Chapter 31: Slaughtering Wild Wolves, Making Friends with Ruthless Ones (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)
I brought my baby to the Wild Wolf Plain, continuing to slaughter wild wolves. Since my baby's level is relatively low, it's not suitable for higher-level maps. Last time I killed the Wild Wolf King, I got a sweet reward, so I'm looking forward to brushing out another Wild Wolf King this time.
"Brother Long, you're so cool! Keep going... I'm about to level up!" Just then, my sweetheart was jumping and shouting beside me, while I, this free laborer, was over there killing monsters with all my might. Sigh... but thinking that I have a beauty by my side makes it all worthwhile.
"How many times have I told you to call me 'husband'! Does husband know?" I said fiercely, turning my head to face the treasure and slashing a wild wolf with one sword.
"Alright, alright, just call then, what's so great about it. Old... husband!" Baby shouted loudly.
"Alas..." He shook his head and sighed, no longer speaking. He focused on the one-sided slaughter with the wild wolf.
One day later (in reality 6 hours)
"Dragon brother, I'm going offline. I've been in the game for too long." Baby said dejectedly.
"Alright, you go offline first, I'll practice for a while and reach level 30 second conversion then talk." After all, we've been stuck in the game for two days already, so I don't care, but Baby is different, she's just an ordinary person.
"That old man is so obedient, I'll go first. See you online tomorrow." As he said that, he suddenly ran in front of me and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. Before I could even react, my baby had already disappeared. Looking at where my baby had vanished, I touched the spot where I was kissed and thought to myself, "This little scamp can really run fast!" Next time, don't think you can run so fast! Hehe... The brief moment of tenderness passed, and I fully immersed myself in leveling up by killing wild wolves. Suddenly, a voice came over.
"This brother, looking at your skills doesn't seem like a low-level player, why are you brutally slaughtering these wild wolves here?" I followed the direction of the sound and saw a white-clothed man holding a long sword standing there saying.
"Hehe... I feel like there are more weirdos here, so... Hehe..." The awkwardness in my heart made me quickly put away the Dragon Slayer. It's also true that as the number one on the ranking list, with several pieces of dark gold equipment and ultimate skills, it's indeed a bit inappropriate to be slaughtering wild wolves here.
"No need to be polite, brother. I'm not being rude, but I haven't even asked for your esteemed surname yet?" The man cupped his hands and said so without any pretence. Looks like this person is worth getting to know.
"In the lower dragon, proud of heaven." I said politely.
"Long Ao Tian? Aren't you the one who's always first on the level ranking list and possesses a divine artifact?" Wu Qing said in surprise.
"Barbarian? How did you know that? Didn't I conceal my name?" The shock in my heart was truly indescribable.
"Hehe, I saw it unintentionally. But when I looked again, the name was already hidden."
"So that's how it is! I thought someone was following me already! Haha."
"Brother Ao Tian, I have an unfeeling request, and I hope you can agree to it?"
"Brother, you're being too serious. Whatever it is, just say it. As long as I can help, I'll definitely agree. After all, Wu Qing is one of the top ten masters in the rankings."
"Ever since Brother Ao Tian jumped to the top of the rankings, Wu Qing has been targeting him, hoping that Ao Tian can fulfill his promise and have a match with me." Wu Qing said calmly.
"Ah....this...this...the gap between you and me is quite large."
"Sometimes rank isn't the key to winning or losing, and besides, I'm only 4 ranks higher than you right now."
After hearing the ruthless words, my heart was shocked. Isn't being ruthless 17th level? How could I, at 29th level, think of a difference of 4 levels? Thinking of this, I hastily opened the ranking list, and the name that appeared before my eyes made me extremely surprised.
