“What happened just now?”

“You didn’t do anything, so why did the pirate lay his eyes on you? Even when I was about to kill him, you were still his main target. He only attacked me when I blocked his path to attack you.” Youyou bent down and touched the corpses of the pirate. The items dropped were automatically distributed evenly between them. After that, she couldn’t suppress her curiosity anymore.

Ye Weiming gave a bitter smile and shook his head. He said in a helpless tone, “I just learned a powerful sword skill. However, it’s quite difficult to activate it. From the looks of it now, it has an amazing mocking ability.”

Youyou immediately understood. “Are you trying to test the power of that skill?”

Ye Weiming nodded in embarrassment. After all, he was wasting both of their time when he tested his own martial arts.

Yet, unexpectedly, Youyou didn’t mind. She waved her hand directly and said, “You can continue your experiment. I will be in charge of protecting your safety. This time, I won’t use my crossbow. I will slowly play with them using my hands and legs.”

You’re a loyal brother!

Ye Weiming was eager to try out the active effects of ‘Daizhong Way’, so he didn’t act polite with her. He started calculating with his fingers again. The pirate that got locked in by him immediately exploded in anger like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He screamed furiously and rushed over.

This time, with Youyou’s help, Ye Weiming didn’t have to worry about his own safety. He just had to focus on calculating the math problems that popped out on the system page.

First question, second question, third question… fifth question…

The West Lake pirates were beaten to death by Youyou when Ye Weiming got to the seventh math question.

Mind you, Youyou was a disciple of the Tang Clan. Her main skills were concealed weapons skills. There wasn’t much power in her fists and kicks. To decrease her attack power, she didn’t even wear any boxing items.

Yet, Ye Weiming still didn’t successfully activate the active effects of Daizhong Way.

From this, Ye Weiming could tell that this sutra wasn’t practical at all!

However, through this experiment, Ye Weiming still realized something exceptional. He noticed that Youyou’s combat skills were actually not bad. She didn’t lie when she said that she had never learned any close combat skills in the past because the techniques she used weren’t the ones found in the game. She was using the combat skills used in real life. There were no additional attributes for these techniques but they were swift and fierce. Her opponent wasn’t able to put up any resistance at all even though he had a weapon in his hand.

“Again!”

Before Ye Weiming could apologize, Youyou had already excitedly started dealing with the next monster for Ye Weiming.

The third pirate was punched to death by Youyou when Ye Weiming reached the eighth math question.

The fourth was killed at the 9th question…

The fifth was killed at the 10th question…

The sixth was also killed at the 10th question…

Finally, when the last pirate in the tunnel had only 100 points of blood left after Youyou punched it continuously, Ye Weiming moved. His body moved along with his sword and the Dragon Spring Sword in his hand turned into a flash of light. It stabbed directly into the heart of the West Lake pirate.

Beauty Of A Sick Lady!

Instant kill!

Ye Weiming retrieved his sword and silently comprehended the feeling he had before he made that move. Was the effect of ‘Daizhong Way’ so amazing?

A moment ago, when he completed all the 10 math questions, his mind suddenly became cleared as he felt luck coming on his side. It was as if everything around him was within his calculation. He felt that his opponents would never be able to block or evade his attacks. Then, as he wielded his sword, the movement of every single muscle in his body and every bit of internal energy was perfect. The coordination between his internal energy and muscles had reached a level beyond expression.

At that instant, he felt that he had thoroughly grasped the life and death of his opponent!

What an impressive sutra!

However, its activation requirements were too irritating!

Youyou saw Ye Weiming standing on the same spot with his sword in his hand, revealing an intoxicated expression. She couldn’t help but give him a questioning look. Then, she said, “I realized that your new sword skill isn’t very practical.”

Ye Weiming nodded helplessly. “I realized that too.”

He took a look at his proficiency.

Proficiency: 1/1000

The active effects of this sutra weren’t just hard to activate, but its level up criteria were very strict too!

After spending so much effort and time, all you can give me is 1 point of proficiency?

It looked like the sutra shouldn’t have been cultivated like this. Its level should have been increased, mainly using cultivation points.

