317: Not fat enough, let it grow a little more.

Huang Chen activated the [Golden Bell Shield] and the [Black and Yellow Body], then used a [Soul Severing Stab] to pierce directly into the center of the enemy faction's formation, where the red dots were densest!

His figure appeared, instantly drawing the attention of all surrounding hostile Trial Takers.

After all, given his current score, the red dot representing him on the map was definitely so bright it looked black.

"A master is charging the formation!"

"It must be an Assassin who sneaked in! Kill him!"

"Wait, it's a Metal Element User! Focus fire!"

After a brief moment of shock, the Trial Takers who reacted immediately poured their firepower toward Huang Chen. Fireballs, blizzards, lightning, crossbow bolts... the dense light of countless skills instantly submerged Huang Chen's location.

Miss! Miss! Miss! Miss! Miss! -854... However, swathes of misses and hundreds of damage points floated above Huang Chen's head. Even ignoring his dodges, Huang Chen's perfected [Golden Bell Shield] provided extremely high physical defense and proportional damage reduction, while his perfected [Black and Yellow Body] immunized him against the majority of magic damage.

At this moment, within the Asura Field, where attributes were suppressed and equipment was generic, Huang Chen's defense was virtually insurmountable!

"How is that possible?"

"Can't we hurt him?"

"Wait, it's Huang Chen! Huang Chen, number one on the leaderboard!"

Finally, someone recognized Huang Chen's figure, and screams of terror erupted within the crowd.

The deterrence of the number one spot on the leaderboard instantly chilled some people to the bone; basically, everyone currently in the top hundred had the strength to fight hundreds of people alone.

After all, their skill mastery was evident. If you chased them, you couldn't catch them. They would kite you, and you would be completely helpless.

However, the current Huang Chen was different from those other masters; he virtually ignored the enemy's skill output. He shook the long spear in his hand, and [Blood Battle in Eight Directions] was fiercely activated!

Buzz!

Eight solid spear shadows instantly swept out from him in all directions! Where the spear shadows passed, white light flashed everywhere.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

-25682! -24987! -26234!

...[Ding! Killed a hostile faction Trial Taker. Score and Contribution Value +100! Additionally gained 10% of the opponent's Score and Contribution Value, 5,465 points each.]

[Ding! Killed a hostile faction Trial Taker. Score and Contribution Value +100! Additionally gained 10% of the opponent's Score and Contribution Value, 12,541 points each.]

[Ding! Killed a hostile faction Trial Taker. Score and Contribution Value +100! Additionally gained 10% of the opponent's Score and Contribution Value, 2,535 points each.]

...Terrifying damage numbers frantically popped up above the heads of the surrounding Trial Takers! A dense patch of white light instantly flared up! Simultaneously, system notifications rang out wildly in his mind.

"Killing people and setting fires truly leads to wealth!" Huang Chen laughed heartily. High-scoring Trial Takers now had over a hundred thousand points; killing one was comparable to fighting a boss.

If the Asura Field wasn't randomized, a huge wave of people would definitely be exploiting this method to farm points.

"Run!"

"We can't stop him! We absolutely can't stop him!"

"Is he invincible?"

...Some people screamed and quickly fled toward the periphery. At the same time, due to the chaos in the formation, members of other factions on the outside began closing in, eyeing them covetously.

"Don't run!"

Someone shouted from the crowd: "That's over nine million points! His attributes are the same as ours right now. Surround him! Even ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them..."

This person's words had some effect. Many fleeing Trial Takers stopped and began moving toward Huang Chen.

However, those with clear heads continued to flee.

What a joke. 90 out of 100 attacks were dodged, and the remaining ones could only chip away a few hundred HP. He would recover it all by eating a single Wuhua.

Moreover, the opponent was so fast that focusing fire was simply impossible.

The highly efficient slaughter quickly crushed the morale of the attackers. The formation, which had been relatively tight, instantly collapsed, and the survivors fled in terror in all directions.

How could Huang Chen let them go? His figure flickered, and [Soul Severing Stab] was activated again, chasing after the cluster of brighter red dots like a maggot attached to bone. His long spear moved like a dragon, instantly unleashing [Yang Guan Three Stacks]!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

-19876! -22345! -21234!

Three more beams of white light rose up.

He was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Every flash, every spear thrust, inevitably took at least one life. The red dots on the map extinguished in patches around him.

[Ding! Killed a hostile faction Trial Taker. Score and Contribution Value +100! Additionally gained 10% of the opponent's Score and Contribution Value, 1,782 points each.]

[Ding! Killed a hostile faction Trial Taker. Score and Contribution Value +100! Additionally gained 10% of the opponent's Score and Contribution Value, 1,952 points each.]

[Ding! Killed a hostile faction Trial Taker. Score and Contribution Value +100! Additionally gained 10% of the opponent's Score and Contribution Value, 3,162 points each.]

...System notifications rang in Huang Chen's ears like a flood of messages, and his score began to climb rapidly.

This was entirely a one-sided massacre.

However, after only a short while, Huang Chen realized that everyone around him had fled, and even the red dots on the map were moving away.

Huang Chen: "..."

Not giving up, he shot into the air, continuing to fly toward the enemy area where the red dots were denser.

However, seeing him approach, the group immediately dispersed. In the end, Huang Chen only managed to kill a few people, earning about ten thousand points.

"This won't do!" Huang Chen sighed helplessly, looking at the map which now only had green dots left.

He hadn't expected that his first appearance in the Asura Field after three months of silence would result in such a scene.

What he didn't know was that the news of his appearance and rampage in the Asura Field quickly spread throughout all the races.

These people were extremely shrewd; as soon as a particularly large red dot appeared on the map, they would scatter instantly.

Helplessly, Huang Chen could only activate stealth and walk toward the center. Along the way, unless he encountered a relatively large red dot, he couldn't be bothered to attack. After all, everyone would immediately flee the moment he appeared, making the kill efficiency too low.

After walking for about an hour and farming around a hundred thousand points, the scenery suddenly changed into a boundless plain.

This was a true Asura Battlefield. There was virtually no vegetation left on the plain, and countless monsters of various types roamed as far as the eye could see, interspersed with quite a few Bosses. Moreover, the battlefield no longer contained only Level 60 monsters; among the Level 60 monster groups, Huang Chen also spotted many Level 70 and even Level 80 Bosses.

At the edge of the battlefield, small groups tacitly refrained from fighting each other, instead guarding their own small areas and continuously luring monsters from the field to kill.

"Should I kill people or kill monsters?" Huang Chen hesitated, finally shaking his head helplessly: "I guess I'll look for Bosses to kill."

If he killed people, they would certainly scatter immediately. It was better to let them farm some points first. Anyway, there was still a year left in the Asura Battlefield. They weren't fat enough yet; he should let them grow.

Huang Chen immediately activated stealth and stepped onto the plain, walking toward a massive red dot. A few minutes later, a giant monster appeared before him.

The moment Huang Chen appeared, the monster locked its gaze onto him.

"It can see through stealth?" Huang Chen was surprised, and randomly cast an inspection skill.
