Chapter 211: Chapter 63 Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow Divine Skill Achieved_3

As he pondered, he passed through the mist at the edge and returned to the White Ape’s side. These past few days, the White Ape had been waiting for him here, also studying the effects of the Phantom Spirit Pearl. Each time he emerged, he saw a different form.

This time, the White Ape had changed its appearance again, possessing a muscular and dominant build with a beard and hair all white, beard bristling, eyes fierce as thunder, a sharp set of facial features, and snow-white hair draped down his back... Coupled with a coarse and worn knight robe, he bore the semblance of a reclusive old Saber Saint.

"Second brother, how did it go, did you succeed?"

"Big Brother, I’ve achieved great mastery in my divine skills!"

"Very good, very good, then we can finally leave this accursed place—how do you like my new look? It’s much better than that old hermit before."

"Not bad, not bad, it’s quite imposing. But hey, shouldn’t you give yourself a name now?"

"Hmm, you have a point—call me Yuan Bai from now on."

The White Ape’s display name suddenly changed again.

Yuan Bai (Saber Saint): Level 46 Worldly Expert, Life Value 3600.

Not bad, not bad, that completely eliminates any flaws.

The two men walked down the mountain path to a cliff’s edge and, with a laugh, Yuan Bai leapt down.

Xiao Jie popped a Shun Qi Powder to fully restore his Inner Strength and also leapt off the mountain cliff.

Plunging through layers of clouds in a straight descent, as he neared the ground, Xiao Jie suddenly activated [Yan Hang], spreading his arms wide, and gently floated to the ground like a large bird...

What took half a day to ascend took only minutes to descend.

Surveying the familiar scenery of Monkey Valley, he felt as if he had been reborn.

Although he had only trained in Saber Skill for three to four days, in reality, Xiao Jie had spent a full five days at the mountaintop. Naturally, no one can go three to four days without sleep; every day spent in Wangliu River meant he needed to come out and sleep for a few hours.

Xiao Jie wondered what had happened during those five days outside.

He first contacted I Want to Be Immortal.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Cheng Xian, how are you doing at Xuanxu Palace?

I Want to Be Immortal: Feng, sob, sob, you finally remembered me. I’m doing alright; besides working every day, I’ve recently started learning Taoist Scripture from the Taoists, but I haven’t comprehended Daoism Introduction yet; it seems I must master it to have casting abilities, and this study even requires reading books and doing homework. There are tests, too. I find myself studying books daily and seeking help online, never repeating the same material, I never worked this hard even in college.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: That’s good, keep it up, and once you grasp the Daoism Introduction, it’ll get easier.

Xiao Jie didn’t mention the World Association because it wouldn’t help but might make him anxious; he felt he should be able to handle it himself.

Then, he contacted Xia Yi the Unrivaled.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Xia, how are you doing? Still alive?

Xia Yi the Unrivaled: Hahahaha, can’t you say something nicer? I’m fine, I’ve already cleared my name.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: The Dragon Soaring Knights haven’t troubled you again?

Xia Yi the Unrivaled: I considered what you said last time, and it made sense. Those jerks bothering me definitely wasn’t for no reason, probably just as you said, to establish some moot order. I talked it out with their leader, agreed not to cause trouble in the towns under the Dragon Soaring Knights’ control, and they won’t bother me anymore.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Didn’t they try to recruit you?

Xia Yi the Unrivaled: They did, yeah, but I’m not one to obey others, and after all, we had conflicts before, I can’t trust them. Probably even Long Xingtianxia knows that, hence he just warned me a bit and didn’t say much else.

I don’t bother with them, after all, a wise man doesn’t court danger, right now, I’m in Ghost Mist Ridge hunting zombies.

By the way, the World Association has moved to Xiaofeng City, so be careful. These trash won’t dare to mess with me, but they’ll definitely be a problem for you.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Are they still in Xiaofeng City?

Xia Yi the Unrivaled: Yes, a friend of mine saw them there just yesterday.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Then that’s fine, don’t worry Xia, I’ll handle it.

