Chapter 252: Darklight City! An Adventurer’s Paradise
This grand feast finally came to a perfect end.
Although there was a fatal incident in the middle, it turned out to be more bark than bite.
The many prodigies who left the scene no longer dared to underestimate this non-specialist from the Dragon Kingdom.
Moreover...
Many prodigies even decided to quickly call their schools after returning to have the non-specialist's basic skills documented and transmitted, to understand his methods in advance and avoid being caught off guard.
Of course...
Some contestants who were very confident in their kiting skills thought it was fine as long as they didn't let this non-specialist get close.
The next morning.
Ling Zhan still woke up and trained with extreme regularity.
First, he completed the daily challenge tasks issued by the system.
Then, he engaged in high-intensity physical training.
Finally, he conducted regular combat skill training with the two divine beast girls, Yun Man and Chang Yue.
That's right.
Teaching.
With Ling Zhan's combat skill level, honed countless times in the system's illusionary space day and night, he was fully qualified to teach these two divine beast girls.
Without using skills and purely relying on combat techniques.
Even if Ling Zhan fought two against one, he could completely suppress and dominate these two divine beast girls from start to finish.
It is worth mentioning...
Meng Shuang, after absorbing the S+ grade Black Flame Holy Dragon spine, was still in the process of digesting and absorbing it.
When she fully absorbs this, her level and attributes will see a significant increase.
Comparing this to humans...
The level-up and attribute growth of divine beasts indeed seem much easier.
Divine beasts, even if a bit lazy, don't need to conquer secret realms; they just need to grow step by step to reach level 70 at adulthood.
During training.
Li Chaoge, residing in a luxurious villa nearby, along with the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, stood by the window on the sixth floor, overlooking the combat training below.
"This guy is not only terrifyingly strong but also possesses such high combat skills."
"What a monster..."
The bespectacled female assistant beside these two stunning beauties couldn't help but sigh softly after witnessing Ling Zhan's training with the two divine beast girls.
Li Chaoge's cold, beautiful eyes showed a hint of interest as she softly asked, "If I were to face him without using skills, what are my chances of winning?"
The female assistant adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and calmly analyzed, "Based on the intelligence I've observed, if you, President, face him, your chance of victory is about 27%..."
Then she looked at the voluptuous and charming Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, "If it's you, Nine-Tails, your chance of victory is about 30%."
"Hmm?"
"Why is my chance of winning lower than Nine-Tails?"
Li Chaoge, surprisingly, showed no competitiveness, only curiosity.
The female assistant bluntly said, "Because Nine-Tails has a divine beast body and can take more hits, while you, President, with your human body, would be hard-pressed to withstand a punch from him."
Li Chaoge: "..."
Nine-Tailed Sky Fox: "..."
The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox almost burst out laughing!
So, her chance of winning was higher than her master's only because her body was tougher and could take more hits!?
Although a bit dissatisfied internally, the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox had to admit...
The female assistant's analysis was indeed correct!
Even...
The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox felt her 30% chance of winning was too high!
If the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox hadn't experienced the terrifying punch of that non-specialist herself.
She would never have thought this way.
Sigh!
She really couldn't understand how such a monstrous existence had grown up!
......
After an hour of combat training.
Ling Zhan took a shower, changed clothes, and took the entry and exit pass and identity token given to each contestant by the Holy Light Empire.
He then left this extremely luxurious yet fantastical magic manor.
He didn't let Chang Yue and Yun Man follow him, mainly because these two divine beast girls were too eye-catching.
It was actually quite strange...
Why do beauties always attract so much attention, but handsome guys attract relatively less?
Maybe it's because people's standards for men's looks aren't that high.
As the saying goes: "A thick willow basket or a thin willow scoop, who in the world minds a man's ugliness?"
After leaving the magic manor, Ling Zhan directly used a giant teleportation array to go to a prosperous city in the south of the Holy Light Empire.
Darklight City.
This is a city second only to Bright City in prosperity.
Because no matter who you are, if you want to explore the dungeon secret realm, you must come to the Adventurers' Guild in Darklight City to get a free pass to the dungeon secret realm.
The Holy Light Empire has always placed great importance on this unique super-large real-world secret realm resource.
Therefore, the management system here is also very strict.
When Ling Zhan walked out of the teleportation point, he was immediately blocked at the exit by a group of people.
"Brother! Need a place to stay? Our tavern not only has good wine but also beauties!"
"Brother! Are you here to explore the dungeon secret realm? You can't do without a place to stay, come to my place! Free drinks! Beauties at your disposal!"
"Handsome guy! Need to buy weapons? I have ancestral blacksmithing skills, one cut for a small monster!"
"Brother, want to enter the hidden resource points of the dungeon secret realm? I have tickets! The Adventurers' Guild sells them for 500 Holy Light Crystals, but I only need 400!"
"..."
This group of middle-aged men and women saw the job changers coming out of the teleportation point, their eyes gleaming like hungry wolves seeing food, swarming towards them.
Various promotional phrases buzzed around their ears.
Ling Zhan keenly noticed that several contestants from other countries had already been pulled away by a pretty lady boss!
With Ling Zhan's excellent hearing, he could even hear the low whispers of those contestants to the lady boss!
"Boss lady, is it true that there are beauties in your tavern that we can touch as we please?"
"Of course it's true."
"Can we touch you too?"
"Ah! You're so naughty! I didn't expect you, such a young boy, to like an old auntie like me..."
"That's exactly what I like..."
Ling Zhan: "..."
When Ling Zhan squeezed out of this group of middle-aged promoters, he looked around.
He was stunned!
This...
Isn't this the fantasy adventure scene he had imagined in his previous life?
In this city, adventurers walked in groups of twos and threes, wearing light or heavy armor, chatting and laughing as they headed to the guild.
Many adventurers carried the spoils of war obtained from the dungeon secret realm, showing off while also feeling pleased with the rich rewards of their overnight battles.
The dazzling sunlight shone on the fantasy palace-style buildings of Darklight City.
Along with the songs and dances of bard dancers on the streets, the cries of vendors, and the laughter of children chasing and playing.
It was like a paradise city exclusively for adventurers...