Ye Weiming remembered something and added, “Based on what I see, the only advantage of this skill is its special mocking effects. If you put this skill in a normal online game, it will definitely be an ultimate skill of a tank. You don’t have to worry about OT at all. I just don’t know if this effect will still appear if my target is another player.”

“Why don’t you try it?” Youyou was a doer. She immediately took a few steps back and said, “You can treat me as your target to try the effects.”

Ye Weiming nodded slightly and fixed his gaze on Youyou. His left hand started calculating. Suddenly, Youyou widened her eyes and she immediately took a few steps back without hesitation.

Ye Weiming immediately stopped calculating. He opened his mouth and asked, “How did you feel just now?”

Youyou looked at Ye Weiming with lingering fear. “Very frightened. When you activated your skill, I felt as if something extremely scary was eyeing me. It felt like… someone pointing a gun at my head? It might have felt more terrible than that!”

She said that she felt as if someone was pointing a gun at her head.

Ye Weiming silently remembered her description. Then, he waved his hand and said, “Since this skill isn’t practical, I will not practice it anymore. Let’s quickly finish this map. That is more important.”

Ye Weiming didn’t really care about the irritating activation criteria for ‘Daizhong Way’. Without the active effects, its passive attributes were already powerful enough.

Humans needed to know when to be content.

As the saying went: ‘When you have a partner of the opposite sex, work seems so much easier’. One of them was a long-range fighter while the other was a close combat specialist. This combination tallied with their fighting strategies. Ye Weiming’s sword skills were agile and fierce. With him standing at the front, they could push through the map without getting injured. As for Youyou, she stood behind him and kept firing her crossbow. She didn’t need to worry about her movements at all. She could just fire boldly.

The two of them took less than two hours to clean up the entire huge underground palace. The only monster left was the boss, Chen Ming, who was at the center of the main hall of the underground palace.

From afar, Ye Weiming could see one boss roaming around the main hall of the underground palace. He couldn’t help but laugh. “The mission of this underground palace map is too easy. There isn’t even one bodyguard beside the boss. In normal circumstances, there would be at least two to three elite monsters protecting the boss. There should also be more than 10 small monsters circling the boss. This is what the boss should look like.”

Youyou, who was following closely behind him, said seriously, “This is not an ordinary boss. Look carefully at his level.”

Hearing this, Ye Weiming fixed his gaze on the body of the boss who was lingering in the hall.

Chen Ming

Level: 30

Blood: 6,500/6,500

…

The moment he saw this, Ye Weiming frowned. “Level 30! What kind of a joke is this? Why would a boss of this level appear in this underground palace?”

Youyou couldn’t blame Ye Weiming for being astounded.

Most of the time, the designers of online games would try to balance the levels of the small monsters and the big boss in a mission. For instance, the pirates inside the underground palace had higher levels than those pirates outside. They were between level 11 and 13. Hence, the boss in this map should have been around level 15. The maximum wouldn’t be level 20 or higher. Otherwise, that would mean that there was a problem with the design of the map.

Players with low levels wouldn’t have any chances of challenging the boss. As for players with high levels, they didn’t have experience with fighting such low level monsters. So, what kind of player was this map designed for?

If Chen Ming was a hidden boss, it would make more sense. After all, most of the hidden bosses weren’t prepared for players who entered this map to level up. However, Chen Ming was the leader of those small monsters. No matter how one looked at him, he didn’t seem like a hidden boss!

By right, a game like ‘Eternal Justice’, which was acknowledged by the government as the designated entertainment for the intergalactics migrants, shouldn’t have had such low-level mistakes.

But, such mistakes really occurred.

Could one believe it?

“That’s because the boss has a weapon.” At this moment, Youyou opened her mouth and helped to answer Ye Weiming’s question. “Do you see the crossbow he’s holding in his hand? That is the Zhuge Celestial Bow. It’s one of the top 10 concealed weapons of Tang Clan. It’s a treasured weapon. When I took this mission, my master told me that with the crossbow, Chen Ming’s ability can rise 15 levels. He asked me to be extremely careful when dealing with him.”
