Chapter 102 - Completing The Trial In Advance
The three of them turned around to look at the man. Although his body was dirty, his eyes were full of light.
His tone was also very confident.
“Why do you say that?” One of them asked.
“It’s simple.” The middle-aged man pushed the frame of his glasses with his right pinky and smiled confidently. “Because I guessed it.”
The three unkempt men’s faces froze. They turned around and continued to lean on the guardrail with pessimistic faces, “You’re crazy.”
…
“Hurry up! Quickly run! The evil wind is here to kill and steal monsters!”
On the southeast island of the Pangu Islands, a group of players was not killing the monsters. Instead, they were busy running away.
A few moments ago, they had witnessed someone cursing at the “evil wind”, and the next second, it had killed him.
They didn’t know if evil wind would kill anyone on sight, but no one wanted to leave the trial area now. They still want to battle, so they need to run as far away as possible from it.
“I’m dying of laughter! What are you all afraid of! It’s just a gust of wind.”
A man laughed contemptuously when they saw the fleeing crowd. He jumped onto the roof of a three-story building and opened his arms to face the incoming wind.
After a long while, he was still fine.
“Did you see that? It’s just an ordinary wind. A player must’ve used an invisible method to secretly kill someone else and put the blame on the wind.”
The man crossed his arms proudly, shook his head, and sighed haughtily, “You guys couldn’t distinguish between the two and ended up being chased by a wind. What a big joke!”
The dozen or so people below looked up at the man on the roof. Seeing that he was indeed safe and sound, they couldn’t help but look at each other.
“That’s weird. He’s really fine. Did we overreacted?” A skinny young man scratched the back of his head as he asked the crowd.
“But when I was in the wind, the points I got from killing the monsters didn’t show up.” A young woman frowned and shrugged helplessly.
“Me too… After battling monsters for so long, I haven’t even reached past single digits whenever I checked my points! I was so confused and mad that I wanted to throw up blood. There must be something in that wind!”
As the crowd continued to discuss, a handsome young man with golden hair stood out from the crowd. He raised his hands and shouted at the man on the roof, “If you don’t believe me, you can try scolding evil wind!”
The golden-haired young man was an ordinary player in District 66, but he had some guesses on the current situation.
“Scolding ‘evil wind’?” The man on the roof frowned, “Why would I scold it out of the blue?”
He then turned around and charged toward the Combat Chicken that had just emerged from the black mist.
However, before the blade in his hand could land, a light breeze blew past. The Combat Chicken’s body paused for a moment before it turned into countless tiny light spots and dissipated.
“What!” The man’s blade missed. Without waiting for him to think, three Grassland Wolves jumped from the roof of the next building to his and ran towards him at a frightening speed.
“[Gale Slash]!” He shouted in a hurry, feeling excited at the incoming points.
However, as soon as he used his skill, the three Grassland Wolves turned into light spots and disappeared in front of him.
Seeing this, the man’s eyes widened, and he was beginning to believe the chatter below.
‘The wind here is strange! I can’t stay for long!‘ Thinking of this, he shut his mouth tightly and quickly jumped away from the demonic wind.
Although the people on the ground couldn’t see what had happened on the roof, they all came to a realization when they saw this person escape without a word.
“Look! He ran away! There’s something strange about this wind!”
“Hurry, let’s run!”
…
It had been more than two hours since the start of the trial.
After killing countless monsters and climbing to the ninth floor, Ling Yi finally couldn’t help but feel bored.
Thus, he flew into the sky, planning to take a walk around the trial grounds.
As he urged the light wind, he slowly flew in the air.
The dusky night sky was the perfect camouflage. He was only flying 50 to 60 meters in the sky, and he was sure that nobody would be able to see him.
He would kill any monster he encountered, and if he heard any players being rude to him, he would kill them as well.
He couldn’t be bothered with the rest.
As he flew, his wind picked up a familiar aura.
“What?” Ling Yi sensed it carefully and realized that it was Lin Qingyu, who he had chatted with before entering the arena.
She was currently fighting with more than a dozen monsters in a small alley. She waved her fists and long legs, and the monsters that pounced at her were all sent flying.
She was as brave as a God of War!
“That girl’s physical skills are not bad…”
Looking at her skilled punching movements and her flexible long legs that could be raised to the top of her head, Ling Yi couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘She must have signed up for a Training Center to train herself.’
After God’s Path descent, the dojo had once again flourished.
Many juveniles would go to the Martial Arts Center to train their physical fitness and learn some physical skills with the support of their elders. In hopes to have better combat qualities after entering God’s Path in the future.
Ling Yi didn’t believe that Lin Qingyu’s smooth movements hadn’t been trained systematically.
After watching her battle for a while, he continued on his journey and flew to other places.
He also tried to kill the monsters he encountered during his “leisure fly”.
[You’ve killed a Red Apple Monster (Level 7)! +7 Points]
[…]
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yi flew to the edge of the island.
He was surprised to find a large island next to it.
There were many gorgeous buildings on it, which was the complete opposite of the dilapidated environment in the Pangu Islands.
He noticed there were quite a few players fighting the monsters on the island. Ling Yi covered the area with the wind and soon heard some of the people’s whispers.
“Hmph, the entire Alliance wanted to combine our forces a few days ago. I’ve remembered this grudge until now. Now that there’s a chance, I won’t let them have a good look.”
“What do you want to do?”
“They want to push us into the fire pit. Now, I’ll let them roast themselves in it first~”
“It’s no use. This building must be protected by many barriers. With your low-level fire power, you won’t be able to burn it down unless you can find the core control room and turn off the barrier.”
“Core control room? Hehehehe, I have a better idea…”
Ling Yi was curious and was about to continue eavesdropping when two notifications suddenly appeared in front of him.
[You have earned 1,00,000 points! You have successfully reached the tenth floor!]
[Congratulations! You have reached the Newbie Trial Tower’s level limit. You will be leaving the trial grounds in advance!]
“Huh?” While Ling Yi was still in a daze, a gentle teleportation power descended from the sky and landed on him.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a familiar bed and desk.
He had returned.
“What just…” Ling Yi felt that it was a little abrupt, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
‘I’ve already reached the maximum level. If I don’t come back earlier, am I going to waste my time there?’
It’s just… He didn’t think of this possibility before he entered the trial ground, so it was a little surprising for him.
It was also at this moment that a special reward notification quietly appeared.
[Congratulations! You have completed the “Newbie’s Trial” in advance. You are hereby awarded with [Mysterious Store pass]X1]
The official reward for the Newbie Trial would be given out once the event ended.
And Ling Yi had received the reward for finishing the trial in advance. Clearly, in God’s Path eyes, they were two separated things.
