In his previous life, Zhang Yue, known as the “Xiu Luo God,” became the strongest in the Dragon Kingdom of the Otherworld and ultimately defeated the ninth-level Beast Tide, not because of luck.
Before the Otherworld descended, Zhang Yue, a member of the Dragon Kingdom’s special forces “War Dragon,” relied on his extraordinary constitution and keen senses to remain a Tier 0 expert from the First World to the Seventieth World.
Thus, during the conquest of the Otherworld, Zhang Yue was always among the first professionals to step into each new world, enjoying absolute priority in exploration.
When he first entered the Sixth World as Xiu Luo, Zhang Yue discovered an SSS-level reward but ultimately missed it due to insufficient strength.
In this life, Zhang Yue is absolutely confident that he can make up for the regrets of his previous life and claim that SSS-level reward!
To access this SSS-level reward, every step from the moment he enters the Sixth World must be flawless!
So, after resupplying at the pharmacy, the five of them stepped out of the City of Ice and Snow.
Outside the city, a lifeless snowy landscape stretched as far as the eye could see, blanketed in pure white snow.
Amidst this snowfield stood numerous “snowmen”!
These were the creations of the human Archmage, Frost Pharaoh Norn.
To resist the powerful “Nether Legion” under the Death Sovereign Kira, Norn used his life to condense frost magic, creating the City of Ice and Snow while freezing the entire Sixth World!
However, unlike the ice corpses within the city, the Nether Legion outside was merely frozen.
Once a living being appeared within the vicinity, they could sense the body heat, melt the frost on their bodies, and be reborn!
As they looked around at the “snowmen” scattered everywhere, their guide Ouyang Ling’er explained, “According to the strategy guide, the drop rate of resurrection stone fragments from these scattered Nether Warriors is ridiculously low. We’d better find a map to farm.”
At this moment, Lin Tian checked the map and said, “Let’s go to the Nether Hall. The level 41 monsters there are easier to kill and drop fragments more frequently.”
So, following the map’s guidance, the five of them traveled for ten minutes and arrived at the level 41 Nether Hall in the eastern part of the City of Ice and Snow.
Looking around, they saw a group of professionals teaming up to hunt the Nether Warriors within the grand hall nestled in the snowfield!
Seeing this, Wu Haotian exclaimed in surprise, “Are you kidding me? Weren’t we supposed to be the first to enter the Sixth World? How did someone get here before us??”
“Silly boy, those are old professionals from previous years!” Ouyang Ling’er said, “Every year, many professionals deliberately stay in the Sixth World to farm high-level rewards, ranging from a few years to several decades!”
Wu Haotian was incredulous, “Staying in the Sixth World for decades? Are they crazy?”
Lin Tian, looking at the group of professionals in the Nether Hall, all at the level cap of 45 for the Sixth World, lightly tapped his glasses with his index finger and said, “In the Sixth World, once you farm an S-rank or higher reward, the value of what you get is enough to ensure a lifetime of wealth and comfort for a professional.”
“For some people looking to get rich overnight, this is their best shortcut.”
Ouyang Ling’er shrugged, “Unfortunately, some people spend their entire lives and never farm an S-rank reward. The rewards in the Sixth World are a matter of luck.”
With that, the five of them stepped into the Nether Hall.
At this moment, the group of level 45 old professionals slaughtering the Nether Warriors also noticed Zhang Yue and his companions.
Seeing that Lin Tian and the others were only around level 35, the professionals understood, “Oh, these are the new professionals of this year!”
“Brothers, it’s time to show off!”
A few old bachelors, looking to be around thirty years old, whistled at Ning Tiantian and Ouyang Ling’er.
“Hey, beauties, want us to help you kill monsters? We’ve been in the Sixth World for over a decade, way stronger than those three losers!”
The “losers” naturally referred to Zhang Yue and his two companions.
At this moment, Ouyang Ling’er put her hands on her hips and retorted confidently, “You guys may have higher levels, but you’re not necessarily stronger than us!”
The old professionals laughed, “A bunch of newly minted level 35 professionals, where does this confidence come from?”
“Stronger than us? I’ll livestream myself eating shit!”
“Strong Bro is at it again, scamming for food and drinks!”
“Hahaha!”
Ignoring the old professionals’ taunts, Zhang Yue focused on the task at hand.
Just then, a “snowman” in front of them began to thaw.
A level 41 Nether Warrior, clad in fully enclosed black armor and wielding a battle blade, with eyes gleaming coldly, came into view.
The level 41 Nether Warrior charged at Zhang Yue and his group with its battle blade!
Zhang Yue raised the “Demon·Death’s Eye” and quickly cast a spell.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
A series of S-rank skill combos dealt 4000-5000 damage, instantly taking away half of the Nether Warrior’s health.
Following closely, the Apocalyptic Black Dragon unleashed an S-rank Apocalyptic Dragon Flame and Apocalyptic Dragon Breath, dealing over 9000 damage each, leaving the Nether Warrior critically injured.
The Dark Skeleton King then executed a Charge Assault and a close-range Ultra Light Slash, easily slaying the Nether Warrior.
The battle ended in 3 seconds.
At that moment, the old professionals who had been mocking Zhang Yue and his group were left dumbfounded.
“Holy crap! So strong, are these really this year’s new professionals?”
“That Black Dragon must be Mythic Grade! Its damage is higher than mine!”
While they were still in shock, Ouyang Ling’er didn’t miss the chance to add, “Hey, Strong Bro, don’t forget to livestream eating shit! Let me know which platform, and I’ll send you some gifts!”
The old professionals, now silent, turned to kill more monsters with darkened faces.
In the team state, Zhang Yue gained 70% of the experience: 490 points from killing the Nether Warrior.
The first Nether Warrior didn’t drop any resurrection stone fragments.
They then set their sights on the next target.
Their overwhelming strength made the level 41 Nether Warriors seem like tofu blocks easily sliced by Zhang Yue.
However, Zhang Yue felt a bit inadequate, “The damage is too low, I need to improve.”
“Is that even human talk?” Wu Haotian couldn’t help but say, “That’s so pretentious!”
In fact, it was somewhat embarrassing that his combat power as the master was lower than that of the Apocalyptic Black Dragon.
If it weren’t for the Necromancer pet’s infinite loyalty, Zhang Yue would worry that the Apocalyptic Black Dragon might look down on him and rebel someday.
Currently, Zhang Yue’s greatest hope lay in the Death’s Eye.
Logically, it belonged to special equipment plus the Grim Reaper Set.
Zhang Yue speculated that when the purity of the demon blood reached 100%, the exclusive hidden event of the Death’s Eye would likely be related to the “Grim Reaper Set”!
If that were the case, it would mean Zhang Yue might obtain a five-star quality Grim Reaper Set!
That would be Zhang Yue’s chance to surpass the Apocalyptic Black Dragon in strength…
Besides, improving his strength was also to face the professionals’ tournament in the best condition.
The mysterious person who knew Zhang Yue’s identity as “Xiu Luo” through a letter had said they would meet at the national challenge.
Zhang Yue was curious to see who this person really was.
