Chapter 10: First again


    <em>Hong!</em>


    A blood-colored pir covered the sky above Two Balls head. His gaze froze and he asked, "It actually is me?"


    On the Wind Cloud tform, the Undead Corpse pointed with his warhammer and said coldly, "The pride of the lion race; its your turn. Come! I shall let you feel what true power is!"


    "Arrogant!" shouted Two Balls in rage as he jumped up. He opened his arms and his sharp ws were enveloped in deathws. The cold light made one''s heart feel icy-cold. His body sank and he pounced on him like a wild beast. His ws gave off energy mes as they shed.


    The Undead Corpse hollered and waved his warhammer.


    <em>Peng~</em>


    There was a loud explosion. The two were on the same level, but Two Balls seemed quicker. He turned into an afterimage as he constantlyunched attacks. In the blink of an eye, the Undead Corpse was put at a disadvantage and could only get beaten up. After a series of attacks, his healthbar was wiped out.


    I was stunned; Two Balls had grown a lot!


    "Scoff... Purgatory Lion?"


    Long Yn''s horns started glowing, then it was filled with a really pure and saintly energy. "Your power and speed are decent, but unfortunately... an animal is still an animal.No matter how much you cultivate, you are just a beast. Compared to the true dragon race, those being close to gods, we aren''t on the same level."


    On the Wind Cloud tform, Two Balls face looked cold. "Long Yn what nonsense are you saying? Wasnt your dragon race a bunch of animals when the world was just created? We are all beast cultivators, so what gives you the right to look down on the lion race?"


    "<em>Scoff!</em>"


    Long Yn spread his palm and a swordnded in it. He jumped up, his face full of disdain. "I will tell you the gap between Purgatory Lions and Half Dragons. Prepare to fail!"


    "Youre asking for death!" hollered the Purgatory Lion in rage, then he pounced on his opponent.


    <em>Deng deng deng...</em>


    Long Yn knew that the Purgatory Lion''s attacks were strong, so he took a few steps back. He grabbed his sword and the sound of dragons roaring surged around him. He raised his sword and an illusion of a dragon w wrapped around its de. He then shed at Two Balls!


    Great Dragon Sword Technique, Sweep!


    The moment he shed, fiverge golden words appeared on the battlefield. This was actually an S-tier technique, which could trigger the system''s words! This sword was really strong, and with a resounding <em>ng</em>, the sword and Two Balls ws collided, giving out the sound of metal shing against metal. This sword actually forced Two Balls back!


    "A beast actually dared to face a dragon?!" taunted Long Yn. His sword turned into a streak of light, which stabbed the Purgatory Lion''s stomach. At the same time, fiverge golden words appeared once more


    Great Dragon Sword Technique, Stab!


    "I will fight you to the death!"


    The Purgatory Lion did a whirlwind motion with his ws and flew outward, but despite the sharp strike hitting Long Yn''s sword, he was still forced back. After a loud <em>thud</em>, his Health dropped by over 2000. He stumbled back and his body knocked onto the blue barrier of the Wind Cloud tform.


    "Scram!"


    Long Yn shouted and waved his sword once more. The sword energy turned into a storm, which tossed the lion out of the Wind Cloud tform.


    <em>Peng!</em>


    Purgatory Lion smashed onto the ground and all his face was lost.


    I could not help but suck in a deep breath. I looked at Long Yn and felt that he was not someone who was easy to deal with!


    "Its your time!"


    Long Yn pointed his sword at me and said proudly, "July Wildfire, you got first by luck previously. This time, you are handing this honor over!"


    "July Wildfire!"Purgatory Lion jumped up and his eyes were filled with rage. "Long Yn has a noble bloodline; you... must defeat him and fight for yourself!"


    I nodded. "Don''t worry, Two Balls; I will take revenge for you!"


    "Don''t call me that!"


    His face was covered in ck lines.


    In the next second, a pir of light covered me and teleported me to the Wind Cloud tform. At that moment, Long Yn''s detailed stats appeared in front of my eyes.


    Half Dragon - Long Yn (Elite Boss)


    Level: 12


    Attack: 580-720


    Defense: 300


    Health: 12000


    Skills: Great Dragon Sword Technique, Wind of Death


    Introduction: Long Yn, a Half Dragon, is able to control dragon energy and deathws. He is really famous in the younger generation of ck Castle and is the personal disciple of Reincarnation Valley Manager Zhuang Huai Shui.


    "Hu..."


