to support the growth of the Ginseng Fruit Tree?! And then using human flesh to feed them?! Zhenyuanzi, you monster!"

"Jingu Staff, grow! I will uproot this tree that feeds on bones!"

He took out the Jingu Staff and it grew endlessly. It quickly grew to the ceiling of the tree trunk, but it did not stop growing, and it continued to expand upward.

"You are the Inheritor of Shifters!" Ling Feiyu said as she looked at the Jingu Staff. She had her suspicion.

"If you don't want to die, scram!"

Jiang Feng removed his mask and said to Ling Feiyu coldly.

She saw Jiang Feng's handsome face that had trails of blood coming from his eyes, and his eyes were blood-red.

Seeing Jiang Feng's form, Ling Feiyu remembered the bloodied man that fought to protect the Ancient City during the siege. Something stirred within her heart, stabbing at her heart.

"I am not afraid to die. If we die, we will die together. Let us fight together!" Ling Feiyu said with authority as she took out the Jewel of the Snow Soul. "If you were daring enough to make Heaven turn for you, why can I not let the same Heaven tilt for me?"

Ling Feiyu's words stunned Jiang Feng. He did not think that there would be another woman that was as assertive as him!

Boom!

At this time, the Jingu Staff broke through the tree trunk and a hole appeared.

"Will you fight together with me to leave this place?" Jiang Feng asked Ling Feiyu.

"I will!" Ling Feiyu

"Even if there is no turning back?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Then I will not turn back!" Ling Feiyu answered.

"Haha! Then let us kill them all!"

Jiang Feng let out a mad laugh as he summoned the Monster Cloud and brought both of them toward the hole.

Once they were out of the hole, he quickly took out the Divine Level Harvest Scroll and immediately used it.

"Harvest!"

Ding. System Prompt: Harvest successful. Harvest proficiency 100,000.

"Harvest!"

Ding. System Prompt: Harvest successful. Harvest proficiency 100,000.

...

After they burst through the hole, they appeared behind the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Looking at the Ginseng Fruit Tree, he did not destroy it immediately. He harvested the Ginseng Fruits for Uncle Hua to research on making pills to remove the Infernal Miasma.

"You thief! How dare you steal my Ginseng Fruits! Die!"

When he was harvesting the fifth Ginseng Fruit, Zhenyuanzi and Qiu Si who were at the front flew over when they heard the commotion.

"The Monster Cloud is yours to command temporarily. Interrupt Qiu Si, I will go destroy the Ginseng Fruit Tree!"

With that, Jiang Feng dispelled his Polymorph that was only going to last a few more minutes anyway, and returned to the form of a dragon.

With the Jingu Staff in hand, he enlarged it and slammed it toward the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

"How dare you, thief?!"

Zhenyuanzi appeared right next to Jiang Feng in the blink of an eye and thrust his palm toward his head.

Chapter 140: Identity Exposed?

Jiang Feng was not a savior.

But anyone with a little bit of humanity left in them would be enraged at what was happening.

The only ones that would not be moved by the scene were perhaps the hypocrites from the Divines.

With the enlarged Jingu Staff in his hand, he slammed it at the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

"You thief! How dare you!"

The kindly old man Zhenyuanzi became vicious at this instant. He did not look like he was a God. He looked like he was a Demon.

In the blink of an eye, he came next to Jiang Feng and slammed at Jiang Feng with his palm.

"Talisman of Invulnerability!"

Seeing Zhenyuanzi's attack, he quickly used the Talisman of Invulnerability.

Talisman of Invulnerability: Spiritual Level Talisman. Becomes invulnerable within 1 minute after use.

Boom!

After he had used the Talisman of Invulnerability, Jiang Feng was also slammed onto the ground by Zhenyuanzi.

Seeing that Qiu Si was heading toward Jiang Feng with the Divine Dragon Sword in hand, Ling Feiyu summoned her Unicorn and rode on it as she flew toward Qiu Si.

Buzz!

The Unicorn fired a bolt of lightning at Qiu Si.

Qiu Si was forced to take a step back and he looked at Ling Feiyu as he stood on top of the Blazing Eagle.

Ling Feiyu took out her Jewel of the Snow Soul as she stood on top of the Monster Cloud, and said to Qiu Si coldly, "Your opponent is me!"

"Do you know that he's the Inheritor of the Shifters and our enemy?" Qiu Si said as he looked at Ling Feiyu.

"Enemy? Haha..." Ling Feiyu laughed. "All I saw was that God using babies as roots and human flesh and blood as nutrients to plant such an evil tree for his own purposes. What is the difference between a God and Demon then? The Gods that act this way would only make us sick! On the other hand, the Inheritor of the Shifters is just! He is better than you Gods a hundred, thousand-fold!"

"This is just a game! They wouldn't really die!" Qiu Si said to Ling Feiyu with a frown.

"A game? The NPCs in this game are sentient and have a life! Perhaps to them, we are the NPCs! If I want to have you become the tree's nutrients, are you willing to do it? Answer me, will you accept it?!" The more Ling Feiyu spoke, the colder her expression became. Who would have guessed that the most beautiful woman in the game would become this angry?

"The Gods are the Gods. The Shifters are the Shifters. The Gods are always right, and the Shifters are always wrong! Move aside, I don't want to kill you!" Qiu Si said to Ling Feiyu.

"Why don't you give it a try then?!" Ling Feiyu said coldly and waved her hand. The Jewel of the Snow Soul attacked Qiu Si as a white mist enveloped it.

Just when Ling Feiyu and Qiu Si were fighting, Jiang Feng had entered into the Berserk status and confronted the God, Zhenyuanzi.

But he was not attacking Zhenyuanzi. He kept on using his Jingu staff to attack the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Each time he attacked the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Zhenyuanzi would slam him away. He would then crawl up from the ground and attack the Ginseng Fruit Tree again.

He had one minute's worth of invulnerability. Zhenyuanzi could not kill him even though he was a God!

Although Zhenyuanzi could not kill him, each of his attacks would cause pain to flood through his body, making him feel as if his bones were being smashed to smithereens.

His sense of pain had been increased to above ninety percent. As such, each time when he was slammed into the ground, he felt as if he was rammed by a car back in reality.

At the moment, he had lost many of his dragon scales as blood flowed out from his wounds. Fortunately, while he was bleeding, he did not lose any HPs thanks to the Talisman of Invulnerability.

His giant dragon body was slightly arched as he stared at Zhenyuanzi.

"You dare to stand against a God? You must have a death wish!" Zhenyuanzi turned his open palm into a closing fist, and a few rocks suddenly appeared around Jiang Feng from the ground and struck him.

"God? You planted a tree with bones and fed it with flesh and blood! In my eyes, you Gods are even viler than the Demons!"

"This is the Caohuan Pill! Gods can become stronger after eating them. There would only be peace when the Gods are powerful! So what if a few must sacrifice themselves? They should consider it an honor to be able to sacrifice themselves for the gods!" As a God, Zhenyuanzi could understand his speech. He smiled coldly as he heard Jiang Feng's words.

"Including the newborns?" Jiang Feng stared straight at Zhenyuanzi as he slowly lifted his head.

"They were given life by the Gods. If the Gods want them to die, then they will die!" Zhenyuanzi looked at Jiang Feng with disgust.

Looking at the expiring duration of the Talisman of Invulnerability, he clenched his fist around the Jingu Staff as he looked at the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Whoosh!

He waved the Jingu Staff and pointed it at Zhenyuanzi and said coldly, "I will uproot this tree at another time!"

With that, he used his Blink skill and appeared on top of the Monster Cloud. He took out the Teleportation Cauldron. He enlarged his dragon claw and grabbed at Ling Feiyu, who only had a slither of life left, and jumped into it.

"You think you can escape after stealing my Caohuan Pill from me?!"

When Zhenyuanzi saw that JIangfeng was going to leave, he quickly used his skill and smashed at the Teleportation Cauldron.

Boom!

The skill landed on the Teleportation Cauldron. Although it had been thrown into the air by the attack, the teleportation was not canceled. After it traveled in the air for a few moments, it disappeared.

"Master Zhenyuan, looks like we can no longer organize the banquets for the time being. We've been exposed!" Qiu Si said as he came next to Zhenyuanzi.

"If that is the case, it is pointless to let those outside live. We have lost so many fruits, we need to have them replaced!" Zhenyuanzi said.

He then left the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple and used his Sleeved Heaven and Earth skill to collect all the players that were still farming for the Invitation Letters. He then threw them all into the cave underneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

"Ah..."

Next, painful screams came from within.

...

Wangyou Peak, close to Nanhai City.

The very space on top of Wangyou Peak began to ripple, and a giant cauldron fell on top of it.

Boom!

The thunderous sound of a crash shocked the birds and animals into escaping everywhere.

Screech...

The cauldron's lid was opened up. Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu jumped out from within.

"Cough..."

Jiang Feng felt that his stomach was churning, and he vomited blood as soon as he exited.

"Damn it... Why was the game designed to be so realistic, vomiting blood..."

Jiang Feng could not hold his sarcasm back as he wiped away the blood from his mouth.

"Are you alright?" Ling Feiyu looked at the Teleportation Cauldron, then turned and asked Jiang Feng, who had shrunk into a small dragon.

Hearing her words, Jiang Feng put away the Teleportation Cauldron and walked toward Ling Feiyu, "How did you know that I am the Shifters' Inheritor?"

He remembered that when he took out the Jingu Staff at Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, Ling Feiyu mentioned something along the lines of, 'I knew it, you're the Shifters' Inheritor.'

From that, he knew that Ling Feiyu had already found out about his real identity.

Ling Feiyu looked at Jiang Feng who had turned into a little snake and said something to her, she frowned and replied, "I don't understand what you are saying!"

Jiang Feng gave Ling Feiyu a look, then took out and consumed the Polymorph Pill. He had something he wanted to ask Ling Feiyu, so he needed to communicate with her.

"I said, how did you know that I'm the Shifters' Inheritor?" Jiang Feng asked Ling Feiyu after he polymorphed into human form.

"Simple. Though you had dyed your hair black, there were still a few strands of silver hair. Though you were wearing a mask, I could still see your red eyes when the light shines a certain way. And your attack is very high, only an inheritor has such power. Other than the Shifters' Inheritor, I don't know anyone that would fit all three criteria," Ling Feiyu said. "However, I didn't know that the Shifters' Inheritor would also be a player, am I right? Jiang Feng?"

"I hope that you won't leak this out and help me hide my identity," Jiang Feng said coldly.

When he entered Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, Qiu Si did not check Jiang Feng's stats so he did not know that he was really Jiang Feng. Even if he knew, all Ling Feiyu needed to say was that he had been eaten by the Ginseng Fruit Tree. Then, Jiang Feng and the Shifters' Inheritor would not be linked anymore.

As for Xiao Batian, Ba Tianxiao, and Luo Wushuang, their memories had been hidden by the Saintly Artifact, the Earth Book in Wuzhuang Taoist Temple. Even if they were revived, they would not know what had happened in the temple.

That meant that only Ling Feiyu knew his true identity. As long as Ling Feiyu did not say anything about it, no one would know who he was.

"I want to go take a look at the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. If you agree, I will choose to forget what happened earlier." Ling Feiyu then continued to say, "I'm not trying to make a deal with you. I'm simply curious about the Ancient City. You can refuse, and I will still forget what happened before this!"

"Alright!" If she wanted to simply take a look at the Ancient City, he did not think that it would be that big of a deal. He opened the management panel for the Ancient City and created a Town Portal Scroll to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, and gave it to her. "Since you're not a Shifter, nor a resident of the Ancient City, you would not be able to use the Town Portal skill to go there. You can use this scroll to teleport over."

"Alright," Ling Feiyu accepted the scroll, then sent him a Friend Request. She then used the Town Portal Scroll and made her way to the Ancient City.

Jiang Feng looked at the Friend Request in front of him hesitantly but accepted it in the end.

Since she knew of his true identity, perhaps he could find a use for her in the future.

"Time to go back and finish the quest!"

Although he did not destroy the Ginseng Fruit Tree, he did manage to get some Ginseng Fruits and that would be sufficient to complete Uncle Hua's quest. As for the other herbs, all he needed was to have Uncle Fu buy them through the Imperial Dragon Auction House.

With that, he used the Town Portal Skill and headed toward the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.

Chapter 141: What Sense of Aesthetics is This?

Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, Herbal Store.

After he had returned to the Ancient City, Jiang Feng did not go and find Ling Feiyu. Instead, he headed toward the Herbal Store.

Ling Feiyu was someone very cold, but she was still someone trustworthy as she was willing to help him.

Because of that, she trusted Ling Feiyu and saved her at the end of it all.

Although his identity had already been exposed to Ling Feiyu, he was fine with it either way. His identity would be exposed eventually. He would simply have to deal with some problems earlier.

Even if Ling Feiyu was a scoundrel and announced his identity, what then?

Make his real-life enemies look for him?

That would not make sense. Jiang Feng was such a common name, and they would never find him as he was from the slums.

Even if they wanted to find him, it would take at least a year or two.

Even if the police had obtained a lot of a criminal's personal information, they still needed quite a long time to capture the escaping criminal.

Not to mention, they only had a name!

Since he had chosen to believe in Ling Feiyu, then he would not be afraid that his identity would be exposed.

'What kind of equipment is the Saintly Artifact, the Earth book? For it to be able to hide the players' memories within a short time... Is it something like the movie "Battle of Memories? That it could steal others' memories? I need to get it if I have the chance.' He thought to himself as he suddenly remembered Zhenyuanzi's Saintly Artifact, the Earth Book. It made him recall a movie that had a famous actor casted in it.

He shook his head so he would stop thinking about these things.

Once he had arrived at the Herbal Store, he then saw Uncle Hua organizing the medicine drawers.

Hua Yan was covered in a layer of cloth and placed on a rattan chair.

"Uncle Hua," He came next to Uncle Hua after he entered the Herbal Store.

"Xiao Feng, you came back so soon?" Uncle Hua asked curiously, then he looked at Jiang Feng after he had entered.

Jiang Feng did not say anything but took out the three Ginseng Fruits from his spatial bracelet, and handed them to Uncle Hua. He still had two on him.

"Gah..."

After the Ginseng Fruits had been taken out, they bared their fangs and pounced toward his palm.

Seeing what was happening, he quickly took out a Medicinal Furnace and threw the three restless Ginseng Fruits into it.

"They are indeed Ginseng Fruits, thank you. With these three fruits, perhaps I can discover a type of pill that could remove the Infernal Miasma," Uncle Hua held the giant Medicinal Furnace in his hand and said excitedly.

Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the "Retrieve 3 Ginseng Fruits" quest. You have received 500,000 experience points.

Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching Level 42. You have received 3 free attribute points.

"Xiao Feng, I can sense the hate growing within you. Your eyes have become even redder. You have to be careful and stop killing for now, or else you would lose your mind," Uncle Hua said to Jiang Feng earnestly just as he was about to leave.

Even without Uncle Hua telling him, he knew. During the event at Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, the old him would not have become so furious when he was under the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

After all, he was a Shifter. Was he just when he had slain so many during the siege?

The Ginseng Fruit Tree's existence was indeed quite evil as it had slaughtered countless people.

However, were his hands cleared of the blood of NPCs and players?

For their own profit, the Gods had killed the players from the Divine and Infernal factions.

For his own profit, he had been killing monsters from the same race as him and other players.

At the heart of it all, they were not so different.

The only reason he became so angry was because of the tears of the twelve babies. His mind had been controlled by his rage.

The moment he thought of that, he trembled and began to admire the designers of this game.

As people become enraged back in reality, they would lose their minds as well. Some of them would accidentally kill the ones they love in a rage. Some of them could not find release from their rage and chose to give up on themselves. And some of the people, when enraged, chose to do something that even they would never understand.

It can be said that even in-game if one had become too angry, one would lose their minds too.

"Yes, I will control my emotions." Jiang Feng nodded. He then turned and walked out of the Herbal Store.

Just as he had turned, he then saw Ling Feiyu standing right outside the Herbal Store. She looked at him impassively.

"Looking for me?" Jiang Feng asked Ling Feiyu curiously.

"Buying medicine," She said. She then continued, "And looking for you too!"

When Uncle Hua heard that Ling Feiyu wanted to buy medicine, he smiled and said, "Miss, the shop is not opened yet. We don't have any medicine to sell."

When she heard what he said, Ling Feiyu then scanned Uncle Hua. After she saw Uncle Hua's stats, she was surprised.

She did not expect the Ancient City that had just been recently rebuilt to have a Divine-Rank Pharmacist operating the Herbal Store. It felt rather surreal.

"Is there something you want?"

Jiang Feng looked at the surprised Ling Feiyu with a smile.

"Are there any houses on sale in the Ancient City? I would like to buy one," Ling Feiyu said.

"There are. Which area are you looking at?"

Why was he expanding the city? To sell properties, of course! There was a buyer even before the city was opened, so naturally, he would not say no to his first business.

"I want one house at Shuiyun Waterfall. How much is it?" Ling Feiyu asked.

Jiang Feng opened the map for the distribution of houses for the Ancient City.

The Shuiyun Waterfall was to the East of the Ancient City. There was a waterfall that flowed from a mountain peak from behind the Ancient City. It also had overwater pagodas and whatnot, but it only had three residences. It was the most scenic location in the Ancient City.

"3,000,000!" Jiang Feng gave her a price after he had taken a look.

The price was quite reasonable. Not only was it scenic, but it was also huge. Craft-Profession skills that had to do with planting would receive special benefits. If she had learned a craft-profession skill, she could plant some herbs, hemp plants, and rear fishes.

If her craft-profession skill was high enough, she could probably earn back her capital in a year. Even if she was not planning to plant anything, she could still make a profit by renting it out.

"Alright!"

Ling Feiyu was very direct as well. She quickly opened up her trading panel and placed the money in it.

Jiang Feng did not say much. He took out the deed for the house on the trading panel and traded with Ling Feiyu.

"Are you interested in leveling up?" Ling Feiyu asked after she had finished trading.

"Sure."

Now that he had nothing urgent to do, he agreed to it.

There were many monster territories behind the Ancient City. Those boss monsters were not his to command. He could use this chance to recruit them and have them watch after the mountains.

Due to the strength of those bosses, it would be easier if he had the assistance of the game's best healer.

Not only that, he could see what kind of a person Ling Feiyu was. If possible, he might have to ask her to help him do something that only players could.

After dealing with Shifters for so long, there was finally someone that could listen to what he had to say. Also, leveling up with a beauty that was similar to him in terms of personality could reduce some of his stress levels, suppressing the negative effects of Berserk and Slaughter.

After leaving the Herbal Store, he opened the Ancient City's management panel and spent all the money he had just earned from selling the house to repair the city walls and build other shops. In just a few moments, he had spent all of the money.

Ling Feiyu looked at what just happened and then asked Jiang Feng curiously, "You needed money?"

"Yeah. Though I'm the first group of players, I'm not as rich as most of you. Rebuilding the Ancient City requires millions, and I have to earn every dime," Jiang Feng said.

"Then why didn't you look for some merchants to help you? I saw many merchants wanting to find a way to find the location of the Ancient City of the Shifters. If you were to contact them, wouldn't you easily get the money that way? Ling Feiyu asked.

Jiang Feng could only respond weakly, "How do I contact them? I'm now a Shifter, a public enemy, an NPC. If I contact them, wouldn't I expose myself? I have to fully repair the Ancient City first."

Ling Feiyu nodded without saying anything.

They then reached the mountains behind the Ancient City and looked for a monster territory with level 50 monsters to level up.

In order to quicken his effort in recruiting the bosses, he called out Yanhu, Heifeng, and the rest of his followers and had them gather the bosses.

The moment Heifeng appeared, he flapped his wings as he licked on a chicken bone. He then gave Ling Feiyu a look before giving Jiang Feng a weird smile and said, "Hey, boss! Not bad! You don't even mind such an ugly gal?"

"What the hell? What sense of aesthetics is this?" Jiang Feng gave Heifeng a kick on his buttocks.

"My my... My sense of aesthetics? Let me tell you, any random one that I get from the mountain is prettier than she is!" Heifeng curled his lips.

"Fine, go and find one for me then!" Jiang Feng rolled his eyes.

"Alright, just you wait, boss! I'll bring one back! But don't you steal her from me, or I'm going to become desperate!" Heifeng said and flew right into the mountain peaks.

In a short while, Heifeng dragged Yanhu back. He was supposed to be looking for bosses. He pointed at Yanhu and said to Jiang Feng, "See, boss! This one is pretty! Yanhu and I are in love!"

Yanhu's lips twitched and he smacked Heifeng angrily, "So you dragged me back here so that you can show off? Heifeng, you weirdo, let me tell you something... If you dare to make a move on me... Also, stop brushing up against my butt, sparks are coming out, damn it!"

With that, Yanhu went back into the mountains. When he saw that, Heifeng quickly chased after him.

"Brother Yan, I was kidding! Wait for me..."

Jiang Feng was stunned as he stood his ground, with his lips twitching visibly. 'When I revived Heifeng last time, was the tiger I fused with him male or female?"

"What did they say?" Ling Feiyu saw Jiang Feng having a chat with Heifeng and Yanhu, but she did not understand a word of it.

"It's nothing."

Jiang Feng smiled bitterly as he shook his head, and headed to the top as he rode on the Monster Cloud.

Chapter 142: Refine

Ancient City, Shuiyun Waterfall, Wangyue Cliff.

A man and a woman sat on the crabapple tree.

The man had silver hair and red eyes, and was very handsome. The woman had black hair, and her beauty could make cities and countries collapse.

