Chapter 531: I love you
"Heavy Judgment!" When Huang Yi made his move, he used his strongest single-target attack technique, inflicting a blow with three times his attack power and an extra 30% damage boost from the Critical Damage Rune, brutally pouring it onto the flesh of Man Tian!
The scene looked as if Huang Yi was wielding an axe, chopping pork on a cutting board!
"Ding!" Although Man Tian’s body was covered with scars and appeared extremely fragile, when Huang Yi’s furious axe struck down, it produced a sound of metal clashing against stone, as if he had hit a copper wall or an iron barrier. The axe only left a tiny wound on Man Tian’s body, causing minimal damage!
The power of a Celestial Realm Expert was fully displayed at this moment. Even though Huang Yi was already a very powerful Primary Sanctuary Expert, wearing seven pieces of Legendary Equipment, having advanced his War Soul, possessing Name Bestowing Attributes, and having undergone his fifth Evolution, he could not harm the heavily injured Man Tian with his strongest single-target skill!
Of course, part of the reason was the Half-Beast Race’s characteristic. They were a race naturally skilled in defense, and Man Tian, the Celestial Realm Expert, exhibited this even more distinctly!
Now, Huang Yi could only resort to other means of attack. With his variety of techniques, he was far from helpless.
The next moment, Huang Yi swung his axe once more towards Man Tian, this time using only a Normal Attack!
After awakening the bloodline of Nefalem, his Normal Attacks added 20% darkness-based damage and 10% Holy damage! Man Tian should not be able to block these types of damage!
"Pfft!" The sound of a sharp weapon slicing into flesh rang out, and this time Huang Yi’s axe finally sank into Man Tian’s body, dealing considerable damage and far surpassing the Heavy Judgment he had previously used!
As expected, Man Tian could not withstand his darkness-based and Holy damage!
At last, Man Tian’s final breath had ceased, he lost all signs of life, and died completely!
A Celestial Realm Expert who had once dominated the world, was killed by Huang Yi, who was 89 levels below him!
A weak player had slain a Celestial Realm Expert!
An event worthy of an epic tale had actually happened!
In an instant, a vast, unparalleled amount of Experience Points poured onto Huang Yi alone!
Warm currents surged within him one after another, as his Level rapidly climbed!
115th Level!
116th Level!
117th Level!
118th Level!
119th Level!
Only after reaching 119 Level and 69% did the massive influx of Experience Points finally fully deplete!
Man Tian directly caused Huang Yi to soar from Level 114 to 119! It was the fastest leveling he had experienced to date!
This was while his Upgrade Experience was twice that of a regular player. For a normal player, the level gain would have been even greater!
This was the power of a Celestial Realm Expert. Even by killing just one, you could gain a massive amount of Experience Points, saving a lot of time otherwise spent Level Grinding!
In just two days, Huang Yi accomplished an unprecedented feat, soaring from Level 100 to 119. This rate of leveling was probably an eternal world record, unlikely to be broken by anyone!
And with a consecutive five level increase, the Nefalem Bloodline Talent "Demon God Growth" brought him 585 Attribute Points, roughly equivalent to nearly 6 Holy Domain Attribute Points. He allocated all these points to Strength, causing all his strength-related Attributes to soar by a significant margin!
The death of Man Tian brought not only Experience Points as a reward; the other part was the loot he dropped!
Huang Yi clearly remembered that Man Tian, during his fight with the Fallen Messenger, wielded an enormous and ferocious Wolf Fang Club, a weapon befitting a Celestial Realm Expert, which should not be inferior by any means. But the battle last night was too sudden, Man Tian didn’t have the chance to wield it before he was critically injured, and now that he was killed, it should be possible to find it in his storage ring!
Expectantly, Huang Yi looked over Man Tian’s body. After his death, the spot where he fell was spotlessly clean; he had only dropped two items, unlike other major bosses who scattered loot all over the place.
Just then, Huang Yi suddenly noticed that among the items Man Tian had dropped, there was a Magic Bottle, shining with a gem-like brilliance.
Inside this Magic Bottle was a strange pale red potion, bubbling continuously as if it were boiling at all times, appearing extremely mystical.
Huang Yi immediately bent down, picked it up, and inspected its properties—
[Attribute Exchange Potion] (S-grade, Magic Item - Potion)
After use, one can exchange attributes with a target. If the target shares the same status hierarchy, all attributes can be swapped, lasting 1 hour. If the target’s status hierarchy is one tier higher, only 50% of the attributes can be swapped, lasting 1 minute. If the target’s status hierarchy is two tiers higher, the potion is ineffective!
A Grade S Potion!
Huang Yi was slightly taken aback and suddenly thought of Miyamoto Musashi!
Miyamoto Musashi had the most Grade S potions in the world, and he revealed several types during the martial arts tournament. Huang Yi had never seen this Grade S potion before and wondered whether it was created by Miyamoto Musashi.
