Chapter 102

1!

Ha . My 1022 defense is too high and the bear can only take 1 point off of my health .

Immediately, I unequip my Dawn Breastplate and Fire Beacon Helmet . My defense steeply falls . Now, the Grizzly Bear’s attacks do 10 or more points of health . After it hits me several more times, I use [Heal] to fill my HP back up which attracts a great amount of aggro . I keep an eye on the aggro bar and once it reaches 40%, I yell: “Start attacking now!”

Old K raises his battle axe and uses [Fire Axe] & [Heavy Strike] on the Grizzly Bear’s head . It seems to tickle it——

31!

18!

Song Han remains silent and brings his dagger up to the Grizzly Bear’s back . He quickly stabs the bear on the back while using the skill [Bleed] . The dagger tip shines and stabs into the back of the Grizzly Bear . As expected, an Assassin’s penetration really does surpass that of a Berserker .

41!

49!

From far away, Fox aims his firearm which is quickly loaded with gunpowder and then is fired . With a “Bang”, a bullet bursts forth . The air fills with the smell of gunpowder as the Grizzly Bear howls in grief . The Bear’s HP falls by 12 . It seems that Fox’s attack power is the worst of the team, but nothing can be done as a musketeer’s advantage is in its superiority in range . In the early levels, his attack power is pretty bad .

Looking at the Grizzly Bear, I see his HP falls below 95%!

“Clang!”

I unsheathe my Jade City Sword and behead the bear with a Level 4 [Wind Blade]!

1217!

… . .

“Wow……”

They stare at me with a stupefied expression . Song Han asks: “Brother Xiao Yao, what was that attack? That was so strong! What is your upper bound for attack damages?”

1300!

“OP!” Old K sticks up his thumb at me .

Fox laughs: “This way of leveling is pretty good . In that one kill, I got 30+% of my Level’s Experience . Let us continue!”

“Ok!”

I step forward, attract the attention of another Grizzly Bear and repeat our strategy from before . This strategy is pretty unusual . First, it requires that I have a high enough attack power . Then, I need a way of substantially attracting aggro while not attacking the monster with any skills . Only two types of skills can fulfill this requirement . One is my [Heal] skill or any Healer’s ability; the other is a Monk’s [Put Down Your Sword] . With any other skill, it would not attract enough aggro and when the novices attack, they would take aggro and die in an instant .

When the third Grizzly Bear fell, the three got to Level 11 . Song Han adds all of his stat points into agility, because the main damage of the Assassin class comes from their agility . For Assassins and Musketeers, the ten stat points in agility not only raises their attack speed and critical strike chance but also increases about 5-8 points in attack which is why they add their points to agility .

Slowly killing our way through the jungle, we made our way up to monsters that were Lv 34…

… .

Seven o’clock AM arrives .

“Shua!”

A light glows around them and my three friends reach Lv 19 . Everyone looks so excited . Song Han laughs: “I would not have expected our levels to rise so rapidly . At first, I had thought we needed 24 hours to reach Lv 20 but it only took 10 hours!”

I look at my bruised body . The one who has been taking the brunt of the damage all night was me!

Fox laughs and pats my shoulder: “There is no other way . Since you are [Zhan Long]’s boss, you have to pay the price… . . ”

I wave my hand: “Let’s keep going . We will strive to raise you guys above Lv 22 by this morning . After that, you guys can go back to the city to equip the equipment that I gave you . With the new equipment, you should not need me to help leveling anymore . Oh right! Did you guys get the Ba Huang City crest yet?

“Yes, we all acquired the crest!”

“Very well, lets continue!”

……

In a flash, it was 10 in the morning . The three of them were all Lv 21 and not far from Lv 22 but I had fallen into a semi-conscious state . I haven’t slept for a very, very long time and my mental state just cannot stand up to this abuse . This was very much like in the past where I had to wait while not moving a single muscle for 48 hours without moving to ambush drug lords . My body had have been covered in dew and when snakes started to slither in front of my face, it became even more unpleasant . Finally I completed the mission with a ultra long-ranged snipe that killed the drug lord . Just talking about it makes me miss my AWSM Arctic Sniper Rifle; I haven’t touched it in several years, I don’t know if I’m rusty or not . .

Thinking about this, I can’t help but laugh . Haven’t I given up such a blood drenched life? Moreover, playing with a few brothers in game, conquering the world, this easy life is the life I really want . Not to mention that I also have a beautiful lady by my side . I wouldn’t trade this life for anything!

Thinking about Lin Wan Er, I can’t stop but smile as I remember our encounter at the company . Thinking about it, it was actually pretty sad that she had never had a boyfriend before and I had already seen her naked . Then she was forced to hold her grudges toward me as I became her bodyguard . I really don’t know how she got through that but at least her mood toward me is starting to change, this is a good beginning .

“Hey… . ”

Fox’s voice brought me back to reality, he smiles slightly: “Boss, you’ve finally finished fantasizing, now you can continue leveling up . ”

My face turned red: “Leave!”

“Ha Ha Ha… . ”

……

After killing only a few more monsters, a message arrives from the beautiful Miss with a “beep”: “Li Xiao Yao, did you stay up the entire night?”

