As the Apocalyptic Black Dragon unleashed two S-rank AOE skills, dealing over 210,000 damage, it instantly obliterated dozens of parasites in the area.
Around them, the onlookers who had been mocking Zhang Yue just a second ago were now gaping wide enough to fit an entire durian in their mouths.
Meanwhile, the surrounding parasites began to close in.
With the Apocalyptic Dragon Flame and Apocalyptic Dragon Breath on cooldown, the Apocalyptic Black Dragon resorted to single-target skills and basic attacks to crush the parasites.
Three shots per second, each basic attack dealing over 170,000 crit damage, was enough to instantly kill a parasite with a health limit of 400,000.
At the same time, the Shadow Predator darted through the swarm like a bolt of lightning.
In comparison, the latter had even higher single-target burst capability.
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
With each strike, massive crit damage of over 300,000 connected in a continuous stream, reaping countless parasites!
Zhang Yue looked at his own measly 60,000 to 70,000 damage and decided…
“Forget it, I’ll do nothing!”
Zhang Yue couldn’t be bothered to fight anymore and started picking up loot instead!
After collecting energy crystal shards for a while, Zhang Yue’s back was sore.
Inexplicably, he started to miss the Skeleton King!
The hunting prowess of the Apocalyptic Black Dragon and the Shadow Predator was so overwhelming that the mouths of the veteran professionals around them kept widening—from fitting a durian to being able to fit an entire cow!
After all, these were seasoned professionals who had been in the Tenth World for years, even decades, and could only deal around ten thousand damage to the parasites at best.
Yet Zhang Yue’s two pets could deal hundreds of thousands of damage with a flick of a finger, which was simply insane!
Before long, Li Li gave up fighting monsters and joined in the loot collecting.
She clearly had a realistic understanding of her own combat abilities.
While Zhang Yue was collecting energy crystal shards, he also used them to upgrade his wings.
Due to the Tenth World’s wing upgrade task, professionals had to upgrade from white wings step by step to orange, without taking shortcuts.
Thus, Zhang Yue took out the white wings he had received as a system reward at the start.
He extracted the energy crystal shards and fused them with the wings.
“Ding~ Your [White Wings] absorbed energy crystal shards, Experience Points +0.2!”
“Ding~ Your [White Wings] absorbed energy crystal shards, Experience Points +0.3!”
“Ding…”
After continuously absorbing dozens of energy crystal shards, Zhang Yue discovered that each shard could provide between 0.1 and 0.5 experience points.
Upgrading white wings to green required 100 experience points.
In the end, Zhang Yue consumed over 300 energy crystal shards to finally gain 100 experience points!
Once the experience points were full, psionic energy was needed for the upgrade.
By consuming 100,000 points of psionic energy, Zhang Yue upgraded his white wings to green!
However, upgrading from green to blue required a whopping 500 experience points!
Even after using all the energy crystal shards collected from the first-level beast tide and recent monster hunts, he only gained 200 experience points!
Next, he would continue hunting parasites to collect energy crystal shards.
During this process, lord-level parasitic beasts would occasionally refresh within the swarm, which were also within Zhang Yue’s hunting range.
Because World Task Two required the killing of ten lord-level monsters!
Thus, while it normally took a whole day for someone to upgrade their wings from white to green, Zhang Yue managed to upgrade to blue wings in just one morning!
Just as Zhang Yue was thinking about returning to town to log off for lunch and continue in the afternoon, a large group of professionals hurried over!
When Li Li saw the faces of the newcomers, she was instantly terrified!
Because leading the group rushing over was none other than Li Ming and Li Xinhui, who had driven Li Li’s family out of the Li family!
According to Li Li’s knowledge, Li Ming and Li Xinhui’s Otherworld strategy progress had long reached over fifty worlds.
They must have come all the way from the advanced worlds to the Tenth World specifically for her!
Li Li thought: It’s over, it’s over!
“We’ve already left the Li family, why won’t you let us go?”
Seeing the level 250 sixth-transition Knight Li Ming and the level 250 sixth-transition Archer Li Xinhui charging over with a group of people, Li Li cried out in despair.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Li Ming and Li Xinhui both knelt before Li Li with a “thud”!
