"Thunder Rending Slash!"
"Sky Soaring Sword!"
"Thirteen Whips of Life!"
"Eighteen Consecutive Shovel!"
"End of Posterity!"
… …
In front of him, ghostly shadows appeared one after another. Crackling sounds could be heard as the dog's head was sent flying.
In less than two minutes, Jiang Nan Hun and the rest of the Water God Temple players were all lying on the ground.
"What a shame. I wanted to capture one of them alive for questioning, but it was too easy to kill them …" Flying Fire rubbed his nose and chuckled. Then he asked, "Scholar, how did you get chased by these bastards?"
I pointed at my own level. "Do you think a Level 21 player without a single piece of decent armor can resist the pursuit of dozens of fifth-promotion players?"
"Yeah, no!" Flying Fire shook his head strongly.
"That's why I could only run. Their archers even used a tracking mark on me, so I couldn't go invisible. Luckily, you guys passed by, or I would've dropped a level."
"Didn't you enter the Holy Domain?
Why did you drop to Level 21? "Sword Fire Ghostflame asked.
I immediately explained, "This is the price to pay for entering the Holy Domain. You have to return to zero and fuse with your equipment in exchange for all kinds of benefits, including condensing energy whirlpools and transforming into the Holy Domain."
"Wow, transforming?" Flying Fire drooled. "Don't tell me it's the move you used in the Nation War?"
"Yeah!"
Beauty Xun Meng immediately asked, "Scholar, can you transform for us to see?"
I smiled awkwardly. "Wouldn't that be a monkey show? No change!"
"Just transform? You're so stingy. I'm going to tell Ling Xue that she can't marry a stingy guy ~ ~"
"Fine, I'll transform."
My compromise was met with wild laughter from everyone. They stared at me with wide eyes.
It was late at night, so I exhaled and activated the transformation with my mind. A vast energy began to swirl around me. This time, I slowed down the transformation process so that everyone could see it clearly. I wanted to see it myself!
"Hua hua …"
Strands of icy blue aura rose up, blowing on my short cape and hair. The blue ice energy turned into spiritual flames that wrapped around me, burning fiercely. My hair flickered between bright and dark, finally turning into an indigo color. More importantly, after my transformation, a blue cyclone started to gather around me. When I stretched out my sword, the blade of the sword was also wrapped in a cyclone, making it look extremely resplendent.
"Wow, so handsome … so handsome …"
Xun Meng's eyes were glazed over. She wasn't being smitten, it was just that the cyclone transformation was a sight to behold. It didn't matter if it was a man or a woman, as long as they pursued power and beauty, they would definitely gasp in amazement.
I instantly stopped the transformation. It wasn't my style to show off to my own people.
Gui Zhi chuckled. "Scholar, can this move last?"
"Hmm, right now my Spiritual Energy Value can last for almost two hours, but it's hard to say in the future."
"Oh?
Only two hours? "
"Yes, after you use up your Spiritual Energy Value, you have to go offline to replenish energy, or else you won't be able to form a cyclone."
"Haha, I see. So handsome. I wonder if mages can transform."
"Should be able to!"
I nodded and laughed. "Everyone, work hard to level up. Let's try to have a few more Holy Domain experts on Snow Moon. When the time comes, not only will we take back Cool Breeze City, we will also take over the two main cities of America. Even if we don't want them, we will raze them to the ground and wipe away the shame of Cool Breeze City!"
"Yes!
Wipe away the shame! "
We raised our swords. Then, in the middle of the night, our eyes were bloodshot, but we still excitedly went to the Graveyard of the Gods.
I encouraged them. "Go, youngsters. The future belongs to you."
We vomited as we hurried on.
I smiled and went offline. I left my soul in the Holy Domain to absorb the spiritual energy of the Soul Flower. In short, every time I went online, my Spiritual Energy Value would be full, and every time I went offline, my Spiritual Energy Value would be empty. Only then would I be flawless.
… …
After I went offline, the girls in the workshop still hadn't woken up. I could only go to the kitchen and cook a bag of noodles. After eating, I went back to my room to sleep.
I slept all the way until the sun set. I got up and took a shower, feeling refreshed. Every time I thought about what happened in the game last night, I got angry. Wang Junjie really doesn't stop until I'm dead. He's always thinking of restraining my growth, and the early stages of the Holy Domain are the perfect time to do so.
I walked out of my room and saw the girls in the living room.
"What level are you?" Ling Xue asked with a smile.
“21。”
"Oh, pretty fast!"
"It's alright!"
Ling Xue smiled sweetly, but then revealed a regretful expression. She said, "When I was shopping today, I saw a person selling a Holy Domain Level 5 metal armor. It was Black Iron – grade, and its stats were pretty good. It was equivalent to Level 220 Heaven-grade equipment. Unfortunately, the price was too high, and I couldn't bear to buy it ~ ~"
"Ah?
