After the battle began, Yu Xunge, Fuxiao Xianchan, and the others would occasionally steal glances at Zhu Ri. Huang Jin, who knew of Li Jue's existence, even ran next to Zhu Ri, fighting while observing him closely, much like a stalker.
Each attack only takes away a small amount of the opponent's health. This game mechanism is perfect for assassins like Zhu Ri. Her daggers danced in afterimages, and the clanging of her weapon blocking never stopped. Her health is still full.
Although he still uses a dagger, Zhu Ri's fighting style has changed significantly. It's not just about getting stronger; some of his attack habits have changed.
This change might not seem like much to others, but it was quite shocking to someone as arrogant as Zhu Ri. It meant that she recognized that another attack pattern was stronger and better than her original attack habits, which was why she made the change.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Huang Jin's foolish expression. Zhu Ri smiled, a smile devoid of warmth and tinged with provocation. She asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Huang Jin smiled slightly: "Looking for you."
Only after laughing did he focus on the battle.
Although the way Zhu Ri fights has changed drastically, just as the apprentice said, Zhu Ri is still Zhu Ri, not some kind of raccoon.
Zhu Ri's expression improved upon hearing the ambiguous phrase "I'm looking for you."
How could she not know what these people know...? She only knows more.
When the apprentice was young, she said that she was the most hated elf in the entire universe. That was only because the apprentice was naive and inexperienced. If she knew the Fox Lord, she would know that he was the real answer.
Zhu Ri dodged several weapons that were swung at him simultaneously, preferring to temporarily give up the opportunity to attack rather than allow himself to be attacked.
Healing skills are unavailable in this game, and after being attacked, you can only wait. It only restores 1 point of health every 10 minutes, and it's unknown whether there will be a break between games, so she won't be aggressive.
Even though her healing skills were useless, she casually tied the useless balloon to the decorations on her waist, which could barely be considered a smoke bomb to attract some of the enemy's attention.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw 11 useless balloons floating around the field, 1234... Clearly, everyone else thought the same thing.
When attributes are similar, and mana is limited by intelligence and cannot be healed, players who have accumulated their power over time to reach the top of the leaderboard are quickly eliminated, like the tide receding to reveal the truth.
Players who have lost their drive will not be able to seize the opportunity to learn from the gods, even if given the chance.
This game wasn't too difficult for players with top-tier combat skills. The students on the dull side were among the first to get into combat mode. Most of their 30 days of learning had been theoretical and creative, but the constant sneak attacks from the flying balls kept them in a state of readiness for battle at any moment.
The longsword slashed through the last player's vitals, and the runes above Yu Xunge's head disappeared and were transferred to the fluorescent area on the edge of the clock face, signifying that she had successfully advanced.
She planted her longsword in the ground and continued to observe the players on the field. The number of online players for this divine lesson was less than 10,000, and the number of players on each broken bell platform was just over 900. In other words, at least three-quarters of the players would be eliminated in this preliminary round alone.
Almost simultaneously with her, Zhu Ri appeared beside her in a flash.
The two looked at the battlefield to observe their next opponent. Yu Xunge spoke first: "I heard you've become very strong. Our instructors told us to be careful of you." She wanted to observe Zhu Ri's battle situation as soon as she advanced, but she didn't expect that he had also advanced, so she didn't see anything.
He corrected himself daily, saying, "It means becoming stronger."
"..." Yu Xunge fell silent. That's how Zhu Ri is; he can kill a conversation with ease.
But after only a dozen seconds of silence, Yu Xunge couldn't help but ask, "Why did you want to take me away when you passed by the lake under the bridge back then?"
A hint of helplessness flashed across Zhu Ri's brows. From the conversation between Xun Ge and Huang Jin, she knew that her apprentice had seen the scene before Li Jue's death, and she also knew why the other party had asked that question.
Apprentices who are young wouldn't care about such issues, but older apprentices are extremely concerned about whether someone's kindness towards them is tainted by ulterior motives or influenced by something.
But she didn't correct this emotional weakness as harshly as she would correct every mistake the opponent made in battle.
Zhu Ri softened his tone and patiently explained, "It was to find an apprentice for Wailing, so she wouldn't be so idle."
After explaining this sentence, Zhu Ri himself wondered if he had been too gentle with his apprentice.
"Then why did you keep me?"
"…Stop this nonsense." Her patience finally ran out. She warned, adding, "Have you forgotten? You bought yourself and chose to stay by my side! I can't get rid of you! And you still say I'm your destined apprentice~"
"..." Yu Xunge behaved herself, but she still glanced at Zhu Ri with an unhappy look, trying to express her displeasure.
She silently took out the "Raging Moon" and examined the lantern with a suspicious look.
The moon inside the lampshade twinkled, conveying its innermost thoughts.
"You're the one who dug me out, and you've been working so hard to level me up."
Yu Xunge expressionlessly stuffed the talkative lantern back into the gashapon machine.
She quieted down, but Zhu Ri clearly still had questions to ask: "Did Li Jue lose badly?"
Although she knew that before Li Jue died, he had sent a wisp of his consciousness into the sea of stars and stored a piece of his aura in the [Raging Moon], burning the last flame of his soul to attack Li Jue in the mountains, those were all Li Jue's words. Li Jue liked to beautify and exaggerate his words the most.
Yu Xunge immediately shook his head, and then solemnly said, "It's not bad. She also predicted the future of the Star Sea, which is what will happen in this era."
Zhu Ri's expression turned serious. She turned her gaze from the battlefield to her apprentice: "What future?"
Yu Xunge raised his palm to his lips, curled his fingers, and looked as if this was a major secret he couldn't say out loud.
Every day, he bent down slightly and brought his ear closer, his eyebrows furrowing slightly because of the atmosphere.
The apprentice said, "She said that many years later, when the [Raging Moon] finds a being who, like her, willingly enters the prison of this world, that will be the time when the mountains are in chaos! I'll tell you quietly, you can tell others that I am the being that the Fox Lord prophesied."
day by day:"……"
