Chapter 65: Chapter 65: System Prompt!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

[Congratulations! You have accumulated enough experience. You have leveled up to level 20!]

[You have received 5 free attribute points!]

After staying on the rocky plateau for over two hours, Ling Yi had finally reached level 20.

He had collected all the skill materials he had obtained from killing the Stone Golems and Rock Elementals. Now, his gold coins were close to two million again!

With less than 10 minutes left from his time to descend, he chose that moment to analyze his progress. So, he crossed his arms and sat cross-legged on the big rock.

'For long-range, large-scale attacks, I have [Starfall] to back me up. For close combat, I have the [Elemental Spirit Blade]. And I also have [Ice Emperor Summoned] skills whenever I need extra help. The things that I'm still lacking….'

'I still need a displacement skill, a perception skill, and a healing skill.'

What's more, the Beast King in District 87 could fly. If he wanted to defeat it, he would at least need to have a flying skill as well.

It also could be helpful for him if he has some defensive skills.

Although he already had an excellent defensive skill like the [Earth shield, it was still a support skill, which was not reliable.

Who knows what might happen in the future? Maybe his support friend decided to stop sharing this skill and look for another person that has more advantageous to work with.

Moreover, he was leveling up so quickly that his helper, "GloriousMoon", would not be able to keep up with him. He would have to change to another helper sooner or later.

The [Earth shield] could only exist for a while and could not accompany him forever.

As he thought about this, he opened the forum and typed in keywords like "the best flying skill" and "the best defense skill".

However, he found that everyone was very divided in their opinions. Some people thought that [Airborne Steps] was the best flying skill, while some thought that it was [Skywalker, and others believed that it was [Illusory Wings] was the best. Others mentioned [Crossing Clouds] was the best of them all…

And everyone had valid reasons to back up their preference.

It was the same for the other types of skills. There were no skills that were publicly acknowledged as number one.

'I don't need to worry about defense and healing, but flying skill is a must.'

He was at level 20 now.

And his attributes—

Strength 3, mana 100, agility 68, constitution 263, endurance 3.

His level 20 Ice Queen's attributes were all around 300 points, which means he can use his [Attribute Duplication] to add another 300 points to one of his attributes at any time.

With such combat power, it wouldn't be difficult for the two of them to kill the bosses of the fourth and fifth stages.

In other words, he could already fight his way to the Beast King's gate at any time!

Maybe after clearing the fourth or fifth stages tomorrow, he would be able to fight the Beast King the day after that.

And since he's already level 20, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that he would probably do the fourth and fifth stages in one go.

But that would also mean he should get a flying ability, fast!

Most Beast Kings could fly, so it would be a useful skill to have.

Unfortunately, as Ling Yi continued his research, he still couldn't find a flying skill that met his expectations.

"I'll continue looking once I'm at home."

…

When he arrived in the Main World, he first played the daily roulette draw as usual.

[Congratulations! You have received a reward from the daily wheel: System Prompt x1]

"Huh?" Ling Yi raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise appeared in his dark eyes. "It's a different reward from before."

The warm yellow lamp at the head of the bed illuminated his bedroom.

The street outside the window was dark.

He sat on the edge of the bed and opened his rucksack to check the reward he had just received.

[System Prompt (D): A prompt can be obtained by using it in a particular scene.

"Huh??" Ling Yi was at a loss when he saw the effect.

'What was a special scenario?'

'The Black Sky? A Secret Realm? Or is it something else?'

"But I only got one hint? This thing is a little useless."

He grabbed the paper in disappointment and swung it back and forth until he caught sight of its mutation potential. It was high. That quickly wiped the frown off his face.

Ling Yi still couldn't help but sigh, "Let's see what it will be,"

[Are you sure you want to mutate the System Prompt? (33 mutation points required)]

"I'm sure,"

A few seconds later, Ling Yi opened it again.

[System Prompt (D): After using it, you will receive a prompt about the target you want. It can be used three times a week.

It wasn't a significant change, but the effect was as different as heaven and earth.

"Receive any hints from the target?"

At first glance, it seemed quite powerful, but without actually trying it, he really couldn't say how effective it was.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi decided to use it to test his flying skills.

He took it out of his rucksack.

It was a light blue talisman with the character "示", which can be translated as "notify", written on it. It was about 15 cm long and 5 cm wide.

It was neither big nor small and felt rough to the touch.

The night wind blew in from the window, making people feel cold in the quiet night.

Ling Yi walked to the window and closed it. Then, he turned back to the bed, saying, "I want to know the most suitable flying skill for me."

Then he waited quietly.

1 second.

2 seconds.

At the third second, two words made of fire appeared in front of him.

[Aeolus' Call]

These words only existed for a second before they quickly vanished.

If he didn't pay attention, he would've thought he had imagined the whole thing.

"The [Aeolus' Call]? Like the Greek God of wind, Aeolus?" He muttered to himself. Then he opened his inventory and looked at one of the skills he kept in his storage.

Through the [Eyes of Truth, he saw the words again under the skill.

(Howling wind Great storm Aeolus' Call)

This was the synthesis formula for the 6-star special skill, [Howling Wind].

By combining it with the [Great Storm, he could create the skill he was hinted at.

At first, Ling Yi didn't care about this, but now that the system prompted him, his mind started to work quickly.

'[Howling Wind] is a skill that can control the wind. I don't know what the effect of the [Great Storm] has, but the [Aeolus' Call] that I'll combine will more likely be a skill that can control the wind.'

'This ability is more than just flying!'

Not only could it fly, but it could also control the wind.

Perhaps it could even help to increase his speed.

Such a skill indeed tempted Ling Yi.

'If this skill still has a high mutation potential…'

"As expected of a combination of a boss' special skill. It can't be underestimated."

Now that he had decided to cooperate with the [call of the wind god, the whereabouts of the other skill, [Great Storm, was very important.

As far as he knew, this skill was a unique skill of the level 30 secret land boss, the Wind God Butterfly.

It was the only Boss monster that would drop this skill. 𝚗𝑂𝗏𝐞𝐥𝓊𝓢𝕓.𝐂𝑶𝐦

And since it's a secret dungeon boss, it would only appear in secret dungeons.

Ling Yi couldn't help but frown when he thought about this.

'A secret realm… Looks like I'll have to go on a long journey after dawn.'

He shook his head and didn't think much about it.

He rolled over to the bed and began to rest.

…

On the fourth of June, a typical Tuesday morning, the forum exploded again with the news about the"Mysterious newcomer of District 66″.

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Disputes Over The Joint Server

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ling Yi had just finished washing up and decided to go to the living room when he heard Lin Shurou, who was sitting on the burgundy sofa, exclaiming, "Did you see the news? The team looking for the mysterious player found them this morning!"

"They've seen them!" Her watery blue eyes were wide open as she stared expectantly at him.

Ling Yi noticed that she was wearing an emerald green short-sleeved skirt.

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows and walked over unhurriedly. He sat at the side of the sofa, "Did they take a picture of them? What do they look like?"

"Well… technically, they didn't see them." Lin Shurou pursed her thin red lips and showed her white tablet in her hand to Ling Yi.

The front page of the God's Path forum was displayed.

And all the posts were all related to him.

Seeing Ling Yi's focus, Lin Shurou also said with interest, "They didn't see the newcomer's face, but they are sure that there are two people. The other one seems to be a woman. It seems that she created the ice."

Ling Yi scanned through them and realized that they were all meaningless titles.

There wasn't anything worth his attention.

The only thing he was concerned about was the discussion on the forum about the joint server.

He knew the Server.

It was a type of operation that could be done between servers.

For example, basic maps could only be combined with other basic maps, and intermediate maps could only be combined with other intermediate maps…

Though it is still a rare thing to do.

It was only when a specific organization dominated a certain area and exploited all the people there that others would take the initiative to apply to join.

However, the situation in District 66…

"Mmm…" Ling Yi thought about it seriously. He didn't think that what he did was squeezing out the room for development for the others.

He had killed the monsters in the second and third stages of the main road, but there were still many wild monsters for them to kill.

He exterminated the Boss on the main road, and it didn't affect the development of the others much.

But if they joined together, it would be more disadvantageous for the people in his district!

Just as he was thinking about this, a God's Path notification suddenly rang in his ears.

Ding~

Then, a light blue circle appeared in front of him.

When he clicked on it, a translucent blue screen popped out.

[Joint Server Application]

It has been jointly initiated by 1,000 people in the original region.

[Area Code: 25-03-20 (District 25, March, Year 20)]

[Number of people who have agreed: 1,023]

[Number of people who have disagreed: 778 ]

[Agree or Disagree: Yes No]

"This…"

Ling Yi was surprised when he saw the application.

Surprisingly, those people acted so quickly. It had only been less than half a day since they posted the news, and they had already found a suitable partner. 𝓝𝗈𝑽𝐞𝐥𝑢𝗌𝔅.𝓬𝒐𝐌

They were surprised that more than a thousand people in their district had already agreed.

He opened the forum and randomly found a few posts about joint servers. After checking the comments of other players, he finally found the reason.

[Arhan: District 25 of March is a large district that has been joined twice. The average level of the players in the area is above level 20. They have to kill monsters above level 20 to gain exp. They won't compete with us for low-level monsters. So don't worry, everyone.]

[Wang Tianze: Exactly. If we get a good result in the resource challenge after the Union, the low-level monsters will drop more resources, which will benefit us.]

These two comments were pinned and can be seen as a popular posts.

In this short period of time, it had received hundreds of millions of likes.

However, there were also some objections that were also highly praised.

[Wood_of_Forest: I'm a player from District 66. I'm firmly against joining the districts together. Initially, all 10,000 of us started together. And suddenly, 20,000 high-level players want to join us? It would be lying to say that it didn't affect anybody. We've suddenly become the lowest level in the entire region, and they can kill us with a snap of their fingers. Sure. "It doesn't affect us at all"!

Everyone in District 66, wake up. They're planning to sacrifice all of us to deal with one person]

[ScorchingSun: It wasn't easy to get to level 5. Now you want to send a large number of level 20 players to our district? Who suggested this whole thing? I disagree with it!]

[DarknessDemonFortress: Are you kidding me? Would anyone in our district agree to this? How much did you get?]

[FairyTale_Forest: If our server has an anomaly, so be it. It won't affect our leveling up anyway. It'll be over once we enter the True District!]

[…]

Some people agreed while others disagreed.

The two sides continued to argue further down the forum.

Ling Yi pressed 'No,' and the interface refreshed.

[Number of people who have agreed: 1,363]

[Number of people who have disagreed: 1,832]

The number of people who rejected the idea had already exceeded the ones who agreed!

Currently, there are 10,000 people in District 66.

God's Path would determine which side won when the number of people supporting them reached 5,000.

And because this "joint server Application" popped up in front of all the players in District 66, the numbers were changing rapidly almost every second.

[Number of people who have agreed: 1,453]

[Number of people who have disagreed: 2,834]

…

[Number of people who have agreed: 1,521 ]

[Number of people who have disagreed: 3,866]

…

[Current number of people who agreed: 1,567]

[Number of people who have disagreed: 4,966]

In the end, most players reject the Alliance's idea.

Suddenly, in front of all the District 66 players, a God's Path notification appeared once more.

[Prompt: Due to a failed union, you will not be able to merge your District 66 again in the next week!]

"That's great! It's our victory!"

"The joint zone has failed! Everyone is happy."

"Hahaha! Yes! We can focus on our own thing for this week! I'm relieved for now."

"…"

On the forums, the players of District 66 were cheering excitedly.

Compared to them, Ling Yi was much calmer.

He touched his chin and looked back and forth at the Alliance's post about the decision to join the server and the celebratory remarks of the players in District 66.

"Sh*t… Isn't this a slap in the face for the entire Alliance?" He muttered quietly to himself.

Lin Shurou, who was sitting next to him, turned her head curiously and asked, "Are you talking about the joint server?"

"Yup,"

"Wow, so that's true." Lin Shurou's little face was full of surprise, "The Alliance is an international organization that manages all the players around the world. Their decisions have always been carried out smoothly. This is the first time I've seen someone disobey them!"

"… Still. The joint server would be a disadvantage to the players in District 66. Why would they agree to it?" Ling Yi shrugged helplessly.

"But this is what the Alliance had agreed on… There's nothing we can do about it. Who would agree to let someone else destroy their own rice bowl?"

"… What I'm trying to say is that they won't accept this just like that. District 66 might be in trouble." Lin Shurou picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip.

The cup was filled with hot water. Faint steam slowly rose in front of her face.

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Secret Realm

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ling Yi wasn't worried.

In the past few days, he looked into it whenever he was free and out of paranoia. If the players from other districts wanted to affect another district, there were only two ways they could do that: to combine their servers or fight in a district war.

The Union had just failed to combine the two servers. And judging from the response today, it might fail again next week.

Which left the only other option, the district war.

However, district wars were not open to servers in the beginner maps.

Which means… If outsiders wanted to influence the players in District 66, the only way they could currently do so was to combine their servers!

Even if the entire Alliance consisted of level 80 and 90 experts, they couldn't do anything about it for now.

Ling Yi felt reassured as he recalled this information.

Suddenly, Lin Shurou released a yelp as she stared at her tablet screen. Then she quickly pointed at it, "It's here, it's here! The entire Alliance has released a new message!"

Ling Yi's gaze followed Lin Shurou's slender fingers. From the forum's front page to a new post titled "Global Player Alliance".

He taps on her tablet.

[Notice Regarding the Failure of Joint Server With District 66]

We are sorry to find that most of the players in District 66 are not willing to carry out our decision.

Considering that this was a region that had just been opened for less than a week, this was excusable.

Therefore, after repeated discussion, our group has finally decided to postpone the joint zone plan for a week.

[Announcement End]

After reading the announcement, Ling Yi and Lin Shurou looked at each other.

"This is a good thing, right?" She asked.

"No. This is obviously a 'we must be united in a week, so don't you guys be ungrateful' kind of message." He replied.

"So if District 66 rejects it again, they'll certainly be furious,"

"Hehe." Ling Yi chuckles at the thought of that scene.

However, if they were to think about it seriously, the entire Alliance wouldn't back down so easily.

Perhaps they would take some measures against the players in District 66 in the main world.

But, it wouldn't be that easy.

…

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

The chirping of the birds woke Ling Yi up from his afternoon nap.

He walked down the stairs and saw Lin Shurou watching a drama in the living room.

"I'm heading out," He said as a greeting instead.

"Alright… Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the neighboring town to do something. I'll be back in the evening."

"Be careful."

"Okay."

In the early hours of the morning, he had decided to get the [Great Storm] skill.

This skill was not available on the market, so if he wanted to obtain it, he would have to deal with the Wind God Butterfly personally.

However, this level 30 special boss only exists in basic secret realms. So, he had to go to the primary hidden realm in the neighboring town. He had heard that someone had found traces of the Wind God Butterfly there.

The so-called secret realm was just like Black Sky. It was a phenomenon that could appear anywhere in the main world at any time.

If Black Sky's appearance represented danger, then the appearance of the secret realm represented an opportunity.

They were a special space that had descended into the main world. Similar to the level of the map, they were also divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and ultimate.

In a beginner's secret realm, there would only be monsters between levels 1 to 30. So, only players below level 30 were allowed to enter.

…

Half an hour later, Ling Yi arrived by taxi at Qinghe Park in Shuimu Town.

He got out of the car and immediately saw the entrance to the secret mystic realm floating in the air a hundred meters away.

It was an oval-shaped blazing white ring of light, ten meters tall and five meters wide, floating one or two meters above the ground.

A pink, wave-like band of light around the ring of light added a dreamy, unreal look to it.

Qinghe Park is located right in the center of Shuimu Town. Every day, many people would train and play here.

When Ling Yi walked straight towards the entrance of the secret realm, the people around him all looked at him.

"Wow, he's a player too, and so young," The two little girls were conversing with each other, and they looked at Ling Yi with envy.

"Another one came. I don't know what he's here for. It's not safe in the secret realm now…"

"Who cares? We ordinary people should take care of ourselves."

Just as Ling Yi was about to jump into the realm's entrance, a white-haired old man with a walking stick on a wooden chair at the side called out to him, "Young man!"

"Yes?" He looked at the old man.

Although the white-haired old man was holding a walking stick, he looked full of energy, and his old eyes were full of light.

If somebody were to say that this old man can run a kilometer, Ling Yi wouldn't be surprised at all.

"This secret realm isn't open for entry. I've heard that many bad people have run into the city to avoid being caught." The white-haired old man shook his head and continued, "If you're not strong enough, I'd advise you not to enter,"

Ling Yi smiled. "Don't worry, old man. I know what to do,"

As he said that, he jumped in.

Seeing this, the white-haired old man could only sigh helplessly. "Another overconfident young man."

When the others saw the young man enter, they joked, "Haha, he can still jump in now, but he'll most likely come out lying down later."

"It's also possible that he just doesn't return."

"…" 𝚗𝞸𝓋ℯ𝐋𝑈𝑠𝑏.𝓬𝚘𝑀

While the other passerby continued to mock him behind his back, Ling Yi entered the white veil. It felt as if he had passed through a dry and wet curtain.

Before fully appreciating this feeling, he heard another person's voice.

"Hey, young man! Do you want a map for this secret realm?"

Ling Yi blinked his dark eyes and started to scan his surroundings.

Everything around him was covered in rich, green vegetation. The land was into lush grassland under the sun, and giant trees with great vitality grew around it, so tall that their tops could not be seen. It was for this reason that the realm was named "Emerald Forest."

The weather was warm, and the air was humid.

He could hear the birds chirping nearby and smell the fragrance of the grass on the ground.

Then on the clearing by the secret realm entrance, there was a circle of merchants who had set up stalls.

The person who had just called out to him was on his right, the person closest to him.

"I want it."

"10 gold coins per piece… A great deal, a great deal."

After the trade was completed, Ling Yi took the map and was about to leave, but the other merchants noticed how he had paid 10 gold coins without hesitation and began to shout their offers at him.

"Brother, I have some good medicine here. One more bottle is one more guarantee!"

"Do you want an escape tool? Do you want it?"

"A level 30 temporary summoning talisman, one only costs 500 gold coins! 500 gold coins!"

"…"

Ling Yi shook his head and walked straight into the forest.

The group of merchants did not mind. When they saw other players walking behind him, they shouted at them again.

It goes to be said, only level 30 or below players could enter the secret land.

Thus, Ling Yi wasn't afraid of meeting people he knew. When he entered, he didn't use anything to cover his face.

He only had one purpose for this trip.

Find the Wind God Butterfly and defeat it to obtain its [Great Storm] skill.

He could use something to cover his face if he meets other players here. That was what he initially thought.

However, when he walked to a remote part of the forest where no one was around, he ended up buying the [Faceless Mask] from the God's Path store.

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Arrived At The Right Time

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

[Faceless Mask (C): It will take effect automatically when placed in the rucksack.

[1. Prevent other units from seeing the owner's face.]

[2. The effect can be activated or deactivated on its own.]

This was something he had found in the store before he came.

It only needed to be placed in his rucksack to take effect, and it did not need to be worn by the player.

It was highly convenient.

In the beginning, Ling Yi didn't want to wear a mask. Not only will it attract some unwanted attention, but if the members of the Divine Union saw him, they would most likely come up to ask for his identity and to see his face.

It was like how sneaky, and suspicious people in a subway station were easily stopped and asked to check their ID cards.

But he had no choice now.

After spending 10,000 gold coins to buy this item, Ling Yi, as usual, mutated it.

[Faceless Mask (C): It will take effect automatically when placed in the backpack. 𝓃𝑜𝗏𝔢𝓁𝗎𝓈𝔟.𝗰𝓞𝓂

[1. Make it impossible for other units to see the owner's face, distinguish the owner's voice, or calculate the owner's figure data.]

[2. Ignore all detection effects.]

[3. The effect can be activated or deactivated.]

"Done," Ling Yi smiled when he saw the newly mutated effect.

The effect was already in line with what he wanted, and it satisfied him.

This was also his first C-grade equipment.

Among all the equipment, this level was considered to be at the intermediate level.

In an era where grade S was unheard of, and grade A was already the world's top quality, C-grade was relatively high. Even those big bosses would be envious if a mere player had an A-grade item in their arsenal.

C-grade equipment is worth millions of global dollars.

Ordinary players didn't even dare to think about it.

A C-grade item that cost around 10,000 gold coins was something that many players could afford, and its strength was not bad either.

More than 60% of the players were using items of this quality.

When Ling Yi used this item in his bag, his body slowly blurred, gradually becoming clear again.

He didn't feel any different, but if someone else saw him, they would only see his blurry face while his height and body constantly fluctuated, not leaving any room for anybody to see a clear image of him.

It was as if his entire body was in an endless dynamic change, without a fixed body shape to speak of.

Of course, this was only what the other players perceived.

In reality, Ling Yi was still the same as before. Nothing had changed.

"Alright, since I don't have to be afraid of my identity being exposed, I can act boldly now."

He picked up the map and looked at it carefully for a moment.

After making sure that the "Valley of the Wind", the place where the Wind God Butterfly once appeared, was in the northeast, he put away the map and began to move forward at full speed.

…

When Ling Yi arrived at Valley of the Wind, he was surprised to come face to face with the creature.

The beautiful three-meter-long blue butterfly was indeed in the valley!

"The Wind God Butterfly is here."

His wonderment was interrupted by a laughing bespectacled man next to him.

Ling Yi looked at him, and the refined man raised his hand, then smiled as he explained, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just couldn't help but laugh when I heard what you said."

"Did I say something wrong?" Ling Yi was curious.

"Do you see those people?" The man pointed at the people surrounding the Wind God Butterfly. "They've been setting up a formation to attract it since yesterday. It was only half a minute ago that the Wind God Butterfly finally appeared."

"So, it's not that the Wind God Butterfly is here, but that you came at such a good time."

Ling Yi's gaze followed the direction of his finger.

Only then did he see five people standing around the giant butterfly. They seemed to be a team, planning to kill it together.

Ling Yi subconsciously frowned, and a conflicted look appeared in his eyes.

The refined-looking man beside him was Gaoyu.

Although he couldn't see the face of the fellow beside him, he didn't care too much.

He thought back to the man's words and felt he was probably here for the Wind God Butterfly.

'Sh*t… since this person had such a high-level concealment technique, he must be a veteran player. Either that, or he came from a strong background. In any case, this is someone I shouldn't mess with.'

Gaoyu took a step closer to this mysterious player and poked him with his arm, "Hey, are you also here to deal with that giant butterfly?"

Even though he couldn't see the face clearly, he could roughly tell it was a man.

"Yes. Are you?" Ling Yi asked.

"No, I'm not. I'm just passing by." Gaoyu shook his head and continued, "Do you want me to give you a little help so that you can successfully snatch Wind God Butterfly from these five people?"

"What?" Ling Yi sized him up, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes. He didn't believe someone would help others for no reason, especially in a life-threatening situation.

He had to know.

In God's Path, players could only be resurrected after death by relying on the crystals in the camp.

There were no crystals in this secret realm.

It meant that one would not be resurrected again if one died here.

If this stranger helped him, he would inevitably offend those five people, which would not benefit him at all.

Gaoyu noticed the other party's suspicion and shook his head, a bitter smile on his face, "Forget it. It's fine if you don't want to. Normal people won't accept excessive help from strangers…"

"First, tell me how you plan to help me?" Ling Yi changed his mind.

Ling Yi quickly used [Eyes of Truth] to check the information about this man. He found that the latter actually had a whole set of additional skills!

[Name: Nie Gaoyu (Lv30)]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 29 (Married)]

[Talent: Heart of Justice]

[Attributes: strength 3, mana 60, agility 30, endurance 60, constitution 30]

[Skills: Poison Mist (1 Star), Light Shield (5 Star), Healing (3 Star), Blessing Speed (3 Star), Power of Prayer (6 Star), Pain Sharing (6 Star), Position Teleportation (5 Star)]

… (omitted)

'He must be a support player specially trained by some power, right?' Ling Yi guessed in his mind as he looked at the panel.

Many organizations would train some people who specialize in a particular area to form strong teams.

In most situations, this kind of team often displayed a mighty combat power far more significant than players going solo.

Two fists were no match for four.

In most cases, even if a single level 50 player encountered a complete level 30 team, they would still have to admit defeat.

This was the hope of a complete team!

However, the disadvantages of such a team were also very obvious.

Each member could not develop in all aspects by themselves, which means they will have shortcomings if they decide to work independently. Once separated, it was easy for others to find ways to restrain them…

Just as Ling Yi was trying to guess which faction Gaoyu was from, the latter also reacted and said with a smile, "I'm a support. I can give you speed and a shield. But I don't want to be discovered by them. I'm going to run away after I give you your buff."

Ling Yi has no problem with either of those conditions.

However, Ling Yi still had a fundamental question.

"Why are you helping me?"

He had seen a saying on the forum many times: "Only kind-hearted people are willing to use all their star slots to learn the skills to protect and heal others."

Ling Yi didn't deny that Gaoyu was a good person, but a good person wouldn't help a stranger like him.

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Valley Of The Wind

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

𝞰𝗈𝑣𝑬𝓵𝔲𝓈𝑩.𝑐𝑶𝗆

Upon hearing this, Gaoyu looked at the five people in the field, lifted the frame of his glasses, and said, "Do you know who those five people are?"

Ling Yi turned his head and carefully examined the five people's faces.

The more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

"Uhm… I seem to have seen them from somewhere. Wait–" Then everything suddenly just clicked. "Are they… Dark players?"

A few days ago, Lin Shurou showed him a few community group messages on her phone.

There was some information on the Dark Players' identity.

It was similar to the people below hunting the Wind God Butterfly.

"Dark player" was a general term for all players who were not righteous.

Or, simply put, "Dark Players" are wanted and illegal players.

Ling Yi wasn't sure what exactly these people had done, but they were categorized as 'criminals' by the law.

