I summoned the system elf and switched the video to the top right corner of my game interface. Now, I could kill mobs and watch Lin Yixin's video at the same time.
To my surprise, it was going to be a field battle at the center of Dragonbone Mountain Range. Lin Yixin's opponents were none other than Little Piglet and Shangguan Wan 'er. Little Piglet was Level 150, and he had transformed into a Cold Wind Knight. Moreover, he had brought a dozen or so magic knights with him. Vajra, the Famous General Skill that increased their Defense by 200%, was activated.
In the video, Lin Yixin could be seen riding the Frostscythe Warhorse confidently and summoning a giant beast. It was none other than Kris, the Ice Dragon I had gifted her. However, Lin Yixin didn't summon her ice dragon into battle. Instead, she commanded it to fly high into the air. The next moment, Lin Yixin crossed her sword in front of her chest and stood there elegantly. Cyan lotus petals appeared around her, and as they fell to the ground, a ring of light formed beneath the Frostscythe Warhorse's feet. It was the legendary Great Earth Transformation!
And then … what happened next was a horrible massacre. Lin Yixin didn't even use her Divine General Skills. She simply used Great Earth Transformation to bully her opponents. Even Little Piglet was cut down in front of everyone, and Shangguan Wan 'er was sent flying off a cliff by an Ice Flame Slash. Fans of the novel loved to watch.
… …
The video was less than three minutes long, but it was enough to shock me. Little Piglet and Shangguan Wan 'er's attacks didn't seem to affect Lin Yixin at all. Cyan ripples of light spread out from their blades when they struck her armor, and Lin Yixin's Great Earth Transformation reduced their attack power by at least 75%. Shangguan Wan' er's Blade Vortex didn't even deal more than 4000 damage in total.
On the other hand, Lin Yixin's attacks were buffed by Great Earth Transformation, and the Blade of Violet Lightning was surrounded by cyan lotus petals. It was a beautiful sight to behold, but it was also incredibly lethal. Almost every attack was unstoppable, and Little Piglet's health dropped like crazy. In the end, Lin Yixin's Ice Flame Slash pierced right through his body and killed him!
The Divine General really was an invincible existence!
My heart skipped a beat. Becoming a Divine General meant learning Great Earth Transformation. Lin Yixin's transformation was beautiful, but if a male character used those lotus petals … Ugh, I want to die...
God bless me, I hope that I don't get this kind of attack when I'm comprehending Great Earth Transformation. Otherwise, I won't want to live.
… …
The video was full of comments after it was over. Everyone was expressing their admiration for the Fruit Knife Goddess's strength and desire for her beauty. Little Piglet's magic knight party was, without a doubt, ridiculously high Defense. During the war against Flower Room at Dragonbone Mountain Range, Flower Room's ten-man party fought against a hundred-man party out in the open thanks to Little Piglet's Defense and skill. Despite that, they were able to annihilate Flower Room's core party without suffering any casualties. Vajra's 200% Defense was absolutely terrifying.
Little Piglet was a household name in Sky City. He was one of the few Famous Generals in Sky City, and his skill and equipment were top-tier. In fact, he was said to be on par with the Dragon Warrior and Farewell Song. But now, Lin Yixin was using Little Piglet, a mobile fortress, as a test subject, and using Great Earth Transformation for the very first time, and beating him to the point where he couldn't even take care of himself anymore was a shocking feat. Even though Snowy Cathaya hadn't participated in the battle of Immortality City, no one dared to question their strength and status in Sky City. Fans of the novel loved to read the story.
I thought for a moment before leaving a simple message on the 2987283 building: "Do your best, Little Knife. I'll love you forever ~ ~"
My heart immediately warmed when I thought about it. It wasn't long before a couple of people replied to my message in astonishment — "Wah, isn't that Lu Chen?
Is he openly confessing his love to the Fruit Knife Goddess? "
"It's over. Lu Chen is the one who's going to make a move …"
"Brothers, let's go kill Lu Chen and take back our Fruit Knife Goddess!"
… …
I was a bit speechless, but I received a notification that the OP had replied to me. It was Lin Yixin. She saw my message and replied with a quote: "Heehee, do your best too, Little Cheat. PS, I don't love you ~ ~"
I was hurt and replied, "Xiao Dao, I miss you …"
Lin Yixin replied, "Focus on grinding …"
I was speechless. Lin Yixin sent me a smiley face emoticon and logged out of the forums. I logged out as well because I needed to focus on grinding. The Little Dragon Maiden was a pretty strong player, and a single misstep could cost us our lives. Everyone had worked so hard to get to where they were, and it would be heartbreaking if they dropped a level.
… …
Our swords danced wildly as we ravaged the middle region of Dragonlight Canyon. Everyone was having a great time.
Time flew by, and the night was gone in the blink of an eye. When it was past 10 am, we had finally explored almost all of the middle region of Dragonlight Canyon. I had killed at least 4000 Little Dragon Maidens, and my level had skyrocketed to 155. He Yi, Murong Mingyue, Beiming Xue and Moonlight Stone had also leveled up by 2 or 3 times each. Our leveling speed was so fast that the players outside of the map were probably going to go crazy. Everyone else was just watching like normal.
