The next afternoon.
I opened the official forums of Spirit of Grief and saw a huge title on the front page: Gale City Destroyed, Snow Moon Dominates the Outer Lands, Holy Helm City Withdraws All Leveling Teams from Gale Valley, Retreat!
Then, there was a subtitle: Frivolous Scholar Single-Handedly Slaughters Gale City, Heaven Domain Players Show Their Strength, One Man Against A Thousand, Unstoppable!
I couldn't help but smile when I saw this. "Very good, I've made a name for myself!"
I checked my account information and found that the S5s and Earth Divine Armaments I put up for sale yesterday were all sold out. This time, I unexpectedly made a fortune. I had over 17 million RMB in my account, greatly increasing the equipment standard of the top players in the China server. Of course, this was at the cost of Gale City's decline.
It wasn't hard to imagine that if these Japanese players came to Clear Breeze City, they would be able to stir up a storm of blood and carnage. If they decided to risk their lives and attack us, even a speck of dust wouldn't be able to stop them. Now that I had eliminated these forces, there was no doubt that I had eliminated a huge threat to the China server.
I continued to scroll down and found a warning from the author: Gale City definitely hasn't given up. In fact, a secret organization called "Wind Demon Altar" is starting a quest called "God Slaying"!
The experts of the two Heavenly Domains of the China server must be careful. Gale City's revenge may have already infiltrated the China server.
… …
"Wind Demon Altar?" I frowned. "What's that?"
I opened the webpage and typed in Wind Demon Altar. Search!
Then, I was shocked —
Wind Demon Altar: A legendary organization in the Japanese gaming world. It has recruited batches of top experts that have appeared in Japan over the past twenty years. Among them are Eternal Moon's number one assassin "Tian Yi", Hegemon's number one mage "Wind Soul", Eternal Moon's number one warrior "Mountain Eagle", Eternal Moon's number one archer "Snow Cherry", and Spirit of Grief's number one warrior "Divine Might". Top players like Divine Might were recruited into Wind Demon Altar. This made it a very mysterious organization. Any player who joined Wind Demon Altar would start hiding their identity, and their level would no longer increase. As for whether these legendary experts joined Spirit of Grief, no one knew.
"Eternal Moon's number one assassin, Tian Yi …"
I thought back to the battles during the Eternal Moon Struggle. At the time, I was ordered to defend the City of Life, and that was where I met my sister. The first time I met my sister was when she was killed by someone. That person was none other than Tian Yi, the legendary assassin of Japan!
The first time I clashed with Tian Yi, I was at a complete disadvantage. My equipment, skills, and mechanics couldn't be compared to his and I almost died. Later on, after participating in several international competitions, my level, equipment, skills, and mechanics finally increased. But when I went to Gale City again, Tian Yi had already joined the Wind Demon Altar and was no longer participating in the Nation Wars.
"Tianyi, will you appear again?"
I sighed and actually had some hope in my heart. Now that I had reached the peak of my career, I really looked forward to the appearance of someone like Tian Yi.
As for Wind Soul, Mountain Eagle, Snow Cherry, Divine Martial, and the others, they were all very mysterious players. They disappeared in a flash, just like Divine Martial. After participating in the WSL, he never appeared again. This made me even more suspicious. What was the intention of this mysterious organization, Wind Demon Altar?
I leaned against the chair and thought for a while. Let's enter the game first. If Wind Demon Altar really wanted to send a mysterious assassin to attack me and Ling Xue, then I had no choice but to deal with it.
I took the helmet and entered the game.
Whoosh!
A suit of armor appeared in Heavenly Key City. After yesterday's battle, Japan had fallen. America and India were on guard and retreated a little. Lin Shuang's persuasion seemed to have some effect. England, Canada, and other small countries of the Holy Helmet Alliance did not make much of a move.
Ling Xue sent a message: "I'm bringing Big Sister, Sister Qin Yun, Zi Yue, and Silent Rain to the Quiet Spring Demon Palace to get the Quiet Spring Equipment Set. We'll try to get Zi Yue and Silent Rain a Quiet Spring set. Go on your own!"
"Yeah, I had fun!" I replied simply.
Right at that moment, Shadow Follower sent a message: "Scholar is online?
Do you have any plans today?
If not, then come to S6. We're missing one strong main tank! "
I smiled and replied: "Party me!"
With a "ding", I entered the party. There was a party of five. Shadow Follower, Nangong Yuexi, Magic Cube of Fate, Snow Sight Grass, and me. A purely physical party. There wasn't even a mage. But it didn't matter. Now that I had the North Nether Sword, along with the inheritance transformation, S6 shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The four of them were already at the border of Nuwa God Palace. Nangong Yuexi smiled. "Originally, the Great Swordsman was in the party, but something came up. It seems like his sister is about to give birth, so we're missing one. Scholar, we'll have a higher chance."
I immediately summoned the T-Rex and flew over. We crossed the map at lightning speed and arrived at the Nuwa God Temple not long after. I jumped down and the T-Rex let out a roar. It turned into a ray of cyan light and appeared on my arm. I had already merged with my mount. My stats didn't decrease, but I could still fight on the ground.