Originally, Huang Yi felt that there was something suspicious about the situation, with Man Tian taking the risk to chase and kill him at this time, which was a bit too abnormal. He had long suspected that someone was behind this, and now, seeing this potion, he was fairly certain that person was Miyamoto Musashi.
However, this was merely speculation. Though Grade S potions were rare, it was not implausible for Man Tian, a Celestial Realm Expert, to possess one.
But no matter what, this precious Grade S potion now belonged to Huang Yi!
There were two scenarios for using this potion: one was against an enemy of the same tier. In this case, it could last for 1 hour, with a full attribute swap. For example, if he was a Primary Sanctuary Expert, he could directly swap attributes with a Top Holy Domain Expert and possibly even counter-kill that expert!
The other scenario was when surpassing one tier. For example, if Huang Yi, a Holy Domain Warrior, tried to swap attributes with a Celestial Realm Expert, it would only last for 1 minute, and only 50% of the attributes would be swapped, basically making them equally matched. If the enemy’s status hierarchy was even higher, reaching the Divine Domain level, Huang Yi would be unable to swap attributes, rendering the potion ineffective.
Huang Yi suddenly felt relieved, thankful that the entity he released wasn’t a Top-Level Sky Domain Expert. Otherwise, swapping attributes with Man Tian would have finished them off!
Huang Yi cautiously stored the Grade S potion into his storage ring. Since he used up the two instant-kill potions, this was his only Grade S potion left.
He then bent down and picked up the second item that Man Tian had dropped!
It was a storage ring!
This was exactly what Huang Yi had hoped to see among the loot, as the contents of a storage ring often represented all of a BOSS’s belongings! As a Celestial Realm Expert, how substantial could Man Tian’s entire wealth be? Grade S potions? Legendary equipment? Top-level Energy Stones? All these were possible!
Huang Yi took a deep breath, eager to open it and see what was inside.
"[System Prompt]: This storage ring is sealed with a Half-Beast seal, which can only be unlocked by a strong individual of the Half-Beastmen Clan."
After receiving this system prompt, Huang Yi was slightly startled. He had thought that he could directly reap the ring’s rewards, but now he encountered an obstacle at the last step.
It appeared that the Central Continent was a place fraught with dangers. To prevent their top experts from falling in battle and their storage rings from getting into enemy hands, potentially leading to the theft of secrets and treasures, the Half-Beast Holy Land had devised such a seal. This way, even if enemies acquired the storage rings, they wouldn’t be able to utilize their contents.
However, this wouldn’t be a problem for Huang Yi, since he was also considered a Half-Beast. He had undergone two evolutions related to the Half-Beast Race!
He immediately transformed into his Half-Beast form and tried to open the storage ring, which contained all of Man Tian’s belongings.
"[System Prompt]: Your Strength Value does not meet the requirements, and you cannot remove the seal."
This time, Huang Yi’s hopes were dashed again!
His Strength Value was surely among the highest of all players, yet he still couldn’t break the seal on the ring. It was unknown how much Strength Value would be needed to open this storage ring.
Huang Yi reluctantly put the storage ring away, deciding to wait until his power had grown stronger to consider it again.
For now, Man Tian had brought him Level 5, a Grade S potion, and a storage ring that could not yet be opened. The rewards were already generous enough; Man Tian had given almost everything to him, leaving nothing but a bare and smooth body.
But Huang Yi didn’t intend to waste even Man Tian’s body; it was also a treasure!
After his War Soul’s advancement, he needed powerful souls to strengthen it!
The stronger the absorbed soul, the more additional attributes would be attached!
Furthermore, the Barbarian God possessed Nine Great Acupoints, and each acupoint needed to absorb the souls of creatures slain by his own hand. The more souls absorbed, the stronger the Barbarian God’s power would become!
Man Tian was definitely one of the strongest enemies Huang Yi had killed, apart from the Hydra. Once absorbed, the enhancement would be substantial. However, both Huang Yi’s War Soul and the acupoints of the Barbarian God were equally important, and the corpse wasn’t enough to share.
But soon, Huang Yi thought of a perfect solution. He looked at the Barbarian God and said, "Barbarian God, come and absorb it to strengthen your acupoints."
"Thank you, Master!" said the Barbarian God, visibly excited, as he immediately moved towards Man Tian’s corpse and placed his hand on the body.
In an instant, Man Tian’s body turned into a blood light at a speed visible to the naked eye and entered the acupoint in the Barbarian God’s left foot. His left foot became stronger by a noticeable margin, the aura mighty, as if harboring a peerless fierce spirit within. Now, the Barbarian God’s left foot was sturdier than the right, resulting in an almost comical, disproportionate appearance.
After absorbing Man Tian’s body, Huang Yi noticed that the Barbarian God’s strength had suddenly increased by about 5%, and Constitution most noticeably by 10%.(To be continued.
