Player Combat Tournament

The fishing event gave that much experience? Yu Xian asked curiously, "Yaoyao, besides experience, what other rewards did you get from the fishing event?" "A class enhancement stone and a longsword." Zhang Buyao took out the two rewards and continued. Yu Xian glanced at the enhancement stone and the longsword, furrowing his brow. "Looks like we need to change our leveling plan. We can head straight for Level 6 monsters!" Then, he had Zhang Buyao try the class enhancement stone first. Thus, Zhang Buyao's class was upgraded from Spiritual Item Breeder to Divine Artifact Breeder, and Spiritual Endowment Art became Divine Spiritual Endowment Art. After Zhang Buyao turned the longsword into a divine artifact, the two immediately headed straight for the Level 6 monster zone. Originally, Yu Xian had planned to start with Level 3 monsters to test the waters. If it was still effortless, he would continue fighting higher-level monsters until they hit a wall. However, since Zhang Buyao's strength had increased so much, their starting point certainly couldn't be measly Level 3 wild monsters, so Yu Xian decided to double it and go straight for Level 6 wild monsters. The Level 6 monster zone was not a plain, but a valley surrounded on all sides by terraced fields. Many players were currently grinding monsters in this valley, and the creatures they were hunting were a type of monster known as Demonic Black Sheep. [Demonic Black Sheep] [Level: 6] [Skill:] [Fatal Illusion: Upon making eye contact with the Demonic Black Sheep, any target whose spirit is inferior to the Demonic Black Sheep has a high probability of falling into an illusion.] [Note: A flock of ordinary black sheep influenced by demonic black goats. Their robust bodies combined with lethal illusions make them a tremendous threat to weaklings.] The Demonic Black Sheep were monsters with sheep heads and human bodies, and their physiques were exceptionally muscular. As one could tell from their basketball-sized fists, a single punch delivered to an ordinary person would blow their head off on the spot. Just then, Yu Xian and Zhang Buyao swooped down. Before one Demonic Black Sheep could even react, a flash of light pierced clean through its body. It split in two, the halves tumbling to either side before dissolving into white light. "So strong!" Yu Xian hadn't expected Forward Light Shield to instantly kill a Demonic Black Sheep. Immediately after, he realized this was likely related to the light attribute. The Demonic Black Sheep were clearly dark-attribute monsters, making them naturally weak to light. Combined with the extremely high movement speed of Forward Light Shield and the sharpened shape he had deliberately given the windshield, an instant kill was no surprise. "Kill!" Seeing that he could kill them in one hit, Yu Xian immediately began moving at high speed. Wherever he passed, scores of Demonic Black Sheep were instantly cleaved in two, dissolving into white light. Many players took notice of Yu Xian, but because he was moving too fast, they couldn't see who he was at all. Furthermore, Zhang Buyao was also slaying monsters, leaving the onlookers dizzy from the sight of two golden lights zipping wildly about. Because the two killed monsters so quickly, the Level 6 zone soon ran out of monsters to hunt. Some players grew upset. They began shouting loudly, doing nothing more than complaining about why Yu Xian and his companion—being so strong—had come to the Level 6 zone instead of going to a higher-level area. Yu Xian and Zhang Buyao couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind. Seeing that few monsters remained in the Level 6 zone, they decisively set off for a higher-level area. "Leveling up doesn't seem all that hard after all." Yu Xian checked his level. He had already gone from Level 1 to Level 2. Clearly, the slow leveling before was partly due to the low level of the monsters they were fighting, and partly because their killing efficiency had been too low. ... ... Over the next few months, Yu Xian and Zhang Buyao spent their time grinding and hunting monsters. There was little worth mentioning about the entire process, apart from the occasional flirtatious moments when they held hands while strolling through town or found a spot to sit and laze around like salty fish for a little while. Finally, both of them reached Level 10. In reality, with Zhang Buyao's initial level, she could have left Yu Xian far behind. However, she didn't want to do that, so they always partied up to hunt together. Because her level was higher, she naturally received less experience, while Yu Xian, being lower in level, gained considerably more from grinding high-level monsters. With the two balanced out, their levels gradually drew even again. Of course, Zhang Buyao still possessed far more total experience points than Yu Xian, but at least their levels were identical once more. Upon reaching Level 10, both unlocked new skills. Yu Xian's skill was [With and Against the Flow]. He could alter the flow of all things; the more Grand Dao Myriad Phenomena power he consumed, the greater the effect. However, this ability had a flaw: when flowing with the current, it consumed very little power yet produced immense effects. Conversely, when flowing against the current, it required more than ten times the power of flowing with the current, yet produced less than thirty percent of the effect. Thus, Yu Xian preferred flowing with the current and rarely made use of flowing against it. For example, if someone felt hot, Yu Xian wouldn't drain their heat to freeze them solid; instead, he would make them hotter and hotter until they were roasted alive. That was flowing with the current, whereas freezing them to death was flowing against it. If they were in an icy, snowy landscape, Yu Xian would attempt to freeze them to death rather than roast them. All in all, it was a tremendously powerful area-of-effect skill, far more efficient for grinding monsters than his Forward Light Shield. As for Zhang Buyao, upon reaching Level 10, she once again awakened a support skill. However, this support skill finally freed her from having to rely on Yu Xian's Forward Light Shield to hunt. [Enchantment Art: Consumes a small amount of spirit to enchant a target, granting it the power of a special property.] If Divine Spiritual Endowment Art merely transformed an item into an extraordinary item, Enchantment Art bestowed special attributes upon it. Zhang Buyao's dagger leaped from an unremarkable blade into a vampiric dagger. Any target struck by this dagger would continuously supply it with vitality. The more blood the dagger absorbed, the stronger its attributes grew, giving it growth potential. Furthermore, the longsword she had obtained from the event already possessed the Keen property; after she used Enchantment Art on it, it gained the Lightning property, and after slaying a monster, its speed would also increase. Armed with these two weapons, Zhang Buyao could now swiftly dispatch all sorts of monsters. Yu Xian's Forward Light Shield was mostly relegated back to its original purpose—serving as a shield. Just as Yu Xian and Zhang Buyao were discussing where to grind monsters next, a massive screen of light suddenly appeared in the sky. After a lapse of several months, an event had finally arrived once more. Still, Yu Xian was curious: who had planned this event this time? [The 1st Player Combat Tournament has begun! The top ten will not only receive massive amounts of experience, but also a rich selection of prizes to choose from. Players are welcome to sign up enthusiastically!] [This tournament will be livestreamed in its entirety.] [Do you want to make a name for yourself?] [Then come join!] Reading the scrolling text across the light screen, Yu Xian felt that this event was worth entering. After all, though he was only Level 10, he was fairly formidable among players. As long as the rules weren't rigged, he stood a good chance of securing a decent ranking.