After closing the private message with Xia Yi the Unrivaled, the third person Xiao Jie contacted was Cloud Guest.

Having mastered his divine skills, it was time to settle his account with the World Association all at once.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Cloud Guest, do you still remember me?

Cloud Guest: Damn, you dare to contact me? Don’t think you’re safe just because you’re hiding. I’ll find you and kill you sooner or later. Don’t think a high-level player can protect you forever. Xia Yi the Unrivaled has already left, and no one can save you next time.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Heh, I should be the one saying that... Next time I encounter you, you’re dead. Since we both want each other dead, how about this? Tomorrow at noon, Xiafeng City Square, be there or be square. Let’s have a life and death duel to decide once and for all—who lives and who dies. How about that?

The game features a life and death duel mode where both parties sign a death contract and then duel within a specified area.

In life and death duel mode, killing is not a crime.

Moreover, the defeated party will drop a dueling loot item, typically the most valuable one they are carrying. The system will add an item description—loot obtained after killing/defeating XXX.

If one party flees from the duel, the spoils will also be claimed by the victor, and the one who fled will lose a significant amount of reputation value.

The design of this life and death duel is full of ceremonial sense, but generally speaking, such duels rarely occur.

After all, everyone plays the game to gain advantages, not to gamble with their lives. If the players are evenly matched, usually they won’t start fighting lightly—after all, winning just means gaining an item, but losing could mean death.

If there is a big gap in strength between the players, the weaker party would be even less likely to accept the invitation to a life and death duel.

Instead, surprise attacks and killings in the wilderness are more common.

Even the street battle between Xia Yi the Unrivaled and Mandingo didn’t involve a life and death duel; it was just direct action.

At this moment, hearing that Xiao Jie wanted to engage in a life and death duel, Cloud Guest was somewhat stunned.

He thought to himself that he was already Level 21 while the other was just Level 13. Even if the latter had gained a few levels in the past few days, he couldn’t have reached Level 20.

Every ten levels represent a rank in this game, and he was at least one rank higher than his opponent. It was a guaranteed win.

Cloud Guest: You want to duel me?

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Yes, what—afraid?

Cloud Guest: Humph, then bring it on. Tomorrow at noon. Be there or be square. Whoever doesn’t show up is a cowardly bastard!

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Then it’s settled.

Cloud Guest turned off the private message and suddenly looked beside him.

"Boss, that kid contacted me."

At this moment, standing beside him was none other than Xiong Batian, surrounded by over a dozen members of the World Association, all above Level 20.

For those big guilds, being over Level 20 was just ordinary, but for the World Association, these were the main forces.

"Oh, what did he say?"

"He said he wants to duel with me, tomorrow noon at Xiafeng City Square."

"Damn, are you an idiot to believe that? Wasn’t that kid just Level 13 the last time? He dares to duel someone at Level 20? He’s clearly trying to fool you, making you foolishly wait while he probably runs away with this opportunity."

Cloud Guest’s face turned red with the scolding, luckily hidden behind a screen unseen by others.

Yet, he was somewhat defiant: "That can’t be, we both agreed. Whoever doesn’t show up is a cowardly bastard... "

Xiong Ba looked incredulous, "Are you freaking stupid? What’s the use of cursing online? Do you think he’d care about his life for that? Idiot, idiot, I’m surrounded by idiots. You know how hard it is for me to be the leader here."

After a burst of angry curses, Cloud Guest began to doubt himself too. Damn, was he really being played?

Xiong Ba, after ranting, sighed and said, "Here’s what you’ll do, make a big deal out of this duel. Let everyone know about your duel tomorrow. That way, if he doesn’t show up, we still have an explanation, at least letting everyone know that kid was afraid of us."

Otherwise, the news of your group being randomly killed by just two people, which has been spreading, is too damn embarrassing."

Since we have been unable to find him for so many days, he’s probably already run away. Let’s just use this duel to close the Chapter."
