Chapter 524: Slap In The Face

‘The pride of normal players?’ Charming Smile pondered over the sentence, but let out an expression of disdain. She took out an item, which shone faintly with the light of Dark Gold, and threw it to that player.

That person never thought that he could actually get back his equipment, so he showed his gratitude to Lin Jie ecstatically. Afterward, that Berserker, who looked slightly younger, with the ID Shadow of The Wind, arrived. He was the owner of that item. He took the item and thanked Lin Jie shyly. Then he took a look at Charming Smile, and with a flushed face, he said, “Thank you for returning me my equipment.”

Lin Jie could not help but laugh. Charming Smile had tricked him and stolen his equipment, but he still thanked Charming Smile? ‘Looks like he is quite an interesting person too.’

Charming Smile looked at him as if she were in a daze. After a long while, she blushed and turned her face to the other side. She snorted. “No need to thank me! I’ll leave first.”

Seeing Charming Smile leave, Shadow of The Wind’s eyes looked a little sad. He smiled embarrassingly and explained to his teammates, “Well, everyone, don’t be angry anymore. Maybe, I was too careless, making everyone uncomfortable while leveling up. How about this, later when we go back, I’ll treat and let’s have a drink, okay? Leader Lone Wolf, thank you so much, this item is essential to me.”

Lin Jie nodded. Although the aim this time was to let Charming Smile change her bad habit, it was a good thing to obtain the respect and trust of a batch of solo players. He was just about to call Very Fat and Dark Earl to enter the Hall of Abomination when a taunting voice sounded from the crowd. “Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’re really the leader of Brotherhood. Your popularity-gaining ability is indeed not bad.”

The person who spoke was named Silent Ghost, from his equipment, he looked like a Weapon Specialist. He scoffed. “Sending extras to make a scene to gain popularity, is there any point? Just now, that woman also stole one of my Dark Gold items, could Leader Lone Wolf please help me solve it too?”

From Silent Ghost’s sarcastic tone and harsh words, even an idiot could tell that he was just looking for trouble.

Shadow of The Wind said frankly, “This brother, just now, it seems you were not inside my team, right? When did she steal your equipment?”

“Hmph, who do you think you are to have the qualifications to ask me a question?” Just as Silent Ghost’s finished speaking, he unsheathed his sharp blade and actually swung it a few times. Shadow of The Wind was instantly forced to retreat, and five 400+ damage values popped up from his head. Shadow of The Wind’s health bar instantly decreased by 2/3!

Lin Jie’s pupils constricted. ‘Such fast speed!’ Maybe, it might be difficult for others to see clearly, but Lin Jie was able to observe the technique within. Silent Ghost’s technique was quite good. He had instantly connected a normal attack with the skill of a Weapon Specialist, and then the side effect of shaking backward due to the skill was directly canceled by the preparation action of another skill he activated. Afterward, it was connected once again with a normal attack. That was the technique of being able to have an outburst of attacks instantly.

However, such a technique was not used often. In Lin Jie’s case, it was effortless for him if he wanted to do what Silent Ghost had done and easily surpass Silent Ghost. The principle of that technique was to make use of seldom-used skills to cancel the Stiffening of an attack. However, that needed one to learn many useless and trashy skills.

Simply speaking, it was a short outburst attacking method that consumed tens of skills at once.

“You!” Shadow of The Wind was knocked back by such an attack, so he angrily lifted his sword and charged towards Silent Ghost!

“Tsk, tsk, you’re really biting off more than you can chew! Let me show you the strength of Split Second Five Slashes!” Silent Ghost smiled coldly and tightly grasped his longsword on his right hand. Then he pierced towards Shadow of The Wind’s attack head-on! The two swords collided in the air, and clanging sounds of metals could be heard in the air. Just at that moment, Silent Ghost vibrated his sharp sword and unleashed the technique named Split Second Five Slashes once again.

Shadow of The Wind gasped in astonishment, but he found a gap, and his right hand swelled up vigorously, scratching towards Silent Ghost’s face!

