Chapter 125: Narrow Paths of Enmity, Meet a Shadow Transformation Nation Yinyang Master Again

The two of them followed each other, one ahead and one behind, and walked out of the Instance.

"I told you long ago, there's no way you'd encounter an ambush every time,"

"But being careful never hurts; there's nothing wrong with what you're doing,"

Lin Caier giggled, displaying a considerate attitude.

This time, after returning outside the Instance, everything was quite calm, with no trouble at all.

A large crowd set up camp near the Instance, grilling meat, drinking, forming parties, and some even set up stalls to sell goods.

The Instance Doorway had practically become a bustling market.

Jiang Chen whispered, "Run the Instance a few more times, and perhaps your Outpost Set will become complete."

Lin Caier laughed exuberantly, "The Hell Outpost Set—so many people have dreamed of it."

She took out the Hell Outpost Dagger and admired it repeatedly; the dagger was exquisitely beautiful, never tiring even after a hundred looks.

Jiang Chen asked in puzzlement, "You've looked at it so many times, the dagger doesn't change—what's so interesting about it?"

Lin Caier gave him a withering glance, "You fool, the dagger itself obviously doesn't change, but what's different is that you gave it to me."

Earlier, while inside the Instance, Lin Caier kept taking it out to look at, unable to put it down.

Jiang Chen found it odd; after all, it's just a Weapon, what's the fuss?

However, Jiang Chen, a steel‑hard straight‑man and simpleton, seemed unable to grasp its meaning.

Jiang Chen took out some food and asked, "Hungry?"

Lin Caier looked at the food and scolded, "Isn't this what I bought last time? You haven't finished it?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "I didn't eat much."

Lin Caier hummed; Jiang Chen's words seemed to imply that she ate a lot.

She took pride in being able to eat a lot; after all, she

has a constitution that never gains weight no matter how much she eats.

She unceremoniously snatched the food from Jiang Chen's hand, took a big bite, and looked extremely cute.

The two sat together, chatting and laughing freely.

Lin Caier's striking looks and clear, pleasant voice attracted many people's attention.

Some even walked up directly to invite Lin Caier to join a party, but she rejected them outright.

Among all the people, anyone who had seen Jiang Chen's prowess honestly dared not approach.

The Abyssal Demon Dogs Jiang Chen killed, and the Abyss Demon whose wings were chopped off and turned to fragments, both left a deep impression in their memories.

A Level 36 Abyss Demon was effortlessly one‑shot by Jiang Chen; that scene will stay unforgettable for people this lifetime…

Although Lin Caier is very beautiful, those who have witnessed Jiang Chen's strength all watch cautiously, daring not to act rashly.

They watched like spectators eating melon, waiting to see if anyone would provoke Jiang Chen, the Killing Star.

Suddenly, fog churned, a massive beast appeared, radiating light, dragging a large cart that burst out of the mist.

Someone shouted, "That's a Shikigami!"

They immediately recognized the beast's origin—the Yinyang Master's Shikigami from Shadow Transformation Nation.

It is a Mythological Class profession, the Yinyang Master, a vocation unique to Shadow Transformation Nation.

The giant Shikigami dragged the cart to the Instance, a large crowd leapt off, then the cart vanished and the Shikigami disappeared as well.

A team of eleven, all clad in golden gear, exuded extraordinary presence.

The party included two Knights, three supports, five mages, and a Yinyang Master.

Someone commented, "Look at the

thing, they're going to challenge the Hell Difficulty Instance."

"Very likely, since the Yinyang Masters have all mobilized; it seems they're indeed aiming for the Hell-level Dungeon."

"The Hell-level Dungeon is difficult, but the rewards are very generous; Outpost equipment and Class Transfer Certificates are extremely valuable. Unfortunately, forming a party is hard; most groups that can clear the Hell-level Dungeon are fixed teams."

"I've heard that if someone can solo the Hell-level Outpost Instance and clear it, they can earn a title."

"Heard it, heard it, that title is rarer than top‑tier gear, but apparently no one has achieved it yet."

"If someone truly gets that title, I wonder whose head it will fall upon."

Their voices were loud enough to reach Lin Caier's ears.

Lin Caier whispered beside Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, are they telling the truth?"

She knew Jiang Chen had solo‑run the Hell Difficulty Outpost Instance.

If there is such a title, he must have obtained it.

"It's true; the title is Dragon Clan War King."

Lin Caier's eyes flashed, "Really? What attributes does it add?"

"All Attributes +500, Skill consumption reduced by 50%."

Hearing the title's attributes, Lin Caier exclaimed, "So impressive!"

All Attributes +500 is already quite good; at this level it's very strong.

And a 50% reduction in Skill consumption is a game‑changer; that's a very powerful attribute.

Jiang Chen nodded; the title truly is impressive.

With the title, his consumption dropped dramatically.

When facing an Outpost Guardian as a meat shield, he handled it more smoothly, essentially never worrying about insufficient Spiritual Power.

Lin Caier'er's startled

shout attracted others' attention.

The newly arrived Shadow Transformation Nation Yinyang Master saw Lin Caier'er.

"So beautiful! Why does it seem familiar." He whispered a gasp, his eyes lighting up with a strong surge of possessiveness.

He then saw Jiang Chen beside Lin Caier, a flash of hatred crossing his eyes.

"So it's them, what a narrow road for foes!"

He might not remember Lin Caier, but he certainly can't forget Jiang Chen.

On Ren Yu Dao, Jiang Chen personally killed his two Shikigami, forcing him to flee in disgrace.

The loss of the Shikigami made him exert great effort later to replace them.

The mission failure further embarrassed him.

The grudge had long been formed!

He whispered two words to the people beside him.

The group instantly headed toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen and Lin Caier also saw him.

"It's him!"

Lin Caier recognized at a glance: the Shadow Transformation Nation Yinyang Master from Ren Yu Dao.

Jiang Chen stepped in front of Lin Caier: "The visitor is not benevolent."

Last time on Ren Yu Dao the opponent fled quickly; if here…

Jiang Chen had no reservations.

The Yinyang Master led a group, each well‑equipped, evidently with no reservations either.

With such a good chance, how could he miss it?

When they reached ten meters from Jiang Chen, the opponent stopped.

At that moment, several Skeletons had already appeared beside Jiang Chen.

If they came any closer, the Skeletons would act immediately.

He halted, looking at Jiang Chen with a gloomy gaze, also somewhat surprised.

On Ren Yu Dao, he clearly remembered Jiang Chen was still under Level 20.

But now, he couldn't see through Jiang Chen.

It shows the Shielding Badge is active, narrowing the level gap to within Level 10.

And the opponent's ability to reach the Otherworld Battlefield already indicates the opponent's level has risen.

…has come.

Thinking of this, hatred churned again in his heart.

If Jiang Chen hadn't killed his two Shikigami then, he would surely have already leveled up.

Suppressing the hatred, he said, "Shadow Transformation Nation, Level 30 Yinyang Master, Anbei Yin Qi!"

The opponent introduced himself, and Jiang Chen, as a person of the Shenlong Empire, likewise would not be impolite.

The mighty Shenlong, with millennia of inheritance, a top‑tier power, has never erred in etiquette.

"Shenlong Empire, Level 24 Necromancer Summoner, Jiang Chen."

When the Level 24 rank was announced, the crowd behind Anbei Yin Qi immediately burst into mocking laughter.

Anbei Yin Qi frowned.

"Who would have thought his leveling speed is so fast."

Others may not know Jiang Chen's previous level, but he knows it very clearly…