Now Gaoyu's intention seemed to be much more apparent.

'If I see someone trying to attack someone despicable, why wouldn't I lend a helping hand?'

He somewhat understood what Gaoyu meant by "I'm going to run away after I give you your buff".

When Ling Yi didn't reply, Gaoyu continued, "They are all Dark Players. I hate them. So, if you really want to deal with them, I can give you a little help."

So this guy really wanted to help.

He didn't have any other complicated or harmful intentions toward Ling Yi.

So Ling Yi nodded, "Let's go,"

A free offered help that could temporarily increase his combat power?

It would be a waste not to take it.

"Alright," Gaoyu said, determined. Then the other man stretched out his hands and pointed his palms at Ling Yi. "Three-star techniques! speed up blessing." He said softly.

In an instant, a layer of water blue special effect that looked like the reflection of waves on a deep blue lake under the sun flickered around Ling Yi's body.

The latter looked at the light that flickered for a moment before gradually disappearing. Ling Yi could not help but smile when he felt his body become lighter.

With his [Eyes of Truth, he could clearly see the effect of this skill.

[Acceleration Blessing (3 Stars): Increase the target's speed by 10% for the next 5 minutes.

It was a relatively average effect, but at least it will last long enough.

"Five-star techniques, Light Shield." Gaoyu cast a second buff on him.

After the shield skill was used up, Gaoyu turned around and was about to leave, but before he could, Ling Yi quickly asked him a question that was on his mind, "I'm really curious. I can understand why you said the name of the skill, but why do you need to mention the star grade?"

He remembered Zhao Ze shouting his star level out loud when they were fighting against each other. But since he was distracted by other things, he didn't even get the time to let his head wrap around the entire conversation until the other man left.

Now that Gaoyu mentioned his star level as well, the memories rushed back.

"Um…" Gaoyu's body froze. He turned around and scratched his face in embarrassment.

"Actually… It doesn't matter whether I mentioned it or not," He said, slightly embarrassed, "Usually… When players obtain high star skills, they will shout out the skill's star level when using them to show off."

"Don't you think it's cool to recite the eight-star techniques and nine-star techniques loudly and enjoy other people's envious gazes?"

Words escaped his brain at the simple explanation.

He was stunned for a moment, and his mind subconsciously acted out the scene.

"That's true. It would be cool." He nodded in agreement.

So it was a matter of showing off.

He thought that saying it out loud would be smoother, but….

"But doesn't your [Acceleration Blessing] only have three stars? Why say it out loud?"

"Hehe… I'm used to it."

After watching Gaoyu leave, Ling Yi looked at the fluorescent yellow light elemental shield circulating around his body.

[Shield of Light (5 Stars): Creates a shield that can last up to 10 minutes on the target. The shield can offset a certain amount of energy damage. During the shield's duration, it can slightly speed up the recovery speed of the target's physical strength. This shield can not be stacked with other shields.

This shield was one of the more common ones.

The effect was average.

"Alright, since I have a boost on acceleration and defense, all I need to worry about is the attack."

Ling Yi looked down at the five people fighting the Wind God Butterfly. He quickly thinks of a battle tactic.

First of all…

He definitely couldn't use his [Starfall]; otherwise, the world would immediately know that the mysterious newcomer from District 66 was in Shinxia Qianjiang City.

And since he had registered with the Firefly Branch in Qianjiang City before, it would be easier for them to track him.

Secondly, it would be best not to summon the Ice Queen if possible. If it were absolutely necessary, he would have to dress her up and make sure she didn't use her frosty mist.

After all, a mist that could freeze anything it touches is a rare skill to have in the world.

Therefore, it was still better not to summon her. The trouble is not worth it.

The only thing left was to use his Elemental Spirit Blade in close combat.

'I have a light and fire Elemental Spirit Blade. The only ones who have seen it before are Lin Shurou and Zhao Ze.'

'He wasn't worried about Lin Shurou telling anybody about it, and Zhao Ze… Well, the Divine Alliance won't be resurrecting him any time soon… Which means I can boldly use the Elemental Spirit Blade!'

The Divine Union released a new announcement over the past two days.

It was said that after a period of experimentation, they found that the punishment of resurrecting the wicked did not have a good deterrent effect on them.

As a result, the Divine Union canceled this measure.

They planned to adopt a more rigorous approach and were still in the discussion stage.

In short, Zhao Ze would not be resurrected by them at all.

He could freely use his dual Elemental Spirit Blade without worrying that people would associate him with the 'mysterious' player in District 66!

'I don't need to worry about the damage effect of the Elemental Spirit Blade. I already copied the agility attribute from the Ice Queen before I left, so my speed is also guaranteed.'

'Then I just need to kill them as fast as possible.'

The Wind God Butterfly was a unique boss known for its agility.

Its speed was extremely fast.

In order to catch up with it and kill it, he had explicitly duplicated the Ice Queen's agility before he left for this.

Only, he had never thought that he would use such high agility against the Dark Players first.

After confirming his strategy in his heart, Ling Yi didn't dawdle any longer and immediately ran towards the valley's center.

…

The Wind Valley was northeast of the 'Emerald Forest' secret realm.

The entire valley was not big, and its area was only about 100,000 square meters.

At the edge of the valley, in addition to some other level 20 or 30 monsters, there were many players who were watching.

They looked at the five people fighting the Wind God Butterfly in the center of the valley hundreds of meters away, with different thoughts running through their minds.

"The Wind God Butterfly's special skill, Great Storm, is an 8-star rare skill. If those people get their hands on it, Qianjiang City will be in trouble!"

"I can only hope that they didn't win." Another player sighed.

"It's the Wind God Butterfly. I didn't expect that they would really lure out such a rare boss. We must inform the Divine Alliance branch in Qianjiang City and ask them to send people over!"

The secret realm was an independent space.

If one wanted to contact people outside, they could only do so through the God Path forum's chat function.

Communication messages from the main world could not be transmitted.

While some people had informed the local Divine Union branches, others had secretly contacted other organizations.

In addition to the 8 Star Skill, Great Storm, the Wind God Butterfly could also drop other high-star skills.

It was no different from finding treasure in the rough to an organization with a large number of top powerhouses.

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: The Battle

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

But of course, it was one thing to see the treasure vault, but it was another thing to open it.

After all, only players below level 30 were allowed to enter.

After sending the information to the outside world, everyone hiding sighed again.

"The other four are fine, but that 'Rock Sky Ape' is the most troublesome."

"That's right, he's ranked 17th on the new star ranking, and I'm not even in the top 10,000… "

"I'm ranked in the 8,000, but even so, there's still a big gap between him and me…"

The new star ranking that everyone was talking about was a ranking for players below level 30 that would only appear after the players had passed the seventh day of the Novice Trial.

The higher the player's ranking was, the stronger that player was.

"17th place… Sh*t. That means he's among the top twenty strongest level 30 players worldwide. I wonder if the people from the Divine Union can defeat him…"

" No problem. The Union is an entire team!! "

"That's true. I forgot."

While these people continued to converse, someone suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted excitedly, "Quickly, look, look!! "

"Someone's charging towards them! Wow! He's so fast!"

In an instant, everybody immediately turned their heads toward the scene.

…

"One…"

"Two…"

"Three!"

Ling Yi's agility had reached 368 points. Thanks to [Accelerated Blessing, his speed had reached a terrifying level!

He held the Battle Flag with Elemental Spirit Blades in his right hand and walked through the five people.

With a light slash, he quickly knocked down three people in the blink of an eye.

"What? He's too fast!"

One of the two remaining players shouted in surprise. In the next second, the burning flag that shone like the sun smashed into his head, and he fell to the ground with just one hit!

The raging fire burned on his body, and the fallen man could not get up again.

"What the—?"

The last person's eyes widened in horror, and he took a few steps back in panic.

He stared at Ling Yi in shock and horror. His once fierce expression shows cracks of fear.

The last man standing was none other than the infamous 17th-ranked Dark Player on the New Star rankings. The player with a bounty of 1,000,000 gold coins on his head, Rock Sky Ape! 𝓝𝗈𝓋𝓔𝐋𝔲𝓈𝒷.𝗰𝑂𝗆

"Y-y-you… How can you have such terrifying speed?"

Rock Sky Ape pointed at the blurry figure in panic, wondering if this was some agility-based advanced player who had used some unknown method to enter this basic secret realm.

He himself had 120 agility points, which was already considered very high among players below level 30!

After all, it was impossible for anyone to add agility and not add other attributes.

But now…

He couldn't even see the other player's movement!

And he knew very well what that would mean…

'His agility must be at least 200 points!'

Generally speaking, when a player has only one high attribute, the player would be very weak in other aspects.

However, when Rock Sky Ape saw the burning flag in the blurry figure's hand, he knew for sure that this wasn't the case.

He had never seen such a weapon before but subconsciously thought of the well-known support technique called the "Misty Elemental Spirit Blade"…

'Is this originally a burning weapon, or is it a weapon that's attached with an Elemental Spirit Blade?'

The difference between the two was huge.

If it was the former, Rock Sky Ape felt he might have a chance of killing this guy.

However, if it was the latter…

WhileRock Sky Ape was still thinking about this question, the blurry figure rushed over again. Before he could even react, the burning flag had already been waved down.

Just as Rock Sky Ape was about to be killed by the flag, a yellow light barrier suddenly appeared in the middle and blocked the attack!

"Huh?! " Ling Yi exclaimed in surprise. 'An [Earth Shield]!?'

This solid bald man with a fierce face had the support skill [Earth Shield]!

As long as this guy is still standing, he would be able to block dozens of attacks.

The specific number of times he could block it depended on the grade of this bald guy's [Earth Shield].

In a few seconds, Rock Sky Ape took advantage of Ling Yi's shock.

Seeing that the blurry figure was right beside him, he decisively shouted in a low voice, "[Evil Aura Explosion]!"

[Evil Aura Explosion (5 Stars): Releases a wave of evil aura around the body, causing the target to fall into a negative state of dizziness and powerlessness.

In the next moment, a burst of pitch-black mist suddenly burst out from the surface of his skin into the air, and in an instant, it filled the area within a radius of several dozen meters, filling the entire place with its ominous aura.

Then, in a blink of an eye, it disappeared, and the place became clear again as if nothing had happened.

Rock Sky Ape hurriedly looked around, but to his disappointment, he couldn't see the blurry figure.

"Where did he go?!"

Just as he finished speaking–

He heard someone 'tsked' right by his ear, and the next thing he knew, the blurry player appeared and continued to slash him.

"[Evil Aura Exploding]!" Rock Sky Ape hurriedly used his skill again. He planned to use this skill to force the other player to leave.

"[Evil Aura Explosion]! [Evil Aura Explosion]! [Evil Aura Explosion]! [Evil Aura Explosion]!"

He used it several times in a row and only stopped to take a break when he felt exhausted.

"No. I can't keep doing this. I have to leave quickly." He admitted. If he continued, he would either be caught or killed once he exhausted his physical strength.

There was no other choice.

Thinking about this, Rock Sky Ape felt extremely sullen.

As an Assassin-type player who used agility to his advantage, being crushed by someone else with their agility made him feel extremely helpless.

Many of his skills were close-combat skills. This shadowless and traceless figure made it impossible for him to even think about his next move.

If everything had gone according to this original plan,his [Evil Aura Explosion] would have stunned this player, and he might have had the chance to kill him.

But he didn't expect the other party to be able to dodge this attack.

He really had no way to resist.

Thinking of this, he once again used a burst of malice to force his opponent back and hurriedly used his ever-successful escape skill.

[Underground Escape: Immediately teleport the user to a certain distance away from the designated direction; if you use it continuously within 1 minute, your stamina consumption will double.

The reason why the Divine Union never managed to catch him for so long was thanks to this "instant escape skill" and his high agility.

In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the black mist.

When the black mist dissipated, Ling Yi looked at the empty center of the valley and sighed silently.

"I didn't manage to make him stay… Ah, you know what, forget it."

He had no crowd control skills, so he couldn't do anything even if he let them escape.

Battling these five people was just the opening course.

Now…

His main target is defeating the Wind God Butterfly.

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Attack

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ling Yi turned around and looked at the big blue butterfly tens of meters away from him.

And by the looks of it, the special boss didn't seem like it was in good shape.

It was covered in a mysterious gray goo, causing it to lie on the ground, unable to move.

The Dark Players had probably cast some kind of debuff on it before he arrived.

'Now that you think about it, I never used my [Eye of Truth] on a monster before.'

Ling Yi then activated the skill on the barely moving boss.

The next second, the Wind God Butterfly's panel appeared before him.

[Name: Wind God Butterfly (lv30)]

[Type: Monster Leader]

[Attributes: strength 90, mana 270, agility 270 (current 135), endurance 90, constitution 180]

[Skills: Great Storm (8 Stars) (Special), Illusionary Body (7 Stars) (Passive), Wind Blow (5 Stars), Wind Butterfly Summoning (5 Stars), Corrosive Wind Bullet (5 Stars)]

[Current Status: Healthy. Agility Reduced. Partially Paralyzed]

Ling Yi wasn't surprised when he saw the Wind God Butterfly's stats.

The Ice Queen was initially born from the mutated Ice Spirit skill. So it was safe to assume that Boss monsters of the same level as the Ice Queen would probably have lower stats than hers.

Also, the Wind God Butterfly's skills had been researched and broadcast to the entire world. So there was nothing surprising to say about its skills.

But what caught his eye was the state of its current status.

'It's still healthy, which means its Hp is still full.'

'The 'Agility Reduced' status is probably the strategy the five players used. Since the Wind God Butterfly is known for its speed, they specifically attack it with effects that make it move slower.'

'As for 'Partial Paralyze…Is that the gray goo's effect?'

Ling Yi stared at the pitiful Wind God Butterfly on the ground with a strange expression on his face.

'Does that mean the reduced agility did not affect its other attacks?

'

'And, with the combination of paralysis, it's already lying weakly on the ground?'

'Can't believe that the Wind God Butterfly is that fragile…' Ling Yi thought, slightly disappointed.

But he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. An opportunity, still an opportunity.

He clenched the Battle Flag in his hand and rushed towards it.

With a Hp of over 200 points, his body did not feel uncomfortable at such high speeds. He was still not quite used to the strong wind blowing against his body as he ran at high speed.

It wasn't easy to open his eyes, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of wind whenever he ran.

It brought him back to the time he fought against the Wind Maestro. He remembered the "Wind Trap Talisman" he used to keep himself grounded against the onslaught of unforgiving wind, which helped him move around easier.

He didn't even think about how helpful the talisman was until he thought back to that day.

'I'll use it if I need it later…'

He was already in front of the Wind God Butterfly in less than half a second. He raised the burning flag high and then waved it down.

His strength was only 3 points, which was about the same as a non-player strength.

But it didn't matter.

He had the Elemental Spirit Blade, which was equivalent to a super electric saw. Even with a gentle swing, he could easily cut through the skin and flesh of his enemies!

And that was the truth.

Ling Yi could feel the flag's heat radiating against his face, and when he cut it through the Wind God Butterfly's wings, the monster's body suddenly trembled violently!

When the flames on the flag climbed up its green wings, it also quickly raised its head and spat out a violent green wind at Ling Yi!

The distance between the two was less than a meter. Ling Yi didn't have time to dodge.

In an instant, his abdomen felt as if a cannonball had hit it, and he felt a pain in his stomach. His entire waist bent backward by a large margin, and his body flew backward!

In just a breath's time, he had been blown two to three hundred meters away by the Wind God Butterfly's mouth!

If he hadn't stuck the flag in his hand into the ground to increase the friction, he might have been blown even further away!

"It doesn't hurt that badly…" Ling Yi comforted himself and rubbed his abdomen soothingly.

It felt like a six or seven-year-old child had punched him. He was lucky it wasn't sore.

The skill just now was obviously the Wind Blow, one of the Wind God Butterfly's powerful skills. As far as he knew, that skill did not do much damage and was mainly used to repel enemies from the user.

To avoid being blown away by the wind again, he decided to take out his leftover "Wind Trap Talisman" from his rucksack and use it.

Last time, he bought ten in a row. After using this one, he would still have eight left.

When the light blue 'dodge' word appeared and disappeared in front of him, Ling Yi smiled. He pushed his right foot against the ground, and his figure shot out again!

Without the wind's resistance pushing him back, he was even faster than before!

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Wind God Butterfly again.

He swung his burning flag at it again.

And this time, his target was its other wing.

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!

When he waved the flag down, the flames on it danced with the wind, making a heavy swishing noise.

It was as if a small sun had smashed down. When the tip of the flag hit the giant butterfly's wings, the raging flames on the flag rushed down like a flood and burned its wings.

He didn't know whether the flames had no effect on it or if the Boss had just managed to dodge his attack, but the Wind God Butterfly suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, it had shot up a hundred meters. When Ling Yi raised his head to look, it spat out green spherical energy bullets that were more than a meter in diameter at him.

"Corrosive Wind Bullet?" Ling Yi quickly dodged.

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

The corrosive wind bullets hit the ground, making a series of loud noises. There were holes of different depths strewn all over the battlefield from where they landed.

Dust flew and played by the wind, like a sandstorm slowly beginning to form.

Ling Yi furrowed his brow when he saw the flames on the Wind God Butterfly's wings had already reached his body.

'The power of my Elemental Spirit Blade is the same as my level. I'm only level 20 now, so it will take a long time to kill a level 30 Boss with it.'

'But can my physical strength last until then?'

It had only been less than two minutes since he entered the venue and started the battle.

However, if it were any other ordinary person, they would feel tired after doing high-intensity exercise for more than a minute.

Ling Yi, who only had 3 points of endurance, was the same. 𝒩𝚘𝑽𝖾𝑳𝐮𝑠𝑩.𝔠𝒪𝔪

He could already feel his body getting tired!

If it were only him and the Wind God Butterfly, he could take as long as he needed. In the worst-case scenario, he could buy some time to get some stamina potions from the store.

He knew he would be able to win eventually.

But the problem was…

A few hundred meters away from where they were fighting by the edge of the valley, he knew that many onlookers were watching the fight.

He had to end the battle quickly.

The longer he waited, the more likely new and unwanted variables would appear!

…

"Oh my gosh! Who is that guy? Even Rock Sky Ape ran away from the fight!"

"Are there other top players below level 30 in Qianjiang City?"

"Even if there was, I never heard of them."

"He's so fast! I can't even see his figure!"

"Of course, you wouldn't, idiot! Who can see that speed clearly?"

The spectating players who were a hundred meters away watched the battle and cried out in alarm.

No one would have thought that a mysterious person with a breakneck speed would appear halfway through the battle.

Not only had he easily killed four Dark Players, but he had also sent the top 17th player running.

And he was even on par with the Wind God Butterfly in a one-on-one battle!

What's even more impressive and somewhat intimidating was that he was battling a level 30 boss alone!

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Great Storm

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Who fights Boss monsters solo anyway?

Even Dark Players knew how to stick together.

It was extremely rare for a single player to attack a boss on their own like this.

Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the wind in the distance suddenly grew stronger. It was so strong that it almost knocked them down off their feet.

"The Wind God Butterfly has increased its wind power again!" One of the younger players exclaimed, but instead of fear, he was met with confusion from the more experienced players.

"That can't be right. It doesn't seem like it's just an increased wind power…"

They watched as the twenty to thirty meters high dust suddenly rose higher, reaching almost fifty to sixty meters off the ground.

Most knowledgeable players instantly ran away from the mere sight of the dust tornado without another word, leaving the others confused.

But as more and more players retreated, they finally realized what it was and reacted.

"That's no overpowered wind! It's the Great Storm!"

"The Wind God Butterfly is using its ultimate skill! Quickly run!"

The onlooking crowd immediately ran in alarm as a terrifying gust of wind erupted from the giant butterfly in the distance, spreading in all directions at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The onlookers desperately ran away. Some panic players knew they couldn't avoid it in time, so they rushed to the store to buy "Wind Shelter Talismans," but they weren't quick enough to avoid it.

The strong wind carried a huge pile of dust like a tsunami sweeping them up from the ground. It circles the air, almost like a whirlpool of dust, before gathering together, creating a massive dust storm.

The whooshing sound of the wind completely muffled the terrified screams and the players who were swept up by it quickly disappeared into the dust.

Wherever the storm touches, everything is swallowed up by the wind. The flowers and the grass were pulled up from their roots and were shredded into a thousand pieces.

Only the deeply rooted small trees could still stand on the ground, but even so, their branches and leaves had all been trimmed by the "nature's barber".

Some were even knocked down, revealing their hidden roots.

After a full minute, the storm gradually subsided.

And by that time, the originally beautiful valley was no longer in sight. In its place was a desolate valley that seemed to have just experienced a sandstorm.

It was all covered in dust.

After the storm subsided, the players that were buried in the massive pile of dirt crawled up one by one.

They coughed as they sat in the dust-filled air, their faces covered in dust. They all revealed looks of self-blame for their bad luck.

"Bah! Pei Pei!" Some player quickly spat out the dirt in his mouth.

Fortunately, they were not in the center of the battlefield, nor were they the main target of the Wind God Butterfly's attack. Otherwise, nobody would have been able to escape as quickly as they did.

In the distance, when the players who were fast enough to escape saw that the storm had subsided, most of them turned back.

"I wonder how that mysterious person is doing? Did he die?"

"Who cares!"

These people looked at the Wind God Butterfly in the distance, watching as its entire body was on fire.

The sparkle that crossed their eyes made their intention very clear.

'The Wind God Butterfly is going to die! If I go over now, we might be lucky enough to pick up some scraps!' The players thought unanimously.

With this thought in mind, the people quickened their pace, wishing they could rush to the Wind God Butterfly's side as soon as possible.

…

Ling Yi raised his head and looked at the burning Wind God Butterfly in the air.

The sight of it made him feel a little emotional.

Watching the beautiful monsters gradually die, he felt a trace of pity.

However, he relaxed, knowing that the Wind God Butterfly would respawn in this or even other secret realms again. This so-called special boss was a boss that would randomly appear in various secret lands.

It's possible that another secret realm would also have its own Wind God Butterfly appearing simultaneously with this one.

It was also possible that a new Wind God Butterfly would appear when he returned to this secret realm the next day…

Ling Yi was lost in thought when the Wind God Butterfly that was burning in the sky suddenly exploded into countless bright spots.

Thousands of light spots flickered in the sky and slowly flew toward the endless blue deep space.

Slowly and quietly, it disappeared from his field of vision.

Under the effect of the [Hardworking Bee, the items dropped by the Wind God Butterfly were automatically added to his inventory.

[You have obtained the 7-Star Skill [Illusionary Body (Passive)]

[You have acquired the 8-Star Skill [Great Storm]

[You have received the [Soul of the Wind God Butterfly]

The monsters that came out of Black Sky would not drop anything, while the monsters in the secret realm would only drop some materials and skills.

On the other hand, the monsters in God's Path will drop all kinds of materials, skills, and experiences.

Which was why he did not receive any Exp after defeating the special Boss.

It doesn't matter how many monsters they killed outside God's Path or what special method you use to receive them. You will not be able to get any Exp outside of it.

In short, he would always have to return to God's Path if he wanted to continue to level up.

'Alright. I got what I needed. Now it's time for me to go back.'

He could look at the skills later. It wasn't a good idea to linger in one place any longer. 𝒩𝐎𝓥𝓮𝗅𝓊𝑆𝑩.𝑐𝒪𝐦

Ling Yi turned his head and noticed the other players rushing over. Although he didn't understand why they dared to come close to him, he didn't want to waste time on them.

He turned around and left at full speed.

By the time the crowd arrived, the place was already empty.

"Where's that guy? I thought I saw him just now."

"Did he run away? With his speed, he probably goes invincible from how fast he's going."

"The Wind God Butterfly didn't drop anything. I didn't even see him pick it up."

"I didn't see him picking things either… No matter how fast he is, he would have stopped under the Wind God Butterfly for a while. It looks like he's really unlucky…"

"…"

…

Ling Yi turned off the effects of [Faceless Mask] and walked out of the secret realm's entrance.

Sitting on a long wooden chair in the park, he couldn't wait to check [Great Storm]'s effects.

[Great Storm (8 Stars) (Special): Creates a storm that spreads outwards and can increase wind power by consuming Hp.

"Hmm… Not bad." He muttered.

Honestly, the effect doesn't matter at the end of the day. Even if its effects were terrible, he wasn't going to learn it anyway.

He only wanted to fuse it with his other skill.

Ling Yi didn't dawdle any longer and immediately activated the skill fusion function. He then inserted the two skills, [Howling Wind] and [Great Storm].

[Confirm fusion? (This fusion will cost 100 gold coins)]

"I'm sure,"

A remarkable fusion effect appeared before his eyes, but Ling Yi wasn't in the mood to look at it.

He couldn't help but fantasize about the skill's result.

The fusion effect suddenly stopped a few seconds later, and the white mist dispersed.

[Congratulations on obtaining the 10 Star Skill [Aeolus' Call]!]

'Yes! Yes! Yes!' Ling Yi was overjoyed.

Just as he was about to open his rucksack to check out the skill's effect, a system prompt with a gilded frame that he had never seen before suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations! You are the first player to complete the great "Fusing a 10 Star Skill". A world announcement is about to be made. Please choose the name you will use for the announcement]

[ Real Name]

[ Forum Name]

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The World Announcement After 13 Years

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

"What?! " Ling Yi was stunned when he saw the notification.

'So God's Path has its own world announcement feature!?'

He had never seen anyone mention it on the forum before or heard anyone say it.

He had always assumed that all information came from other players or people whose jobs were meant to cover the big news, like the Global Weekly.

Who knew that fusing a 10 Star Skill could trigger such an event?

"I fused a 10 Star Skill!"

Although he had hypothesized that the outcome of this fusion would result in a 10 Star Skill, he couldn't help but still bulk in pleasant surprise when he was proven right.