How much? "
"A hundred thousand RMB!"
Ling Xue blinked, a trace of craftiness in her beautiful eyes. "I was afraid that you would blame me for wasting it after I bought it ~ ~"
I smiled and sat down next to Ling Xue. "Yes, it was right not to buy it. There will be a lot of this equipment in the future. Why buy it from someone else?"
Ling Yue shook her head. "No, the drop rate of Holy Domain equipment is very low, and they usually drop low-grade equipment."
I thought for a moment. "Never mind, I don't feel comfortable buying other people's equipment. It's more fun to get my own."
"Hehe, you're right."
I raised Ling Xue's cup and took a sip. Then, I asked with a smile, "Any news from Bing Cha?"
"Yes!"
Ling Xue nodded and said, "She changed her number and called me at noon today. We talked for five minutes. She's doing well, but she needs to rest and observe for a while before she can return to China."
"Oh, what about the medical expenses?
It'll cost a lot overseas, right?
Ling Yue, I think the workshop should pay for it. "
Ling Yue pursed her lips and smiled. "Forget it. I'm willing to pay, but the key is that they must be willing to buy the iced tea. Besides, the iced tea doesn't lack money."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Qin Yun giggled. "Stupid Scholar, don't you know?
Bing Cha's surname is Xu, and she's the young miss of the Xu Family, one of the two largest financial groups in Hangzhou. Do you think she lacks money? "
"Damn!"
My head was a little muddled. No wonder Ice Tea had such an extraordinary temperament. How could a girl from a normal family be able to treat money as if it were dirt?
Like me, in the past, I was proud and treated money like dirt. Money treated me like dirt. It was such a tragedy!
… …
Qin Yun asked with a smile, "Scholar, are you going to grind alone at night?
Why don't we bring you to the dungeon? "
My heart jumped, but I shook my head. "Thank you, but if I go, I will just be a burden. Maybe wait until I reach Holy Domain level 50 and equip the Red Cloud Sword, then we can go together. Right now, my Attack is really pitiful. I think it will be a problem for me to solo a small monster in Boneyard."
Ling Yue was speechless. "As pitiful."
Zi Yue asked, "Brother Scholar, since you want to grind faster, why don't you solo the dungeon?"
"Oh, solo the dungeon?"
I smacked my head. "Damn!
Why didn't I think of that? Haha, Zi Yue, you're too smart. I didn't think that you'd remind me today! "
Zi Yue giggled, and her chest trembled.
Just as Zi Yue said, since I was going to grind but was afraid of being chased by players, then I might as well grind in a dungeon. But, en, let's choose the Level 50 dungeon, Crystal Valley!
It required players to be Level 50 to enter, but I was Holy Domain, so I wasn't restricted. I could even enter the Graveyard of the Gods and Boneyard freely.
I hurriedly ate and went online to continue. Crystal Valley!
… …
Whoosh!
The red name rippled, and I appeared in Moonlight Forest. Fortunately, Crystal Valley was at the edge of Moonlight Forest, about half an hour away.
This time, to avoid trouble, I entered Shadowmeld and went in stealth. Although I was only Holy Domain Level 21, in reality, Holy Domain was above normal levels. Even Level 255 players might not be able to see through my stealth at close range!
After 45 minutes, I saw the gathering stone of Crystal Valley appear in front of me.
If I was solo, then there was no need to gather. Just enter!
A large river flowed east, passing through a narrow canyon. The entrance was shrouded in mist. This was a teleportation entrance. Once I stepped into the mist, I would enter an independent leveling ground. This was a dungeon!
My eyes lit up. There were green mountains and clear waters. A shallow stream pointed into the distance, and there were some small monsters beside the stream. The stream was divided into two parts, upstream and downstream. Kill two bosses, and you could get experience.
Solo, this was a OP term. It meant that the player's strength was far greater than the dungeon monsters, and they could solo.
As for me, I clearly didn't understand the meaning of solo.
Not far away, a Mutant Catfish was swimming in the water. It was a Level 55 elite monster, and its stats were a lot stronger. Naturally, killing it gave a lot of experience.
"Attack!"
I boosted my morale, dragged my sword, and charged forward. I used Shield Breaking Slash on the Mutant Catfish!
Crack!
“17632！”
It didn't die?
As expected, I couldn't use Cyclone. If I had transformed, this attack would have dealt at least a hundred thousand damage.
"Hiss hiss..."
The mutated catfish was enraged. It raised countless splashes and pounced at me. It opened its bloody mouth and covered the top of my head!
"Puchi!"
