Chapter 133 Equipment

Xu Yan was clad in a suit of golden armor, brimming with metallic texture, armed to the teeth. His elbows, fists, and shoulders were covered with sharp serrations. It was obviously a set, and a Dark Gold one at that. As for what it was called, Fu Guangtao couldn't say, but it was definitely high-level, far better than the set he had on.

Looking at Xia Tianyu and Fei Zhe, they were also wearing high-level Dark Gold sets.

Fu Guangtao's head swam. When did Dark Gold equipment become so commonplace?

As for levels, Xia Tianyu was one level higher than him, while Xu Yan and Fei Zhe were about the same.

Zhao Shiyu was also stunned by the sight. She hadn't expected Xu Yan, Fei Zhe, and Xia Tianyu to appear in such a way. The equipment on Xu Yan and the others immediately made them feel ashamed. Even Fu Guangtao, who had the best equipment, wasn't on the same level as Xu Yan and his group.

Now that she thought about it, how ridiculous were Fu Guangtao's words about Xu Yan and the others being trash? Compared to Xu Yan and his group, they were the trash!

"Damn, how can Xu Yan, Xia Tianyu, and Fei Zhe have such good equipment!" Fu Guangtao said gloomily in the team chat.

"I don't know. Their equipment was terrible a while ago. How did they suddenly become so strong?" Zhao Shiyu couldn't figure it out.

With Xu Yan and the others' current equipment, Fu Guangtao would definitely lose miserably if he fought them.

Fu Guangtao wasn't a man of much principle. Faced with absolute strength, he cowered, swallowing all the harsh words he'd been about to say.

"You said you'd kill us every time you saw us, kill us until we wouldn't dare leave the city. We'll see if you have the guts to try," Xu Yan said with a sneer. He'd improved a lot recently, and with Nie Yan's equipment, he was full of confidence and no longer as timid as he used to be.

"If you want a duel, find a time. We're ready to go to the end!" Xia Tianyu glanced at Fu Guangtao indifferently. Even without the Dark Gold equipment, he had never been afraid of Fu Guangtao.

Fu Guangtao didn't respond for a long time, and neither did Zhao Shiyu. They were the type of people who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Before, Xu Yan and the others' equipment was terrible, and they were more than capable of dealing with them, but now that they couldn't possibly beat Xu Yan, Xia Tianyu, and Fei Zhe, they became cowardly.

With Xu Yan and the others' current equipment, leading a team into a dungeon would definitely be no problem. These classmates would have a much better future following Xu Yan and the others than following them. That was a fact.

"I thought these guys were so tough after saying so much, so why are they quiet now?" A mage next to him glanced at Fu Guangtao and the others with disdain.

"Probably scared. I don't think you're anything special. Why aren't you so arrogant anymore?"

The people around Chu Chenghao had been holding back their anger, and now it burst out all at once, mocking Fu Guangtao and Zhao Shiyu.

Fu Guangtao and Zhao Shiyu were a little embarrassed. Staying here any longer would be too humiliating.

Zhao Shiyu gave Xu Yan, Xia Tianyu, and Fei Zhe a venomous look, snorted coldly, and left.

Seeing Zhao Shiyu leave, Fu Guangtao didn't say anything and followed her out.

Seeing Zhao Shiyu and Fu Guangtao's dejected appearance, Xu Yan and the others felt extremely happy. Xu Yan clenched his fists, his heart becoming even more determined. He must become stronger until one day Fu Guangtao, Zhao Shiyu, Bai Jun, and these other clowns wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of them again!

"Let's go level up together," Xu Yan said, turning to look at Chu Chenghao and the others.

"Okay."

Xu Yan whispered to Xia Tianyu, "If you level up with us, will it attract the attention of the Swords of Slaughter? Boss specifically told us."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I have a way to gain the trust of the higher-ups in the Swords of Slaughter," Xia Tianyu said.

"Okay, you know best." Xu Yan nodded.

A group of more than a dozen people set off to level up.

Nie Yan stayed in the Ancient World for a full thirty-six days. He completed Task Progress 2, and Task Progress 3, which required killing 500 Rank 3 creatures, was also nearly 60% complete. In addition to working on the Saint Shadow Dance quest, his Apothecary skill had reached 92% of Advanced level. It would reach Master level in a while. Besides the Apothecary skill, Nie Yan learned all the production profession skills, including Blacksmithing, Scrivener, Mechanic, Alchemist, and so on.

The skill slots for production profession skills were separate from those for combat skills and didn't affect each other, so he could learn so many production profession skills.

Nie Yan had collected a lot of various materials in this map. Whenever he had time, he would practice his production profession skills. All of his production profession skills had reached Intermediate level or above, and Alchemy had even reached Advanced level.

Doing all of this took a lot of time. Nie Yan had done very well to reach this level in thirty-six days. He hadn't wasted a single moment. He was either refreshing monsters or practicing his production profession skills at all times.

The harvest was good. As usual, after Nie Yan killed a Rank 3 creature, he took out the magic core. This magic core was jet-black, like a huge black pearl.

The number of magic cores in his bag was increasing, already numbering over a thousand. Nie Yan discovered that these magic cores had different attributes: Fire, Ice, Dark, Holy Light, etc. The Dark and Holy Light types were relatively rare, with about a hundred each.

The Darkwing Dragon was a creature of the Dark attribute. Would it be better to feed it Dark attribute magic cores?

Nie Yan was just guessing. After all, he had never gotten a flying mount or rare items like magic cores in his previous life, so he didn't know much about them.

There were too many things in his bag. Nie Yan decided to feed some magic cores to the Darkwing Dragon.

There were no other creatures active nearby, so it was safe. Nie Yan summoned the Darkwing Dragon. The Darkwing Dragon's huge body appeared on the open space in front of him.

The Darkwing Dragon flapped its wings, and a gust of wind howled past, knocking down the nearby trees. After stretching, it slowly lowered its head to Nie Yan.

Nie Yan touched the Darkwing Dragon's head. He noticed that the Darkwing Dragon's body was larger than before, and small black scales were beginning to grow on its body. It was still in its growth stage and had just started growing scales.

He wondered how far the Darkwing Dragon could grow in the future. Nie Yan took out a Rank 1 Dark attribute magic core from his bag.

The magic core emitted a glittering black luster, exuding pure Dark energy. The Darkwing Dragon's gaze focused on the Rank 1 magic core in Nie Yan's hand, and it couldn't be moved. Its eyes showed a look of anticipation, as if it were drooling.