"How do we split the equipment?" I asked with a smile.
Shadow Follower said, "Beauty Lexi and I will roll for the armor. Leather armor goes to Magic Cube, cloth armor to Snow Sight Grass. What, Scholar, you don't want it too, do you?"
Nangong Yuexi smiled. "Then if there's a top-tier weapon, give it to Scholar?"
I shook my head and said, "Don't cut it, I don't want anything. It's my duty to train, hehe ~ ~"
"Then pick up some gold. At least we can earn back the money to repair our equipment …" Nangong Yuexi smiled wickedly.
"Alright, then the gold is mine!"
I thought for a moment and said, "Also, I want the Fire Soul Essence, the Frost Soul Essence, and the Lightning Soul Essence!"
"Yes, no problem!"
These were things they had never thought about. Up until now, only the main force of Xue Yue Studio had ever cleared S6. The rest of the players had never even seen a Lightning Soul Essence before, much less a Spirit of Grief Gem. As for me, I had already fused two Spirit of Grief Gems. Soul + 2 meant that all my stats increased by 10%. It was undoubtedly very powerful.
Walking beside me, the beautiful priest said with a smile, "Scholar, why don't you transform?
Then we can all get a share of the war aura. It's a 20% increase in Attack! "
Shadow Follower and Nangong Yuexi laughed in unison. "Yes, yes!
Hurry up and transform! Scholar, you can clear the game in your transformed state. This way, we'll be even stronger! "
I nodded and pressed the [Inheritance] button. In an instant, the world around me turned dark. Blood-red light pierced through the clouds and fell on my body. At the same time, a pair of blood-red wings spread out behind my back. My entire aura changed, and murderous intent rose from my body. Even my eyes turned purple.
"OMG, so handsome …"
Nangong Yuexi's eyes were misty. She said with a smile, "Guild leader, you're the most handsome guild leader …"
"Yes, compared to Seven-star Lamp and Solitary Grave, Scholar is the most handsome!" Xue Jian Cao expressed his opinion.
I felt a bit ashamed. In terms of looks, I couldn't compare to Wang Junjie or Xun Fang. It was all because of my hands that were good at killing.
"Let's go, into the dungeon!"
I led the way into the first floor of S6. The Fire Monkey was jumping around.
"Careful, this thing's Attack is very high!"
Dark Shadow Drifter licked his lips and said carefully, "The last time we were here, we even got annihilated once. It was so embarrassing!"
"Really?
You guys are too weak … "
I laughed and rushed forward. I raised my North Dark Sword and slashed three times!
The inheritance whirlwind howled, and the Fire Monkey screamed —
“3748583！”
“3755954！”
“3647585！”
The Fire Monkey fell to the ground and dropped a Fire Soul Essence. It was an instant kill!
Nangong Yuexi and Xue Jian Cao's mouths fell open. "This … isn't this too overbearing?
Such a high-level warsong monster can be killed in an instant … "
Magic Cube of Fate put away his longbow and said with a smile, "Are you kidding me? The person standing in front of us is the temple inheritor who single-handedly swept through Storm City. These Fire Monkeys are like floating clouds!"
"Cough cough …"
Continuing, the few of us killed all the Fire Monkeys on the first floor like a whirlwind. 10 Flame Soul Essences appeared in my bag.
Next, we reached the first floor boss, Fire God Zhong Li!
"Careful, we got wiped 28 times here last time!"
Shadow Follower gritted his teeth and said with lingering fear, "This boss's Flame Combo is very powerful. The Holy Domain Whirlwind can't stop it at all. It doesn't weaken it at all."
"Let me try!"
I stepped forward and swung my sword at Fire God. I pushed aside the Beast Soul Essence with the North Dark Sword and used a special attack on Fire God!
"Roar!"
Ice Soul hit Fire God's body with a huge amount of damage. Zhong Li growled as he lost a huge chunk of HP!
“6038473！”
"Damned brat, I'm going to turn you into ashes!"
Fire God retaliated angrily. His spear danced wildly and turned into red pear blossoms that stabbed at my Heaven's Shield!
Bang bang bang bang!
Sparks flew everywhere as damage numbers popped up —
“372874！”
“342848！”
“376464！”
… …
I was overjoyed when I saw this. As expected, the Legacy Whirlwind had greatly increased my Defense. I could kill this Fire God Zhong Li 1v1 without any pressure!
"Xue Jian!
Let's use Elegy when my HP is less than 20%! "I shouted.
Xue Jian Cao nodded and smiled. "Understood, I'll support you. Don't worry!
Rubik's Cube, Lexi, hurry up and deal damage. That way, we'll fight faster! "
Nangong Yuexi and Rubik's Cube of Fate were both super archers. They immediately pulled away from Fire God Zhong Li and rained arrows on him.
Although the Shadow Follower couldn't tank the boss head-on, he could use his superb mechanics to hack at the boss's back. Once the boss turned around, all I could see was the Shadow Follower's back. I was slightly surprised by this. As expected of a top-tier expert, not only were their attacks and mechanics top-notch, their escape skills were also unparalleled.