Jiang Feng looked at the moon and let out a long sigh as he sat on the crabapple tree, then said to Ling Feiyu next to him, "Thank you, without your help, I couldn't have recruited all of them!"

After one week, he had finally recruited all thirty level 50 bosses.

While he knew how to lure the bosses out, he still had to put in some effort to find all the bosses on the island. Some of them were found by Ling Feiyu's Unicorn.

According to Ling Feiyu, Unicorn had a Search skill. Once the skill was used, everyone, including monsters' levels would appear in front of him within a radius of 5km.

A very powerful skill.

Ling Feiyu then pointed at the Unicorn that was playing with Yanhu and the other monsters and said, "If you want to thank, thank the Unicorn."

"Isn't the Unicorn your pet? Of course, I have to thank you," Jiang Feng said.

"No need to thank me. Without you carrying me, my levels wouldn't increase that quickly," Ling Yufei said.

Jiang Feng's current level had reached level 48, the top of the Level Leaderboard. Ling Feiyu's level had broken through level 40 and had reached level 45, ranked 20 on the Level Leaderboard.

At this stage, most players had reached level 40. Qiu Si, Yao Qiong, Canaan, and the other elite players had reached the top twenty of the Level Leaderboard. None of them were fooling around.

Ling Feiyu suddenly thought of something, then looked at Jiang Feng who was sitting next to her and asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

Jiang Feng turned and looked at Ling Feiyu, and answered her solemnly, "Yes, I do!"

"Ha..." Ling Feiyu smiled slightly, "I did not think that the brutal Inheritor of the Shifters could joke around like that."

"I did not think that you could smile too. But once you smile, you're so beautiful," When he saw her smile, he was slightly stunned. Then, he grinned as he lay down on the tree branch with his hands behind his head.

"Alright, in all seriousness, what's your main quest?" Ling Feiyu stopped smiling and asked Jiang Feng.

"Main Quest? What Main Quest?"

Jiang Feng would not simply reveal his Main Quest, seeing that it was related to whether he was able to continue playing the game.

"You have your guard up against me," Ling Feiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Feng. "It's fine. I heard from a few friends that both the Divines' and Infernals' main quests are to win the Great Divine-Infernal War for their factions. If they lose, their power would be reduced by 50%."

'So every player has their own Main Quests, but they are related to the Great Divine-Infernal War. Maybe all the players that had joined a faction have their Main Quests?'

When he thought of that, he then said, "Alright, since you already know about it, then I'll tell you that my main quest is the same. Since you didn't join any factions, you shouldn't have any Main Quests, correct?"

"I do!"

"You do?"

Ling Feiyu's answer surprised him.

"My main quest was to help a faction achieve victory during the Divine-Infernal War. Then, I can change my class to a hidden class. If I fail, my stats would be reduced by 50%." Ling Feiyu said.

"Looks like all players have their own main quests regardless of whether they have joined a faction. The Great Divine-Infernal War should be even more interesting than the World War. I'm looking forward to it!"

Jiang Feng did not realize that players who did not join any faction would have main quests as well. It surprised him, but it also made him look forward to the Great Divine-Infernal War.

"Why don't you ask me if I would help the Shifters when the time comes?" Ling Feiyu asked him with interest.

"Let me tell you then, the Shifters will definitely win!" Jiang Feng said with conviction.

He had to win. Unlike the others, if he were to fail his Main Quest, the character that he had spent everything on would be deleted. He could never play this game ever again.

This game was extremely popular and it still had many systems that had not been unlocked yet. It would continue to be popular for the next twenty years or even longer.

He loved this game and he did not want to leave it. As this game was also the turning point in his life, he did not want to leave the game even more.

"There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance," Ling Yu said. "While your followers are powerful, they are not smart. Are you going to command and fight at the same time during the Great War? Alright, I am logging out now." Ling Feiyu slowly stood up as she was speaking.

After hearing Ling Feiyu's words, he had a sudden realization.

"I've had a great time, thank you."

With that, Ling Feiyu had logged out.

Looking at Ling Feiyu's disappearing figure, he let out a smile and mumbled to himself, "Thank you for reminding me. I've been recruiting followers, but I forgot the core of an army."

While he had recruited many followers, all they knew was how to fight. They did not know anything about strategizing.

What was the most important thing in a war? A strategist!

If the Shifters were to be able to show their true power, then he would need a Strategist to take command of them.

"Looks like I would need to find an intelligent follower that knows how to strategize." Jiang Feng looked at the moon as he stood up.

Ding. System Prompt: The Monster Transmutation System's upgrade is complete!

Just as he was about to leave the crabapple tree, he heard the system prompt. He instantly became excited and was filled with anticipation.

During the previous week, the Monster Transmutation System was being upgraded. He did not use Transmute Monster the whole time.

Now that the Monster Transmutation System had finally completed its upgrade, he was overjoyed and was anxious to see what had become of the Monster Transmutation System.

With that in mind, he quickly opened the Monster Transmutation System's panel and looked at it.

Monster Transmutation System's Host: Jiang Feng

Rank: Rank 6 Adult Dragon

Polymorph Duration: 200 Minutes

Lottery Remaining: 2

Monster Transmutation System Abilities: Transmute Monster, Polymorph, Refine, and Lottery

Polymorph: 200 Minutes. Every evolution increases the polymorph duration by 10 minutes. Evolving into more powerful bloodlines can increase the duration. The cooldown is 24 hours.

Transmute Monster, Transmute: It can transmute any monster into materials or items. 50% increased success rate if the monster transmuted does not resist. The chances of obtaining a bloodline are increased by 10%. 5% chance of transmuting an Evolution Pill. Fuse: Can fuse any monster (the more powerful the monster is, the greater the chance of failure.) It has a cooldown of 1 minute.

Refine: It can refine the purity of monster Bloodlines and materials. Cooldown of 1 minute.

Lottery: The system will award two lottery chances per evolution.

After the upgrade, the Monster Transmutation System had one new ability, increasing the rate of obtaining Bloodline and Evolution Pills, as well as increasing the number of lottery chances that he could obtain from each evolution from one to two.

'Refine? That means that with this new skill, I could increase the ranks of bloodline and materials that I can obtain from monsters?'

Looking at the Monster Transmutation System's new skill, his eye beamed as he quickly bit off his finger, letting it bleed, and then used Refine on it.

Ding. System Prompt: Refine failed. The host's blood cannot be refined.

"Um... Alright, I'll try it on a monster!"

With that, he summoned the Monster Cloud and flew to the mountains behind the Ancient City without caring too much about Yanhu, Heifeng, and his other followers.

Very quickly, he had reached the Lightning Tiger's territory.

Looking at the Lightning Tiger that had fallen before him, he used Transmute Monster on its corpse.

"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"

A blaze of fire enveloped the Lightning Tiger's corpse.

Ding. System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations, you have received one Lightning Tiger Pelt, one level 50 experience pill, and one drop of Bloodline.

"Hmm... While the monster rate of success for transmuting bloodline has increased, the success rate is still low. Only one drop of bloodline after ten transmutations."

Lightning Tiger Bloodline: Rank 4 Bloodline

Divine Beast Bloodline Purity 0.1%. Fed to pets to increase Bloodline and Bloodline Purity.

After the upgrade of the Monster Transmutation System, the bloodline he had transmuted had different descriptions now. Bloodline Rank and Purity had become visible.

Bloodline Rank was referring to the transmuted monster's rank. The Divine Beast Bloodline Purity was referring to the Bloodline's maximum purity value, which meant that it showed how much Divine Beast Bloodline Purity the Rank 4 Lightning Tiger monster possessed.

Once the Divine Beast's purity level was maxed, it meant that it would have the Divine Beast's Bloodline. Meaning that once a normal Lightning Tiger's Bloodline Purity had reached 100%, it would become a rank 18 Divine Beast.

For example, the Lightning Tiger Beast had 0.1% Divine Beast Bloodline. But because it was not maxed out, it could only remain as a normal monster.

Once the 0.1% Divine Beast Bloodline had reached 100%, it could then evolve into becoming a being similar to a Divine Beast.

Of course, increasing a normal monster bloodline from 0.1% to 100% would be very difficult.

"Refine!"

Ding. System Prompt: Refine successful. Congratulations, you have obtained one drop of Tiger Race Divine Beast with a Bloodline Purity of 0.2%.

Divine Beast Bloodline: Bloodline Purity 0.2%.

Looking at the Divine Beast Bloodline in his hand, he consumed it immediately.

Ding. System Prompt: Would you like to switch into the Lightning Tiger Bloodline, or fuse it into another race's Bloodline?

"Fuse it with the Dragon Race Bloodline."

Ding. System Prompt: Dragon Race's Bloodline and Purity had increased to 0.2%.

"Not bad. Consuming one drop of Divine Beast Bloodline had increased my Bloodline and Purity value by 0.2%. Using Refine, all I need is to refine successfully around five hundred times to have the same effects as three or four drops of Divine Dragon Bloodline. As I transmute higher rank monsters, the Divine Beast Bloodline's purity would be even higher. I could probably get to 100% in less than 500 times, and I could evolve then. If that is the case, I don't need to risk so much just to look for Divine Dragon Blood."

He smiled as he looked at the stats.

With that, it had solved the awkward situation where he could not evolve due to a lack of Divine Dragon Blood.

Of course, as he had obtained the Divine Beast Bloodline from other monsters, so he needed to consume them one by one. He could not directly become a Divine Beast when his Bloodline Purity had reached 100%. He still needed to evolve step by step.

Regardless, the speed of his evolution would increase greatly thanks to the improved abilities from the Monster Transmutation System and the Refine skill.

Chapter 143: Evolution Pill Furnace

"Refine!"

Ding. System Prompt: The item has reached its maximum refining limit, unable to be further refined.

"So the materials and bloodlines can only be refined once, and you can't keep on refining it," Jiang Feng mumbled to himself as he looked at the ore in his hand.

In order to understand his new Refine skill, he took out a low-level iron ore for it to be transmuted.

But what he did not expect was that it became Iron Essence after one refinement. He was originally thinking of using Refine on the Iron Essence, but it failed.

That meant that Refine could only be used on a drop of bloodline or material once, and it could not be refined again.

Regardless, he was still very happy with Refine.

That was because even the lowest level Iron Essence was worth 500gp and more. It was very valuable.

The reason being that Iron Essence could be used within the creation of Divine Artifacts.

Of course, the different types of ores could be used to refine and produce different levels and types of Iron Essence.

Iron Essence could be separated into Spiritual Level, Immortal Level, and Divine Level. It could be further separated into Low-Rank, Mid-Rank, and High-Rank.

Low-rank and Mid-rank Spiritual Level Iron Essence were used to forge Dark Gold equipment, while only High-rank Iron Essence was used to create Spiritual Artifacts. Immortal-Level Low-Rank and Mid-Rank were used to forge Spiritual Artifacts. Only Immortal-level High-Rank Iron Essence could be used to forge Immortal Artifacts. The same logic applied to the Divine Level Iron Essence.

However, to refine ores into Iron Essence, it was not an easy task. He had only managed to gain one steel essence after trying it on around fifty ores.

And he noticed that while the Bloodline would remain upon failure, materials would disappear.

"That's fine. Because regardless of what happens, the new skill from the Monster Transmutation System has helped me in the awkward situation I was in with my evolution," Jiang Feng said as he shrugged with a smile.

Seeing that his Polymorph duration still had an hour left, he called on the Monster Cloud and headed toward the Herbal Store.

As the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor had been fully repaired, all he needed to do was to recruit operators for all the shops, and he could open it to outsiders.

In order to open up the city, he first needed to have five different shops in operation. Otherwise, the option would not be available.

In truth, he could recruit some merchants to open the shops, but that meant that he would expose his identity and lose some profit. That was why he was going to ask Uncle Hua if he had any better ideas or solutions.

This was all because the cities by the other factions had already opened and they had very good business. He was very jealous of them and wanted to open up the city as well so he could earn some money.

At least, he wanted to earn back all the money he invested in repairing the city.

Uncle Hua could be considered as an NPC with an advanced AI, so he should have some information from the game. That was why he went to look for Uncle Hua.

At this point, Uncle Hua was sitting in the Herbal Store, placing herbs into a furnace that reached his waist in height. He was creating pills.

Perhaps because he was an NPC in the game, Hua Yan, Uncle Hua's grandson, had grown to the size of a baby around three months old despite the fact that only one week had passed. He was swaddling and drinking from a gourd.

Seeing that Uncle Hua was creating pills, Jiang Feng did not disturb him and waited next to him as he watched.

The herbal materials from the Herbal Shop came partly from him harvesting from the mountains behind the Ancient City, and the rest came from the efforts of Uncle Fu, purchasing them through the Imperial Dragon Auction House.

At this level, many of the Crafters' Craft-Profession skills were still in mid-level and they still could not use any high-level materials. So when some of the players received some high-level materials as their quest reward, they would often sell it, especially when they needed the money. These would be procured by the Imperial Dragon Auction house at a lower price.

After a while, Uncle Hua's pills had been completed. He took out around fifty pills from the furnace, then put all the pills into the medicinal drawers.

"Xiao Feng, you're here. Is the Ancient City going to open to the outsiders? My inventory is still lacking, so please put it on hold," Uncle Hua smiled kindly as he walked over after he had stored the pills.

Jiang Feng returned a smile and said, "The Ancient City isn't ready to be opened. I'm here to ask if you know anyone that has a secondary job?"

"People with secondary jobs?" Uncle Hua gave it a thought, then his eyes beamed. He then told Jiang Feng, "I do know a few, but why are you looking for them? Perhaps..."

"That's right, I want them to come to the Ancient City," Jiang Feng said.

"Impossible. It would be very difficult to ask them to join us." Uncle Hua shook his head.

"Uncle Hua, all you need to do is to tell me where they are, and I will recruit them. No matter how difficult it is, I want to give it a try," Jiang Feng said with confidence.

Seeing Jiang Feng's confidence, Uncle Hua agreed to it. Since there was no one else here other than the two gnomes, it was a bit dull without anyone to chat with.

If Jiang Feng could find and recruit his old friends, maybe they could drink tea and play chess together afterward.

"These old folks joined the Great Divine-Infernal War. I heard that a few have passed, but the rest are all living as hermits in the Hermit Village. The Hermit Village is located within the Kunlun Mountain Range. That is the location of the Hermit Village. They did ask me to join them as well, but I didn't join them because I had a family. I hope you can do your best in persuading them."

After obtaining the location of the Hermit Village, he then bought five more low-level Polymorph Pills from Uncle Hua.

According to Uncle Hua, since his Herbal Store was opened in the Ancient City, once the Ancient City was opened, a great number of highly-intelligent monsters would come. These Polymorph Pills were made for them.

However, the ones that were sold in large batches were only low-level Polymorph Pills. In contrast, the high-level Polymorph pill that he used last time was a Spiritual Level pill. Unfortunately, spiritual level herbs could not be found that easily, and he could not create any without the herbs.

Low-level Polymorph Pill: A monster can become anyone it wants to after consuming it. Duration of 2 hours. Cooldown of 5 hours. The selling price of 5,000gp.

He could use the Low-Level Polymorph Pill three times a day at most.

While these were only low-level, they could help him every once in a while.

After he left the Herbal Sore, he then looked for Yanhu, Heifeng, and the rest of his followers and brought them along. After putting on some disguise, he then teleported into Kunlun City.

When he reached Kunlun City, he then bought some good food and wine from the General Store. He needed to show some appreciation when trying to recruit them.

After buying the items, he then left Kunlun City and headed toward Mount Kunlun by riding on the Monster Cloud.

As it was getting a bit boring on his way there, he then opened up the lottery as he sat down on the cloud.

The lottery wheel was still the same as before and had no changes.

He gave it some thought, then pressed on the button in the middle of the wheel to make it double. He wanted to use both his lottery chances at one go.

The indicator then began to spin.

After a dozen seconds, the indicator slowly stopped at Special. Next, two treasure chests appeared in front of him.

One of them was a diamond treasure chest, while the other was a prismatic treasure chest.

"It's a prismatic chest!"

The only time that he had a prismatic chest was when he had just obtained the Monster Transmutation System. This was the second time, and it was right after the Monster Transmutation System was upgraded.

He looked at the prismatic chest and thought to himself, 'The prismatic chests come from lottery chances that were given to me as a bonus. Don't tell me that I can get a prismatic chest every time I use a lottery chance given by the system?'

"Whatever, let's see what's inside the chest!"

He became very excited and had high expectations with the appearance of the prismatic chest. He rubbed his palms together and opened the two treasure chests.

The first treasure chest contained a pill furnace the size of his palm while the second treasure chest contained a scroll.

Evolution Pill Furnace—Specialized equipment for the Inheritor of the Shifters. It will automatically produce 2 Evolution Pills.

"A pill furnace that could produce Evolution Pills automatically!"

Seeing its stats, Jiang Feng was overjoyed.

Although there were only two of them, he was more than satisfied with it.

After the upgrade to the Monster Transmutation System, the chances of him transmuting an Evolution Pill had been increased to five percent. While he could transmute several pills within a week, he would never say that he had too many evolution pills.

"No wonder Qiu Si would have the Divine Speech Pill and Yao Qiong would have the Beast Speech Pills. They must have a similar pill furnace like this on them." After seeing the Evolution Pill Furnace, he finally understood where Qiu Si and Yao Qiong got the pills from.

After taking out the Evolution Pill Furnace, he noticed that there were already two Evolution Pills inside. After taking out the two pills, the Pill Furnace automatically closed up and a timer appeared on top of it, entering a period of creation.

Happily, he put both the Evolution Pills and the Furnace into the Spatial Bracelet, then looked at the scroll from the Prismatic Chest.

Chapter 144: Disturbance Caused by the Secret Class

The Prismatic Chest would always have great treasures.

Looking at the scroll inside the Prismatic Chest, he then took it out.

Secret Class Class Change Scroll: Shifter Hierophant

Can be used to immediately change class into the Shifter Hierophant class.

"What's this? There's only one Secret Class Class Change Scroll? Is it a trap?"

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Jiang Feng frowned.

He did not expect the System to consider hidden classes as something so highly looked upon. So much so that it was considered to be equivalent to something of Divine Level.

If that were true, then the abilities of the Secret Classes would be much higher than normal classes.

If that were the case, he experienced a great loss when he sold the Secret Class Class Change Letter to Mu Xi for so little money.

"Looks like I shouldn't have sold things when I just entered the game and before knowing the market price."

While he did make a loss, he sold it when he did not know much about anything and when he had just entered the game.

Also, he would definitely sell something that he could not use. Without much introduction from the official website, him making a loss was almost certain.

'I guess all I can do now is to treat it as a lesson.'

Ding. World Announcement: Congratulations to the player from Japanese Server Kawaguchi Shinki, class-changed into the secret class "Taigou Katana." As he is the world's first player to class-change into a secret class, he gained 1,000 points of World Renown, 100,000gp, and one special item.

Ding. System Prompt: The World Level Leaderboard is now available. The World Secret Class Leaderboard is now available. The World Popularity Leaderboard is now available.

"Damn, looks like the secret classes really are important. There's even a world announcement for a class change!"

At this moment, he heard a World Announcement which shocked him slightly as he frowned.

He quickly opened and looked at the three new leaderboards.

He saw that the player called "Kawaguchi Shinki" had dominated two leaderboards. He was the number one in the World Secret Class Leaderboard and World Popularity Leaderboard.

He was in the World Level Leaderboard, however, he was only ranked eight.

"Wait, that's not right. I sold the Secret Class Class Change Letter to Mu Xi about two months ago. Why didn't she change her class?" Jiang Feng closed the leaderboards when he remembered something and opened Mu Xi's Friend Panel. He then sent her a text message asking her about it.

Mu Xi: "The quest for the secret class was too difficult. I've spent two months and I'm on the final quest. But I'm going to be stuck for a very long while."

Jiang Feng frowned. "Is it that difficult?"

Mu Xi: "Very difficult. My final quest is to find the Shifter Spirit Stones, join the Shifters faction, and transform into a Beastman. Only then could I accept the quest. The Shifter Spirit Stone can be found on a level 60 boss. Because I have never changed class, defeating a level 60 boss is going to be exceedingly challenging for me!"

What? Joining the Shifters? Transform into a Beastman?

'Haha! So much for getting frustrated about it. She is going to be my follower anyways! That meant that selling that class change letter to her wasn't a loss at all!'

After hearing from Mu Xi, Jiang Feng was overjoyed.

He did not expect that the Secret Class Class Change Letter could only be obtained once she had become a Beastman.

When he thought of that, he was in a better mood.

As for Kawaguchi Shinki obtaining the first in class-changing into a secret class, he did not pay too much attention to him.

That was because the value of a secret class was lower than that of an inheritor. In the end, those with secret classes still had to work for the inheritors.

As for why there were not any announcements, he guessed that their identities had to be protected to prevent them from being ganked.

What he did not know was that the reason that Mu Xi did not join the Siege of the Ancient City and even hoped for its success was not only because of the secret class but also because she was going to be a member of the Ancient City.

"Can anyone help you with the Secret Class quest?" Jiang Feng thought of something and quickly sent her a message.

Since she was going to become his follower eventually, he would give her help if she needed it. They at least had to take the number 2 in the leaderboard.

"No!" Mu Xi answered.

'Can't get anyone to help her? That's going to be problematic.' Jiang Feng slightly frowned and thought to himself. 'I need to find a way to help her succeed. I can't lose a follower before she has even appeared.'

"Help me buy some materials and I'll forge a set of equipment for you. Our server can't get surpassed for too long," Jiang Feng replied and then sent her a list.

"Alright, thank you. I will pay you for it!" Mu Xi replied.

Jiang Feng shrugged and closed the chatbox.

