At ten in the morning, the preliminary round of the national challenge concluded successfully.
Through this competition, two-thirds of the participating professionals nationwide were eliminated once again!
Currently, in the Dragon Kingdom’s 34 provinces, the number of new professionals advancing to the intermediate round of the national challenge does not exceed 100 per province!
In the next two rounds, the competition will become even fiercer!
Until finally, each country can only send one hundred professionals to participate in the World Finals!
After the competition ended, Zhang Yue logged into the Otherworld.
Lin Tian and the others continued their strategy in the Sixth World.
Zhang Yue, however, entered the Seventh World, the Ottman Tribe.
Meanwhile, Overlord Blade and his team were born in one of the eight tribes of the Slime Empire, the Amon Tribe, because that was the location they chose when they first entered the Seventh World. From then on, every time they entered the Seventh World, they would land at the Amon Tribe.
Having arranged to meet Overlord Blade and his team at the Slime Village, Zhang Yue went to the pharmacy to stock up.
Just as he was about to leave the Ottman Tribe and head to Slime Village, a group of familiar figures suddenly appeared before him!
They were a group of well-equipped, seemingly powerful new professionals.
Leading them was a mage girl in a black robe, arms crossed, exuding an icy allure!
And she was none other than Ling Ke’er!
Seeing Ling Ke’er and the Radiant Wushuang team, Zhang Yue was a bit amused, “Didn’t get enough of a beating from me last time, so you came here for more?”
Ling Ke’er, with a cold expression, looked at Zhang Yue and said indifferently, “Zhang Yue, this is your last chance!”
“Either you submit to me and kill Tian Xin’er for me!”
“Or, die!”
The Radiant Wushuang team actually hoped Zhang Yue would join them.
They all advised Zhang Yue, “Zhang Yue, stop resisting, this time, you can’t win against us.”
“I’m saying this for a reason,” Radiant Wushuang said earnestly to Zhang Yue, “You still have time to make a choice. Otherwise, you will surely die in the Seventh World! Believe me, this time, besides our young lady, no one can save you.”
First, there was Sword Emperor Luo Chen, then Martial Saint Overlord Blade.
In the end, the two experts Radiant spent a fortune to deal with Zhang Yue were both recruited by Zhang Yue to his side…
Zhang Yue was somewhat expectant, “So this time, what surprise do you plan to bring me?”
Ling Ke’er’s beautiful eyes flashed, “So you would rather die than submit to me?”
Zhang Yue replied nonchalantly, “Do you think you have what it takes?”
“Is it because your face is big, or because your hair is long?”
Ling Ke’er stomped her foot in anger, “Your face is big!”
Zhang Yue didn’t have time to waste here, so he turned and left.
“Oh, by the way, a reminder, don’t let me see you outside the Safe Zone, or anyone from Radiant I see, I’ll kill.”
The words Zhang Yue left behind sent a chill down the spines of the Radiant Guild members present.
Watching Zhang Yue’s departing figure, Ling Ke’er snorted coldly, “Zhang Yue, you will come begging to me!”
On the other side, Zhang Yue left the Ottman Tribe and headed towards Slime Village.
On the way, as he passed through a level 46 map, Slime Woodland, he inadvertently saw several pieces of equipment scattered on the ground, along with potions and silver coins.
Zhang Yue couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Currently, in the Seventh World, it’s mostly old professionals who stayed behind to earn medals.
With their strength, how could they be easily killed by level 46 slimes in Slime Woodland?
Could it be the Predator · Taotie that has been appearing in the Seventh World recently?
Feeling sorry for the deceased, Zhang Yue went over to pick up the equipment they dropped.
All of it was 5-star orange to red attribute equipment between levels 45-50!
Really nice!
Just as Zhang Yue finished picking up the items and was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a cold wind coming from his side!
Relying on his extraordinary awareness, Zhang Yue immediately activated Teleportation.
Whoosh!
Just as Zhang Yue completed the Blink, a shadow as fast as lightning swept past the spot where Zhang Yue had been a second ago!
When Zhang Yue came to his senses, the shadow had already launched another assault!
The opponent was so fast that in Zhang Yue’s eyes, it was just a blur, completely indistinguishable!
Zhang Yue dodged with all his might, barely avoiding the attack!
“So fast!” Zhang Yue furrowed his brow, realizing this opponent was no ordinary one!
He immediately summoned the Skeleton King.
Facing the oncoming shadow, he unleashed an S-rank Charge Assault, colliding directly with the shadow!
In the next second, the Skeleton King was shattered by a powerful force, reduced to a pile of bones.
The level 40 Rare Grade Dark Skeleton King, clad in a full 4-star gold Dark Set, was one-shot killed!
However, the Charge Assault skill of the Skeleton King successfully hit the shadow, and although the damage was negligible, the stun effect of the Charge Assault successfully immobilized the shadow!
At this moment, Zhang Yue finally saw clearly that the opponent was a wolf-faced, human-bodied creature covered in black fur with a long tail!
Above its head was a blood-red ID—
Predator · Taotie!
It was indeed this guy!
However, there was no level or grade indicator above the monster’s head.
But for some reason, upon seeing this Predator · Taotie for the first time, Zhang Yue had an inexplicable feeling of déjà vu!
Zhang Yue hadn’t had time to use Scouting to check the monster’s data.
It had already broken free and was charging towards Zhang Yue!
Zhang Yue was a bit surprised.
The Skeleton King’s S-rank Charge Assault had a 1.5-second stun effect, but on this monster, it only lasted about 0.5 seconds before wearing off!
Generally, low-star bosses naturally have only 50% control resistance.
But the control resistance of Predator · Taotie evidently reached around 70%!
Logically, only 10-star bosses could have such high control resistance!
Could this Predator be a 10-star boss?!
Zhang Yue thought again.
“No.”
“Conventional bosses in the Otherworld don’t have such top-notch awareness and operation, this isn’t an ordinary boss, this is…”
Just as Zhang Yue was thinking this, Predator · Taotie had already rushed in front of him.
Zhang Yue used all his skills to dodge the attack while quickly drawing the Death’s Eye and unleashing S-rank Frozen Tundra!
Boom!
Huge ice spikes burst from the ground beneath Predator’s feet, but just as they were about to hit, Predator vanished like lightning.
In an instant, it reappeared in front of Zhang Yue!
Their eyes met, and seeing Predator’s eyes up close, a long-buried memory in Zhang Yue’s mind was suddenly awakened!
“It’s you!”
“I’ve been waiting for you for a whole hundred years!” Predator’s sharp gaze locked onto Zhang Yue, shouting, “Do you know how I’ve lived these hundred years?”
“All thanks to you, even if you change your appearance, I can still smell your scent!”
“Xiu Luo!”
As soon as the words fell, Predator extended its claws and pierced through Zhang Yue’s body with a “pfft”!
The damage was so high that it instantly emptied Zhang Yue’s full health bar.