If he could mutate it into a higher Star level, that would be even better!

Now thinking back to all the mutations he did in these past few days, the higher the Star level or quality, the higher the mutation potential it will become!

But now is the time for him to make his decision.

Looking at the 1 and 2 options in front of him, Ling Yi didn't hesitate to choose the second option.

As soon as he clicked his decision, another message popped up.

[Are you sure you want to use the forum name "01 " as a common announcement name?]

"Uh… does this mean that I'll use this name in other future announcements?" Ling Yi wondered quietly to himself.

He realized that based on his current development, it seemed like he could continue to be on the public announcements in the future.

He chose 'confirm' again.

In the next second, a clear and melodious chime resounded worldwide.

…

Ding ding ding~

It was a relatively sunny June afternoon when it rang worldwide simultaneously.

Whether it was the students who were studying in the school, the people who were working hard in the city, the generous old men in the village, or the players who were fighting monsters in the secret realm or the God's Path, they were all jolted back to their senses by the crisp bell that went straight to their ears.

"This… Don't tell me it's!"

Some of the older people were stunned for a few seconds but quickly remembered what the voice meant.

They all stopped what they were doing and looked up with anticipation and excitement, ready to hear the announcement.

"What's that sound? Did you guys hear that?"

In the school, the younger students were looking around, eager to make a move.

"I heard it, I heard it! It was so loud!"

"I heard it once when I was young. It looks like God's Path is announcing something…"

The students looked at their middle-aged teacher on the stage with anticipation.

"This is what many of you dream of triggering…" The teacher said, smiling at their eager faces.

On God's Path, some players fighting against monsters stopped fighting as soon as they heard the familiar chime.

"It's a world announcement! Someone has triggered the world announcement!"

Even though the players had different opinions racing through their minds, they were all surprised.

"Heavens! How long has it been since the last world announcement? I thought there wouldn't be another one!"

"13 years. It's been 13 years."

"A world announcement after 13 years. I'm really curious about what it's about."

"…"

Under the anticipation of countless people around the world, the world announcement finally appeared as scheduled.

Ding ~

Another ring appeared in the sky, and a line of golden text appeared in everyone's vision.

Following the appearance of this line of golden text, an emotionless monotonous voice suddenly resounded across the sky.

[World announcement: Congratulations to player "01" (Male) for successfully fusing the first 10 Star Skill!]

[Special Rewards: [Random Ancient Tablet voucher] x1, [A-grade item] [Experience pool] x1]

The seven to eight billion people worldwide all heard the robotic voice as it resonated worldwide.

Only after the voice finished reading the two lines of text did the announcement with the golden text slowly faded away.

And so did the announcement.

However, the excitement of the people around the world had just begun.

…

[You have received [Random Tablet Voucher] x1!] 𝒩𝐎𝓥𝓮𝗅𝓊𝑆𝑩.𝑐𝒪𝐦

[You have received [Experience pool (A)]!]

He watched as the information of the two God's Path notifications faded away.

Ling Yi touched his chin as he began to think out of habit.

'There's a reward for the announcement? Well, I'm in.'

The announcement's reward was a pleasant surprise for someone like him who had never seen a world announcement before.

When asked to choose his name, he thought the announcement was just a simple one.

"F*ck! Someone has triggered the world announcement!" A cry of surprise beside him caught his attention.

Ling Yi turned his head and saw a few young men in their 20s discussing excitedly as they walked by.

"Someone managed to fuse a 10 Star Skill! This is too much!"

"Yeah! Doesn't that mean whoever "01" guy is used two 10 Star Skills to make it? That's some crazy brave move!"

"Actually, I've guessed that such a thing would happen. I just don't understand why those top powerhouses never tried before." A yellow-haired young man suddenly said.

The people around were stunned by his statement, staring at him dumbfoundedly.

"Then let me ask you, why didn't you fuse them yourself?" Someone asked.

"Because I don't have any." The yellow-haired man replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Exactly. Even the top powerhouses don't have everything…"

The group of people walked further and further away, and their voices gradually disappeared.

Ling Yi also retracted his gaze and shifted his attention to the [Aeolus' Call] he had just achieved.

[Aeolus' Call (10 Stars): Obtain the ability to generate and control the wind. The user can also ride the wind and fly.

It was the only ability to control the wind.

Skills with higher stars would have higher "control rights". For example, if a person who learned [Howling Wind] and someone who knew [Aeolus' Call] were to fight for wind control within the same space, the latter would definitely win.

If both sides had [Aeolus' Call, it would be like two people fighting for a ball of marshmallow on an equal footing. Anyone had a fifty-fifty percent chance of winning.

Of course, those with higher attributes had the more significant advantage.

Ling Yi nodded indifferently when he saw the effect of the [Aeolus' Call].

'It's good enough. It's worthy of its 10 Star rating.'

Controlling the wind alone was already a 6 Star ability. But having the ability to both control the wind?and?fly, the skill is worth the 10 Star rating.

He looked down and focused on its potential for mutation.

[Aeolus' Call (10 Stars) – Mutation Potential: High]

"Yes, yes, let's go through a mutation."

[Are you sure you want to mutate the wind god's call? (48 mutation points required)]

"I'm sure." Ling Yi said with certainty.

He also looked at his remaining points when he opened the 'super mutation system' interface.

[Current Collected Distress Points: 60] [Mutation Points: 1,516]

Recently, he had occasionally absorbed other people's distress points and converted them into mutation points.

He thought it would drop below 1,400 points from all the mutations that he did, but it had unexpectedly remained above 1,500 points.

From the looks of it, if he didn't deliberately use it, he might really never use everything up.

He closed the 'Super Mutation System' interface with satisfaction. Seeing that the [Aeolus' Call] had returned to its clear state, he immediately clicked on it to check.

[Aeolus' Call (10 Stars): Gains the ability to generate and control the wind. The user will also be able to ride the wind and fly. [In addition, you have obtained the following abilities.]

1. Can sense the surrounding environment and listen to the surrounding sounds with the help of the wind.

2. Able to transform into the wind for short-distance teleportation.

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Tidying Up The Rewards

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Wind control, flight, perception, and teleportation.

This mutated [Aeolus' Call] had become a godly skill in every area possible!

'F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck…'

With the two newly added abilities, Ling Yi felt delighted with his new mutated skill.

He must admit, when he first checked [Aeolus' Call]'s effect description, he wasn't necessarily disappointed, but the thought crossed his mind that it wouldn't be a good offensive attack.

But now that short-distance teleportation had been added to the skill, he knew that this would be his god-tier technique.

The ability to sense his surroundings was also vital in any situation.

In short, these two abilities upgraded the skill!

Without any hesitation, Ling Yi immediately learned it.

He was now level 20 and had a treasure that could increase his Star Slot by 33, so he had a total of 53 Star Slots.

He had already learned [Starfall (4 Stars), [Attribute Duplication (6 Stars)[Ice Emperor Summon (10 Stars), and [True Eye (4 Stars), which used up a total of 24 Stars Slots.

This means he would still have 29 Star Slots left!

[You have successfully learned the skill [Aeolus' Call (10 Stars)]!]

when this notification flashed by, his Star Slots naturally dropped to 19.

"Hua…" Ling Yi let out a sigh of relief. He can feel the tension leaving his body.

He stretched out his right hand and tried to create a small whirlwind in his palm.

A slightly visible, small tornado appeared on his hand the next second.

There was a fallen leaf on the wooden chair beside him. Ling Yi used his other hand to pick it up and placed it on the little tornado in his right hand.

As expected, the yellow leaf began to spin from the wind current on his palm.

It was like a small boat in a whirlpool.

"Good." Ling Yi smiled in satisfaction.

"Wow! The ability to control the wind." Not far away, a few female students exclaimed softly as they saw his little "show".

As they walked, their gazes remained glued to the small spinning leaf in his hand.

Their innocent eyes revealed her curiosity about his ability and a faint longing for the future.

When they were far away and no longer watched him, Ling Yi put away the whirlwind in his hand.

He stood up and slowly walked away.

…

When he went to Qinghe Park by taxi, it took him about half an hour to arrive.

But now, it took him almost less than a minute to fly back home with his mask on!

Of course, this was mainly because he currently had an agility of 368 points. Even if he were to run with his current stats, he would have a speed of 700 meters per second.

Don't even mention his flying speed.

To avoid being detected or being followed home by certain devices, he deliberately landed in Firefly Town's park before he used his new teleportation ability to escape.

Some people might think he's being too paranoid, and Ling Yi would agree.

Firefly Town was only a small town, not even considered an important big city.

There was no such thing as a "flying life form detection device" in town, so the chances of him being found were very small.

But Ling Yi couldn't help it.

It's always better to be safe than sorry.

In the front yard, Lin Shurou, who was wearing a short green dress, was crouching among the colorful flowers as she tended them.

She immediately flashed him a sweet smile when she saw him arrive home.

She stood up, flicked the hair on her forehead, and smiled at him. "I left half a watermelon in the refrigerator for you. You can go grab them."

"Oh, okay." Ling Yi was surprised for a moment before he smiled back at her.

After the workout he did, he was feeling hot and hungry. So he quickly went inside and made his way to the kitchen.

He took the sliced watermelon from the refrigerator and ate it while sorting out the harvest from the afternoon.

[Aeolus' Call, [Random Ancient Tablet Voucher, [Experience Pool (A)]

These were the three things he had obtained today.

The first item was what he had planned to do from the beginning.

The last two were unexpected.

'Now that I have the flying skill I need, I'm ready to fight against the Beast King.'

He planned to clear the fourth and fifth stages of the main road tomorrow and then start to fight the Beast Kings in those areas the day after.

He didn't know how long it would take for him to fight the Beast King, but he knew very well that if he had the strength to defeat the Beast Kings in his districts, he would have a greater chance of wiping out a large number of monsters in District 87.

No one gave him a time limit for this mission that he placed upon himself. He knew he could take his time.

He just didn't like to delay things.

After finishing the watermelon, Ling Yi opened his inventory and started to check the two items he had received from the announcement.

[Random Ancient Tablet Voucher: Obtain a random ancient tablet after use.

[Experience Pool (A): After activation, the experience gained by the user will be stored in this item. The maximum amount of exp that can be stored is 10,000. After that, you can use the exp from the experience pool.

He didn't know what the Random Ancient Tablet Voucher was, but the effect of the Experience Pool was easy to understand.

And when he saw that it had a 'high' mutation potential, he immediately mutated it.

[Are you sure you want to mutate the Experience Pool? (Requires 42 mutation points)]

"Mutate it."

A few seconds later, he opened the item's effect again.

[Experience Pool (A): After activation, the experience gained by the user will be stored in this item. There is no max limit to how much exp you can store. After that, you can take any exp from the experience pool.

Initially, he could only store 10,000 exp, and now thanks to his mutation system, he could save an unlimited supply of exp!

Although it seemed like a massive change, to Ling Yi, this was no different from changing the maximum limit to one million.

He couldn't save that much Exp by himself, and he knows he wouldn't even reach half of that exp.

'This item would be useful when I hit the map's maximum level limit. Especially once my level would be suppressed.'

The Experience Pool was a safeguard.

When he gained a sudden influx of exp and reached the upper limit of the map in the future, the exp he gained would not be lost for nothing with the existence of this item.

When he entered a higher-level map, he could use this item to level up a few times. 𝒩𝚘𝑽𝖾𝑳𝐮𝑠𝑩.𝔠𝒪𝔪

It was not something that he would use as often for now, but very useful at critical moments.

Immediately after, he also mutated the [Random Ancient Tablet Voucher].

It only has a "Medium" mutation potential, so he did not expect it to mutate to anything good.

A few seconds later, after the mutation, he opened it again.

[Random Ancient Tablet Voucher: After using it, one will receive a random legendary ancient tablet.

"Huh?" Ling Yi was slightly shocked. "Wait, wait, wait! Was this item only a 'Medium' mutation potential? How did it change from an ancient tablet to a legendary tablet?"

No matter how he looked at it, the difference between an ancient and legendary tablet shouldn't be more than a single level.

… Right?

With this doubt in his mind, Ling Yi logged into the forum and searched for the word "monument".

In the end, he discovered that no records of a legendary ancient tablet were found anywhere.

It is evident that no one had heard of such a thing in the past 20 years.

But, he did know what the ancient monument was. It was a kind of stone tablet that could bring benefits to countless people just by being inserted into the ground.

It was like blessing the building or place, a divine weapon that benefited the country and the people!

"Ah… So it's?that?kind of item."

Ling Yi had mixed feelings about this newly mutated item.

Logically, he should be disappointed that the mutation barely changes anything, but this tool could help many people. He would consider it as a rare treasure.

He sighed, "I'll just use it."

He'll just see what it would do.

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ling Yi didn't expect this.

When he used the [Random Ancient Tablet voucher, there were no fancy or flashy special effects.

Instead, he only obtained a random item the next second he used it.

[You have obtained a Legendary Ancient Tablet: Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument!]

He opened his rucksack and found a shiny stone tablet inside.

He went to check its effects.

[Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument (Unique): One of the three legendary monuments. It will take effect as long as it is placed on the ground. Any living being can drip their blood on it and obtain a year of spiritual protection.

1. During the spirit protection period, when the player who dripped their blood dies an abnormal death in the main world, he would be reborn in the stone tablet in the most perfect and healthy state. After rebirth, the spirit protection will disappear.

2. "Spiritual protection rebirth" can only be effective once on any living being.

3. Units below level 80 can not destroy the stone monument.

The effect was relatively long-lasting.

Ling Yi carefully examined it for two minutes and finally understood its effects.

Simply put, it was a rebirth tablet.

One drop of blood for one year.

If the rebirth effect was not used in the first year, he could drip it again in the second year, and he would be protected for another year, and so on.

The rebirth's effect would only take effect once per person. After being reborn, the user will not be able to use it anymore.

And the so-called "abnormal death" it was referring to was deaths that did not happen naturally, like age. These unnatural deaths include being killed by someone, illness, poisoning, hunger, choking, and so on.

There was no way to resurrect someone who had died naturally.

"Mmm… It's alright, I guess."

After thinking to himself, Ling Yi thought that it wasn't bad.

The monument wasn't something that players would usually go for.

After all, many players were more interested in making friends with people who had resurrection skills.

However, it was more precious to ordinary people.

Most ordinary people did not have the opportunity to come into contact with players with resurrection skills. And even if they did, those players might not even care about you.

Kidnapping and other crimes are meaningless to people with "superpowers" after all.

When he opened his mutation system, he found that it had a "medium" potential mutation, so Ling Yi decided to mutate it. 𝓷𝒪𝗏𝞮𝗅𝑢𝚜𝗯.𝓬𝑜𝑀

After the mutation, he noticed that only two things had changed.

One was the duration of the effect had changed from one year to a lifetime.

This meant that everyone didn't have to drip their blood once a year. Instead, they could protect themselves for the rest of their lives.

Second, the "indestructible by anyone below level 80" effect had been upgraded to "indestructible by anyone below level 100".

This meant that only level 100 players or monsters could destroy it.

"Alright, next…"

Ling Yi looked at the mutated Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument in his rucksack and touched his chin. He was thinking about where he should put it.

This was a unique and rare item, so he wasn't afraid of people finding out it was mutated.

And besides, nobody would know. Everyone would only think this was the item's original effect.

"Mmm…"

After a moment's silence, Ling Yi decided it would be better to let the Shenxia officials manage this.

He felt it wasn't very reliable to leave it to the Divine Union, nor did he have the energy to keep it for himself.

He would be at ease if he left it to them.

…

Soon nighttime came, and the sky was filled with stars.

Lin Shurou and Ling Yi were hanging out in the living room when the news was being broadcasted on television.

"Shenxia Treasure Alliance has obtained a new B grade treasure fusion formula, contributed by '01'. From the public…"

"It's the same person that appeared on the World Announcement earlier today! Who is this allusive '01' who manages to create a 10 Star Skill?…"

"According to Shenxia's officials, player '01' also contributed an unprecedented legendary ancient tablet. Currently, the public vote is being held to decide on a suitable location for the tablet…"

In one day, the forum name '01' became a hot topic in Shenxia.

"Who is this '01'? He somehow made many amazing feats in one day!" Lin Shurou exclaimed. Her blue eyes filled with curiosity. "And are the '01' who contributed to the formula, the 10 Star Skill, and contributed to the ancient monument the same person?"

"I guess," Ling Yi calmly said, "On the forum, Shenxia Treasure Alliance already confirmed with the guy. It's the same person."

The evening news was basically all about him and nothing else.

He picked up the ice water on the table and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls, feeling refreshed.

"They really are the same person." Lin Shurou's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, "That's amazing. Not only did he discover the fusion formula, but he also fused a 10 Star Skill… I think he's probably a level 80 or 90 veteran player, or maybe he was one of the first million players to enter the God's Path 20 years ago."

"If that's the case, he should be around forty or fifty years old, right? He's probably an uncle."

Ling Yi squinted his eyes at her, feeling somewhat insulted by her theory. "I don't think so,"

Lin Shurou turned her head and smiled at him, revealing her white teeth.

"Speaking of which," She changed the topic. "Things are getting more exciting, huh? A mysterious newcomer in District 66 and today, this '01' appeared out of nowhere. It feels like a new trend is coming."

"Maybe God's Path is about to open up a new large-scale event?"

"… I'm not sure."

Hearing Lin Shurou mention the event, Ling Yi suddenly remembered that his district had never experienced a newbie event.

Today is the fourth day, and the Beginner's Event will be held on the seventh day…

'I don't think I need to make any preparations?'

The so-called Beginner's Event was an event targeted at the new players that would appear on the seventh day of each server opening.

At that time, outside the camp of each district, there would be a giant tower that reached the sky.

Each level had a corresponding monster, and the players only had to try their best to defeat them and continue to climb up.

The higher the floor, the better the rewards.

One day after the start of this beginner's "activity", God's Path "event" function and "arena" function would be officially open to them.

They had only passed the fourth day and what people often call the "grinding" period in God's Path.

As he recalled the contents of the beginner's event in his mind, Ling Yi examined himself again.

He realized that his current combat power was too far to be considered a "beginner".

Since the other players had a more challenging time leveling up, he doubted any of them could reach level 10 by the end of the week. They couldn't compete with him at all.

He was definitely going to get first place!

While Ling Yi was still thinking about this, Lin Shurou suddenly turned her head and asked him, "Oh, that's right. Did you vote for the monument?"

"Hm? I did."

"Which one do you recommend?" She blinked her big eyes curiously.

On the laptop in front of her was the official voting interface.

She seemed to be hesitating where to place it.

"Of course, it's our Firefly Town."

Although Ling Yi could decide where to place the monument all by himself, he still felt that it was better for the public to determine since it was something that would serve the public.

He could place the ancient monument anywhere, as long as it was within Shenxia's territory.

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: A Young Girl's Childish Goal

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

"I see… Then I'll also vote for it to be placed in Firefly Town." Lin Shurou said and clicked her choice.

Once she was done, she smiled again, brushed her hair behind her ear, and said to him, "Actually, I think it's better to keep this thing away from us. I don't want what happened to Wolf Town to happen to us here."

Wolf Town is a small village in White Eagle Nation. Years ago, they found and erected an ancient monument there. Unfortunately, it attracted many bad organizations and unknown groups wishing to destroy the monument. They fought against the guards, and in just two months, they destroyed and left the town in ruins.

Ling Yi was aware of this fact from when he was doing his research earlier and nodded in agreement,

"I don't know what kind of effects the Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument has. But judging from the name, it seems to be an enhanced version of the White Eagle Nation's ancient monument." Lin Shurou continued.

Shenxia officially revealed the monument's name to the public, but the specific effects had yet to be announced.

However, the general public could guess its effects from its name mostly because everyone knew White Eagle Nation's ancient monument when it was publicized years ago.

So far, there are only five ancient monuments in the entire world.

The White Eagle Nation had the Spirit Guardian Monument, Shenxia had the Strength Monument, and Bei Xiong had the Mana Monument. The remaining two monuments were rumored to be Agility Monuments, and their current location was unknown.

A Spirit Guardian Monument could give a person a chance to resurrect. The spirit protection lasted for one month and could simultaneously protect up to ten million people.

A Strength Monument can increase a person's strength by 10 points and could be used on 10 million people at once.

And the other attribute-related monuments were similar.

…..

When the world discovered that Shenxia's new tablet was called the "Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument", they all thought it was the strengthened version of the White Eagle Nation's "Spirit Guardian Monument".

Currently, on the forum, the most popular topic of discussion is the speculation about the stone tablet's effect.

[Speculations About The Effects Of The Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument!] (HOT)

The current number of people actively participating and reading the page was at the bottom left of the page, which wrote 1.266 billion.

Dozens or even hundreds of new posts were refreshed every second, which was a feast for the eyes.

Most of them were ranked by popularity. As a result, many people focused on the most popular posts and discussed them crazily.

[I think the effects lasted longer. We must go to the White Eagle's monument every month to drip blood again. It's so troublesome.]

[The number of people it affects should also increase, right? Maybe to 20 million?]

[Nah. I think it's 100 million!]

[If it's really 100 million people, doesn't that mean that ordinary people like us have a chance to use it too?]

[If it really could protect 100 million people, it'll be for us foreign players in Shenxia, not you ordinary people. Do you think it'll be more beneficial to you than it is for us?]

[…]

Initially, today's hottest topic was "Who is this 01?".

However, since the monument would affect many lives, it still attracted more attention and discussion.

So the topic naturally shifted to it.

And when the official effects and countermeasures of the Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument were finally released. Like a moth to a flame, everybody immediately came to check.

[Effects of the Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument:… ] (Omitted)

After communicating with "01" who contributed to the monument, we have decided:

[1. All Shenxia citizens can use this monument to protect their souls.] (With the exceptions of Dark Players and Criminals)

[2. Temporarily not open for non-locals.]

…

The wind and the moon were clear tonight, and the stars twinkled in the sky.

Lin Qingyu was walking with her best friend on the football field at Qianjiang University.

The moonlight shone on her beautiful face while her best friend had her head lowered, allowing the shadow of her hair to cover her face.

The slender figure illuminated by the spotlight flickered back and forth as they walked.

"You players are like this. Once you enter God's Path, you only care about becoming stronger and forget your original goals."

"No, I didn't! I didn't forget!" Lin Qingyu immediately retorted.

"What did you say back then?"

"I said that if I became a player, I would definitely make a lot of money and donate it to the Divine Union's Relief Society so that more victims could get food and shelter. I must become stronger and kill all the Dark Players in the world. I will bring peace to the world for you ordinary people!" 𝓷𝒪𝗏𝞮𝗅𝑢𝚜𝗯.𝓬𝑜𝑀

At this point, Lin Qingyu's face turned slightly red at her own somewhat cringey words. She even took a quick glance around the premises to check whether anyone was listening to their conversation.

She sighed in relief when the closest people to them were too far away to listen to her.

Exhaling quietly, she said in a low voice, "But, it's just a whimsical goal of an ordinary little player like me anyway. It's impossible to do it…"

Everyone had dreams. It didn't matter whether they could achieve them or not, but everyone always had one in their hearts.

In her opinion, her childish dream was as hard as getting the highest score in a high school entrance exam.

She didn't even need to think further into it.

It was impossible.

"Aish, it's good that you remember your "childish" goal. I don't want you to be like the others, you know? Everybody left dreaming of being a hero, only to return and become the evil dragon instead." Her best friend sighed. "If you only pursue strength, you'll become cold-blooded and heartless in the end."

"There are too many examples like this…"

The two continued to walk around, their light footsteps on the rubber track almost inaudible.

Just as the two of them fell silent, someone nearby suddenly exclaimed, "F*ck! The Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument's effect is activated!"

"There's no limit to the number of people!! "

Immediately after, the entire sports field was filled with screams. There were many people at the outdoor sports field of Qianjiang University every night.

But tonight, it felt even more apparent how many people they were.

"The monument's effect is out! The announcement said that we can all go and be protected by the spirit!"

"F*ck! Really? Is there really such an awesome monument?"

"I don't know, but it's clearly written on the announcement!"

"I didn't expect legendary national welfare to really exist! Never would I imagine that God's Path holds such a thing!"

"Good, good…"

Hearing the people around them yelling and cheering, Lin Qingyu and her best friend looked at each other and immediately ran to the haystack at the side and sat down. One opened the forum through the player interface, while the other quickly checked the forum through her phone.

"Heavens…"

Lin Qingyu covered her mouth with her hand in shock, "There's actually an incredible item in God's Path? There's no limit to the number of people? It would add protection to the lives of our people!"

"This is better than any insurance! It's truly a national benefit!"

"That's great!"

Her best friend, who was in the shadows, raised her head slightly. Under the moonlight, she revealed a slightly open red mouth. Her lips were soft, full, and tender, contrasting with her snow-white chin.

Obviously, she was also shocked.

"Contributor… 01?"

Hearing her best friend mention this contributor, Lin Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed, "What a coincidence, I have a friend with the same forum name."

"Oh?"

"But he's a newbie, so they're definitely not the same guy."

"Hmm…"

"I didn't expect God's Path to have an item that could benefit everyone … Since that's the case, my future goal will be finding items that could benefit the entire nation!"

Lin Qingyu clenched her fist and said excitedly, "I couldn't fulfill my goals with my strength, but with these kinds of items, I still have hope for the future."

She raised her head to look at the starry sky, and her pure pink eyes brightened.

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: National Praise

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At the same time, cheers and exclamations were heard from the streets and alleys of the cities and villages in every corner of Shenxia.

In a particular hospital ward, a middle-aged father grabbed his daughter's hand on the bed and sobbed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm so useless…"

"… But they only sell it for one million global dollars. I only managed to gather one hundred and seventy-eight thousand after putting everything together…"

The middle-aged father couldn't understand. It was just a simple skill to clear abnormal status. Why would it cost a million?

