When Zhang Yue suddenly posed the question.
Wu Haotian answered without hesitation, “Is there even a question? Of course, I’d save the young master of the Tian Family! If he gives me half his fortune, I’ll retire to the mountains and live a secluded life. Anyone who wants to be a Professional can go ahead!”
At that moment, Ning Tiantian didn’t even think, she truly put herself into the scenario, and anxiously answered, “I’d save Brother Zhang Yue!”
Wu Haotian snickered, “Can you swim, Tiantian?”
Ning Tiantian shook her head, “No…”
Ouyang Ling’er inexplicably got excited, “Is this how we’re playing? Guild Leader, don’t worry, I’ll definitely save you!”
“Why?”
“Because it’s obvious you have a better physique than the young master of the Tian Family! Can I see your abs?”
“……”
Lin Tian shook his head and sighed, “This is clearly a death trap question.”
So, except for Wu Haotian, everyone else chose Zhang Yue.
The next moment, Lin Tian, Ning Tiantian, and Ouyang Ling’er each received the same system message.
“Ding~ You have received 10 million points of Psionic Energy transferred through the Demon Contract from Professional [Zero]!”
For a moment, the three of them felt like they were dreaming.
“Ten million!” Ouyang Ling’er opened her status panel and counted the Psionic Energy, her eyes widening in disbelief, “Oh my god!”
“Guild Leader, where did you get so much Psionic Energy?”
Ouyang Ling’er and the others knew that Zhang Yue had obtained the Demon Contract from a Hell Grade Chest.
But what they couldn’t imagine was how Zhang Yue managed to collect eight figures worth of Psionic Energy in just one day with only a 5% extraction rate!
Ten million Psionic Energy would take any new Professional at least half a year to gather at this stage.
And the three of them combined had thirty million!
While the three were exhilarated by this.
Wu Haotian frowned and said, “Why do you all get ten million, and I only get five million?”
Lin Tian nudged Wu Haotian’s arm, “Death trap question.”
“Damn it!” Wu Haotian finally realized and quickly said, “No, Boss, let me explain! I said I’d save the young master of the Tian Family to get money from them to develop our Temple of Destiny!”
“Do you believe him?” Zhang Yue asked Lin Tian and the others.
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
Missing out on five million Psionic Energy, Wu Haotian regretted it deeply!
So, they used the Psionic Energy on the spot to enhance themselves!
Lin Tian chose to upgrade three B-rank skills to S-rank because the Thunder Mage profession heavily relies on skills.
Ning Tiantian upgraded her A-rank skill [This Milk is Poisonous] to S-rank [This Milk is Highly Toxic] and used the remaining Psionic Energy to refine her equipment.
Ouyang Ling’er and Wu Haotian also chose to enhance their skills and equipment.
Currently, the Psionic Energy from the Demon Contract was limited, so they couldn’t fully enhance everything, but it was a start.
Next, the five of them activated the world BOSS challenge.
Whoosh!
A huge light screen appeared before them, and led by Zhang Yue, they stepped into the light screen.
In the next second, the five appeared in a mountain range littered with corpses.
The silver-white moonlight shone on the scattered bones, creating a desolate scene.
“Ding~ Welcome to the Fifth World: Dark Dungeon World BOSS Challenge! Please kill the world BOSS—Beast Emperor Virga!”
As the system notification ended.
Boom!
The ground shook beneath their feet.
In front of them, a gigantic beast resembling Godzilla broke through the ground!
“A level 40, 5-star BOSS!” Wu Haotian, carrying a flaming spear, stared at the Beast Emperor Virga with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, “Let me test the power of an S-rank skill!”
With that, the level 35 rare Flame Knight Wu Haotian erupted in a burst of intense flames, holding his spear and shield, and charged towards the world BOSS Beast Emperor!
S-rank: Blazing Thrust!
Swoosh!
The flaming spear pierced straight into the right leg of the Beast Emperor, causing an explosion of 2800+ damage above its head!
At the same time, the flames spread from the Beast Emperor’s right leg, engulfing its entire body in a blaze, continuously eroding the Beast Emperor!
Compared to the previous B-rank state, the skill damage increased by at least 40%, and the dazzling skill effects made Wu Haotian ecstatic, “Damn! This is the first time I’ve experienced the power of an S-rank skill!”
Turning around, Wu Haotian proudly showed off, “How’s that, do I look awesome?”
Ouyang Ling’er: “Not looking!”
Not even three seconds of glory.
Before Wu Haotian could finish showing off, he was kicked away by the Beast Emperor!
Face down, he landed hard.
“Damn, that’s ruthless!”
The next moment, Lin Tian, Ning Tiantian, and Ouyang Ling’er sprang into action.
Each unleashed their newly acquired S-rank skills.
S-rank: Thunderstorm!
S-rank: Thunderbolt!
S-rank: Dark Holy Light!
Crackle~
Boom boom!
Endless lightning enveloped the Beast Emperor, with damage numbers ranging from 3000-4000 constantly appearing above its head.
