Chapter 86: Exam Location, Mount Qingwang (210 seeking subscriptions!)
As everyone knows, in the Dream World, a player's death does not cause real-world death; it only resets everything upon the next entry into the Dream World, appearing at a random spawn point.
But now, those who rank high on the Spirit Beast rankings are all without exception Spirit Beasts at Growth Tier Lv20, and the vast majority also have respectable battle records.
Each of these players, to reach their current level, has expended enormous effort and even money; once killed, all of it goes to waste.
Although they do not die in reality, such a loss is still hard to accept.
If there is a conflict between players, killing each other can be understood, but the players Song Ban Zhi Gui has killed so far have no connection with him; he simply targets them because they are strong and rank high on the leaderboard.
Moreover, he is not only a scourge to players in his own zone; he has already moved to an adjacent game zone and continues his killing spree.
Thus, Song Ban Zhi Gui's actions have drawn condemnation and scorn from the whole world.
If he is allowed to continue like this, perhaps all game zones will fall victim to him.
Ai Li Ke Te is merely arrogant; although he shouts about establishing a new order, aside from daily livestreams telling the world how many challengers he defeated today and announcing his new position to provoke, he has not done anything truly heinous.
Merely appearing in a zone, Song Ban Zhi Gui is enough to put all players in that zone on alert.
Of course, Song Ban Zhi Gui's unrestrained killing of players does not come without a cost.
The talent ability he revealed during the killings, as victim after victim angrily exposed it, is now known to everyone.
Song Ban Gui Zhi can temporarily fuse his two contracted Spirit Beasts into a brand-new fused Spirit Beast; the fused Spirit Beast's species value equals the sum of the two contracted Spirit Beasts' species values, and the duration lasts five minutes.
Since Song Ban Gui Zhi kills only one player per day and has even refrained from attacking a second high-ranked player he encountered that day, the frequency of this talent effect is likely once per entry into the Dream World.
Referring to the name of the golden talent, this talent effect likely corresponds to Soul Fusion, though it cannot be completely certain, and his remaining two talent effects are unknown.
But this talent effect is already on par with the two exposed talent effects of Ai Li Ke Te.
Upon entering the Dream World forum, Qin Chuan quickly saw the corresponding reposted post.
This time the victim is a player from the Everlasting Nation.
The player's lament could be described as tears and voice flowing together; he said his talent is a quite rare red talent, with an effect that allows instant teleportation to another position.
Hmm… that sounds a bit like the Return and Exile that Qin Chuan drew but did not want.
This player was very vigilant; upon encountering Song Ban Gui Zhi, he immediately chose to teleport and flee.
But even so, the opponent relentlessly tracked him down the next day, and while his instant-movement talent effect was still on cooldown, directly killed him.
Throughout this process, Song Ban Gui Zhi still did not reveal any other abilities.
After reading the opponent's description, Qin Chuan furrowed his brows even tighter.
Song Ban Gui Zhi's initial zone is 6231, which is fairly far from his zone 3675, so they are unlikely to meet in the short term.
But he cannot just sit and wait for doom.
He needs to tighten his efforts to increase his strength.
"Qin Chuan, Ai Li Ke Te has started a livestream." Xiao Pang tilted his head, reminding Qin Chuan.
"Let me take a look." Qin Chuan clicked on the followed livestream.
Logically, watching such a foreign livestream should require bypassing the firewall, but Ai Li Ke Te sent people to proactively contact livestream platforms in various countries, opening up rebroadcast rights.
As for the Yanhuang Nation, for unknown reasons it did not block this behavior, allowing Ai Li Ke Te's livestream to be rebroadcast within its borders.
Whether Ai Li Ke Te can become the so-called "creator of the new order" remains uncertain, but he has in fact become the livestreamer with the most viewers worldwide.
Soon, Ai Li Ke Te's handsome yet arrogant face appeared in the livestream.
"Now it's ten o'clock in the evening, Button Time; ordinary players and the yet-unseen God's Chosen, good evening." Ai Li Ke Te spoke politely yet impolitely, grinning, "Today I defeated two challengers again; they are weak, but brave."
"My current position has slightly shifted, but that doesn't affect your ability to find me; I'm still waiting for challengers to arrive."
"Most importantly, I am waiting for you, the God's Chosen who share my aspirations."
"Next is the Q&A session." Ai Li Ke Te glanced at the direction of the bullet comments, then shook his head and smirked, "Has Song Ban Zhi Gui killed again?"
"Although whether ordinary players kill or not seems trivial to me, I do not approve of the strong bullying the weak; it makes the God's Chosen look cheap."
"Song Ban Zhi Gui, come find me; I will let you witness what true combat is."
"If you are not a holder of the golden talent, I will kill you without hesitation." Ai Li Ke Te's deep blue eyes revealed strong confidence, just as when he first addressed the world, "Your fused Spirit Beast, in my view, is nothing special."
"I will let you know that no talent can surpass Soul Ascension; even the other eight golden talents will bow to me."
This is also the first time Ai Li Ke Te has directly responded to matters concerning Song Ban Zhi Gui; his hardline attitude, imbued with arrogance ingrained in his bones, instantly sent the bullet comments into a frenzy.
After answering a few trivial questions, Ai Li Ke Te ended the stream.
The brief livestream of just a few minutes was like a stone dropped in water, destined to stir new ripples.
"These golden-talent players are really one crazier than the next." Xiao Pang couldn't help but grit his teeth, "But then again, if I had a golden talent, I'd be even crazier than them."
Qin Chuan gave Xiao Pang a strange look, then exited the livestream swamped with bullet comments.
As a golden-talent player, he naturally pays attention to every move of other golden-talent players, but if one were to ask what he plans, there is none.
The two exposed golden-talent players are at some distance from his zone 3675; the flames of war temporarily cannot reach him here, and the forte of the sundial hand is not in combat.
First, let's develop in a lewd way for a while.
The class bell rang, the big break ended, Qin Chuan suppressed his thoughts, opened his textbook, and strove to be a salted fish sinking into the sea of knowledge.
Soon, it was time for the evening's extraordinary combat class.
After going through the basic fist techniques twice, Ji Huai looked at everyone and spoke slowly.
"Tomorrow is the second practical combat exam; you have half an hour to decide whether to sign up."
"This exam differs from the last; it is no longer limited to the Second Middle School, and you will jointly take the exam with other middle schools in Changxing City."
"Exam location, Mount Qingwang."
As soon as those words were spoken, all the students exploded in an uproar.
Mount Qingwang.
Before the appearance of demons, that place was a scenic spot in Changxing City.
But now, Mount Qingwang has been completely occupied by demons.