My whole body hurt, and my HP dropped!
“46762！”
Not good, my Defense is too low, I can't tank it at all!
The Mutant Catfish hit me twice more, and my HP hit rock bottom!
"Dragon Bind!"
"Divine Dragon Slash!"
After two hits, the Mutant Catfish fell to the ground with a scream, and dropped a gold coin.
I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. That was too dangerous. Melee was my current taboo, and I couldn't get any closer. I needed at least two more pieces of metal armor before I could talk about melee combat. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if I was killed by normal monsters in the dungeon.
I regained my footing, and this time, I didn't move forward. I took out my Hardwood Bow, and attacked from afar!
"Thunder Arrow!"
Puchi, the monster's HP dropped by a third. It let out a roar, swam to the shore, and jumped toward me.
"Stun Arrow!"
After stunning the monster with one hit, I hurriedly retreated, and waited for 6 seconds for Double Tap to cool down. Then, I fired five shots in a row!
"Hiss hiss..."
The Mutant Catfish fell to the ground, and dropped a pair of pitch-black metal armor boots.
Delighted, I immediately went forward and picked them up. Damn, Level 45 Black Iron – grade metal armor boots! Ignore!
Continuing with the previous strategy, I used Thunder Arrow to paralyze, then stun, and finally kill the enemy with five shots in a row. The long-range one-shot style was very handy!
… …
Ling Xue, Ling Yue, Qin Yun, and the other girls took the main players of the guild to the Graveyard of the Gods. They leveled up very quickly there, and Ling Xue's Ice Bones set and Wrath of the Sword and Shield could barely kill the final boss. Dragon Soul, Shadow Follower, and the others could also complete the Godslayer set.
The God Slaying Set is a high-grade Immortal Artifact Set that specializes in both offense and defense. If our guild can nurture seven or eight players with the God Slaying Set, then these people will be able to put a lot of pressure on the enemy during the Nation War.
Numbers were important in the Nation War, but sometimes experts couldn't be ignored either.
This was just like the cold weapon wars of ancient times. No matter how many soldiers there were, they still needed a general to lead them. The general leading the army could kill the enemy's general with a roar. This would boost the morale of the soldiers and allow them to press forward. In the war in the game, the top players played the role of a general!
I relied on my long-range one-shot style to kill the mobs while opening the Level Rankings. It had been many days since I last checked them, and the rankings had changed —
1. Frivolous Scholar L21 (Holy Domain) Dragon Speaker
2. Breeze Catches the Moon L254 Ice Mage
3. Solitary Grave L250 Dragon Knight
4. Windy Snow L250 Ice Swordsman
5. A Speck of Dust L247 Dragon Warrior
6. Shadow Follower L245 Swordsman
7. Zi Yun 'er L245 Holy Priest
8. Hellfire L245 Storm Warrior
9. Bing Zhiyi L244 Dragon Knight
10. Bing Cha L244 Thunder Swordsman
11. Magic Cube of Fate L244 Magic Archer
12. Fleeting Time L244 Dragon Knight
13. Little Butterfly L243 Star Moon Priest
14. Han Xin L242 Fengshui Master
15. Chrysanthemum Daohana L242 Soul Wizard
… …
Although I was only Level 21, I was at the top of the Heavenly Ranking. Ling Yue, at Level 254, had taken second place. One more level and she might enter the Holy Domain. Of course, it was only a possibility. The reason I was able to enter the Holy Domain without any obstacles was because I was the MVP of the Nation War. It was just a reward. Ling Yue's situation was very different. Perhaps she would have to pass some tests to enter the Holy Domain.
Xue Yue Studio had rested for a few days and hadn't come online. Ling Xue's level had been surpassed by Uncle Solitary Grave. The expert from Clear Breeze City, A Speck of Dust, had entered the Top 5 for the first time.
The Shadow Follower, Magic Cube of Fate, and Snow Moon's Twin Dragon Knights had all leveled up rapidly. In terms of expert strength, Snow Moon was still the king of the China server.
However, our poor Bing Cha hadn't come online for a long time due to her illness. Her level had fallen behind by a lot, and she was only Level 244 right now. She was ranked tenth on the Heavenly Ranking.
I opened the World Ranking again. There were foreign players who had reached Level 255, but they hadn't ascended to the Holy Domain. They were probably stuck.
Heh, who cares. It would be best if only China could enter the Holy Domain!
… …
An hour or so later, I had reached the end of the upper reaches of Crystal Valley. After taking out the last mobs, I leveled up. Yep, I was Level 23 now. This leveling speed was acceptable!
The first boss appeared in front of me. It was a fish-headed monster covered in silver scales.
I shivered when I saw this. Damn, please don't drop a Silver Scale Chest Armor for me!
