Chapter 328
Haltharad soaked its body in the spiritual lava in the volcano, its mind was a mess . It could not remember how long had it been the overlord in this world . . . It had been years . There was almost nobody that could take it on in this world ever since it leveled to gold flame-level . Gold flame-level was the highest level that this world could accommodate . As a double mutated sky dragon, its ability made it the best in this little world . If the stupid Shadowflame Boa did not listen to what the cunning Golden Toad said and fought it, it would have been the ruler of this world .
It did not expect there to be anyone that was the same as itself, a gold flame-level that was even more powerful to exist in this world . As a double mutated dragonkin sky dragon, it was confident that even if it encountered a triple mutated monster that was the same level, it would win as well . However, Haltharad had a taste of failure today . It was its first time it tasted defeat ever since it achieved gold flame-level . Its opponent was a human that was similar in level to itself but it could not even handle a single hit from this human .
The human girl who looked rather young with a petite body was as powerful as a god, making it difficult for anyone to find it in themselves to fight her . Its body was shaking as it recalled the moment when it was almost killed by her, it was a reflection that came from fear . However, fear was not the only thing, hatred burned inside it as well .
"That damned human girl forced me to shed my carapace . Now, my combat strength had dropped two levels and I have to hide in this freaking place!" Haltharad said to itself . It did not dare to say it too loud as it was afraid that others would find out about the humiliation it felt .
The temporary degradation to its power was the side-effect of its shedding Life Skill, it would last for 72 hours . Not only that, its body would be weak for three days, even its defensive ability would drop two levels . Many of its skills and Life Skills that required Life Power would be deactivated . It was afraid that it might be attacked by blue flame-level monsters, that was why it was hiding .
"Two days more…" Haltharad stared deadly in the air .
"If I can’t fight you, I’ll kill you with a monster crowd! Not only you, all humans will have to pay the price!"
…
"Where is the black dragon hiding?" Lin Huang asked immediately when he heard about the black dragon from Bloody .
"It’s hiding in a spiritual volcano, it’s very weak right now . I think it’s badly injured, its aura had dropped to the that of a blue flame-level monster . " Bloody told its observation .
"A blue flame-level monster…" Lin Huang was tempted . He knew very well that it was the side-effect of shedding its carapace but it would only last for three days and its combat strength would go back to normal . By then, it would be impossible to kill such a monster .
"One day has passed out of its three days of weakness . I need to find it within these two days or else I’ll lose the opportunity . " Lin Huang squinted, he was thinking if he should look for the black dragon . Even though its power had dropped by two levels, the ability of the Molten Dragon was not to be underestimated . Lin Huang’s concern was not its ability but more of what he would get if he was to kill the black dragon .
"Xiao Hei, what kind of rewards will I get if I manage to achieve a double cross-ranking kill?" Lin Huang asked .
"Normal cross-ranking kill - Random Reward Card x1!"
"Double cross-ranking kill - Draw Reward Card x1!"
"Triple cross-ranking kill - Draw Reward Card x3!"
"Quadruple cross-ranking kill - Draw Reward Card x5!"
"Quintuple cross-ranking kill - Draw Reward Card x10!"
"So if I kill the black dragon that had dropped two levels, would that be considered as a triple or a quintuple cross-ranking kill?" Lin Huang asked .
"The Molten Dragon’s level drop is just temporary and its real combat strength is still gold flame-level . If you manage to kill it, it’ll be considered a quintuple cross-ranking kill and you’ll receive a draw of 10 Reward Cards . "
Lin Huang was over the moon when he heard Xiao Hei’s reply .
"I should be able to use a Double Reward Card, right?" Lin Huang asked again .
"Yes, a Double Reward Card can be used on all cross-ranking kill . "
"That means, if I manage to kill it, I’ll get to draw 20 cards!" Lin Huang could not resist such a temptation .
"I must do this!"
The Molten Dragon that was hiding in the volcano far away had no idea that it had become the ultimate boss for Lin Huang . Lin Huang was even thinking if he should get Mr . Fu to get him a gold flame-level monster with the Life Skill ability to shed its carapace after the training ended so that he could get the quintuple cross-ranking reward .
Xiao Hei noticed what he was thinking .
"The objective of the reward from system is to encourage you to strengthen yourself . Such behaviour of trying to cheat the reward system is not encouraged . As soon as humans find shortcuts, they’ll always look for more shortcuts . This is the evil side of humans . With the time spent looking for shortcuts, some people have already arrived at the destination with their own strength . I hope that you don’t become one of those people who are always looking for shortcuts . Things that you achieve through hard work are the most valuable ones . "
"It’s just a thought, why must you give me a life lesson…" Lin Huang smiled awkwardly after hearing what Xiao Hei said but soon he fell into a deep thought . He had seen many people who were always looking for shortcuts when he was on earth instead of doing what they should do . This was similar to what he saw in gamblers who lived in the casinos . They wanted to get rich by gambling but what usually happens is that they would go bankrupt and even get their family members killed .
Lin Huang thought if those gamblers put the passion they had for gambling into their career, even if they did not become a millionaire, they would still definitely make enough to feed their family . Shortcuts were acceptable occasionally but if one wanted to use shortcuts in everything, that would be no different from gambling . The consequences might get ugly .
"Lin Huang, what are you thinking about?" Yi Yeyu waved her hand in his face .
"Nothing . " Lin Huang snapped out of his thoughts and realized that Yi Yeyu had ended her conversation with Luo Li . Luo Li had returned to be with the two examiners . Aside from the 50-odd participants who decided to not proceed with the training, the rest had left . In reality, among the 90-odd people who voted to end the assessment, only slightly more than 50 of them stayed . Lin Huang looked at the remaining people and realized that most of them had leveled up to gold flame-level . It was unnecessary for them to stay as they had achieved what they wanted to from the ruins .
"Let’s go . " Lin Huang waved to the both of them, he did not want the three of them to be misunderstood as giving up the training .