Seeing her teammates’ powerful S-rank skills, the rogue Ouyang Ling’er couldn’t wait to use her own trump card—
S-rank: Sleight of Hand (Advanced Steal)!
“Ding~ You successfully stole [a fang] from Beast Emperor Virga, which will be returned in ten seconds!”
Ouyang Ling’er looked at the giant saliva-covered fang in her hand, sniffed it, and almost passed out.
A rogue’s steal can target an enemy’s weapon.
If the enemy has no weapon, it will target the most lethal item on the enemy’s body.
“What the hell! The Beast Emperor’s most powerful item is its fang? It stinks!” Ouyang Ling’er threw the Beast Emperor’s fang on the ground in disgust.
The next second, the Beast Emperor retaliated.
Roar!
With a thunderous roar.
The remaining fang in its mouth emitted red electric light, attacking everyone indiscriminately!
Boom boom boom boom!
Zhang Yue and Lin Tian dodged the attacks.
On the other side, Wu Haotian, who had just gotten up, was hit by one of the electric lights, getting charred inside and out.
Seeing that her [Sleight of Hand] made the Beast Emperor attack with only one fang, reducing its overall attack strength by half, Ouyang Ling’er proudly said, “Well, this isn’t so bad after all!”
At this moment, Wu Haotian and the others finally realized: in front of Zhang Yue, they were no longer just a bunch of freeloaders!
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue, along with the Dark Skeleton King and the Apocalyptic Black Dragon, launched an attack on the Beast Emperor under the dual domains of intimidation and slaughter.
Boom boom boom boom!
Heavenly Fire!
Frozen Hell!
Apocalyptic Dragon Flame!
Apocalyptic Dragon Breath!
Charge Assault!
A barrage of S-rank skills rained down on the Beast Emperor, rapidly depleting its health bar.
-4798!
-4680!
-!
-!
-3896…
Accumulating over 40,000 damage, they instantly took down a sixth of the Beast Emperor’s health!
Wu Haotian’s newly ignited confidence was instantly extinguished.
“Damn! Alright, we’re still a bunch of freeloaders, confirmed.”
At the front.
The Dark Skeleton King used [Fatal Taunt] to reduce the Beast Emperor’s damage to itself by 30%, combined with the intimidation domain reducing the Beast Emperor’s damage by 15%, the S-rank [Shadow Supreme] providing 20% damage reduction, and the Dark Set providing 10% damage reduction.
Firmly holding the Beast Emperor’s aggro, the level 40, 5-star BOSS Beast Emperor could only deal a pitiful 800-900 damage to the Skeleton King!
For the Skeleton King with its health limit, it was like being scratched!
With the 20% lifesteal effect from the Dark Set, the Skeleton King could easily recover the lost health with each 700-800 point attack.
The Skeleton King had no problem tanking the BOSS.
Zhang Yue, along with the Apocalyptic Black Dragon, Lin Tian, and Ouyang Ling’er, unleashed their full firepower.
A burst of S-rank skills made the Beast Emperor doubt its own existence.
In just half a minute, the battle was over.
This was probably the fastest and most honorable death of a BOSS in the history of the Fifth World!
After all, in previous editions, it was rare for a BOSS to die at the hands of S-rank skills before the Tenth World.
Boom!
As the Beast Emperor fell.
A series of pleasant system notifications rang out.
“Ding~ Congratulations on killing the Fifth World BOSS Beast Emperor Virga, you have received: Experience Points +, Psionic Energy +40 million!”
“Ding~ Demon Contract Psionic Energy +2 million!”
“Ding~ The passage to the Sixth World: Land of Death has been opened!”
【Area Announcement】: “Ding~ Congratulations to Professional [Zero] for killing the world BOSS Beast Emperor Virga and clearing the Fifth World!”
【Area Announcement】: “Ding~ Congratulations to Professional [Infinite Supreme] for killing the world BOSS Beast Emperor Virga and clearing the Fifth World!”
【Area Announcement】: “Ding…”
In the Fifth World, in a level 38 wild area.
Professionals from the Infinity Guild, who were teaming up to kill monsters and complete tasks, were shocked and amazed by the system announcement:
“It seems the Vice President has been doing better since leaving our Infinity Guild and joining Zero.”
“Not just him, look at the former Guild Leader of the God of War Guild, God of War Retribution, he’s also thriving with Zero…”
“I have a feeling our Dragon Kingdom is about to see the rise of a Tier 0 god!”
“Damn it!” The Infinity Sword Saint suddenly felt his position as Vice President of the Infinity Guild wasn’t so appealing anymore, “Why am I suddenly a bit envious of Wu Haotian…”
After all, Zhang Yue was now someone favored by the Tian Family, no longer an unknown rookie.
The news of the Tian Family offering Zhang Yue a dowry worth millions had already spread throughout Coastal City.
This made all the major guilds in Coastal City pay even more attention to Zhang Yue!
Coastal City, Mist Rain Pavilion Guild headquarters, Su Family Building.
Chairman Su Chen summoned Su Jinyan.
“Jinyan, how’s your relationship with that Beast Tamer Zhang Yue lately?”