"Ugh, I'm so sleepy …" He Yi brushed her hair aside and sheathed the Blade of the Earthen Soul. We couldn't see any Little Dragon Maiden anywhere near us, and it looked like the battle was about to end. She stared at me with wide eyes and smiled. "Lu Chen, look at me! Are my eyes red after staying up all night? Do I look like a little bunny?
I couldn't help but laugh. I put an arm around her shoulder and said, "You do look like a bunny, but I've never seen such a beautiful bunny before. Let's go turn in the quest, shall we?
Once we're done, we can log out of the game and go to sleep. We need to log back in before 8 pm sharp and continue grinding. We haven't even explored 50% of Dragonlight Canyon yet, so there's still a lot of loot waiting for us! "
Beiming Xue nodded with a smile. "Mn, it's so fast to level up here. Also, the Dragonblade set aside, we got a lot of top-tier Spirit-grade and Purple Gold – grade equipment too. Hoho, we can set up a stall for an entire week once we get out of Dragonlight Canyon and earn tens of thousands of RMB every day!"
I felt gratified when I saw Beiming Xue's hopeful smile. "How's everyone's supplies? Do you guys have enough supplies to continue?"
"Not really …" He Yi looked at her equipment and said, "The Blade of the Earthen Soul only has 30% durability left, and my gauntlets are completely rotten …"
"Me too …" I pointed at my legguards and grinned. "I'm watching you fight with your thighs bare!"
"Fuck …" The girls stared at my lower body and said, "What's the big deal about fighting with your thighs bare? Eve's chest armor is almost broken, and she's fighting with her 34D breasts exposed. Now that's what you call awesome …"
I glanced at He Yi's chest and saw that her armor was in tatters. It couldn't hide her alluring curves at all. Seeing me staring at her, He Yi quickly pulled up her cloak to cover herself up before glaring at me. "OMG, why are you looking at me so seriously? We need to go back to the city and restock. We'll come back at 8 pm tonight. The teleportation gate won't disappear for 72 hours, right?"
Beiming Xue nodded. "Yeah. I have less than 30 stacks of Iron Arrows left. It's not enough for the upcoming battle …"
"Okay, let's return to the city and rest up after we turn in the quest. We'll continue at night!" I gave the highest order as the party leader.
He Yi asked, "Lu Chen, how many Dragonblade sets have we collected?"
"Let me see …"
I counted for a moment before replying with a smile, "27 sets in total. Hehe, not bad …"
"Mn mn. Have you decided who you want to equip?"
"They have to be riders at least, and they have to be at least Level 150 Earthfire Realm players. There should be a lot of people like that in the Cyan Tiger Cavalry."
"Mn. Let's make a list and go over it together!"
“OK！”
… …
That was why I started drafting a list of 27 fighters while we hurried back to the temporary camp. Chaos Moon, High Fighting Spirits, Xu Yang, Gui Guzi, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Heaven's Rain, and Diamond Dust were all on the list. The two Famous Generals of the Foot of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, A Lazy Cat and Yama Slayer, were pretty high leveled and had good mechanics. They were both rookies in the guild. As for Li Chengfeng, he was a dragon warrior who was very good at solo boss fights, so it was only natural that his equipment would be better than the Dragonblade set. He Yi, on the other hand, wasn't on the list either because we were going to run into even stronger bosses in the future. Outstanding Earth-grade equipment wouldn't be a problem, and an inferior set of Earth-grade equipment would definitely be a lot stronger than the Dragonblade set.
After we arrived at the temporary camp, I handed in the 200 Draconian Scales required for the quest. These scales were plucked from the butt of a young Draconian girl, so I had to be very careful when I handed them in. The NPC party leader praised me like crazy, and the rewards were all experience and gold. I was a little disappointed that I didn't receive any equipment.
To my surprise, Moonlight Stone was the only one who received equipment from the quest. She was a 1-star Outstanding Earth-grade shield that I planned to sell for some money. He Yi's shield was much stronger than hers.
… …
"Alright, let's return to the city!" He Yi said with a smile.
"Mn!"
Everyone took out their return scrolls, and five beams of starlight appeared at the center of Dragonlight Canyon the next moment. The five of us were teleported back to the city.
Swhoosh!
My eyes lit up. Returning to the bustling Sky City made me feel especially at home. He Yi smiled at me and said, "Go ahead and distribute the equipment. Mingyue and I will go offline first and order some food. We'll sleep after lunch or our bodies won't be able to take it."
"Mn, go ahead!"
After He Yi, Beiming Xue and Murong Mingyue logged out of the game, I created a new party and added all 27 players on the list.
"Let's meet at the eastern plaza!"
"Okay …"
It didn't take long for everyone to show up.
"Eh?
What's going on, Lu Chen? "Chaos Moon asked in surprise.
Gui Guzi was just as surprised. "Yeah, almost all of our Level 150 + players are here. Is Boss Broken Halberd planning something big?"
I smiled. "Of course. It's good news. Take a look at this first!"
I sent the stats of the Dragonblade set to the party channel. Chaos Moon, Heaven's Rain, Diamond Dust and everyone else immediately gasped in surprise.
