"No!" Han Shuang Ye replied coldly. However, she immediately added, "Fight me. If you win, I'll accompany you to the next dungeon!"
"Okay!" Zhang Yang immediately agreed.
"Ding! Player Frost Night has issued a challenge (Friendly Mode), do you accept? "
After Zhang Yang casually clicked accept, a new duel notification popped up on the big screen outside the Arena: Room 178, Battlemaster VS Frosty Night (Sparring Mode), starting in five minutes.
The crowd that had not dispersed immediately became excited again. One was a newbie who had just defeated Ye Guhun, and the other was a famous person who had also defeated Ye Guhun. Moreover, both of them had killed the powerful Ye Guhun with full HP. The battle between these two would definitely be more exciting than the previous two!
(Ye Guhun's face was full of tears. "… Why do they have to use me as a comparison?")
One by one, they called their friends, and in a short two to three minutes, at least 100,000 people entered Room 178!
Very quickly, five minutes passed, and Zhang Yang and Frost Night were teleported to the arena at the same time.
The countdown began!
3, 2, 1 —
Whoosh!
Frost Night immediately entered Stealth and disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Yang did not dare to be careless. Although his opponent's equipment was not as good as Ye Guhun's, his skills were far above his opponent's. Moreover, he had the godly skill "Vanish" that surpassed his level, and could be used twice in a row. He was definitely not to be underestimated!
The audience outside the arena also stared with wide eyes, not daring to miss a single scene, because Frost Night could come out of the darkness at any time!
Suddenly!
A black shadow appeared out of thin air behind Zhang Yang, swinging the handle of a dagger at Zhang Yang's head! At the same time, Zhang Yang's blade circled and slashed at Frost Night's body.
"-387!"
"Sneak attack!"
Their attacks landed on each other at almost the same time, and as a result, Frost Night lost a large amount of HP, and Zhang Yang fell into a four-second coma!
"These two people are both very strong!" The audience outside the arena said to themselves.
"Combat Royal was able to catch the Stealth Thief, his intuition is really scary!"
"However, Frost Night is not simple either, he still managed to stun Combat Royal!"
"God, what kind of weapon is Combat Royal's hand? How did it take so much HP from Frost Night?"
"This is dangerous, if Frost Night uses Combat Royal without dying, he will definitely be killed!"
"…"
Frosty Night remained silent. He casually drank a Health Potion, and with a flick of his hands, two daggers danced wildly behind Zhang Yang's back, dealing a string of damage. Although the damage numbers weren't large, they were very frequent, so the total damage was quite considerable!
Four seconds later, the Stun effect ended, and Frosty Night followed up with a Kidney Strike, once again immobilizing Zhang Yang, and began another six-second attack.
However, Fighters still wore metal, and they also had a passive 20% damage reduction. Their defense was far superior to a Thief's! Frosty Night could deal over 1300 damage to Ye Guhun in ten seconds, but when it came to Zhang Yang, the damage was reduced to over 800. Zhang Yang still had less than two-thirds of his HP left!
Frost Night, however, remained calm. When the six seconds of Kidney Strike's control ended, she immediately raised her right hand and entered forced stealth with a "poof".
Zhang Yang smiled faintly. Suddenly, he swung his sword in a circle, and at the same time, he stomped the ground and unleashed a Sweep and Thunderous Strike at the spot where Frost Night had disappeared. He had been beaten up for a long time, and his rage had long since gone through the roof.
Frost Night's figure immediately fell out of stealth, and two damage numbers floated up from her head. "-765" and "-117" floated up. Her HP was instantly emptied, and she knelt on the ground, admitting defeat.
Whoosh, the two were teleported out of the arena.
"Let's fight again!" Frost Night messaged Zhang Yang.
"Then if you lose again, you'll owe me two dungeons!" Zhang Yang laughed.
"… Fine!"
And so, the two fought again.
In the second exchange, Frost Night had learned her lesson. When Kidney Strike's duration had one second left, she decisively gave up on attacking. With a "pu", she used Vanish and entered forced stealth!
Zhang Yang woke up from his stun and immediately started running in circles around the spot where she had disappeared. Suddenly, he swung his sword in a circle, and with another Sweep, he directly knocked Frost Night to her knees.
"How did you find me?" Frost Night couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Yang had played as a Thief for three years, so he naturally had his own way of finding Thieves in stealth! The biggest drawback of stealth was that movement speed was halved. If someone found out that you had entered stealth, it wouldn't be long before they found you.
"Secret!"
Frost Night couldn't help but choke. "I'll definitely defeat you!"
What a strong fighting spirit! Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You can't beat me because your equipment isn't good enough. Otherwise, you might have insta-killed me in the first round! Follow me into dungeons a few more times … to defeat me! "
Frost Night was speechless. After a while, she said, "I owe you two dungeons … Call me when you're going!"
She probably knew that the difference in equipment between the two of them was too big, so she didn't ask to fight again.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but grin and sent a friend request over.
Frost Night didn't immediately accept or reject. Instead, she sent a "?" over.