He had also tried to find other players with this skill. However, there were very few who had it. When he finally found one, it was as if someone had informed them of his situation in advance, and he had to pay 1,000,000 global dollars to buy it.

He looked at his daughter on the hospital bed. She had lost all her hair, pale and the once vibrant and beautiful child he knew was like a withered flower.

When he looked over, she also forced a smile at him silently.

The doctor had already informed him of the sad outcome. There was no other way. Unless the doctor used the players' extraordinary powers, he could not save his daughter's sickness.

'Time is running out, so cherish it.' The doctor's voice echoed in his mind.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to give up, the family members in the next bed suddenly shouted excitedly, "We're saved! We're saved!"

"My brother is saved!"

The father turned his head and saw the patient's family member looking at their phone excitedly, " A big shot contributed a stone tablet. Anyway, as long as we drip our blood on it, if we somehow get into an accident or die abnormally, we can be resurrected again! "

"And he'll be resurrected in the most perfect and healthy state!"

" Does that mean all the diseases in the body will be removed?" Another family member asked.

"Yeah!"

After saying this, the patient's family member quickly called out to the other relatives, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Quickly take a vial of my brother's blood. I'll bring it directly to the stone tablet!"

While the group of people was panicking, the middle-aged father who had overheard the conversation rushed over to ask them.

After he personally verified the accuracy of the news on the forum, the middle-aged father finally couldn't help but cry with joy. He lowered his head and muttered in tears, "This is great… that's great …"

He wiped away his tears and ran back to his daughter's bed excitedly to share the good news with her.

Then, he held her pale little hand and said firmly, " I'll get the doctor to collect your blood and bring it to the stone tablet…" he said.

The exact position of the Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument had not been determined yet.

However, after the effects were announced, the people who saw it voted relentlessly and vigorously more than before.

They believed that their measly votes could change the location very soon.

"When you're reborn, you'll still be a healthy little girl with a beautiful and infinite future… "

"Remember, a person named '01' saved you …"

In every corner of Shenxia, similar incidents occurred one after another.

At that moment, the forum name "01" had become a household name.

Almost everyone was praising him.

"01 is my idol from now on!"

"I hated players because they only brought turmoil and uneasiness to the world. They were of no help to us ordinary people, but someone has moved out of the list…"

"I will remember this person for the rest of my life because he gave me a second life!"

"I just checked and discovered that the Emerald Ring formula provided by Boss '01' is a defensive treasure. Just this alone can greatly increase the survivability of Shenxia's players!"

"Who knows how many people this Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument can save? Whoever this person is should be given the 'hero' title and a substantial reward!!"

"In the future, our descendants will have an extra life. We must protect this great country's divine weapon well!!"

"Boss '01' s name will be passed down for thousands of generations along with this Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument!"

"…"

Of course, in addition to those who praised him, there were also some voices that were talking behind this "hero's" back.

These people didn't dare to appear in the main world and only dared to "show off" on forums where no one could discover their true identities.

[Isn't it just a random item? If it were me, I would also contribute. Is there a need to praise him so much?]

[Why are you only giving it to Shenxia people? Aren't you being too narrow-minded and selfish?] 𝑛𝗈𝑣𝞮𝓁𝚞𝒮𝗯.𝐂𝑂𝗆

[I'm familiar with the script. Next, he'll definitely be collecting money like the White Eagle Nation and think this is it.]

The crowd's eyes were very sharp, and these comments quickly attracted criticism from others.

However, those who wanted to ruin '01's reputation and most of the foreign players liked these comments.

They didn't care what the impact was. As long as it was a nasty comment, they would like it.

Just to satisfy their evil heart hidden under the face of 'justice'.

…

It was a little past eight in the evening.

Ling Yi pulled out a wooden stool and sat by the window to enjoy the breeze.

In front of him was a chat box.

[Nightingale_Chirping: There's an 01 that's on fire today. Is that you? (?ω?)]

[01: Yes.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: … Hahaha.]

The other party jokes.

She thought he was joking too.

He also knew the reason.

Someone started to say that '01' was the first batch of players from 20 years ago, around level 80 or 90. As word of mouth spread, more and more people thought so too.

He could come out to clarify, but he would not do that.

This was because he still had a friend named Lin Qingyu.

That girl knew he was in District 66, Qianjiang City, and had seen his real face.

It would be a bit troublesome if she found out that the world-famous "01" was her good friend "01".

'Lin Qingyu…. Maybe I should kill her for safety sake…' He jokingly thought.

Although it was a joke, Ling Yi knew one thing, it wasn't the time to let the outside world know which "01" was the real "01."

When he wanted to reveal it, he would tell the outside world.

As for whether Shenxia officials and the Divine Union would backstab him?

Well, that would be impossible.

This was because God's Path forum didn't have the "@" function for posts.

They could only say that the other party's forum name was "01", but as for which one, they had no way of pointing it out to the others.

There was only one reliable method of identification:putting his remarkable achievement of being the first to fuse a 10 Star Skill on the Great Achievement column of his forum account.

The entire world knew he was the only one with such an outstanding achievement.

It was the most powerful proof of identity!

While Ling Yi was in a daze, his chat partner sent another message.

[Nightingale_Chirping: Oh, right. There's a party for players below level 30 tomorrow night. Do you want to come?]

[01: A party?]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Yes, it's a get-together for everyone to get to know each other and to change your Support partner if you meet the right person. It's considered a form of social activity. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to dance.]

[ 01: No, sorry, I'm not interested.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Oh, alright… But your Support will be there.]

[01: Just let her be.]

It was normal to abandon an existing Supporter when they meet better ones.

During his last conversation with "GloriousMoon", he knew she was a mage and didn't really need his Elemental Spirit Blade. So, even though his Elemental Spirit Blade was an (S) grade, it wouldn't be something she would like to use.

The main reason she even agreed was probably due to his high Mana, which would be immensely useful to her. She would probably already look for someone else if it weren't for that.

When he heard "Nightingale_Chirping" mention that his Support was coming to the party, Ling Yi remembered that this player had wanted to match him up with her friend.

Last time, he had only said that he was below level 20. The middleman, "GloriousMoon" had said that he could not help anyone above level 10,but he wasn't sure of the other party's level.

[01: What's your level?]

If his level was high enough, he could try and be her Support partner.

[Nightingale_Chirping: Hm? Do you want to be my Support partner? But I'm level 36 now… So the level gap between us might be a little hefty.]

[01: That's alright. I'll be fine in a few days.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Ah? Didn't my friend say that you're not even at level 20 yet?]

[01: That was in the past.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Wasn't it just two days ago?]

[01: …]

[Nightingale_Chirping: …]

Both sides were silent for a while before the other side spoke again.

[Nightingale_Chirping: In that case, I won't go tomorrow. I'll wait for you.]

The two of them talked for a little more before ending the conversation. 𝓃𝞸𝑣𝑬𝒍𝗎𝓈𝒷.𝒞𝑜𝑚

After closing the chat window, Ling Yi touched his chin and muttered to himself, "It seems I have found my next Support partner."

'Level 36… It's enough for me to be her Support for a long time.'

At level 36, he could quickly raise his level from level 26 to level 46. Not to mention, the other party would also level up during this period.

In reality, it might even take a month or two.

"Huaa…" Ling Yi sighed.

When he turned around, he saw Lin Shurou still lying on the sofa watching the "Overbearing Player Falls In Love With Me" drama.

She had been watching this tv series when she was bored these past few days, and he also watched it with her occasionally.

He assumed this was a popular tv series broadcasted all over the country.

The story went like this— An ordinary-looking, innocent female protagonist was saved by a pretty-faced male player in a fire. As a result, the male player fell in love with her because of her exciting view of the world and began to pursue her. A female player who had been pursuing the male player was jealous and started to throw all sorts of accusations at the female protag. After that, the male and female leads would get closer through all kinds of misunderstandings…

The main audience of this tv series was the vast number of ordinary women.

This also reflected the attraction of handsome male players to them.

It was no wonder that Lin Shurou had been "teasing" him from time to time.

It seemed that in her eyes, he was the "sheep".

Perhaps Ling Yi has been staring a little too long because Lin Shurou finally noticed his gaze.

She blinked her beautiful eyes, then stood up, put on her pink slippers, and walked toward him.

"What's up? What are you staring at me?"

She was wearing a white one-piece dress with suspenders today, revealing her smooth, round shoulders and long, slender legs.

Her snow-white skin and white dress complemented each other, making her look like a fairy who had walked out of the ice and snow.

Ling Yi can smell a faint fragrance from her as usual.

Sitting on the chair, he couldn't help but stare at the skin below her neck. The slightly revealing cleavage was less than 20 centimeters away from his eyes.

Ling Yi's gaze moved up, and he saw her looking at him with a slightly red face. He honestly didn't know what to say.

Then, Lin Shurou held his face with both hands and kissed him on the forehead without warning, "We're both adults. Some things don't need to be explained. You and I both understand." She said seriously. "If you're willing to stay at my place for the rest of your life, then …"

She opened her mouth but paused, thinking about a more suitable word.

"Then we can spend it together," She continued after a moment.

"If you don't plan to do so, then you should say so as soon as possible."

It was obvious.

She wanted to get a clear reply. He wondered if his brain had gone haywire from watching too many TV shows.

Ling Yi was stunned for a moment before he finally nodded. "I don't want to walk around anymore. I'll stay here."

"You can stay here for a lifetime?"

"Sure,"

Lin Shurou smiled sweetly, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and whispered in his ear, "Then in the future… you'll be the master of this house."

Her voice was sweet, and her tone was extremely gentle.

She even blew into Ling Yi's ear. The warm air entered her ears, causing his heart to tighten.

Ling Yi had a feeling that the woman in front of him had finally let down all her defenses against him.

It was as if he could easily toy with her if he made a move now.

But the next moment, Lin Shurou released her hands and turned around. She retreated a meter away and smiled at him, "My late mother once told me that men wouldn't cherish women if they're too easy to get. So we still need to keep a distance from each other."

Her wide blue eyes narrowed slightly, and Ling Yi found a touch of charm in them.

Two pink splotches rose to her white cheeks as she smiled teasingly at him.

She didn't stay any longer and ran up the stairs, closing the door with a bang.

It was as if he was too embarrassed to stay here any longer.

There was still a faint, alluring fragrance, but it quickly dissipated when the night wind blew from the slightly opened window.

Ling Yi turned back to look at the tightly shut door. While his heart beat faster, he also felt a great sense of satisfaction.

However, if one was easily seduced by beauty, one could not be considered a strong person.

Thus, Ling Yi, who had the initial mentality of a strong person, quickly calmed down.

He shook his head and dispelled the unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

He looked at the night sky outside the window and assessed himself again.

What other shortcomings did he have…

What else needed to be improved…

…

[You have gained 3 hours from descent]

A few hours later, in the early morning, when the three-hour time was given to every player again, a new day had officially begun.

Ling Yi entered God's Path as usual.

Standing in the camp, he looked at the other players who started to appear around him and quickly went through his goal for the day.

'Today is the day I will pass the fourth and fifth stages.'

With [Aeolus' Call, he finally had considerable combat power.

If he used it with the Ice Queen, then there was still a chance of killing the fifth stage's level 30 Boss.

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: A Loud Boom!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ten seconds later, Ling Yi's blurry figure finally arrived at the main road's fourth stage.

[Current Area: Swamp Forest]

[Monster Information: Mud Imp (lv20-lv25), Shadow Imp (lv20-lv25)]

After going down from Hot Wind Golden Peak, he would arrive at the dark and damp Swamp Forest.

As the name suggested, there were many swamplands at this stage, and walking through them would be very uncomfortable.

So, Ling Yi planned to fly through the swamp, and he had no plan to land.

He summoned a [Starfall] when he was 100 meters above the ground.

"Star…fall!"

His [Starfall] skill had risen to 4 Stars!

The higher his mana, the bigger the meteor would be.

As his Star-Rank increased, his casting range would also increase, and the flaming star would appear higher in the sky.

After copying the Ice Queen's mana attribute, his mana had reached 400 points!

Even though Ling Yi had expected it, he couldn't help but still be surprised by its sheer size as it appeared in the blue sky.

The 400m-long flame star was like an actual meteor, its huge flames covering an area of a few km! 𝒏𝑜𝐯𝗲𝗅𝒰𝑠𝑩.𝚌𝑶𝓂

It fell to the ground extremely fast, making deafening rumbling sounds.

"F*ck!"

When such a giant rock fell, the flaming tail could shoot dozens of meters high.

Ling Yi was afraid he would be hit by it, so he quickly flew higher and further away from the targeted area.

After putting some distance, he turned around to watch the scene unfold.

When it hit the ground, suddenly, it was as if a giant light bulb had been lit up. A dazzling orange-yellow light suddenly bloomed in the targeted area. And if anyone looked directly at it, there's no doubt that it would burn their retinas.

Boom!

As an earth-shattering sound rang through the land, shock waves rapidly spread through the vicinity!

It swept past Ling Yi's body, hitting him against the sudden pressure. He stretched out his hand to block his face from the current, and with his half-opened eyes, he looked down at the forest that was instantly covered in flames.

Boom!

Boom!

The loud sound was far beyond Ling Yi's expectations. The rising flames instantly shot up to a hundred meters in the air!

The forest seemed to be filled with flammable and explosive substances, and the entire swamp forest exploded terrifyingly!

Ling Yi flew further away to a safer distance as he continued to watch the fiery scene.

'Now that you think about it, there's a high level of marsh gas in the swamp, and once it comes in contact with an open fire….'

Ling Yi had always focused on using his skills whenever he needed them. He never considered the environment's characteristics, so the "after-explosion" was completely unintentional.

Looking at the raging fire, which reached several kilometers from where the meteor landed, he felt a little guilty.

'This fire doesn't look like it'll be extinguished so easily… I don't know how long it'll last…'

[You've killed the Swamp Imp (level 20), 1 EXP]

[You've killed a Dark Imp (lv23), 4 EXP]

[…]

In addition to the experience, the materials dropped by the monsters were also automatically added to his rucksack. Since there were so many of them, a large portion of them had been automatically saved by God's Path system into a temporary mailbox.

It took Ling Yi quite a while to collect all of them, even with [Hardworking Bee].

Then, his eyes caught sight of the only monster that survived in the middle of the fiery field. It was the fourth stage's Boss, Poison Bog King.

It looked like a pitch-black liquid monster from a distance, similar to a massive piece of black plasticine.

It stood as steady as a mountain in the middle of the fire as if it was immune to it.

Ling Yi used his [Eye of Truth] to look through its stats.

[Name: Poison Bog King (lv25)]

[Type: Boss Monster]

[Attributes: strength 75, mana 150, agility 75, endurance 225, physique 225]

[Skills: Fluid Form (6 Star) (Passive), Advanced Damage Reduction (6 Star) (Passive), Venomous Body (6 Star) (Passive), Chaotic Muddled Touch (7 Star)]

[Current Status: Heavily Injured (21%)]

Looking at its stats, it seemed to be a "meat shield" kind of Boss.

It only had one active skill.

"Huh? Heavily injured?"

Looking at the unmoving Poison Bog King in the fire, Ling Yi found it hard to associate it with the 'heavily injured' state.

"Mmm… I'll just have to fight and see then,"

He summoned the Ice Queen, and after exchanging a look with her, they rushed towards the boss together.

The fourth stage's battle quickly began!

…

Meanwhile, somewhere else on the main road…

The players of District 66 were stunned when they first heard the loud boom. All of them unconsciously turned their heads towards the sound out of reflex. However, once their thought connected to what it was, they sighed.

"It must be those mysterious players, huh? No doubt about it."

"Yeah. It looks like they're going back to the main road!"

"But isn't this noise a little too loud? We're a few kilometers away from them, and we can still hear it. What's going on over there?"

"Who cares."

"If you don't work hard to level up, you won't be able to get good rewards for the tower in a few days."

The news of a group of players trying to stalk the (now confirmed) mysterious duo was broadcasted worldwide yesterday morning. It also retold their massive failure that led to the group's suicides.

Hence, many organizations temporarily gave up on the idea of searching for these newcomers.

It's not because they didn't want to look, but because they had no other choice.

In District 66, these two players were already invincible! It wouldn't matter how many people they sent. The results would be the same.

The players of District 66 were well aware of the massive gap between them and this mysterious duo, so no one dared to provoke them again.

Even now, when they saw the huge commotion that was undoubtedly caused by those two, they were shocked but forced themselves to focus on their grind.

However, there were always exceptions….

Luo Yao was one of them.

Sensing the huge attack, her heart began to fluctuate uncontrollably.

"Mengya, if the Ice and Flame Star Duo are willing to go to District 87, do you think they can beat it?"

The Ice and Flame Star Duo was the nickname given to the mysterious newcomers, one for the guy who casts fiery meteors in the sky and the other for his ice wielder partner. Thus, they were called the "Ice and Flame Star Duo."

When Qin Mengya heard her question, she knew what the girl she was residing with was thinking.

"You'll never know unless you try," She replied helplessly.

Luo Yaohad been very concerned about this matter these past few days and would only utter a few words from time to time.

It was getting on Qin Mengya's nerves at this point.

"Since you're not even level 10 yet, go find them and see what they're like. You'll be lucky if they're willing. But if they refuse, then you can give up on asking them."

Luo Yao furrowed her brows and nodded, "Okay, I'll go find them now." She said firmly.

But of course, she couldn't come unprepared.

To avoid being frozen by the other party and wasting her time in God's Path, she bought a poison pill from the store for this occasion.

[Poison Pill (E): Throw it into the target's mouth, which will take effect after the target swallows it or crushes it with their teeth. The target will be poisoned (Poison Level 1).

It was initially used to poison monsters, but the effects also apply to other players, and it's a common item used for suicide.

Luo Yao planned to hide one in her mouth when she met them later so that she could quickly commit suicide if she's threatened to be frozen.

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: A Small Harvest

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After a few minutes of traveling, Luo Yao finally arrived at the Hot Wind Golden Summit.

However, as soon as she arrived at the top…

She was met with raging fire on the other side of the cliff!

"What's that!?" Luo Yao asked in surprise.

Before she started investigating, she first bought a "Fire Escape Talisman" from the store and activated it. Then she quickly approached the scene at full speed.

When she arrived at the edge of Golden Peak, she finally saw the terrifying forest fire.

The fourth stage's Swamp Forest was no longer to be seen, and a huge furnace was in its place!

"T-this…" She stuttered in shock.

On the other hand, Qin Mengya calmly watched this scene through her ward's soul.

"It's obvious that the mysterious newcomer has ignited the Swamp Forest. Twenty years ago, someone did the same thing. As a result, the entire Swamp Forest burned down just like it is now. Everyone here died."

"It was also after that that the entire Alliance had a written rule that fire was not allowed in the Swamp Forest."

Only players below level 10 could be instantly resurrected upon death.

Once players go beyond level 10, they have to wait for a long time before they can be resurrected. And even then, they will gain and exp from their previous battle.

This could cause a significant exp loss, which was why the entire Alliance banned it.

However, if whoever set the fire didn't die, they would gain a lot of exp in one go.

Who wouldn't be tempted to do this?

Since then, everyone agreed to follow the rules so everyone can safely and fairly earn their exp.

However, even though the rules had been set, many people had taken the risk to try it over the past 20 years, and only a few had succeeded.

Even if they succeeded, they would still be hunted down by other players in the area for the destruction they caused and the exp they stole.

Not everyone was like Ling Yi, who could face an army of monsters single-handedly. When faced with such a challenge, most players' options were either to escape or die.

There was no third option.

"Wow…" Luo Yao was still struggling to grasp her words together. "Fiery Big Brother is so bold. He dares to do something that is prohibited by the entire Alliance. It doesn't seem like he's afraid of them."

Qin Mengya, on the other hand, had more grasp of the situation.

"When the news was announced, no matter how stupid they are, they knew that the entire Alliance wanted to deal with them." Qin Mengya said as she floated in the soul space, a little speechless. 𝗇𝔬𝒱𝔢𝑙𝑢𝓈𝐁.𝑐𝗈𝑚

"Since they're on the run anyway, why should they follow their rules?" Then Qin Mengya's tone turned more serious as she warned her, "Luo Yao, don't be so na?ve. In this world, only those with power can speak. The only reason the Alliance has such power is because of the large number of first-rate players who enjoy subsidies from the various countries."

"Right now, you might think that the entire Alliance is very impressive, but in a decade or two, when a large number of players have reached level 80 or 90, the entire Alliance will no longer have such a great influence."

"Oh," Luo Yao nodded, not fully understanding.

In fact, she wasn't even listening to what her soul "guardian" was saying at all. The only thing clouding her mind was how she could get close to the Ice and Flame Star Duo.

The fire was too big, and it was impossible to cross it with the "Fire Escape Talisman" alone.

[Fire Escape Talisman (E): Allows the user to be unaffected by fire for 30 seconds. If the talisman were used continuously for a minute, the talisman's power would continue to weaken.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Yao finally gritted her teeth and bought a "Flying Talisman".

This could allow the user to gain the ability to fly temporarily, but it was relatively expensive.

Luo Yao sighed.

…

[You've killed Poison Bog King (Boss) (level 25), 500 EXP]

[You have obtained the 6 Star Skill [Fluid Form (Passive)]

[You have obtained the 6 Star Skill [Advanced Damage Reduction (Passive)]

[You have obtained the 7 Star Skill [Chaotic Muddle Touch]

Elite Monsters gave 10x exp, while Boss Monsters gave 100x exp.

Thanks to God's Path system, Ling Yi, a level 21 player, who managed to kill a level 25 Boss, gained a sum of 500 exp!

[Congratulations! You have accumulated enough experience. You have been automatically raised to level 22!]

[You have received 5 free attribute points!]

Ling Yi opened his personal stats and added all the 10 attribute points he gained from leveling up to improve his strength.

His mana already had 100 points, which was more than enough for a beginner map, so he decided to shift his focus and work on his strength.

He wishes to be an all-rounder player!

Strength 3 strength 13 (10)

After adding the points, he turned his eyes to the rewards.

The Poison Bog King did not drop any rare materials. The things it drops were common loot [Poison Marsh Mud] with a 60% drop rate.

Since the drop rate was higher than 50%, his [Probability Reversal] skill was not triggered, and the probability still remained at 60%.

It was normal for the monster not to drop anything else.

As for the skills…

In God's Path, it was considered lucky to get a skill after killing a monster.

Dropping two skills was already a rare occurrence.

So getting three skills at once was worth taking pictures as a souvenir!

As for getting more than three skills… Well, that was impossible.

This was mainly because all monsters could only drop a maximum of three skills when they died.

These were the laws of God's Path.

He used the [Eye of Truth] to check the three skills one by one and found a surprise in the second skill.

[Advanced Damage Reduction (6 Stars) (Passive) : Any attack that was about to hit the user would be forcibly weakened by a medium degree (Around 20%).

(Advanced Damage Reduction Advanced Damage Increase Hundred Battle Tempered Body)

This was another skill that could be combined.

Having experienced [Aeolus' Call] before, he now had high expectations for the results of this fused skill.

And most importantly, the Star rating would be very high.

"[Advanced Damage Increase]… " Ling Yi muttered these few words as he searched on the forum.

The results were revealed very quickly.

[The First Beast King on the Beginner Map that Dropped 'Advanced Damage Increase' — What do You Think of This Skill~]

Ling Yi immediately understood after reading the post's 'braggy' title.

"No wonder no one tried to combine it before. It's a special skill from a beginner-level Beast King."

There were also many skills with an "advanced" tag on them.

Maybe if other players found these two skills, they would try to fuse them together.

But sadly…

Ling Yi shook his head and closed the forum. He took one last look at the sea of fire below him and immediately flew north.

On the other side of the big river in the north was the beginner's map main road's last stage.

However, as Ling Yi was flying, he was surprised to see another figure flying in the sea of fire.

"What the–"

He quickly used his [Eyes of Truth] to look.

[Name: Luo Yao (lv7)]

[Gender: Female]

[Age: 20 (Single)]

[Talent: Fire Affinity]

[Attributes: strength 2, mana 20, agility 18, endurance 2, physique 3]

[Skills: Fireball (1 Star), Flame Reincarnation (5 Star)]

[Support Skill: None]

[Items Equipped: None]

[Soulbinding Weapon: None]

[Current Status: Healthy]

[Current Mood: Curious, Nervous]

"Luo Yao?" Ling Yi had heard of this person before.

He knew she was one of the more famous people in the District, and the main reason for that was her powerful father and intensive background.

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The Conversation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

"What's she doing here?" Ling Yi frowned subconsciously.

But if he thought about it, she could be here for several reasons. It might have nothing to do with him.

Just as he was about to continue flying north, his thoughts were quickly proven wrong when he heard the girl shouting at him, "Big Boss! Big brother, big brother!"

Thanks to the [Faceless Mask, Ling Yi didn't have to worry about people coming to find him.

And so, he had no worries about turning around and facing her.

He watched as the girl's figure approached him.

Finally, she stopped three meters away from him.

Ling Yi admitted that he was more patient with a beautiful and graceful young lady than other strangers.

It was human nature.

"Big Boss, do you know what happened in District 87?!" She said as soon as she arrived. There's no point in delaying the inevitable topic.

She knew very well that this kind of Big Shot didn't have much time to talk nonsense with her, and she was lucky enough that he even spared her the time to listen to her.

If she began with some small talk, not only would it be meaningless, but it would also ruin the Boss's good impression of her.

"District 87?" He confirmed before he nodded. "I heard of the situation. Why?"

"Big Brother, you're very strong. I'm sure if you try and fight the level 30 Beast King in the future, you'll have the chance to win"

"According to Experts' analysis, if an outsider could successfully exterminate the monsters in District 87 and save that area, God's Path would award them handsomely."

