Speaking of treasured weapons, we must talk about the different grades of the items in ‘Eternal Justice’.
In ‘Eternal Justice’, there were six grades for items. They were: white, blue, gold, green. treasured, and divine. For the first few grades, the attributes of the items were similar to the other online games. White meant whiteboard items. They had the lowest attributes. Blue items were superior items. Gold items were supreme items. Green items were a full set of outfits.
Besides the four grades, there were still treasured weapons and divine weapons. Starting from treasured weapons, all the items had their own special names and they were all unique and one of a kind!
For instance, in the entire game, there was only one Zhuge Celestial Bow. It was the one in front of them. There were no other duplicates!
After listening to Youyou’s explanation, Ye Weiming analyzed the situation seriously. “Chen Ming’s level is now at 30. That means that his actual level is only 15. In the game, the boss’ level is normally calculated based on their aggregate data. This way, it will be easier for the players to measure the difference in their abilities.”
“Hence, the boss in front of us should be one that has a powerful offense but his other skills are just at level 15. The most frustrating thing is, he is a long-range boss.”
When he was saying this, Ye Weiming couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. “It’s fortunate that he doesn’t have any small monsters around him. If not, those small monsters will definitely be at the frontline while he fires his weapon from the back. In that case, we won’t have to discuss how to fight this boss anymore. But, even if that was the case… speaking about this, why is the mission only four-star when the boss is at this level?”
“My clan mission is five-star.” Youyou felt a little embarrassed when she said this. “If I wasn’t in the team, Chen Ming in front of us would only be at level 15. Then, just like what you mentioned, he would have a bunch of elite monsters and small monsters protecting him.”
“But, don’t worry. Before I came, I was already prepared to fight with him alone. My master told me that Chen Ming doesn’t know how to use concealed weapons. I should be able to handle him. Now, with your help, I’m more certain that we can succeed!” While she was speaking, Youyou had already raised her crossbow. She continued with a serious expression, “Later, wait for me to attract his attention first. Then, you can find a chance to sneak an attack on him. As long as we don’t give him the chance to close the distance between us, we can probably force him to give up the Zhuge Celestial Bow and use his long knife instead. That way, it will be easier when we start fighting with him again.”
“He is at level 30 and he is a long-range boss with a powerful offense. Do you think you can block him?”
“Don’t worry, I’m a professional!” Youyou threw this sentence at Ye Weiming confidently.. Then, her expression became extremely serious. Even the way she held the crossbow was different from before.
She tightly held the crossbow with her right hand and steadied her right wrist with her left hand. Her arms were bent slightly as she raised the crossbow to her head level. She leaned closely against the wall and slowly walked towards the main hall of the underground palace step by step.
Ye Weiming felt a sense of familiarity when he saw her posture. He felt as though he had seen it somewhere before.
Youyou slowly moved closer to the main hall. However, Chen Ming didn’t notice her at all. The level 30 boss only landed his gaze on the young lady when one of her feet was already inside the hall. He shouted loudly, “You’re a disciple of the Tang Clan. Did you come to look for death?”
Youyou fully displayed her silent and vicious personality by dashing forward the moment she noticed that the boss had discovered her. She immediately shortened the distance between them so that it was within the effective shooting range of her crossbow. The moment her feet landed on the ground, her arm was already straightened. Her right hand was still holding the crossbow and her left hand was holding her right wrist. She fired six consecutive shots at Chen Ming.
“Poof! Poof! Poof! …”

…
All the six shots hit Chen Ming. Six red numbers floated up from Chen Ming’s head. They represented the number of blood points he lost. Among them, there were two shots that inflicted critical damage and took away close to 300 points of blood from him. Because of the continuous attack, Chen Ming was frozen temporarily. He wasn’t able to retaliate at all.
If Youyou’s crossbow was able to fire continuously and endlessly, she could have been able to control the boss until his death. Unfortunately, her crossbow could only fire six arrows for each interval. After that, she needed to reload her crossbow. The reloading time was as long as three seconds!
After she fired all her six arrows, Youyou didn’t wait for Chen Ming’s reaction. She quickly rolled her body to the left. This allowed her to evade the three arrows that Chen Ming fired after he regained his ability to move. Then, she got up and started running in a simple S shape. She dodged another three arrows from her opponent. After that, she raised her crossbow again and fired another six arrows. Once again, all her arrows hit Chen Ming.
The most amazing thing was, after her series of movements, she was less than one meter away from one of the six stone pillars that were situated around the main hall. After firing her last arrow, she took a huge step and hid her body behind that stone pillar. She rested there for a few seconds.
Chen Ming regained his ability to move again. He fired seven arrows towards the stone pillar where Youyou was hiding. Under the powerful destructive power of the Zhuge Celestial Bow, a part of the stone pillar was broken and pieces of stones flew everywhere. But, he wasn’t able to hurt Youyou.
Youyou quickly moved out from the stone pillar and fired six arrows once again. She might have felt that this stone pillar was already badly damaged, so when she was reloading her crossbow, she used the few seconds to roll towards the direction of another pillar. After evading three arrows from Chen Ming, she changed her direction unexpectedly and rolled back. Ye Weiming, who was watching her closely, couldn’t help but compliment her in his heart!
However, at this moment, something happened.
Chen Ming seemed to have predicted her actions. While Youyou was rolling back, among the three arrows that Chen Ming fired, one of them hit the side of Youyou’s abdomen while she was on the move. Because of the power of the Zhuge Celestial Bow, the arrow pierced through her body and took away 521 points of her blood!
The young lady, who had full health a moment ago, was only left with a small number of life points. She was almost killed instantly.
However, even if she wasn’t killed instantly, there wasn’t much of a difference. Remember that using her normal crossbow, Youyou was able to freeze the boss for a short period of time after she hit him with her arrows. Thus, when she got hit by the Zhuge Celestial Bow, the situation would only be worse.
One arrow took away more than 90% of Youyou’s life. Not only that, but she was thrown back by the force of the arrow and fell back on the ground.
Chen Ming laughed loudly when he saw this. “Little fellow, go and die!” He rushed forward and raised the treasured crossbow again. He aimed it at Youyou who was lying on the ground.
Suddenly, a figure shot out diagonally behind him. The person grabbed Youyou’s right leg and dragged her behind the pillar. He hid her behind it properly.
There was no need to ask who this person was; the person who flew out was Ye Weiming. He just managed to reach the main hall.
He released Youyou’s calf and smiled casually. He said confidently, “Your performance is not bad. Now, you can leave the rest to.. What the f**k!”
At first, Ye Weiming was planning to hide behind the pillar and wait for his opponent. Once his opponent came, he would attack him furiously and force him to change to a close-combat weapon. But, when that bastard saw Youyou being saved, he didn’t get greedy and act recklessly. Instead, he went back to the middle of the main hall.
