Chapter 29: Working Together, Reaching Level Seven!

Wang Gang (118): "Big Boss, are you sure you don't want to use the Drop Rate Potion?"

Cai Kun (118): "Big Boss, don't try to play it cool at a critical moment like this. Just take it and use it."

Sam (44): "Sigh, they say people from the Dragon Kingdom care too much about face. I didn't believe it before, but seeing this today, I see they really do like to puff themselves up to look bigger than they are."

Ryan (44): "You're right, Mr. Sam. That Ye Chuyun probably knows he can't beat us, and now his pathetic pride is getting in the way. He won't even take a Drop Rate Potion. It's truly just puffing himself up to look bigger."

Jack (44): "I advise you to take it; otherwise, you won't have a single chance of winning."

Huang Li (118): "Shut your mouths, all of you! I trust Big Boss Ye's judgment. In that case, Wang Gang, you take this bottle of Drop Rate Potion."

Wang Gang (118): "Alright, since that's the case, I'll take the potion. I'm heading out to hunt fierce beasts now."

Ye Chuyun (118): "If you all truly want to help me, please provide me with as many spirit herbs and spirit fruits as you can. I will purchase them with God-Demon Coins."

Liu Daqiang (118): "Big Boss Ye, my level is too low to be of much help, but I'll go search for spirit herbs and fruits right now."

Qin Lie (118): "Well said. We low-level players shouldn't just sit back and reap the rewards. Let's all take action and go find some spirit herbs and fruits."

Seeing this, Ye Chuyun felt very gratified. Sector 118 was truly united. This was a traditional virtue held by the people of the Dragon Kingdom!

[Announcement: The ten-minute countdown has ended. The challenge begins!]

Sector 44: 0
Sector 118: 0

The challenge had begun! Ye Chuyun quickly exited the chat channel. He could not let everyone down. He had to kill that group of Iron Turtle Beasts as quickly as possible and collect all 50 challenge tokens!

Taking a deep breath, Ye Chuyun activated his Stealth skill and walked toward the group of Iron Turtles. Three Iron Turtle Beasts were huddled in a triangle, eyes closed, sleeping in the water. Ye Chuyun crept closer and struck instantly! With a flash of his Storm Blade, he severed the head of one of the Iron Turtle Beasts. Blood sprayed into the river. The other two Iron Turtles smelled the blood and immediately opened their eyes. Ye Chuyun struck twice more!

*Crack!*

Two more heads flew off, and the scent of blood spread instantly. With three strikes, the duration of his Stealth skill dwindled, leaving only a few seconds. Five Iron Turtle Beasts not far away quickly caught the scent of blood and opened their eyes. Ye Chuyun sighed, knowing he would inevitably draw the attention of the other groups. He turned and ran.

The Stealth effect ended, and Ye Chuyun’s figure was revealed. The five Iron Turtle Beasts immediately saw a dark shadow retreating, while the three corpses lay silently in the water. The five Iron Turtles mobilized urgently, chasing after the shadow. Other Iron Turtle Beasts began to wake up, wailing beside the fallen. The Iron Turtle King in the center slowly opened its eyes, looking confused and unaware of what had happened. The four leaders guarding its side dared not act rashly.

...

*Swish, swish, swish!*

Ye Chuyun ran at top speed. The five Iron Turtle Beasts were hot on his heels, maintaining a distance of three to four hundred meters. Turtles were notoriously slow, but speed was actually an advantage for the Iron Turtle Beasts. Fortunately, his agility exceeded 200, or he would have been caught.

The five Iron Turtles chasing him were also puzzled. How could this tiny level-6 human run faster with two legs than they could with four? They were the elites under the Iron Turtle King; how could they lose to such a small human? Especially since this human had just cunningly killed their kin.

"Roar!"

With a furious roar, the five Iron Turtles picked up speed. But to their surprise, Ye Chuyun suddenly stopped, turned around, and charged at them with his blade raised. The five Iron Turtles never expected the human to stop suddenly. Due to their immense momentum, they instinctively retracted their heads into their shells. They believed their shells would protect them, unaware that Ye Chuyun’s strength was enough to cleave through them. This gave him his chance. Ye Chuyun decisively activated [Strength Amplification].

[Strength Amplification LV2: Increases strength by 30 points for 30 seconds. Cooldown: two minutes.]

*Swish, swish, swish!*

With strength exceeding 300, his five strikes were essentially one kill per blow. The shells of the five Iron Turtle Beasts, along with the bodies hidden inside, were instantly sliced in two.

[Killed level-5 Iron Turtle Beast, obtained double energy points +500.]
[Killed level-5 Iron Turtle Beast, obtained double energy points +500.]
[Killed level-5 Iron Turtle Beast, obtained double energy points +500.]

...

[Congratulations, you have leveled up to level 7.]
[Your strength has increased by 10 points.]
[Your agility has increased by 10 points.]
[Your physique has increased by 10 points.]
[Your spirit has increased by 10 points.]
[You have gained 5 free attribute points.]

Including the three killed by ambush and these five, he had gained a total of 4,000 energy points. Ye Chuyun had leveled up to 7! After allocating his 5 free attribute points, his combat power soared again, reaching a terrifying value of 2,551.

The Iron Turtle King, over a thousand meters away, sensed that something was wrong. Watching its five subordinates die at the hands of this tiny human ignited its fury!

"ROAR!!!"

It roared at the sky, the sound shaking the earth. Under the King's roar, all the subordinate Iron Turtles and the four leaders seemed to receive an order, charging at Ye Chuyun in unison.

*Rumble!*

Their footsteps thundered, causing ripples across the river. The four leaders led thirty Iron Turtle Beasts and mutated Iron Turtles, charging toward Ye Chuyun in a massive wave. The Iron Turtle King stayed in the rear as commander and final trump card. Facing the massive army of Iron Turtles, Ye Chuyun’s expression was grave. Yet, he felt no fear; instead, a flicker of excitement and a thirst for battle welled up inside him.

"AH!!!"

Ye Chuyun roared, raised his blade, and charged into the swarm, his aura not losing out to the enemy in the slightest.

"Roar!"

The Iron Turtle King let out another earth-shaking roar. The four leaders continued their charge, while the rest of the Iron Turtles stopped and began spitting water arrows at Ye Chuyun.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!*

A sky-filling rain of water arrows descended upon Ye Chuyun. If he were to take these head-on, his body would soon be riddled with holes like a beehive.
