Chapter 1 An Eighth-Rank Muffled Strike

An eighth-rank Muffled Strike was enough to shock them, but if they knew Nie Yan had tenth-rank skills, eleventh-rank skills, and fifteenth-rank kicks, what kind of expressions would they have? If they saw Nie Yan's skill list, how shocked would they be!

"Right, you should have more than just one Muffled Strike skill," Brilliant Knife Light said, looking at Nie Yan.

"An eleventh-rank Spine Break, and a ninth-rank Stun..." Nie Yan said, and under Sun and the others' questioning, he simply showed them his skill list.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Nie Yan's skill list was truly spectacular!

If he only had one skill, that would be one thing, but he had more than a dozen skills above the eighth or ninth rank, and the highest was even a full fifteenth rank. It was simply ridiculously strong. With so many powerful skills, he could probably fight a Lord of the same level. If he didn't encounter a freak Lord like the Poison Mist Scorpion, Nie Yan might even be able to solo a level-one-hundred Lord.

Eleventh-rank Spine Break, tenth-rank Backhand Backstab, tenth-rank Counter, tenth-rank Shadow Phantom Assassination, tenth-rank Instant Strike, seventh-rank Backstab, eighth-rank Muffled Strike, ninth-rank Stun, fifteenth-rank Kick...

Any one of these skills could drive all players crazy. Muffled Strike, Stun, and other skills were one thing, but he actually had a full five free skills, all without exception above the tenth rank. Unless there was some special method, it would be extremely difficult to train skills to this level! According to the game's progress, it would probably take at least five or six years.

"After glancing at your skill bar, we also want to go to that map to train skills," Brilliant Knife Light said with emotion. It was estimated that everyone wanted to go, but unfortunately, it was a special map, and you had to receive a special quest to enter.

"A map for training skills..." Nie Yan suddenly thought of such a place. There was a map with an NPC that specialized in training players' skill proficiency, which could greatly increase the speed at which players trained their skills. "When you guys reach around level one hundred and twenty, you can go to a map to train skills. The speed can probably be increased by about three times. If your technique is strong enough, it can be increased by more than eight times."

That map was naturally far worse than the Realm of Illusions, but it was still pretty good.

The geographical location there was extremely hidden. In his previous life, a player accidentally entered it, and later, after it was made public, the trouble came. That NPC only released 500 quests a day, limiting 500 people to accept the quests. There were quite a few fights revolving around that NPC. The Victorious Return Empire controlled that map for a period of time, which aroused fierce resistance from other guilds, and in the end, they could only let it go. It wasn't like the Victorious Return Empire discovered it, so why should the Victorious Return Empire monopolize it?

If they could control that place in the fastest possible time, then the players of the Mad Rogue Tribe would be in luck. By allowing the players of the Mad Rogue Tribe to train their skill levels higher, their level advancement would naturally be faster, and it would be easier to pull away from others.

As for whether other guilds had any objections, it was the Mad Rogue Tribe who discovered the place first, so they had the right to enjoy it exclusively. This was also one of the rules that players tacitly agreed to.

Hearing Nie Yan's words, a group of elite players showed a strong interest. When they were leveling up, they all deeply felt that their skill levels were too low, which had seriously restricted their development. They wanted to train their skills, but the speed was too slow, and training a skill had to take a lot of time. If there were some shortcuts, they could speed up the process and not waste so much time.

Everyone's passion for leveling up was instantly ignited. This group of people were the top players in the entire Greenland, and if they rushed to level up, it would definitely be amazing.

After dealing with everything here, Brilliant Knife Light and the others prepared to continue down the Griffin Woodlands. After all, aerial cavalry was still very important. If they could build a griffin cage in Cripps Fortress, the development of the Mad Rogue Tribe's aerial cavalry would be much faster.

Nie Yan had already reached 78% of level ninety-seven, and he still had to continue to hit level one hundred. He already felt that Shadow Dance was just around the corner.

Brilliant Knife Light and the others left, and Nie Yan continued to level up.

When he approached level one hundred, it became increasingly difficult to level up. Killing ordinary monsters was already very difficult to level up, so after thinking about it, Nie Yan locked onto a target.

With so many powerful skills, it shouldn't be a problem to solo some ordinary Lords above level one hundred, right?

Using a Return Scroll, he returned to Carol City. Nie Yan got on the Darkwing Dragon and flew towards the towering mountains north of Carol City.

It was a pity that if the Darkwing Dragon killed a monster, the experience would not go to Nie Yan. Otherwise, with the Darkwing Dragon's powerful attributes, if it were used for leveling up, the speed would definitely be astonishing.

After the Darkwing Dragon flew for about twenty minutes, the undulating mountains below were covered with dense forests.

Nie Yan, riding the Darkwing Dragon, circled in the sky for a while, his eyes searching below. This should be the Solode Mountains in the Kulu Mountains. He discovered a barren area on the mountainside, where no plants grew, and there seemed to be a large creature active there.

That's the place!

Nie Yan put away the Darkwing Dragon and jumped down into the jungle below.