"Boss, if you're willing to go, I can give you a free item that will prevent you from dying once. It will guarantee that you won't lose anything in the off chance that you fail,"

There were only two outcomes after entering District 87.

Either the rescue mission succeeds, or the Beast King kills you.

There was no other possibility.

Applying to enter District 87 for a rescue mission was considered a special case. Players who entered would not lose their precious daily three-hour time limit.

The only possible loss was the death penalty.

As such, Luo Yao had specially asked her father for an item that could prevent her from dying as a form of help.

"Of course, if you need any other help, I'll try my best to fulfill your request." Luo Yao added as an endnote.

She looked at the other person nervously, not really sure if the powerful player would agree to help her.

If he agreed, then she would be happy. If he disagreed, she had no choice.

At least she had tried her best.

Ling Yi raised his eyebrows, looking strangely at the girl opposite him.

He was already planning on entering District 87, so what Luo Yao said was no different from other rewards delivered to his door.

He was just a little confused about her purpose.

"Why are you doing this?" He asked doubtfully, " do you have any friends in District 87?"

"That's right," She answered a little too loudly. Seeing that the Big Boss didn't outright reject her, Luo Yao's heart instantly jumped like a little deer.

Her golden eyes were wide before she awkwardly dived into the detail, "I have a good friend who plays in District 87. Ever since that incident, her life has dramatically changed. I couldn't stand seeing her like that, so I want to help her!"

"I see." Ling Yi nodded, understanding her request. "I've already planned to go to District 87, but since you're offering to help, I won't refuse."

Items that could prevent death were highly precious. 𝗇𝑜𝒱𝐄𝓛𝓊𝑠𝒷.𝗰𝒐𝓂

Even the shop didn't even sell it.

"When you reach level 10, we can trade."

"Alright,"

Luo Yao nodded excitedly and hurriedly asked, "Then how can I find you? Also, how should I address you, Big Brother?"

As soon as she finished asking, she suddenly recalled another critical question.

And that was…

'What level is this Big Shot anyway?'

If he had already reached level 10, then she must level up to be his friend!

"Mm…" Ling Yi thought for a moment before he realized that the easiest way to give gifts was by adding her as a friend. "Let's just add each other as friends. If you want to trade again sometime, you can trade directly in the chat interface."

"Ah, okay!" Luo Yao was delighted that she could add him as a friend.

As long as players were face to face, they could easily add each other as friends.

There was no need to search for names on the forum anymore, which was convenient.

[You have added a new friend: '01'!]

Luo Yao looked at the interface with wide eyes.

'Is he the same '01' people had been talking about for the last two days?'

However, Luo Yao quickly shook that thought out of her head. She is probably overthinking it.

In the past two days, the name '01' has been trending worldwide, causing many players to change their names.

If Luo Yao's guess was correct, this mysterious newcomer should be one of 01's fans.

After all, in the rumors, the real "01" was one of the first batch players from 20 years ago. Whoever that was should be at level 80 or 90, at least!

Even if the person in front of her said he was real, she would not believe it.

"You're also a fan of 01? Me too," Luo Yao smiled politely.

However, it didn't matter what forum name the other party had. What was important was that she had already obtained the contact information of District 66's Big Boss.

Perhaps if she worked hard to build a good relationship with him, he might be able to help her from time to time!

She chuckled giddily at the thought in her heart, extremely satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

Ling Yi didn't correct her nor answered her and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Luo Yao pursed her lower lip and hurriedly asked, "Big Boss, Big Boss, I want to ask one last question. It's about… Have you reached level 10 yet?"

Ling Yi turned around and glanced at her. "Hm? Yes." He simply replied before he went on to his next destination.

Luo Yao heaved a long sigh of relief as she watched the mysterious man's back.

"Hu~ Hu~ Hu~."

"The matter is finally resolved."

Seeing that the "Flying Talisman" and "Fire Escape Talisman's" time was running out, she hurriedly flew back toward Hot Wind Golden Peak.

It seemed like this mysterious Boss was heading to the fifth stage, so she didn't follow.

That place was still too dangerous for her.

After a short while.

Luo Yao, who had successfully landed on the ground at the last second before her "Flying Talisman" ran out, heaved a heavy sigh of relief. A beautiful smile crept to her face once more.

"This is great! This Big Boss is going to District 87!"

"Wan Qing and the others will be saved!"

Her sweet, joyful voice resounded in this small area. The cheerful young girl skipped and jumped, unable to contain the excitement within her.

'Can't this girl be more mature…'

In the depths of her soul, Qin Mengya rolled her eyes.

"He's going, but even he doesn't have much hope. It's best if you don't have too high of an expectation." Qin Mengya poured cold water on her.

Luo Yao stopped bouncing, and her pretty face stiffened.

"Then…" She forced a smile and tilted her head optimistically, "But at least he's the one with the most hope right now. If he fails, only then will I give up expecting others."

Qin Mengya had already expected Luo Yao's answer.

She didn't want to talk much about this, so she changed the topic. "Items that can protect you from death are very rare. Aren't you afraid that he would break the deal for it?"

"I think you should make a formal agreement with him on God's Path."

Qin Mengya had seen many people take advantage of other people's situations and go back on their words.

Not to mention that she had experienced it once herself, which made her never trust others easily again.

"It's… It's fine, right? He said that he wanted to do it anyway."

"Can you guarantee that he's telling the truth?"

"… I don't dare to, but I don't think he's lying…"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mengya rolled her eyes helplessly.

She didn't know how many times she had sighed. With Luo Yao's somewhat naive character, she had a lot of things to complain about, especially when she had more life experience.

If she had been in Luo Yao's shoes, she was confident that she could have ensured that this "big shot" was trustworthy.

And she would have done it flawlessly.

"Forget it, forget it. We've already agreed on it anyway. There's no need to change it." Luo Yao didn't want to make things difficult for anyone else.

She took out another "Flying Talisman" from her rucksack and used it to speed to the south.

"To reach level 10 as soon as possible, I have to work hard too!"

…

Meeting Luo Yao was just a small interlude to Ling Yi's journey.

He didn't take her words to heart.

Looking at the Ice Queen flying in the sky, he said softly, "Xiao Bing1, don't attack this Boss first. I want to try to fight it on my own."

The Ice Queen turned her head slightly and looked at him with her pure and beautiful eyes.

Her red lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something.

However, after a moment, she pursed her lips slightly and nodded at him.

Seeing this, Ling Yi smiled in relief.

After copying her strength attribute, he turned around and flew towards the fifth stage's Boss, the Giant Ax Stone Man. 𝚗𝗈𝑽𝑒𝐋𝗎𝓈𝗯.𝗰𝑂𝕞

He had already seen the Boss's attributes through the [Eye of Truth] just now and knew he was up against a close-combat power-type Boss.

Ling Yi couldn't help but want to fight him one on one.

He had been relying on [Starfall] to kill monsters all this while and had no experience in close combat.

The Boss in front of him had all the strength, speed, and defense. It was the perfect training target.

[Name: Giant Ax Stone Man (LV30)]

[Type: Boss Monster]

[Attributes: strength 330, mana 90, agility 90, endurance 180, Constitution 270]

[Skills: Innate Divine Strength (5 Stars) (Passive), Tough Stone Body (5 Stars) (Passive), Violent Strike (5 Stars), Demonic Blood Blade (5 Stars), Sky-Shaking Thunder Strike (7 Stars), Blood Soaked Self Healing (3 Stars) (Passive)]

[Current Status: Healthy]

It was a three-meter-tall stone man holding a colossal stone ax. Its entire body was made of gray stones, and it barely had a human shape.

Its eyes were like two green lanterns, giving off an eerie green glow.

When Ling Yi landed in front of it, it only looked at him quietly and didn't move.

Instead, the Elite monsters around him, the Broadsword Stone monsters, waved their broadswords and charged at him.

Ling Yi ignored them because the Ice Queen would deal with them.

Sure enough, he could hear the tingling sound of ice flying behind him the next moment.

Pieces of gray ice crystals fell from the sky like a shower, hitting these small monsters.

In just a few seconds, the surrounding monsters were frozen by the dense icy rain, forming large ice stones.

Nobody could see what was inside once trapped in that stone.

The Boss, Giant Ax Stone Man, extended its thick stone arm and pulled out the stone ax that was deeply embedded in the ground. Then, the dim green light in its eyes suddenly lit up as if it had awakened!

Immediately after, it raised its thick stone legs and ran towards Ling Yi with the stone ax in its hands!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The stone feet thump heavily against the ground, letting people know its enormous weight.

Ling Yi's eyes lit up. He held his Battle Flag tightly and activated his Elemental Spirit Blade at full power.

In an instant, the white flames dazzled brightly.

He bent his legs slightly and then charged toward the stone man.

The two of them were like two magnets attracted to each other.

Then, at the next moment–

Bang!

As the Burning Battle Flag collided with the Stone Ax, it clanged loudly, creating a deafening sound.

The invisible shock wave spread rapidly, blowing the flowers and grass around it.

The level 22 Ice Queen had 330 points of power. Thus, Ling Yi, who had copied her power attribute, had 343 points.

It was better than anything.

After a moment of struggle, the Giant Ax Stone Man seemed to realize that the player before him had more power than it and immediately changed its attack.

It turned its offense into defense and blocked Ling Yi's powerful attack. It then stepped back and twisted its body to swing the stone ax in its hand.

Although Ling Yi's 68 dexterity was lower than the giant's, it was still enough for him to react. He immediately waved the Battle Flag at the Stone Ax.

However, the power of its attack was beyond Ling Yi's expectations. He couldn't block it, and he was sent flying.

'strike!?'

'F*ck! I can't even tell that it's using a skill!'

Ling Yi instantly knew the reason why he was sent flying.

The monster couldn't beat him in strength alone.

That horizontal sweep was so powerful, it must have been a skill!

This was the first time Ling Yi had encountered a skill that didn't have to be shouted out loud. He was at a disadvantage due to his lack of experience.

Shua shua shua!

In less than half a second, he suddenly heard a very sharp noise, as if something was flying and cutting the air toward him at high speed.

Ling Yi took a closer look and realized that the giant monster was throwing the stone ax at him!

There was no time for him to think. He immediately held the battle flag in front of him and blocked the flying stone ax, and the weapons clashed with a loud bang.

However, just as he thought this attack was over, the stone man rushed toward him at high speed.

It caught the Stone Ax as it bounced back at it with one hand and then jumped high, its hands gripping tightly on the handle.

In the next second, the Stone Ax emitted all kinds of lightning!

Then the lightning-wielding ax headed straight at Ling Yi!

At this moment, the latter was still flying backward from the previous attack.

Everything happened in a flash!

The Boss monster was extremely anxious about Ling Yi. However, Ling Yi's eyes lit up, and he quickly realized this was his chance.

He quickly activated his short-distance teleportation ability, [Aeolus' Call, and he was suddenly teleported to the Stone Man's back. He held the battle flag with both hands and slashed its neck with all his might!

In the next second, there was a loud "boom" as the Stone Man's ax, which was enveloped in lightning, struck the ground. In an instant, lightning spread everywhere, and the ground cracked.

The shocking shock wave quickly swept across a radius of 100 meters, cracking the ground within 30 to 40 meters.

It's a mighty move, but sadly, it missed its target.

Ling Yi's Elemental Spirit Blade enchanted Battle Flag hit its neck!

Like cutting rubber with a knife, he wedged the flag between the stones, but there was apparent resistance.

The flames on the flag immediately spurted out at this moment, burning rapidly in all directions from the wound.

In the short few seconds of confrontation between them, Ling Yi was the first to injure the other party.

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Weakest Beast King

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

"Huh…"

Ling Yi didn't give chase after his attack landed. Instead, he quickly dodged to the side.

He didn't realize how tiring this high-intensity battle was than what he had imagined.

In just a few seconds, he could already feel his physical strength depleting.

Even though he could stagger the Boss, if they fought back, he would probably lose in the end due to the lack of stamina. It wouldn't be enough to last until his enemy burned to death,

He was able to kill the Wind God Butterfly so quickly last time, and the main reason for that was because the monster had used [Great Storm] with all its might that it tires itself out.

But compared to the Stone Man's power output, he had to admit that the dust storm last time was a very powerful skill.

As Ling Yi continued to think, Stone Man turned around, glaring at him with its beady glowing green eyes.

Then, he picked up its giant ax and charged at him again.

Instead of running away, Ling Yi gathered whatever was left of his energy and charged forward.

He wanted to fight more monsters like this in the future!

…

After a minute or so, Ling Yi completely exhausted his physical strength. So, he handed the rest of the battle to the Queen.

She suppressed the Stone Man's ax with her ice as soon as she entered the arena.

It didn't take her more than ten minutes before she killed it.

[You've killed Giant Ax Stone Man (Boss) (level 30), 700 EXP]

[You have obtained… ]

After collecting all the spoils of war, Ling Yi opened the interface and looked at his current level.

[Level: 24 (2260/7500)]

If he only relied on killing monsters to level up, the challenge was enough to make people dispirited.

Fortunately, the exp could also be gained from God's Path's events, arena, and other aspects.

When these functions are available to them in the future, it would be faster for players to gain exp!

But since the amount exp per level will continue to grow the higher you get, the overall leveling speed should be about the same as now.

"Done," Ling Yi said.

'Since the monsters in these two stages have been cleared, then….'

He stood on a slope and looked into the distance.

A tall greenish-gray altar was located a few hundred meters away from where he was standing. The altar was about 100 meters tall, and it was said to have 300 steps.

On the platform at the top, there was a giant Golden Bell.

You can summon the Beast King of this area when you ring it.

"Tsk, tsk."

Looking at the Golden Bell, Ling Yi was filled with mixed emotions.

Joy, pride, nervousness, apprehension …

Seeing that there was still 1 hour and 38 minutes left before his time to descend, he felt a little troubled.

'The fourth and fifth stages' Boss monsters have been eliminated. I have completed what I have set out to do for the day…. Should I continue to kill high-level monsters to level up? Or should I just call the Beast King out?'

He had already re-read the information about the beginner-level Beast King on the forum several times.

Although the players could not see the Beast King's attributes and skills as accurately, they managed to figure out the skills and overall attributes through the many expeditions they went on.

So, he was still quite confident that he would be able to defeat the beginner-level map Beast King, "Super Bubble Monster".

'Hmmm… It's worth a try….'

He'll fight one sooner or later anyway, so he might as well call it out now.

With that thought in mind, Ling Yi leaped into the air and flew toward the altar at full speed.

It didn't take him long before he reached the side of the giant Golden Bell.

According to the forum, all he needed to do was to push the bell hard enough to make it ring, and it would immediately summon it.

Ling Yi placed his hand on the surface of the Golden Bell, silently feeling the wave-like patterns indent on the surface. Then, without any hesitation, he pushed it with all his might.

Dong Dong Dong

"Let's go!" Ling Yi quickly pulled the Ice Queen's tender hand and retreated away from the altar.

He flew a safe distance, a thousand meters away, before landing on the back of a large rock.

Then, he turned around and looked at the sky above the altar.

According to the players, the Super Bubble Monster will descend from the clouds above the altar after the Golden Bell is rung. Then, it will scan the entire scene. If it finds any players, it will attack them instantly…

Ling Yi wasn't prepared to fight this Beast King yet, which was why he retreated to a safe distance.

After the Beast King appeared, it didn't matter if he wanted to fight or not.

The weather was clear, and the wind was gentle. Then the pure white clouds, like pieces of marshmallows, piled up directly above the altar under the blue sky. 𝗇𝑜𝗏𝓔𝑙𝑢𝓈𝐛.𝕔𝑶𝓜

Two seconds later, an orange-yellow beam of light suddenly descended from the clouds and shone directly on the altar.

Immediately after, a massive, furry, unknown life form slowly appeared from the clouds and descended on the light pillar.

Although he had seen the true face of this Beast King through various channels, he still couldn't help but feel that it was ridiculous to see it for the first time.

This snow-white, furry ball-shaped creature… was a Beast King?

He had always imagined that the Beast Kings were like giants with majestic bodies, just like the five-crowned Dragon in District 87 or the sea-overturning Demon Whale that once caused global panic. Just their appearance alone was enough to make one's heart tremble!

This 'cute' Beast King was utterly different from the other Beast Kings.

Ling Yi had reason to believe that God's Path was being kind to the newbies.

"I should look up this weakest Beast King of all Beast Kings' attributes."

Super Bubble Monsters were publicly acknowledged as the weakest Beast Kings.

This was, without a doubt.

Ling Yi activated [Eye of Truth] and began to check its attributes from a thousand meters away.

[Super Bubble Monster (level 30)]

[Type: Beast King]

[Attributes: strength 300, mana 900, agility 300, endurance 600, Constitution 300]

[Skills: Bubble Summon (7 Stars), Bubble Shield (7 Stars), Advanced Damage Increase (8 Stars) (Passive), Rainbow Heaven (8 Stars)]

[Current Status: Healthy]

"Sh*t…" Ling Yi frowned as he read the panel in front of him. "As expected, it's very all-rounded."

'Even its lowest attribute is 300 points. It's still much higher than what a level 30 player would have.'

'But… It's not too outrageous.'

Looking at the Beast King's attributes, Ling Yi couldn't help but compare its attributes to the Ice Queen's.

The Ice Queen's five attributes were the same, and after his observation, he found that these five attributes were 15 times that of other monsters of the same level.

When she reached level 30, all her attributes would reach 450 points.

Some of her attributes were lower than the cute Beast King, but some also exceeded them. This Super Bubble Monster was at the bottom of the Beast King level, so he could roughly estimate that the Ice Queen's strength was indeed on the same level as a Beast King.

Her power was between a Leader monster and a Boss monster.

Ling Yi turned to look at the Ice Queen.

Her soft and elegant little hand was still firmly held in his palm. He could feel how smooth and cool it was against his warm hand, which was soothing to the touch.

Since he was holding her hand, she couldn't float very high, and her delicate snow-white feet were only a few centimeters above the ground.

The Ice Queen turned to face Ling Yi when she felt his stare.

Her pure white and beautiful eyes stared at him emotionlessly as if waiting for his next order.

"Mm…" 𝑵𝑶𝒱𝑬𝒍𝓊𝓈𝔟.𝔠𝚘𝓂

Ling Yi's thumb unconsciously rubbed her hand in a circular motion as his mind wandered about what he should do next.

He quickly came to a decision.

"Xiao Bing, let's try to fight it first."

He had mutated a [Teleportation Talisman] for their escape, just in case. So, even if they couldn't win, they would be able to retreat immediately.

The Ice Queen nodded in understanding. She then lowered her head, and her eyes caught where their hands were locked together.

It is evident that if he did not let go of her hand, she would not move.

Noticing where she was looking, Ling Yi immediately let go of his hand. He was now becoming more understanding of the Ice Queen's behavior.

'It seems that when I physically restricted her, it became a priority rather than the mission I gave her.'

This meant that she would not break free from him as long as he held her.

But when will this knowledge be useful?

Ling Yi shook his head. Logically, he realized this was like adding flowers to a fully flowered bouquet.

There wasn't much practical meaning to it.

There's no need to think about this unnecessary thought.

He opened his backpack and found the "Physical Strength Pill".

This was the "Physical Strength Pill" he had received as an extra gift from the Divine Union Branch when he first registered.

However, because it was impossible to bring the main world's God's path items into one's bag before level 10, this pill had not been used then.

It wasn't until two days ago that he remembered about it and decided to register it into his rucksack.

Now was the time to let it shine.

[Physical Strength Pill (E): After consumption, a small amount of stamina will immediately be restored.

He once again looked at its mutation potential.

[Physical Strength Pill — Mutation Potential: Medium]

It has the same mutation potential as last time.

The only difference was that now he had enough mutation points to complete the actual mutation!

"System, let's mutate it," He said decisively.

A few seconds later, he opened it again.

[Physical Strength Pill (E): After consumption, once one's stamina is exhausted, a small amount of stamina will be immediately restored.

"…"

"…"

"Huh?"

The newly mutated item's effect was straightforward to understand, but it took him a moment before it finally registered in his head.

He didn't expect a medium mutation potential would have such an excellent upgraded effect.

'I could recover some of my stamina every time I exhaust it?'

"Isn't this a weaker version of the perpetual motion machine?"

Some might say that the effects were exaggerated, but it was also average because it still couldn't recover much.

The "small amount" mentioned here equates to 10% of his original stamina.

With such a tiny amount of restoration, it wouldn't take long before he used them all up, especially when he used skills and did some high-intensity movement in battle.

But even so, Ling Yi was still very satisfied.

"Alright, next…"

He looked at the Super Bubble Monster in the distance and waved his hand to call the Ice Queen.

"Let's go!"

…

[Prompt: The battle of the Beast Kings in this district has begun. All players, please hurry to the Golden Altar!]

When someone launched an attack on the Beast King in a district, everyone in the same district would see the same notification pop out in front of them.

When the players in District 66 saw this message, they looked at each other in confusion.

Everyone was speechless.

"Battling the Beast King? What do you mean? I don't understand."

"I remember… It seemed like it would only appear when someone initiated an attack on the Beast King… F*ck! Doesn't that mean the Beast King of our District has already come out?"

"What???"

"It's only the f*cking fifth day! This… This just doesn't make sense. Nobody would have reached level 10 on just the fifth day!"

"I'm still fighting level 3 and 4 monsters, and someone's already fighting the Beast King??"

"This is too ridiculous!!"

"…"

The players of District 66 were once again shocked.

They realized that they seemed to have seriously underestimated the mysterious duo in their District.

While they were still folding paper planes, the other party was already flying in the sky.

They had personally experienced the gap between their strength, which they describe as the gap between heaven and hell.

When someone surpasses them, any average person would want to catch up.

And when the other party surpassed them by too much, everyone would no longer chase after them. Instead, they would admit that they were indeed better than them. They would look up to and even worship them.

A large number of players in District 66 were also experiencing this change in mindset.

"Now that you think about it, does anybody know their names!!?"

"I don't know! Now, I just feel honored to know they are in the same district as me!"

"Damn, me too. I feel like our district's Big Boss might become a famous person in history someday! If he were already so awesome now, then his future would be… Phew!"

"The people in the main world call them the Ice and Flame Star Duo, but I think we should give the big boss a better title."

"Why don't we put our heads together and think about it? With such an awesome Big Shot in our district, we won't have to worry about losing in some future District Wars or whatever. If the Big Shot gets the meat, we'll definitely get some spoils."

"His trademark skill is to summon meteorites… We call him the Comet Boss?"

"Good, good, good! No one else had ever used this title before! That name's not bad!"

Everyone cheered in agreement, clearly satisfied with the name.

The big star who can summon meteors, the Comet Boss!

Not only did it represent his trademark skill, but it also showed their respect for him.

While most players continued to discuss this exciting topic, some decided to kill monsters to level up, while others went to the forum to post.

They quickly typed up a post about the Comet Boss' current fight against the Beast King.

The Golden Altar was located at the end of the beginner map's main road, a little far from where everybody was.

But even so, some people were still willing to sacrifice some Flying or Acceleration Talismans to hurry on their way.

They had to rush to the edge of the Golden Altar and leave their cameras there.

"In the past 20 years, no one has ever been able to fight the Beast King before the Newbie Event. But someone has done it today!";

A young man who was using a "Flying Talisman" was broadcasting live as he flew at full speed towards the end of the main road.

His name was Qian Yu, a 26 years old man.

He was an ordinary God's Path streamer who liked to broadcast most of the goings on in the district. He had attracted some viewers because he was part of the June's batch, District 66.

Now, in the face of the continuous influx of live viewers on his video, he excitedly narrated to the audience, "This is something that no one has ever done in the past 20 years!"

"Our June 66th District's Big Boss, the Comet Boss, is currently facing the Beast King on the fifth day since the opening of our district!"

"I must rush there immediately and record this heaven-defying act that is enough to overthrow the world's knowledge."

No matter how slow Qian Yu's reaction was, he knew it was best to have an actual video record of such a shocking phenomenon.

If word of mouth were to spread, after 20 or 30 years, when a new generation of young people grows up, they would probably think that this was an exaggerated legend from their predecessors.

Only real historical evidence could make future generations believe this truth.

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The World Is Restless

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

From the onslaught of comments, he could tell that the audience watching the broadcast was skeptical.

However, he wasn't too worried. Once they see Comet Boss in action, he knows there will be no room left for doubt.

At the same time, the posts made by other players in his district were also discovered by many people.

In just a few minutes, this odd phenomenon that the world couldn't understand quickly attracted the attention of many people.

"Beast King battle on the fifth day" became a famous search phrase that shot up the Forum's trending list at an unbelievable speed and continued to rise at an unstoppable rate.

The first people who saw it were all puzzled.

They thought that some news was using this exaggerated title for clickbait.

However, they were stunned by the contents when they clicked on it.

"On the fifth day, battling against the Beast King? Is this real?"

"I know that the mysterious newcomer from District 66 is very powerful, but isn't this a little too exaggerated? Are you sure he didn't just cheat or something?"

"Even if he didn't cheat, I will assume he did."

"It's fake, right? There's no solid evidence yet. It's just news from his own district. If I want to replicate this, I can make a hundred of them in a minute."

It was too unbelievable, and no one dared to believe it.

It was okay if the mysterious newcomer cleared the second or third stage, but the fourth or fifth stage?

Could he?really?wipe them out just like that?

Did he think he was playing a game?

Even if everyone thought that a top player might have possessed the mysterious newcomer, it would still be difficult to clear these two stages in just one or two days.

How could it be so easy to kill tens of thousands of monsters?

"Some people are livestreaming this. Here's the link. Let's go and take a look!"

Just as everyone was getting extremely doubtful, a livestream appeared as if to answer their questions.

Everyone didn't care about what their purpose was, whether it was for views or whatever. As soon as they saw someone livestreaming, they immediately followed the link.

