Chapter 206: The Strong Have No Seat for the Weak

Roar!!

Trangade's roar was filled with chilling Frenzy rage, yet the soldiers surrounding him were completely unmoved.

People fear powerful creatures, but they do not fear a creature that is about to be killed by them.

At this moment, Trangade's condition had become extremely dangerous.

The Giant Demons around him were all dead, leaving only it struggling in agony.

Its body was riddled with countless black scorch marks, and the once mighty form was now insignificant under the burning flames.

Trangade roared repeatedly, swinging his weapon down, but after shattering the shield formed by Cloud Energy, the remaining force was insufficient to inflict lethal damage on the soldiers.

"Team Message—Mu Yi: The enraged snow monster is completed, current side quest—Lord of the North Wind!"

"It should be nearby!"

In the fierce flames, the Giant Demon Leader's body crashed down with a boom!!

"You have slain the campaign boss: Giant Demon Leader. This boss is a special unit; the dropped items have been distributed to each participant's inventory according to contribution."

"You can do that too?" Seeing the clearly darkened witchcraft technique, Mu Yi was somewhat astonished.

Kaliya stared absentmindedly at the temporary team channel, where Mu Yi's message appeared after completing the task again.

Watching the despondent Kaliya, Spak reined in his temper; he had experienced such loss, so he understood exactly how Kaliya felt now.

Instead, the soldiers' attacks inflicted the most direct wounds on it.

Though the opponent bore no malice, she felt even worse; she was like a small stone on the enemy's path, unnoticed, yet she suffered a heavy blow.

The defending Half-Dragon could not possibly stop this elite Transcendent squad, and they were all cut down shortly thereafter.

"Please welcome Second Lord Xian Sheng True Lord!"

After the talisman formed, it turned into a streak of light swirling in place, Wen Ren frowned and said.

Spak bluntly listed the mistakes Kaliya made in combat, noting that against a strong enemy such flaws could be fatal.

"Is there some hidden method?" Mu Yi mused, leaning forward.

"Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles, the essentials within the Hundred Schools' classics are equally abundant; secluding oneself cannot make one a great scholar, and I have dabbled in the teachings of many schools!" Wen Ren explained with a smile.

"Cheep!"

Six Paths LV2 to LV3 requires 1,000,000 points of special profession experience.

Mu Yi had also realized this; the half‑made ice disaster ability that supported his ice wall left the opponent with no means, clearly showing how weak they were.

"Leave it to me!"

"You have completed the side quest: Giant Demon Raider, and successfully slain the Giant Demon Leader; your campaign rating has increased."

"Hey! Monster, where do you think you can run!"

"Burning complete, gained 32,500 points of barrier energy!"

Even when the perception was shrouded in the talisman feedback area, there was not a single gain.

Looking at the description on his retina, Mu Yi fell into brief contemplation; according to the information, he would need to eradicate about ten Giant Demon tribes to upgrade a layer of barrier.

"Boom!"

It was like a swarm of fireflies at night, with one large firefly emitting red light among them.

Mu Yi employed his ice disaster talent, forming an ice house that instantly shielded both of them.

"If you truly cannot bear all this, then flee, flee to a place where no one knows you, and live a simple yet happy life!"

Watching the refreshed prompt on his retina, Mu Yi waved his hand and reclaimed the barrier.

A series of extra information surprised Mu Yi, but he still grasped the meaning behind them well.

However, Sparta noticed that Kaliya in front of him seemed off!

"No blame on you, this opponent truly is different!"

Mu Yi whispered softly, drawing his bow, and the Vermilion Bird spirit hovering above the formation turned into a flash of fire that fell onto his arrow.

Wen Ren, feeling somewhat ashamed, found every method clumsy and ineffective; he was truly embarrassed.

"Some understanding, a bit of understanding!" Wen Ren said, looking at the unresponsive rag doll in his hand, putting it away, then pulling out a mask and placing it on his face.

The deadliest part was the burning fire covering every inch of it; it not only stifled its recovery but continuously devoured its power, making it weaker and its wielded staff increasingly feeble.

"Team Message—Warrior Azk Luiva: It's over, this run was wasted, a side quest mixed with a guaranteed drop!"

