Volume 7, Chapter 23 – Players Left Dumbfounded

“Older brother… my older brother… he… Master… did you see my older brother?”

For Xiaomengyao, the older brother she had depended on since childhood was actually the most important family member to her.

Even though Tianyin was also already an important person, her older brother was also an important person.

Protecting her when things were the most dangerous, staying with her when she had once been at her most helpless.

After all, he was Xiaomengyao’s only blood-related family member left.

“Well, anyway, don’t be anxious yet~”

Looking at her loli disciple’s excited and anxious expression, Tianyin smiled a little helplessly.

“Actually, I’m not sure either, but once your match is over, come confirm it. What if I recognized the wrong person then?”

Even though Tianyin’s intuition was very certain that player should be Duansheng Tingyu. But… Tianyin still couldn’t just swear it to Xiaomengyao with absolute certainty.

What if it backfired…?

Tianyin still had a cautious thought of preventing trouble before it happened.

“Mm… it’s okay, I believe Master.”

Even though she usually liked teasing her master the most, for Xiaomengyao, she was very willing to believe Tianyin’s words.

Even if it really turned out to be wrong information, she wouldn’t blame Tianyin just because of that.

“Alright… then Xiaomengyao, go compete first…”

“Mmhm, Master, wait for me, I’ll be right back!”

Still wanting to see her older brother, so with her heart still a little anxious, Xiaomengyao instinctively wanted to end it fast.

With that thought, Xiaomengyao turned around and stepped onto the battlefield.

And watching Xiaomengyao’s petite figure, Tianyin couldn’t help but curl her lips slightly, showing a gentle smile.

“Good luck, Xiaomengyao.”

On the arena battlefield.

This match was one that drew everyone’s attention.

As an Elite-tier knight, Zhan Wushang could be said to be the publicly recognized strongest Elite-tier knight player among players.

Relying on top-tier battle awareness and footwork, Zhan Wushang was like a dark horse in this knight category tournament, standing out among many knight hidden jobs as an ordinary knight class, winning again and again.

Hidden jobs had an innate advantage compared to ordinary jobs. The same skills, yet possessing powerful abilities that surpassed ordinary jobs.

You could say that under the same tier, hidden jobs generally crushed ordinary jobs.

But on Zhan Wushang, that situation was an exception.

Clearly just a completely ordinary, common knight class, yet when facing hidden jobs that surpassed his own strength, he directly crushed them and beat them down.

Clearly, in terms of skills, he couldn’t take any obvious advantage against hidden jobs.

But his understanding of skills, his grasp of details, almost surpassed the players’ understanding.

In the players’ eyes, Zhan Wushang as an ordinary job was an exceptionally conspicuous player. Among a crowd of hidden jobs, only Zhan Wushang was an ordinary job player.

“Here it comes, here it comes… this one’s probably another crushing match from Zhan Wushang.”

“Open betting, open betting, let’s guess how long the other side lasts before Zhan Wushang beats them?”

“All my assets, I bet five mao the other side can’t hold for one minute!”

“One minute? Are you underestimating Zhan Wushang? I think they won’t even last thirty seconds!”

“No, I think they’ll surrender right away!”

For this fight that seemed to have already decided the winner, the players’ interest was all focused on how long Zhan Wushang would take to end it.

The topic of discussion also centered on that. And on the battlefield, Zhan Wushang in his knight armor stood proudly in place, the long spear in his hand slanting toward the ground, eyes closed.

Suddenly, a pillar of light descended from the sky, landing before Zhan Wushang.

And as the pillar of light appeared, Zhan Wushang slowly, slowly opened his calm eyes.

“It’s here, it’s here, the opponent’s here. Let me see which unlucky bastard is up against Zhan Wushang this time!”

“Hahahaha, no idea who’s so unlucky this time, running into a freak player like Zhan Wushang.”

“Hahahaha, I think the other side will probably surrender as soon as they see Zhan Wushang… hahahaha…”

As the pillar of light gradually faded, the players’ words also became more and more expectant.

And at the final moment the pillar of light disappeared, the figure within it appeared in the players’ view.

“Hiss——”

Some players sucked in a cold breath.

“What!?”

Some players widened their eyes and cried out.

“Hm? What is this? I’m not dreaming, am I?”

Some players let out an exclamation like they were questioning their lives.

Not only the players watching as spectators, even the knight player on the battlefield who was being praised by everyone, the one named Zhan Wushang, also showed a rare serious expression on his face.

“This level… directly more than fifty levels above the players’ average… even for me, that’s a level I’d need two or three months to reach…”

Yes.

The fundamental reason the players were astonished, the reason Zhan Wushang looked serious, was the exaggerated level above the opponent’s head.

“279…”

The most grind-crazy players right now were only around level 225. And that level was publicly recognized as the average level among high-end players.

And at this time… you’re telling me someone’s already leveled to 279, even higher than the high-end players’ average level?

Are you sure you’re not lying?

But the problem was… this really wasn’t a lie.

Because… in the eyes of Zhan Wushang and the hundreds, even thousands of spectator players. Above that player’s head, clearly displayed, was a dazzling level 279 that far exceeded the high-end player level range…

Of course, if it was only that, it could still be accepted. But… the player with level 279 above their head… was actually a little girl who looked not that old?

Mm… can someone tell me, since when did little girls become leveling maniacs?

A crowd of adult players started questioning their lives after seeing the 279 above the little girl’s head. Not just questioning their lives, they also felt their own level was way too shameful…

Of course, the players didn’t know that the little girl’s level wasn’t gained by “leveling” at all.

The little girl’s level was actually gained by “grinding quests”.

Yes, the little girl was Xiaomengyao, the Xiaomengyao who previously relied on that sun’s exclamation mark divine artifact to crazily grind levels.

And unlike the players’ gazes of shock or existential doubt, the moment Xiaomengyao arrived on the battlefield, she did not hesitate at all and drew the Legendary weapon that Tianyin had given her after issuing a quest earlier, the one named “Breath of Roses”.

“I… I didn’t see wrong, right? That sword, the light coming off that sword is definitely a Legendary weapon!”

What Xiaomengyao never expected was that the moment she took out Breath of Roses, the players outside the arena immediately spotted the true quality of the weapon in her hand.

Of course… even if they really knew, it didn’t have any impact. Because as a Legendary weapon, Breath of Roses had the special trait that once bound, it could not be traded and would not drop.

And it was precisely because this weapon had such a trait… that Xiaomengyao dared to pull out this Legendary weapon without panicking at all…