First Place: Hidden Occupation: Hidden Level: 29th level
Second Name: Ba Shi Tian Xia Occupation: Magic Warrior Swordsman Level: 27
Third Name: Heartless Occupation: Swordsman Level: 25
Fourth Place: Rōnin Occupation: Swordsman Level: 23
Fifth place: Heart Piercing Arrow Profession: Hunter Level: 23
Sixth place: Frenzied Warrior Occupation: Berserker Level: 22
Seventh Name: Mo Qing Yuan Occupation: Swordsman Level: 22
Eighth place: Flower Love Story Occupation: Pharmacist Level: 22
Ninth Name: Clouds in the Sky Occupation: Wu Xing Master Level: 22
Tenth place: I am Tian Profession: Crazy Blade Guest Level: 22nd level
It turns out that Wu Qing is already level 25, it seems that while I was with Bao Bei, others were working hard to level up. No wonder he's so confident now. Wu Qing is now the number one swordsman in the 'Second World'.
"In that case, I'll be impolite then. Unfeeling brother, please!" As I said this, I took out the Dragon Scar Sword which had already been put away.
"This sword is called: Dragon Scar. Dark gold equipment."
"Please!" Wu Qing also said with his sword in hand. "This sword is called: Heartless. Dark gold equipment."
"Be careful, Ao Tian." As soon as the words left his mouth, Wu Qing launched a surprise attack, his sword flashing towards me with incredible speed. I hastily raised my sword to block it, but he didn't let up, continuing to press the attack with his Absolute Emotion Sword. With a loud shout of "Gale Strike", he unleashed a flurry of attacks that left me no time to counter, forcing me to dodge and weave. This continued for several minutes, until I suddenly felt an intense sense of frustration - it had been ages since my cultivation broke through to the Material Boundary stage, yet here I was being pushed to such a desperate state in the game. I thought to myself: if only I could grasp that legendary Instant Movement technique... The idea grew stronger and stronger, when suddenly, the system's voice echoed in my ears.
System Prompt: Player Long Ao Tian has acquired SS-level skill, Instant Movement. For details, please refer to the Skill Bar.
I hastily opened the skill bar and indeed there was an additional instant movement skill.
Instant Movement (SS-level) Player's self-enlightenment achievement.
Can instantly move to within 3 meters of the player, ultimate skill, unique, cannot be upgraded, limited to 5 uses per day.
Haha... With this skill, sorry, heartless old brother.
I dodged the attack and suddenly shouted "Instant Movement!" Wu Qing obviously hadn't reacted yet, still attacking forward. When he realized something was off, I had already appeared behind him, Dragon Mark Sword slashing down. He didn't even have time to turn his head, only able to dodge with a flash of movement. I instant-moved again, reappearing in front of him, sword stabbing out... Suddenly, a brilliant blue light burst forth from his body as he let out a loud roar: "Emotionless Illusory Sword of the Heartless!"
A blue glow burst out from him, and the ruthless sword transformed into countless swords that attacked me. I was shocked and instantly teleported three times to dodge this attack. It was a close call; if I hadn't coincidentally grasped instant movement, I might have lost by now. However, my Wu Wei Heart Method wasn't used yet. At this time, I also activated the Wu Wei Heart Method, preparing to use the first move to end this duel.
"Halt! Brother Ao Tian, admit defeat!" was all I heard from Wu Qing's weak voice. I quickly withdrew the carefree and unbridled move I was about to unleash. Wu Qing took out a vial of medicine to replenish his lost blood, stood up, and said to me.
"You're really something!"
"Hehe, coincidentally, I've acquired a skill, but it's not worth mentioning." I said humbly.
"Aotian brother, no need to be humble, losing is just losing. When you dodged my ruthless fantasy sword, I knew I had already lost. But what I didn't expect was that you still had a follow-up move." Listening to Wuqing say this, I didn't know how to respond. Suddenly, both of them fell silent, the atmosphere became very awkward...
"How about we level up together?" I and Wu Qing said in unison.
Hahaha...
It was just like that, Wu Qing had a crushing defeat in the battle against Long Ao Tian, and it was also because of this battle that Long Ao Tian gained a powerful brother in the demonic realm after their enmity. When later generations asked about the situation of this battle, he spoke from his heart. "Actually, Ao Tian dodged my attacks, I knew I had already lost, but I didn't give up, preparing to use my final move, however when he activated that mysterious technique of his, I felt an overwhelming pressure coming towards me like a tidal wave. It was then that I understood, I thoroughly lost, there is an insurmountable distance between him and me." Excerpt from Wu Qing's inner voice.