"Based on your contribution, you received 45,000 points of Universal Experience and 4,000 Zongwang Disaster Coins."

Although its Transcendent abnormal physique allowed rapid wound recovery, the healing speed was clearly far behind the rate of injury.

Barbarian Sparta shouted, they were battling Half‑Dragons in the maze; these treasure‑guarding Half‑Dragons were not particularly tricky, but they were certainly not a reason to slack off in combat.

"This strike will send you on your way!"

While speaking, Wen Ren pulled out a rag doll, muttering, then pointed at it.

"Roar!"

In an instant, Wen Ren became sanctified and untouchable, and a golden radiant heavenly eye blossomed atop his mask.

After a thought, Mu Yi opened the barrier and summoned Wen Ren out.

Kaliya stared in disbelief at the channel messages, then glanced at the Zongwang Panel where the side quest had already dimmed; she realized the other had truly completed a side quest.

She once thought herself a heavenly prodigy, always sailing smoothly under Spak's squad protection, rarely facing setbacks in the Zongwang.

Mu Yi felt a bit numb; even with full perception, there was no gain, because his goals had always been clear, and he lacked scouting methods.

"You have obtained a rare Dungeon reward: Bloodline Material - Frost Giant Demon Bloodline (Pale Gold)"

The Lord of the North Wind is a wolf, adept at concealment and ambush; its combat ability is rather ordinary, relying mainly on stealth and a nauseating environment, and the guide merely mentioned it and roughly outlined the area without detailed strategy.

After they defeated the treasure‑guarding Half‑Dragon clan and cleared the battlefield, Mu Yi, at an unimaginable speed, pierced through another side quest.

"Spak, is the gap between people really that huge?"

"Kaliya, I recall teaching you that being distracted in combat is courting death; even a Lion Demon hunting a rabbit should give its all. Did you return everything you had learned?"

"Found it!" Wen Ren pointed his finger, forming a sword, and waved it in midair; Mu Yi instantly sensed a strange aura appearing.

The Vermilion Bird Spirit transformed into a rising fire pillar, devouring the Giant Demon Leader; the flame power erupted like splendid fireworks, successfully igniting the Giant Demon Leader.

The Giant Demon Leader, on the verge of death, roared and waved his weapon like a final flare, making people feel even more terrified.

"There will always be some people who are beyond common sense!"

Mu Yi naturally didn't know that his speedrun had struck the confidence of a genius girl.

"The talismans have been cleared; the enemy has discovered us……"

"I'll try other methods!"

The Giant Demon's corpse burned to ashes in the Hell Path, becoming reserve energy for the barrier, while the Giant Demons' souls were stuffed into the Hungry Ghost Path and sealed.

Wen Ren frowned, drew his sidearm, and stared fixedly at the frenzied wind and snow; the talisman's response vanished abruptly, as if the enemy were using the talisman as bait.

It wildly waved its weapon around, but it was merely a final death struggle.

"I can sense that it is observing us……"

She suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment, as if her fantasies had been torn apart and she had fallen into reality.

When they had finished cleaning the battlefield and began to rest, Sparak gave Kalia a stern lecture.

He stared fixedly at the surrounding frenzied wind and snow.

Wen Ren, full of righteous vigor, actually knew this as well; opening Wen Ren's panel revealed he knew more than just this, just as he said—he had dabbled in all the Hundred Schools.

—Ice Disaster

"Roar!"

No wonder so many people, after becoming Legends, cannot go further; the further they go, the harder it will become.

"Boom!"

It was as if a ghost could be seen with the naked eye but could not be scanned by instruments.

The howling wind grew more turbulent, countless ice cones and ice arrows mixed in the wind, shooting toward Wen Ren; amidst the raging wind and snow, a powerful strange beast lurked somewhere.

Someone will always become a Legend, and someone will always fall into the mortal world, Kaliya, your veins flow with the blood of the Aijiluowei family; the honor and responsibility you bear are your shackles, and also the driving force that pushes you forward!

The twists and troubles ahead are inevitable; you must understand that from the moment you were born, everything has already been destined in fate!