At the same time, organizations from all over the world, including international organizations and major financial groups, also watched the stream.

They did not comment or make their presence known as if they did not want people to notice their existence.

A few minutes later, when the streamer passed the fourth and fifth stages without any monsters and saw the beginner's Beast King "Super Bubble Monster" at the Golden Altar…

The chats in the stream immediately exploded!

…

In the open sea of the Taijing ocean, there was a floating island of more than three million square meters.

The island was named "Ataranta", a place where the headquarters of the Global Player Alliance was located. The entire island was in the shape of a regular circle with a diameter of about two thousand meters.

At this moment, on the third floor of the cylindrical tower on the island, some of the well-known experts from all over the world were gathered again due to this sudden news.

And the others had a teleportation device fixed at the heavenly tower, so it was very convenient for expert players to teleport over.

After watching the live broadcast, the audience remained silent.

The room was shaped like a hand fan, with stars on the knob of the "hand fan".

At the bottom, a beefy bald man with sunglasses pointed at the screen, "Does everyone remember when you summoned a Beast King?" He asked everyone in the room.

"It's been three months since the server opened."

"After the server open. Three months and 11 days."

"Three months and six days."

"Three months and seven days."

Four of the dozens of people sitting at the staircases replied.

"That's right!" 𝗇𝒐𝐯𝗲𝓁𝐮𝕊𝑩.𝗰𝚘𝓂

The bald man raised his eyebrows and thundered, "Everyone here is a genius among geniuses, an elite among elites. However, even the fastest among us took more than three months to pass the fifth stage and summon the Beast King."

"Everyone must know what this means to summon a Beast King in just five days!"

"Let's not care about the others for now!"

"Now, the whole world is waiting for our response. We must make a judgment immediately."

At this point, the beefy bald man slowly swept his gaze across the crowd from left to right and frowned slightly. "Everyone here is at least level 90! I won't waste any more time. Now, please make your choice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, beeping sounds came from the small screen on everyone's table.

Everyone lowered their heads and saw three options appear on the screen.

[1: Hope and friendship of humankind]

[2: Treat as an alien, eliminate]

[3: Quietly wait for a follow-up and watch from the side]

Players from all over the world formed the Alliance.

Those who had the power to make decisions were the representatives of Shenxia Divine Union, White Eagle Nation's Eagle Alliance, Bei Xiong's Bear Alliance, and other countries.

Although this group of top players from all over the world didn't have actual power, their opinions could significantly affect the plans of the entire Alliance.

"This guy is too abnormal. If it weren't for the fact that I can't do anything to him now, I would have rushed into District 66 and killed him." A man with a feminine face and long blue hair said in a rather sinister manner.

As he spoke, he chose the second option.

"We'll talk about it after we figure out which country he's from." A golden-haired middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses said as he selected the third option with an indifferent expression.

After that, his figure slowly faded away.

It was apparent that he had teleported back.

Almost all of these experts had their own things to do, and it was already good enough that they could drag out a few minutes for this meeting.

There were still many players who hadn't even come.

The others also quickly made their decision and went back to their respective places.

The place had become cold and quiet again in just a few short breaths.

The bald man in sunglasses didn't respond to them. He looked at the message on the screen and frowned.

[1:15]

[2:23]

[3:37]

'So many people chose the third option….'

After a moment of silence, the bald man finally shook his head and sighed.

"Forget it. I'll just write it down."

…

[You absorbed 77 points of Wang Kai's surprise]

[You have absorbed 66 points of Wang Kai's shock]

[You absorbed 68 points of Liu Shui's agitation]

[You absorbed …]

On the plains under the sun, Ling Yi stood in the crowd and listened to the players gather to talk about him.

"Right now, the forum is full of topics about our district's Comet Boss. He's popular all over the world!"

"Yesterday, it was 01. Today, it's the Comet Boss. Why are there so many strange people getting popular recently?"

"There's a slight difference between the two of them. The former is Shenxia's mysterious hero, while the latter is a heaven-defying newcomer of unknown nationality."

Although the mysterious boss "01" didn't disclose his nationality …

However, the fact that he handed the Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument to Shenxia's officials and provided the treasure fusion formula to Shenxia's Treasure Alliance was enough to prove that he was from Shenxia.

This was something that everyone in the world knew.

"I don't know which country this Big Boss of our district is from. If they're from some dark organization or some other hostile force, then we'll be in trouble …"

Hearing this, Ling Yi turned his head and glanced at the man who had spoken.

Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, he should be from Shenxia too.

Seeing this, he smiled and turned around to walk away.

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Level 25! News Of The Elemental Martial Body

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A few minutes ago, he went to challenge the Super Bubble Monsters.

In reality, he was really,?really?just testing the waters.

The Ice Queen had suppressed the Stone Man with the giant ax the entire time, but it took more than ten minutes to kill it.

If the two of them couldn't suppress the Beast King even when they joined forces, killing it would be even more difficult.

Unless one had overwhelming combat power, one or two hours would not be enough to fight the Beast King.

In every battle against the Beast King, players would collectively save their time three days in advance. And with the joint effort of 10,000 people in six to seven hours of fight, they finally defeated it.

If the two of them wanted to defeat it in a short time, their strength would have to be much stronger than the king's.

So, after a brief exchange of blows and getting a first-hand experience of the Super Bubble Monster's strength, he immediately retreated.

There was still more than an hour left, so instead of wasting it on the Beast King, it was better to go and kill some monsters to level up.

…

It was slightly past three in the morning when he returned.

When he arrived, Ling Yi immediately used the daily roulette and the EXP Pearl.

[Congratulations! You have received a reward from the daily wheel: Experience X100]

[You have gained 780 experience points!]

When he looked at the level bar again, it had already changed to—

[Level: 25 (3012/7800)]

Ling Yi closed his personal interface and sat down at his desk. He looked at the bright starry night outside the window, and his mind gradually calmed down.

His mind was full of thoughts.

'I'm starting to have the strength to fight a level 30 Beast King, but I'm still far from defeating it.'

'The Super Bubble Monster has a shield that can reflect energy attacks. My [Starfall] and Elemental Spirit Blade will easily be deflected.'

'I'm still lacking in physical strategies.'

In the battle with the Super Bubble Monster, he realized his serious disadvantage.

He didn't have any effective physical means of dealing with damage!

Both [Starfall] and the Elemental Spirit Blade were energy attacks.

It would not be considered a physical attack unless he detached the blade from the Battle Flag.

He could just detach it…

But…

A Battle Flag on its own was not powerful at all.

After all, it was not a weapon to begin with.

'Looks like I need to find a physical damage output skill.'

With that thought, Ling Yi removed the [Notification Talisman] from his inventory.

Last time, he had found an excellent flying skill through it.

It was the first thing that came to mind when he thought of looking for new skills.

He held it in his palm and muttered, "I'm looking for an… Uh… A powerful and suitable physical attack skill for me."

He was afraid that this [Prompt Talisman] would not understand the meaning of "awesome", so he caught himself in time.

A few burning words appeared in front of him a few seconds later.

[Elemental Martial Body]

"Huh? If I'm not mistaken, isn't this a Support Skill?"

When he had first obtained the Elemental Spirit Blade, he had intentionally looked up the rest of the support skills.

This one had the same "element" as the Elemental Spirit Blade, so he remembered it.

It's just that he did not remember the exact effects.

He opened the forum again and searched for this name. A few seconds later, Ling Yi confirmed this was a Support Skill. Then, he looked up the effects other people had shared.

[Elemental Martial Body (A): Causes one's elemental attacks to have a small amount of physical damage.

The effect was very straightforward.

The only thing that could confuse people was the range of "elemental attacks".

'Actually, what is considered an elemental attack?'

Under this effect, there was a standard answer that everyone had verified.

[Grass and Wood Fangfang: The so-called elemental attack refers to any attack that contains the ten major elements like metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness. Even if a skill is not dominated by this element, it can be considered an elemental attack as long as an element accompany it.]

In other words …

Ling Yi's [Starfall, Elemental Spirit Blade, and [Aeolus' Call] were all elemental attacks.

'Wait… Hold on a second!'

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and his eyes widened.

[Starfall] and the Elemental Spirit Blade were nothing. But [Aeolus' Call] was a large-scale wind elemental wreaking havoc skill.

If it was accompanied by physical damage skill, then…

There was no room for his enemies to dodge this attack!

With his skill, he could generate wind, but it was just ordinary wind, which was essentially harmless.

However, if he really obtained the [Elemental Martial Body, his wind could become a god-tier wind Skill that could cause physical damage!

Not only did it have an extensive attack range, but it was also tricky to dodge. Moreover, the continuous physical damage could make up for many of his current flaws!

'If it can allow my wind to deal damage, then this Elemental Martial Body is a must.' Ling Yi made up his mind.

He would have to wait until level 30 before attempting the next Support trial.

He was only five levels away from that level…

It could be said that he would be able to get it after a few days of hard work!

As for why he didn't find a player with this support skill to help…

That was because, technically, the skill he received through Support wasn't his, so he couldn't entirely rely on it.

Knock. Knock.

When Ling Yi turned his head to look, Lin Shurou pushed the door open and brought him a hot meal with a smile.

"You must be hungry. Have some supper."

…

[The young master of White Eagle Nation's number one Guild, 'United Gods', has finally reached level 10 this morning. However, according to him, he did not break the previous world record. It's evident that someone else has already broken the world record before this…]

[District 66's Ice and Flame Star Duo have eliminated the main road's fourth and fifth stages!]

[What is the big boss of District 66's star summoner's level? What kind of strength does he have?]

[…]

Early in the morning, the news woke up the drowsy people.

Those who didn't stay up late the night before were all shocked when they saw the hot news on TV.

[District 66's Ice and Flame Star Duo have broken the level 10 world record!]

[Yup! It's a pity that God's path will only be updated in half a year. I can't see how long it took that guy to reach level 10, and now I'm curious.] 𝚗𝗈𝑽𝑒𝐋𝗎𝓈𝗯.𝗰𝑂𝕞

[But, in half a year, we'll be able to find out the Ice and Flame Star Duo's identities.]

[Half a year is too long…]

Ling Yi had just finished his breakfast and was resting in the main hall when he suddenly received a message from a 'Nameless National Pillar'.

The Nameless National Pillar was Shenxia's official that he had contacted previously.

The other party told him that after a public vote, the ancient monument had been confirmed to be placed on the summit of the great Firmament Mountain in Tianhe City.

There was no one within a hundred miles, and it was located in the center of Shenxia land, so it was very safe.

Now that the other party was asking him, should he be the first to drip his blood so the spirit would protect him?

[01: I…]

Just as he was thinking, the other party suddenly gave him something.

[You have received a gift from the Nameless National Pillar: Long-Distance Teleportation device]

[Recipient's Note: This is a personal gift from me. Please accept it]

Ling Yi was stunned. He subconsciously opened his rucksack to check the item.

[Long-Distance Teleporter (C): Can set two coordinates on a global scale, and the user can teleport back and forth between these two coordinates. Coordinates can be changed once a day. Only two teleportation opportunities per day]

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Level 30! A Great Increase In Strength

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

'A Long-Distance Teleporter?' Ling Yi raised his eyebrows. He was surprised. 'I'll just call this a Global Teleporter instead of that long-winding name.'

Since they gave him this convenient item, it was clear what they were trying to say. 𝗇𝑜𝗏𝓔𝑙𝑢𝓈𝐛.𝕔𝑶𝓜

With the [Faceless Mask, he was not afraid of his identity being seen through. And besides, they just made things easier for coming and going.

Therefore, he decided to go.

[01: Okay, I'll be the first one to drip my blood at noon.]

The Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument was an ancient monument that would last forever. Of course, he was the contributor, so he's the first person to be able to drip his blood on it and ask for its protection.

[Nameless National Pillar: Also, we've already arranged your reward. It is divided into two parts: Material Rewards and Honorary Titles.]

[Nameless National Pillar: The Honorary Titles will be announced nationwide tonight. The real rewards will be divided into two parts, God's Path tools, and the main world rewards. The latter will also be announced tonight, but please check and receive the former now.]

[01: Okay.]

Obviously, the people on the other side had already guessed that he didn't want to show his face.

Otherwise, they would have arranged a grander award ceremony.

After Ling Yi replied, he looked at the air in front of him quietly.

Very quickly, a long message appeared in front of him.

[You have received a gift from the Nameless National Pillar: 10,000,000 Gold coins, EXP Pearl X10,000, Barrier Self-Service Bag (A) X1, Divine Guardian Beast Self-Service Bag (A) X1]

As this message appeared, the conversation between the two ended.

After closing the chat interface, Ling Yi sat on the sofa, his expression slightly excited.

'Sh*t! This reward is beyond my expectations.'

'Holy–! Ten thousand EXP Pearls means I get a total of 1,00,000 exp!'

The EXP Pearl was a unique reward from the daily roulette.

In the beginner map's roulette, it was the best reward. In the intermediate map's intermediate roulette, it was a second-rate reward. In the high-level wheel of high-level maps, it was an okay reward.

In the ultimate diagram's ultimate wheel, it was just an ordinary reward.

Therefore, although it was a rare resource, it was not so rare that a country could not even produce 10,000 of them.

Ling Yi didn't look at the other rewards for the time being. Now that he had obtained these 10,000 EXP Pearls, he couldn't wait to level up!

Leveling up was still the fastest way to increase combat power!

The higher his level, the stronger he would be, and the stronger his summoned beast, the Ice Queen, would be. Then it would allow him to copy higher attributes!

Meanwhile, if players reached level 30, they could attempt a second Support Trial and obtain a second Support Skill.

Hence, no matter how he looked at it, the best course of action was to focus on leveling up!

[You used an EXP Pearl, 10 exp]

[You used an EXP Pearl, 10 exp]

[You…]

….

[Congratulations! You have accumulated enough experience. You have been automatically raised to level 26!]

[You have received 5 free attribute points!]

[You used an EXP Pearl, 10 exp]

[You…]

…

A few minutes later, after an unknown number of EXP Pearls, Ling Yi finally reached level 30!

[Congratulations! You have accumulated enough experience. You have been automatically raised to level 30!]

At the same time, another notification appeared.

[Prompt: Your level has reached the beginner map's upper limit. Please defeat the Beast King in this district to enter the next area to break through the level limit!]

If he didn't have the "Experience Pool", he would not get any more exp from killing monsters once he reached the level limit.

According to Ling Yi's understanding, the "Experience Pool" was a reward that only those who triggered the world announcement had a chance of obtaining.

There was no other way to get it.

Including him, less than ten people in the world had it!

Ling Yi came back to his senses.

After adding all the attribute points to strength, his strength attribute was completely renewed.

[Strength: 38]

Although it was still low in his personal opinion, compared to other new players in the same batch, his 38 strength attribute was already very high.

He then looked at the number of EXP Pearls he had left and found that he still had 5,880 of them.

Ling Yi thought for a moment, then opened the Experience Pool and used the rest of the EXP Pearls.

After a short while, he had stored a total of 58,800 exp in his Experience Pool.

"Next…" He turned his attention to the remaining two A-grade rewards.

[Barrier Bag (A): After use, you can choose an A-grade barrier of your own choice from the bag.

[Divine Guardian Beast Self-Service Bag (A): After use, you can choose an A-grade Divine Beast from the bag.

The mutation potential of these two items was medium.

Ling Yi might as well mutate them.

Just as he had thought, both of them had mutated from Grade A to Grade S.

Then, he slowly began to choose from the group of S-grade barriers and S-grade Guardian Beasts.

…

Lin Shurou was watering the flowers in the yard.

There was only a happy smile on her usually delicate, snow-white face. She hummed an unknown song and carefully took care of every flower in the flower bush.

The sun that had just risen shone on her alluring body, casting a reflection on the colorful porcelain floor tiles.

Today, she wore a light yellow mini-skirt with straps, revealing her snow-white, round shoulders, and flawless white arms.

Her brown hair was tied into a long ponytail, bouncing left and right as she walked.

When the sun's light suddenly weakened, she subconsciously raised her head, only to see a translucent glow that enveloped the entire courtyard but quickly faded away.

Then, the sunlight returned to normal.

Lin Shurou was stunned. She raised her eyebrows and murmured in surprise, "A barrier? Don't tell me…"

"That's right. I did it," Ling Yi's voice came from her side.

Lin Shurou turned her head, and when she saw his face, she stood up subconsciously and smiled. A red tint dusted her cheeks, "You're here."

"Mhm…"

Ling Yi raised his eyebrows and gave her a strange look. "Weren't you very bold last night? Why are you acting like a little girl now?"

"…"

As if she could get any redder, Lin Shurou blushed and lowered her head. She was too embarrassed to answer.

Just as Ling Yi was about to change the topic, he suddenly heard her mumble in a volume that normal people couldn't hear, "Because I'm more…"

His voice was getting softer and softer towards the end.

However, no matter how small it was, he still could hear her clearly, thanks to [Aeolus' Call].

"Even more… Lonely."

Ling Yi was confused for a moment. He then remembered that he had previously seen the same "current mood" status on her interface.

At that time, he hadn't thought of it in a literal sense.

Now, it seemed that there was also an emotional level to it.

Perhaps it was because she was all alone at home, which led to her desire for other people's love and company.

It was inevitable that she would do something bold.

"That's right!" Lin Shurou, who was redder than a tomato, suddenly brought him out of his thoughts. "Is this a barrier you set up? What level is it? What kind of barrier? What is its effect?"

"And aren't you a newbie? Where did the barrier come from? You got it from a treasure chest?"

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: A Barrier, A Divine Guardian Beast, And Two-Person Trial

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

She threw out a bunch of questions one after another, successfully diverting Ling Yi's attention from their previous topic.

"This is a [Light Barrier, an 'S' grade barrier. It's a gift from someone."

A barrier was something that was used to protect an area.

It was fundamentally different from the [House Protection Talisman, which only protected one building.

They were two items of the same type.

The [House Protection Talisman] is mainly used to protect a resident's house, and sometimes people add other things to help with its protection.

However, in large places such as schools, hospitals, department stores, and so on, the [House Protection Talisman] couldn't meet the desired needs and expectations.

In such a situation, a barrier was more suitable for adequate protection.

"Don't we have your talisman to protect our house? Do we still need a barrier?" Lin Shurou blinked her watery blue eyes and asked curiously.

Speaking of this, she recalled the magic of Ling Yi's talismans.

In her memory, all talismans were one-time use props that would burn and disappear after one use.

But somehow, the talisman he had stuck in his bedroom was still hanging since it had been triggered the last time.

"That's why I said it's a gift." Ling Yi shrugged his shoulders. "Besides, it's better than nothing. At least this courtyard is protected now, and you can water the flowers in peace."

"That's true," Lin Shurou nodded slightly. She wanted to say some words of thanks, but she swallowed them back.

'You're being too polite if you say that.' She reprimanded herself in her head.

At the end of the day, the barrier's ability was the same as the talisman. They all provided a giant shield.

Different enchantments were only different in some minor features.

[Wind Barrier, for example, provides additional protection from storms. Another example was the [Fire-Proof Barrier, which prevented an open fire from appearing within the barrier.

On the other hand, Ling Yi had mutated the [Light Barrier]. So now it has the additional effect of "Automatically repairs the barrier when it comes into contact with light".

It meant that he didn't need to worry or even care when the barrier was attacked. It would recover on its own— it's a very self-efficient barrier!

Other barriers would need to find several people to repair them when they were even slightly damaged.

"Oh, that's right." Ling Yi pointed at an iron sword that he casually stuck into the ground not so far away from them, saying, "That sword is a Divine Guardian Beast I just got. You don't have to worry about it. It will attack if an enemy enters."

"Huh?" Lin Shurou's gaze followed Ling Yi's finger and saw a rusty bronze sword stuck to the ground. The blade was buried about 10 to 20 centimeters into the earth. "Oh, okay!"

She nodded her head and smiled happily. "It's good to have a Divine Beast to protect the house. This way, if someone breaks into the courtyard when you're still in God's Path, it will give me some time to run into the house."

House-protecting Divine Beasts were an extremely unpopular existence.

They could only be bought from stores and were very expensive.

On top of that, they could only display their combat power in a fixed small range. Their combat strength was not particularly strong either.

For the vast majority of people, the price-performance ratio was highly unbalanced.

If it was triggered, it was still not as helpful as the player themselves.

It was tasteless, but it was a pity to throw it away.

…

At noon, Ling Yi used the Global Teleporter to go to Mt. Firmament and dripped his first drop of blood before returning.

He also dripped Lin Shurou's blood on it too.

The news that the Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument would be placed on the summit of the great Firmament Mountain in Tianhe city had spread through the entire land of Shenxia. When Ling Yi arrived, countless people had already gathered around.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he unhurriedly completed his 'task'.

Then, he returned through the 'long-distance teleportation device'.

The mutation potential of this thing was only medium. After his mutation, it was no longer limited by the number of coordinates and times it could be used.

Initially, it could only mark two locations, and it could only be teleported between them once a day.

Now, he could mark a hundred or even ten thousand coordinates around the world and teleport between these coordinates an unlimited number of times.

The effect was indeed excellent!

However, to him, it did not have much of an effect.

After all, it was enough for an average person to travel once a day. Why would they travel all over the world…

…

In the living room, when Lin Shurou turned on the TV and sat on the sofa, watching the live broadcast of the 'Spirit Guardian Blood Drop' event, Ling Yi reappeared and moved to a wooden chair next to the window.

He opened a chatroom to talk to his "would-be Support Partner".

[Nightingale_Chirping: Have you canceled your Support Bond?]

[01: Yes… How did you know?]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Hehe, because Ran Ran told us in the group that a more satisfying person had found her. So she changed her Support Partner.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Are you disappointed? (????)]

[01: What's there to be disappointed about? It's just choosing a better person to help. Anyone would do the same.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Is that so… I'm not sure.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: By the way, I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?]

[01: How about the good news first?]

[Nightingale_Chirping: The good news is that I have just completed a monthly event and received an item that can allow me to achieve excellent results in the Support Trial Event: Storm Desert. So, I will be able to obtain a high-quality Support Skill, and you may be able to take advantage of it.]

[01: What's the bad news?]

[Nightingale_Chirping: The bad news is that the event also gave me a lot of experience, and I'm now at level 37. We'll have to wait even longer before we can be Support Partners…]

[01: Oh, these two are good news. To be honest, I'm already at level 30 and was just planning to do the Support Trail Event: Storm Desert myself.]

Naturally, he received a bewildered emoji from the other side. 𝔫𝑜𝑣𝑒𝓁𝓊𝐬𝐛.𝒸𝞸𝕞

However, his would-be partner probably assumed that he had also completed some event and received a rich exp reward, so she readily accepted his claim.

[Nightingale_Chirping: That's great! In that case, why don't we start the two-person trial?]

[Nightingale_Chirping: If we do the two-person trial together, we will have a greater chance of getting higher quality skills! Plus, there was a possibility of obtaining a 'One Heart Contract'! What do you think? (??*)]

The two-person trial was a trial where two people would carry out a Support Trial together.

The difficulty would be doubled due to the extra player.

Similarly, the final rating would be used to determine the grade of the Support Skills that the two could obtain.

Other than that, in the two-person trial, there was a certain probability of obtaining [One Heart Contract].

To make a long story short, this skill could deepen the bond between the two Support Partners.

[01: Uhm… That's fine too.]

He only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

He had seen the Storm Desert trial events dozens of times. Basically, he could complete the trial mission with his ability to control the wind.

Most people would receive an A-rank evaluation and the skill [Howling Wind].

However, he had the even more awesome [Aeolus' Call]. He could say that he has an S-tier skill right at his fingertips.

Moreover, if he really wanted to obtain an item like the [One Heart Contract] someday, then he would have to do the two-person trial anyway.

This item could only be obtained from this event and could not be traded or given.

[Nightingale_Chirping: Great! So, when are we going to the trial? I'm fine with any time.]

Seeing this, Ling Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment. 'I'm already level 30. If I can successfully obtain that Support Skill today, I'll have a high chance of defeating the Super Bubble Monster tomorrow!'

He had increased his strength by a considerable amount today. If he could get a second Support Skill and successfully go through this trial event with Nightingale, his combat power would increase by a lot!

He quickly made a decision.

[01: Let's not delay any further. Let's do it now.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Okay!]

Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Stormy Desert

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The two-person trial was an invitation.

When one party chooses a trial, the other party will be invited.

Once Ling Yi found the "Storm Desert" among the trial events and invited "Nightingale_Chirping" from his forum's friend list, the two of them disappeared from the main world.

…

Storm Desert.

[Trial Requirement: Survive for 10 minutes.]

[Possible Support Skills: Sand Shield, Storm Acceleration, Light and Shadow Substitute, Destruction Continuation, Elemental Martial Body]

This was a standard survival training.

The longer they survived, the higher their score will be.

The two knew that the 10 minutes stated on the trial requirements was just the bare minimum.

If they couldn't last for 10 minutes, they would only receive the lowest E-rank evaluation.

Only once they reach the 10-minute mark, the rank will be raised to a D.

When they entered the trial scene, Lin Ye first noticed the dark and gloomy sky.

Ling Yi, who was wearing a summer outfit, stood in this boundless desert. He couldn't help but feel a little cold as the wind blew against his skin.

He frowned slightly when suddenly an epiphany overcame him. He quickly seized control of all the winds nearby and calmed them down.

Without the clamor of the cold wind, the vast desert suddenly became quiet.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the woman beside him.

The woman was tall, and her long legs were a big emphasis to that. She also had a rather alluring face.

There were thin strands that hung down to the sides of her cheeks, shaping her face, while the back of her hair was tied into a braid, which she swung behind her back.

She was wearing a light yellow sports suit that fit her perfectly. If one didn't know better, they would think that she was a coach from a gym.

A long sword made of blue water was held in her right hand, and she wore a bracelet made of three golden feathers connected together.

