Chapter 439: Simple and violent battle
As compared to others, Teacher Park’s luck wasn’t too good. She was five-star and chose the toughest red difficulty—the enemy’s strengths were definitely high.
She was facing a level-six Steel Dragging Monster. It was a one-meter-tall strength-type monster with a giant rod. It looked similar to a hamster, but it was terrifyingly muscular. It gave one a feeling that it was all muscles apart from bones.
Looking at its level, she was fortunate, but at the number… One could say that she had no luck at all.
Five of them, five level-six.
Such a situation caused the Cloud Peak warriors outside to shudder. They didn’t expect the first stage to be so tough. Then what about the 4th stage? What would they meet then?
Ye Zhongming’s heart felt heavy, and he regretted not shoving the crystal gun at her.
Under such nervousness, she began her battle.
Something that stunned everyone occurred.
She reacted very quickly. The moment these monsters appeared, she started to move. The exquisite crown was on her head, and she pointed forward. Two changes occurred in the arena.
One change was that silver light scattered from the crown and landed around her. When they reached her legs, they disappeared. This continued and gave one a feeling as if one was in a dream.
The second change was that light ripples resonated from the crown, turning the arena into the water's surface. They rippled, and only one straight tunnel was unaffected.
“What is that?”
Everyone didn’t know the skill's effect, so they looked at Ye Zhongming.
“The silver dots are an active skill--- Melancholy Silver Storm; it can absorb all energy that touches them, be it physical or mental attacks.”
Ye Zhongming added Ghost Metal to the few pieces of silver equipment. Without blueprints and his job level not being high, this was the only way he could create a silver piece of equipment.
But Ghost Metal was a top-class thing, and it had never let him down.
This skill was a great defensive ability. It was strong because it could defend against all sorts of attacks. Just this stat alone made many people envy her.
“Dense Ocean, it is an active ability. Those ripples. All beings would have their speed reduced. Their strength, agility, etc, and basic stats will all drop. You are only unaffected if you remain in that tunnel.”
“But the tunnel has a 30% buff to the user.”
Everyone was more envious when they heard it. This skill was very good. Firstly, it was hard to dodge. Especially in this closed space, it would hit. One had two choices: allow their basic stats to be affected or enter that long tunnel. They won’t be affected, but their opponent would be 30% stronger.
Neither choice felt good.
“Could such a thing be traded for a five-star potion?”
As they didn’t have to fight, Liu Zhenghong, Le Dayuan, and Lu Yi were very relaxed. After hearing Ye Zhongming describe the abilities, Liu Zhenghong asked the other two. She felt her skills were already impressive enough to create genetically modified people like the Liao Brothers. But there was still a gap compared to Ye Zhongming’s abilities.
This gap was in terms of efficiency. In terms of technological skill, her ability was much more advanced. But in terms of help to Cloud Peak, at least now, even such a proud person like her couldn’t help but lower her head.
“If there are other abilities, you can trade for a six-star one!” Lu Yi was in charge of trading, so he knew what was valuable at the current stage.
“What an overpowered fellow.” Liu Zhenghong muttered and started to focus on Park Xiuying’s fight.
But they didn’t realize one point. When Ye Zhongming returned, even the most intense battles felt simple for these people. When he disappeared, such a thing didn’t happen at all.
Park Xiuying used the two skills and raised the staff in her hands.
The five Steel Dragging Monsters finally adapted to the Dense Ocean and chose to charge through the tunnel. The first was already close to her.
Diamond Shield!
Another defensive skill appeared around her. Then, she used the active skill.
Humidity Wave!
A giant wave filled the tunnel and headed toward the five level-six lifeforms.
“Pa”. The first rod hit the diamond shield, breaking without surprise. Melancholy Silver Storm’s glow also dimmed. But with both defenses, the attack was blocked. The new Diamond Shield also appeared. At the same time, the first wave hit the monster.
In the next minute, the Cloud Peak warriors saw the outcome.
Wave after wave swept the tunnel. The silver weapon, along with the 30% attack buff. Even level-six monsters couldn’t take it lightly.
One wave might not be much, and even five might not kill these lifeforms.
But… She used several… She closed her eyes.
She used dozens of waves to shatter these monsters and was teleported out. Even then, she didn’t notice what had happened. A few stories of waves still surged out from her staff, making everyone laugh. Ye Zhongming had to call out to her to open her eyes before she stopped. She took the reward and walked over, causing everyone to laugh.
Her face turned even redder.
This battle looked simple and even rash, but this was a perfect coordination of her equipment and skills. It was a match of geography and human skill. If not for that sealed space, it would be more challenging for her to win.
At this point, all from Cloud Peak completed their challenges, and that included the Liao Brothers and Red Hair.
As for the zombies, the wheel didn’t allow them to join in, so they could only watch.
Ye Zhongming naturally looked to the other factions. He knew that the clash between teams would happen after this selection battle!
