123: We have One Punch Man on our team, no kidding!
The various Guilds and Hunters were increasingly shocked. "What's wrong?" Xu Yihan asked. "Is that even a question? Our top student little brother must have done something big again," Luo Yi said with a chuckle, holding the back of her head.
Ji Feiyue walked over, and Jiang Yuan briefly explained the situation.
Xu Yihan glanced at the fiery woman and the others with a look of disgust.
"Oh? Is that so..." Ji Feiyue glanced at the fiery woman meaningfully. "You dare to openly poach my people. It seems I need to have a good talk with your Guild Leader Su. I hope she can give me a satisfactory explanation."
The fiery woman swallowed, unable to help but take a step back, "I, I didn't know he was from your Guild..."
The woman in front of her was incredibly mysterious. Although she was only Fifth-Order, even their own Seventh-Order Rose Guild Leader was wary of her, let alone herself, who didn't dare provoke her.
Ji Feiyue smiled slightly, "Now you know." "Why aren't you leaving quickly?"
The fiery woman and her members left in embarrassment.
Liu Liu also returned to Zi Yin's side dejectedly, looking at the backs of Jiang Yuan's group, who were chatting and laughing as they walked towards the Abyss entrance, and said with some lingering fear, "It's a good thing I didn't go to hit on him, otherwise I would have been the unlucky one."
"I didn't expect him to be Jiang Yuan, and from the Scarlet Rose."
Zi Yin: "You've learned your lesson now, right? Let's see if you dare to casually hit on handsome guys next time you meet one."
"Never again, absolutely never again. But you said he really awakened Martial Dao Pressure? He's only Second-Order, is there really such a monstrous Genius in the world?!"
Just as Zi Yin was about to say something, someone suddenly forwarded her a message. After opening it and taking a look.
Her eyes widened slightly, her small mouth parted, and a look of extreme horror appeared on her usually calm face. Then she suddenly looked up towards the Abyss entrance.
The figure of the black-clothed young man just happened to disappear into the entrance.
"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. What could be so shocking?" Liu Liu asked.
Zi Yin took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said in a deep voice, "The Guild Leader just forwarded me a message. Not many people know about it yet."
"What news?" Liu Liu asked curiously.
"Last night, someone challenged the Martial Artists Tower, defeated the legendary Nameless King, and became the new number one in history. That person is named Jiang Yuan."
Liu Liu was stunned.
............Fourth Level Abyss, Howling Jungle.
Jiang Yuan's group's figures appeared.
Entering the Abyss again after nearly a month.
Jiang Yuan felt an inexplicable excitement, while the others were clearly already used to it.
"Last time we only explored the central area. This time, we'll try to go deeper," Ji Feiyue said. "Rena will be responsible for scouting, and Shi Tou will be at the front blocking any potential Abyssal Beast attacks."
"Leave it to us," Rena said with a smile, her figure turning into a shadow and disappearing.
The taciturn Shi Tou wore heavy armor that completely covered him, held a large shield, and walked at the front of the team.
"Here, you probably didn't prepare any, right?" Xu Yihan handed several bottles of antidote to Jiang Yuan, seeing his slight confusion.
She explained, "This Abyss is filled with various poisonous gases and mists. These antidotes can remove poisoning effects."
Jiang Yuan showed a look of understanding and reached out to take them.
His Kindling Power could purify poison debuffs, and his Immortal Divine Body had maximum resistance. Ordinary poisons were completely useless against him.
But since it was his Senior Sister's kind intention, it was hard to refuse.
"Be careful, two ferocious beasts are attacking from this direction," Ji Feiyue said with her eyes closed, her red hair dancing without wind, clearly using some kind of scouting skill.
"What level?" Xu Yihan's expression was solemn as she entered combat stance, holding an alloy spear. Coupled with her silver-white light armor, she had the imposing bearing of a female war god.
"Both are Fourth-Order. Shi Tou will handle the impact. Luo Yi, Lan Xue, get ready."
"Alright!" Luo Yi clenched her fists, her smile excited.
Lan Xue also raised the staff in her hand and began chanting.
Jiang Yuan, participating in a team activity for the first time, felt it was somewhat novel and asked Ji Feiyue, "What should I do?"
"Wait for my command. Here they come!" The moment Ji Feiyue's words fell.
The ground shook and broke, and two giant earthworms with terrifying appearances, as thick as carriages, appeared before them, their mouthparts gruesome and frightening.
[Abyssal Beast]: Bloodthirsty Sandworm. [Grade]: Normal. [Level]: LV35. [Skills]: Burrow, Earth Spike, Corrosive Venom, Regeneration. [Evaluation]: Dangerous ferocious beasts that live in groups. Their soft yet tough bodies can withstand most impact attacks. Cutting them apart will also cause them to regenerate into more.
