The Radiant Guild sure knows how to run away quickly.
After Wolong made his move against Ling Ao and his group, Ling Ao took the opportunity to lead the Radiant members in a hasty retreat.
He knew that with a 500-level Heaven and Earth Mage like Wolong backing Zhang Yue, it was clearly unrealistic to try and kill Zhang Yue under such circumstances.
To avoid Zhang Yue teaming up with Wolong to counterattack the Radiant Guild, Ling Ao naturally had to make a quick escape!
Even though Ling Ke’er was extremely unwilling, this time, she could only follow her father’s arrangements and not act willfully.
On the other side.
After the Radiant Guild retreated, members of the Infinity Guild emerged from the City of Eternal Night.
There was no need for pleasantries.
Infinity Phantom immediately ordered all guild members to head to a level 40 map to help Zhang Yue clear his red name status!
It seemed this was the third time the Infinity Guild had helped Zhang Yue with this task…
But this time, it was the most willing they had ever been!
Because Zhang Yue had saved their lives. If it weren’t for them, Zhang Yue wouldn’t be here killing monsters to clear his red name; he would be at the Sea Restaurant enjoying a feast!
Suddenly remembering tonight’s dinner.
Zhang Yue sent a Feixin message to Tian Xin’er: “Sorry, I might not make it tonight. You guys go ahead and eat without me.”
Before long, Tian Xin’er replied: “I know, my brother already told me and Infinity Phantom! Zhang Yue, on behalf of the Infinity Guild, thank you.”
Zhang Yue closed Feixin and focused on killing monsters to clear his sin value.
After all, this time, his sin value was unprecedentedly high.
Zhang Yue alone had killed over three hundred members of the Radiant Guild, with a sin value exceeding an astonishing 30,000+!
This meant he had to kill 30,000 monsters to restore his white name status!
If he didn’t put in the effort, he would have to camp out in the wild tonight.
Meanwhile, the patriarch of the Tian Family, Tian Ying, was discussing Zhang Yue with a group of family elders.
“What do you think of this young man?”
As soon as Tian Ying finished speaking, the Tian Family elders began to express their opinions:
“His strength is beyond my expectations. At this rate, it won’t take many years for him to become a top-tier professional in our Dragon Kingdom!”
“Anyone who can be protected by a senior like Wolong from Hidden Dragon Mountain is certainly not ordinary. This young man’s background is likely more complex than we imagine. Miss Xin’er’s judgment is indeed excellent!”
Hearing the words he wanted to hear, Tian Ying nodded with a satisfied smile.
Then he turned to Tian Yu and said, “Xiao Yu, take some people to assist Zero in clearing his red name.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Thus, even the Tian Family joined the effort to help Zhang Yue clear his sin value!
As the top family in Tianjing, the professionals of the Tian Family were all elite fighters.
With their full gold attribute equipment, dealing with level 40 monsters was a piece of cake.
Three thousand members from the Tian Family, five hundred from the Infinity Guild.
One could only imagine how spectacular it was for over three thousand people to help Zhang Yue clear his sin value!
With the help of over three thousand people, Zhang Yue managed to clear over 30,000 sin value in just one night!
For Zhang Yue, tonight was not a waste of effort but rather a fruitful endeavor.
By killing the professionals of the Radiant Guild, he looted golden equipment from them, with an estimated market value exceeding 3 million RMB!
Perfect for building up the guild.
It had to be said, the Radiant Guild was much wealthier than Infinity~
Moreover, the high-frequency combat throughout the night allowed Zhang Yue to complete the upgrade task for the [Demon Contract]: accumulating 800 million damage output.
Successfully upgrading the Demon Contract from Elite Grade to Rare Grade!
Not only did it unlock the third effect, but the first two effects were also upgraded:
[Demon Contract] (Growth-type Treasure)
[Type: Versatile]
[Quality: Rare Grade (Upgradeable)]
[Host: Zero]
[Effect 1: Energy Contract (When the host gains Psionic Energy, the Demon Contract will absorb an additional 15% of the Psionic Energy, which can be transferred)]
[Effect 2: Experience Contract (When the host gains Experience Points, the Demon Contract will absorb an additional 15% of the Experience Points, which can be transferred)]
[Effect 3: Gold Contract (When the host gains money, the Demon Contract will absorb an additional 15% of the money)]
[Effect 4: Unlockable upon upgrading to Epic Grade]
[Rare Grade → Epic Grade Upgrade Task: The host must kill three bosses, each with a grade of no less than 6 stars, with each subsequent boss having a star grade +1 (Progress: 0/3)]
[Description: Signing a contract with a demon comes at a price. Do you want to become a demon’s slave or its master…]
Although the currently activated three effects were all auxiliary abilities, their effects were quite impressive!