"Hello. Nice to meet you. My surname is Yun. You can just call me Sister Yun."

When he looked over, the woman who called herself Sister Yun, smiled in extreme politeness and extended a friendly hand to him.

Ling Yi eyed suspiciously at her exaggerated yet reserved attitude. His mouth almost twitched into a frown. "My surname is Ling. You can also call me Brother Ling."

As he spoke, he reached out and shook her hand.

"Alright then. Let's discuss our plan," The woman, whose real name was Yun Zixiao, smiled.

After the two shook hands, they tacitly stopped talking and looked into the distance.

At this time, a few hundred meters away, there were humanoid units wrapped in tattered yellow bandages climbing up from the sand.

They were the monsters in this trial scene, the Desert Mummies.

Their only weapon was the yellow bandages on their bodies. They looked torn and tattered, but they were extremely tough. Once they were caught by them and managed to wrap around your body, it would be tough to escape.

Then the bandages will absorb the moisture from their victim until they're sucked dry and turned into a dry corpse.

So, if he wanted to survive, the main thing to do was to avoid getting entangled with them.

"You can control the wind?" Yun Zixiao asked as her eyes roamed around the area. 𝔫𝑜𝑣𝑒𝓁𝓊𝐬𝐛.𝒸𝞸𝕞

"Yes,"

"Looks like we have a chance to get that S-rank score."

Other than the Desert Mummies, the storms and the strong and dusty wind also threatened the challenger's life.

Having the ability to control the wind meant that they minimized the risk by half.

Yun Zixiao raised the orange-yellow whistle hanging around his neck and smiled at him. "This is the Whistle Of The Undead that specifically counters the desert mummies. As long as I keep blowing it, these monsters won't dare to get close."

"I originally wanted to bring you to an A-rank event, but now it seems… We've helped each other."

Ling Yi glanced at her in surprise and replied with a soft, "It seems so,"

Then, he saw "Sister Yun" put away her water sword and start to whistle.

Fweep…

Fweep…

Fweep…

She blew for half a minute in one breath before continuing to blow into the whistle again.

During this time, Ling Yi only needed to stabilize the wind around him.

'Hmm… Gotta wonder, though. Why did she have her weapon ready as soon as she entered?'

'Could it be… In this two-person trial, players can fight each other?'

The monsters in this trial couldn't be killed, so the weapon was definitely out of the question.

Ling Yi quietly logged into the forum and searched for a moment. Sure enough, he read some information about two players fighting in a two-person trial.

[Shen and Xia fought in the pair trial because they were both pursuing the same woman.]

[A genius from the Sunset Sakura Nation…]

The two-person trial didn't require a specific gender pair to enter, so you don't have to enter with your Support Partner.

The only requirement was that the level difference between the two parties must not be more than ten.

Now that he saw the information on the forum, Ling Yi could understand "Sister Yun's" earlier behavior.

Even if the two of them had a good chat before, it was only limited to the forum. Now that they had met in person, they still had to take precautions.

It was just like a real-life meetup with an online friend that required pepper spray, just in case.

'No wonder she didn't even dare to reveal her real name. It seems like she's a woman who appears friendly on the outside but very cautious on the inside…'

Ling Yi could relate to that.

He didn't tell her his name either for the same reason.

As for his face…

If even the cautious "Sister Yun" dared to reveal her appearance in this trial event, he did not need to worry.

The forum does have a camera function to take pictures and recordings. This is probably why God's Path doesn't have skills or items that have these features.

If players wanted to use the two forum's functions, they had to summon a 'Small Flying Device' for it.

Without this Small Flying Device, he didn't have to worry about his face being photographed on God's Path.

Plus, he couldn't bring his phone in any way.

The only thing he was worried about was if the two of them were ever to cross paths in the main world, they would most probably be able to recognize each other.

However, the world was so big, and the probability of meeting an "online friend" just by walking around was almost as low as winning the lottery.

A few minutes later, the two of them clearly felt that the difficulty was getting higher and higher.

The most obvious change was the increase in the number of desert mummies.

There were only about 50 to 60 of them when they first entered. But now, they were densely packed around the two of them. With a rough glance, he could estimate about 500 to 600 of them, at least!

And very visibly, Ling Yi could see their fear of the whistle slowly lessened.

Previously, the Desert Mummies would run away as soon as he heard it, but now, not only did they stay their ground, they even dared to crawl over slowly.

Ling Yi raised his head to look at the time.

[Progress: 17 minutes 16 seconds]

"17 minutes! We're almost out of the A grade," Ling Yi exclaimed. Turning his head, he saw "Sister Yun" looking exhausted. However, her gaze was unusually determined as she stared at the Desert Mummies.

The look in her eyes was the gaze of a stubborn person, a Player who refused to admit defeat.

'Without my help, it looks like she would, at least, be able to get an A rank,'

Using a single Whistle Of The Undead could get an A rank.

Just wind control alone could get an A rank too.

If the two were to take the trial together, the most they could get would also be an A rank.

Because the difficulty was doubled with two people, it made no difference.

However, Ling Yi had [Aeolus' Call]. His ability to control the wind was not something that [Howling Wind] could compare to.

Seeing the Desert Mummies getting closer and closer, he willed a rising air current to blow him and Sister Yun into the air.

"Ah!!" Yun Zixiao yelped in surprise and stopped whistling as her feet left the ground. She was blown up to a height of over 30 meters by the updraft.

"You did this?!" She turned to Ling Yi, the shock still on her face.

"Yes," Ling Yi floated to the side naturally, "The Desert Mummies are getting too close. Instead of standing there and waiting for our demise, why not run?"

"That's…" Yun Zixiao was speechless for a moment.

She didn't expect the person beside her to have such a superb ability to control the wind. He could suppress the storm in the desert while still having the strength to blow them off the ground.

'How high must his magic attribute be!' She was both surprised and secretly in awe.

"Thank you," She said sincerely.

At first, she had overestimated herself and thought that with the Whistle Of The Undead, she could easily get them an A rank.

Now, it seemed that the guy beside her was more reliable than her.

…

[Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the Trial Event "Storm Desert"]

[You have successfully survived for 20 minutes in this trial and have received the score: S rank!]

[Congratulations! You've obtained a Support Skill: [Elemental Martial Body (S), [Destruction Continuation (S)]

[You have obtained: [One Heart Contract]!]

Just as Ling Yi returned home, he received a message from Nightingale before he got the chance to examine the items in detail.

[Nightingale_Chirping: Thank you very much! Without you, I would never have been able to obtain the S-rank Support Skill!]

Since they scored an S on the trial, both of them received (S) grade Support Skills.

[01: No need to be so polite. The Support Skill is for me too, so, of course, I want it to be of a higher grade.]

[Nightingale_Chirping: Yes, Yes!(???〃)]

[Nightingale_Chirping: I received an S grade "Destruction Continuation". So are we going to be Support Partners now?]

Because Ling Yi had the 'Probability Reversal', he immediately obtained the Elemental Martial Body, the hardest skill to get.

And his "would-be" Support Partner seemed to be quite lucky too.

[01:Okay.]

Soon, the two of them completed the Support Bond.

[Congratulations! Your Support Bond with player "Nightingale_Chirping" has been officially confirmed!]

Ling Yi opened his personal stats and looked at them carefully.

[Name: Ling Yi]

[Level: 30 (0/12400)]

[Talent: Probability Reversal]

[Strength: 38]

[Mana: 100450 (attributes copied)]

[Agility: 3127 (support)]

[Physique: 3260 (treasure)]

[Endurance: 3]

[Skills: Starfall (4 Stars) (Room to grow), Attribute Duplication (6 Stars), Ice Emperor Summoning (10 Stars), Eye of Truth (4 Star), Aeolus' Call (10 Stars)]

[Remaining Star Slots: 29]

[Treasure: Dream Sacred Star (A)]

[Support Skill: Elemental Spirit Blade (S), Elemental Martial Body (S), Destruction Continuation (S)]

[Combat Power: An absolute powerhouse with overwhelming strength in beginner maps]

In five days, he had jumped from the lowest level player to the absolute strongest in the beginner maps!

Even to the extent that the current him would dare to launch an official attack on the Beast King tomorrow!

"All of the Ice Emperor's attributes are now at 450 points. She is much stronger than yesterday. And I've become even stronger."

Ling Yi clenched his fists. There's a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He remembered when he saw the Beast King's attributes yesterday. Its mana power was overwhelmingly as high as 900 points!

Yesterday, his level was not high enough to duplicate it.

But now…

"900 mana points…"

Mana affects a player's energy attacks.

This meant that when his magic power increased, the power of his [Starfall] and [Aeolus' Call] would be even stronger!

If he added the Beast King's magical attributes to his, his mp would surpass it in one fell swoop!

He could gain the upper hand in energy attacks against the Beast King!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ling Yi took a deep breath and carefully read through the two support skills he had just obtained.

[Elemental Martial Body (S): Causes one's elemental attacks to have a moderate amount of physical damage.

[Destruction Continuation (S) (Passive): When dealing damage to the enemy, it can restore the user's physical strength to a medium degree.

'The damage of the elemental martial body has increased. Sh*t… Recover physical strength? This is a surprise.'

Ling Yi had initially planned to buy a few hundred Stamina Pills for tomorrow's battle.

He had more than 10 million gold coins anyway, so buying a few hundred was not even enough to put a dent in his savings. He could afford them.

It seemed like there was no need to buy it now.

What was worth mentioning was that God's Path had a complete set of skill damage systems.

The "small damage" and "medium damage" described in the skills had long been tested on the forums by many players.

Ling Yi had only skimmed through it the last time. This time, after seeing the effects of [Elemental Martial Body, he couldn't help but find that post and click on it again.

From low to high, the damage of physical skills could be divided into five levels: slight, small, medium, large, and great.

[Slight damage: Increase by 5%]

In other words, the actual power was 105%.

[Example: If a player's regular punch has a power of 100, then they can use a boxing skill with 'Slight Damage' to have about 105 power.]

[Small damage: Increase by 10%]

[Medium damage: Increase by 20%]

[…]

Although the S-grade[Elemental Martial Body, is only 10% more powerful than the A-grade [Elemental Martial Body] , the gap would widen as the player's level increased.

On the market, skills that dealt small or medium damage made up the majority.

Occasionally, an ownerless skill that could deal a lot of damage would appear, and it would immediately attract a group of high-level players who they're willing to fight for it.

If there weren't any significant disadvantages to this kind of skill, its Star Rank would be very high.

'Come to think of it. If an A-grade [Elemental Martial Body] only inflicts a small amount of damage, a B-grade would inflict even less than that. Then what about a C-grade?'

Ling Yi searched again out of curiosity.

It was only then that he realized that a probability was required to trigger the C, B, and D grades [Elemental Martial Body]…

Shaking his head, Ling Yi closed all the interfaces, leaving only the rucksack interface open.

And finally, the last item left, the [One Heart Contract].

However, he had already seen this item's details several times on the forum and other places, so there was no need to check it.

He looked down and saw its potential for mutation was 'High'. So, with no hesitation, Ling Yi immediately mutated it.

[Are you sure you want to mutate the [One Heart Contract]? (36 mutation points required)]

"I'm sure,"

While it was mutated, Ling Yi recalled the two Support Skills he had just obtained.

These support skills were like attributes and levels and could not be detected by the Super Mutation System.

It could not be mutated.

However, Ling Yi was content. Getting an S grade item was already more than enough.

After a short while, when the item became clear again, he opened it with anticipation.

[One Heart Bond: Special Support item. After use, one heart level will be obtained. As the support duration increases, the level will slowly increase. The highest level of Support Bond was level 10.

[1. For every increase in one heart's level, the upper limit level difference between the two parties can be increased by one level.]

[2. For every 2 levels, the Support Bond will receive an additional support position.]

The original [One Heart Contract] can only be used on the current Support Partner. Once the Bond is removed, the [One Heart Contract] will disappear.

After mutation, there was no need to bind it to just one person.

He could use it over and over!

Not only that, thanks to the mutation, [One Heart Contract] had an additional effect of [One Support Position for every two levels gained].

This meant that he could help many people at the same time in the future!

'However, this is a big effect. I can't help those who aren't close to me.' Ling Yi touched his chin. His expression was relatively calm.

This thing could not help him much at the moment.

It would only be helpful when his heart level increased.

But there's no harm in trying anyway.

Very quickly, Ling Yi used [One Heart Contract] and found that under the Support Skill column on his personal stats, there was an additional column [Heart Level].

[Level: 1]

"Phew …" He sighed in relief, finding that he had used the time productively by sorting out all the gains from earlier.

He looked up at the small garden outside the window, where birds were chirping, flowers were blooming, and the sun was shining brightly.

His body and mind slowly relaxed.

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Hunting Super Bubble Monster

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The following day, when the time for his adventure on God's Path had arrived, Ling Yi didn't want to stay a second longer and quickly entered.

Today, he was going to officially conquer the Beast King of the beginner's map!

The moment his figure appeared in the camp, he immediately rose hundreds of meters into the air with the wind and flew in the direction of the main road at full speed.

"Woah!"

"Where did that wind come from?!"

The sudden burst of strong wind swayed the nearby people. When it finally dissipated, they looked up.

Was that a shadow just now?

"What's that!?"

"I think I saw a person flying in the air?"

"I saw it too! I can't see exactly who it was, but I saw him fly into the sky the moment he entered and then head straight towards the main road!" Someone quickly said.

"Do you think that's our Comet Boss?"

"Most probably,"

Once the 'Comet Boss' was mentioned, the surrounding people cast curious eyes over the distance.

"Why would Comet Boss still be heading to the main road? Isn't the Beast King his last target?"

"I don't know. It can't be to fight the Beast King, right?"

"Well, who knows…"

Although the players said so, no one really thought that he was going to fight the Beast King.

The fact that at least a thousand high-level players were needed to deal with the Beast King, it had gradually been instilled in everyone's mind around the world for 20 years that it was the only way to go.

Even if their district's Big Boss had already successfully cleared the fourth and fifth stages of the main road yesterday, they still didn't think he had the right or ability to break the world's perception.

…

The Beast King.

It was the highest-level monster known to the world.

At the same time, it was also humanity's greatest threat.

Two months after God's Path's descent, a level 3 Black Sky suddenly appeared in White Eagle Nation's Rhine City. The first Beast King to appear in the main world, the "Royal Spider". Out of the 300,000 people in the city, less than 50,000 managed to escape.

Another Beast King descended upon the Sakura Kingdom in July of the second year. A colossal fire spread out for 300 kilometers.

In February of the seventh year, the Beast King, "Giant Lightning Bird," descended upon an important town in Bei Xiong, turning everything it passed into ruins.

The Beast King "Overturning Demonic Whale" appeared on November to December of the thirteenth year. Its existence still left a shadow in countless people's hearts. It set off hundreds of massive tsunamis along the coast of the great Pure Ocean and attacked more than 300 coastal cities in total, causing more than 20 million people to be displaced. Until now, 200,000 people are still missing.

…

The Beast King that had followed Black Sky into the main world was a nightmare for countless people, especially for ordinary people.

They were genuinely terrifying in the main world.

However, to Ling Yi, who had never experienced these disasters, thought they were just slightly stronger monsters.

He didn't have the slightest fear in his heart.

And instead, his heart was filled with excitement.

"Attribute Duplication!"

At a distance of 500 to 600 meters, he directly activated [Attribute Duplication] on the Super Bubble Monster.

The target was the opponent's magic power!

In the next moment, it was as if a clear and gentle stream of water had quickly flowed through his soul, and a numbing coolness flashed by.

After that, a wave of power increased and emerged from the depths of his heart.

By the time he came back to his senses and rechecked his mana attributes, it had already increased to—

[Mana: 100900 (attributes duplicated)]

'Exactly 1,000 Mp!'

Ling Yi was flying at an altitude of over 200 meters. With a gentle wave of his hand, an astonishing storm was set off a few hundred meters away.

The storm swept through the forest from the south to the north. All the trees along the way were torn apart by the fierce storm, turning into hundreds of tiny wood chips blown away by the storm.

"Sh*t…" Ling Yi clenched his fists. In the next second, he felt that he was stronger than ever.

With the overflowing power in him, he even thought he might not need the Ice Queen to defeat the Beast King.

But he needed to calm himself down. He knew that this power made his ego inflated.

And he was strong-willed enough to quickly sweep these "arrogant" thoughts out of his mind. He calmly summoned the Ice Queen.

When this white-haired, white-eyed, and beautiful woman in a blue dress floated out of the mirror. Ling Yi smiled at her with confidence, "Xiao Bing, we're going to officially attack the Beast King today!"

The Ice Queen looked wide-eyed at him as if she was surprised. Then, she shifted her gaze to the Super Bubble Monster in the distance and finally turned back and nodded at him.

"That's good! Let's Move!" Ling Yi turned around and looked at the Super Bubble Monster resting with its eyes closed under the Golden Altar.

"Starfall!" He shouted and activated all the magic power in his body.

Suddenly, as if something had sucked away a large amount of energy, he felt a strong sense of exhaustion.

Before he could stagger and fall, a weak stamina boost suddenly appeared in his body that pulled his energy back from fainting.

From full health to exhaustion to recovery, in mere seconds! The rapid changes that were occurring in his body left him slightly disoriented.

"Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t…"

'Although I expected it, I didn't think that my stamina would be drained this much this quickly…'

With an increase in mana, his skills' power would become stronger. So naturally, the stamina required will be greater too.

A small [Starfall] with a diameter of one meter would not require the same stamina needed to cast a [Starfall] that had a diameter of a thousand meters.

When he summoned the 400-meter [Starfall, he had already felt the loss of stamina.

At first, he thought that he could increase his endurance attribute for last, but now, it was evident that he could not delay it any longer …

In the sky, a colossal flame meteor had already appeared.

It was like an incomparably huge fireball, shooting out a dazzling light in the dark! It caused the area within several thousand meters to be blanketed in white.

Below, the Super Bubble Monster suddenly opened its dark green eyes and looked up at the sky. When it saw the massive star, which was bigger than its body, its eyes widened in shock and fear.

It seemed to be saying, 'How can a player use such a powerful skill!?'

However, thanks to its 300 points of agility, it reacted quickly and jumped to escape the direct hit.

At that exact moment, a dense rain of icicles hit its surroundings, stopping it from moving forward. 𝓷𝑶𝗏𝑒𝓁𝐮𝗌𝓑.𝚌𝑂𝑚

The Bubble Monster looked over and saw a white-haired woman floating in the air.

Upon seeing this, it no longer wanted to dodge but activated its skill [Bubble Shield]!

[Bubble Shield (7 Stars): Creates a bubble shield that can reflect energy attacks in a random direction. The energy level of the defense move consumes the user's stamina at the same time.

Even with a reflective shield, the Super Bubble Monster would still try to dodge when it was faced with energy attacks.

It would not be hit like a fool.

The Ice Queen did not stop attacking even when the shield was being formed.

She began to release a large amount of frost mist in the direction of the Bubble Monster, hoping when the next it was caught off guard, she would be able to freeze it in with the next move!

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: The Battle

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Very quickly…

That colossal meteor smashed into the Super Bubble Monster's [Bubble Shield].

All the compressed energy instantly formed a ball of fire like a mini sun! 𝗇𝚘𝒱𝑒𝐋𝗎𝐬𝓑.𝑐𝑂𝗆

The [Bubble Shield] only manages to stop the ball of fire for a second before rapidly deflecting the attack towards the west!

Whoosh!

It was so fast that Ling Yi's brain didn't even comprehend what had just happened. He only processed that a blurry yellow ball of light quickly whisked past towards the west before his brain caught up.

When he turned his head, he saw a burst of flames several hundred meters high erupting in the area, thousands of meters away!

A massive flash of light illuminated that part of the world.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that he heard a rumbling sound.

Ling Yi refocused his gaze back to the monster, his face completely calm.

He had also been deflected when testing his skills on the Beast King yesterday, so he wasn't all that surprised when his [Starfall] was also deflected.

He focused his eyes and used [Eye of Truth] to check the Beast King's current status.

He skimmed through the known information and looked at the last section.

[Current Status: Minor Injuries (92.96%)]

Since it required some energy for the beast to deflect his attack, it still dealt some medium physical damage.

Although it doesn't look much, a medium physical damage dealt by [Starfall] that was ten times larger was still higher physical damage dealt than a regular [Starfall]!

To be able to injure 7% of the giant monster in one go was already quite a feat!

However …

In the blink of an eye, the opponent's condition changed again.

[Current Status: Minor Injuries (92.99%)]

It is evident that thanks to the beast's 600 endurance points, it allows a high-level natural recovery.

This means minor injuries could be recovered within minutes.

Ling Yi's expression turned serious. He ate some Stamina Pills to recover his lost energy.

Thinking of [Continuous Destruction]'s recovery rate, he had a rough idea of how to utilize it to make his next move.

He could now summon the wind!

Ling Yi stretched out his hand and summoned a strong gust of wind that blew towards the Super Bubble Monster.

He immediately created several tornadoes around the Beast King and spun them around like small electric drills.

It was then that the Super Bubble Monster noticed Ling Yi's presence.

It raised its body to face the sky, then spat out a series of bubbles from its mouth.

The bubbles glowed with a myriad of colors under the sun. They grew larger at a strange speed and rapidly dispersed in all directions.

When the Ice Queen, who was floating not far away from the Super Bubble Monster, saw this, she quickly created hundreds of icicles from the air and directed them to shoot the bubbles.

Most of them were pierced and popped in the blink of an eye.

The rest fell to the ground and turned into two to three-meter tall, furry Bubble Monsters.

'This must be its other skill, [Bubble Summoning]!'

It could summon a large number of Bubble Monsters.

These Bubble Monsters were all level 30 and had the same strength as ordinary level 30 monsters.

Before they could even move after taking form, they were quickly frozen by the frosty mist that had already permeated the area.

The Ice Queen didn't need to do much before a series of crackling noises of ice breaking could be heard from the ice.

In the next second, the ice that had frozen the monsters exploded one by one without any resistance!

The Bubble Monsters summoned by the Super Bubble Monsters were annihilated before they could even take action!

Seeing this, the Super Bubble Monster did not summon another Bubble Monster. Instead, it suddenly jumped up and pressed its huge, forty to fifty-meter tall body towards the Ice Queen!

The Ice Queen's agility was much higher than the Beast King's, so it dodged the attack easily.

As she dodged, she even created an ice-blue ice spear in the void and threw it at the latter's body the moment it got too close.

The simplest way to distinguish between physical attacks and energy attacks was very simple: to see whether the attack had a solid, physical body.

Anything with a solid, physical body would be considered a physical attack.

Thus, even though the ice spear was made up of pure ice elements, it was no different from a steel spear. So it could easily pass through the [Bubble Shield, stabbing straight through the Super Bubble Monster's body.

The Super Bubble Monster felt a slight pain and turned around to glare at the Ice Queen. There was a faint seven-colored light flashing around its body.

'Is that the eight Star move, [Rainbow Heaven]?' Ling Yi frowned as he watched the scene unfold from afar.

It was an enormous Halo skill that weakened the surrounding enemies and boosted its allies' power.

If an enemy were hit by its light, their strength and mana would be reduced by 10%.

And it was tough to dodge.

As if sensing Ling Yi's thoughts, the Ice Queen turned her head to look at him from afar. She extended her hand towards him, with her palm outstretched in the same direction.

The next moment, a faint white shield suddenly appeared around Ling Yi.

It was her [Holy Shield of Extreme Frost]!

A magic-immune shield that would only lose its effect after three attacks!

"Phew, I almost forgot about this." Ling Yi let out a sigh of relief.

And just in time, too, because the Super Bubble Monster's white furry body began to emit seven rays of light within seconds. It was as if the colors had divided it into seven parts, giving it a bizarre appearance.

The colorful light illuminated the area, but because he and the Ice Queen had both put on the [Holy Shield of Extreme Frost, they were immune to its magical effects. The Beast King did not have its summoned beast by its side, so the Skill did nothing.

It was useless.

At this point, the Beast King had already used three skills: [Bubble Summon, which was completely stopped by the Ice Queen; [Rainbow Heaven, which was a waste of energy.

The remaining Skills left were the [Bubble Shield] and [Advanced Damage Increase, which were a defensive Skill and a passive Skill.

'The situation is to my advantage right now. Let's see if we can finish this up.'

Ling Yi flew in the area further away from the Beast King and continued to control the wind element attacks by the edge.

He couldn't get too close in case the Beast King decided to jump and attack him.

He did not have the newbie benefits now. If the Beast King killed him, he would drop a level and return to the crystal.

The penalty for a player's death was to clear their current exp and drop a level and lose a portion of their gold coins.

Sometimes you might even lose a Skill due to reduced Star Slots!

For most players, this was even more unacceptable than the level reduction!

Because of this, many high-level players would deliberately leave a few empty Star Slots.

This was to prevent them from losing an important skill when they accidentally died.

Ling Yi still had 29 Star Slots in his arsenal, so he didn't need to worry about this.

However, no one would be willing to die if they could.

He still had to be careful.

"Great Tornado!" Ling Yi shouted. He raised his hands and created a massive tornado on the ground, enveloping the Super Bubble Monster in the center.

While continuously dealing medium physical damage to it, it also continuously recovered its own stamina.

He tried his best to keep his stamina consumption and recovery in check so he could continue fighting with higher power for a long time.

And to top it all off, trying to maintain the wind that kept him afloat in the sky.

The Super Bubble Monster was one of the few Beast Kings that couldn't fly, and there was a limit to its jumping ability.

…

Time passed by quickly.

After an unknown amount of time.

When Ling Yi checked on the other party's status again, his slightly tired eyes suddenly lit up.

[Current Status: Heavily Injured (14.63%)]

'Only a bit more left! Then we just have to persevere a little longer!'

He then called out the time interface to check the remaining time he had in God's Path.

