Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2566: Chapter 1212: Free-for-All Duel · Le Le-chan

[This woman... is very strong.]

Standing with hands clasped behind his back amidst the howling sandstorm, Heavenly Dao narrowed his eyes slightly. Unreasonably, he raised the potential threat level of his opponent by several notches, while discreetly constructing two element formations behind himself, ready to unleash defense magic at any moment, and cautiously observing the slender figure not far away.

Although the girl was dressed in a plain black and white robe, far less visually impactful than some opponents Heavenly Dao had encountered in indiscriminately matched battles, in this place, flamboyance and strength never went hand in hand.

Just like Cholera, who appears highly fashionable but is actually a weakling in battle, many seemingly ordinary players might not remain ’modest’ when they really start fighting.

The more stylish one’s outfit, the more formidable they might be. This concept might barely apply in The Realm of Innocence, but in the Public Space, where you can DIY yourself at will, it is utterly meaningless.

However, simplicity doesn’t necessarily mean being powerful, just like that player named "Big-flower Morning Glory" earlier. He looked just ordinary, but when it came to battle... he truly was just that.

Ultimately, it’s like opening a blind box.

Nevertheless, when it came to opening a blind box, Heavenly Dao felt a bit of pressure during the preparatory time just as both sides entered the arena. Even though the other person was just standing there ordinarily, intuition told him that this girl with the ID "Little Le Little Le Unstoppable" was anything but simple.

And since long ago, Heavenly Dao had been very accurate in this intuition!

The reason being nothing else but that Teacher Tian, who surely counted as social elite outside the game, was also considered a strong player within the player community in The Realm of Innocence, being the kind of solid, experienced practical faction player.

The work of the Summer Special Research provided him with a lot of experience points. As one of the earliest teachers to establish a character in The Realm of Innocence, Heavenly Dao’s now major-profession Advanced Stage Lei Mage had reached Level 40 a long time ago, which, in other words, is genuinely at the high-order pinnacle.

It’s easy to understand, even though after Dabus’ frantic overtime their class hours have been tied, but compared to the latter’s record of achieving 100% completion about two times out of ten in "Teaching Tasks", and about seventeen times at around 85% completion, with one instance being below 50% completion, Heavenly Dao was overwhelmingly strong in this aspect.

With an average lesson completion rate of over 95%, this was the report card that Heavenly Dao submitted during this time.

Moreover, unlike Anthony Dubs, the experience value Heavenly Dao accrued was not dispersed among multiple professions, hence he reached Level 40 of the Lei Mage, a level where no more experience could be gained from "Teaching Tasks", early on.

After that, he unlocked the Martial Monk profession through a few simple tasks. Although due to incompatibility with his main profession, the upgrade requirements for Heavenly Dao’s Martial Monk were extremely high, and the foundational attributes easily gained by players whose main profession was Martial Monk were severely reduced, but thanks to the convenience of the profession (as a teacher), he still managed to have the Intermediate Profession Boxer’s level 28 standard, making him a bona fide Magic and Martial Dual Cultivator.

However, due to the equipment and specialization unable to catch up with the top-tier players, Heavenly Dao, despite having the level, hasn’t broken into the personal combat power rankings, but he is undoubtedly a T1-level big player.

It should be specifically noted that, although specialization and equipment aren’t on par with players of the same level, this doesn’t mean that Heavenly Dao is deficient in actual combat experience. In fact, even compared to Dabus, who since joining and until recently has been adventuring continuously, Heavenly Dao’s experience in actual combat is definitely not weak.

The reason is simple. To pass the time, he would often partake in a few rounds of indiscriminate matching in the Public Space arena. Although he has no experience in legion battles, group battles, or squad battles, he is undoubtedly experienced in 1V1 duels.

After all, in this venue where he could don an alias, it’s one of the rare places where Heavenly Dao could indulge his inner nerd.

Moreover, not long before, he found that although indiscriminate matching can’t improve his specialization level, after participating in numerous matches within the Public Space, he could easily boost his commonly used specializations when returning to The Realm of Innocence with just a little practice.

This hidden setting is known to very few, even Motan, who has a penchant for exploiting system loopholes under certain circumstances, has not noticed it.

Partly because the latter has hardly played such matching games, and partly because the vast majority of players aren’t like Heavenly Dao, who won’t normally engage in actual combat in The Realm of Innocence, making the effect not very noticeable.

In summary, Heavenly Dao could already be considered a strong player. In terms of level, he could crush seventy percent of the top 200 individuals on the personal power rankings. Although his equipment and specialization aren’t on par, his rich actual combat experience, if used solely in indiscriminate matching mode, might not be inferior to many players within the top (200) rankings.

So, when he feels that the opponent before him is strong, it signifies that the opponent’s strength—indeed, is very strong!

As for precisely how strong?

Heavenly Dao surely doesn’t know since he doesn’t have God’s Eye View.

But we do!

Yes, everyone must have already guessed it. The mysterious beautiful girl opponent whom Heavenly Dao randomly encountered, named "Little Le Little Le Unstoppable," is indeed—