"Bang!" Shi Tou raised his shield to block the head-on charge of a Bloodthirsty Sandworm, sliding back more than ten meters.
The other Bloodthirsty Sandworm raised its head high, just as it was about to crush Ji Feiyue and the others.
A red light flashed on Shi Tou's shield, a necessary skill for large shields. "Taunt!"
Instantly attracting aggro.
"Blessing of the War God." Ji Feiyue released a skill, and an intricately patterned magic circle lit up beneath her feet.
First, a white shield appeared on everyone, followed by red and green lights on several people. The two buffs increased attack and movement speed respectively.
Ordinary support classes could at most apply one buff simultaneously, but she applied three at once, and their intensity was very high.
"As expected of a legendary support class," Jiang Yuan thought to himself, wondering what her talent was.
Ji Feiyue's talent was quite mysteriously hidden. It was said that even Xu Yihan and the others had never seen it.
"Watch me!" Luo Yi shouted, leaping high into the air and landing beside one of the Bloodthirsty Sandworms. Her right fist, equipped with knuckle dusters, punched out fiercely.
"Tiger Style!" She threw dozens of punches in an instant.
"Bang!" The air wave exploded, and the Bloodthirsty Sandworm's massive body was knocked askew, falling to the side.
Xu Yihan, meanwhile, stepped forward, turning into a straight line of silver-white light that tore through the air.
Sky-Splitting Spear, First Style, Hundred Birds!
"Swish swish swish swish swish—!" Innumerable spear shadows, each several meters long, tore open gashes on the Bloodthirsty Sandworm's massive body.
The moment earth spikes appeared from the ground, she leaped high into the air, swung her alloy spear in a full circle, and smashed it down fiercely, arcs of electricity flashing!
Spell-Breaking Lancer Skill—Falling Thunder!
Both of them were Third-Order, but with Ji Feiyue's buffs, they temporarily possessed the explosive power of Fourth-Order.
The health bars above the two Bloodthirsty Sandworms were reduced, but only slightly.
Level 4 Ferocious Beasts start with over two hundred thousand health.
"...Roar of Water." Lan Xue finished chanting, and three magic circles appeared above the ferocious beasts' heads. Surging water like a waterfall crashed down, with overwhelming momentum.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!" The health bars above the two Bloodthirsty Sandworms decreased by another section, leaving only two-thirds, and they were also enraged.
Their bodies writhed, and the ground shook violently.
"Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!" Giant earth spikes burst from the ground, forcing the few people to scatter. Shi Tou's tall figure was submerged by large rocks.
One of the Bloodthirsty Sandworms opened its large mouth and sprayed purple-green corrosive venom. Ji Feiyue tore open a defense scroll, which turned into a barrier blocking all the venom.
The next second.
Innumerous forked blood tongues extended from its mouth, quickly stabbing towards Ji Feiyue and Lan Xue.
Meanwhile, Xu Yihan and Luo Yi were being held back by the other Bloodthirsty Sandworm.
"It's your turn to attack," Ji Feiyue said with a smile, looking towards Jiang Yuan. Her expression was calm, showing no sign of helplessness despite being in danger.
Perhaps this was also within her expectations.
Jiang Yuan didn't think too much and didn't choose to protect Ji Feiyue and Lan Xue.
Instead, his figure flashed, appearing in front of that Bloodthirsty Sandworm.
He punched out!
"Boom—!" A muffled thunder exploded, the air boomed, and golden fist light annihilated the Bloodthirsty Sandworm's body with crushing force.
When the dust settled.
Only a small portion of the Bloodthirsty Sandworm's remaining body was left in place.
[Ding! Team killed Bloodthirsty Sandworm (LV35), you gained Experience +2393]
Lan Xue: "(⊙_⊙;)!!!"
Jiang Yuan then turned his head to look at the other Bloodthirsty Sandworm, a black light flashing in his golden eyes.
Eye of Fear + Mental Spike!
The Bloodthirsty Sandworm's Soul was shattered in an instant like porcelain!
[-178482] Blue mental critical hit damage flashed above its head.
A little bit of health remained.
Jiang Yuan sent out a punch. The golden fist light solidified, instantly piercing through it like a cannonball!
To Luo Yi and Xu Yihan's stunned expressions.
"Bang!" The Bloodthirsty Sandworm's health bar cleared, and it crashed to the ground.
Rena returned, just in time to see this scene, and said in surprise, "That fast?!"
Luo Yi said blankly, "Rena, we have a One-Punch Man on our team, no joke."