Lin Jie could see in a single glance that most likely, Shadow of The Wind had seen many of his battling videos! That was because what Shadow of The Wind did was imitating Lin Jie’s Death Grip. Although Shadow of The Wind’s skill was slightly poorer, it was only a normal grabbing skill. Who would have thought that Shadow of The Wind was still partially Lin Jie’s fan?

Shadow of The Wind was still slightly stronger than normal players. At least, his ability in looking for weak points was powerful. He might have great potential if he were to be trained. Currently, Shadow of The Wind wanted to showcase his technique in front of his idol, so he grabbed Silent Ghost’s face with his right hand and his left hand, which held a sword, pierced towards Silent Ghost’s throat. Shadow of The Wind even found the perfect opportunity to activate Outraged Roar and wanted to control his opponent.

“Trash!” A sharp gaze flashed in Silent Ghost’s eyes as he finally revealed a cynical expression. He activated Heroic Strike and Giant Strike! It was as if countless sword shadows had been created in his hand, and Shadow of The Wind’s armor was letting out iron wails of suffering. Silent Ghost had used 20+ skills consecutively in that instant, and 10+ of them were to cancel the stiffening of the body from skills. The remaining few attacks all struck Shadow of The Wind’s body.

-537!

-472

…

Waves of damage values popped up, and Shadow of The Wind flew away like a kite with a broken line—he had actually been killed once again! The item he had obtained back from Charming Smile’s hands was tragically dropped yet again.

Everyone was stunned, by Silent Ghost’s quick attacking speed! If that person was in a normal team, then he would be the legendary expert!

Silent Ghost picked up the item and observed it. He scoffed. “So it was a Dark Gold item, no wonder he treasured it so much. Since it was so, then it’s mine now!”

“Who taught you?” Lin Jie finally spoke.

“Hehehe, teach? Lone Wolf, did you think that only you can create your own battling techniques?” Silent Ghost said, “This technique is an ultimate skill that I have created myself!”

Lin Jie shook his head and said seriously, “You don’t have that ability.”

“Hmph, arrogant! Lone Wolf, do you dare to receive one of my attacks?” Silent Ghost’s face was gloomy, from what Lin Jie said, what he heard was blatant, undisguised disdain! Silent Ghost wanted to make use of the technique, which he had trained so hard to grasp and kill Lone Wolf!

“There’s no need, you can’t hit me,” replied Lin Jie.

“Ahhhh!” Silent Ghost was utterly angered. Since he had learned that battle technique, it could be said that he was ever-victorious. Usually, it would only be him looking down on others, no one dared to despise him. However, now that he had met Lin Jie, the latter looked down on him. In Lin Jie’s eye, Silent Ghost was some useless piece of trash—the blatant contempt and disdain made Silent Ghost feel great humiliation!

Forward Charge!

The outraged Silent Ghost was unprecedentedly concentrated! The technique he used required him to capture the attacking trajectory of himself perfectly, so the instant the Attack Judgment appeared, he would use a skill to immediately cancel the Stiffening caused by activating a skill. Then, consecutively, using skills to cancel one another, he could attack continuously, instantly attacking multiple times and dealing an outburst of damage!

Currently, in such a furious state, Silent Ghost was actually able to grasp his attacking trajectory more clearly than any time in the past. He could feel that his condition had already reached his peak and even vaguely had some new understanding. It was the trace of him improving!

“Die!” Silent Ghost shouted a single somber word. Then his sharp blade instantly pierced towards Lin Jie’s armor. He shook the tip of the sword, and blade shadows were instantly formed—multiple attacks were thrust towards Lin Jie simultaneously!

“Hmph.” Lin Jie narrowed his eyes and also created numerous blade shadows with Broken Blade! However, not only did he have more blade shadows than Silent Ghost, but he was also faster than Silent Ghost! With each collision, Broken Blade was pressed closer to Silent Ghost’s body, but Silent Ghost’s sword was only piercing towards Lin Jie.