    Looking at his stats, I could not help but take a cold breath. His Attack and Defense were far above mine, with only his Health being slightly lower. He also knew of the S-tier Great Dragon Sword Technique. In Illusionary Moon, it should be a top skill move. There was also a Wind of Death; who knew how strong was that?


    On the other side, I had an advantage which was quite obvious. As expected, after learning Stealth, Gouge, and Backstab, these three skills remained usable. Apart from that, I had Hunter''s Edge, White Cloak, and Blood Drawing de now. I possessed six skills, while he could only use two.


    Prepare to fight; wipe him out!


    Protect the honor of this duel arena. I was the disciple of Wind Cloud tform''s guardian. If Long Yn snatched it away, would mymaster not lose face?


    "Can we begin?" Long Yn smiled coldly.


    I nodded. In an instant, my body sank down and I disappeared.


    "<em>Scoff!</em>What pathetic tricks. So embarrassing!"


    Long Yn''s left hand was like a dragon w, which pressed onto the ground. He looked like a dragon hunting for its prey as dragon energy surged around him and merged with the deathws. A huge storm broke out on the Wind Cloud tform; this was Wind of Death!


    The strong winds swept me and actually caused continuous damage!


    500!


    500!


    500!


    I incurred 500 damage each second. More importantly, the skill had a wide range, which effectively covered the entire duel arena. My Stealth was directly broken.


    "Hahaha!You aren''t invisible anymore. Prepare to die!"


    He hollered and charged at me. His sword turned into a golden streak of light and he activated Great Dragon Sword Technique right away.


    <em>Si...</em>


    The sword energy had not even arrived yet, but the shirt on my chest was stabbed and my ribs were broken. His sword energy dealt damage in advance and 3167 appeared on my head. So strong. It also proved that my defense was far from Purgatory Lion. After all, I was an Assassin and my survival skills were far from his.


    "So weak.Prepare to die!"


    Long Yn''s eyes did not hide his desire and craze about winning.


    I saw through everything. Right when he stabbed my chest, I flicked the dagger and used Gouge!


    <em>Pu!</em>


    1762!


    My damage was not low, either; after all, I maxed out my Agility, so my damage would definitely be sufficient. When Gouge waspleted, I jumped and appeared behind him. I swung the Water Pattern Dagger and used a basic attack and Backstab together. Instantly, there were two stabbing sounds and two damage notifications appeared!


    1401!


    2678!


    Good fellow, the damage of the dagger seemed really high! Green equipment was just so amazing. So strong!


    "Youre asking for death!"


    Long Yn turned around, his embarrassment transforming into rage. His long sword shed like lightning, which could not be blocked at all. This time, it actually dealt 5000 damage. How terrifying!


    "July Wildfire, be careful!"


    Beneath Wind Cloud tform, the Purgatory Lion shouted. It seemed like he was even more nervous than me.


    "Youve got no chance!"


    Long Yn closed in on me.His face was full of smiles as if he had already won. His long sword shed, bringing with it a streak of sharp sword energy!


    Right at that moment, my body shook and I activated White Cloak. The broken clock turned white and I disappeared in the wind. I forcefully went into stealth during battle!


    "You!"


    Long Yn shed the air and his smile froze.


    I obviously would not give him a chance to hit back. I arrived at his back like the wind and took a deep breath. I waved the Water Pattern Dagger and used Backstab to stab down fiercely. Instantly, the White Cloak icon shone again; this was the buff from the skill!


    White Cloak, after activation, first attack towarda target would deal 200% true damage. Level 1 Backstab was 150% damage itself, so the two put together dealt 300% true damage!


    <em>Peng!</em>


    8426!


    One shot! Just one Backstab and I cleared out Long Yn''s remaining health. All of a sudden, his face was filled with disbelief, and he knelt onthe ground. His body was then swept up by the wind, and he left the Wind Cloud tform like that.


    "Oh, my God..."


    Beneath the duel arena, the Purgatory Lion, who had not been sent away, looked stunned. "How strong, July Wildfire!You... What kind of monster are you?"


    I did not say a word, but deep down I felt delighted. I was just too strong!


    "Purgatory Lion, aren''t you heading down?"


    In the wind, Master Ding Heng''s image appeared. He waved and a death wind carried Two Balls body out of the Wind Cloud tform. Shortly after, my master looked down at me with a merciful smile. "Kid, you really didn''t disappoint me. Well done!Prepare to be summoned. Its time for you to prove the strength of the undead race!"


    "Yes, master!"


    I nodded.


    In the next moment, a bright light descended from above and covered my head. It was here again; my moment of glory was here!