What refreshed there was a creature called the White-Haired Behemoth. It was huge, about the same size as a Behemoth, but it was a herbivorous creature with great strength, strong attacks, and thick skin, but it only had physical attacks and no special skills. It was clumsy and relatively easy to deal with, so Nie Yan chose it as his target.

It was a level one hundred and ten Lord monster!

In his previous life, he had also come with a group to kill the White-Haired Behemoth, so he had a thorough understanding of it.

The White-Haired Behemoth had a strong sense of territory. It would eat all the plants around it, creating a barren area, and then dig a hole in the center of the barren area to serve as a nesting place. If you saw a bare barren area in the Solode Mountains, you could basically determine that a White-Haired Behemoth lived there.

This was Nie Yan's first time trying to solo a Lord monster above level one hundred. Compared to other Lord monsters above level one hundred, the White-Haired Behemoth could be considered a relatively easy type to bully. Its strength was at most similar to a level one hundred elite, but it just had a little more health.

With a bang, Nie Yan landed lightly, darted through the trees, and ran towards the distance, gradually reaching the edge of the barren area.

Nie Yan hid in a low bush and looked towards the center of the barren area in the distance. Just as he thought, he found a White-Haired Behemoth.

The White-Haired Behemoth was a bit like a bear, with pure white fur all over its body, without a trace of other colors. Its body was round, and even moving was very inconvenient.

Next, he had to solo this beast. Nie Yan didn't dare to be too careless. He glanced at his backpack. Some necessary things were prepared, including Agility Potions, Strength Potions, Speed Potions, etc., at least all above the Advanced level, and a few were even Master level. In addition to these potions that added buff states, there were also some Master-level Instant Recovery Potions and Advanced Bandages, which could be used at any time during the battle.

Nie Yan found an open space and sat down, placing the Sword of Zennarde in front of him. He took out a bottle of emerald green potion from his backpack. This potion was contained in a very high-end crystal bottle, and the green liquid inside was like crystal, clear, transparent, and full of texture. Under the light, it emitted a green glow.

Ordinary players might be filled with love when they saw such a bottle of potion, but it was hard to imagine that this was a deadly poison!

This bottle of emerald green potion was a potent toxin specially made by the low-profile Nan Nan for Nie Yan. Toxins were divided into two types: one was a deadly toxin that could cause opponents to continuously lose health, and the other was a slowing poison that could greatly reduce the opponent's speed.

This potion belonged to the deadly toxin type, which could cause a large amount of toxin damage, 500 points per second, lasting for five minutes. Without a Master-level antidote, it was basically impossible to remove.

A full five minutes, this toxin was quite persistent. The cumulative damage could reach 150,000, which was quite amazing.

He took out some toxins and carefully smeared them on the Sword of Zennarde. A touch of shimmering green appeared on the blade of the Sword of Zennarde.

After getting everything done, Nie Yan stood up, entered stealth mode, and slowly approached the back of the White-Haired Behemoth.

The White-Haired Behemoth was sitting on the ground, grabbing some rough wood and constantly gnawing on it. Only a sharp friction sound was heard, and these woods were ground into pieces by its sharp teeth, and some of them were swallowed. A large pile of wood chips was scattered on the ground.

The distance to the White-Haired Behemoth was getting closer and closer, only about five yards away. The White-Haired Behemoth still hadn't discovered Nie Yan's location. Just like in his previous life, this guy's perception ability was quite weak.

Nie Yan could almost feel the scorching heat coming from the White-Haired Behemoth's body.

He gave the White-Haired Behemoth a Detect and looked at its attributes. Its health was a full seven million, much more than the Poison Mist Scorpion.

Storm Assault!

Nie Yan added a state to himself, his speed skyrocketed, and he pounced on the White-Haired Behemoth like a gust of wind, giving the White-Haired Behemoth a Spine Break on its back.

Before the White-Haired Behemoth had time to react, with a plop, the Sword of Zennarde accurately stabbed into the White-Haired Behemoth's back, instantly stabbing in halfway, and blood spurted out.

Success! Nie Yan looked at the state of the White-Haired Behemoth: Crippled for 3 seconds.

Only 3 seconds. Nie Yan frowned. When he controlled the Poison Mist Scorpion, the same eleventh-rank Spine Break could control it for a full 5 seconds. It seemed that the White-Haired Behemoth had a relatively strong resistance to control skills, which was a bit troublesome.

After thinking about it, the White-Haired Behemoth's movement speed was relatively slow, so as long as he was fast enough and didn't make any mistakes, it should be fine.

A touch of emerald green color appeared on the White-Haired Behemoth's body. It had been poisoned, and damage values of five hundred floated above its head.

Doomsday Cataclysm!

Nie Yan used a Doomsday Cataclysm on the White-Haired Behemoth. With the addition of five curses, the White-Haired Behemoth's defense suddenly dropped a lot. Originally, Nie Yan couldn't do much damage to the White-Haired Behemoth, but after the Doomsday Cataclysm, Nie Yan's damage skyrocketed several times. Ordinary attacks could reach more than a thousand, and using skills could reach five or six thousand. His damage output was much higher than the White-Haired Behemoth's self-recovery speed.

Backstab! Eviscerate!

One after another, lethal skills were used, and the damage accumulated rapidly. The White-Haired Behemoth's health slowly decreased.