He could only help Mu Xi that much. As for whether she could succeed in changing her class within a short period of time, that would be up to her.

"Huff... Looks like not all Shifters are monsters. Shifter Spirit Stone? It sounds like it's very useful. I should find a way to get some more of those so that when the third batch of players joins, I can use them to recruit a batch of Shifter players," Jiang Feng said. "When they become part of the Shifters, I don't need to manage them. Their main quests will naturally have them help the Ancient City!"

Beiyu City, Mount Tianxue.

Mu Xi, who was wearing a blue dress, stood at the edge of the cliff as she closed the friend panel.

She raised her head and looked at the falling snow. She said to herself, "Why is this quest so difficult? Why can't I clear it after so many times? All this because I'm too weak."

In truth, her power was not weak at all. She had already reached level 45. Without changing class, her stats were similar to normal players.

Remember, normal players had a thirty percent boost to their stats after their class change. She was quite good seeing that she was not buffed by the class change and skills at all.

Just as she was moaning about it, a bloodied figure appeared in her mind. She said as her sight went out of focus, "If the Shifters' Inheritor was the one that had to do this quest, what would he do?"

After the first World Announcement appeared in the game, it caused the players from the entire world to discuss it passionately.

In order to help the players from all over the world to discuss it, the official website even created a new message board where players could communicate with each other thanks to an A.I. translator.

But no one thought that the moment that the message board was created, it would become a place where players from all the countries fought and become aggressive toward each other.

These countries were Huaxia Server, American Server, Japanese Server, Korean Server, European Server, African Server...

Some of the countries had been encompassed into one server because of their population. Some of the servers allied with each other. For example, the Japanese Server had allied with the American Server. Since the Japanese Server had only around 100 million players, they did not complain about it much.

Japanese Server: "Alright, alright! As expected of being the number one in the Japanese Server! Other than those from the American servers, none of them could compare to Kawaguchi Shinki!"

Huaxia Server: "Go on, keep praising them! Let's see if they'll give you something good."

African Server: "Agree with the above poster."

Japanese Server: "What did you say? You lost to us previously during the wars, we will beat you again."

Chinese Server: "My my, who was the one that ran in the end? We're going to sink your island if every Chinese person were to spit on it."

While the players in the Chinese server all took a united front when they were on the international message board, some of them were not happy in their country's own message board.

"Where are the top players from our country? Didn't Mu Xi get the quest for the secret class? It has already been three months, why hasn't she completed it yet? What is she doing, if she passed it to me I would have completed it earlier!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Although the secret classes are strong, they aren't as strong as the inheritors. The moment our server's Shifters' Inheritor strikes out, the entire Japanese Server is going to sink! Don't downvote me, I'm just a fan of the Shifters' Inheritor."

"Don't worry, I won't downvote you. While I'm an Infernal, I'm also a fan of the Shifters' Inheritor. Since the World War comes first, and the Great Divine-Infernal War comes second, let's clear the World War first before talking about the factions."

"Alright, alright. It's just a secret class. There's still a long way until we reach the World War and Great Divine-Infernal War. Just go and do what you need to do."

The two Official Message Boards became very lively but Jiang Feng did not pay much attention to them. That was because he had already found the Hermit Village's location as per Uncle Hua's instruction.

Chapter 145: The Five Elders from the Hermit Village

Mount Kunlun, halfway up the mountain.

The Hermit Village was indeed located halfway up the mountain.

There was still Infernal Miasma in this place, and many of the monsters there had been infernalized.

He hid his figure and circled around the Infernalized monsters, then headed toward where the location of the village might be.

When his Hide skill had expired, he entered a valley in the mountain.

The valley was huge, with rolling hills and flowing rivers. In the middle of the valley was a gigantic tree that required around ten men to embrace it. Its height was around one hundred meters tall, and its branches and leaves covered half the valley.

He took out the map that Uncle Hua gave him and the instructions on finding the Hermit Village. He chose to hide for the moment, waiting patiently for his Hide skill's cooldown to pass.

Within the valley was a group of level 50 Infernalized Monsters, and they were all roaming in groups. He could handle them, but he would not be able to enter the Hermit Village afterward.

There was one more thing he needed to do before he could enter the village.

That was to step on pressure plates. The entrance of the Hermit Village could only be found after finding and triggering the pressure plates.

Very quickly, the cooldown for his Hide skill had passed. He hid himself and headed deeper into the valley.

Once he was in front of the giant tree, he looked at the instructions that Uncle Hua gave him. He followed the instructions to trigger the pressure plates and pressed at a few positions on the giant tree. Those places that he pressed would sink.

Next, he ran around the giant tree. As he ran, steps began to appear under his feet. Like the keys on the piano, they would sink as he stepped on them, but they would disappear as soon as he lifted his feet.

"Three times to the left, three times to the right, and then... ram into the tree!"

After running around the tree to the left three times and to the right three times, he then closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he rammed into the tree.

Whoosh!

The moment he crashed into the tree, a ripple appeared around the tree. The place where he crashed into swirled him into it like surging water.

Once his feet were once again on solid ground, he opened his eyes and started to look around.

He was still within a valley, and it was filled with chirping birds and blooming flowers. There was a small village in front of him. In the farmland next to the village, an old man was wiping his sweat off as he hoed the earth and two old-timers were playing chess under the tree at its entrance.

And he himself was standing under a giant tree that looked exactly the same as the one before he entered.

"Is this the Hermit Village?" He mumbled as he walked toward the village.

"Hoeing the earth in the middle of the day, so the sweat soaks the ground. Hoeing the earth every day, so that there's sweet potato next year!"

As he came close, he heard the old man mumbling the poems that he made himself.

Yuan Ping: Divine-Level Horticulturist

...

"Hm? An outsider?"

When Yuan Ping saw Jiang Feng, he frowned. He then carried his hoe on his shoulder and headed toward the village.

Jiang Feng then quickly followed him.

Du Kang: Divine-Level Brewer

Xia Zi: Divine-Level Appraiser

'Holy... All of them are NPCs with Divine-Level Secondary Jobs. If I can bring them all to the Ancient City, it would cause an uproar!'

He gulped as he looked at the three old men in front of him.

He quickly came before them and bowed politely, and said, "Greetings, Elders. My name is Jiang Feng."

The blind old man that was holding a black piece said, "What thick Shifter Miasma! I wonder what the Inheritor of the Shifters wants by coming to the Hermit Village."

Jiang Feng then cupped his fist and said, "I am hoping to have you all join me!"

The old man with black hair sitting opposite Xia Zi, Du Kiang, then took a jar of wine and had a drink. After giving a burp, he then said, "Such arrogance!"

Yuan Ping wiped the sweat off his brow and said with a smile, "Boy, it is not easy to ask these ancient bones to join you. You should return."

When they were talking, two more people came from inside the village. One of them was an old man with messy hair and had some metallic objects all over him. The other one was an old woman with some sewing work still in her hand.

Dr. Feng: Divine-Level Machinist

Grandma Sang: Divine-Level Tailor.

"What are you all rambling on about, you old things! All you do all day is ramble on! One of these days, I'll blast you all into the sky!" Dr. Feng roared out angrily. Next, a white light shone on his shoulder and a rocket launcher appeared, aiming at Jiang Feng and the three other old men. Light was glowing from inside the rocket launcher and a rocket was ready to be launched.

"Oh my God..." Xia Zi was the first one to run.

"My wine..." Du Kang ran in a crooked line as he held his jar of wine.

"I'm not finished with my work..." Yuan Ping disappeared in the blink of an eye with his hoe.

Er...

In less than a second, Jiang Feng was the only one left at the village entrance.

When he saw that the rocket was going to be launched, he used Blink and blinked away,

Boom!

Next, a beam of light went through the location of where they were standing just now and crashed on the ground far away. There was a loud explosion, and the blast formed a large hole on the ground.

"That Dr. Feng is indeed crazy, shooting someone like that without warning..."

Jiang Feng was sweating profusely as he looked at the hole on the ground far away. If he did not dodge it, he would have died from the explosion.

"You damn old man! Told you not to play with your cannons! See, you are making a mess again! Go and fill that hole!" Grandma Sang told Dr. Feng angrily.

Once Dr. Feng heard Grandma Sang's complaint, the madness on his face disappeared completely and was replaced with tenderness and kindness. He then gave her a smile and waved his hand, summoning many small robots. The hundreds of robots then carried their little hoes and ran toward the hole, filling it.

"Drunkard, let us continue with the game."

Seeing that Dr. Feng was back under Grandma Sang's control again, Xia Zi waved his hand in the air then ran back. He then sat on the stone stool, calling out to Du Kang.

Du Kang had already fallen asleep under the great tree.

Yuan Ping ran back again with his hoe on his shoulder.

Grandma Sang rolled her eyes at the old men, then walked toward Jiang Feng. "The Shifter Miasma on you is quite thick. You must be the Inheritor of the Shifters, correct?"

"Yes, I am," Jiang Feng said politely. Since he was here to recruit them, he must show them some sincerity and politeness.

"You should leave. Oh, and do send our regards to Uncle Hua," Grandma Sang said.

"I won't leave. I beg you all to join me!" Jiang Feng cupped his fists and said.

"You're so damn noisy, I'm going to kill you now..." Hearing Jiang Feng's loud voice, Dr. Feng took out a gun and was ready to shoot at Jiang Feng.

Grandma Sang slapped the gun away with her palm, and Dr. Feng ran to pick it up.

"If you want us to join you, all you need to do is to help us do one thing," Grandma Sang said to Jiang Feng without paying much attention to Dr. Feng.

"No matter what it is, as long as you promise to join me, I will do it."

'Here it comes! The quest that I have to do so that they will join me!'

"Do not be so boastful. Give me a Divine-Level Pelt that will satisfy me, and I shall join you!" Grandma Sang said.

"Give me a bottle of wine that I have never tasted before." Du Kang said.

"Give me a Divine-Level Seed that will satisfy me!" Yuan Ping said.

"Heal my eyes!" Xia Zi said.

"I want the Plan to a Divine-Level Mech!" Dr. Feng said.

Ding. System Prompt: Will you accept the quest from the Five Elders from the Hermit Village?

"I... I accept!"

Jiang Feng was getting worried when he heard of their difficult requests.

A Divine-Level Pelt, a bottle of wine that he had never tasted, heal the eyes of the blind, a Divine-Level Seed, and a Divine-Level Mech Plan.

None of those five could be completed easily.

However, he was willing to try so that the five elders would join him.

Chapter 146: Opening the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor

He was not able to recruit the Five Elders from Hermit Village so he returned to the Ancient City using the Town Portal scroll.

Once he was back, he immediately ran toward the Herbal Store.

These items were very difficult to find so he had to get Uncle Hua's help. Hopefully, he could get some information from Uncle Hua.

Once he was there, he told him everything that Grandma Sang and the others had said.

"Uncle Hua, do you know how I can complete these five quests within a short amount time?" Jiang Feng asked Uncle Hua, who was standing in front of him.

"Haha! Those old geezers still like to make a fool of others," Uncle Hua smiled after he finished listening to Jiang Feng. "These five quests are all very easy to complete. Let me explain."

Next, uncle Hua told Jiang Feng what was special about the five quests.

The Divine-Level pelt was not really the pelt of a divine beast. Grandma Sang also was not referring to "Divine-Level," but to "Divine Intellect."

There is a level 60 monster in the game that was called Divine-Intellect beast. All he needed to do was to kill the Divine Intellect Beast and obtain its pelt.

As for a wine that had never been drunk before? There were plenty of wines in this world. Poison wines were wine too, so Du Kang had never tasted it.

To heal the eyes and cure his blindness? Xia Zi was a Divine-Level Appraiser, the eyes of his heart could see clearer than a pair of physical eyes. If the eyes of his heart were never blind in the first place, how could he heal them?

"As for the Divine-Level seed, it seems that Yuan Ping is still thinking of that herbal seed that I have on me. Fine, it is your now," Uncle Hua took out a red seed and gave it to Jiang Feng.

Red Fruit Seed: Divine-Level Seed

Can be used to grow the Red Fruit Tree. Red Fruits can be used to make wine, medicine, cooking, and others.

"Thank you, Uncle Hua!" Jiang Feng put away the Red Fruit Seed and said to him gratefully.

"The only thing that would be difficult is the plan for the Divine-Level Mech. You have to do it yourself, I cannot help you with that," Uncle Hua said.

Jiang Feng gave it a thought, then said to Uncle Hua, "Don't worry. I know where I can find the plans for Dr. Feng's Divine Level Mech."

With that, he left the Ancient City and headed toward the Divine Intellect Beast's territory.

The Divine Intellect Beast looked like a rat, with a pair of slim and dexterous hands. They were adept at setting and removing traps. After some effort, he finally managed to get a Divine-Intellect Beast Pelt.

After getting the Divine-Intellect Beast Pelt, he once again used the Low-Level Polymorph Pill and transformed into a human. After disguising himself, he teleported into Kunlun City, then headed towards the Hermit Village.

Hermit Village, a group of old people were tasting Du Kang's new wine.

"Do you think that the Shifter boy can complete our quests?" Yuan Ping said as he drank a cup of wine.

"That would depend on whether he is smart or not," Xia Zi said.

"If he is indeed smart enough to complete our quests, are we really leaving this place?" Du Kang asked.

"Worry not. He wouldn't be able to complete all our tasks within a short amount of time. Even if he did complete it, what is wrong with going outside? Are we going to stay here in this place forever?" Grandma Sang said.

"Here I am again!"

As soon as Grandma Sang finished her sentence, a voice came from afar.

"You're so noisy! I'm going to blast you away!" When Dr. Feng heard the noise, he became angry and immediately shot his cannon at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng was well-prepared. He blinked and dodged the attack, then reached the Five Elders soon enough.

"You came back so soon? Are you giving up?" Du Kang asked.

"No, but I've finished the quests that you five have given me," Jiang Feng gave a confident smile.

"Impossible!" Xia Zi said.

The others also looked at Jiang Feng in disbelief.

Jiang Feng smiled and took out a jar of wine to Du Kang that he had prepared. "This is the wine that you wanted."

Then, he gave the Divine-Intellect Beast Pelt to Grandma Sang and the Divine-Level Seed to Yuan Ping. Finally, he handed a mech plan from the movie Pacific Rim that he found on the internet to Dr. Feng.

Du Kang drank the wine that he obtained from Jiang Feng, and he instantly became a zombie as his HPs continuously dropped. Du Kang, who had become a zombie, asked in surprise, "What wine is this?"

"Zombify Poison Wine!" When he came over, he added a Corpse Pill and a bag of Virus into the wine.

"What pelt is this?" Grandma Sang asked.

"The pelt from a Divine-Intellect Beast!" Jiang Feng replied.

"What kind of a mech is this?" Dr. Feng asked.

"A Divine-Level mech that you can never recreate, I call it the Crimson Typhoon!" Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Hehe, Uncle Hua is treating you well. He even gave you the seed of the Red Fruit," Yuan Ping did not ask any questions as he excitedly looked at the seed in his hand.

"What about my eyes?" Xia Zi asked.

As soon as he finished his sentence, Jiang Feng took out his Jingu Staff and strike at Xia Zi.

Xia Zi dodged it with extreme speed and said, "What are you doing?!"

"You can 'see' my attack, your eyes are already healed!" Jiang Feng gave him a confident smile.

Du Kang was still a zombie. Grandma Sang stood there speechless looking at the Divine-Intellect Beast pelt in her hands. Dr. Feng stared at the plan obsessively. Yuan Ping was overjoyed as he held the Red Fruit Seed in his hand. Xia Zi was sitting by the side angrily.

After a while, Grandma Sang put away the Divine-Intellect Beast Pelt and said with a smile as she scanned the other four old men, "Haha! Little Shifter, you've won!"

"Then, you are willing to leave?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Yes," Grandma Sang nodded.

Jiang Feng was overjoyed and he quickly took out the Qiankun Gourd and said to them, "Don't resist, I will bring you all to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor!"

"One of the split forms of the Lianyao Flask, the Qiankun Gourd!"

Grandma Sang was slightly stunned when she saw the Qiankun Gourd, and so were the other four. They obviously were not expecting Jiang Feng to have such treasures with him.

Jiang Feng gave them a smile without saying anything, then using the Qiankun Gourd's Absorb skill, he sucked them all inside.

"It's finally done, and I can open the Ancient City to outsiders too!"

He said with relief once he had recruited all five Elders. He then used his Town Portal skill to return to the Ancient City.

He then brought the Five Elders to see Uncle Hua and asked them to choose their own shops.

After giving them the instructions, he did not disturb the six old people's gathering and returned to the Shifter Emperor's Palace. He spent some gold and built a Teleportation Circle and Return Point.

The Teleportation Circle and Return Point had been set so that only the six elders, Robert and Rocket could use them and no one else.

Next, he took out 2,000,000 from the Imperial Dragon Auction House and rented a Land Surveyor with Super A.I., ten level 100 NPC guards, one Mercenary Hall Manager, and one six-base-class class changer.

After improving the Ancient City a bit more, he had finally reached the minimum prerequisite to open up the Ancient City. He did not hesitate and opened up the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor to the masses.

Ding. System prompt: Announcement. The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor is now open to the public. Its Teleportation Circle has been linked with the Teleportation Circle of all the main cities. All players and monsters can now head over. Merchants that wish to do business in the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor may look for the Land Surveyor at the Land Management Hall to either rent or purchase shops. The common residences in the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor are also for sale. All players please take this good opportunity.

When the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor was opened up, it once again became a hot topic among players. The players that became fans during the siege became excited and all went over to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor through the teleportation circle.

Some of those who were quite interested in a floating city also went over to visit the Ancient City.

The opening of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor was big news indeed. Within an hour, hundreds and thousands of visitors went over and started the Ancient's City's economic development!

T/L Note: About the Divine-Level and Divine-Intellect, they both sound the same in Chinese.

Chapter 147: Prosperity

After the Ancient City had been opened to public, he asked Uncle Fu to open a branch in the Ancient City.

He had even reserved a shop lot for this. Of course, to stop being too suspicious, he put down a fake order at the Land Surveyor.

He left information like "Jiang Feng bought a shop lot at a location after spending a certain amount of gold."

No one would suspect that Jiang Feng and the Shifter Emperor would be the same person.

As he stood in the Shifter Emperor's Palace and saw the influx of players, he smiled.

Where there were people, there would be economic activities.

As long as he could improve the Ancient City, the economic activities would not stop. Then, he need not worry about money.

"Neigh!"

At this time, a pure white horse flapped its wings and approached him. On it was a beautiful woman. It was indeed Ling Feiyu.

He had placed the Shifter Emperor's Palace on the clouds, above the city. Normal people would not know that there was a palace there. Even if they did, they would not be able to enter due to a barrier.

Just like how the players knew about the Imperial Palace in the Imperial Dragon City but they could not enter unless given the right to.

He had brought Ling Feiyu to the Shifter Emperor's Palace once. As such, she had been given the right to enter.

"Not bad."

Ling Feiyu was a very cold woman. She would not speak much and went straight to the main point. Jiang Feng was also not someone that spoke much.

As such, while he knew that she had come to congratulate him, both did not say anything as they looked at the prosperity within the city in silence.

Uncle Hua operated the Herbal Store, and he currently had various pills in stock amounting to a total of three thousand five hundred pills. He could produce around fifty pills in a single batch each time. If he were making low-level pills, he could easily make one hundred in a batch. A testament to his speed in making medicine.

All the players that entered the Herbal Shop let out yelps of surprise.

"Damn! The Shifters' Inheritor is awesome! He could even find a Divine-Level Pharmacist!"

"Pills created by a Divine-Level Pharmacist are inherently different from pills sold in other cities. Even his small recovery pills restore 200 HPs more than those sold at other cities. Damn it, I better buy a batch of Large Recovery Pills before they run out!"

"My God! Stat Pills! Taking one pill gives you five bonus free attribute points! Even if I take only one pill, it still equals to leveling up once. Buy, buy, buy!"

Grandma Sang operated the Tailor Shop. Grandma Sang was not simply being idle when she was at the Hermit Village and had created a lot of clothing such as jackets, pants, leather armor, and other equipment. However, all of them were around level 40 to 60. But her existence still brought about a commotion among the players.

"Are my eyes deceiving me? Divine-Level Tailor! Damn it, I'm not convinced by any of the other inheritors other than the Shifters' Inheritor!"

"Tsk tsk, all the equipment sold here has great stats! The price is a bit more expensive, but it's worth it!"

"Honey, I like that dress made of fox pelt! I can wear it at level 40! Can you buy it for me? Muacks."

Du Kang operated the restaurant. Not only was he a Divine-Level Brewer, but he was also a Spiritual-Level Cook. Not only was he brewing wine for everyone, but he was also the one handling everyone's food. He had enough resources on him.

After he became the restaurant's boss, the restaurant was packed with people. Sounds of people being surprised could be heard everywhere.

"The Divine-Level Brewer is indeed powerful. Even cheap wine like Du Kang Wine increases movement speed by 10%!"

"The food's not bad too. My hunger is filling up faster, and they all have status buffs."

"Waiter, give me ten jars of wine! Takeaway!"

The Smithy was the shop with the most in stock. Robert and Rocket had already forged a lot of equipment.

"Oh my God! The Inheritor of the Gnomes is the boss of this smithy? My eyes must be deceiving me!"

"Boss, here's two high-level ore, can you help me forge a level 40 armor?"

"Boss, that Dragonball looks nice. Can I take a look?"

Compared to Uncle Hua, Grandma Sang, Du Kang, and Robert, the other shops did not have much business.