“Wan Er, whats wrong?” I ask .

Lin Wan Er reluctantly says: “Are you trying to kill yourself? When was the last time you slept? Go log off and sleep for a bit!”

“Later I need to play an hour more… . . ”

“Are you with, Glass Fox, Ran Min, and Song Han leveling?”

“Yeah, I’m the leader of [Zhan Long], so I have to take responsibility…… . ”

“So, what level are they at?”

“They are at Lv 21, I probably don’t need to help them to Lv 22, and I gave them some pretty good equipment . Rushing to Lv 30 in three days is no problem, and after that, I won’t be of much use helping them . ”

“Ah, umm ……” The beautiful Miss hesitates .

I cannot help but smile: “Wan Er, whats wrong?”

“Well ……” Lin Wan Er leisurely says: “I made an appointment with Dong Cheng Yue in the afternoon to go to a gym outside of the school to play indoor tennis . We will go by ourselves, you should have a good rest!”

I immediately say: “No, I will go with you . If your Dad found out that I let you go alone out of the school, I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to kill me, and I don’t want to die young ……”

Lin Wan Er after a while says: “You’re already as tired as a dog, I don’t want to keep bothering you… . . ”

“I’m fine, isn’t it a indoor tennis court? I can nap on the sidelines ……”

“Okay, we’ll meet up at 11 and go eat first, then we will head over!”

“Okay…… . ”

……

At exactly 11, Glass Fox, Hero Ran Min, and Wolf Totem all reached Lv 22 .

“Clang!”

Returning my Jade City Sword to its sheath, I inhale a deep breath of fresh air: “Wan Er was right, I’m tired . Let’s return back to the city to equip the new weapons and armors . You three, with a random healer can level in decent maps around Ba Huang City unhindered . Keep it up . In three days time try to rush to Level 30 . In addition, pay attention to your Skill Proficiency Level . In order to keep up at high levels, you cannot neglect any skills . Since <> made the skill, it certainly must be useful . When you’re Lv 30, all the skills need to be at Level 4 . This is a necessity!”

Song Han nods: “Yeah, Xiao Yao is indeed tired . We’re going offline to rest for a while too and we’ll continue training in the afternoon . Xiao Yao, have a good sleep!”

“Okay!”

Taking out a [City Return Scroll], the four return back to town together . I immediately go offline . They go to equip their new equipment, each eager to give the new equipment a try . Next, they’ll each go their separate ways to level .

……

I went offline and underneath the girl dorm were two female students, Li Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue . They were standing alongside under the street light discussing and smiling pleasantly . Combined with the withered maple leaves by the roadside, an extraordinary aesthetic scene forms .

I look at the distance, rooted at the spot and my heart aches . Hopefully this beautiful scene will never be torn apart . Unconsciously clenching my fist, the bottom of my heart secretly reminds myself: Protect this with your life .

“Xiao Yao?” Dong Cheng Yue finds me and waves her hand toward me: “Don’t just stand there in a daze, come to lunch with us . I’ll pay today…”

I approach: “Well this is rare, I didn’t know Dong Cheng’s dictionary would actually have the words: I’m paying ……”

Dong Cheng Yue’s cheeks redden: “Of course, I’m getting embarrassed from leeching off you guys . The girls in the girls’ dorm call me Leeching Cheng . Hmph, am I that kind of person?”

The corners of Lin Wan Er’s mouth raise: “Stop chatting, lets go to lunch already …… Li Xiao Yao, I asked around and it seems that next to the tennis court there is a resting area which provides blankets, beds, and other things where you should go have a good rest . Dong Cheng Yue and I will play for a long time . ”

I nod: “Okay, Wan Er~”

……

After eating and 1 o’clock in the afternoon, at the tennis court on XiXi Street, Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue had rented out the VIP area for 4 hours at an extremely expensive price, but the two young ladies apparently did not care so I sleepily follow them .

In the arena, the two ladies were dressed in sportswear . From their white sky blue T-shirt and skirts, to their long hair tied, they revealed a deep sense of youth . Next to the stadium, a curved bed was set out and next to this was a blanket along with other things . I walked over to lie down and pulled up a blanket to cover my body . Looking at the two ladies and hearing them wheezing, what a beautiful sight, but sleep is more important!

TL: Xiao Yao logic – Game > Sleep > Girls

I did not dare to sleep too deeply and retained a bit spiritual sense . If there is any danger I would wake up at the first moment, this is one of the reasons as to why Lin Wan Er’s father asked for me to become her bodyguard .

Qi practitioners are above the ordinary population . Most of them don’t bother with mundane problems and practitioners like me who sell themselves for a 10 thousand Yuan air conditioned bed are extremely rare…

Lin Tian Nan is also a practitioner and he clearly understands that from the ancient times until now, the spirit realm is divided into: Body, Qi, Blaze, and God realms . According to ancient books, Laozi, Mozi and a few other prominent figures in China have reached the God realm and in the several thousand years, one barely finds any Blaze level practitioners . Till now, various schools fell and became extinct one after another . A Qi level practitioner like me is already very rare and those so called “Martial Arts Masters” are still in the Body realm . Their training is only for the body and they can’t even understand nor grasp the three powers of the sky, earth, and people .
