Chapter 85: Sparring

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“We have 10 tanks, 10 healers, and 30 DPS. The party’s average GS is 260 and we’re currently in the third stage. I’ll give you any Archer’s equipment that drops if you come.”

“I’m sorry Confused Fox. I’m afraid I can’t attend as there are too many things going on lately.”

“Uh...” Confused Fox was at a loss for words.

“I guess we’ll team up next time.” Confused Fox sighed.

Li Yi had rejected the offer.

The Molten Furnace only had one boss and it had a total of four stages. Since the God Creator Guild was about to reach the third stage, it meant that their party’s equipment was enough to get through the Instance Dungeon.

They were currently stuck at the most crucial stage, the fourth stage!

There were currently at least two thousand guilds stuck at the Molten Furnace Instance Dungeon at the moment. The weak ones would be wiped out at the first stage and the strong ones had managed to reach the fourth stage before being wiped out.

In his past life, the Fire Star Guild was the first to conquer the Molten Furnace. It was also this first feat that made a few members in the Fire Star Guild extremely famous and the reputation of the guild soared through the sky and became one of the first-rated guilds.

The progression of the Molten Furnace Instance Dungeon was too important for every guild. There were multiple guilds that publicly stated that they would give all the equipment to someone who could lead them to victory in this Instance Dungeon.

Li Yi had exhausted 100 Reinforcement Stones and his Frost Longbow was reinforced to +3.

‘That will do for now...’

Li Yi had given up on further reinforcement. The Frost Longbow+3 had similar ATK compared to the Fire Longbow and it could still be used at his level.

“Do you know how to pad your hand? You should reinforce your equipment first and once you start failing consecutively, you then reinforce your intended equipment. It’s a sure fire.”

“Bullsh*t. I’ve padded my hand hundreds of times and wasted at least 3000 Gold Coins. In the end, it’s still a failure.”

“Unlucky. You’re too unlucky. If it’s meant to fail, you’ll never succeed even if you pad your hand 1000 times.”

“Can you stay further away from me? I won’t be able to succeed with you standing so close to me.”

“I hate people like you who would blame the disappearance of gravity when you can’t take a shit.”

“F*ck you. Who are you referring to?”

As Li Yi was about to leave, two players beside the reinforcement furnace started quarreling. It got more and more heated to the point where they were about to go rough on each other.

The two players took a few steps back and put some distance between them as they started chanting spells.

Both of them were Wizards and there was no strategy involved in their PK. When the former uses fireball, the latter would use Frost Arrow to counter. What they were competing was their damage output.

The Fire Wizard soon fell down from the Ice Wizard’s Frost Arrow. While the Ice Wizard’s did not have a high damage output, the Ice Spells possessed slowing and freezing effect, giving the Ice Wizard the upper hand.

“Stand up if you have the balls. Didn’t you say that I’m a bastard? I dare you to say that again.” The Ice Wizard stepped on the Fire Wizard’s corpse with a proud look.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

As the Ice Wizard was still in his happy mood, two black-feathered arrows flew towards him and killed him instantly.

“PK is forbidden in the city and red players will be sent to the small black room.”

The Ice Wizard did not manage to see who had killed him. His vision turned dark and it became even darker as he was directly sent into the Shattered Frost City’s prison, the small black room which was nicknamed by the players.

“The ATK is barely acceptable...”

Li Yi put away his bow, got onto his horse and left the area.

Killing a red player while patrolling around Shattered Frost City as a soldier would grant him 5 points of Soldier Honor Value. He would be able to exchange these points into the Soldier’s Honorable Gift Pack with the Quartermaster.

...

Li Yi got wind of news in the city while he was in the middle of the reputation-related quest.

The Century Flower Guild and Huashan Guild were in a conflict again. The two guilds were locked in a fierce fight as Hua Feiwu and Scumbag Wang fought against each other in the Pinnacle of the Fire...