Dr. Feng was very focused on researching the plan that Jiang Feng had given to him in his Machine Shop. So much so that he blasted away all the players that visited him to learn some Machine Crafting skills as soon as they opened their mouths.

If it were not because Jiang Feng had set that the attacks from NPCs and Players would not reduce HPs, a bunch of players would have ended up dead.

That being said, it was still painful to be blasted by the explosives. In the end, no one dared to approach the machine shop anymore.

Yuan Ping even closed his shop directly and started planting the Red Fruit Seed in his backyard and smiled like an idiot.

Xia Zi, the Divine-Level appraiser was not as useful just yet. Only when they have reached the planet Silvermoon would they need the Appraisal skill so he did not open up his shop. Instead, Du Kang pulled him over to his restaurant to be a waiter.

"Xia Zi, are you blind? That table ordered Wild Dog Meat! Why the hell are you preparing Dragon Meat?" Du Kang roared at Xia Zi.

"You drunkard! I AM blind! If you keep on complaining I'm going to quit!" Xia Zi boomed back.

Other than these shops, another shop was also having great business. And that was the Land Management Hall.

Before the Ancient City was opened, many merchants wanted to open shops in the Ancient City but could not. Now that it was opened, all the merchants came over.

They all came over to snatch good shop-lots from each other. Some of the players were buying homes so that when the Marriage System was introduced, they could have their wedding in the Ancient City.

Looking at the prospering Ancient City, Jiang Feng was ecstatic.

He opened the Ancient City's management panel, and he saw that his city's population had reached 300,000. His capital was also increasing and had already surpassed 10,000,000.

"With this money, I can build more homes and improve some of the shops!"

He muttered excitedly as he looked at the city's money.

At this time, three high-level monsters had appeared before the Ancient City's gate. The monsters roared at the two level 100 guards.

"Roar! ...Open the gate!"

As the Ancient City was opened to both players and monsters, the two level 100 guards did not stop them. Instead, they directly opened the gate and let them in.

The three monsters were the Arcane Amulet Dragon of the Dragon Tribe, the Horned Lightning Hawk of the Hawk Tribe, the Two-headed Gryphon of the Gryphon Tribe. They had all reached rank 10 and were at level 60. All of them were also bosses.

That roar just now came from the Two-headed Gryphon.

As their huge bodies entered the city, they automatically shrunk their size and walked on the wide city street due to the city's limitations.

When many players saw this, they all moved aside as they watched curiously.

"Haha! It's great to be able to walk openly in a city like this!" The Horned Lightning Eagle walked on the street proudly, lightning shooting out from his horn every once in a while.

"This is all thanks to Guapi. If it weren't because of her bringing us here, we wouldn't have reached the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor!" The Two-headed Gryphon said excitedly.

"Tee hee! You both promised me that once I've brought you to the Ancient City, you two will have to listen to me from now on. If not... If not... If not, I'll get angry!"

The Arcane Amulet Dragon was a female dragon. It had eyes with long eyelashes, and her scales were all pale green. The dragon horns on her forehead were quite short, but runes kept on swirling within them, making them look incredibly special.

"Worry not. I, Leiying, keep my promises," Said the Horned Lightning Eagle.

"Me too," The Two-headed Gryphon said in agreement.

"Um, then let's go. We should go find the steward of the city so that he can arrange our accommodation."

With that, the Arcane Amulet Dragon flew into the sky. As if she had sensed something, she headed straight toward the Shifter Emperor's Palace. The Horned Lightning Hawk and the Two-headed Gryphon followed behind.

In less than two hours, both players and monsters had begun to enter the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, making it prosper.

Seeing the three boss monsters fly away, the players below all began to discuss among themselves in astonishment.

Chapter 148: The Japanese Server Invades

The Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor, Shifter Emperor's Palace.

Jiang Feng, who was standing on the plaza in front of the Shifter Emperor Palace saw the arrival of the three level 60 bosses. His lips curled and he lifted the ban, allowing the three bosses to approach him by flight.

Ling Feiyu, who was originally with him, had already left and returned to her home.

The Arcane Amulet Dragon was the first one to reach the Shifter Emperor's Palace. She came before Jiang Feng and asked, "Roar! You're the steward? The Inheritor of the Shifters?"

"And? Do I not look like one?" Jiang Feng answered with a smile.

Jiang Feng was actually quite surprised when he saw that the Arcane Amulet Dragon had come to the Ancient City.

That was because the Dragon tribe only had a few members left. He never expected that the moment he had the Ancient City open, a dragon would come for him.

"Nope!" The Arcane Amulet Dragon said.

Jiang Feng then dispelled the effects of the Polymorph pill and became a gigantic dragon. He coiled in front of the Arcane Amulet Dragon and said, "And now?"

"Tee hee, much better." The Arcane Amulet Dragon blinked as she said.

"Sis Guapi, main point." The Two-headed Gryphon said.

"I know, you didn't have to interrupt me like that." the Arcane Amulet Dragon rolled his eyes at the Two-Headed Gryphon. She then turned to Jiang Feng and said, "Steward, can you arrange lodging for us?"

"Of course. Feel free to choose any location at the mountains behind the Ancient City where no monsters reside," Jiang Feng said. He then took out the Qiankun Gourd and released Heifeng, Yanhu, and Xiaotian. "You three, bring them around so that they can find a place to stay."

"Yo, dragon girl. I'm Heifeng, what's your name?" When Heifeng came out and saw the Arcane Amulet Dragon, he smiled and approached her.

"I'm called Guapi," The Arcane Amulet Dragon replied.

Heifeng then asked, "Do you like to eat watermelons?"

The Arcane Amulet Dragon was disgusted. "Nope."

Then Heifeng took out a chicken drumstick that was laced with saliva. "Since you're not a vegetarian, then that means you're a carnivore! I'm quite the generous fellow, so why don't you come and have a lick?!"

"Ugh..." Xiaotian retched.

"No, I won't. Quickly, bring us to where we can stay," the Arcane Amulet Dragon said as she became slightly irritated.

"Alright, follow me." Heifeng smiled as he put away the chicken drumstick and led the Arcane Amulet Dragon to the mountains.

Xiaotian and Yanhu led both the Horned Lightning Hawk and Two-headed Gryphon to the mountains by flight.

Just as Jiang Feng was ready to leave the Shifter Emperor's Palace, he tripped and almost fell to the ground head first when he heard Heifeng's voice drifting from afar.

"Guapi, I'm so curious where a dragon's buttocks are. I've been wanting to look at the boss's buttocks but he wouldn't let me. Would you be so kind as to let me see it?!"

"Roar!"

Guapi started to fight with Heifeng in embarrassment.

Seeing Guapi and Heifeng fighting, he was speechless and thought to himself, 'Heifeng is such an arsehole. I can't let him evolve that quickly, otherwise, so many other monsters are going to get harassed.'

Luckily, Heifeng did not know what Jiang Feng was thinking. Otherwise, he would cry, beg, and threaten him to reverse his decision.

Ding. World Announcement: Warning! Warning! Kawaguchi Shinki is leading a large number of players from the Japanese Server and is invading the Huaxia Server. Players that have crossed over between servers can only stay for one week. Players who died within this week can choose to revive on a set waypoint or in their own server. Non-local players can ignore the limits and bans and they are allowed to kill players in cities. They can gain a large number of honor points in this way. In order to reduce this server's loss, drive them back as soon as possible!

As soon as he was about to leave the Ancient City and to kill monsters and refine his bloodline, a system announcement rang in his ear. He was instantly enraged.

"Damn it, these people are so audacious! They crossed over into the Huaxia server to look for a fight?!"

Jiang Feng was angry but there was nothing that he could do since he did not know where the players from the Japanese Servers were. The Huaxia server was so huge, finding them would be difficult.

Currently, all the players from the Ancient City were shocked.

"Damn it, the Japanese players are crossing the line! They are even coming over to our server? Do they think that we don't have any elite players around?"

"Anyone that still has some pride in them, let's go! We'll go look at the cities near the border. Find them and destroy them!"

"Let's go post in the message board, and ask the inheritors from Huaxia Server to destroy them."

All the players became infuriated and all teleported through the Ancient City's Teleportation Circle and headed toward the cities that were close to the borders to find signs of the Japanese players.

Jiang Feng quickly opened the Official Website's World Message Board when he saw what happened.

Only to see that in the World's Message Board, there was one post that had a lot of replies. That was a post that was posted by Kawaguchi Shinki before he crossed the border.

Topic: Since the Chinese are yapping so loudly, then allow me to meet you in the Chinese Server!

The moment the post appeared, players from the Japanese Server came over to support him.

Ueda Akikusa: "Kawaguchi Shinki you're so hot! Destroy them! Best destroy that Imperial Dragon City and Ancient City of something! It's best if you can get the ten primordial artifacts from the Huaxia Server!"

Koinu Ichirou: "All hail the Guild Leader! Where's the Chinese? Didn't you say that your server's Shifters' Inheritor is very powerful? Our Guild Leader is going over to face him!"

I Love my Home: "Damn it! Why don't you give us your coordinates? I'll go and beat that Kawa something and send him packing."

Kawaguchi Shinki: "Then come. I'm in Mount Jiangjun, near Dongliao City. Bring all your Inheritors over so that I can teach them all a lesson that they'll never forget, hahaha!"

"Dongliao City to the North? He's going to die!"

When Jiang Feng saw Kawaguchi Shinki's arrogant statement and some of the Japanese players' posts, he became very angry. He summoned the Monster Cloud and headed to the mountains.

"Heifeng, Yanhu, Xiaotian! Follow me, we have a job to do!" He yelled at the mountain.

"Boss, we're here!"

In just a moment, Heifeng, Yanhu, and Xiaotian, all three of his followers, were flying toward him.

"Boss, where are we going?" Heifeng asked Jiang Feng with bruises on his face.

"To kill some invaders!"

With that, Jiang Feng waved his hand and Heifeng, Yanhu, and Xiaotian, all entered into the Qiankun Gourd.

"Kill invaders? That sounds fun! Bring me, bring me...!"

Just as he was about to leave, Guapi, the Horned Lightning Hawk, and the Two-headed Gryphon all flew over. Guapi looked at him excitedly.

'Hm? Bringing them along with him would be great. You cannot underestimate the powers of three level 60 rank 10 bosses.'

"I can bring you along, but you have to listen to me!" Jiang Feng said.

"Of course, of course. Come on, let's go already! I want to see what the invaders look like!" Guapi flexed her two dragon claws, filled with anticipation.

"Come!"

Jiang Feng used the Qiankun Gourd and absorbed all the three bosses. He then had the Monster Cloud head to Dongliao City.

It would take at least four hours to get to Dongliao City from the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. With the Monster Cloud's speed, he would need at least four hours.

As for why he did not use the Teleportation Circle, that was because he had used both his Polymorph and Polymorph Pill and they were on cooldown. He could not use them before the cooldown expires.

That was why he had to fly over.

When he was on his way, he did not have much to do and then remembered that he still had three level 50 boss corpses in the Qiankun Gourd. He took them out and transmuted them all.

"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"

Ding. System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful. Congratulations. You have gained one Black Beast Shell, one piece of equipment, one level 50 Experience Pill, and one drop of bloodline.

"Refine!"

Ding. System Prompt: Refine successful. Congratulations. You have gained one drop of Black Shell Divine Beast Bloodline with a purity of 1%.

'Hm? Looks like the boss's Divine Beast bloodline is higher, having reached 0.5%. By refining it, it could go up to 1%. If I collect more high-level boss bloodlines, doesn't that mean I can evolve quicker?'

After he gave the drop of bloodline in his hand a look, he ate it. His Dragon's bloodline had reached 1.2%.

After he waited for his cooldown for both Transmute Monster and Refine to pass, he transmuted the other two corpses.

Chapter 149: Poisonous Body Pill

After the Monster Transmutation System had been upgraded, the chances of producing bloodline had been increased to 10%.

If he were to include his Luck, the chances of him obtaining bloodline would increase even more.

After consuming three drops of Divine Beast Bloodline, his Dragon bloodline had reached 3.2%. While the increase was small, it was increasing continuously.

"Once I've driven the invaders away, I need to level up some more and rank up to Spiritual Beast, and complete the Chinese Ghost Story quest!"

He mumbled to himself and took out the transmuted pelt and equipment and gave them all to the Auction House.

As he was bored during the flight, he opened the official website to find out more about Kawaguchi Shinki's movement.

As soon as he opened the World's Message Board, another post was at the top.

There was a video in the post, showing the players of Huaxia Server getting slaughtered.

A group of players from Dongliao City headed to Mount Jiangjun as soon as they knew Kawaguchi was there. All one thousand of them had been killed.

From the video, Kawaguchi brought a hundred other players with him. All of them were elites. However, the leader was not him, but another handsome man with puffed hair.

As he was not there, he didn't know who that man was.

When faced with the attack from a thousand players, all hundred of them were calm. That man did not even move an inch.

The ones that did all the work were Kawaguchi Shinki and the others.

Kawaguchi Shinki held a machete in his hand, killing the players with ghost-like speed.

"Haha! All of you are rubbish! One blade, one life! Just like how I kill cats and dogs back in the real world."

Jiang Feng's dragon claws tightened when he saw this, his blood-red dragon eyes became cold.

The video was very short. It was not because it did not record it till the end, it was because the elites were simply too powerful. The one thousand could not fight back when facing them.

His guess was that these one hundred were the top hundred players from the Japanese Server.

"Japanese Server, huh? Just you wait, when I have the chance I'll destroy all of you!"

After he finished watching the video and scanned through the posts, none of the posters were from Huaxia Server. Many that replied were from the American and Japanese Servers. Those from the American Server praised them while those from the Japanese Server clamored. It sickened him and caused him to become so infuriated to the point where he almost entered the Berserk State.

"Huff..."

After he had calmed down, he took out a pill furnace and prepared to create some pills. According to Uncle Hua, the process of creating pills could help him calm his emotions.

Once he had taken out the pill furnace, he then remembered something as his eyes beamed. "That's right, I still have the Teleportation Cauldron! Let's see if I can use the Teleportation Cauldron and appear close by Dongliao City!"

Holding on to that thought, he put away the pill furnace and took out the Teleportation Cauldron. He entered the Teleportation Cauldron and used its teleportation ability.

Whoosh!

The Teleportation Cauldron disappeared, and it reappeared next to Mount Kunlun.

Disappointed, he used the Teleportation Cauldron's teleportation once again.

This time, he reappeared near Nanhai. He used the teleportation ability again. As long as he was not within an aggro zone, he could teleport every time he spent 10,000gp.

Now that he had money, he would not pay much attention to tens of thousands of gp.

Whoosh!

"Mount Tianxue? It isn't far from Dongliao City. I can get there in half an hour!" He mumbled to himself as his fourth teleport brought him close to Beiyu City. He put away the Teleportation Cauldron and summoned the Monster Cloud and headed toward Dongliao City as fast as he could.

Thanks to the Teleportation Cauldron, he had saved almost three hours.

He sat on the Monster Cloud and took out the pill furnace, preparing to kill some time by creating pills. However, when he remembered that video, his anger flared up again.

'Other than feeding them to my enemies, the viruses that I got from the Cave of the Undead had no other uses. Let's see if I can use it to create any pills!'

When he thought of that, he threw in ten bags of virus into the furnace. He then opened the Trading Hall and bought some poisonous herbs and poisonous monster body parts, such as a poisonous gall.

While his Pharmacy skill had reached Spiritual Level, he had no formulas so he had to research on his own.

"Pharmacy!"

Ding. System Prompt: Pharmacy failed. Pharmacy proficiency 200.

"Continue!"

Since he had many bags of Virus on him, he did not feel the pinch even when he failed. He took ten more bags and threw them into the furnace. He then bought another batch of poisonous herbs and threw them in as well.

Ding. System Prompt: Pharmacy failed. Pharmacy proficiency 200.

...

"Pharmacy!"

Ding. System Prompt: Pharmacy successful. You have obtained an unnamed pill. Pharmacy proficiency 20,000. As you are the first to create a Spiritual Pill, it shall be announced to the entire server. Hide your name?

"No!"

Since the system would always announce the name he used during Polymorph and not his identity as the Shifters' Inheritor, he did not care.

Perhaps the System knew that he was a player. And in order to protect the player, it would still announce his player ID.

Ding. Server Announcement: Congratulations to player "Jiang Feng" for creating the "Unnamed" Spiritual Pill. As he is the first player to create a Spiritual Pill, he is rewarded with 1,000gp, 1,000 reputation points, and one random pill formula.

After twenty minutes, he had only succeeded once after using the various types of poisonous herbs and bags of virus.

After the server announcement, he opened the pill furnace and looked inside.

There were two purple color pills within the furnace.

Unnamed: Special Spiritual Pill

Upon consumption, Poison resistance 10%. Bestow the "Poisonous Body" buff for 10 minutes. Each attack will be Poisonous. Those who are Poisoned will lose 500 HPs per second, for a duration of 30 seconds. Does not stack. Cooldown of 20 minutes.

"Not bad. Poison attacks after taking it. While it doesn't stack, as long as I keep attacking, the Poisoned status will be continuous. Unless they have pills that can instantly restore HPs, I can poison my enemies to death since pills that restore HPs can gradually be cut off by causing damage," Jiang Feng looked at the two violet pills in his hand with joy. "I guess I'll call you Poisonous Body Pills."

Ding. System Prompt: Naming successful.

Since he still had around ten minutes before reaching the place, he continued creating pills using the same formula as before.

However, the way that he passed his time was being discussed by the players within the game.

"Damn him. Now all the players are busy hunting down the invaders but this Jiang Feng... He is still free enough to create Spiritual Pills... Wait a minute, a Spiritual Pill... Damn! Don't tell me that he has already become a Spiritual Level Pharmacist?"

"Does this guy have some sort of special technique to increase proficiency in Craft-Profession skills? First, he became a Spiritual-Level Smith. Now, he became a Spiritual-Level Pharmacist. Even if he had trained both, he shouldn't be able to get to such high levels so quickly!"

Other than the players from the Huaxia Server discussing him, Kawaguchi Shinki and his players were also discussing him at Mount Jiangjun.

Kawaguchi Shinki approached the handsome man with puffed hair and asked, "Kitasawa Hinata, I didn't expect that someone from the Huaxia Server to have honed their Craft-Profession skills to Spiritual Level. Should we hunt him down?"

Kitasawa Hinata narrowed his eyes and said, "A Spiritual-level Pharmacist, huh? Let them know that as long as this Spiritual-level Pharmacist can prepare one thousand Spiritual Pills within seven days, we won't come again. If they don't, we will come here every week!"

Kawaguchi Shinki nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. With the Ruler of Hakai we obtained from the Mirror of Yata, we can go to any server that we want. If they don't meet our demand, we will mess them all up!"

"Hahaha... So what if they have a Spiritual-Level Pharmacist? He is still going to end up working for our Emperor!"

"Haha..."

The players from the Japanese Server laughed with arrogance, it was as if the entire Huaxia Server was already theirs.

Chapter 150: Yao Qiong Lost

Kawaguchi Shinki led a hundred players and invaded the Huaxia Server.

And even said that they would slaughter players from the Huaxia Server.

Such ruthlessness caused anger in any Chinese that still had some pride in them.

All the guild leaders and inheritors, all head toward Mount Jiangjun near Dongliao City.

The Divines' Inheritor Qiu Si, the Infernals' Inheritor Yao Qiong, Canaan Guild's Canaan, Myth Group's Shen Ye, Ling Yun, Hao Tian, Su Xingyu and other top players from the Huaxia Server teleported to Dongliao City as soon as they received news about it and led their followers toward Mount Jiangjun.

Of course, there were not many top players among them. Only around twenty, but they believed that this was more than enough.

Many other elites did not appear because they were still in quests or they were still observing, refusing to show themselves.

Dongliao City, a man, and a woman sat facing each other. The handsome man wore a blue robe and was drinking a cup of wine. "Sis, we really don't need to interfere with this?"

The woman was very beautiful with a heroic spirit on her. However, the mole on the side of her eye destroyed that spirit and made her look like a temptress instead.

She ate the dishes in front of her with a curled lip, "No need. Just the Shifters' Inheritor alone would be more than enough. I don't know what the Japanese are thinking, attacking Huaxia Server. I suppose they haven't undergone despair yet!"

The blue-robed man was not quite sure and said, "What if the Shifters' Inheritor won't come?"

The woman said with confidence, "From the words that he said during the Siege of the Ancient City, he would definitely come. Unlike Yao Qiong who always said that she would fight for the country which made her look fake. While I don't know who he is, I am sure that he is not someone that would feel nothing when his country is being attacked!"

A forest near Mount Jiangjun, a man in black clothing looked at the players from the Japanese Server and said, "Just a bunch of clowns."

With that, he turned and left as if he did not really care.

In a dungeon, a man killed a level 55 boss. He then mumbled to himself, "Hopefully those people outside can deal with those players from the Japanese Server. If they can't, then wait for me to be done with this!"

Ghostmist Forest, Xiao Lan was soaking in a hot spring within a palace. She gently rubbed her body as a female spirit follower of hers spread some petals in. She then asked, "Mistress, the men from the Japanese Server have come to our country. Should we go?"

Xiao Lan gave her a sexy smile and shook her head. "There is no need for that. That licentious dragon will deal with them."

When she thought of Jiang Feng, she remembered what happened at the small house by the lake. She blushed, and said angrily, "That damn dragon! One of these days, I will make you pay!"

The first group that arrived at Mount Jiangjun was Yao Qiong. She was from the military, so when she heard that the Japanese players had invaded, she was incensed. She came as soon as possible and was also the first one to climb up Mount Jiangjun.

