Chapter 148 - The Stars Rise and Fall

He used one-tenth of his magic power to summon a four-thousand-meter meteor.

However, this time, the [Starfall] that appeared was only four hundred meters big.

‘Huh!?’ Ling Yi was slightly stunned. He then laughed in his heart. ‘Finally. It’s something smaller.’

Originally, the probability of [Starfall] appearing ten times its actual size was very small. But thanks to his [Probability Reversal] talent, it became a very high probability.

Normally, there was a high chance of the meteor not appearing at all.

Either way, people could say that he was “unlucky” this time.

[Starfall has risen to 5 Stars!]

The notification made Ling Yi subconsciously smile.

In the past, [Starfall] was less powerful, but he could use it more quickly. Now, [Starfall] became more powerful, and he could basically finish off his enemies in one or two shots. As a result, he used it less often, and the speed of his Stars rank slowed down.

‘Perhaps I don’t need to use [Starfall] at full power every time in the future. Adjusting the power according to the enemy’s situation might be a better tactic.’ Ling Yi suddenly thought.

In the future, when he faced a group of monsters, if he wasn’t in a hurry to kill them, he could use part of his magic power to release small meteors.

This way, his [Starfall]’s Star rank would rise faster.

As his mind continued to think away, his hands did not stop moving.

With a wave of his hand, he created a huge tornado, which pulled Zhou Tian into the air and spun at high speed!

On the spectator stand, the crowd was in a heated discussion.

“Did 01 think that such a small meteorite could kill his opponent?”

“But how does he know how much life force the other party has left? There’s no such ability in the world that could do that!”

“I’m not sure,”

While everyone was discussing, the meteor had already landed.

Thanks to the protective shield of the arena, the audience would not be affected even if the battle on the battle stage caused an earthquake.

They could only see the entire arena being engulfed in flames. In a short one to two seconds, the flames and the two people on the stage disappeared.

It was obvious that the battle was over.

Everyone quickly opened the ranking list to check.

[Regional ranking: 40 ~ 49]

[1. 01| Lv40]

[2. Zhou Tian| Lv49]

[3. I only want to plant trees| Lv49]

[4. Heartache for 30 days| Lv49]

[5. Advertising space rental| Lv49]

…

[End of rank list]

“01 has indeed reached the top.”

“But he’s also a Mage. If other Warriors deal with him, they might not be able to beat him in the end, but they should be able to force him to use his trump card.

“Isn’t his trump card the Ice Master in his body? She shouldn’t be able to come out to the arena, right?”

“God knows.”

The players could accept the fact that one player was living in another player’s body.

After all, this kind of thing happens a few times every year around the world, and almost all of them were caused by various strange items or Skills.

However, 01 was the only person they had ever seen who could summon the player’s soul residing in his body out to fight. And because of that, no one is really sure if they could call her out in the arena.

…

After returning from the arena, Ling Yi didn’t make any more moves. Instead, he went to rest.

It was only when he woke up in the morning that he entered God’s Path once more. He then went to the eighth checkpoint of the main road with Lin Ying and a group of players.

[Current Area: Demon Bat Cave (8th checkpoint of the main road)]

[Monster Information: Vampire Bat (level 60-level 65), Vampire Bat Lord (level 65, Leader)]

The eighth checkpoint of the main road was located in a dark cave on the top of a mountain. There was only one kind of creature inside, and that was the Vampire Bat that hid in the darkness, only revealing its scarlet eyes.

The limited space, the dim environment, the uneven ground, and all the long-range attack monsters made the level of danger of this pass rise sharply.

The boss, Vampire Bat Lord, was a human-shaped monster. It wore a large cloak that was black on the outside and red on the inside, and had dirty golden hair. Under his blood-stained eyebrows was a pair of bloodshot red eyes. His skin was deathly pale, and there was a pair of sharp and slender fangs in his blood-stained mouth.

In short, he looked like a western vampire.

After the fusion, Lin Ying flew beside Ling Yi. She looked at the Vampire Bat Lord, who was baring its fangs not far away. There was no fear on her beautiful face.

She was still wearing a beige short skirt, and the eight golden shining tassels tied on the skirt illuminated her attractive legs.

Because he had fused with Xia Wanqing, only Ling Yi could see her exposed body. In the eyes of the others, the skin that was exposed under her clothes was completely blurred.

Her hands reached behind her head to tidy up her high ponytail, and her eyes were fixed on the boss in front of her. A hint of caution flashed through her beautiful, dark blue eyes.

“There’s a reason why the others can’t beat it. This boss is very difficult to deal with.” Lin Ying said with her alluring glossy red lips as she tied her hair into a high ponytail.

Ling Yi was still thinking about what would happen on planet layan. He nodded lightly and said, “Yes, he’s quite powerful.”

The Demon Bat Cave was a famous challenge in intermediate maps.

In the past, she would spend time here for three to four months every time she visited God’s Path.

“I’ll go first.” Lin Ying said and was about to move when she suddenly thought of something. She stopped and turned to Ling Yi. “Oh right! You’re a Mage, so don’t go up and fight the boss in close combat.”

“Otherwise, I’ll be distracted.” Even though she said callously, her words clearly contained concern.

“… Okay.” Ling Yi nodded. However, he was thinking to himself that he would become a Warrior when he obtained some close-combat Skills, and when his strength and agility improved significantly.

Lin Ying looked at his expression seriously, then turned around and rushed to the Vampire Bat Lord.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She started to fight with the Boss.

There were still many players who were fighting the Vampire Bats around them. These people knew that they could not snatch the boss, so they no longer paid attention to the boss.

After all, killing normal monsters would give them a lot of exp. After Ling Yi and the others defeated the boss, they would also receive a lot of rewards anyway.

They would be content either way, so why fight?

“Xiao Bing,” Ling Yi summoned the Ice Queen and asked her to help Lin Ying. At the same time, he also commanded the wind to attack the smaller monsters.

Just by standing there, a series of God’s Path and System notifications appeared in front of him.

[You’ve killed Vampire Bat (level 62)! +23 EXP, +3 Night Stones]

[Double Gold Coins: +3 Night Stones]

[You’ve killed…]

[You have absorbed 72 points of excitement from Gao Liushui.]

[You have absorbed 66 points of Ma Dongyuan’s battle will.]

[…]

After a while, Ling Yi saw the Ice Queen take out her S-grade weapon, Zero Degree Ice Spike, and use [Shooting Star Toss] to freeze the Vampire Bat Lord into an ice sculpture. Ling Yi took the opportunity to activate the [Triple Seal].

When the red triangle passed through the boss’s body from the back, the Ice Queen also used many layers of ice to thicken the ice sculpture.

As long as the Zero Degree Spike pierced the enemy, it would continue to deal damage to the enemy.

Ling Yi had already sealed off the other party’s recovery, so all they had to do was wait.

Lin Ying retreated to Ling Yi’s side.

Her gaze moved back and forth from the Ice Queen and him. She couldn’t suppress the curiosity in her heart and asked Ling Yi in a small voice, “Is it okay for her to kill the boss?”

The ‘her’ she was talking about was obviously the Ice Queen.

“It’s fine. If she kills, I’ll kill.”

“Oh… That’s amazing.”

She marveled at the close connection between the two.

Just as she was about to cancel the fusion, she suddenly saw a golden-haired young man running towards the frozen Vampire Bat Lord.

“Kill-stealing?”

Looking at the thick layer of ice, Lin Ying shook her head and smiled.

She didn’t think that the young man could steal the boss from the woman in the blue dress.