If it could be replayed using slow motion, then one would notice that the duo was simply like practicing coordination and feeding attacks. Each time, Lin Jie would attack beforehand, then Silent Ghost’s attack would be released to block Lin Jie’s attack.

‘How could this be?’ Silent Ghost was slightly astonished in his heart, but he realized that a huge hand had already appeared in front of him. Immediately after, he felt a sharp pain in his face!

Lin Jie was using Death Grip to grab onto Silent Ghost’s head. He said coldly, “Trash!” Of course, when grabbing Silent Ghost’s head, Lin Jie accidentally used a little too much force, and when it came into contact with Silent Ghost’s head, a crisp crack could be heard.

Silent Ghost was grabbing Lin Jie’s wrist and struggling painfully. Silent Ghost was releasing anguished screams and was about to explode from anger! Not only did his self-proclaimed powerful Split Second Five Slashes did not suppress Lin Jie at all, but instead, he was totally overpowered by the opponent using the technique that he was so proud of. Silent Ghost was even grabbed in the face by the Death Grip—it was really a slap in the face!

Immediately after, Broken Blade sliced through Silent Ghost’s throat, and his body instantly limped off. Shadow of The Wind’s equipment was once again dropped!

That group of solo players was dumbfounded by what they had seen. Silent Ghost’s strength was obvious to everyone as he could kill Shadow of The Wind, who possessed Dark Gold equipment, in a matter of seconds—it could prove that he was an expert! However, Lin Jie killed Silent Ghost in one shot—it was too appalling!

“Split Second Five Slashes, guaranteed mastery?” Lin Jie remembered this sentence again. He recalled what Baili Xuanyuan had jokingly said once. Most likely, that person was the disciple of one of the people Baili Xuanyuan had recruited.

Just as Lin Jie was thinking, Shadow of The Wind had already been revived. He ran towards Lin Jie cautiously. “Thank you… it’s the second time.”

Lin Jie was amused by this bashful guy and handed back the Dark Gold item in his hands. Lin Jie encouraged, “You are quite talented, your actions are quite similar to mine. You did quite a good job learning. But remember, don’t just imitate the movements, the battling technique and instincts are what’s most important.”

“Ye- yes! Brother Lone Wolf, I… can I join Savage Blade?” asked Shadow of The Wind.

“You’re still not qualified now.” Lin Jie shook his head. “Go and note down the ID Silent Ghost, then go back and work harder. When you think you’ve improved, then go and challenge him. When you can easily defeat his battling technique, come and find me.”

After Shadow of The Wind was rejected, his eyes, sadly, drooped down, but then they shone brightly. He hurriedly nodded and said, “Got it! I will work harder.”

“You can join Brotherhood first,” said Lin Jie as he smiled. He had not heard of the name Shadow of The Wind in his previous life, but with his judgment honed through living twice, he believed that a little guidance, the achievements of that youngster would be high.

“Okay! That’s right, Brother Lone Wolf, do you need the key to enter the Mediumship Tower? I just nicely have one.” Shadow of The Wind took out a key and said embarrassingly, “Here, it’s for you.”

Lin Jie smiled. He did not hold back and took the key into his hand. He said, “Then thank you. I’ll go in to kill the Boss first. We’ll talk again in the future if there is a chance.”

After binding the few solo players farewell, Lin Jie called Very Fat and Dark Earl. Then they directly headed towards the Mediumship Tower.

“Lone Wolf, you’ve earned big time, haven’t you?” Very Fat smiled and said, “That young man, his talent is not bad, and his battling method is completely imitating yours, so he’s very suitable for you to train.”

Dark Earl nodded. “Maybe you can recruit a group of Berserkers and form a Berserker army with your method,”

“Train? I still have much to learn. I don’t have the time or energy to do such a thing.” Lin Jie thought of Silent Ghost and that person named Agile Leopard, then his eyes turned cold. “Let’s go. Let’s finish gathering the Mediumship Orb and enter the General’s Mausoleum first. Maybe we can meet a few familiar faces.”
