“Slash! Interrupt!”
“Boom! Attack!”
“Whoosh! Dodge!”
Zhang Yue and Su Jinyan’s perfect coordination and extreme maneuvers made the BOSS’s health bar gradually decrease, leaving all the professionals from the Supreme Guild in awe.
“Are they really soloing a 3-star BOSS? That’s insane!”
“Who is that girl? She’s so beautiful and her skills are incredible! She’s perfect. If only I had a girlfriend like her!”
“She seems to be the second daughter of the Su Family, a renowned beauty from Coastal City. I heard she awakened a special profession, the Plague Mage, three years ago. She just broke her profession’s limit this year and became an Epic Grade core professional: the Forbidden Mage!”
“An Epic Grade professional?! No wonder she’s so powerful. Every skill she uses can control the BOSS. That’s just too strong!”
Liu Yao couldn’t help but show admiration on his face as he watched Su Jinyan.
“Impressive, indeed very strong! I need to find a way to recruit her into our Supreme Guild!”
Supreme Carefree, his assistant, was incredulous. “Brother Yao, she’s the second daughter of the Su Family…”
Of course, the crowd’s main focus was still on Zhang Yue.
A 3-star BOSS was considered unbeatable at this stage.
Yet Zhang Yue managed to take it on, and his extraordinary maneuvers gave everyone goosebumps!
“How is this Beast Tamer fighting like a Warrior?”
“I have to admit, he’s amazing! This is the first time I’ve seen a Mage with such incredible skills. Now I understand why our Guild Leader is so determined to recruit him!”
On the battlefield.
With Zhang Yue and Su Jinyan’s extreme coordination, the BOSS’s health finally dropped below 1%!
At that moment, Zhang Yue stopped attacking.
Su Jinyan, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong, Zhang Yue? Why aren’t you finishing off the BOSS?”
Zhang Yue stared at the BOSS and said, “I’m the Hidden Secret Realm Activator.”
Hearing this, Su Jinyan seemed to understand something suddenly.
She immediately waved her staff.
Boom! Boom!
Fireball Spell + Radiant Bind, dealing fifty to sixty points of damage each, finished off the BOSS with only 0.1% health left.
Boom!
The massive body of the Dark Zombie Tyrant King fell to the ground.
Instantly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless golden lights rained down on the field, and at least half of the nearly two hundred professionals from the Supreme Guild leveled up!
In the Otherworld, the rules of the Secret Realm were as follows.
Upon completing the prerequisite tasks, as long as someone in the same team participated in killing the gatekeeper, once the gatekeeper was killed, the entire team would be considered to have cleared the Secret Realm and would receive the guaranteed kill experience from the gatekeeper!
Of course, those who exited the Secret Realm midway were not counted.
As a level 17, 3-star BOSS, the Dark Zombie Tyrant King had a total experience value so high that even the 30% guaranteed portion was substantial!
Zhang Yue, due to his high contribution to the BOSS, received the highest 80% combat experience: points!
Su Jinyan, who landed the final blow, received an additional 20% experience, but her contribution was not as high as Zhang Yue’s, so she ultimately received only 71% of the experience.
At the moment the BOSS was defeated, a loud system notification descended from the sky—
【Area Announcement】(Nottingham City): “Ding~ Congratulations to the professional 【Su Ya】 for being the first to clear the level 15 Hidden Secret Realm 【Dark Zombie Nest】, and for receiving the reward 【lv15 Secret Realm Scroll】+1!”
With the announcement, Su Jinyan’s popularity in Nottingham City’s area chat channel skyrocketed:
“Su Ya? Is that the second daughter of the Su Family who awakened an Epic Grade profession?”
“Epic Grade professionals are truly amazing!”
“I’ve always heard that the second daughter of the Su Family is stunningly beautiful but was cursed with an unbreakable Plague Body. Now she truly has both beauty and talent!”
“I wonder what kind of person could be worthy of such a girl…”
As the scattered professionals in Nottingham City discussed this fervently.
Chen Jun shamelessly advertised in the Nottingham City chat area: “Su Ya is a core member of our Mist Rain Pavilion. Did you see that? This is the strength of our Mist Rain Pavilion Guild!”
At this moment, Liu Yao came online: “Pfft! Have some shame! Who was it that just fled in panic in the Secret Realm?”
“What does that have to do with you, you idiot?”
Thus, the chat area became a battleground for Chen Jun and Liu Yao’s personal feud:
【Mist Rain Pavilion, General】: “F*** you! If it weren’t for you messing things up, I would have cleared the Secret Realm long ago! Think you’re all that just because you have some money?”