According to the whistle-blower, Hua Feiwu and Scumbag Wang were happily chatting among themselves when Scumbag Wang nonchalantly said. “F*ck your sister.” What happened next was Hua Feiwu losing his cool and decided to kill all three Huashan Guild’s members on the scene with the help of Old Green. Eventually, both guilds were caught in a slugfest...

Li Yi had his own point in view in this matter. Scumbag Wang was notorious for his irritating mouth and it would be weird that nothing would happen when one placed Hua Feiwu and Scumbag Wang together.

Li Yi returned to the Guild’s Map after finishing his reputation quest and released a new announcement.

“PK in the training field. All members are eligible to enter and 2000 Gold Coins will be rewarded to the first place. Second place will be rewarded with 1000 Gold Coins, third place will have 500 Gold Coins. PK will officially commence at 1530 hours!”

“There’s even money as a reward in a PK? Our guild is really generous when it comes to benefits.”

“Really? Let’s go and have a try.”

Every guild member was excited as Li Yi released such an announcement.

“Brother Yi, you really do love giving away your money to me to the point I feel embarrassed taking it from you.” Chen Yang was the first one to send him a message.

“Don’t even think about being ranked first. I doubt you’ll be able to reach the top three. You should stay modest and focus on getting your dragon equipment.”

“Hmpf. Prepare your money because I’m coming to take it from you. “Chen Yang declared arrogantly.

...

Gold Coins were very easy to obtain in the King of Pantheon for players such as Li Yi. However, it was incredibly difficult for normal players to obtain Gold Coins.

While Li Yi did not see much value in 2000 Gold Coins, it was a considerably huge sum to normal players as they might not be able to earn that much within nine months even if they worked really hard.

As the time approached 1530 hours, people started to gather by the Guild’s Map training field. There were more than 200 guild members at the scene and most of the players that were online had gathered here.

“Brother Might, I have faith in you.”

“Brother Might will surely win. Brother Might will surely win...”

A group of Orc chicks formed a cheerleading team as they cheered for Chen Yang from behind.

Nothing could be said as one could only assume that these chicks who were playing as Orcs were too courageous. Each and every one of them looked terrifying and had large and fierce looking mouths. Although their bodies were incredibly hot, most people who had a normal taste would find it hard to accept such a look. Only those who had a special and unique taste would be interested in them.

Their appearances were terrifying and their classes were not in demand. It would be hard for them to able to join a guild if their operational skills were weak. It was for these reasons that all of them had joined Little Drunk Cat.

As Chen Yang often brought them into the Instance Dungeon unconditionally, his placement within these Orc chicks’ hearts was definitely different from the rest. To them, Chen Yang was placed in the same realm as the Gods...

“Your cheerleaders are too eye-catching.” Li Yi secretly gave Fatty a big thumbs up.

Chen Yang blushed as he turned around and waved at the Orc chicks’ before he walked arrogantly into the training field.

Guild members PKing inside the Guild’s Map would not incur any red names and would not die as well. As their HP dropped to half of their max HP, they would kneel on the ground as an expression of submission.

Everyone of all classes was welcome to go up the stage and it was set up in a point based system. Players would gain 1 point by defeating 1 player and they would advance forward if they obtain 10 points. However, they would be disqualified if they were defeated twice.

Chen Yang raised his staffs and summoned his Fire Spirit that was brimming with fire.

“Who wants to challenge me?”

“Me!”

A warrior walked up to the stage the moment Chen Yang finished speaking. He did not even introduce himself as he pounced directly towards him.

The Fire Spirit Pet raged as it saw the Warrior slashing his master with his sword. It kept spamming its Fire Fist and depleted the Warrior’s HP with just 3 hits. The Warrior groaned as he kneeled on the ground.

As Chen Yang recovered from the stunned status, he laughed loudly as he saw the Warrior kneeling on the ground. Then, he raised his staff up high and said, “Anyone else!”

