Chapter 52: Martial Entry-Level Ten!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“It’s gone up to 1,200 points!” Qin Shujian exclaimed to himself as he watched his Life Value jump in number.

He had more and more subordinates.

They were giving him more and more Life Value points.

When he persuaded Chuanyun Stronghold, his Life Value was only at 900 points.

Just half a day later, it had already become 1,200 points.

But there was one thing that made Qin Shujian sigh.

Twelve-hundred Life Value points weren’t enough for him to move on to Bodyforge Manual’s Level Ten.

But he wasn’t in a great hurry.

He just had to go along with this speed.

In another half a day, he should have enough Life Value points to get to Bodyforge Manual’s Level Ten.

As the Mountain Bandits continued on their crazy massacre, they slowly started to incur the wrath of the other players.

It was mostly because there were too many players gathered together.

Once the number of people gathered hit an advantageous number, even the most timid people would gain some confidence.

And once the players had confidence, they would naturally want to revolt.

BAM!!

A terribly loud sound could be heard.

A Nine Ring Saber slashed two players dead, and the impact from it hit a large rock, causing it to blast apart on the spot.

Two players were now dead.

And what followed was a group of a dozen players attacking together.

“Kill them!” Niu Feng got his sword ready and his energetic presence glowed.

In the next moment, he displayed his Mountain Breaking Knife Technique fully.

His Martial Entry-Level Five paired with this fierce and powerful Mountain Breaking Knife Technique increased Niu Feng’s capabilities by 120%.

At first, there were about 100 players.

Then it became a few hundred, then nearly 1,000 players.

As the number of players increased, the speed of the team’s advancement had also slowed to a turtle’s pace.

All the Mountain Bandits were engaged in battling the players.

But no matter how fiercely everyone fought, none of the players could get through the Mountain Bandits and reach Qin Shujian.

Swoosh!

The sound of something cutting through the air could be heard.

Qin Shujian moved his head a little and an arrow shot right past the corner of his eye.

But he was more highly skilled than the archer as he caught the arrow with his palm and brought the high speed arrow to a stop.

In the distance, a player with a large bow in hand and arrows at the back looked upset about missing his target.

Then after that, Qin Shujian flicked his palm hard. The arrow immediately left the grip of his palm and went back precisely the same way it came.

It was travelling at a speed that was even faster than when it came.

The player holding the bow only saw a black spot becoming larger and larger, and before he even had time to react, it had become a glow of white.

A large bow fell to the ground.

“As expected of the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain. His ability is really shocking!” Liu Qinghong couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw this scene in front of him.

That player with the bow and arrow just now.

He was a high-level player who was at Martial Entry-Level Four and was about to hit Martial Entry-Level Five.

His archery skills had reached an almost godlike level. A stealthy attack from him was enough for him to kill a Martial Entry-Level Five fighter easily.

But now, he had made a secret attack, but he hadn’t just failed to hurt the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain, he also ended up getting killed by his opponent.

This terrible difference in ability made most players feel despair.

“The Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain is seriously powerful. But no matter how powerful these Bosses are, they’re just for us players to blast them away anyway. It’s time for us from Starter Village #23012 to make a name for ourselves!”

A young lady with short hair above her ears and dressed in fitting clothes walked to the front with large and confident strides.

She looked at the Boss in the distance, and there was a blaze in her eyes.

Behind them, a large group of players started to appear.

Among them was Fu Moyan.

“Yang Yue, don’t be too careless about it,” Fu Moyan gently reminded her.

“Tsk, it’s just a Boss. We’ve got so many people with us this time, so he’s dead meat!”

Before Yang Yue, the girl with short hair, could speak, another low and steady voice spoke up first.

Fu Moyan followed the sound of the voice to see a middle-aged man with a squarish face. He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Li Zongwen.

...

He was one of the top three fighters in Starter Village #23012.

He had set up a powerful team himself.

The archer that the Liangshang Stronghold Chieftain killed just now was one of his best players on the team.

There was some anger on Li Zongwen’s squarish face.

After all, one of his teammates died after he made an appearance. Besides feeling embarrassed by this, he was also upset about the loss itself.

Every time a player died, they would have to drop by one level.

The further back you dropped, the more difficult it became to go back up to your previous level.

Right now, Qin Shujian had become a target that Li Zongwen was now determined to kill, even though they were already prepared to kill him even before this.

Qin Shujian took a quick glance at the massive group of players that had gathered in front. There were at least a few hundred people.

And among these people, he noticed a few familiar faces.

These people, he had run into them when he was at Mount Mingai.

...

“Is it an ambush?” Qin Shujian immediately thought of this word, then shook his head and laughed.

He had to admit that these players were getting more and more powerful.

But, if they intended to use their sheer numbers to surround and kill him, then they were underestimating him.

“All these people should be the high-level players within Messy Stone Forest. If we kill all of them at one shot, then the strength of the players would be stuck in a rut for some time.”

“It’s good that they’re all gathered now. Saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one,” Qin Shujian said, his eyes grew colder and colder. He stood with his hands behind his back as he faced the players in front.

At the same time, he took a peek at his Life Value points.

1,613 points.

After the total Life Value went up to more than 1,600 points, a plus sign finally appeared behind his Bodyforge Manual section.

Without any hesitation, Qin Shujian focused his thoughts and clicked on the plus sign.

In an instant, his Life Value points dropped by 1,400 points.

Level Nine of the Bodyforge Manual started undergoing a change to eventually metamorphosize into Level Ten of the Bodyforge Manual.

WOONG!

Qin Shujian took one step.

A heavy aura was sent out from him.

His entire body seemed to be going through a strange sort of metamorphosis.

He took a second step.

His qi and blood began to rush wildly.

A third step.

His flesh and blood were trembling violently.

Then he took a fourth step, a fifth step...all the way until the final ninth step. Qin Shujian felt like he had undergone a complete transformation.

As for the pain that usually came with breaking through to the next level, he had already killed so many people, and this pain was nothing to him now.

That incredible aura that seemed to have poured out to its maximum.

It was suddenly kept away and disappeared, as if it had never appeared before in the first place.

At the same time, Qin Shujian was only a few meters away from the players’ camp.

“I know all of you want to kill me. I’m standing in front of all of you now, so if you want to make a move, go ahead. Once you miss this chance, then you won’t have another.” His calm words carried a strange sort of authoritativeness and oppression.

Liu Qinghong and the rest looked at the Boss in front of them. They suddenly felt a tremendous pressure from their opponent.

This was the first time.

This was the first time they were face-to-face with a Boss.

And this was also the first time that a Boss was standing in front of them so openly.

After a short period of shock, they began to feel anger rise inside them.

Disdain!

This was clearly disdain for the players. He had no regard for them.

Even though the Boss in front of him gave him a very different sort of feeling, Li Zongwen couldn’t hold back the anger he felt. He waved his hand and shouted out, “All the Henglian cultivators will go in front and fight at close range; all the long-range fighters, take your positions! Let’s go!”