After restoring his white name status.
As soon as Zhang Yue left the wild area, he encountered Luo Chen, who had been waiting for who knows how long!
Seeing Zhang Yue, Luo Chen immediately said, “I’m sorry, senior. I hope you can forgive my ignorance and offense!”
It was clear that Luo Chen really wanted to return to Hidden Dragon Mountain.
But his master had said: He must obtain Zhang Yue’s forgiveness to go back.
Zhang Yue approached Luo Chen and pretended to ponder, “Do you think I can easily forgive someone who wanted to kill me?”
Luo Chen immediately offered his longsword with both hands to Zhang Yue, saying, “If senior holds a grudge, I am willing to let you kill me once to relieve your anger!”
“Please, senior, forgive me after this!”
Zhang Yue walked past Luo Chen, saying, “Let’s see how you perform.”
Luo Chen was anxious.
If he couldn’t get Zhang Yue’s forgiveness.
Then his master, senior brothers, and sisters would all abandon him.
At this moment, Luo Chen stood there like a child who had done something wrong, feeling lost.
On the other side, Zhang Yue returned to the Safe Zone and went offline.
The equipment dropped by the Radiant Guild, although all 4-star quality golden items, were still too inferior for the Temple of Destiny, where everyone aimed for a full 4-star Dark Set.
So, he put all the equipment dropped by the Radiant Guild up for sale in the Otherworld Marketplace.
Just then, Su Jinyan sent a Feixin message: “Zhang Yue, are you okay?”
“Pretty good,” Zhang Yue replied, “Infinity and the Tian Family have helped me clear my red name. I just went offline and am about to sleep.”
Meanwhile, at the Xingxiu Hotel in Coastal City.
Su Jinyan, who had just finished her bath and was lying on the bed, looked at Zhang Yue’s reply on her phone, feeling a mix of emotions.
Tian Xin’er, as the eldest daughter of the top family in Tianjing, had power and status far beyond what a small Mist Rain Pavilion could compare to.
Tian Xin’er could give Zhang Yue everything he wanted and help him in various ways.
But now, she couldn’t help Zhang Yue at all.
Compared to Tian Xin’er, Su Jinyan felt increasingly insignificant…
“Alright, you rest early then, goodnight.”
“You too, goodnight.”
After sending this message to Zhang Yue, Tian Xin’er, who had just finished her bath and wrapped herself in a towel, jumped into bed.
At this moment, Su Jinyan seemed to remember something and asked, “By the way, Xin’er, you said you wanted to give Zhang Yue a surprise at the restaurant. What was it?”
Tian Xin’er poked her head out of the covers and said regretfully, “I was planning to confess to Zhang Yue, but unfortunately, he didn’t come.”
After a pause, Tian Xin’er continued, “By the way, Su Su, don’t tell Zhang Yue! I’ll confess to him next time I get the chance!”
“Okay, I’ll keep it a secret for you.” Su Jinyan smiled on the surface, but her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
“Xin’er, I really envy you.”
“Envy me for what?”
“For daring to express your love boldly.”
Tian Xin’er giggled, “When I was little, my grandpa told me: ‘Chase your dreams, don’t stop if you want to win!’”
Su Jinyan couldn’t help but think: If only I could have been as straightforward as Tian Xin’er in expressing my feelings to Zhang Yue before she met him.
No matter how he responded, at least I would have said it and had no regrets.
Instead of burying my feelings and hurting alone like now.
The next day.
Zhang Yue spent the morning collecting Dark Set equipment for Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian at the Gate of Hell, then prepared to leave the Fifth World and return to the Sixth World to develop further.
Just then, a system announcement descended from the sky—
[Announcement]: “Ding~ Congratulations to the professional [Luo Chen] for defeating the world boss Beast Emperor Virga and clearing the Fifth World!”
This single announcement shocked all the professionals in the Fifth World:
“Only one announcement… Damn! A god who soloed a world boss?”
“This Luo Chen is awesome!”
Hearing this announcement, Zhang Yue said with satisfaction, “As expected of my grand-disciple.”