Yao Qiong waved his hands, and many black figures appeared around her. She looked at the hundred men in front of her coldly and locked her sight at Kitasawa Hinata.

"An Inheritor of the Divines? Looks like the other servers also have their own Inheritors!"

Kitasawa Hinata smiled and looked at Yao Qiong amusingly, and said, "The Infernals' Inheritor? You're quite daring. Are you here to die? Or are you here to keep me company?"

"Kill them!"

Yao Qiong did not waste any time. She waved her hand, and her Infernal followers all rushed toward Kitasawa Hinata.

"Fine, kill her!" Kitasawa Hinata smiled coldly. After he gave the order, he then stepped aside as Kawaguchi Shinki and a dozen other players attacked Yao Qiong.

"Infernal Shades! Infernal Blood Whip!"

Yao Qiong split into ten figures, a crimson bloody whip appeared in their hands and whipped at the players that were approaching her. In the blink of an eye, several weaker players had been slain.

"Taiga Katana!"

Kawaguchi Shinki smiled coldly and placed his machete in front of him. Suddenly, his figure flashed through the air. Very quickly, all of Yao Qiong's duplicates had been destroyed. Even Yao Qiong herself had been stabbed once in the chest, receiving a large amount of damage.

"Infernalize!"

Angered, Yao Qiong used her strongest skill. Next, her body was enlarged and her eyes became blue. The Infernal Miasma around her became even thicker.

She attacked with the chakram in her hand, immediately halving Kawaguchi Shinki's HPs.

Kawaguchi Shinki frowned and quickly retreated.

However, Yao Qiong did not give him the chance and pursued after him.

At this time, twenty players appeared behind Kawaguchi Shinki. All of them used their most powerful attack. With all twenty attacks hitting her, she was slain before she could even react. She turned into a white light and disappeared.

It had to be said that Yao Qiong had been blinded by her rage to have attacked them on her own. The opposing group was made of a hundred elites, and they even had inheritors among them. Even if she was the Infernals' Inheritor, she could not fight against all of the elites and the inheritors at the same time.

"Weak! Huaxia Server's Inheritors aren't much to contend with!" Kitasawa Hinata, who did not even lift a finger, snorted coldly.

Very quickly, the video where Yao Qiong was slain was shown on the World Message Board. At the same time, they wanted Jiang Feng to create one thousand Spiritual Pills for them. If he were to comply, they would not come to Huaxia Server again.

Many of the players that saw the video were enraged, but some players said something that made the players from Huaxia Server feel very disappointed.

"Damn! Help them create Spiritual Pills? 1,000 of them? Get the hell out of here! You won't even get one!"

"I say... we don't have to be so offended by this. Let bygones be bygones. They just want 1,000 Spiritual Pills, right? Let's just all donate some ingredients and have Jiang Feng make those pills for them and call it a day?"

"Hey, you! Are you even part of Huaxia Server? You make me sick! We weren't the ones that attacked them, they attacked us! Are you going to be that much of a coward? Kneeling down and licking the boots of those that attacked us? Can you please be a man?"

When Qiu Si and the rest arrived at the foot of the mountain, they all knew about the post on the World Message Board. They were angry, and the group headed straight to the mountain top, wanting to finish them off.

Those who got to become bosses of their guilds were all intelligent people. They knew what to do when a common enemy came.

It was fine if there were some infighting among the guilds. They could use it to increase their members' fighting experience and increase their power.

But in a situation where they were all invaded, they could still unite to face a common enemy.

Otherwise, there was no point in participating in the World War. They should iust surrender.

Ding. System Prompt: Pharmacy successful. Congratulations. You gained two Poisonous Body Pills.

Jiang Feng, who had reached Dongliao City, was still creating pills.

Within a few minutes, he had already created four batches of pills. He now had an additional eight Poisonous Body Pills.

"Almost there!" He mumbled as he raised his head and looked at a city far away. He put away the Pill Furnace and the herbs and his huge body coiled on the Monster Cloud, and he looked toward Mount Jiangjun with dignity.

Chapter 151: Have You Ever Fallen Into Despair?

Dongliao City, Mount Jiangjun.

Level 50 monster territory.

The monsters at the mountain top had been cleared. As Yao Qiong had killed four of the Japanese players, there were still ninety six players there, waiting for their prey.

The sky was a clear blue in the game. There was a breeze, making it a comfortable temperature with the coldness it brings.

It was quiet all around, even the wind was carefully tipping its toe.

However, the silence was only temporary. It would always be broken by something coming from the shadows.

Rumble!

Thousands of players rushed toward Mount Jiangjun.

The ones leading them were the Inheritor of the Divines, Qiu Si, as well as the elites from the other guilds. The others were all players in their second classes and were considered to be good players.

Very quickly, the group arrived at the mountain top and had clashed with the players led by Kitasawa Hinata.

There was no communication at all, but they were all ready to fight. It was as if the World War had already begun.

"Alright, quite a few elites came this time. I wonder if they would drop any good loot? If they do, then this little trip would be worth it!" Kawaguchi Shinki said with a smile as he readied the machete in his hand.

"The Divines' Inheritor is here as well. He's mine. Let me test Huaxia Server's Inheritor of the Divines, I will leave the rest to you," A man in a black garb standing next to Kawaguchi Shinki said in a blood-curdling voice. Just like Yao Qiong, a black miasma surrounded him.

"Haha! Sakaguchi Shouta, we will leave the Divines' Inheritor to you. If there are others, please let us have the chance to fight as well," The Inheritor of the Spirits, Hanai Mamoru said.

"No problem," Sakaguchi Shouta said as he licked his lips and looked at Qiu Si coldly.

"Such arrogance! Let's kill the invaders!"

Qiu Si was angered when he heard their conversation and unsheathed his Divine Dragon Sword and commanded the players behind him. He then dove head-on toward Sakaguchi Shoua, the Inheritor of the Infernals from the Japanese Server.

"Tornado!"

Qiu Si unleashed his crowd control skill the moment he rushed over.

However, Kitasawa Hinata moved away as if he had foreseen the attack. He was not the only one, many of them had evaded the attack. His attack had only managed to hit around eleven players who were slow to react.

"Kill them!"

When Canaan and the rest saw Qiu Si attack, they all unleashed their ultimate skills.

"Infernal Butcher, Great Annihilation Technique!"

Sakaguchi Shouta took out a scythe and waved it, a black ball of miasma appeared in the air. The black miasma shot forth balls of black fire toward the group of players.

-21,342

-19,348

...

Damage exceeding 20,000 appeared above the heads of the players within the group. In just a short while, a dozen players had already been heavily injured or killed. The devastation was terrible.

"Come!" After using his ultimate skill, Sakaguchi Shouta waved his hand and multiple black figures appeared next to him. Those were his followers.

He pointed at the Canaans, and the shadows all pounced toward them.

At this time, Qiu Si had finally gotten to Sakaguchi Shouta. He thrust his Divine Dragon Sword toward him, and a giant dragon head opened its jaw to chomp at him.

Sakaguchi Shouta did not panic and his figure disappeared.

Seeing what had happened, Qiu Si looked around carefully but only to see the black figure that Ling Yun was fighting suddenly become Sakaguchi Shouta himself. Using the scythe in his hand, he slashed Ling Yun three times causing around 50,000 worth of damage, instantly killing him.

That was the difference between a normal class and an inheritor. If one wanted to close the gap, they would need to access the secret classes.

Seeing Ling Yun had been slain, Qiu Si frowned as he attacked Sakaguchi Shouta again.

Unfortunately, while Sakaguchi Shouta was originally focusing his attacks on him, he now completely ignored him. Instead, he shifted between his black figures. Every time he shifted, his scythe would slice apart and kill the players that were fighting the black figure. He was extremely powerful.

However, this had caused Qiu Si to reach his boiling point. He roared, "Divine Dragon Guards!"

Next to him, five Divine Dragon Guards appeared. These Divine Dragon Guards had the stats of level 50 bosses, and all attacked the black figures.

As the Divine Dragon Guards' HPs were around 70,000, which was extremely high by their current standard, Sakaguchi Shouta was unable to kill them instantly.

In the end, he had to give up his tactics of killing the other players and focused his effort on Qiu Si.

"Hm? He has five Divine Dragon Guards? Looks like the Divines' Inheritor from the Huaxia Server does have some skills after all." Kitasawa Hinata looked at the summoned Divine Dragon Guards and smiled coldly after an initial surprise.

All the players had entered the conflict, only he himself looked at this quietly.

No one attacked him, and he did not attack anyone.

It was as if the battle had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Feng had finally arrived near Mount Jiangjun after his one-hour journey.

At this time, many players had gathered near Mount Jiangjun. Some of these players belonged to a guild. Some of them were solo players. All of them were climbing Mount Jiangjun.

As for the mountain top of Mount Jiangjun itself, the lights from magic and skills signaled that the battle had already begun.

The moment he had arrived, the players that were climbing the mountain became excited when they saw the Monster Cloud.

"Look! It's the Shifters' Inheritor! Haha! Those players from the Japanese Server are so dead!"

"Shifters' Inheritor! Defeat them! Kill them all!"

"Sigh... Our Infernals' Inheritor has failed, and I heard that the group that the Divines' Inheritor brought is on the verge of defeat. If our elite players don't join together, it'll be difficult to defeat them!"

While his appearance had brought great excitement to his fans, there were still those that were not optimistic about him.

The Japanese Server's top 100 players were all there, while only around twenty of Huaxia's top players went over. And they did not even go there together and had been killed one by one. Their effectiveness was limited.

"Hahaha! This is all the Huaxia Server has? Weak! You better have that Jiang Feng deliver the Spiritual Pills over. Otherwise, we'll come over every week and have you surrender automatically during the World War!"

He had just arrived at the mountain top when Jiang Feng heard Kawaguchi Shinki's bragging.

He was infuriated when he heard the bragging, and he blinked in front of Kawaguchi Shinki, who was stepping on the body of a Huaxia Server's player. He extended his dragon claws and caught him. Then, his two claws wrenched him apart, and his body was pulled into pieces as his blood spilled all over. Kawaguchi Shinki had been instantly killed.

And it became quiet!

Very quiet!

The scene where the boastful Kawaguchi Shinki was instantly killed, shocked everyone.

Looking at the surprised players, Jiang Feng did not care much as he picked up the loot that Kawaguchi Shinki had dropped and threw them into his spatial bracelet. He then looked around.

Only to see that from among the one thousand players that Qiu Si was leading, only the five elites and some players that were not as powerful were left. The five elites were Qiu Si, Canaan, Haotian, Su Xingyu, and Shen Ye.

But they were all bloodied and they did not have many HPs left.

On the other hand, there were around eighty players left from the Japanese Server, and most of them were still at full HPs.

Looking at the bodies of the Huaxia Server's players scattered on the ground, and when he remembered the video about the Japanese Server's players slaughtering the players from the Huaxia Server, he narrowed his eyes as murderous intent spilled over.

At this time, Qiu Si gave him a pill.

He looked at it and realized that it was the Divine Speech Pill. He did not hesitate and ate it.

"You are the Inheritor of the Shifters? Looks like you are the Inheritor of the Shifters, ruler of the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor. You are very strong, to be able to instantly kill a player with a secret class with 30,000 HPs." Kitasawa Hinata said with a smile.

After overcoming his initial shock, Kitasawa Hinata summoned a black peacock and climbed on it. He then headed toward Jiang Feng.

"The Inheritor of the Divines from the Japanese server!"

Jiang Feng had guessed Kitasawa Hinata's class when he came over. What he did not expect was that he would be the Japanese Server's Inheritor of the Divines. No wonder he could lead the other elites.

"That is correct. I am the Inheritor of the Divines from the Japanese server. I heard that you are but an NPC? No wonder I didn't find the Shifters' Inheritor in my server. But from where I stand, you're just a set of data wearing the skin of an animal. In the end, you'll just end up on the butcher's chopping board." Kitasawa Hinata looked at Jiang Feng with a sneer. It was obvious that he had some understanding of Jiang Feng. However, he believed that humans were the creators of data, and data could only be data in the end. He despised him.

Jiang Feng's eyes became even redder and he said in a calm but frigid tone, "Have you ever fallen into despair?"

Chapter 152: Steamroll

Ling Feiyu did not expose Jiang Feng's identity to the masses so many still assumed that he was an NPC.

His exploits had been recorded in the Official Website's game history post.

Before Kitasawa Hinata came to the Huaxia Server, they naturally would have some understanding of who was who in the Huaxia Server. That was why they dared to crossover to the Huaxia Server in such a boastful manner in the first place.

But he did not expect that him calling him "animal" would have angered Jiang Feng.

"Have you ever fallen into despair?"

Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes that were as large as lanterns as he looked at Kitasawa Hinata with murderous intent.

Kitasawa Hinata stepped forward and sneered, "That's our question to you!"

"Is it, now?" Jiang Feng smirked as the Qiankun Gourd silently appeared in his dragon claw. He waved, and sixty bosses with levels above 50 appeared on the Monster Cloud. He put away the Qiankun Gourd and pointed at them. "Let them experience despair!"

Some of the bosses were the followers that he had recruited from the beginning of the game, the fifty bosses that he recruited from the Island of the Shifter Emperor, as well as Guapi, Horned Lightning Hawk and the Two-headed Gryphon.

"Make them lose hope? Hehe, I love this!"

Heifeng smiled and licked his nose, and his eyes beamed with excitement as he looked at Kitasawa Hinata and the other players.

Seeing that Jiang Feng could summon so many bosses, Kitasawa Hinata was shocked, but that shock quickly turned to disdain.

While the bosses' powers were far above a normal player with a phenomenal amount of HPs, they were simply monsters without much intelligence. With their abilities, each of them could solo a boss. They were not afraid of him.

Seeing the disdain in Kitasawa Hinata's eyes, Jiang Feng smiled coldly in his heart and uttered two words, "Kill them!"

"Come now, little humans! Your uncle Heifeng is here! Show your arse and wait for me to give them a good smacking!"

Heifeng said as he flapped his wings and rushed toward the Japanese Players below them.

Yanhu, Xiaotian, the Thunderclap Mantis, and the rest of the bosses followed through.

In a moment, the battle had once again begun. Qiu Si and the others followed Heifeng and attacked the Japanese Server monsters together.

Frankly speaking, Jiang Feng alone could destroy the Japanese Players. However, since Kitasawa Hinata was so haughty, he did not mind playing along for a while.

"Animals will always be animals, you don't understand the distance between yourself and the humans. While you do have high HPs, but you lack intelligence, you lack... Impossible!" Kitasawa Hinata looked at Jiang Feng, and he was acting all high and mighty, but he was overcome with shock when he looked down.

Not only did Heifeng, Yanhu, the Thunderclap Mantis, Xiaotian, and the other bosses have high awareness and intelligence, they were very good at positioning themselves. Using their advantages as bosses, they dodged their enemies' attacks and then killed them in counter-attacks.

In less than a minute, other than a dozen of the top players, all of the other Japanese Server players had been slain by Heifeng and the other bosses.

Kitasawa Hinata did not know that Jiang Feng's followers had been training every day within the Qiankun Gourd. Their fighting experience could match those of some elites. With their high stats, as long as they were not fighting head-on against those at his level, no one would be able to defeat them.

When Jiang Feng saw that Kitasawa Hinata had lost his arrogance, he smiled coldly at him.

Seeing his followers driven back, Kitasawa Hinata unsheathed his sword and attacked Heifeng, who was leading the group of bosses.

Jiang Feng used this opportunity to move into position and shrunk his body size, and appeared next to Heifeng. With the Jingu Staff in hand, he easily blocked Kitasawa Hinata's attack.

He then said to him callously, "Your opponent is me!"

Seeing Jiang Feng blocking his attack, Kitasawa Hinata was even more enraged. He retreated momentarily with his hands holding his sword above his head, then slashed at Jiang Feng, "Shining Sun Slash!"

A giant sun seemed to have been formed by his sword, and it was blindingly bright. All the players and bosses that were fighting had all stopped and withdrawn, trying not to get into its range.

"Damn you!"

Light shot out from Jiang Feng's eyes when he saw that Kitasawa Hinata was going to complete his attack. "Illusion!"

Once he had used this skill, the image that appeared in Kitasawa's eyes was that of Jiang Feng and his boss followers being instantly slain by that technique. Seeing that, he laughed out haughtily and excitedly, "Animals, trash! That's for being so arrogant in front of me! Now, can you feel my power?! Ahahaha!"

He was filled with ecstasy and excitement in having managed to kill Jiang Feng and his followers and did not realize that this was all but an illusion.

If he knew that this was an illusion, he could instantly break through it using his identity as a Divines' Inheritor.

Unfortunately, he lost himself in the phantasm.

"Come on, handsome! Why don't you come over?!" Only when Heifeng appeared in his illusion shaking his buttocks, did he realize that it was a trick. He attacked Heifeng immediately.

At this point, the Illusion had been broken.

He was originally going to leave his position to avoid being attacked, but he did not realize that he had already been surrounded by a group of bosses. He looked at his surroundings as he gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to escape using a positioning skill, the group of bosses all pounced at him. Tens of claws instantly shredded him to death.

"Weak!"

Jiang Feng said that one word as he killed all the Japanese Server players except for one.

"Die..."

The only player left was a short guy with a mustache. When he saw Jiang Feng walking toward him, he rushed toward him with rage.

"Tell your Divines' Inheritor to go back to your server. Otherwise, I won't show mercy next time!"

With that, he clawed him into pieces, instantly killing him.

He then took the loot that was on the ground before taking out the Qiankun Gourd and putting away all his followers.

"Wait!"

Just as he was about to leave, Qiu Si's voice rang out.

Jiang Feng's giant head turned to him as he floated in the air, and asked, "So, you wish to die too?"

Qiu Si shook his head, then gave him five Divine Speech Pills. "They won't leave that easily. If you meet again, then these might be useful to you."

He did not expect Qiu Si to be able to overlook their differences so easily. He looked at the Divine Speech Pills and accepted them without hesitation. He might find a use for them in the future.

Just as he was about to leave, he then looked at Qiu Si, Canaan, and Haotian and said in an uncaring tone, "This time, I won't kill any of you because we have a common enemy. Go back and reflect on yourselves. You are all inheritors, elites. Why is there such a great difference and why were you defeated so easily? What a disgrace!"

With that, Jiang Feng left together with the Monster Cloud.

He knew that the reason Qiu Si had been defeated was not because of the great difference in power. Firstly, it was because they did not understand the skills that their opponents had. Secondly, their opponents were all generalists and had the ability to instantly kill them. Thirdly, their opponents had made preparations and understood their skills and abilities through the official website.

Even he himself was breaking out in cold sweat when he was fighting Kitasawa Hinata. That last skill used made him tremble. Fortunately, it had a long charge time.

Other than Illusion, all his other crowd-control skills could not interrupt Kitasawa Hinata's skill.

Unfortunately for him, this was the first time Kitasawa Hinata had been affected by the Illusion skill. He did not realize in time that the slaying of Jiang Feng and the bosses were all an illusion. A boss had a lot of HPs, and it was not possible for him to instant kill them.

Not to mention that without his followers, he would not be able to kill Kitasawa Hinata since he could not attack him without interrupting the effects of his Illusion skill.

Even if he did interrupt his skill and managed to land a hit on Kitasawa Hinata, he would not be able to instantly kill him with his HPs and defense. If he wanted to escape, he would not be able to stop him anyway.

An inheritor had many cards under his sleeves.

"Steamroll, huh? But the Japanese Server might get assistance from the American Server, and the real elites are all at the American Server. Now, the elite Japanese Server had already been defeated by the elites from the Huaxia Server, hopefully, they learned something from this," Jiang Feng mumbled as he looked at his spoils.

As his luck had been maxed out, other than in special events or locations, killing players in the wild could yield him some particularly good loot.

But he did not kill anyone other than Kawaguchi Shinki and the last player. His followers killed most of them. Even if that was the case, he still got a few good items.

The only reason that he did not personally kill them was that the players from the Japanese Server would not have brought their best equipment with them. They would cry if they were to die and their equipment dropped and taken.

That was why he did not personally fight. He would not be able to get anything good anyways. However, when he saw a ruler in his Spatial Bracelet, he became extremely thrilled.

Chapter 153: Ruler of Hakai

He would normally clear his spatial bracelet once a day and move things into the Auction House's storage.

Other than the Qiankun Gourd, he did not have any valuable items anyways.

However, when he looked at a ruler that was emitting a prismatic light, he became thrilled.

He took out the ruler and had a good look. It was about a meter long and red in color. A prismatic aura was enveloping it.

He switched off the ruler's aura and looked at the ruler's stats.

Ruler of Hakai: Special Divine Artifact

Introduction: During the Great Divine-Infernal War ten thousand years ago, the Primordial Artifact Mirror of Yata was damaged and was divided into three different Divine Artifacts and scattered all across the Japanese Server. The Ruler of Hakai was one part of the Divine Artifact.

Luck 50 (Ignore limit)

Nine Elemental Resistances 30%

Hakai: Can temporarily disable any barrier. Duration of 10 seconds. Cooldown of 24 hours.

Equipment Prerequisite: None

"Haha! I actually got the Japanese Server's Primordial Artifact! Now I know how they managed to cross-over the borders so easily! It was all because of the Ruler of Hakai! Not only did they fail in their show of force, they even lost their Primordial Artifact! They must be crying in regret now!"

His guess was that Kawaguchi Shinki was the original owner of the Ruler of Hakai. The ruler bestowed 50 extra points to Luck. That must be what had allowed him to accept and finish the quest for the secret class so soon.