“Allow me!”

Another person walked up to the training field.

The Fire Spirit gave off a series of angry noises and defeated nine people in a blink of an eye.

Chen Yang had advanced forward without breaking a sweat.

The selection took one hour and 22 members managed to advance to the next phase.

“My level is too low and I’m at a disadvantage. I might have not lost so badly if I’m Level 20.” One Big Bun was sulking as he was hit by three big fireballs and lost his advancement.

“I’m no good. The gap is too big.” Pretty Good Mood shook his head sadly.

As he had learned the Contract of Fire, he followed Li Yi’s advice and contracted the Blackfire Elemental at the volcanic crater. However, he did not manage to level up his Blackfire Elemental as he kept dying in the Instance Dungeon. It was only Level 7 and was instantly killed the moment he went up to the stage.

What else could a summoner who could not summon anything do other than being hit?

“Looks like I’ve picked the wrong class.” Pretty Good Mood and One Big Bun sighed.

Chen Yang and Qing Pingle walked into the training field together.

This was the promotion competition. One would fail when they lost and only the winner would be able to advance forward.

“Give it your all, brother Mighty~” The Orc chicks screamed exaggeratedly...

“You’re pretty good.”

Chen Yang’s arrogant expression disappeared as he saw Qing Pingle was going to be his opponent.

It was no luck that Qing Pingle had survived to the very end when he fought against the Fire Beast. Chen Yang knew very well that all he relied on was his operational techniques.

“Go!”

Qing Pingle leaped to the back as he shot out an arrow while he was in mid-air.

Chen Yang rolled on the floor, evading the arrow as the Fire Spirit Pet quickly moved up.

Qing Pingle quickly pulled some distance away from the Fire Spirit Pet. He started kiting Chen Yang as he ran while shooting his arrows.

Although the Fire Spirit Pet had extraordinary ATK, its speed was extremely slow. Qing Pingle’s kiting strategy had turned Chen Yang into a live training target.

[-67]

[-58]

[-46]

Chen Yang was hit by the arrows constantly, with his HP reducing drastically and was on the defensive during the entire match.

“I’ve chosen the wrong class.” Pretty Good Mood and One Big Bun sighed at the same time again as they watched the fight.

Chen Yang was fortunate that he had chosen the Dwarf race as they were small in size, giving them a high evasion rate. Qing Pingle would have killed him in no time if he was a Giant.

However, the situation was still dire even though Chen Yang was able to evade most of the arrows as his HP bar had dropped by half. He had yet to deal a single blow towards Qing Pingle and he would definitely lose if this kept on.

“Thud. Thud.”

Qing Pingle kept running in circles without stopping as he kited Chen Yang.

“Go for it, Brother Mighty! Go for it, Brother Mighty!” The Orc chicks opened their mouths wide and shouted louder as they realized that Chen Yang was about to lose.

“Give it up. You’re no match for me.” Qing Pingle blew Chen Yang’s confidence away as he shot out his arrows.

Potions were prohibited in a PK. Qing Pingle would not have spoken such a thing if Chen Yang did not have about one-third of his HP left.

“I acknowledge your strength.” Chen Yang continued evading the arrows as best as he could as he persisted on.

“Charge!”

Qing Pingle had been taking note of Chen Yang’s HP and charged towards him immediately as he saw the opportunity to do so.

The Fire Spirit Pet was left in the dust behind him. Chen Yang would definitely die if he managed to charge into him.

“Switch!”

As Qing Pingle was about to hit onto Chen Yang, the latter shouted loudly as his body had mysteriously swapped position with his Fire Spirit Pet.

Qing Pingle had charged into the Fire Spirit Pet. Since the Fire Spirit Pet was an elemental being, it was immune towards stuns and Qing Pingle was still in the state of charging against it.

Qing Pingle was instantly floored as he was hit by the Fire Fist...

The entire match took a turn in one hit!
