Jia Ke Si has issued a challenge to Song Jian, who without any second thoughts, readily accepted it.

“I’m willing to accept your challenge!” Song Jian immediately exclaimed.

System: Battle profession teacher Jia Ke Si has issued a challenge to you: Arena Battle; Task requirement: Defeat weapon master Jia Ke Si in the arena and gain his acknowledgement; Task reward: Gain Jia Ke Si’s trust and he will share information about the profession “Weapon Master”; Task penalty: Your favorability level with battle profession teacher Jia Ke Si will drop to indifference.

“Brother Song, what’s this … ?” asked Gao Da Nian, his brows slightly furrowed with confusion. Didn’t these two consider themselves opponents? How have they ended up in conversation?

“Brother Song, have you been given a hidden quest?” Lin Sheng asked, with an expression of surprise on his face.

“Hehe, it’s not exactly a hidden quest, it’s my main quest this time!” Song Jian laughed.

“Main quest? Isn’t the main task to build a safe house?” Lin Sheng asked in confusion.

Gao Da Nian suddenly grew excited, energetically clapping Lin Sheng’s shoulder and saying, “Song Brother has already successfully built a safe house!”

“What, you’ve already done it?” Lin Sheng hastily crowded Song Jian and pressed on, “Brother Song, you are like my big brother, share with me the secret behind successfully building a safe house!”

“Yeah, Brother Song, please share with us some of your experiences,” Gao Da Nian said with an expectant expression.

“After we clear the copy, come to my safe house as guests and I’ll explain everything,” Song Jian said with a smile.

“That’s great!”

Just then, a white light suddenly shot out from the three of them and Jia Ke Si. With a flash of light, all four appeared in the arena.

“Oh, forgot to tell you guys, during a weapons battle, only melee weapons can be used, ranged weapons cannot,” the guide said in their ears, while standing under the arena with a sneaky smile on his face.

“Darn it, you …” Lin Sheng was instantly alarmed.

“Lin Sheng, calm down!” Gao Da Nian held Lin Sheng back.

“No problem, Lin Sheng, only melee, then only melee.” Song Jian looked grim. His rocket launcher had been rendered useless, and couldn’t be used.

“My hand crossbow was also prohibited!” Gao Da Nian said grumpily. He had a ranged attack weapon of white-quality, which didn’t do much damage, often only acting as bait for monsters, but now he found he couldn’t even move it.

“Go ahead!” Jia Ke Si, waving a bronze lamp post in his hand, said to the three.

Lin Sheng immediately entered stealth mode, Gao Da Nian charged at Jia Ke Si with his enormous wrench, and Song Jian, clutching a dagger, activated his special skill: a crimson crosshair began scanning Jia Ke Si.

Two seconds later, the crosshair disappeared, and Song Jian’s heart sank; he hadn’t discovered any of Jia Ke Si’s weak points.

Earth Teeth Assault!

With no other choice, Song Jian initiated his Earth Teeth Assault, forming a tusk-shaped energy mass which whooshed through the air towards Jia Ke Si. “Challenge!” Jia Ke Si roared, leaping a good three to four meters into the air and flinging himself at Gao Da Nian.

At the peak of his jump, a tusk-shaped energy mass flashed beneath his feet.

Thump-

A loud collision sound echoed as Jia Ke Si’s bronze lamp post collided heavily with Gao Da Nian’s wrench, dealing over sixty points of damage, as indicated by the number floating above Gao Da Nian’s head.

“This guy isn’t weak!” Gao Da Nian swung his wrench, blocking Jia Ke Si’s weapon and aiming a heavy blow at him.

“Damn, he dodged it!” Lin Sheng, who was in stealth mode, was stupefied. How could the bulky Jia Ke Si be so agile, jumping three to four meters high?

“Dodge it? Not so easy, unless he can truly fly!” Smirking, Lin Sheng clutched his Tusk Fang Stinger and lunged at Jia Ke Si.

Shhh-

The sound of energy cutting through the air suddenly grew louder. The tusk-shaped energy mass at the edge of the arena miraculously turned around and headed towards Jia Ke Si’s back.

The Earth Teeth Assault skill could only attack targets standing on the ground, but it had a benefit: it could lock onto the target, tracking them no matter how they tried to dodge.

However, when the target launched into the air, the Earth Teeth Assault skill wouldn’t disappear immediately, but after the target had been in the air for three seconds. If the target merely jumped, they couldn’t evade it.

Jia Ke Si’s previous skill had allowed him to jump high but did not enable him to hover in the air, so the Earth Teeth Assault skill had been firmly locked onto him.

As Jia Ke Si battled with Gao Da Nian, the sharp sound of the energy mass grew nearer from behind.

Just as Jia Ke Si prepared to evade, Gao Da Nian grinned slyly and swung his wrench towards him. A white light flashed and the wrench teeth opened wide, firmly gripping Jia Ke Si’s weapon.

“Restraining Strike, it can hold the opponent’s weapon for three seconds, interrupting the release of the opponent’s skills, and has a certain chance to damage the opponent’s weapon!”

Jia Ke Si’s movements came to a halt, and he couldn’t activate any skills.

Boom-

The tusk-shaped energy mass slammed into Jia Ke Si’s back. Just then, Lin Sheng appeared behind Jia Ke Si, his dagger lashing out like a poisonous snake towards his back.

Backstab! Dealing 150% + 15 weapon damage!

As damage was taken, a golden light appeared above Jia Ke Si’s head. This was the unique chain skill point of the rogue profession. If five were accumulated, then the ultimate skill could be released, causing a large amount of damage.

Unfortunately, Lin Sheng did not yet possess a skill book for the rogue’s finisher.

Within the first few moments of engagement, Jia Ke Si’s vitality points had already been depleted by over a hundred, but Jia Ke Si did not waver at all. As he had a mask on, his expression couldn’t be discerned. Song Jian was also flourishing his dagger, leaving a deep cut on Jia Ke Si’s arm, the blood splattering.

Once the three-second period was up, a strong wind began swirling around Jia Ke Si, and all the damage inflicted on him turned into zeroes.

“Invincible defense?” A surprised look appeared on Song Jian’s face as he swiftly backed away.

“How can there be such an outrageous skill!” Seeing a string of MISS popping up above Jia Ke Si’s head, Lin Sheng also swiftly dodged to the side.

“Now, it’s my turn!” No sooner had Jia Ke Si’s deep voice died down than his bronze lamp post smashed heavily into Song Jian. Instantly, an over eighty-point critical damage floated above Song Jian’s head; concurrently, a dizzy symbol appeared above Song Jian’s head, he was left immobilized, unable to move.

“Brother Song, watch out!” Lin Sheng’s face changed, and he hastily lunged at Jia Ke Si.

Gao Da Nian was hesitant for a moment. He only had about sixty percent of his vitality points left. If the earlier strike had hit him, he would have been on the brink of death.

But eventually, gritting his teeth, Gao Da Nian swung his wrench and slammed it hard on Jia Ke Si’s head.