"It ignores the maximum limit, so that means with the 50 points bonus and my current 100 points maximum, my luck will reach 150 points if I equip the ruler! That means that when I use Transmute Monster, my success rate should greatly increase! I can once again use Transmute Monster's Fusion again!"

"Not only that, but it also gives me a 30% resistance to nine elements. I can already reduce damage by 30%. My current fire resistance is 30% and earth resistance is 20%. If I add the 30% resistances, my fire resistance will become 60% and earth resistance will become 50%. That means that I can resist a lot of fire elemental and earth elemental magic!"

If one were to look at which class could deal the most damage, that class would be the Wizard.

Currently, the Wizard's strengths were not that obvious yet. However, once they had class-changed twice and had all the necessary skills, they would become very powerful.

With the Ruler of Hakai, it could help him resist a lot of damage from the Wizard class.

Of course, there was a limit even on elemental resistance. You still would not be able to ignore all magic when it reaches 100%. But when it reaches 100%, a minimum damage stat would take effect.

For example, a Wizard's damage was 10,000-15,000. When his fire element attack damaged a player with 100% fire resistance, it would make at most 10,000 damage and lower. It would never deal damage higher than this or cause critical hits.

That meant that there was no fear for the player to be instantly killed by Wizards.

However, the Ruler of Hakai was only one part of a Primordial Artifact. Just like the Qiankun Gourd, it did not possess too many stats and those that it had were support types.

While they were only supportive in nature, they were very useful.

For example, with the Hakai skill, if he were to encounter any maps with a special barrier that stopped him from entering, he could use the Ruler of Hakai to enter.

Not only that, but all cities that were above level 3 also had a barrier. The barrier was used to block the monsters from attacking. However, with the Ruler of Hakai, he could enter any city openly without the guards discovering him.

"This is great! I'm feeling much better now. I should go level up and increase my bloodline value to 100%."

The negative emotions that Kitasawa Hinata and the players from the Japanese Servers brought to him had been reduced by the joy he had received from obtaining the Ruler of Hakai. He found a level 50 monster territory nearby and started to grind.

Broken-tooth Crocodile: Level 50 Monster

HPs: 350,000

Attack: 150,000-170,000

Defense: 8,000

Skill: Bull-rush

The Level 50 Broken-tooth Crocodiles could be found in a swamp near Mount Jiangjun. Other than the slightly higher defense, its other stats were all quite ordinary.

He summoned Xiaotian, the Thunderclap Mantis and Yanhu, and very quickly killed a Broken-tooth Crocodile. He then equipped the Ruler of Hakai, and used Transmute Monster on the Broken-tooth Crocodile with anticipation.

"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"

Ding. System Prompt: Monster Transmutation Successful. Congratulations, you have obtained one Broken-Tooth Crocodile Pelt, one Level 50 Experience Pill, and one Evolution Pill.

'I got my first Evolution Pill from the first monster. Was this merely luck or really the effect of the 50 points of luck from the Ruler of Hakai? Let's try again!'

With that thought in mind, he continued killing monsters and using Transmute Monster.

After half an hour, he had reached a conclusion.

"Haha! After killing 100 Broken-tooth Crocodiles, I have obtained 30 drops of bloodline and 12 evolution pills. The Ruler of Hakai is really of great help!"

After the Monster Transmutation System had been upgraded, the chances of him obtaining bloodline had increased by 10% while the chances of him obtaining Evolution Pills had increased by 5%.

That did not mean that he could get ten drops of bloodline and five evolution pills every time he killed one hundred monsters.

But with the Hakai Ruler, not only could he trigger the 10% and 5% chance, he even had a higher chance of triggering them. That made him see the hope of him one day becoming a Divine Beast.

"I have filled up my experience bar by 50%. I should level up to level 49. I haven't used Fusion for so long!"

He looked at his experience bar and quickly consumed the one hundred experience pills that he had obtained through the transmutation.

He only had that many experience pills on him at this time. All the experience pills that he had obtained had been sold at the Auction House. The money he obtained from that had been used on the Ancient City's repairs.

Unfortunately, the price of the Experience Pills was not that high in the market. As the players increase in level, the experience they needed had also increased.

Using him as an example, he needed 10,000,000 worth of experience pills to increase his level from level 48 to 49. One level 50 experience pill would only grant him 50,000 experience points. Killing a level 50 monster would give him 10,000 experience points.

If he wanted to level up, he needed to take in at least two hundred level 50 experience points or kill 1,000 monsters.

One level 50 experience pill was priced at 300, but few people would buy it. The wealthier players would only buy them in sets where there were enough experience pills to increase their level by 1.

Otherwise, no one would buy the pills if they were sold one by one. They would rather spend half an hour killing a few monsters than spending that money.

Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching Level 49. You have received 3 free attribute points.

"They still only give me 3 free attribute points. I wonder when I can get a bloodline that is stronger than the Earthcover Dragon's bloodline. Then, I can get even more free attribute points so that I can increase my Charisma and Insight," He mumbled as he crawled next to a Broken-Tooth Crocodile.

"Transmute Monster, Transmute!"

With that, a giant cauldron dropped from the sky and covered both him and the Broken-Tooth Crocodile.

He felt that the world was revolving afterward as the flames blazed around him, slowly fusing him with the Broken-Tooth Crocodile.

System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful! You have gained the Broken-tooth Crocodile Bloodline.

After a while, he heard the system's voice as the cauldron and the Broken-tooth Crocodile both disappeared. His body continued to spin for a while before it finally stopped.

"I did it!"

He almost cried when he heard that he had succeeded.

It had been a long time.

When fusing with a monster, that would cause his bloodline to increase significantly. If he were to fuse with a dragon, his bloodline and purity would increase by around 20% to 50%. If it were an Immortal Beast or Divine Beast, it would reach 100% immediately.

Fusion was the fastest way for him to evolve.

Unfortunately, the failure rate for fusion was too high. If he were to keep on using fusion, he would still be at the Starter Village at this time. Since every time he failed, he would lose one level. Once his level went down, all his stat increase would be removed. He would not be able to equip his equipment or carry out some of his quests. It would be a great loss to him.

However, there were some benefits to him dropping in levels. When he leveled back up, he would gain even more free attribute points.

While he did give it a thought, he could not guarantee that his rank would not drop too. Once his rank dropped, his attack and defense would as well. That was a loss he could not accept.

As he had successfully fused after the first time, he was certain that after his Luck had broken through the limit, the success rate for his Fusion had increased as well.

He then looked at himself after his fusion.

He was still a brown dragon, but there were a few spikes growing on the fur on his back. It was similar to those from the Broken-tooth Crocodile.

"It does look cool if I have a row of spines growing behind my back, let's fuse and see what will happen!"

Since he was feeling quite good today, he did not mind getting somewhat uglier. With that, he continued to fuse!

Chapter 154: The Post that Twisted the Truth

Luofeng Valley to the North of Dongliao City.

After Kitasawa Hinata and the group of Japanese Server players had been killed, they gathered at Luofeng Valley. There were already around sixty of them there.

At this time, Kawaguchi Shinki ran toward the entrance of the valley, his face extremely pale.

"Shinki, what's going on?" A Japanese Server player asked when he saw that he was not looking so well.

Kitasawa Hinata also looked at Kawaguchi Shinki as he frowned, feeling something bad was about to happen.

Kawaguchi Shinki took a deep breath, then said to Kitasawa Hinata, "I've dropped the Ruler of Hakai!"

"What?!" When Kitasawa Hinata heard the news, he was shaken. He immediately ran toward him and pulled him by his collar and yelled, "You idiot! Didn't you say that it's a Divine Artifact that was bound to you? How could you drop it?!"

Kawaguchi Shinki then glanced at him in fear, and said, "That Special Artifact was only part of a Primordial Artifact, it didn't have the ability to bind to a player. The reason I said that it was bound because I was afraid that you would snatch it from me."

Once he heard his explanation, Kitasawa Hinata understood what had happened.

If the special artifacts that were broken fragments of a Primordial Artifact could be bound to someone, then it could never be gathered and repaired since they would never appear on the same person.

That meant that the Special Artifacts that were part of a Primordial Artifact could not be bound. Just like the Qiankun Gourd, it could be traded!

Smack!

As soon as Kawaguchi Shinki said so, Kitasawa Hinata slapped him across the face to the point where he was physically dazed.

"You idiot! If it were not because you have a secret class, I would kill you back in the real world!" Kitasawa Hinata roared angrily.

It was clear that Kitasawa Hinata knew Kawaguchi Shinki back in the real world, and that he was Kitasawa Hinata's subordinate. It seemed like Kitasawa Hinata's social status in the real world was quite high.

"My apologies," Kawaguchi Shinki lowered his head and apologized.

Kitasawa Hinata was extremely infuriated.

He did not expect that with so many preparations made, he would still stumble in Huaxia Server and lose to an NPC inheritor. Not only that, he had also lost his server's Primordial Artifact's fragment, the Ruler of Hakai. He was both angry and nervous.

Even without considering the effects of the Ruler of Hakai, just its title as one of the Primordial Artifacts of the Japanese Server meant that they could not allow it to fall into the hands of other countries. It would be a great humiliation!

"Why is Sakaguchi Shouta not here yet?" Kitasawa Hinata scanned and asked the elite players around him.

"He sent a message saying that he was in trouble, no need to wait for him," The Inheritor of the Spirits, Hanai Mamoru, said.

"Then we won't wait for him, it's more important for us to find the Ruler of Hakai," Kitasawa said with a frown. "The Shifters' Inheritor was the one that killed you, which means that the Ruler of Hakai has fallen into his possession. Alright, listen up. Spread the word that as long as the Shifters' Inheritor returns the Ruler of Hakai to us, then we won't step into the Huaxia Server before the World War. If he doesn't agree to it, then we will spread out and kill the players of the Huaxia Server. No matter how strong the Shifters' Inheritor is, he can't catch each and every one of us!"

"A good strategy!" When Kawaguchi Shinki heard what Kitasawa Hinata said, his eyes beamed and he praised him.

"Shut it, go do as I say now!" Kitasawa replied coldly.

"Yes!"

East of Dongliao City. After the Infernals' Inheritor from the Japanese Server had been revived, he was sent to a safe place at the East of Dongliao City to be revived.

Just after he looked at his messages the moment he was revived and was ready to assemble with the others at the Luofeng Valley, he was blocked by a woman.

That woman was Yao Qiong, who had been slain earlier.

Due to her special senses toward the Infernal Miasma, she easily found Sakaguchi Shouta.

"Ha! Isn't this the Huaxia Server's Infernals' Inheritor that we just killed? You want to solo me?" Sakaguchi Shouta said with a cold smile.

"I only want to prove that the Infernals' Inheritor from the Huaxia Server isn't any weaker than the Japanese Server's Infernals' Inheritor!" Yao Qiong said in a cold voice. She waved her hand, and dozens of black figures appeared.

"You fool! Do you want to die that badly?!" Sakaguchi Shouta snorted as a scythe appeared in his hand, and dozens of black figures appeared next to him as well.

After they had readied themselves, they rushed toward each other with weapons in hand.

"Infernal Shadow Slash!"

"Heavenly Demon..."

Just as the two were about to clash, the dozens of black figures all entered into her body. Her body suddenly blazed forward and appeared behind Sakaguchi Shouta.

Bang!

-59,323

Every single black figure could deal 50% of base damage. She had dozens of them, and with her skill's damage, she dealt almost 60,000 points of damage. And this was before calculating Sakaguchi Shouta's defense.

As the Japanese Server's Inheritor of the Infernals, he had around 50,000 hit points. In the end, he still could not defend against Yao Qiong's ultimate attack.

She learned this from Archmaster Moji and was mainly used to cause damage to enemies by expensing her Infernal Soldiers.

"While I've lost some Infernal Soldiers, but it's worth it seeing that I have instantly killed him!"

Yao Qiong walked next to his body and looked at the two items that were dropped. She gave them a look, then discarded them seeing that they were worthless. She then turned and left.

That was how fast a decision could be made when two elites clashed with each other. They could determine the victors in the blink of an eye.

In truth, the way that Sakaguchi Shouta lost was slightly unfair. He lost at how he used his skill, as there was a slight delay in how the skill was used.

In the game, a skill could be used by either reading it silently in the mind or calling it out. There was no button to be pressed on a keyboard.

The longer the name of the skill, the slower it could be used when compared to skills with shorter names.

If Sakaguchi Shouta were the one that used his skill first, it would still be a mystery on who would win.

Everyone thought that the invasion of the Japanese Server would have ended after Jiang Feng had killed all of them. However, a new situation had developed in the Official World Message Board.

There was a very hot post, with players from both the Huaxia and Japanese Servers having a fight.

The topic of the post was: Huaxia Server Player too shameless! Stole our server's Primordial Artifact! We want our Primordial Artifacts returned and an apology, or we would break the friendship between our nations!

The content was basically saying that the players from the Japanese Servers crossed over the border so that they could build stronger ties, not to kill. But the players from the Huaxia Server killed them, and they fought back because of that.

After they fought back, they were killed by the inheritors of the Huaxia Server and had even dropped the Japanese Server's Primordial Artifact. They want it returned, or they would be forced to attack.

The only reason that they did not mention that the Shifters' Inheritor was the one that killed them was that they thought that Jiang Feng was an NPC. It would be useless for them to go against an NPC since an NPC would not need to care what players have to say.

The post pushed all the responsibility to the Inheritors, in the hopes of having them killing each other.

So, in conclusion, the entire post was saying that they were very open, very kind, very sad. And that the Huaxia Server was very dark, very shameless and very barbaric.

In order to create a positive image of themselves, the videos where they killed the players had been deleted.

Many of the players from other servers that saw the post began to help the Japanese server.

Random Player from European Server: This is a bit too much, coming from the Huaxia Server. They only wanted to interact with you guys, no need to kill them, and steal their Primordial Artifact. Suggest returning it and offer an apology!

Huaxia Server Troll: What do you mean to give it back? Hoho, looks like they like to play this kind of game and distort the facts. So, you deleted the post and the video? Luckily, I've saved them. Everyone, take a look at what the players from the Japanese Server did! I'm not generalizing. The post is only aimed at these people!

Japanese Server Player: Return out Primordial Artifact and apologize!

Over some time, the post became extremely popular. Some of them helped the Huaxia Server, and some of them helped the Japanese Server.

But many of the players that were in the message board did not know that Kitasawa Hinata had already begun to kill the Huaxia Servers' players that were leveling outside so that he could get the Ruler of Hakai back. Before killing them, he even said that if Jiang Feng did not give up the Ruler of Hakai and apologize, he would keep on killing for that one week.

Jiang Feng was also killing monsters and leveling up happily. But if he knew what had happened, his good mood would be ruined. Who knew what he would do in his anger?!

Chapter 155: What are You Doing?

Jiang Feng had been killing monsters for around three hours at Mount Jiangjun.

During this time, he had been using the Fusion skill from the Monster Transmutation System.

He was thrilled that he only failed once after fusing four times.

After he had failed, he lost 1 level and was once again at level 48. But at least now he knew that the Fusion skill's success rate had increased significantly.

After trying it four times, he did not continue testing it again.

If he were to drop another level, his name would no longer be at Huaxia Server's Level Leaderboard and World Leader Board.

Since increasing levels was so difficult and the attributes he gained from the Broken-tooth Crocodile was around a hundred, he would be at a disadvantage.

That time, he primarily wanted to test his success rate on using Fusion.

As his aim had been met, he was no longer going to fuse with the Broken-tooth Crocodile. Even if he wanted to fuse, he would fuse with a monster that was more powerful.

While he had stopped fusing with the Broken-tooth Crocodile, he began to farm for bloodlines and Evolution Pills and then refine the bloodlines.

After three hours, he managed to get around one hundred drops of bloodline and had refined them all into Divine Beast Bloodline. After eating them, his Dragon's bloodline had reached 22.4%.

And this was only three hours. If he were to spend one whole day, he would definitely reach 100% for his bloodline. Then, he would be able to evolve again.

As for the Evolution Pills, he had twenty nine of them.

He entered the Qiankun Gourd and looked at Heifeng, Yanhu, and his other followers. He noticed that all of their Bloodlines were not maxed. He had to first fuse them with other monsters to max out their Bloodlines, and then give them the Evolution Pills to help them evolve.

When he increased his own power, he needed to take care of his followers as well.

Once the difference between their powers was too great, then his followers' effectiveness would fall.

Beep! Beep!

Just as he was about to leave the Broken-tooth Crocodile swamp, his Friend panel began to blink.

It was a message from Mu Xi.

"She has managed to get all the ingredients. I should return to the Ancient City and have Robert forge something.

Mu Xi's message was very short. All it said was that she had the materials and she would like to have a piece of equipment with high defense and could absorb health. Not only that, she even gave him 100,000 as a fee for his services.

Beep! Beep!

Just as he was about to leave using the Town Portal skill, another message came through.

This time, it was Ling Feiyu.

Ling Feiyu: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Feng: "Kill monsters, levelling up."

Ling Feiyu: "Then why did you drop a level?"

Jiang Feng smiled helplessly: "How did you know I dropped a level? You're concerned about me?"

Ling Feiyu: "..."

Jiang Feng: "Main point, please!"

Ling Feiyu: "Take a look at the World Message Board!"

When he saw the last text that Ling Feiyu sent, Jiang Feng was taken aback. He opened the World Message Board and took a look.

Once he opened the World Message Board, he then saw the two topics with the word "Hot."

He first looked at the topic posted by Kitasawa Hinata, and his smile turned into a frown almost instantly.

When he entered and read the post, he became even angrier.

He then opened the second "Hot" post.

The topic of the post was: Players from the other server, you still want the Ruler of Hakai back after killing so many players in Dongliao City? Go to hell!

He entered the post, and all of them were pictures of players being killed. One of the bosses even had words carved into it by Kawaguchi Shinki using his sword.

The system's translator translated the words, and the Chinese translation appeared in front of him.

"Shifters' Inheritor, you animal! If you don't return the Ruler of Hakai, we will use this one week to spread chaos in the Huaxia Server!"

"Damn it!"

Jiang Feng was instantly infuriated thanks to his aggressiveness.

"Heifeng, Yanhu, Thunderclap Mantis, let's go! Follow me to another server!" With that, he summoned the Monster Cloud and put away Heifeng, Yanhu, and the Thunderclap Mantis. He then headed toward the oceanic border near Dongliao City.

Though he was angered, he did not lose his mind.

If he were to look for Kitasawa Hinata, he could find and kill a few. However, they would not feel anything since they could revive anywhere. Then, they would just continue to kill at another location.

He could not pursue the players all the time. It would waste time and change nothing.

The only way was to cross the border and enter another server, and force them to return.

Once they had returned to their own server, they could no longer cross into Huaxia Server without the Ruler of Hakai. All of his problems would be solved!"

To the north of Dongliao City was the Bohai Sea. Both the borders of the Japanese Server and the Korean Server were centered at this place.

With the Monster Cloud's speed, he only needed three hours to fly toward the border.

During his journey, he stored all the materials given to him by Mu Xi into the Imperial Dragon Auction House. Then, he opened the Ancient City's management panel and asked Robert to take the materials and forge some equipment for him.

He then bought some herbs and began to create some healing pills.

Uncle Hua had given him about a dozen Large Recovery Pills, but he would need more so he had no choice but to create more.

Unfortunately, spiritual level herbs were very rare in the Trading Hall. He had only managed to get around seven or eight sets of ingredients. After two hours, he had only created two batches and obtained around twenty pills.

That was mainly because of his low Pharmacy level. If he was at Uncle Hua's level, he could get around fifty of them.

Not to mention that when he was creating the Large Recovery Pills, his hands were a bit slow. Since he still needed to look at the herb's stats that Uncle Hua had taught him. The steps of putting the herbs in were also quite stringent, and he had wasted a lot of time.

After he had prepared everything, he then opened Ling Feiyu's Friend panel and sent her a message. "Can you help me post a message in the World Message Board? Tell Kitasawa Hinata and his pals that I'm giving them two hours. If they are still in the Huaxia Server in two hours, they will regret it!"

Ling Feiyu: "Work hard and be careful! If you need help, call me!"

Ling Feiyu was no fool. Once she saw what Jiang Feng replied to her and remembered the Ruler of Hakai and his temper, she could already guess what he wanted to do.

Looking at Ling Feiyu's encouragement, concern, and friendship, he was stunned. He did not expect that Ling Feiyu would respond in that way.

He shook his head and paid the conversation no more attention. He logged out for a toilet break and had some food before going back online, preparing himself for a huge battle!

Los Angeles, the United States of America.

A messy female dorm in a famous university.

A beautiful woman with an eastern appearance and messy long hair walked out of her bedroom while wearing a cartoon set of pajamas. She went into the bathroom thrilled.

"My baby is going to make a move! Yeah! Yay, yay! Beat the hell out of them! Who told them to- Carina, what are you doing?"

The eastern beauty was mumbling as she opened the bathroom. She then saw a woman with blonde hair and green eyes taking a shower in the bathroom.

She looked at Carina stunned.

When Carina saw the eastern beauty, she blushed and roared, "Ling Feiyu! Can you knock before you come in? Also, don't wear my pajamas!!"

The eastern beauty was indeed Ling Feiyu. She had been sent overseas to complete her studies by her family since she was in high school.

"Whoopsie-daisy didn't realize you're in there. But we're both pretty girls, nothing wrong seeing each other like that..." Ling Feiyu smiled and patted Carina.

"Ling Feiyu! What are you doing? Stop it!" Carina said embarrassingly.

"Speaking of which, you're so pretty and so many boys are chasing after you. Why didn't you say yes to any of them?" Ling Feiyu gave Carina's buttock a slap, then having her move aside as she sat down on the toilet.

