After accepting the quest, Su Jin went to the female potion merchant to purchase some potions. Due to his outstanding title as a villager, the female potion merchant smiled at Su Jin.

She even took out a rare item from the cabinet under the shop and added it to the list of goods.

It was the [ Medium Bottle Purification Potion ], but unfortunately, there was only one set, and the price was five times that of [ Small Bottle Purifying Potion ]. So, Su Jin bought it without hesitating.

After that, Su Jin turned around walked out of the store. He did not accept any other quests and prepared to leave the village to fight the wolves.

If he wanted to successfully clear the [ Devil Dragon’s Fury ] dungeon in one go, the safest way was to increase the level of his battle tactics and gather a “demonic set”. He also needed to find a few teammates to help shift the monsters’ aggro and add a few buffs for himself.

Along the way to the quest, Su Jin opened the inventory. Then he tapped to open the village chief’s hidden treasure chest and the rewards.

A flash of light flashed, and a blue skill book with a warrior’s logo appeared in front of him.

“Ding! Congratulations, you have opened the village chief’s hidden treasure chest and obtained a blue skill book: Shadow Warrior.”

[ Shadow Warrior ](Blue)

Effect: Summons a Shadow Warrior to attack the enemy. The Shadow Warrior has 50% of the main body’s attributes and cannot use skills or items. It can last for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Description: You can use it as a shield. That function is useful in a battle.

Su Jin had activated a blue skill. The main body of the skills had 50% attributes, which was equivalent to a temporary increase of 50% of its attack. He could also use it as a shield, which meant the Shadow Warrior had a physical body.

After Su Jin finished reading it, he directly clicked to learn it and obtained the second warrior skill.

However, the skill experience would be insufficient, and the experience bar would deplete.

While Su Jin pondered, he quickened his pace and wanted to slay monsters as soon as possible.

However, when Su Jin arrived at the village’s entrance were and was about to set, a few hundred players suddenly appeared in the forest in front of him. Each player had a guild prefix on their head, and the leader was the guild leader of [ Tyrant Guild ], Tyrant Knight.

Many members from the Assassin Guild and Greed Wolf Guild were with them. Although their guild leaders were not with them, their authority members showed themselves from time to time. It was likely that their guild leaders would arrive soon.

The solo players who followed behind became excited.

“Quickly come and watch the show. The three guilds are going to besiege [ Heavenly Cloud ]. A good show is about to begin.”

“Open a bet. Everyone, place your bets. [ Heavenly Cloud ] is the expert among the solo players. I think the odds of Heavenly Cloud winning are 1:2. I don’t think the three guilds can slay Heavenly Cloud. The odds are 1:4. Everyone, hurry up and place your bets.”

“If the fight starts later, I’ll hold my bets and won’t accept any more bets.”

“D*mn, you want to bet on Heavenly Cloud. You will be paying me to double the bet later. I’ll bet on Heavenly Cloud too!”

“Rosette Guild hasn’t said which side they were on. Would they sneak attack Heavenly Cloud during the battle?”

The solo players gathered at the back to watch. They hadn’t stepped out of the Novice Village. The attacks outside couldn’t hit them. So they were in the mood to chat and discuss.

…

At the entrance of the Novice Village, Tyrant Knight walked in front, and he looked gloomy.

“Heavenly Cloud, take off your equipment and give us back the equipment we dropped. We will spare your life if you do as told. We can resolve the conflict through discussion.”

Before Tyrant Knight could speak, the vice president of the Tyrant Guild spoke out first.

It shocked the players from the Assassin Guild and the Greed Wolf Guild. However, their authority members were controlling the situation. So no one stood out to object.

After a while, the Greed Wolf Guild leader and the Assassin Guild leader arrived. The two of them only nodded at Tyrant Knight as a sign of greeting and then silently watched the development of the situation. Most of the time, their gazes were on the equipment on Su Jin’s body,

Most of the players had beginner equipment, plus one or two pieces of low-grade equipment. The bronze-colored equipment on Heavenly Cloud’s body was eye-catching.

Moreover, Heavenly Cloud had collected a lot of equipment after slaying the guild players.

No one had leaked out the matter of Su Jin selling the equipment to the Rosette Guild yet. The Rosette Guild would not be foolish enough to reveal it. They had not distributed the equipment to their members yet.

“President, that Heavenly Cloud’s equipment is valuable. It would be disadvantageous for us if he gives them to the Tyrant Guild,” the vice president of Greed Wolf Guild reminded in a low voice.

Greed Wolf shook his head and didn’t seem to mind about it, “It’s fine. That is just a trap. If Heavenly Cloud believes it, it can only mean that he is very foolish. The vice president’s words have no effect. Only with the guild leader’s approval can it take effect.”

“So, the items will still be divided equally among the three families after meeting those conditions. Unless Tyrant Knight has something else in mind.”

Greed Wolf whispered and explained to his vice president.

With the vice president making a promise, and the president accepting the benefits and then going back on his word was indeed not good the reputation of the guild. However, it was enough if the benefits were high.

A fool might be smarter someday. However, the increase in ability was the only way to face the crisis in the future.

It was the time for the guilds to increase their strength.

Su Jin glanced at the vice president of the Tyrant Guild and sneered, “Can you represent Tyrant Guild?”

“You will be kicked out from the guild as soon as the deal is done, right?”

“Cut the crap. Are you guys here to teach me a lesson?”

Su Jin was calm. The main reason was that the cooldown time of the stealth mode had ended. He could start it anytime to flee or even attack the guilds.

Su Jin would be able to slay hundreds of players if he activated his [ Fighting Aura Domain ]. If he was lucky, he could kill thousands of players.

Before the vice president of the Tyrant Guild, Tyrant Knight stopped him, “I’m just asking you to give it a try. Do you think he is a fool?”

“It will only be insulting to ourselves no matter how much we say now.”

After forcing the vice president to step back, Tyrant Knight took two steps forward and said with a grin, “Heavenly Cloud, I admit that you’re powerful. You might even have a stealth skill. However, it’s just that we can’t see you. It’s not that we can’t hit you.”

“We have over a thousand people attacking indiscriminately. We’ll wait at the village entrance. We will slay you every time we see you. You’ll never leave the Novice Village until your level falls to Level 1!”

“If you still want to survive in this game, you only have one choice, which is to surrender!”

Tyrant Knight raised his head slightly and arrogantly waited for Su Jin’s reply.

He was confident that Su Jin would be afraid of facing such a threat. After all, the guilds would do what he just said.

“Oh, is that so?” Su Jin smiled and took out the treasure map that the BOSS had dropped from his bag, “Then, please take the blow from my fighting aura domain first.”

“F*ck, Heavenly Cloud is going to use the skill scroll [ Fighting Aura Domain ]. Run!”

“Everyone, keep your distance and try to fight separately.”

“President, retreat now, or he might slay you.”

The players from the three guilds had no choice but to retreat a little. In the New World, many scrolls stored power. The player using them would be powerful.

Many players guessed that the [ Fighting Aura Domain ] that Su Jin had activated was a skill scroll.

However, the three guild leaders were the first to realize that Su Jin had tricked them when they saw the sneer on Su Jin’s face. That was not a skill scroll!

It was impossible for a player to get a skill scroll as strong as the [ Fighting Aura Domain ] at the beginning of the game..
