"Oh, there’s actually a BOSS here." Xia Yi the Unrivaled said, suddenly intrigued.
"Not just one, but two." Hao Mie also chimed in.
"Quite a lot of elites too." Jiu Jianxian unsheathed his sword, eager to try.
In the blink of an eye, those demons sprinted to the bottom of the cliff. The one leading the charge was clearly an aquatic demon, with the lower half having the eight scythe-like legs of a giant crab, and the upper half with a massive octopus head, flanked by two huge crab claws. No wonder it could break free from the control range of the Big Vortex.
The other demon BOSS was a fish-tiger demon leader. This creature had a fierce tiger head on its upper half, while the lower part was a fish tail covered with slick scales. Clearly fish scales body, yet covered with tiger’s mottled stripes—a truly bizarre design.
But despite its oddness, its speed was ferocious. The two demon BOSSes climbed up the cliff, heading towards the top.
Xiao Jie paid no attention, focused solely on controlling the flood—teammates next to him were responsible for dealing with the monsters rushing upward.
Xia Yi the Unrivaled took his stance.
Secret Technique——Pride Nine Layers Divine Sword!
A giant Sword Qi, over ten meters long, slashed down. The octopus-headed BOSS was almost impaled by the sword and crashed dramatically back into the valley.
Secret Technique——Phoenix Sky Destruction!
Boom, Hao Mie was even more fierce, a full-force punch directly exploding the fish-tiger demon’s head.
It had actually achieved an instant kill on the BOSS.
A few flying elite demons, including the Bone Feather Vulture from before, soared into the air charging head-on.
Jiu Jianxian jumped into the air with those monsters.
Secret Technique——Demon Shadow Devouring Sun!
Instantly, the sky turned pitch black. The darkness quickly engulfed the elite demons, and Jiu Jianxian’s figure soon vanished into it, with the sound of Sword Qi slicing through the air echoing continuously in the darkness.
As the light returned, Jiu Jianxian performed a stylish backflip, landing back on the cliff. Several elite big monsters in mid-air had been sliced up, falling as a scattered mess of bones into the valley’s floodwaters.
The few onlookers over there were completely dumbstruck, wondering what kind of divine players these were, each of them shocked into silence, simply staring in awe at the battle before them.
A flash of golden light, Jiu Jianxian successfully leveled up to 40.
However, he didn’t rush to celebrate, instead quickly checking the three professions that had appeared upon upgrading.
Harvester, Sword Dancer, Sword Saint!
"Haha, I leveled up to Sword Saint, finally, awesome!"
Jiu Jianxian looked at the three professions that appeared, letting out a long sigh, finally achieving perfection.
Xiao Jie also nodded slightly; now Jiu Jianxian’s skills could increase a notch, finally possessing the ability to join the group.
The Sword Saint profession isn’t as mysterious as the Immortal Master; its core skill is [Heart Sword].
With the [Heart Sword] skill, upon entering combat, the system prompts the player with the most suitable skills to use based on the current scenario. The intuitive effect is that skill icons in combat will keep lighting up, indicating that using these skills will achieve optimal performance.
In other words, a player who advances to Sword Saint can perform divine operations just by pressing wherever lights up.
This skill can be said to change the game’s rules.
Not only did Jiu Jianxian reach Level 40, but Xia Yi the Unrivaled and Hao Mie also reached Level 40 in the last two days.
Hao Mie successfully gained a side job——Dragon Slayer, a standalone profession with no prerequisites and no follow-up jobs.
However, both the core skill and talent ability are quite powerful.
Core Skill: Dragon Slaying Skill.
When facing elites, BOSS, Boss-level BOSS, or even God-Demon Level BOSS, it ignores any additional template attributes these monsters possess.
Things like domineering bodies, immune control, uninterruptible, skill enhancements—all can be considered nonexistent.
In other words, in front of the Dragon Slayer, BOSS differ from Little Monsters only in skill attribute levels.
This skill can be said to be a divine skill for BOSS battles, and the stronger one’s own ability, the more pronounced the effect.
Next time encountering a World BOSS, even at third stage, it can still be forcefully controlled.
Theoretically, with high enough level and strong skills, a BOSS can be soloed.
Xia Yi the Unrivaled advanced to the [Hidden Expert] profession, core skill: [Secluded Cultivation]. It fuses martial arts mastered by oneself, achieving Satori of unique martial arts with singular attributes.
In these days Xia Yi the Unrivaled has given a trial-run and successfully fused two unique battle skills.
However, once martial arts are fused, they cannot be fused again, so high-level martial arts should not be used lightly.
He plans to use Ao Tian Divine Sword combined with an Epic Level Internal Power, to find a way to fuse a Supreme Internal Power, and then the Supreme Internal Power paired with Supreme Sword Skill would naturally be more invincible.
With such powerful Level 40 teammates, Xiao Jie naturally didn’t care about the demons charging upwards. For original chapters go to novel(ꜰ)ire.net
With the outspoken ones being taken down one by one, the remaining Little Monsters can only turn into corpse white light under the torment of fire and water.
When the tides receded, only corpses and countless dropped equipment remained scattered across the valley.
It’s not the first time for everyone to farm monsters ; not only is the experience rich, but the drops are also extremely abundant.
Though most are Little Monsters, they are still plentiful and ultimately produce quite a few good things.
As the battle ends, everyone adeptly jumped into the valley to collect equipment, patching up the almost dead demons.
Busy, with so much dropped equipment, they had to discard some less valuable gear.
Keeping only the highest value batch.
Xiao Jie didn’t jump down to collect; his bag was full from the last wave, aside from Monster Inner Core, he didn’t even bother to look at the rest.
These demons were pretty disgusting, with only a few dropping Inner Cores; after farming for so many days, only a few were collected.
Plus, the Inner Cores look somewhat weird, and Xiao Jie dared not refine them.
Better to put them on the auction later.
Xiao Jie glanced over the team before him, Hao Mie, Jiu Jianxian, Xia Yi the Unrivaled had all reached Level 40.
Xiao Jie, An Ran, had both reached Level 39. Next, preparations would be made to cap levels and perform profession tasks.
Meanwhile, Ye Luo, I Want to Be Immortal, Dida La, Bai Ze were all Level 37-38.
Similarly uncertain about the Level 40 profession, needing to cap the level.
The strength of the team now is exceedingly strong, dealing with Master Hongchen would definitely be a sure victory.
But he still lacked one last thing.
"Let’s call it a day; let’s go to Jumu City to claim the task rewards and tomorrow tackle Red Dust." Xiao Jie said, leading everyone away.
After quite some time, the four newbies who were lurking on the cliff finally revealed themselves.
"Damn, who are these people, so badass?"
"Definitely old players, but left too quickly; we couldn’t catch up for help."
"Forget about seeking help, hurry up and pick up the equipment."
Although Xiao Jie and others had taken the best loot, the valley still had scattered White Board Equipment, even a few green items.
Trash to Xiao Jie and company, but for these newbies, it was a feast.
Delighted, they all rushed toward the valley.
