Chapter 36 - Awakened Rank

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Puchi!

These green blades directly rushed into the dungeon, but they were lifeless, as if they had sunk into the sea.

“A mutated Overlord creature is really difficult to deal with.” Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Zhen frowned. This was the first time he had encountered such an Overlord creature.

If it was just an ordinary Overlord creature that walked out of the dungeon, he would be able to eliminate it with a lift of his hand. On the other hand, this kind of mutated Overlord had the ability to pull people into the dungeon, giving the experts of the Great Xia Kingdom a headache.

“Fortunately, Destruction-Rank players can completely destroy the dungeon.” Yuan Zhen thought to himself. Meanwhile, he was now holding a large blade that had appeared at some point in time.

At this moment, the Lightning Gobzan dungeon finally pulled Yuan Zhen in. The space around him changed and there were trees all around.

“Tsk tsk, human, I can’t do anything to you outside, but this is my home ground.” The Lightning Gobzan sneered.

Yuan Zhen’s aura continued to decrease in power, from the Awakened Rank, to the Class Rank, and then to the Primary Rank. However, Yuan Zhen’s expression was calm. Other than his strength being suppressed, all of his skills were still present.

“Space Splitting Slash!”

With a buzz, Yuan Zhen wielded his blade and charged forward like a giant dragon. Then, the trees on both sides exploded.

“Lightning strikes!”

The Lightning Gobzan roared. Then, imprints formed under its feet as several white lightning bolts struck down from the sky.

Bam bam…

The two collided like comets colliding. As a result, brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, and a terrifying pressure spread throughout the entire Chengde County. However, because of the dungeon, the battle between the two of them had actually unfolded in a different space and did not affect Chengde County outside.

However, the battle between the two still produced many strange phenomena. Cracks appeared in the sky above, and colorful lines intertwined like spiderwebs in the sky.

Countless people were alarmed, including Li Feng. He stood by the window and could faintly see two illusory figures fighting.

“As the Awakened-Rank player arrived?”

Li Feng watched the battle with a solemn expression. He could vaguely see Yuan Zhen wielding a large blade and unleashing terrifying skills one after another, as if he could slice apart space and time.

However, it was only because the Awakened-Rank player had his strength suppressed that Li Feng could see his figure.

“The Chief Inspector took the path of a Warrior.” Meanwhile, Liu Jiang and the others also chased after him and said happily.

Every single individual in the Warrior Class was extremely powerful. In a one-on-one battle, they had huge advantages and strong defense.

Liu Jiang and the others watched from where they were because they could not help at this time. After entering the alternate dimension, their strength was completely suppressed. It would just be as if they were delivering food to the Lightning Gobzan.

However, Ye Buzhou frowned and said, “This Lightning Gobzan is quite extraordinary. It can even suppress an Awakened-Rank passive skill.”

The biggest difference between the Class Rank and the Awakened Rank was the presence of a passive skill. It could increase one’s power to a terrifying level. Everyone’s passive skill was different, and would only be similar at best.

The battle lasted for almost an hour. As a result, the Lightning Gobzan was suppressed. Its body was covered in blood and there were many cuts.

“Beast, where do you think you’re going?” Yuan Zhen roared. His blade transformed into a dragon, piercing through the entire alternate dimension as though it wanted to shatter everything.

“Do you want to kill me? It’s not that simple.”

The Lightning Gobzan’s gaze were cold. Then, it raised its hand and released countless lightning bolts. It was very decisive. Half of the dungeon exploded like a pool of lightning. Terrifying energy poured out in all directions and blocked the attack. However, the terrifying energy from the blade still penetrated its chest.

“This is not good!” Li Feng’s expression changed drastically. When he felt the lightning above him rushing down towards Chengde County, his heart jumped.

Most of Chengde County would probably be destroyed in an instant by this terrifying wave.

“Attack! Don’t let the lightning land!” Ye Buzhou shouted angrily. Then, the five of them attacked at the same time. Among them, some were Mages that summoned large fireballs; some were Warriors, who slashed their swords; some were Tanks, who summoned a shield from the void…

Bang!

Terrifying fireballs and sword qi exploded above Chengde County, incinerating most of the lightning. Following that, the shield was like a huge mountain that blocked the rest of the lightning. It was like an electric mat that lay flat above the county.

At this moment, every Class played their role.

“Hiss… When various Classes work together, nothing can’t be solved.”

When Li Feng saw this, he gasped in shock. However, he finally relaxed.

At the same time, his heart burned with passion. If he could activate two more characters, his strength would increase to a terrifying level.

“After this Lightning Gobzan mutated, its strength is almost comparable to a Class-Rank player,” said Liu Jiang, who was on the ground.

Qin Ling from Yude No. 1 High School nodded. “Of course. There are very few Overlord creatures that can mutate, let alone an Overlord that can control lightning.”

It had to be said that this Lightning Gobzan was truly an oddity.

Rumble rumble…

“Damn it!”

In the sky, Yuan Zhen rushed out of the dungeon. The cloak on his body had long been torn, and he looked rather pathetic. When he came out, the figure of the Lightning Gobzan gradually disappeared into the lightning, as if they had merged together.

This made him very unhappy. As an Awakened-Rank player, he had actually allowed a Primary-Rank Overlord escape. He said coldly, “All Class-Rank players in Chengde County are to search for the Lightning Gobzan. It’s severely injured now and can’t display much of its strength.”

Although the Lightning Gobzan escaped, it was also seriously injured. Furthermore, half of the dungeon was destroyed. Thus, it would need at least a year to recover.

…

Li Feng’s gaze flickered. His interest piqued, but he didn’t immediately take action. Instead, he opened the game, wanting to see if there were any new changes to the Lightning Gobzan in the game.

“Indeed, the dungeons in the game seem to be closely related to the dungeons in reality. As reality changes, so will the game.”

The moment he entered the game, he saw that the words “Difficult Level” behind the Lightning Gobzan dungeon had disappeared. This made Li Feng extremely delighted. Thus, he immediately entered the game dungeon, wanting to test the Gobzan’s strength.

However, in the end, Li Feng was disappointed once more. His opponent’s strength was still incomparably powerful, and he was a tyrant among the Primary-Rank characters.

In the end, Li Feng heavily injured his opponent, but he was also killed by the Lightning Gobzan.

“This won’t do. I have to find a few helpers.” Li Feng shook his head and suppressed the thought of going out alone to find trouble with the Lightning Gobzan.

He did not enter the game again because he knew the strength of the Lightning Gobzan like the back of his hand. He was no match for it now.

Upon thinking of this, Li Feng frowned. “Forget it. Tomorrow is the day of the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, I’ll think of a way to hunt the Lightning Gobzan. I hope that the Lightning Gobzan won’t die before then. Otherwise, I don’t know where to find the Primary-Rank Energy Source..”
