Lion's Roar

This is a term: Lion Roar (from glossary). So translation: Lion Roar

But need to keep natural English. "The lion lets out a roar, intimidating enemies while simultaneously removing its own restriction status." Could be "The lion lets out a roar, intimidating enemies and simultaneously removing its own restriction status." Keep same meaning.

Su Sheng's face brightened with joy!

Although it's not an offensive skill, Su Sheng feels a bit disappointed; as a lion, he only has one fang attack skill, leaving him somewhat downcast.

Although it's not an offensive skill, Su Sheng is somewhat disappointed; as a lion, he only has one Fang offensive skill, leaving him feeling a bit depressed.

Let's render: Although it's not an offensive skill, Su Sheng is somewhat disappointed; as a lion, he actually only has one Fang offensive skill, and he feels a bit down.

But this skill is still quite handy right now—it's a crowd-control removal!

Translation: But this skill is also nice right now—decontrol!

Reducing defense is secondary; the main purpose is to remove control.

Control-removal skills typically only appear in the mid‑to‑late stages of a class.

(I originally wanted to put this paragraph in the author's note, but the author's note is limited to 300 characters, so I had to post it here to fill the word count.)

Closing the attribute panel, Su Sheng looked up at the six-person Higanbana squad.

Now it's time to settle the score.

I'm waiting for the quest to finish, while you all are just waiting to die.

However, it's not wrong—these guys are indeed just waiting to die.

Spawn~

Su Sheng abruptly turned his head.

Charge!

Boom!

The Change guild players hadn't reacted yet when Su Sheng was already standing before them.

He boldly struck without hesitation.

Bang!

The knight was directly repelled.

-487！

A single hit knocked out nearly half of his HP.

The demon-fang longsword Sweep— the knight hadn't even steadied his stance before the sword swept across his neck.

Normal attack, weak‑point attack.

Weak‑point critical!

-1788

Before that knight player could even react, he was instantly turned into white light.

A shield fell to the ground.

"You..." the warrior stared blankly, opening his mouth to speak.

Shield Bash!

-785！

A full‑power warrior only has just over 600 HP.

He was instantly killed by a Shield Bash.

"Level 20..." one of the Higanbana mages stared blankly at Su Sheng, his voice trembling.

That was the knight's charge skill just now!

The knight's charge skill can only be learned at level 20; the first player to reach level 20 and top the hidden‑nickname leaderboard is none other than Stranger Asks the Past!

"Isn't this exactly what you were hoping for? What are you afraid of?" Su Sheng smiled devilishly.

"Counter!" The remaining two mages and two archers immediately launched attacks on Su Sheng.

Even though they're on a suicide mission, they won't just sit and wait to be destroyed.

Shock Arrow!

Knockback first!

Now dealing damage!

Ice Spike! Slow!

As members of a major guild, they have no trouble with basic PvP knowledge.

Missed!

Did not hit!

A direct face‑to‑face attack—did they really think they had no prediction? Brave Strike!

seconds!

Normal Attack!

sec!

sec!

After Su Sheng closed in, the four idiots had only one way left: to be instantly killed.

In less than twenty seconds total, six Change guild players were easily dealt with by Su Sheng.

Red Name!

Killing six players raised his infamy to 60 points.

Malicious PK adds 10 infamy per kill; exceeding 10 points triggers a red name, and death penalties increase with infamy.

Infamy over 100 points becomes a black name; in black‑name status, death usually causes loss of all equipment, and every additional 100 points raises the death‑penalty level by 1.

In other words, if you die with 1000 infamy, you'll lose 11 levels directly—this is designed to deter high‑level malicious PK.

A black name also prevents nickname concealment, and attacking a black‑named player does not count as malicious PK.

To cleanse a red name, either grind monsters—each monster group gives one infamy point—or use reputation to clear a black name, but reputation clearing is only available in the main city, and this town lacks the necessary NPC.

The Change guild has three thousand members; let's see how many of those three thousand will remain.

Su Sheng flashed a cruel smile.

A fox with ten thousand points of demonic aura—Su Sheng will have to stay in this forest for a long time.

From now on, Su Sheng will calmly grind monsters.

On the Higanbana guild's side, they had already learned that Su Sheng was the top of the Level Ranking List.

But the Change's Huangquan grinned, and he was no longer at the top of the leaderboard!

He isn't afraid of Su Sheng leaving now; unless Su Sheng retreats back to town, he'll definitely die today!

When that small squad provoked Su Sheng, there were already quite a few Other Shore Flower assassins watching around, just to see whether Su Sheng would run.

Upon learning that Su Sheng had finished killing people, yet still swaggered there fighting monsters, Bi'an Huangquan revealed a cold smile.
