There were a total of 8 people. 3 of them were standing and vomiting while fighting, while the other 5 were lying in a pile of vomit and vomiting while fighting.
These are all the warriors from Novice Village No. 006 in Shanghai.
The legendary monster had nearly a hundred billion HP, and its defense far exceeded the physical attack limit of everyone present. Without Jiang Hao's true damage bonus from his talent, the group wouldn't have been able to damage it at all.
Jiang Hao relentlessly struck the monster's head at a rate of nearly a hundred times per second. The others, however, lacked both his superior attack power and speed. Yet, they still managed to withstand the immense pressure and continue attacking the monster, which surprised Jiang Hao.
The monster's health dropped at a visible rate. After about half a minute, its health bar was emptied, and it disappeared from the battlefield with a flash of white light.
"Congratulations to the Novices Village No. 006 in Shanghai District for successfully challenging the Four-Star King of Heroes. All warriors who participated in the challenge will receive the title of Four-Star King of Heroes."
"Insufficient number of players detected on the arena; all warriors will be teleported out of the battlefield."
As soon as the system notification sound ended, Jiang Hao and his eight companions vanished from the battlefield in a flash of white light.
A moment later, at the respawn point in the newbie village, eight white lights flashed, and Jiang Hao and his companions appeared surrounded by a large group of players. Then, four more lights appeared, and Jiang Hao's four summoned creatures were teleported out.
The surroundings were noisy. Jiang Hao looked up and saw that the group of people were surrounded by players. In front of them, the city lord of Jinling City and the guardian Mingdu, with their backs to them, were talking to the players around them. At the same time, he was pointing his right hand at the guards behind him, who were writing something on a red cloth.
A flash of white light drew the attention of everyone around. The city lord and guardian of Jinling City immediately turned around. They were both surprised and delighted to see Jiang Hao, especially the city lord, whose smile was so warm it seemed to melt the ice of the entire northern ice plains.
The surrounding players all turned to look at Jiang Hao and his group, their eyes filled with respect and admiration, as if they were fans meeting their idols.
Jiang Hao felt the players' enthusiasm, which made him a little embarrassed for a moment.
The players became even more frenzied. A dozen or so people nearby moved to run towards Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao immediately realized that they wanted to run over and lift him up high. Jiang Hao was a little unaccustomed to such a high profile, but he was also afraid that if he dodged, he would hurt the players' feelings. He was caught in a dilemma.
The dozen or so players ran excitedly, but stopped halfway there, covering their mouths and noses. Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, puzzled, but then a pungent, sour stench filled his mouth and nose. Turning his head, he saw that Jun Lin Tian Xia and the others were covered in vomit from head to toe, their faces and bodies obscured, it was impossible to tell if it was their own or a mixture of vomit and others'.
And yet, they were completely unaware of it, standing tall and proud like roosters, accepting the admiration of others.
The people standing around me are somewhat of an eyesore.
A gentle breeze blew from behind, and the dozens of players around the city lord of Jinling City frowned and couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
Jiang Hao was somewhat embarrassed. Although there wasn't a speck of vomit on or under his feet, the large clump of vomit behind Bai Bu Zhuan Yang's head was indeed his doing. In addition, the specks of vomit that splashed onto the backs of the other people were also partly his doing.
Jiang Hao felt a mix of guilt and embarrassment.
Seeing that there were only the City Lord of Jinling City and the Guardian Mingdu directly in front of him, both of them still looking calm and unconcerned about the sour smell in the air, Jiang Hao felt a surge of admiration and sighed inwardly at his own shallowness.
Jiang Hao adjusted his mindset and adopted a calm and collected demeanor, accepting the eager gazes of the crowd.
The smile on the lips of the city lord of Jinling City deepened. He stood with the guardian Mingdu, who was also smiling. The two looked like a poor old couple who had learned that their adopted son had been admitted to the most famous university in the country. Their faces were full of kindness and relief.
Liu Chuang, halfway through the race, had originally arranged for a dozen or so members of the Ice and Snow World Guild to give Jiang Hao a warm welcome. What could he do? His guild leader had fallen for Jiang Hao at first sight. However, halfway there, his companions suddenly stopped running because of the stench, leaving him in a dilemma. He couldn't go forward, and he couldn't go back.
Standing behind Jiang Hao was the Ice Queen, his guild leader, whose murderous gaze had been fixed on him for a long time. Remembering his guild leader's instructions, Liu Chuang had a sudden inspiration. He abruptly stepped forward, then waved his hand, directly entering the second part of the welcoming ceremony.
Then all the players around them began to shout in unison: "Lord of Hell, Lord of All Under Heaven, with the staff in hand, I rule the world!"
Jiang Hao, who was smiling, was instantly petrified on the spot.
What I feared most has come to pass. How embarrassing!
The city lord and guardian of Jinling City visibly twitched at the corners of their mouths, their kind smiles clearly changing in meaning. It was as if they had suddenly discovered that their son had fallen in love with a young lady from a prominent family, and had abducted someone else's precious daughter.
His smug smile held a profound meaning!
It's as if it's saying, "You always pretend to be such a gentleman, but I never expected you to be such a vain person." I never would have guessed.
"I didn't, I didn't..."
Before he could explain, the players' second shout came, completely drowning out his explanation.
"Lord of Hell, with a do-or-die spirit, this small Lingxu is none other than mine."
The city lord of Jinling smiled even more broadly.
Jiang Hao really wanted to smash all those bastards around him with a stick and make them die!
Just as Jiang Hao was about to stop the players' shouts, he saw the City Lord of Jinling City wave his hand, and the dozen or so guards behind him unfurled a red banner. Jiang Hao looked up and saw that on the red banner, which was more than ten meters long, were written several large, bold black characters: "Congratulations to the Lord of All Under Heaven for obtaining the title of Three-Star King Warrior."
Clearly, the title of "Lord of All Under Heaven" had already reached the ears of the City Lord of Jinling.
Jiang Hao recalled Sun Zhi's instigation during the killing spree, and felt an urge to slap him to death. If it weren't for Sun Zhi coming up with such a cringeworthy slogan, how could it have become so widely known now?
Upon closer inspection of the words on the banner, Jiang Hao found them strange. The character "three" at the top was significantly taller than the characters next to it, suggesting that a character "two" must have been written originally. Perhaps the city lord of Jinling City heard about the later arrivals and had someone add a stroke to it.
Ha, there's a hint of perfunctoriness hidden beneath the enthusiasm!
Furthermore, Jiang Hao and his group are now truly four-star kings of courage!
