Heroes' Prison

Chapter 719 - 688 New Title

Huang Yi turned his head and looked at the Level 185 Guardian.

The sharp gleam from his Bloodstained War Halberd reflected in the sunlight, shining into the eyes of the Guardian, lighting up those chilly pupils.

This Guardian had always been above him, surpassing him by over twenty levels, with tremendous strength.

Moreover, the Guardian was of a Warrior-Type Class, unlike the previous Level 175 Guardian who was an Eccentric with a leaning towards the mage class and was not afraid of his close-range attacks, completely capable of clashing head-on with him.

Now, Huang Yi had decided to have an official battle with him!

These 24 hours were the golden time to kill the opponent, with no one able to interfere. Otherwise, once the Level 195 Guardian returned tomorrow, the situation would become very passive.

"Whoosh!" Huang Yi took the initiative, his Golden Holy Dragon Wings flickering like lightning behind him as he rode Little Dragon, drawing a golden streak and flashing in front of the Level 185 Guardian!

The Level 185 Guardian’s pupils shrank; with a sidestep, he dodged the attack.

His speed was not much slower than Huang Yi’s, and his other attributes even surpassed Huang Yi’s, so it wasn’t certain who would lose or win between them.

This exchange was over in the blink of an eye; many spectators didn’t even have time to react! They only managed to see a flash from Huang Yi and the Guardian out of the blue.

Huang Yi flapped his Golden Holy Dragon Wings and banked sharply, charging again at the Level 185 Guardian!

At the same time, his keen eyes were fixedly watching for any tilt in the Guardian’s body, swiftly predicting the direction of his dodge! His Bloodstained War Halberd launched ahead of time, smashing swiftly toward the left!

Almost concurrently, the Level 185 Guardian flashed to the left, but collided right with the trajectory of Huang Yi’s thrown axe, forcibly rebounded back!

Huang Yi instantly recalled the speeding Bloodstained War Halberd and fiercely smashed down a Heavy Judgment on the Level 185 Guardian!

This time, Huang Yi was extremely lucky to proc a very effective negative status from the Legendary Ring, "Sand Thief King’s Dream", immobilizing his enemy for three seconds!

But in the next moment, the Guardian regained his freedom, instantly using a Control Removal Skill to break free from the negative state, his crescent blade cutting through the sunlight with successive slashes, sending out three blood-red Sword Qis.

Riding on Little Dragon, Huang Yi dodged again and again, his wings flapping into blurs, narrowly avoiding this counterattack.

The Level 185 Guardian was not to be underestimated, far surpassing the Level 175 Guardian, with a probing attack revealing the equal strength of both fighters.

"Whoo!" Just then, Little Dragon suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a golden Sacred Flame that instantly covered a large area, engulfing the Level 185 Guardian as well.

In the blink of an eye, the Level 185 Guardian had become a man on fire, burning with the golden Sacred Flame, and for the next 24 hours, his Movement Speed would drop by 20%!

This counted as Huang Yi’s first successful attack on the Guardian. Little Dragon might only be around Level Fifty-Sixty, but it had already reached its Growth Phase, starting to manifest its combat power. And since its Sacred Flame carried a 50% Holy Element Attack, even the Level 185 Guardian couldn’t resist, suffering continuous damage.

At that moment, Huang Yi’s Incarnation suddenly circled to the back of the Guardian, wielding the Bloodstained War Halberd and stabbing it fiercely into his back, a successful sneak attack!

Huang Yi’s original body and Incarnation teamed up against the Guardian, creating a two-on-one situation.

"Sword Qi Guard!" The Guardian, holding his crescent blade, swung in a circle, releasing three blood-red Sword Qis that tightly surrounded him, forming a protective layer that isolated Little Dragon’s Sacred Flame.

His speed also surged dramatically in this protective layer.

This must be a continuous buff skill, capable of both protecting him and boosting his Movement Speed!

Huang Yi became fully alert, engaging in a tough struggle with the Level 185 Guardian.

The two exchanged blows and countered each other’s moves, making the battle fiercely contested.