Calculating character contribution...

However, the golden light emitted by the heavenly eye, after penetrating the ice hut serving as a barrier, began to dissipate after traveling a distance through the wind and snow.

Mu Yi pondered how to break the situation; after looking at the data, basically every team tackling this side quest had a scouting expert, and someone like him who came directly because of proximity was truly an outlier.

Trangrade roared a counterattack, lifting the stick in his hand and smashing it toward the Vermilion Bird spirit, but when the stick landed on the Vermilion Bird spirit...

If it were just a single task, one might still have a competitive spirit, but Mu Yi's speed completely overwhelms, clearly showing how large the gap is.

What good options are there? Mu Yi briefly explained the current situation.

You participated in slaying the Giant Demon leader, accounting for 100% of its maximum health output; your contribution is 100%.

Knowing yourself and knowing the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles; Confucianism embraces all, encompassing Confucius' benevolence, Mencius' righteousness, and even Xunzi... For them, not being ashamed to ask questions is the best strategy.

It regards us as prey...

However, if you want to upgrade the Hell Path, the required special profession experience increases fivefold, and the experience gap later is far larger than before.

The Giant Demon leader, caught in a vicious cycle, can only slip bit by bit into the abyss of death.

The arrow left the bow, transforming into a Vermilion Bird that flapped its wings and flew straight toward the Giant Demon leader Trangrade.

Before it could even approach, a fierce wind suddenly arose between heaven and earth, a frigid Frenzy wind laden with ice pellets striking Mu Yi's face.

Mu Yi checked the map; according to the coordinates, his mission target should be active nearby, but looking around, he saw hardly any trace.

What?!

Sparak's sincere voice left Kaliya somewhat bewildered; she didn't know what to do.

Exterminate the Giant Demon tribe, the Hall of Merit records battle achievements, and awards 300 merit points.

Wenren nodded, then began drawing symbols in the void with his finger; given Mu Yi's literary cultivation, he could roughly tell that this was probably a talisman.

The universe is boundless, the Dao follows nature!

As they spoke, the talisman vanished into the void.

At times like this, it's the moment for the clever to step forward.

However, this time, when Mu Yi crushed her pride with his extremely efficient speed, he even trampled Sparak's entire squad underfoot.

I am the Giant Demon king!

Aren't you a Confucian disciple? Mu Yi asked curiously.

Seeing the barbarian lose his temper, Kaliya could only suppress her shock, shut down the Zongwang Panel, and focus on battle.

My lord, why not ask the First Day God to seek the enemy? Seeing Mu Yi's furrowed brow, Wenren offered him a solution.

Team info-Mage Bruno Dol: So fast? Boss, please carry us!

She had always taken pride in being able to join Sparak's epic squad at a young age, and she was also outstanding within the squad; lacking only rich experience, this is also the mark that sets her apart from other talents.

Please forgive me, my lord; my skills are inadequate, I have failed to relieve your worries!

It failed; the opponent's concealment is very strong—at first we must have caught them off guard!

Yes!

Mu Yi casually posted the next side quest target in the temporary chat channel, then walked toward the next location along the map.

Kaliya, shut down your panel and focus on battle!

Not only were the visible external injuries severe, but the internal wounds were worse: Mu Yi's explosive arrow blasted a large hole in its abdominal flesh, and the shock from the explosion damaged its internal organs, plunging it into mortal danger.

The universe is boundless, the Dao follows nature! Wenren reached out and began drawing the talisman again.

It's actually here! Mu Yi extended his perception along the direction of the talisman's reaction, but found nothing.

"Seal completed, gained 21000 special profession experience points!"

Kaliya felt at this moment an almost chasm-like gap between the two; their team's struggle seemed utterly insignificant compared to the other side.

The frenzied wind and snow erased many traces in the environment, including scent and footprints.

Mu Yi's consciousness struck the explanatory information attached to the prompt, and instantly a new line of explanation refreshed on his retina:

Six Paths LV1 to LV2 upgrade requires 200000 special profession experience points.

"Chuyi?" Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

He almost forgot that the current Chuyi is no longer the little creature he once picked up; the current Chuyi is also a deity believed in by others.
