Chapter 40 - General Leaderboard, Heavy-armored Dragon Knight

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, Li Yi’s entire body was covered in a large dark cape. He shined with dark armor, a heavy shield, and a large demonic sword.

As he walked towards the path to the city, the number of people that turned their heads increased to 100%. There was absolutely no one who could compare to him.

“Carefree Dream!! Is this the first level 10 player in our village? Amazing! He is much too strong, I’m only level 5 now.”

“This set of equipment, I think they’re all at least fine grade. I’m so envious of him right now, I hate it here…”

…

At this moment, Li Yi’s movement speed was extremely fast. Very soon, everyone could no longer see anything except the afterimages he left behind. They immediately opened the level ranking panel. The ranking board would only open when there were players that reached level 10.

Thus, the entire server-level ranking board could now be seen by any player.

1. Snow Flower, Level 10

2. Heavenly Blade, Level 10

3. Carefree Dream, Level 10

4. Misty World, Level 10

5. Cool Summer, Level 10

…

There were so many leveling maniacs in the entire server. They were either fighting monsters every day or on their way to fight high-leveled monsters. Even with Carefree Dream’s speed, he was only ranked third!

As for the person in the first place, Li Yi knew her. She was an extremely strong girl. He had fought together with her before, and she showed immense strength on the battlefield.

When he was at his peak, he had fought with her many times, and the winning rate was 50-50. Also, she had a terrifying learning ability. She learned the opponent’s moves in battle, and she would never make a mistake a second time.

What she yearned for was more strength. She worked hard to protect the person she wanted to protect the most. She had been fighting against the God’s that invaded all her life, and she was also one of the leading figures on the battlefield in the future.

At this moment, Li Yi also hoped to meet her in the city. However, the probability was a little low. After all, there were many cities of all sizes!

Meeting the players he wanted to meet was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, he was currently not familiar with her whereabouts. Even if he wanted to add her, she might not easily accept his friend request.

…

After a few hours of traveling, Li Yi arrived at Xin Royal City, one of the human cities. It was the closest city to his Novice Village.

Unlike the other Novice Villages, Xin Royal City was like a fortress. The towering city walls and heavy city gates separated Xin Royal City from the continuous mountain range.

The city walls of Xin Royal City were made of green bricks and stones. There were faint traces of blood that could be seen on the bricks and stones. The entire city seemed to exude killing intent and blood could be seen everywhere.

At the entrance, there were two stone lions that guarded the two sides of the gate. The two stone lions had different forms and were not carved from the same species of creatures!

Xin Royal City was considered a medium-sized city. It could accommodate 50 million players, and this main city could teleport to other main cities too. However, the cost was very high, and ordinary players could not easily afford this price.

As long as they were not red-name players, the city guards would not stop players from entering the city. After he entered the city, the streets looked to be very empty. Many shops were also closed. This was a place for players to rent the shop lots and to set up shop here, but the rent was usually more expensive in these city areas.

Moreover, he was currently alone in this city so there was no point in setting up shop here just yet. Li Yi walked forward with large strides, and he quickly arrived at the location of an attic. This was the location of the class mentors. The equipment and skills provided by the mentors here were much stronger.

The two main classes and six class mentors stood side by side as they waited for the players to arrive.

The moment Li Yi walked in, those NPC mentors, especially the three warrior mentors, immediately widened their eyes and rushed over.

“Powerful adventurer, why don’t you become a Hercules Warrior? You’ll definitely be satisfied with your powerful strength.”

“Get lost, Brute. Adventurer, you can become a Fast-attack Warrior. In the future, I won’t charge you for learning skills!”

“This adventurer’s talent does not match any of you all. I, Guardian Warrior, am the most compatible with him. He will definitely become a Guardian Warrior.”

…

Indeed, NPCs could sense the strength of players. Some players with powerful talents would be snatched by NPCs.

However, he already knew that he was going to change his class to Guardian Warrior. With such a high HP, it would be a waste of resources if he did not change to this class.

Li Yi immediately replied to these mentors, “Yes! I wish to change my class to Guardian Warrior. I’ll have to trouble you, mentor, to be the one to assist me in this journey.”

The Guardian Warrior mentor immediately replied with a gleeful tone, “Hehe! You definitely didn’t make the wrong choice. With your skills and attributes being so high, the Guardian Warrior class you earn will definitely be able to beat anyone up within a blink of an eye!”

Then, he waved his hand in a series of movements.

“Great Guardian God, grant us strength to this brave warrior. From now on, you will aid him in his journey to become a successful Guardian Warrior!”

[System Notification: Congratulations on becoming a Guardian Warrior.]

The mentor laughed and said, “Alright, your first skill shall be given to you for free!”

[Level 1 Guardian Mastery (passive skill): Increases 5% of final HP, physical defense, magic defense, and HP Recovery. The chance of receiving a critical hit will be reduced by 5%! The highest level is Level10!]

[Level 1 Charge: Charges at the target, causing damage of 10% HP and 100% physical attack. This also causes 2 seconds of stun. Consumes MP 80 when in use. Cooldown time is 30 seconds.]

[Level 1 Indestructible (requires a shield): Raises a shield in one direction, blocking all physical and magic damage within a 5×5 meter range. Damage received will be reduced by 70% for 5 seconds! Consumes 50 MP when in use. Cooldown time is 30 seconds!]

Li Yi immediately learned everything in one go since it was free. After that, he bade farewell to his mentor and walked out of the door. Then, he looked at his own mission for the War God Inheritance trial.

[Mission Name: The Trial to Awaken the War God’s Strength (second round)]

[Mission Content: Find the broken God’s cliff and head underground. You will find unexpected gains there.]

[Mission Duration: None]

[Mission Reward: Possess the qualifications to awaken the War God’s strength.]

[Additional Remarks: This mission should be completed only by one person.]

Li Yi knew where the broken God’s cliff was, but the monsters there were relatively high-level. However, with his current strength, it could be said that it was just right.

Following this, Li Yi opened the mysterious package and a token appeared in his hand.

[Dual Class Token: After using this token, complete a series of missions. Players will possess a hidden class that will match one’s own class. It will not be in conflict with your primary class!]

This was actually a dual-class token, a truly mysterious reward. In his previous life, he did not even have the chance to obtain one. It could be said that it was extremely rare. In his previous life, he did not see many people that owned one of these things.

Dual-class would equate to double the skills. The increase in strength was something that ordinary people dared not to think about. Without any hesitation, Li Yi directly used the token.

[System Notification: You have accepted the mission — Heavy Armored Dragon Knight!]

[Mission Content: Kill the evil beasts in Xin Royal City, the coordinates of these beasts are (****, ****). After defeating the beasts, hand the magic core to the knight commander in Emperor City, the main city of the human race. The mission will only be successful once the magic core has been passed over to the commander.]

[Mission Duration: 24 hours.]

[Mission Reward: Player would be able to equip Heavy Armored Dragon.]

[Additional Remark: Task should be completed by only one player..]