Huang Yi was cursed with the Samsara Curse, meaning death would lead to direct reincarnation, so he fought very cautiously and dared not land a Judgment on his opponent, keeping his distance at the first sign of trouble, making the fight drag out slowly.

This was highly disadvantageous; Huang Yi had to think of a way to boost his strength again and break this stalemate!

Huang Yi thought for a moment and decided to withdraw his Incarnation from the fray, flying towards the distance, leaving just his original self in a contest with the Level 185 Guardian.

Huang Yi’s Incarnation began patrolling Northern Sea City, seeking to kill members of the Martial Arts Guild, collecting Battle Merits and Experience Points.

He had been stuck at the Senior Officer level for some time and was not far from reaching the Junior General rank!

...

Gradually, the night fell.

Huang Yi’s incarnation had already killed countless players; within dozens of kilometers of his location, it was almost impossible to see another player.

"Boom!" Just then, Huang Yi’s incarnation exploded another player!

After this prolonged killing spree, his military rank finally took a historic step forward, promoting from Senior Colonel to Junior General!

The rank of Junior General already belongs to the general officer levels, which is a significant step up from senior officer levels!

There are four ranks for generals, namely, Junior General, Major General, Lieutenant General, and General.

And above the rank of general is the highest stage of military rank—Marshal!

The title of Marshal is elusive; it’s unknown how many battle merits are needed for the promotion. Therefore, the rank of general is considered the highest rank players can typically achieve under normal circumstances.

Now, Huang Yi had stepped into such a tier!

[Junior General](Military Rank, General)

When treated by players from the same country, healing effects increase by 17%

When facing enemy country players, attack power increases by 17%

Movement speed increases by 16%

After killing enemy country players, experience points gained are tripled

If killed in war, the loss of battle merits is reduced by 30%

All attributes increase by 5%, and during national warfare, for every 5% loss in health points, all attributes increase by an additional 1%.

Indeed, the rank of Junior General added another attribute, but it only takes effect during national warfare!

This attribute effect gives a sensation of flirting with death; to enjoy the bonus, one must let their health points fall low, or they wouldn’t benefit from this boost.

But once health points drop, it becomes easy to die, and this balance must be managed incredibly well.

In addition to this, the rank of Junior General also provided a boost to the original attributes.

After rising to the Junior General tier, Huang Yi finally shifted his attention back to his real body.

His real body had been grinding against a Level 185 Guardian for half a day, with most of his attacks either blocked or dodged by the guardian, making the fight excruciatingly slow. The Guardian possessed a self-healing skill, allowing it to heal itself; even now, it still had more than 50% of its health points. The Guardian also couldn’t do anything to him, resulting in a stalemate between the two fighters.

Now, after being promoted to Junior General, Huang Yi suddenly changed his combat style and started trading blows with the Level 185 Guardian, adopting a desperate, all-in tactic.

Soon his health points had plummeted down to 40%, a critical warning line; any lower and it would endanger his life!

However, he had just advanced to the Junior General tier, and the lower his health points, the stronger he became!

His racial talents and class talents both provided boosts that made him stronger the lower his health points were!

With that, his strength suddenly soared, his attacks grew sharper and stronger, his attack speed and movement speed increased, along with improvements in various other attributes.

The Level 185 Guardian could finally no longer keep up, struggling more and more with the fight!

Huang Yi was also fighting more dangerously, this 40% of health points could be depleted in just a few hits; it was like dancing on the edge of a knife!

Finally, the Guardian’s health points were reduced to only 30%!

"Crescent Moon Blade!" The Guardian suddenly raised its head toward the full moon in the sky, letting out a long howl, reminiscent of a lone wolf raising its cry to the moon.

In an instant, a thick pillar of light shot down from the full moon in the starry sky, connecting to the Guardian, and endless moonlight poured into its body.

As the moonlight infused into it, the Guardian’s aura grew increasingly terrifying, and the crescent blade in its hand emitted a bone-white radiance, becoming brighter and brighter, as if transformed into a blade of moonlight.

The next moment, the Guardian suddenly became a silver streak of light, its speed soared dramatically, and it collided violently with Huang Yi, delivering a fierce slash!

"Pfft!" Huang Yi’s health points suddenly bottomed out.