"You know who I like. Our American Server's Johns. After seeing him in that siege, I love him to death! I'm going to leave my first time for him, of course!" Carina said with love pouring out from her eyes.

Ling Feiyu rolled her eyes at her. "Johns is nothing. Our Huaxia Server's Shifters' Inheritor is so handsome... Silver hair, crimson eyes, and the fierce aura of a CEO... Tsk tsk, every time I'm next to him I have to act like an ice queen when in fact, all I wanted to do is to pounce on him. I'm so mentally tired..."

In the end, Ling Feiyu still loved her own country. Even when she was overseas, she did not join another country's server. She wanted to return home a long time ago, but if it were not because her family wanted her to finish her doctorate before her return, she would have flown back a long time ago.

"Haha! Ling Feiyu, are you finally going crazy? Yes, I agree that the Shifters' Inheritor from your server is very handsome and strong, but he's an NPC! Don't tell me you fell in love with an NPC?" Carina laughed.

"So, what? I don't mind!" Ling Feiyu acted in a harsh way, then sweetly mumbled as she lowered her head, "My Feng is not an NPC!"

If Jiang Feng were to see how the entire thing played out just now, he would be shocked beyond belief.

She was completely different from the cold and dispassionate Ling Feiyu that he knew from the game!

Perhaps everyone had more than one personality that they show depending on the circumstances.

"Alright alright. I need to go back to the game and do some quests. Oh, if you're free, give your hair a comb and clean up your room! They're so messy!" Carina told her and returned to her room.

"I'm not cleaning up! I still have to help my baby post his message!"

She mumbled and returned to her messy room. She then logged into the Official World Message Board from her computer and composed her post.

Her room was filled with snacks and clothing. The only clean spot was perhaps where a picture on the computer table was placed.

It was a picture that was framed using a glass frame. In the picture was a silver-haired, red-eyed man holding a longsword standing on a black cloud waging war with a fearsome aura.

The man in the picture was Jiang Feng!

Chapter 156: Will You Retreat or Not?!

Ling Feiyu's post was quickly posted to the World Message Board, and she @ many of the Japanese Server and Huaxia server elite players.

The subject of the topic was: Just to remind the Japanese Server players to leave the Huaxia Server within two hours. Stay at your own risk!

And the content was: Kitasawa Hinata, you fool! Leave in two hours or cry in regret later!

Very quickly, Kitasawa Hinata and Kawaguchi Shinki all replied.

Kitasawa Hinata: Hehe, we were the only ones that made people cry. No one has made us cry before. Let me tell you something, if you don't return the Ruler of Hakai within one week, don't even think about us returning.

Kawaguchi Shinki: That's right. I've earned a few hundred thousand honor points. This is great! You want us to leave by threatening us? No way!

Ling Yun: Hey you! Don't be so arrogant! Come out and have a fight with me! Don't be a turtle!

Ling Feiyu's post did not make Kitasawa Hinata and his followers leave. Not only that, they even posted pictures of how they killed the players from the Chinese Server and humiliated the players.

Once Jiang Feng had reached the borders, he looked at the post posted by Kitasawa Hinata and his followers. He narrowed his eyes coldly.

"So, they chose not to return. Then I guess I will do what I have to do. Hakai!"

With that, Jiang Feng took out the Ruler of Hakai and sliced at an invisible barrier before him.

Slice!

A one-man tall entrance appeared between the borders after a light noise, and he flew in without hesitation.

Ding. System Prompt. You have now crossed the border and entered the Japanese Server. Please choose your identity. 1: Jiang Feng, 2: Inheritor of the Shifters. Are you a visitor or an invader?

"Inheritor of the Shifters, Invader!"

The system prompt was within his expectations. It was described in the official website that when one crosses the border, they would need to choose an identity.

Players with a guild can choose to be merchants and enter as a merchant. They can also choose to be visitors. Either way, they would not show your name.

Ding. System Prompt: Do you wish to activate the translations system?

"Yes!"

After he made his choice, there was a world announcement.

Ding. World Announcement: Warning! Warning! The Inheritor of the Shifters had crossed the border and invaded the Japanese Server. Players that have crossed over between servers can only stay for one week. Players who die within this week can choose to revive on a set waypoint or in their own server. Non-local players can ignore the limits and bans and they are allowed to kill players in cities. They can gain a large number of honor points in this way. In order to reduce this server's loss, drive them back as soon as possible!

The World Announcement rang three times, and the players from the Japanese and Huaxia servers were all shocked.

Even the players from the other servers were surprised, but they all smiled and simply sat back and relaxed, waiting for the show to start.

When Kitasawa Hinata heard the system announcement, he was still in Huaxia Server's Luofeng Valley. His face paled as he cursed, "Damn it! I didn't expect that animal to cross the border into our server!"

Kawaguchi Shinki frowned and said to him carefully, "What should we do? Should we go back?"

Slap!

As soon as Kawaguchi Shinki finished his sentence, Kitasawa Hinata slapped him so hard that he was dazed.

"What else can we do? If it wasn't because you lost the Ruler of Hakai, would we be in this situation?!" Kitasawa Hinata said angrily. "We have already announced what we are going to do, we can't go back now. Have everyone from the Kitasawa Guild hunt him down. He is only one man!"

"Yes!'

Kawaguchi Shinki nodded and quickly opened his Friend panel, trying to contact the Japanese server's largest guild to hunt down Jiang Feng.

Just when Kitasawa was gathering players in the Japanese Server to hunt down Jiang Feng, the players from the Huaxia Server became excited.

Especially those players that had been killed by Kitasawa, they were even more thrilled.

"Haha! Go, Shifters' Inheritor! Destroy the Japanese Server! Avenge us!"

"As long as you avenge us, we'll become your fan!"

"Go! We support you!"

At this time, everyone was concentrating on what Jiang Feng was going to do next.

Osaka Mountain Range, the location closest to the border.

Jiang Feng coiled his body on the Monster Cloud and headed toward Osaka City.

He only had one objective, that was to force Kitasawa Hinata and the other players to return to the server to face him there.

One week in the Japanese Server was too long for him. He still had a lot to do, and he must not waste his time here.

There were nine main cities in the Japanese Server, and Osaka City was one of the bigger main cities.

As he rode on Monster Cloud, he had reached on the plains right outside the City of Osaka.

He put away the Monster Cloud, and his gigantic body extended itself to about sixty meters in length. As he waved his tail, he looked at the players that were watching him carefully gathering outside the gates of Osaka City.

"Roar! I am the Shifters' Inheritor! Do you wish to kill me? Come!"

With that roar, he ate a low-level Polymorph Pill and shapeshifted into human form. With his Jingu Staff in hand, he waved and all his followers appeared behind him as he himself stood there on the plains and slammed the Jingu Staff on the ground.

The players looked at Jiang Feng and the bosses behind him, and they were all terrified by his aura. None dared to be the first to attack him.

Jiang Feng was not in a rush. Since Ling Feiyu had posted her post, Kitasawa Hinata would have known what he was going to do. He would definitely send someone to kill him.

Just as he had expected, a huge group of players came numbering in the tens of thousands for him. In but a moment, the huge group of players assembled before him and fought back his terrifying presence.

Kawajima Takuma was one of the two assistant guild leaders of the Kitasawa Guild. While his abilities were not bad, he was not that smart, unfortunately.

When he saw Jiang Feng and Jiang Feng's stats, he was confused. Other than seeing who he was, he could not see any of Jiang Feng's stats.

"So, you are the Shifters' Inheritor from the Huaxia Server?" Kawajima Takuma said, "No matter how powerful you are, do you think it's possible to defeat us?"

"Then let's try! Kill them all!"

Jiang Feng said coldly, then rushed toward Kawajima Takuma.

Kawajima Takuma was indeed skilled. He used a skill, and he disappeared into thin air, only to reappear among the players.

"Go!" Kawajima Takuma yelled out, and ten thousand players rushed toward Jiang Feng and his followers.

"Dragon Howl! Tornado! Slam of Mount Tai! Tiger Roar!"

He went toward the army of ten thousand and used all of his damaging skills.

After he used Dragon Howl, all the players within ten meters in front of him were all stunned in place.

Next, a tornado appeared and threw them all up into the air. It did not even take five seconds before killing them all and the loot on the ground quickly became a small hill.

Next, a giant mountain peak came crashing down from the sky, killing many of the players in one fell swoop.

Finally, he ended it with the Tiger Howl. A beam of light came out from his mouth, and as the beam expanded and collided into the players, all the players other than warriors with high HPs within the area of effect were instantly slain. They could not even take one single hit.

"The Dao of Man!"

Next, he yelled out as his Jingu Staff became a sword and he rushed into the masses of players.

Heifeng, Yanhu, Thunderclap Mantis, and the other bosses also pounced onto the groups of players, using skills after skills, causing untellable damage.

"Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao..."

One player would fall onto the ground whenever he said the word Dao. His figure tumbled past players again and again, and his white garb and silver hair was slowly covered in blood.

Whoosh!

At this time, thousands of skills came crashing down on him.

"Blink!"

With a blink, he blinked away from all the skills. He waved his sword and lights came slashing out, killing some of the players that approached him with machetes.

In but an instant, thousands of players had been killed by his followers and him.

It could be said that wherever he pointed his sword, thousands of players would die!

"Kawajima Takuma, ask Kitasawa Hinata if he would retreat!" Jiang Feng roared at Kawajima Takuma who was at the back as he evaded an enemy's skill and killed an enemy.

He looked at the blood-soaked Jiang Feng whose eyes were turning even redder, and he could feel his heart skip a beat. His face paled, and he sent a message to Kitasawa Hinata.

When Kitasawa Hinata saw the message, he frowned and replied, "If he returns the Ruler of Hakai, then we would retreat!"

Ding. System Prompt: You have entered a Berserk state. Attack and Movement Speed increased by 100%.

"Kill them all!"

When He heard Kawajima Takuma's reply, he became even more enraged. With a howl, he used the skill Kill. He was releasing even more blades of light, and his movement speed became even faster. He was passing through players like a glint of light, and every time he did that a large group of players would fall.

In but a short moment, the loot on the ground was slowly becoming like a small hill.

"Retreat or not?!" Jiang Feng asked again.

"If you give us back the Ruler of Hakai, we would retreat!" Kawajima Takuma replied.

Jiang Feng continued to kill, but no one could approach him.

After killing about another thousand players, Kawajima Takuma's face became even paler and he kept on communicating with Kitasawa Hinata.

"Retreat or not!" Jiang Feng asked again.

"Give... give back the Ruler of Hakai, and we will retreat!" Kawajima Takuma's words had almost no weight behind it.

"Fine! Jingu Staff, grow! And grow some more!"

Jiang Feng was completely infuriated. He summoned his Monster Cloud and took it into the air. His sword once again returned into the form of the Jingu Staff, and with a roar, the Jingu Staff grew as per his command!

"Come!" When the Jingu Staff was around fifty meters, he clasped it with both his arms and picked it up, then smashed it at the players.

Boom!

With one slam, the entire earth shook as countless players were injured and died.

Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching Level 49. You have received 3 free attribute points.

Ding. System Prompt: Due to your heavy resentment, you have entered a state of Slaughter. During Slaughter, your consciousness shall fall into a deep sleep and slaughter reflexively. All stats increased by 100%. Once the Slaughter state has ended, level -2 and you shall become fatigued. Duration of 48 hours.

"Kill!"

When Jiang Feng entered the Slaughter State, he used what consciousness he had left and picked up all his followers and the items dropped on the ground.

The only reason he did that was that he was worried he would enter the state of Indifference. Once in the state of Indifference and if he would as Yan Chixia said, lose all emotions and consciousness, then he would even kill his followers.

As his movement speed and attack increased once again, the gigantic Jingu Staff was being swung continuously. As the staff was flourished, groups of players instantly dropped to the ground.

Chapter 157: Second Game Update

Looking at the blood splatters in front of him, all he knew was to slaughter. He could not think of anything else.

What he did not know was that he was not invincible.

Even if his stats had been increased by 100%, some of the players had skills that could deal fixed damage or pierce through his defenses.

Without his followers, all of the players would aim at him alone. With Kawajima Takuma's leadership, his HPs were continuously decreasing.

His 200,000 worth of HPs would be depleted soon.

Unfortunately, all heh knew now was that he had to slaughter and kill. He was completely ignoring his HPs.

But what he did not know was that after Kitasawa Hinata saw his condition before entering the Slaughter status through the video that Kawajima Takuma sent him, he had been thinking of retreating.

Inside the Luofeng Valley in Huaxia Server, Kitasawa Hinata was hesitating if he should retreat after looking at the video that Kawajima Takuma had recorded and sent to him.

"Damn it! I never expected the Shifters' Inheritor to be so powerful! Especially to the point of being undefeatable with his boss followers even when facing 10,000 players!"

"What should we do? Should we retreat? We have already lost around 4,000 players. If he were to use the kite technique, who could be his match?" The Japanese Server Spirits' Inheritor Hanai Mamoru said.

"Damn it, delete the post. All of you retreat first. As long as we can kill him, maybe we could make him drop the Ruler of Hakai!"Kitasawa said to Hanai Mamoru.

"Alright, we will return now!"

They were really afraid this time.

Jiang Feng could face their army head-on and remain undefeated. If he were to kill them, retreat, and come back again, many of their players would drop in levels. Maybe some of them would even develop PTSD when facing Jiang Feng again.

If that were the case, then the Japanese Server would lose a lot because of the invasion.

One week later, even after they had killed all the players from Huaxia Server, they would be forced to return.

However, Jiang Feng was different. He had the Ruler of Hakai. He could keep on coming back to kill them. That would be extremely problematic for them.

When the thought that Jiang Feng would raid the Japanese Server every week crossed his mind, Kitasawa Hinata was terrified!

When Kawajima Takuma received Kitasawa Hinata's message and looked at Jiang Feng's HPs, he did not tell Jiang Feng about the latest news.

That was because he noticed that Jiang Feng had lost control of himself, and they would be able to kill him soon.

"Is this the weakness of the Shifters' Inheritor?" Kawajima Takuma was indeed quite capable and saw through Jiang Feng's weakness just like that.

Originally, monsters did not have high intellect. Some highly intelligent monsters, once they had started killing, would lose control as the Shifters' Bloodline within them would take over and enter the Berserk, Slaughter, and Indifference statuses.

It would be difficult for other players or races to activate these three statuses because they did not have any Shifter bloodline within them.

Perhaps this was another setting that the game had given to the Shifters.

At this time, two world announcements made Kawajima Takuma grit his teeth.

Ding. World Announcement: Congratulations to the American Server player Johns for reaching level 50. As he is the first player to reach level 50, he would receive one level 50 Yellow-Gold equipment, 10,000gp, and 1,000 World Renown.

Ding. World Announcement. As a player has reached level 50, the game shall also be updated. The time the update will take is 72 hours. To prevent all players from any loss, please log out within 1 minute. Please check the official website to read about the updated content. Wish you all a pleasant game!

The two world announcements woke Jiang Feng up.

Looking at the 40,000 HPs he had left, he was shocked.

He quickly retreated with the Monster Cloud and used a Large Recovery pill, recovering some of his health.

He then looked at the ground. The earth was soaked in red, and there were only about three thousand players left of the 10,000 that were sent against him. The ground was once again filled with loot.

Seeing that, he quickly took out the Qiankun Gourd and took in all the items on the ground.

"Whew. Luckily the World Announcement's voice woke me up. If not, I would really die in this place. Looks like it's impossible for me to solo 10,000 players at this stage!"

He had managed to kill tens of thousands of players during the siege. The main reason was that he had teammates and followers. Not to mention his stats far surpassed the players, and that was why he was that strong.

At this stage, many of the players had changed their classes a second time. As they completed their equipment set, they had many more ways to deal damage. Other than his HPs, their other stats were not that different than his.

He was too arrogant to solo that many people.

"Kitasawa Hinata is really a patient man. He didn't come back even in that situation. Whatever, I need to go back first. They would be sent back after the game has been updated anyway."

He looked at Kawajima Takuma, and then looked at the bloodied battleground. He had his vengeance, and he would not be able to continue the battle because of the game update. Now that his Slaughter condition was slowly expiring, he did not continue the battle as he would enter a state of weakness. He was preparing to retreat.

"No..."

At this time, fatigue swept over him as he felt his body became especially weak.

Ding. System Prompt: Slaughter status expired. Level -2. Your spirit is now in a weakened state. Duration of 48 hours.

Jiang Feng's face became pale as he left quickly.

After leaving the aggro zone, he used the Town Portal Skill and returned to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.

The moment he reached the Ancient City, his sight darkened and he was forced to logout.

In his wide bedroom, Jiang Feng took out the earring the size of his thumb and put it aside. He then massaged his stiff neck by moving it a bit.

Crack!

When he was moving it, he could hear his bones popping.

"Whew... I wonder if the casket-type terminals for players are ready. Using the earring terminal and lying on the bed is making my entire body stiff," He mumbled to himself and drank all the tea in a teacup that he had prepared earlier.

"Hm? I don't feel that tired? Maybe the siege last time was really too tiring?"

When he was forced to logout after entering the Slaughter status this time, he did not feel fatigued at all and was still feeling quite spirited. He felt a bit strange.

He remembered that he slept for two days straight after the siege.

"Maybe it was just me. The condition from the game can't affect me in reality. Maybe I was stressed out during those few days."

He moved his shoulders for a bit, then walked toward the computer on the desk. He was going to check about the new content in the new update.

He bought the computer when he bought the visitor's game terminal for his father.

When he was having dinner with him yesterday, he heard from his dad that he had been fishing in the game every day. He even managed to catch a Golden Fish and sold it for around 300, and it made him overjoyed. Other than training his body and jogging in the morning, he now spent most of his time in the game terminal, looking at the scenic views and fishing.

He switched on the computer and looked at the game's official website to see what the new updates were.

Divine Dominion Second Update New Content: Five

Yue Lao Event

Each steward of a guild may accept the Yue Lao Quest. Once Yue Lao's quest has been completed, the steward may invite Yue Lao to visit your city for one month. Within this month, any time Yue Lao issues a Marriage Certificate, the city will spawn fireworks and candies. Any time the firework is spawned, all players within the firework's radius will receive a certain amount of experience points. The candies will also give status buffs.

ol start="2″

Marriage System

When players have reached level 50, they can form a party with a member of the opposite gender and fight monsters to gain Support Points. Players can also buy each other Roses from the system to increase Support Points. Once Support Points have reached 10,000, players may approach Yue Lao to complete a Couple Quest. Once the quest has been completed, they would gain the title of Husband and Wife.

Husband and Wife pairing has a 10% increase in experience gained. As the Support Points between Husband and Wife increases, the higher the chance of awakening to the Husband and Wife Dual Technique.

Introducing the Seventh Base Class, Summoner

The Summoner Class is an arcane spellcasting class that can summon two pets to fight. Available to arcane spellcasters during their second class change at the class change hall and resetting their stats.

ol start="5″

War for Resources

As the bigger guilds have built their own cities, the resources close by to the cities have become scarce. Guilds cannow claim resources for themselves by putting up a flag for 3 hours in front of a mine or a forest that produces wood. If the flag has not been removed within that duration, they will own that resource for one week!

Players who are not part of a guild would have their own resources that guilds would not be able to claim. Members that are part of a guild would not be able to mine these resources as well!

Resources near the border of Servers could also be claimed by guilds from both countries. Guilds could enter such islands but would not be able to enter the server that belongs to another country.

Other than the game's five major updates, we have also made some little tweaks to the game. Players should experience them within the game. We wish everyone a pleasant gaming experience!

"Hm? The update this time is quite interesting. But it's all about the competition between guilds." Jiang Feng said with a smile as he looked at the new content.

Both the Yue Lao event and the War for Resources were a competition between guilds, there would be plenty of battles then.

The new base class was just so-so for those who were inheritors since inheritors all had their own followers.

However, it was a very powerful class among normal players. Most players could only summon one pet to battle for them.

If a summoner could summon two powerful pets to fight for them, their power could not be overlooked, especially if they knew how to support them with their spell-casting skills.

It was also in his expectations that the Barbaric Giants event had ended. As the event had already sent out many powerful pets. Not to mention that with the increase in success rate for the Capture skill it meant that the event was no longer needed.

As for the marriage system, Jiang Feng felt that it was an interesting addition.

What interested him the most was the Woohoo system. It would allow them to transfer extra experience points to each other, allowing the player at the lower levels to quickly increase their levels.

What was even more powerful was that they could use this system to teach skills to each other.

It could be said that this was the fastest way to become stronger for the other half.

Chapter 158: Rat? Fox? The Tongue of the Beast?

After he had looked at the second update for the game, Jiang Feng did not immediately log out of the website. Instead, he opened the World Message Board and started reading.

When he opened the World Message Board, he saw quite a few posts discussing about him.

It was the hottest post at the moment.

Inside was him fighting in the Japanese Server.

The video was sent by someone anonymously, and from the angle, it was from Osaka City. It had also been zoomed in, and it was recorded very clearly.

It should have been sent by a Chinese from the Japanese Server. The Japanese Players would not do something that would ruin their reputation like that.

"Um... this is me? Am I that great?"

As the person under discussion, even Jiang Feng himself was shocked after seeing the post.

He saw a bloodied man killing thousands within half an hour, and he was shocked.

Especially the few times when he had evaded thousands of attacks using Blink, it was so beautifully done many still could not believe their eyes.

As the Japanese Players were killed and the players were trembling, it angered the Japanese Players. All of them posted requests for the post to be removed.

Huaxia Player 1: "Remove? Are you joking? This was posted by someone from your side! You want us to remove this? Are you joking?"