[Remaining Time From Descent: 7 Minutes]

"What! Only seven minutes left?"

Perhaps because he was too focused on the battle, he didn't realize that time had passed so quickly.

His brows suddenly twitched, and a hint of anxiety was etched on his.

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Frost Cell Sky Prison Attraction Starfall

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Based on his current progress, the remaining time he had left was not enough.

If he failed to kill the Beast King before the timer reached zero, then today's efforts would be in vain.

With the Beast King's ability to recover, there's no doubt the giant monster will be back to total health by the time he enters God's Path tomorrow. In fact, it would probably take one and a half hours for it to heal completely without any attack slowing its healing.

Which means… If he wanted to finish this fight, he and the Ice Queen had to increase their damage output somehow!

However… Even though the goal was clear, he didn't know how to achieve it.

Time was of the essence, so Ling Yi's brain worked at full speed.

"To deal a lot of damage in a short time…" He mumbled to himself.

His mind couldn't help but recall the beginning of the battle. He had used [Starfall] before he triggered the Beast King's combat mode. And with the Ice Queen's help, he had successfully hit it.

A single shot had taken away about 7% of his opponent's health.

If he could successfully hit his target two more times, he would be able to kill his opponent in a short time!

However, would the Beast King give him the chance to do so?

'Mm… There's no harm in trying, plus I'm more prepared this time.'

He took out a strength pill from his rucksack and ate it.

His stamina was instantly restored. 𝗇𝑜𝒱𝓮𝓛𝑢𝗌𝓫.𝗰𝗈𝗆

Immediately after, he activated all the magic power in his body and shouted, "[Starfall]!"

In an instant, all of his stamina was once again sucked dry, but he quickly recovered 10%.

A giant fiery ball of gas appeared in the sky once more!

Ling Yi couldn't tell how big it was with his eyes, but it looked about 800 to 900 meters long.

Even if he used up all his energy, he still wouldn't be able to summon [Starfall, which was a thousand meters long. This was his limit.

After summoning the flame star, Ling Yi quickly took a handful of physical strength pills from his rucksack and consumed them again.

He planned to continue summoning another [Starfall]!

'The Beast King will move in a certain direction when it sees this flame star, so I'll release another to block its path!'

'Luckily, I bought some extra Strength Pills before I came here just in case…'

One strength pill only costs 10 gold coins, so even if he used 100 of them, it would not even put a dent in his savings.

He cast his gaze at the Beast King in the distance.

And as expected, as soon as it saw the massive flaming ball of gas heading its way, it immediately gave up on attacking the Ice Queen and jumped to the side.

It could jump 300 meters high and a distance of 600 meters. A complete jump only took one second to land.

It could escape [Starfall]'s core attack area with two jumps. With three jumps, only the aftermath of the attack would be able to hurt it.

The damage from the aftershock could be ignored.

"And…. to the right, perfect!"

"[Starfall]!" Ling Yi quickly shouted.

He set the second [Starfall] two thousand meters to the right.

Just as he took out the Physical Pill and was about to release the third [Starfall, he suddenly noticed something strange.

The Ice Queen extended her hands towards the Beast King, and a mysterious blue light burst from her entire body.

The Super Bubble Monster's body suddenly stopped moving. Then, a cold blue light beam shot down from the sky, forcing the Super Bubble Monster to the ground!

The beam of cold light was like a fast jet of water, hitting the Super Bubble Monster from top to bottom. The bubble shield covering its body was destroyed in an instant, and its round white body was crushed into a white pancake.

"That's!?—"

Ling Yi was pleasantly surprised. He quickly activated his [Eye of Truth] to look at the light beam.

[Frost Cell Sky Prison Attraction: [Ice Cloud Divine Art]'s second move. Activates the power of ice to immobilize the target, breaks the target's shield effect, and prevents the target from using Skills. Unable to perform other actions during casting. The higher the target's attributes, the greater the stamina consumption per second. This skill can only be used once per day.

"What a powerful single target control skill!"

Although it had a greater restriction on the user, it could play an essential role in determining success or failure at a critical moment like this!

Ling Yi quickly scanned through the Skill's description and turned his gaze to the Ice Queen in the distance.

At this moment, she was facing the Beast King with her hands outstretched, her beautiful white hair dancing in the wind.

A magnificent blue light was swirling around her. In the light, she looked like a pure frost fairy, wearing an ice crystal blue dress and bare feet, with a body as beautiful as jade.

Her pure white eyes were now focused on the Beast King in the distance, and she looked like a wife who was seriously solving her husband's affairs.

Ling Yi was slightly stunned as he looked at her back.

It was also at this moment that the first of the two [Starfall] finally landed.

BOOM!

…

A few minutes ago, in the Red Orchard…

Luo Yao had just killed another Red Fruit Monster and finally collected enough exp to level up again, successfully reaching level 10.

[Congratulations! You have gained enough experience…]

"Yes! I'm level 10!" Luo Yao cheered and immediately informed her father of the good news.

Today she had also been fortunate to get a lot of loot from the monsters she battled.

Among them was the item that she had promised to give away to the mysterious player.

[Heavenly Spring's Soul (C): One-time use item. It can only be used in the God's Path Events. This item will automatically be used and activated once placed in the player's rucksack. When a player dies, it would save the player from the death penalty and provide immediate resurrection.

Looking at this item, Luo Yao was excited. "With this thing, that Big Shot should have no more worries!"

She had just opened the forum's chat interface and wanted to give the item to the other party through the forum's free function, but Qin Mengya quickly stopped her.

"Wait,"

"What?" Luo Yao blinked her eyes in confusion.

"Didn't your father give you a teleportation device? Why don't you use that to teleport to the Golden Altar?"

Qin Mengya said faintly, "Aren't all the players saying that the Big Boss is challenging the Beast King? If you go, not only can you give it to him personally, you can also see his true strength."

"But… But that's just an exaggerated rumor. Everyone only saw him flying in that direction. Nobody truly believes that he was going to fight the Beast King," Luo Yao said.

"Well, it's not a big deal for you to teleport."

"That's…"

Luo Yao really couldn't refute Qing Mengya's suggestion. It wouldn't take too long to teleport back and forth. Plus, giving the item personally might put her on his good side.

"Alright," She nodded in agreement.

She took out the teleportation tool [Secondary Realm] and began to teleport.

[Secondary Realm (C): Able to teleport a specific distance in a particular direction with a 3 seconds delay. The maximum distance for one teleportation is (player level X2) kilometers. It can be used up to 10 times a day.

After using this item, she quickly arrived at the edge of the fifth stage of the main road, the "Turtleneck Rock".

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Little Luo Yao Trembling In Fear

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Golden Altar should be eight or nine hundred meters away north from here.

But as soon as Luo Yao arrived, the fierce wind almost blew her away before she could even open her eyes.

The strong wind howled loudly in her ears as it pushed her body back at full force, making it difficult for her to move or even hear anything else around her.

The wind here was powerful!

It was so big that the soil on the ground was blown up like a small sandstorm, making it difficult for her to see her surroundings.

Luo Yao didn't dare to stay any longer. She used the [Secondary Realm] again and teleported 2 kilometers back.

They were teleported from the edge of the Rocky Plateau to the center, which was much calmer and more peaceful.

She heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest soothingly, "That scared me to death. I thought I was going to be blown away." She said, the lingering fear still tainting her tone.

Luo Yao curiously looked up to the north.

For some reason, a terrifying storm had appeared there. The wind had swept up sand, grass, and trees at a low altitude.

They were like light garbage, going wherever the wind went.

"What's going on over there? Is it a natural disaster?" Luo Yao's slender brows slightly furrowed as a hint of doubt appeared in her pale golden eyes.

However, a tiny voice in the back of her mind rejected the idea as soon as it came. There shouldn't be any natural disasters on the beginners' map.

Deep in her soul, she could also feel Qin Mengya's confusion.

"Strange… Could this be a player's Skill? That can't be right. But with how big the affected area is… There's no way this is a beginner's map Beast King's doing, right?"

As the two of them continued to speculate, they noticed that the wind in the distance was getting weaker and weaker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few short breaths, the Golden Altar became quiet again.

When the sky full of sand and dirt slowly drifted down, Luo Yao could vaguely see a large white figure inside.

That was obviously the Beast King, the Super Bubble Monster.

Since it was so large, the monster's forty to fifty-meter form was easily spotted from a distance of more than two kilometers.

"That's weird…" Just as Luo Yao was thinking about what she should do next, she suddenly heard people's surprised voices not far away.

"That's great! The storm stopped as soon as we arrived. It seems like heaven itself wants us to go over!"

Luo Yao turned her head in the direction of the voice, and only then did she realize that there were a few more people a few dozen meters away.

They ran over excitedly towards the Golden Altar with small flying devices from the forum floating around them.

It was evident that these people had heard the rumors and wanted to see what was going on.

As for why they chose to investigate the scene now…

That was because they were all fighting monsters to level up. And with the spare time they had, they decided to make time to come and take a look.

"I wonder if the mysterious boss is there. If he's fighting the Beast King, we might be able to record his combat style."

"Don't get too close, or we'll be finished if the Beast King sees us."

"What's wrong? Aren't you level 10?"

"I don't have any…"

This group of people also noticed Luo Yao when they ran past her. They looked at her with surprise, then ignored her and continued running towards the fight.

Watching their backs as they left, Luo Yao pursed her lips into a frown.

She raised her head and looked at the sky. A trace of thought crosses her mind.

'I wonder if that mysterious Big Shot is here…'

However, before she could finish her thought, she saw a huge "meteorite" suddenly appear in the blue sky! 𝗇𝑜𝗏𝑬𝓵𝑢𝓈𝗯.𝕔𝚘𝐌

The core of the "meteorite" was a red ball of what seemed to be hot burning gas, while the golden flames enveloped it on the outside.

As soon as it appeared, the sky was illuminated by its golden color!

"That's the Big Boss' summoned meteorite!"

Luo Yao and the others didn't know the name of the Skill, so they only called it a meteorite.

"Then the Comet Boss must be nearby!"

While Luo Yao was pleasantly surprised, Qin Mengya, who was in the depths of her soul, widened her eyes in shock. She stared at the meteorite with a diameter of 800 to 900 meters and mouth open agape.

Five days ago, it had only been 30 meters!

"Wait, that's not right! This meteorite is ridiculously huge!" Luo Yao exclaimed.

But as soon as she commented, she was surprised to see another meteorite of the same size appear in another part of the sky two thousand meters away!

"Are we safe here? Should I move further away?" Even though she asked this out loud, her feet had already decided for her.

She didn't know how powerful the two meteorites would be when they fell one after another, but better be safe than sorry!

Fortunately, she had also added a lot of points to her agility so that she could run quite fast.

A beam of yellow light lit up behind her only four to five seconds later. It was as if it was going to light up the entire world. It was extremely bright!

Luo Yao didn't dare to turn around, afraid that her eyes would be burned into smithereens.

However, she still quickly takes cover behind a large rock.

Then, the ground began to shake!

She could feel that the area where the meteorite had fallen had exploded. She could imagine the scene when the flames would rise hundreds of meters high, and the heat would reach thousands of degrees in a short time…

Then a huge rumbling sound came from afar. It was like the angry roar from heaven and earth, shaking the ground where she hid.

Luo Yao was leaning her back against the stone, and she was itching to go out and take a look when things calmed down.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a shout from far and near in the air. She looked up and saw a shock wave with a large amount of grass and soil coming from behind.

The shockwave blew away all the sand and stones around her.

Within the shock wave, there were a few screaming figures.

"Looks like it's those few people who ran over earlier…"

Luo Yao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was glad that she had found this huge rock.

After the shock wave subsided, she would go out and see what the situation was like. Just as she thought about this, she suddenly heard a clear and melodious chime coming from the world.

Ding Dang Ding Dang~

Luo Yao and Qin Mengya were stunned. "A World Announcement!!?" They exclaimed in unison.

The first World Announcement was 13 years ago.

The last World Announcement was just a few days ago.

Luo Yao, Qin Mengya, and most people in the world thought that the next world announcement would be in a few years or even more than a decade.

However, no one ever expected that someone would trigger another World Announcement just a few days after the last one!

"Who is it this time? Don't tell me it's the big boss 01?" Luo Yao didn't have to wait too long for her answer.

In the next second, the World Announcement was made.

To their surprise, this World Announcement was a little different from the previous ones.

[World Announcement: Congratulations to the new District 66 for defeating the Beast King in less than a month!]

[Number of players on Expedition: 1]

[Time of Conquest: 2 hours and 55 minutes]

[You are rewarded with [Beginner-level Treasure Lottery Ticket ] X1, [Pure Food] X1]

[All players in the district are now awarded X100 gold coins and X100 EXP!]

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Map Upgrade – The Intermediate Map

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A monotonous voice resounded across the world, unhurriedly reciting the report.

While Luo Yao was still in a daze, a notification appeared in front of her.

[You have received 100 gold coins and 100 experience points]

She stared blankly at the message, and her eyes remained glued to the space as it disappeared.

It took her some moments before she gradually came back to her senses.

"This…" Luo Yao trailed off.

She did not know what to say.

To Luo Yao, this World Announcement was like hearing the news about an ordinary five-year-old child becoming the world's richest man due to their wit and intelligence.

Hearing such ridiculous news, anyone would be stunned before they gradually turned into disbelief.

"What! How is this possible?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Where did that kid get the money to run a business?"

"They're already learned how to write and do business at the age of five?"

"How could they make so much money at such a young age? How did they manage to do it in a short amount of time?"

Many people would find too many things to complain about.

And similarly…

Many players gathered together, complaining and refusing to believe what they had just witnessed. They were also trying to get her to join the discussion when they saw her.

Seeing this, Luo Yao could only sigh.

"Forget it," She said.

Luo Yao didn't care anymore. "Do whatever you want. I'll just do my own thing."

She rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, no longer wanting a chance to investigate this whole mess.

Although the World Announcement did not say who it was, everyone in the world knew that the person mentioned must be District 66 "Comet Boss".

There was no one else that would fit the bill.

"However,"

When she thought about how this Comet Boss had the strength to defeat the Beast King all on his own, Luo Yao couldn't help but feel excited.

"It seems like there's hope for District 87! This is great!" She jumped up in excitement.

It was also at this time that a few more pieces of notification appeared in front of everyone in District 66.

[District Announcement: The Beast King of this district has been defeated. This district's level has been upgraded to an intermediate map. Level 6- 10 Main road is open]

[Prompt: The original map has been expanded and updated. A new intermediate wilderness scene has been added.] 𝑵𝒐𝔳𝑒𝗅𝒰𝗌𝐁.𝔠𝒐𝕞

[Current Map Level Limit: 60]

[Prompt: You can enter the 'Great World' now!]

'Oh, that's right.'

'After defeating the beginner level Beast King, the contents of the intermediate level map will be released. Our map has been promoted to an intermediate map.'

Luo Yao didn't really care about the map's level-up prompts.

Her level was still low, so even if she advanced, it wouldn't affect her much.

And now…

She couldn't wait to find the Comet Boss!

…

[Remaining Time From Descent: 3 minutes]

"Haaaa…." Ling Yi let out a long sigh of relief, his body relaxing.

After nearly three hours of intense fighting, he was physically and mentally drained.

The constant chipping and defending and the stamina drain and restoration were taking a toll on him, and all he wanted to do now was to take a long nap.

'We finally killed the Beast King.'

Ling Yi couldn't help but feel lucky as he looked at the fallen Beast King that had turned into countless white light spots and disappeared into the sky.

He turned to look at the Ice Queen, who had flown back to his side, "Xiao Bing, it's all thanks to your [Frost Cell's Sky Prison Attraction] that we managed to win. Otherwise, killing it at the last moment would have been tough." He praised her.

The move had broken the [Bubble Shield, enabling his [Starfall] to land a direct hit and successfully hit a high damage output.

He didn't see exactly how much damage the [Starfall] had caused because the Beast King had already been submerged in a sea of fire by then.

In any case, the Super Bubble Monster had lost over 14.63% of its health after the explosion from the two [Starfall].

Hearing the praise, the Ice Queen's pure white eyes showed a touch of joy.

She nodded slightly and fixed her plain eyes on her master's face, carefully examining the latter's face.

After staring at him for a while, she turned her body into countless blue light dots and entered Ling Yi's body gently and slowly.

She could read her master's mind, know when to appear when to enter, and what her master wanted to do. She knew everything in his heart.

After the Ice Queen returned, Ling Yi wasn't in a hurry to summarize his spoils and gains. Instead, he shifted his gaze to a place a few kilometers away.

Through [Aeolus' Call, he could sense a few players nearby.

Among them, a familiar figure entered his field of vision before they suddenly disappeared.

If he was not wrong, that should be Luo Yao.

The wind from [Aeolus' Call] had remembered her physical characteristics when they met yesterday, which made it easier for him to recognize her approaching figure.

Ling Yi thought for a moment and decided to go over and take a look.

A few seconds later, that silhouette appeared again in the corner of his eye. Ling Yi flew straight over.

And he was right

"Eh? Big Boss, Big Boss! I'm here!" Luo Yao jumped up and waved her arms as soon as she noticed him approaching.

A gentle breeze blew across the ground, sweeping away the sand and dirt on the ground. Ling Yi slowly landed in front of her.

"Is there something you need from me? Are you already level 10?" He asked her the moment he landed.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Luo Yao nodded excitedly, "I just reached level 10, so I came straight over to give you what I promised you."

She took out [Heavenly Spring's Soul] from her inventory and handed it to Ling Yi.

It was an oval-shaped stone with a smooth surface, emitting a faint warm, yellow light.

Ling Yi reached out to take it. The stone slid into his palm like an egg that had just been scooped out of water. It was warm.

Interestingly enough, he held it in his hand and thought that he could use this stone as a hand warmer.

Luo Yao watched as the Comet Boss played with the stone in hand and sensed that the guy wasn't in a hurry, so she said, "Uhm, when do you plan to apply for the rescue plan? "

"Hmmm…" Ling Yi lowered his head as his mind raced to calculate the time.

'The Super Bubble Monster is considered the weakest Beast King. The five-crowned Dragon will be much stronger than the beginners' map monster king. Not only that, he would have to worry about the other small monsters of District 87. Not to mention the Boss and Elite monsters…'

"With my current strength, I can challenge the Beast King, but I'm still not confident if I could defeat it…"

While fighting the Super Bubble Monster, he realized that his current stamina was his significant disadvantage.

Battling against the Super Bubble Monster was still okay. He had a clear advantage this time because the Beast King couldn't fly or have any long-range Skills, so it was easy for him to avoid its attacks.

However, the same strategy or attributes couldn't be applied when he battled against the five-crested Dragon.

And who knows, the dragon might be smart enough to aim straight at him with or without the Ice Queen attacking it.

If he lost his stamina at the critical moment, all his efforts would be in vain.

This was something he had to put an end to!

He could choose to replicate the Ice Queen's endurance to solve this problem, but he was reluctant to give up this 900 points of mana.

"Mm…" After pondering for a while, he finally said, "I think I would have to wait a little longer. I have to increase my stamina a little more,"

"Ah, okay!" Luo Yao replied in a serious tone, "Yes. The stronger you are, the more confident you will be. After all, everybody only has one chance to apply for the rescue operation."

"Big Brother, you're the most promising person to be able to win this right now. As long as you take it slow, I can guarantee your high success rate. It would be such a pity if we were to be too anxious and end up failing."

Feeling a little scared that Comet Boss might think she was rushing him, she quickly added, "I'm not in a hurry, not at all. The ready you are, the better it'll be."

"Yes." Ling Yi nodded, and their conversation ended there.

There were only a few seconds left before the descent.

"Then, Big Brother, I'll see you next time? Bye Bye." Luo Yao smiled and waved at him.

After that, both of them disappeared from Turtleneck Rock.

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Where The Whole World Couldn't Sleep

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The moment he returned home, Ling Yi immediately used the daily roulette.

As his map had been upgraded to an intermediate map, the daily roulette had also been upgraded to an intermediate level.

The prizes inside had also undergone corresponding changes.

A few seconds later…

[Congratulations! You have received a reward from the daily wheel: [Solar Energy Absorber tool]

With the "Probability Reversal", he was very confident that even if it was not the best, it was still one of the better items in the entire intermediate roulette.

So, he opened the item's details with anticipation.

[Solar Energy Absorber (C): When placed under the sun, it can automatically absorb and store the sun's energy.

[1. Energy Collection Rate: 1 point per minute (Maximum Storage: 100 points).]

[2. Each point of energy can recover 1% of vitality.]

"Good stuff."

'But it'd be even better if I could recover my stamina.' Ling Yi thought as his hand moved to mutate it out of habit.

It had a high mutation potential, but it would cost him 32 mutation points.

He's not lacking in them, so…

A few seconds later, he opened it again.

[Solar Energy Absorber (C): When placed under the sun…

[ 1. Energy Collection Rate: 1 point per minute. No MAX storage.]

[ 2. Each point of energy can restore 1% of Hp or stamina.]

[3. It will take effect as long as it is placed in the user's rucksack. When the holder's vitality or stamina is reduced, it will automatically consume energy to recover.]

There is no maximum storage limit, and there is an additional function to restore stamina.

These two changes were within Ling Yi's expectations.

However, he did not expect it to be automatically activated if he placed it in his rucksack.

'Yes! Now, this is more convenient,' He nodded in satisfaction.

"It would be a hassle to keep opening and closing his rucksack menu whenever he needed it during battle. Its practicality will be greatly improved if it can be used automatically." Ling said with certainty.

'And if I can accumulate energy, then I will temporarily solve my stamina problem!'

If Ling Yi thought about it carefully, this tool could only temporarily solve his problem.

But if he wanted to solve his stamina problem, he had to start from the roots. He had to increase his attribute…

Otherwise, his stamina would drain all too quickly!

No matter how much stamina he had, it wouldn't be able to withstand the consumption if it remained the way it was.

"But, it's still better than before." Ling Yi sighed and looked out of the window.

It was still nighttime, and it was dark outside the window.

'Well, I have to wait till tomorrow if I want to test it out….'

After three hours of intense battle, he was dead tired.

So, after using up the mutated EXP Pearl, he quickly climbed onto the bed and slept.

…

As Ling Yi drifted off to dreamland…

The rest of the world couldn't fall asleep.

It was still difficult for them to recover from the few World Announcements they had just received.

In the streets and alleys, ordinary people came out of their houses to chat with their neighbors.

"Did you hear? This month's District 66 has already defeated the Beast King in just a few days!" An old man said to his friend next door. The two elderly men stood in front of their house as they talked.

"I heard, I heard! And only one person to boot! That person has challenged the Beast King and succeeded!" The other old man's eyes widened exaggeratedly.

"Yeah, I know. That's just amazing! We'll feel safe if that person is in our city!"

"That's true. He's so strong!"

A few middle-aged aunties nearby walked over and joined in the conversation.

"You must have heard the World Announcement too. What an outstanding player. It's been 20 years since God's Path descended, and I never knew a player with such a great amount of power."

"Even the strongest player in our world got killed by the Beast King when he was level 30. This one is much more powerful than him!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I wonder how many female players are attracted to this young man."

Surprised, the two old men quickly asked, "You know who that player is?" 𝓝𝒪𝑣𝞮𝗅𝐔𝐬𝒃.𝒞𝑜𝑀

"Oh my. Who else could it be?" A plump Auntie said as she put her hands on her hips. "District 66? Isn't that where the mysterious newcomer is from? There's no doubt. It could only be him."

"You mean the Ice and Flame Star Duo?"

"It's definitely him!"

"But aren't there two of them?"

"Maybe only one of them did it,"

In contrast to the elderly's straightforward and light-hearted chats…

The forum was in chaos!

Many players' worldview was already on the verge of collapsing. Their minds were in a mess, and some even began to doubt themselves.

At Shenxia's Capital…

A crystal chandelier hung high on the dome in a brightly lit living room. The light gold walls and the expensive calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls made the room look rich and magnificent.

At this moment, people were hurriedly entering from the front door one after another, like fish swimming in a busy ocean.

In the middle of the crowd, Luo Yao was like a student who came for an audition, sitting in a chair while facing an onslaught of questions from the elders.

"Did you really talk to him?" Luo Yuan asked his daughter, who was sitting across from him.

"Yes, I did." Luo Yao said, feeling a little helpless about her fate.

Whenever her father asked about the situation in her district, she would honestly tell him what happened, like the good daughter she was.

As a result, the entire family rushed over to confirm.

Now that she was facing a circle of elders, she could only obediently stay in her seat and succumb to her fate.

"Hurry up! Quickly tell us what happened." Her uncle Luo Zhantian asked curiously. In his excitement, he even pushed her father aside so he could sit across from her.

Seeing that it was her uncle, a man who held a higher position and was stronger than her father, Luo Yao's expression turned serious, "I should start from the beginning…" She began.

It took a few minutes before she told him about her experience in detail.

Which includes the part where she gave the Comet Boss a C-grade tool.

"So that's how it is."

After hearing this, the people around her nodded in understanding.

They immediately began to murmur to each other.

"So you didn't see who killed the Beast King?" Luo Zhantian asked slowly.

"Mm… All I saw was two meteorites landing on the ground. After that, the World Announcement popped out. The most likely player who could have done this was the Big Shot, which I think it was."

She remembered when that whole scene occurred. She hid behind a rock, so she could not confirm what had truly killed the Beast King.

"…You didn't ask him if he killed the Beast King?" Her Uncle continued.

"… I didn't ask because I thought it was obvious that he killed it,"

"Don't you have his contact information? Why don't you ask?"

"Uh… Alright then." Under her Uncle's questioning, Luo Yao felt she was being a little stupid.

And she didn't want to argue with the elders on this issue either.

As long as she did what they told her to do, the Comet Boss' answer wouldn't matter. The elders wouldn't be able to complain about her incompetence.

Plus… She didn't want them to nag her.