Zhang Yang explained, "Let's become friends. It'll be more convenient when I find you!"
After a while, Zhang Yang received a system notification: "Ding! Player Frost Night has accepted your friend request! "
Very good, from now on, this girl is my person! Just like how Sun Wukong fell into the palm of Buddha, he couldn't escape!
Zhang Yang laughed. After a while, he opened up the guild interface and typed in a new guild announcement: "In two days, we will be exploring Mazawi's Lair: Main Palace. The confirmed members are as follows: Battlemaster, Shuiyan 'Er, Good Snow, Slim Pretty Man, Hundred Bullets. We also need 1 Tank, 3 Healers, and 11 DPS classes. Anyone who can guarantee that they will reach Level 20 in two days and wish to participate in the exploration, for Tanks, find Battlemaster, for Healers, find Good Snow, for DPS classes, find Shuiyan 'Er, Slim, and Hundred Bullets. We will select the best. "
When this announcement came out, the players in Desert Dust immediately became excited. They all requested to join the exploration team, as if they could clear the dungeon as long as they were selected.
"Everyone, hurry up and level up!" Zhang Yang said in the guild channel. He closed the guild channel and ran to Undead Plains to farm monsters and level up.
He still had a Skeleton Warhorse in his bag, but he could only ride it when he was Level 30. Zhang Yang obviously had to hurry up and level up. When that time came, 99% of the people in the city would go crazy!
"It's a pity, if I sell this horse …"
If Zhang Yang really sold the warhorse, he would probably be killed by Good Snow and the others!
Fighting monsters, fighting monsters. Zhang Yang spent the entire day leveling up. However, after Level 20, the amount of EXP required to level up was frighteningly high. Even if he fought as hard as he could, it would still take him around two days to level up.
By the time Zhang Yang went offline to eat dinner, he had only reached 42% of Level 23.
After eating dinner, he went online to look at the official website for a while and then went to the China server forums. Zhang Yang found that the news of Ye Guhun coming to White Jade City to challenge the dojo had already caused quite a commotion on the forums.
Some people said that he was a lone hero, daring to challenge the players of an entire city by himself. Just this courage alone was worthy of respect!
Some people said that his head had been kicked by a donkey. Why didn't he go to level up? Why did he go to another city? Could it be that he was invincible in Crimson Moon City? Why did he have to go to White Jade City to challenge them? If that was the case, then wouldn't it mean that the experts of Crimson Moon City were not as good as those of White Jade City?
Some people supported it, some opposed it. Everyone had their own reasons, and the argument was in full swing.
Zhang Yang smiled and reconnected to the game.
He split the work with Good Snow and the others, each leading a team to fight Bandit and Crypt. After that, Zhang Yang called Good Snow and the others to the arena to practice their PVP techniques. In the end, Zhang Yang found that other than Fatty Han, the other three showed considerable awareness. With just a little bit of practice, they would be able to improve a lot.
However, Fatty Han was not good. He was careless and only knew how to attack. He did not have the slightest bit of awareness of positioning. Hunters were long-range professions. They had to maintain a certain distance from the enemy in order to be able to continue attacking. However, Fatty Han forgot about it as soon as he started fighting. He only knew how to have a moment of fun, shooting all the way to the end. Even when he used Oscillating Shot, he did not know how to use the few seconds when the enemy slowed down to run away!
A Hunter that was melee close to him was basically useless!
Zhang Yang didn't know how many times he told Fatty to distance himself, but Fatty always listened to it in one ear and out the other. He completely forgot about it! Zhang Yang was at his wit's end. In the beginning, he was the one who persuaded Fatty Han to play Hunter. Wasn't it because he could see that he was bad at PVP?
If a piece of jade was not cut, it would not be useful. But no matter how you cut mud, it was still mud!
This damn fatty, in the future, he would only be able to run dungeons. He would definitely not be able to participate in the pro league!
Even though Zhang Yang wanted to drag his best friend along, the pro league wasn't a stage for one person. Everyone had to be responsible for the team! He couldn't ignore the team for personal reasons and drag down the entire team for Fatty.
After one day, Desert Smoke's experience bar reached 42%. At this rate, it would take another four or five days for it to reach full experience.
In the next two days, Zhang Yang collected herbs, sold shields, and found professional miners to eat a dozen stacks of Bronze Ingots to increase his Forging proficiency. On the night of the second day, July 15th, the 15th day since the server opened, Desert Smoke finally had 24 Level 20 players! Zhang Yang had also reached Level 24 and 47% of his EXP bar.
Zhang Yang and Obedient Snow carefully selected the players. Actually, it should be said that they were researching who to eliminate because there was still a spot left for Frosty Night. Then, they told everyone to go offline and rest early. There would be a fierce battle tomorrow!
Zhang Yang sent a message to Frosty Night: "Tomorrow morning at 9 AM, gather at the Snow Spirit City dungeon entrance. Don't forget!"
"Got it. I'll ask for leave to come!"
Asking for leave to play the game? Yup, there was a future!
