In other words, while Infinite Phantom was busy defeating Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian, feeling quite smug about it, Zhang Yue had already pushed dozens of mbers from the Infinite Guild to the brink of life and death.
This scene left Infinite Phantom utterly stunned.
Standing atop Infinite Sword Saint, Zhang Yue spoke coldly to Infinite Phantom: "You dare touch soone from my Heavens Halll?"
Infinite Phantom, gripping the dagger closer to Ning Tiantian, retorted, "Release my people, or I'll kill these two."
A glint of killing intent flashed in Zhang Yue's eyes, so sharp that the Infinite Sword Saint from his foot felt a chill down his spine.
"Go ahead and try."
Despite Zhang Yue rely being a beast tar, Infinite Phantom, an epic-class professional, felt an unprecedented and intense sense of intimidation emanating from him.
anwhile, more mbers of the Infinite Guild gathered around. Three hundred elite professionals surrounded Zhang Yue and his group completely.
Yet even in this dire situation, Infinite Phantom dared not make another move.
All he could do was say to Zhang Yue, "We release them at the sa ti."
"You first." Zhang Yue didn't bother with pleasantries.
Reluctantly, Infinite Phantom released Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian.
At the sa ti, Zhang Yue lifted his foot, the Apocalypse Black Dragon loosened its claws, and the Dark Skeleton King lowered its greatsword.
With Wu Haotian, Ning Tiantian, and two trembling NPCs in tow, Zhang Yue walked straight through the crowd, heading towards the Dawn Sanctuary without so much as a backward glance, under the watchful eyes of hundreds from the Infinite Guild.
As the guild mbers prepared to chase after them, Infinite Phantom raised a hand to stop them.
"Don't chase."
"This man's strength is far greater than I anticipated."
"To kill him, we would need to expend a lot of resources. With the city-level high-tier tournant around the corner, we can't afford unnecessary losses. If we're going to kill him, it will have to wait until after the final match of the tournant."
———
On the other side, Zhang Yue waited ten minutes for his gray na to revert to white and then accompanied Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian to the Dawn Sanctuary. They handed the NPCs over to Marna and logged out.
After dinner, they logged back in. By 11 PM, Zhang Yue had finally completed the task of killing 1,000 Giant Ants in the Ant Nest.
[Ding~ Congratulations on completing the epic bounty quest [Giant Ant Slayer]. Rewards: EXP 1,000,000, Gold 10, Bioenergy 100,000,000 (multiplied by 10,000x), [4-Star Equipnt Selection Box] x2, Rare Pet Egg x1]
At the sa ti, Zhang Yue handed over all the antennae dropped by the Giant Ants to Enni, the blacksmith in Dawn Sanctuary. With eight rounds of generous quest rewards, Zhang Yue's experience bar skyrocketed.
However, Zhang Yue still didn't upgrade himself. Instead, he allocated the overflow experience points to his two pets.
With their master's nourishnt, the Apocalypse Black Dragon soared to Level 35.
The Dark Skeleton King, after consuming the leftovers, also reached Level 33.
Zhang Yue himself already had four 4-star equipnt pieces, so duplicates were likely.
Thus, he opened the two [4-Star Equipnt Selection Boxes] for the Archer class, obtaining the weapon [Dark Bow] and the boots [Night Stalker Boots].
After spending over 1.1 million energy:
[Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining the Golden Equipnt [Eternal Night · Dark Hunter]]
[Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining the Golden Equipnt [Night · World-Treading Boots]]
Adding the [Eternal Night Ring] dropped by the 4-star boss Eternal Night Sovereign from the secret realm, Zhang Yue used energy to upgrade it to golden tier, becoming [Dark Night · God-Eater Ring].
Equipped with three Level 35, 4-star, golden-quality pieces of gear, the Apocalypse Black Dragon was fully outfitted.
With the inclusion of a weapon and a ring, both boosting attack power, the Apocalypse Black Dragon's attack stat surged dramatically from 1,300 to 1,720.
Yes, it had surpassed Zhang Yue himself.
Thanks to the Black Dragon's Level 2 Black Dragon Bloodline, it enjoyed a 30% boost to all attributes.
anwhile, Zhang Yue's own weapon was still at 3-star level.
Through days of grinding, killing, and random quest rewards, Zhang Yue managed to evolve one rare-grade Giant Ant. Combined with the rare pet egg he received from the bounty quest:
"Hmm, just eight more pets to go, and I can upgrade the Apocalypse Black Dragon to epic grade."
After completing the quest, the three logged off in the safe zone for the night.
———
The next morning, they woke up to face the final match.
Whether they could advance to the provincial championship and win the 100,000 prize money had drawn imnse attention.
Out of Linhai City's 1,238 new professionals who passed the first two rounds, the final match was highly anticipated. At 10 AM sharp, the competitors entered the otherworld to begin.
Today's tournant chanics consisted of 10 matches. Each win awarded 5 Glory Points, while a loss gave 0.
The top 100 professionals with the highest combined scores from their best three matches would advance to the provincial championship.
At 10:00 sharp, the matches began.
Zhang Yue breezed through his matches, effortlessly securing 10 consecutive wins and 50 points with ease.
In fact, Zhang Yue didn't summon any pets throughout. Relying solely on his personal strength, he crushed every opponent.
Anyone matched against Zhang Yue was left questioning their life choices.
"What the heck! I didn't even see what Zero looks like before I died."
"He hit with a critical for over 9,000 damage?? That's insane!"
"Ha! I knew better. As soon as I saw 'Zero,' I surrendered. No way I'm letting him hit ."
Looking at the leaderboard for Linhai City's new professionals, Zhang Yue naturally sat at the top with a perfect score of 90.
A few minutes later, another perfect score appeared: Supre Carefree.
Since ties were ranked by who reached the score first, Supre Carefree took second place.
Surprisingly, this was Liu Yao's assistant, Li Xiaoyao, who appeared to be a mild-mannered scholar but was actually a dark horse.
At this point, Zhang Yue turned his attention to his companions' performances.
Coincidentally, Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian had just finished a match and appeared beside him.
"How's it going for you two?" Zhang Yue asked.
Ning Tiantian grinned. "I've finished eight matches and only lost one."
Wu Haotian, resting his flaming spear on his shoulder, smirked proudly,"9 wins in a row. Just one more to go for a perfect score."
Seeing the stellar performances of his guild's only two mbers, Zhang Yue, as guild leader, felt he should reward them.
"Not bad. Tonight, a guild dinner—pick the place."
"A guild dinner? I like the sound of that!" Wu Haotian chuckled. "I'm going to make sure I eat my fill."
Ning Tiantian suggested, "The guild is just starting out, and we'll need funds for the future. Let's go to that sa place as last ti—good food at a reasonable price."
"Wow, Tiantian is already saving money for the guild. Looks like you're perfect for managing our finances." Wu Haotian joked.
He then added, "But if I score a perfect ga, shouldn't I get an extra case of beer?"
"Two cases. As much as you can drink," Zhang Yue replied.
Wu Haotian licked his lips in excitent. "Now we are talking!"
"But," Zhang Yue added, "if you lose that last match, no beer for you."
"Co on, don't doubt . I've won 29 straight matches. If I lose the last one, I'll write my na backward." Wu Haotian declared confidently.
"Watch bring back a perfect score!"
With that, Wu Haotian jumped straight into his final match.
—
Shimring light surrounded him as Wu Haotian entered the arena.
[Ding~ Your opponent is Su Yan from the [Misty Rain Pavilion] Guild. Prepare yourself]
Hearing the system prompt, Wu Haotian froze.
"Damn! Xiao Jin'er?"