Huaxia Player 2: "The Shifters' Inheritor is so handsome! If he isn't an NPC, I would like to marry him!"

American Server: Hm? Haha, so that's where the Huaxia Server's Shifters' Inheritor's weakness is. I understand now!

As he scrolled down, Jiang Feng was angered.

While the video did force the Japanese Players' arrogance down a notch, it also exposed his weakness.

That was the Slaughter status!

When he was in the Slaughter Status, he would lose control of himself. Due to his anger, he would only focus on the killing, but he would not think of healing his HPs. But once he had recovered from this status, he would be severely weakened!

If they wanted to kill him, all they needed to do was to infuriate him, then make him regain his awareness. Then, he would definitely be dead.

Of course, using Capture to stall him would no longer be possible. His powers were much stronger than normal players, so Capture was no longer useful against him unless it was used by a player with a similar level of power to him.

That meant that he only had one critical weakness, and that was the Slaughter status. It was also the critical weakness of the entire Shifters' race.

"Looks like when I go back online, I should ask Uncle Hua or Yan Chixia if they have any ways of solving this," Jiang Feng mumbled to himself. "While I do become stronger when I'm in the Slaughter status, if all I do is to attack endlessly, then getting killed is just a matter of time."

Once his awareness had been dampened, he could only react according to his basic instincts. The word "change" would no longer be in his dictionary.

Another analogy was like when someone was on a bicycle. All he knew was to wait at the red light, and move at the green light, and move from point A to point B. However, he had no ability to avoid anything on the road. If there was a car in front of him, he would crash into it automatically.

It worked similarly in the game. Once he was in the Slaughter status, all he knew was to kill according to his instincts. He would not know that he could use skills to dodge skills, and he could be easily killed that way.

Just like previously. If it was not because of the World Announcement, he would have been killed then.

If he was affected by the Status effect, he was still somewhat aware of his surroundings. That was why he could wake up after being interrupted, despite falling into the Weakened status.

As for the Indifference status. His guess was that he would have no awareness or emotion left at all. He would wholly act according to his instincts and would kill even his own party members or allies. It was the most terrifying condition of all.

"Whew... While the Shifters' Bloodline has made me stronger, it gave me such a lethal weakness. While the game isn't fair, it's still mostly balanced. The stronger you are, the more prominent your weakness is."

Jiang Feng heaved a heavy sigh and shook his head.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, there was a loud scream coming from outside.

When Jiang Feng heard the scream, he did not continue browsing the message board and instead headed outside of his house.

His house was by the side of a neglected hill, and the scream came from behind the house.

He quickly ran toward the back of his home and found Su Qing lying on the ground.

Su Qing's face paled as her body trembled. Her leg seemed to have been bitten by something, a piece of meat was almost pulled off as blood continued to bleed from the wound.

Not far away, Jiang Feng saw a white fox lying on the ground as well. Its leg had multiple wounds and blood was also flowing from them to the point where the blood had dyed its white fur red. It seemed to be in pain and could only let out weak cries.

"Su Qing, what happened?"

Seeing the injured girl and the injured fox, he frowned as he asked Su Qing what had happened.

"It's a rat... a very, very big rat!"

Su Qing's mouth trembled as she pointed toward the top of the hill.

"Hm? Rat?"

Jiang Feng carried Su Qing and the white fox.

He was worried about his father's safety. He then brought his father, who was reading after he had logged out from the game, and headed toward the street in front of his house.

Luckily, it was quite common for trucks delivering animals into the city to pass by that area. He gave the driver two hundred, and he happily drove them into the city.

As it was a truck carrying animals, there were no places left for them in the front. He held Su Qing and the fox as he sat behind the truck.

The truck was carrying pigs. He supposed that the driver was delivering them into the city to be butchered.

After they had gotten onto the truck, he then asked how Su Qing was attacked.

She then told him that she heard a blood-curdling scream when she was planting some vegetables by the house. She then ran over to see what happened.

She did not expect to see a giant black rat fighting with a fox behind the house, and the fox had been bitten in multiple places.

She took a shovel with her, wanting to scare the giant black rat. But it was not scared at all, and instead chomped her leg, as if wanting to eat her flesh.

Reflexively, she raised the shovel and violently smashed the giant rat with it.

The giant rat then escaped after suffering heavy damage.

When she had finished explaining, Su Qing's face became even paler. Jiang Feng saw that the blood flowing from her leg was slowly becoming darker in color. He knew that she had been poisoned, and asked the driver to step on it.

He finally knew why people said that the house was inhabited by demons and that people had died there.

That demon was, in fact, a giant black rat.

He guessed that the rat must have eaten something to make it mutate.

"Let... let me go home... My children... are still waiting for me..."

At this time, Jiang Feng looked at the fox that he was carrying, and his mouth gaped in shock. Did he just comprehend what the fox was saying?

But he was not in the game, how could he have understood the fox's speech?

'Did I bring my in-game skill of understanding the Tongues of the Beast back into the real world? That shouldn't be possible!'

'That's right when I picked up the game terminal three months ago, I should have been killed when a car rammed into me. A voice saying something about binding the Monster Transmutation System entered my mind... Also, I was obviously dead, but I was revived, and the car was completely fine... Was this... all because of the Monster Transmutation System?"

When the thought crossed his mind, he could not continue his train of thoughts anymore.

It was too unbelievable, and he could not accept it in such a short time.

"Don't worry, that rat was hurt. It wouldn't attack your children anymore. I will send you to the hospital. Tell me where they are, and I will save your children." Regardless, he had to save the fox first. As for whether the Monster Transmutation System could be used in the real world, it would be a research topic for another day.

"Thank you, my children are..."

After the weakened fox had told him where its children were, it fainted.

When his father and Su Qing saw him talking to a fox, they all looked at him puzzled.

Chapter 159: So, We Meet Again

Jiang Feng's home was not very far from the city.

It took them less than twenty minutes to reach the city.

After he had reached the city, he then split up with his father and Su Qing.

He had his father bring Su Qing to the hospital while he went to the veterinary.

"Yi Meng Chong" was a private veterinary clinic. It was not large and it took him a long while before he managed to find one.

After he entered, he saw a woman wearing a uniform feeding some pets that were within the cages.

"Doctor, can you please treat it?"

He looked around the inside of the veterinary clinic. Despite its size, it was only staffed by one woman. Perhaps all the other vets were out for lunch, so he took the fox to her.

She turned and looked at Jiang Feng. When she saw the bloody fox in his hand, she was stunned. "A fox? How did it suffer such heavy injuries?"

"Bitten by another animal. Can you take a look?" Jiang Feng told the woman quickly.

"Alright, leave it to me. Wait outside," She nodded with a frown and took it into one the wards.

The fox's injuries were quite severe, and he was not sure if the vet could save it.

If they could, it was a blessing. If they could not, he did his best.

He took out his mobile and called his father. He was relieved when he heard that Su Qing was currently being vaccinated and having her wound stitched up.

He heard from his father that it was not very poisonous, but her wound was infected. She would be fine after getting vaccinated, stitched up, and a few days' worths of drips.

He put away his phone, and then tried to use the Monster Transmutation System in the real world since he was getting quite bored from all the waiting.

"Monster Transmutation System!" He called out, but nothing happened.

He tried calling it in his mind, but nothing happened as well.

"Maybe other than the Tongue of the Beast, the Monster Transmutation System itself can't be used in the real world?" Jiang Feng mumbled to himself and felt that his hypothesis was probably true. Either that, or he did not activate the system correctly.

He gave it some thought, but he stopped thinking about it when he could not find an answer to it. He took out his mobile, and then browsed Weibo and the Message Board, reading the news on Divine Dominion.

"I'm hungry... I'm hungry... I want to go home, I don't want to stay here."

After browsing the web for a while, he looked at the cage in front of him. A poodle was clawing at the cage and barking, its eyes showing sadness.

Seeing that, he went over with interest and said to the poodle with a smile, "Little poodle, do you understand me?"

The poodle stopped scratching at the cage, then it looked at him with its eyes, "I'm not called little poodle! I'm called the Shifters' Inheritor!"

"Pfft..."

Jiang Feng almost vomited blood.

'Damn. Is the poodle's master a fan of mine? Or the person has something against me?'

Once he heard that the poodle was called the Shifters' Inheritor, he was speechless. But he could at least tell that the poodle's master was a player from the Divine Dominion.

Jiang Feng found the fact that he could speak with animals in the real world to be very fascinating. He pulled a chair over and sat in front of the poodle, and he asked, "Shifters' Inheritor, huh? That's great. What's the name of your master?"

The poodle then barked at him again, "I call my master mommy."

"Cough..."

Jiang Feng was about to have another bout of blood vomiting. He felt that he had been taken advantage of.

"Bow-wow! I'm hungry..."

Looking at the sad poodle, he looked around and found some dog food. He then fed them to the poodle.

When it saw the dog food, it barked at him excitedly and then started eating them.

"I want some too!"

"I want some too!"

When they saw that the poodle was given food, all the other animals that had not been fed started a ruckus.

Jiang Feng, caught in the middle of it, had no choice but to help the vet to continue feeding the animals.

After he had finished feeding them, Jiang Feng saw the door to the ward open up, and the female vet walked out. She removed her mask and quickly walked over to Jiang Feng with anger, she extended her hand and was about to slap him.

Jiang Feng stopped the vet's hand in the air, and said angrily, "What are you doing? Stop it!"

She then screamed, "What kind of a master are you? Do you know that your pet has thirteen injuries and is malnourished? Since you don't love it, and can't take care of it, then don't keep it! If you want to be its master, then you have to bear full responsibility for it!"

As she screamed, she started to cry and squatted down as her tears started to flow, "I'm sorry... I love these pets, that was why I chose this occupation. But after I became a vet, all I see are pets that are dying and suffering, not the ones in joy. And I feel bad about that..."

Sigh...

These were real doctors!

She liked pets, so she became a vet to heal the injuries of animals. But she would see the pain and death of all the pets. It must have been quite a shock. However, she had to help the pets, to heal them and end their suffering. No wonder she was so angry just now.

When he understood her motive, he was no longer angry at her. Instead, he took a tissue paper from the counter and gave it to her, and said, "That fox isn't my pet. I found it on a hill behind my house. It was already like that when I saw it, that was why I came here with it so that you could help it."

"It's not your pet?" The vet wiped her tears and stood up.

"No." Jiang Feng shook his head.

He then looked at her closely and realized that she was quite pretty. The name tag on her chest read "Song Xi."

"I'm sorry. Just now, I was..."

"It's fine. How's the fox? Can you save it?" Jiang Feng shook his head and asked her.

Song Xi then said, "I've stabilized it, but its condition is still critical. I would need to monitor and treat it for quite some time."

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Alright. I'm counting on you."

He then paid for the treatment, left his contact details, and left.

He was going to the hospital to check up on Su Qing, then go home and rescue the fox's cubs.

Creak!

Just as he had reached the exit of the clinic, he saw a man and woman enter.

"Sis Hua, the Tibetan Mastiff that I have is a pure breed. I spent 5,000,000 on it. I'll give the Tibetan Mastiff to you to offset half my debt. As for the other half, I hope that you would give me one year. I promise that I'll pay all of it back to you with interest in one year!"

"You promise? Zheng Tao, I thought that you are actually quite rich since you went to build a city in the game. If you want to build a city, that's your problem. But why the hell did you offend so many people? How many times have I helped you buy the Guild-Building Order? You've even sold your hotel! After spending so much money, did you manage to build that base of yours? You're owing so much money, your promise is worth nothing!"

The two that came in were indeed the slum's richest man and Jiang Feng's enemy, Zheng Tao, and the beautiful woman that he had seen once at the bar, Sis Hua.

"Sis Hua, you know about it too. After the Divine Dominion opened its door for business, no one has been coming to the bar. Since you can do that in the game, who wants to go to the bar anymore. I... I'm out of options, okay?" Zheng Tao said as he gave Sis Hua a frustrated smile.

Sis Hua was wearing a red Cheongsam that accentuated her perfect figure. She had a limited edition bag slung on her arm, and she said, "Stop giving me nonsense. I'll take a look at your Mastiff. If its breed is to my liking, I'll give you one month. If you can't pay me back in one month, then you will have to scram!"

Zheng Tao had been entertaining Sis Hua the whole day and he did not even see Jiang Feng's cold smile.

Jiang Feng understood what happened by listening from the sidelines. Because of Divine Dominion, the businesses of his bar and hotel have both been affected. With no business and the loss that he had incurred, he had decided to recruit people to enter the game to build his own guild as he had already discovered the business potential in the game. Unfortunately, he did not have the power in the game, and he seemed to have offended some other guilds causing all his attempts in building a base and a city to fail, and incurring even more losses.

His guess was that he had borrowed a great sum of money from Sis Hua. Perhaps Sis Hua was someone that adored dogs or hounds and he wanted to use a purebred Tibetan Mastiff to offset his debt.

A 5,000,000 Tibetan Mastiff! Jiang Feng had never seen one and had never seen Zheng Tao bring it out. He had only heard of it once, and he wanted to give it a good look!

As for why the Tibetan Mastiff would be here, he did not need to think twice to know that it was sick.

'I did say I would pay that slap back eventually!' Jiang Feng's lip curled as he thought to himself, looking at Zheng Tao currying favor with Sis Hua.

Chapter 160: Returning that Slap

"Sis Hua, that Tibetan Mastiff is a pure breed! It's a Tibetan Mastiff King that I got from Tibet! So, give me some more time!" Zheng Tao said as he was currying favor with Sis Hua while wiping off the cold sweat from his forehead every once in a while.

"Hm?"

Sis Hua's eyes were no longer on Zheng Tao. As she was walking toward the counter, she saw Jiang Feng who was smiling.

She remembered the young man. She saw him once at the bar. The way he paid money surprised her and made her slightly interested in him.

Seeing that Sis Hua was no longer paying attention to him, he turned to where she was looking and looked at where Jiang Feng was standing.

When he saw Jiang Feng, he frowned and said, "Hey, poor kid! What are you doing here?"

Jiang Feng shrugged and sneered, "It's none of your business what I'm doing here. Yet you want me to report to you? Who the hell are you?"

After being sneered at by Jiang Feng, Zheng Tao approached him as his flabby body shook. With anger, he grabbed Jiang Feng's collar and said, "You dare talk to me like that? Even If I'm not as influential as before, I'm still not someone that you can cross!"

"You better take your hands off me, or you'd regret your actions today!" Jiang Feng said with a smile as he looked at Zheng Tao with his head lowered.

"Regret? Hehe, how the hell are you going to make me regret?!" Zheng Tao scoffed.

Jiang Feng did not respond to him, and instead turned to Song Xi and said, "Can I use your computer?"

Song Xi frowned as he looked at Zheng Tao, her dislike of him was quite obvious. Something must have happened between her and Zheng Tao in the past.

When she heard Jiang Feng's request, she nodded in agreement.

Sis Hua folded her hands and took a seat with a smile as she looked at how things were unfolding without saying anything.

Jiang Feng walked toward the computer on the counter and accessed Divine Dominion's official website. Using his I.D., password, and mobile authentication, he logged into his game's account.

Of course, he could not show this to anyone, so he covered the screen.

He then went into his account's management panel and looked for the information on the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor under his asset. He then took out ten million from the Ancient City's capital into his bank account.

While the game was being updated, he could still manage his assets. There was a fine print in the update mentioning that it would not interrupt the management of the capital used to manage cities and the user's money.

This was mainly done so that merchants from within the game or players that needed money could easily withdraw their money as needed.

It was convenient indeed!

After the Ancient Capital was opened to the outsiders, the profits from the larger shops, the selling of houses and shops, as well as the renting of houses and shops had helped him earn around twenty million.

Of course, the money was only enough to expand the entire Ancient City.

The reason that he took the money out was for him to brag.

Ding!

His mobile received a text and it was about the transfer being completed.

When he looked at the text, he smiled. He then logged out and closed the web page, walking toward Zheng Tao.

"You didn't have enough cash, right? Come on, kneel! Maybe I will consider lending you some?!" He handed his mobile to Zheng Tao, and it showed the message about the transfer on his screen.

"Ten... ten million?! How is it possible for someone so poor like you to have so much money?!"

Zheng Tao was someone experienced and had seen many messages from banks. He could determine if a message was real or fake. When he saw that Jiang Feng's account had ten million and a few dozen thousands behind it, he was shocked.

He added some cash into his bank account quite some time ago, after the banking charges, his account had that much money in them.

"Do you know that there's something called lottery in this world?" Jiang Feng smiled.

"You won the lottery!"

Seeing Jiang Feng's smile and the message on his mobile, only winning the lottery could explain why Jiang Feng had that much money. Zheng Tao felt like he had met his savior, and knelt in front of Jiang Feng, throwing all his dignity away and said, "Brother Feng, Uncle Feng, I beg you. Can you lend me the money? When I have a return from my investment, I'd give you 20% interest... No, 30%, how does that sound?"

Zheng Tao was really running out of options. In two months, the bar and hotel had almost lost 10,000,000.

The bar in the city and the locations where he built his hotels were all rented by him, and he could not sell them. Even if he could, hotels in the slums were not worth much, and could not cover his losses.

If he included the ten million that he had invested into the game, the five million that he loaned from the bank, and the six million that he borrowed from Sis Hua, it could be said that he was literally swimming in debt.

If he did not pay them back, all his assets would be repossessed by the bank and Sis Hua would not let him off that easily as well.

It could be said that his decision in building his business in Divine Dominion was a mistake. He did not have the skills or power, and could not build up his business.

Take Shen Ye as an example. Despite his bragging, other than his followers and employees, building a base and a city would have required a few million in investment. This was before including the facilities. If he were to calculate, they would need at least around thirty million.

If it were not because the Ancient City was a city that had already been built up, it would not be enough even if someone were to give Jiang Feng fifty million to complete the Ancient City.

Of course, a large investment meant a great return. Once the city had been built, as long as the buildings could be sold or rented out, the real estate within the game would all bring high profit.

That was because the buildings in the game's original cities were not for sale, and players could only buy them from player-built cities.

If only a hundred of the thirty million players were to buy his house, what he would earn would be more than enough for his own use.

Originally, Zheng Tao wanted to do the same thing. Unfortunately, he had made a few powerful enemies within the game. Every time he would buy a Guild-Building Order and spend money to build the base, they would have it destroyed. He had already lost ten million just on that. This was before including what he needed to pay his employees.

Trading had its own risks, and entrepreneurship risk was even greater. Zheng Tao wanted to bet on this but he forgot that when inside the game, the players' fists were more useful than his brain. He lost because of this.

Now, he was in a rut. He wanted to get some more money and start all over. As long as he could get another chance to restart, he could do more than just kneel. He would even agree to break his arm.

Some of those who were successful had their dignity. While some of those who were successful did not need their dignity to climb up the ladder. Zheng Tao was one of the latter.

Slap!

Jiang Feng slapped Zheng Tao on the face, and said, "I told you, I will give this slap back to you!"

Zheng Tao frowned, but quickly turned it into a smile and said, "Thank you for slapping me! As long as you are willing to lend that money to me, please, slap me a few more times!"

"Since you offered..." With that, Jiang Feng then gave him a few more extra slaps. And Zheng Tao's face had become swollen.

"Alright, I heard that you had a Tibetan Mastiff as well. Let me take a look. If I like it, I'll buy it from you!"

Jiang Feng was not someone that was completely indifferent. His hostility toward Zheng Tao came from him slapping his father. If he were to look back, he would not be able to go to university without the fifty thousand that he loaned to his father.

One of his rules in life was to be clear on who had helped him, and who had earned his resentment. Now that he had retaliated for him slapping his father, he would like to repay the favor that he owed Zheng Tao!

"Er... alright, please wait, Uncle Feng." Zheng Tao got off the floor and spoke to Song Xi, and he then entered a huge ward for animals. In a short while, a Tibetan Mastiff with its mouth chained was brought out.

The Tibetan Mastiff was black, and the fur around its feet was brown in color while the fur around its neck was a circle of red. Its fur was brilliant and reflected the sunlight. Its eyes, nose, and mouth were hanging down, making it look innocent. In truth, it was very aggressive.

When both Jiang Feng and Sis Hua saw it, their eyes beamed.

Purebred Mastiff Kings were very rare. They had strong combat capabilities and were especially aggressive. There was a reason it was called "The Eastern Divine Hound."

'This one is quite young and could be kept for quite a long time. If I buy it, not only can I use it to guard my home, I could have it remove that man-eating rat!' Jiang Feng thought to himself.

"Uncle Feng, what do you think?" Zheng Tao pulled the Tibetan Mastiff toward him and asked him flatteringly.

"Not bad. This is a very aggressive Tibetan Mastiff. Let me ask him if he's willing to follow me!" Jiang Feng said. He then approached the Tibetan Mastiff and asked, "Your master is no longer able to afford to keep you. Would you be willing to follow me?"

"Bow-wow... Alright!" The Tibetan Mastiff looked at Jiang Feng, then it was scared as if it had seen something that was extremely terrifying. It quickly barked in agreement.

Looking at the Tibetan Mastiff getting scared, Zheng Tao, Song Xi, and Sis Hua were all surprised.

The Tibetan Mastiffs were a very prideful species and had their own dignity. They would not simply obey anyone other than their masters that had raised them from a pup. The three were rightfully confused about the Tibetan Mastiff being so docile when interacting with Jiang Feng.

Seeing that the Tibetan Mastiff had agreed to him, Jiang Feng nodded. He then stood up and said to Zheng Tao, "I'll buy it from you for three million. Give me your account number if you have no complaints, and I'll transfer them to you!"

"Wait!"

At this time, someone interrupted him.