“Ah Li, for the sake of our uncle-nephew relationship, please spare us!”
“Yes, yes, we were too excessive before. We shouldn’t have driven you and your parents out of the family. It was our fault! Ah Li, please forgive your second uncle!”
Li Li was bewildered.
She couldn’t believe that this scene was actually happening!
Suddenly, she remembered something Zhang Yue had said earlier: Within three hours, I’ll have your uncles kneeling before you, begging for forgiveness!
Li Li turned to look at Zhang Yue, only to see him standing calmly with his arms crossed, as if nothing had happened.
It seemed that not long ago, under some intense threat, Li Ming was now pleading with Li Li in panic: “Ah Li, your uncle was wrong, truly wrong. Please ask that Heaven and Earth Mage to stop! We won’t bully you anymore!”
It turned out that half an hour ago, Li Ming and Li Xinhui had been leading a group of family professionals in the Fifty-Eighth World.
But suddenly, an elderly mage barged in, and without a word, cast an SSSSS-grade forbidden spell, wiping out the map they were leveling on!
The old mage declared: If they couldn’t secure the forgiveness of a girl named Li Li, he would make the Li family disappear from this world.
Terrified, Li Ming and Li Xinhui practically crawled from the Fifty-Eighth World to the Tenth World!
At this moment, Li Li felt a bit soft-hearted.
But remembering how heartlessly Li Ming and Li Xinhui had treated her and her parents before, any remaining sympathy for her uncles vanished instantly.
“Fine, if you voluntarily leave the Li family immediately, I’ll let you go.”
“This…” Li Ming and Li Xinhui exchanged glances and said, “Ah Li, we’re still your uncles. Do you really have to be so heartless?”
“An eye for an eye.” Li Li said coldly, “The way you treated me and my parents is the way I’ll treat you!”
Seeing Li Li’s firm stance, Zhang Yue murmured, “This little girl is quite like Sister Xuan.”
Li Ming and Li Xinhui were about to plead when Zhang Yue suddenly spoke, “Was her message not clear enough?”
“Get out of my sight in three seconds.”
Seeing Zhang Yue, Li Ming and Li Xinhui were shocked.
Because the old mage [Lv500 Nine-Transition Heaven and Earth Mage Wolong] had said he was acting on orders.
And the one he was following was Zero!
Although just a newly emerged professional, it was evident from Zhang Yue’s aura that it was far stronger than that of the 500-level Nine-Transition Heaven and Earth Mage Wolong!
Even putting aside the aura, the fact that a 500-level Nine-Transition Heaven and Earth Mage had to obey Zhang Yue’s command was enough to show that Zhang Yue’s identity was extraordinary!
Intimidated by Zhang Yue’s presence, Li Ming and Li Xinhui hurriedly scrambled away.
As a result, when it was time to log off for lunch, Li Li received a call from her father.
On the phone, her father was incredibly excited and thrilled.
The gist was: Her father, Li Wu, had received news from the family that Li Ming and Li Xinhui had resigned voluntarily, leaving the Li family leaderless, and they were asking Li Wu to return and take charge!
At that moment, Li Li was moved to tears: “I can finally… go home!”
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After logging off, Zhang Yue invited Wolong, who happened to be in Tianjing, to join him for a meal.
At that moment, Zhang Yue suddenly felt that having Wolong as a disciple was indeed somewhat useful!
Coincidentally, Zhang Yue had a question he wanted to ask Wolong.
So he asked, “Dragon, let me ask you something, answer honestly.”
Wolong agreed, “What question does Master have?”
“Where is Dragon Two?”
Wolong suddenly fell silent.
After a long while, he finally said, “After we finish eating, I’ll take Master to see Dragon Two.”
After the meal.
Wolong took Zhang Yue to a place in the outskirts of Tianjing.
And Zhang Yue discovered that they had arrived at a cemetery.
At that moment, Zhang Yue felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Wolong entered the cemetery and walked straight to a tombstone, stopping in front of it.
Facing the tombstone, he said in a heavy voice, “Dragon Two, I’ve brought Master to see you.”
