After killing more than a dozen gnolls and more than a dozen tiger beasts, in addition to the talent stun, my damage increased by 3000 points, my Immortal Heart increased by 30 points in all attributes, my experience increased by 259 points, and I also got the first kill reward for killing a gold-level elite monster.

80 gold coins, 80 free points, 40 skill points, 20 career points, and a gold-level treasure chest.

It would be a waste to simply discard the corpse of the Gold-grade Tiger King, so Jiang Hao used a resurrection skill. Half a minute later, a massive skeletal tiger summon stood before Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao's heart stirred, and he used the Soul Link skill on this new summoned creature. A wisp of purple light flew out from his mind, and Jiang Hao felt a wave of dizziness. It was just like when he broke the God-Slaying Curse in Jinling City, when the guardian Mingdu severed half of his soul, only the pain was not as severe this time.

Jiang Hao recovered in no time.

The purple light flew into the Skeleton Tiger King's head, intertwining with the ghostly blue soul fire. A moment later, the purple light flashed and completely entered the ghostly blue soul fire. Then Jiang Hao realized that he could control the Skeleton Tiger King in every way. Unlike the previous method of a summoner controlling summoned creatures by issuing commands, this control felt like control from the soul itself. Whether he stepped with his left or right leg, it was as smooth as an extension of his arm, without any hindrance.

Just like himself, he was a tiger in himself.

The feeling was strange. Jiang Hao could control his human body at any time, and also freely control a tiger's body. It was as if he had an extra tiger clone, and both bodies were under the control of a single head. His brain could process and respond to what he saw and heard simultaneously, just as it could to what the tiger saw and heard.

Is this what soul connection is?

If one day Jiang Hao splits his soul into countless parts, and then links each part to a summoned object, wouldn't that mean he would have countless clones?

Unbelievable!

Incredibly powerful!

If Lingxu allowed players to bring a skill into reality, Jiang Hao would definitely choose Soul Link!

Not knowing where the Legion Token would drop, Jiang Hao prayed that the other players wouldn't be so lucky, while continuing to walk towards the center of the battlefield with his summoned Skeleton Tiger.

Not far along, Jiang Hao saw dozens more silver-level tigers. Just as he was about to raise his staff to attack, a strange scene made him stop.

A level 18 player was seen attacking one of the tigers in the pack, while the other tigers seemed oblivious to him. Even more strangely, the tiger being attacked appeared completely unaware of the player.

This is rather strange! Normally, every monster has an aggro range. Once a player enters their detection range, it will immediately trigger their aggro. What awaits the player is their ferocious attack. If it were another tiger, perhaps because its aggro range is smaller and it didn't notice the player, that could be somewhat explained. But what's going on with the tiger that was being attacked? Jiang Hao could tell that the tiger was absolutely not under any control. It even leisurely walked a few steps, then comfortably lay down on a patch of grass, its head still raised, constantly scanning its surroundings. It was as if the player's attack was nothing more than a mosquito to it.

Something's not right!

Jiang Hao looked at the player again. Level 18, an assassin, that was true, but he wasn't invisible. Jiang Hao had seen assassins become invisible before; if it was a teammate, you could see a transparent phantom. If it wasn't a teammate, an assassin's invisibility meant you couldn't see anything. But this assassin, Jiang Hao could see him clearly. The two daggers in his hands were flashing, constantly attacking the tiger's nape.

Even if someone is an idiot, they would still know to dodge when they're being hit, right?

What... what's going on here?

Jiang Hao simply cast a detection spell on the player to find out what was going on.

Even thieves have their code of honor.

Level: 18

Quality: Two stars

Occupation: Assassin

Faction: Player No. 001 from Shanghai District

Health Points: 68,000

Physical attack: 28,000

Physical defense: 0.25 million

Speed: 14,000

Skill: Undetectable

Talent: Undetectable

Jiang Hao immediately collapsed to the ground in disbelief!

Player #001 from the Shanghai district, no wonder his health bar is red, turns out he's not from the same starting area as Jiang Hao. But these stats are really a bit overpowered, aren't they?

First of all, his two-star quality is already on par with Jiang Hao's. Jiang Hao passed the two-star trial thanks to his extraordinary talent. Could it be that this assassin also possesses some kind of extraordinary talent?

Secondly, there's this assassin's insane stats. Assuming a two-star quality assassin with Agility at 500 per level, this guy's Agility should be around 9000. His speed of 14,000 indicates his equipment is definitely not basic. It's likely even better than most players' gear, only slightly inferior to Jiang Hao's.

Jiang Hao had no doubt that if he hadn't had such a powerful talent, hadn't drawn such a special class as the Necromancer, and hadn't had such a monstrous skill as Resurrection, all the first kill rewards would probably have gone to this assassin.

Jiang Hao was only surprised for a moment when the assassin had already killed the silver-level tiger. Jiang Hao had no doubt that if the assassin attacked at the maximum speed of 28 attacks per second, the tiger with 1.56 million health points would not have lasted more than 3 seconds.

He was even fighting monsters without any rush, looking very relaxed!

Why have I never heard of such a person in Shanghai?

That's right. He's been playing single-player mode since the server opened, so he hasn't paid attention to other players.

Even now, Jiang Hao still can't understand how this assassin managed to attack monsters without the monsters retaliating.

That's absolutely outrageous.

As if sensing Jiang Hao's gaze, the assassin looked over. Upon seeing Jiang Hao alone with the skeleton, he immediately activated stealth, his figure vanishing from the spot in an instant.

They're quite vigilant.

Jiang Hao smiled and shook his head; he had no intention of attacking the opponent. Now that players from all over the world were on this battlefield, uniting against a common enemy was what every player from the Rabbit Country should do. With this assassin around, the Rabbit Country players had a better chance of winning the final victory. However, Jiang Hao also knew that not every citizen of the Rabbit Country possessed this awareness; otherwise, in the real world, the historical war against invasion wouldn't have lasted so long.

As for the assassin's sneak attack?

Jiang Hao wasn't afraid at all!

If he dares to show himself and attack, Jiang Hao's other clone, the summoned Skeleton Tiger, will send him home immediately!

Hoping he wouldn't do anything foolish, Jiang Hao remained vigilant as he continued southward.
