Under the combined efforts of Zhang Yue and Su Jinyan, the 300 Skeleton Mages were quickly defeated.
Seeing the task completed, Ning Tiantian happily said to Zhang Yue, “Thank you… cousin.”
Then, she turned to Su Jinyan and added, “Thank you too, sister!”
“You’re welcome,” Su Jinyan replied with a smile.
At this moment, Zhang Yue said to Su Jinyan, “I’ll head back to the Fourth World first.”
“Alright!” Su Jinyan checked her level and said, “Once I level up to 25, I’ll join you in the Fourth World!”
Zhang Yue grabbed Ning Tiantian’s wrist and led her out of the Capital of Death.
They arrived at a secluded corner.
Zhang Yue asked Ning Tiantian, “Now can you tell me the secret about Xiu Luo?”
Ning Tiantian looked around to make sure no one was there. She blinked at Zhang Yue and whispered, “Xiu Luo is currently living in Coastal City, in the Shiyue Yating Community.”
Suddenly, Zhang Yue grabbed Ning Tiantian by the throat and coldly questioned, “Who exactly are you?”
“Cough… cough…” Ning Tiantian struggled, her hands clutching Zhang Yue’s arm, “I… I won’t tell anyone about this! I swear…”
Zhang Yue slowly loosened his grip.
“I’ll ask you again, how do you know these things?”
Ning Tiantian wasn’t stupid; she held onto Zhang Yue’s weakness tightly, “I can guarantee that no one else knows about this. I promise to keep your secret!”
“But you have to take me through the Professionals Tournament first, then I’ll tell you the rest of what you want to know.”
“No one else knows?”
Ning Tiantian raised three fingers, “I swear!”
“So, how exactly do you know these things?” Zhang Yue questioned again.
Ning Tiantian replied, “I told you, as long as you…”
“Alright, I got it,” Zhang Yue interrupted before she could finish, “Find me when you’re level 30.”
With that, Zhang Yue turned and left.
He grew more curious about who Ning Tiantian really was.
To ensure safety, Zhang Yue went offline immediately after returning to the Holy Light Cemetery.
He moved out of Shiyue Yating and rented a hotel room nearby for a week, then logged back into the Otherworld.
He entered the Fourth World, Dragon Valley.
Just then, Zhang Yue received a transfer message from Ning Tiantian: 550.
The agreed amount was 560, and Ning Tiantian added a note: “Can I keep ten coins for a cup of tea with milk?”
Zhang Yue didn’t accept the transfer and directly closed Feixin.
With the task [Against the Light 6] in hand, he arrived at lv32 [City of Destruction].
Above the ruined city, countless dragons from the Light and Dark factions flew back and forth.
They were fighting, seemingly vying for control over the City of Destruction!
Zhang Yue’s task was to kill 360 Light Tribe dragons.
Upon entering the city, Zhang Yue locked onto a lv32 [Flame Dragon] and launched his attack!
The Skeleton King taunted and tanked the damage.
Zhang Yue and the Skeleton Warrior provided long-range and close-range attacks.
Fireball Spell + Ice Spike Spell + Lightning Spell + Flame Missile.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
-1460!
-1325!
-2025 critical hit!
-561! -561! -842 critical hit!
With a combo of skills, Zhang Yue instantly took down two-thirds of the Flame Dragon’s health!
While the Flame Dragon was taunted to the ground by the Skeleton King.
The Skeleton Warrior lunged with a large machete.
Slash, slash!
Several slashes later, each dealing over 600 damage, quickly drained the Flame Dragon’s health bar!
Then, the Skeleton King used [Super Light Slash] combined with [Shadow Sword Array] for continuous erosion, dealing 1625+ per second with an additional 660 damage, killing the Flame Dragon!
“Ding~ You have killed lv32 Flame Dragon, Experience Points +330, Psionic Energy +!”
With the [Skill Cost -70] effect from the Necromancer Set, Zhang Yue’s four skills only consumed a little over 100 mana.
With a total mana pool of over 1500, Zhang Yue could kill a dozen more fire dragons before needing to use potions!
So, he locked onto the next target and continued his attack.
As Zhang Yue harvested one fire dragon after another.
The task progress quickly increased.
When Zhang Yue reached the central area of the City of Destruction, he found several corpses of Dark Dragons on the ground that hadn’t respawned yet!
The wounds on the corpses were from arrows, spells, and slashing weapons!
These were clearly not the work of Light Tribe dragons but of Professionals!
Seeing these corpses, Zhang Yue was slightly surprised.
“Have other Professionals already cleared the Third World and reached the Fourth World so quickly?”
“Or are they veterans from previous tournaments?”
As Zhang Yue pondered this.
“Roar!”
With a roar, a Dark Dragon fell from the sky, landing right in front of Zhang Yue!
The Dark Dragon twitched a couple of times on the ground before becoming still.
Beside the corpse, several copper coins and a chunk of meat material dropped.
At the same time, a voice called out from ahead, “Hey, buddy, help us pick up the loot!”
Zhang Yue looked up to see a group of dozens of Professionals on the other side of the dragon’s corpse!
Just as Zhang Yue suspected, there were indeed other Professionals here!
Judging by their levels and IDs, Zhang Yue realized they were all level 24-25 Professionals!
And their IDs all had the prefix [God of War], indicating they were from a guild.
Based on their levels and equipment, they were clearly not veterans but new Professionals from this year!
But in Coastal City, besides Zhang Yue.
The highest level was Su Jinyan at level 24!
Apart from that, only the members of Mist Rain Pavilion and Supreme Guild had relatively high average levels.
Why had Zhang Yue never heard of a guild with Professionals as high as level 24-25?
The one who greeted Zhang Yue was a level 25 Elite Grade [Iron Knight · God of War Invincible].
He was thin, barely able to support the heavy black armor he wore.
With dark skin and a brown perm, he somehow managed to look both tacky and trendy.
Zhang Yue replied indifferently, “No time.”
He then moved forward, avoiding the group.
At this moment, the small group around God of War Invincible whispered as they watched Zhang Yue:
“This guy, a mere Beast Tamer, managed to reach the Fourth World so quickly?”
“He must be a top player, but it’s strange, I didn’t see him in the Third World.”
“Probably a Professional from Coastal City! Don’t forget, the Fourth World connects Ganyang City and Coastal City!”
“Could he be from the Supreme Guild or Mist Rain Pavilion? I heard the headquarters of the top three and top five guilds in Zhening Province are in Coastal City!”
God of War Invincible didn’t care, “Who cares? Let’s continue the task!”
With that, the group continued hunting Dark Dragons.
But when they reached the path Zhang Yue had taken, they were stunned by the numerous Flame Dragon corpses lying around:
“Damn! Why is that guy killing Light Dragons? Is he out of his mind?”
On the other side.
Zhang Yue, along with the Skeleton King and Skeleton Warrior, swept through the City of Destruction.
By six in the evening.
The 360 Light Tribe dragons were finally slain!
Just in time, Zhang Yue’s stomach growled.
Time to log off and eat!
As Zhang Yue prepared to leave the City of Destruction.
Suddenly.
Boom, boom, boom!
The ground shook violently beneath his feet.
Roar—
A deafening dragon roar echoed from beneath the City of Destruction!