【Supreme Xingyao】: “Well, you got that right. I have nothing but money!”
【Mist Rain Pavilion, General】: “You think you’re rich? My Chen Family’s assets are worth over a billion!”
【Supreme Xingyao】: “Don’t compare your entire fortune to my pocket money.”
【Mist Rain Pavilion, General】: “Liu Yao, just you wait. One day I’ll take you down!”
【Supreme Xingyao】: “Come on, come at me! I’m waiting!”
“……”
In the Secret Realm, Dark Zombie Nest.
Apart from the first clearers, the other Secret Realm clearers received basic rewards based on their performance: experience points, level 15 1-2 star quality equipment +1, silver coins +1-5, psionic energy +1000-2000.
Zhang Yue received a level 15 2-star 【Magic Hat】.
To be honest, Zhang Yue was not satisfied with this reward.
Because he originally planned to challenge the level 20 Secret Realm Death Zombie Land, where he might have been rewarded with a level 20 3-star equipment!
As for this Dark Zombie Nest, although it could be upgraded to a rare Hidden Secret Realm, as the Secret Realm Activator, even if he cleared the Secret Realm first, he wouldn’t receive the Secret Realm Scroll reward, making it meaningless for Zhang Yue to clear the Hidden Dark Zombie Nest.
Apart from receiving the Hidden Secret Realm activation reward: 50 silver coins, it was essentially the same as clearing a common Dark Zombie Nest.
After all, the only difference between a common Secret Realm and a Hidden Secret Realm was the Secret Realm Scroll reward.
Zhang Yue gave up Death Zombie Land just to get the Golden Secret Order, then use the Golden Secret Order to change the Dark Zombie Nest’s permissions to deal with Chen Jun.
However, in the end, Chen Jun still escaped.
But this time, it was worth it!
Because Zhang Yue didn’t expect that a small lord monster would have a tiny chance to go berserk and evolve into a 3-star BOSS!
The value of a 3-star BOSS was incredibly high!
Higher than that of a level 20 Secret Realm!
Zhang Yue approached the corpse of the Dark Zombie Tyrant King to count his loot.
He had to admit: the drop rate for a 3-star BOSS was indeed high!
Zhang Yue’s total haul included 182 silver coins, one 3-star equipment, two 2-star equipment, two skill books, and a common-grade pet egg!
And several level 3 materials.
Zhang Yue walked over to Su Jinyan to divide the spoils: “A total of 182 silver coins, we’ll split them evenly. One 3-star equipment, it’s for Beast Tamers, so I’ll keep it. The other two 2-star equipment are yours. One skill book each, I’ll take the pet egg, and the materials are yours.”
Zhang Yue understood that without Su Jinyan’s support, he wouldn’t have been able to handle the BOSS alone.
So, he shared the loot fairly, as hoarding everything would be meaningless.
Su Jinyan didn’t refuse and accepted the items Zhang Yue gave her.
Just as Zhang Yue was about to turn and leave.
Su Jinyan suddenly called out to him: “Wait!”
“Take this.”
Zhang Yue turned back to see Su Jinyan handing him a silver scroll.
It was the 15-level Secret Realm Scroll rewarded for the first clear of the Dark Zombie Nest!
“The final blow on the BOSS should have been yours. You let me have it for the Secret Realm Scroll,” Su Jinyan said earnestly, “so this Secret Realm Scroll rightfully belongs to you.”
Zhang Yue took the Secret Realm Scroll and said, “Thanks.”
This scroll would be wasted on Su Jinyan, as she wouldn’t be able to level it up.
Only in Zhang Yue’s hands could it reach its full potential!
At this moment, Su Jinyan bit her lip lightly, her eyes revealing a hint of worry. She looked at Zhang Yue and asked tentatively, “Zhang Yue, the next time we meet, will you see me as an enemy or a friend?”
“Everyone is responsible for their own actions,” Zhang Yue replied. “My only enemy right now is Chen Jun.”
“But, if the other members of Mist Rain Pavilion insist on aiding him, I don’t mind having a few more enemies.”
Hearing this, Su Jinyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then looked at Zhang Yue with her clear, beautiful eyes, raised three fingers, and said earnestly, “I swear, I will never aid him!”
“Just like you, I despise Chen Jun the most!”
Su Jinyan put her small hand behind her back and smiled, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?”
Zhang Yue smiled slightly, “Right.”
