Entrance to Flower Market, Jiang Yuan Wants to Steal Monsters

"Waaaaah... I'm already in such a miserable state... and you're still laughing at me..."

"Okay, okay, I'll stop laughing."

Luo Xi whimpered and cried a couple more times, wiping her eyes, her red and purple eyes looking at Jiang Yuan.

Tell me your martial artist number.

"9893720, what's up?"

Luo Xi pulled out the panel and tapped it lightly with her finger.

A notification popped up in front of Jiang Yuan instantly.

[Purple God, requesting to join the team]

Jiang Yuan looked at her in surprise: "What are you doing?"

Let's team up.

"Please, I already said I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, I saved your life and helped you stabilize your mental state. Why should I team up with you and have someone else share my experience? Can you please stop dragging me down?" Jiang Yuan said, spreading his hands.

Luo Xi looked up at him with her small face upturned, her eyes filled with tears, looking like she was about to cry again.

"I've lost my teleportation stone. Do you think I can survive on the seventh floor in my current state?"

This expression, combined with her exquisite and alluring face, accentuated her stunning figure in a purple robe, and the long legs that were faintly visible beneath the robe, was like a top-tier seductive charm, irresistible to anyone.

"While I'm grateful that you saved me, who do you think caused my mental breakdown? Besides, you saw all of my...my..."

A tempting blush appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

"Alright, alright, stop talking!"

Jiang Yuan hurriedly said,

"Fine, I'll team up with you, okay?"

A hint of joy flashed in Luo Xi's eyes.

"But I have a condition." Jiang Yuan looked at her.

Luo Xi clutched her chest in a panic, her face flushed, and said, "You wouldn't be thinking of... doing something indecent, would you?"

"..."

"That's what you're thinking. I want you to put that item called [Flower Ruins Key] in the system warehouse."

"I see."

Luo Xi realized she had misunderstood and breathed a sigh of relief.

She took out the props.

"for you."

Such frankness and complete lack of guardedness surprised even Jiang Yuan.

This kind of naiveté is quite a contrast.

He sighed with emotion and clicked to accept the team invitation.

After forming a team, you can see your teammates' levels.

Luo Xi was taken aback when she saw Jiang Yuan's martial arts ID and level.

"L, LV16?!"

She's only level 8.

How many ferocious beasts must have been killed to level up this quickly?

"How many points do you have now?" Luo Xi couldn't help but ask.

"A little over 1100," Jiang Yuan replied casually.

"One, over a thousand one hundred?!"

Luo Xi opened her mouth wide, her face filled with disbelief.

She only has a little over 300 points so far.

Looking at the black-haired, golden-eyed boy beside her, Luo Xi, who had been hailed as a genius since childhood, felt a complete sense of defeat for no reason.

"What talent have you awakened?"

"secret."

Jiang Yuan finished the last skewer of grilled meat, patted his bottom, and stood up.

"Let's go."

When the two arrived at the entrance of the Flower Market based on the map's directions...

I just happened to see Wu Ping and the Dark Beetle Knight locked in a fierce battle.

Jiang Yuan was speechless.

Am I not the first one to enter the hidden map?

Why are they all running ahead of me?

"boom!"

A loud bang.

The Dark Beetle Knight's stomp attack shattered the ground!

Wu Ping, whose body exuded a pale soul aura, flew backward into the air. He clasped his hands together, causing the void in front of him to tremble, and clusters of gray soul flames crashed towards the Dark Beetle Knight.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

……

A large amount of mental damage erupted from above the Dark Beetle Knight's head.

Luo Xi was quite surprised.

"That guy named Wu Ping, he's actually this powerful?!"

Jiang Yuan stared intently at Wu Ping, his gaze deep, and thought to himself, "This spiritual power is extremely strong, unlike his own... There is indeed something strange about him."

"Could it be... parasitism?"

"Whoosh!"

The Dark Beetle Knight brandished his spear, sending a long, dark streak of light, several meters long, through the air as he slashed towards Wu Ping.

Skill - Slash.

Wu Ping immediately dodged, his body changing as blue scales appeared on his skin.

Talent - Dragon Body!

He transformed into a dragon and plummeted from the sky, delivering a powerful flying kick that struck the Dark Beetle Knight squarely in the chest, cracking several lines in its incredibly tough armor.

"Buzz!"

A red light shone from the Dark Beetle Knight.

Berserk!

A terrifying force struck, sending Wu Ping flying.

"Bang!"

The Dark Beetle Knight's lance, wreathed in white mist, plunged into the ground, sending ripples spreading outwards. Then—

boom!!

The ground shook violently, and terrifying shockwaves spread outwards from the spear, tearing the ground and surrounding trees away.

When the dust settles.

A huge crater, nearly 100 meters in diameter and 10 meters deep, appeared on the spot.

"hiss……"

Luo Xi, who had been pulled away from the attack by Jiang Yuan, couldn't help but gasp when she saw this scene.

This is the power of a Tier 3 elite monster's skill!

That's terrifying!

The Dark Beetle Knight's health bar was down to half.

Jiang Yuan reached out and grasped, revealing a dark gold bone spear in his hand, and his aura changed.

A long, silver-white sword also appeared at his waist.

Luo Xi asked in surprise, "Are you trying to steal the monster's kill...?"

"certainly."

A playful smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face.

"There's no reason to give up a Tier 3 elite to someone else."

However, he didn't rush to make a move; he could wait a little longer.

"thump."

Wu Ping, who had transformed into a dragon, crawled up from a pile of rubble, his face pale and somewhat injured.

Wu Ping anxiously asked in his mind, "Teacher, are you alright?"

Wu Ping comforted him, "You've slept for too long and you're not very good at fighting anymore. Don't worry, it's just a third-tier elite monster. I still have a lot of moves to use."

His expression changed, and he instantly dodged to the side.

The Dark Beetle Knight's massive body crashed down, causing an entire area to collapse with a single stomp.

"Soul Chains!"

With a loud shout, Wu Ping conjured thick gray chains in the void, binding the Dark Beetle Knight tightly.

"roar……"

The Dark Beetle Knight growled and struggled, its eyes shooting out red light. A large amount of dark energy spread from its body, transforming into flying black beetles that pounced on Wu Ping.

Skill - Beetle Dance!

Wu Ping blocked the attack with his soul barrier and then used his skill again.

Soul Blackwood!

Several giant, sharp-tipped gray wooden clubs emerged from the void and pierced the Dark Beetle Knight's body, pinning it firmly to the spot.

【-twenty four】

The health bar was reduced to a quarter in an instant.

Jiang Yuan also chose to make his move at this moment.

In front of Luo Xi.

He took a step and flashed, appearing in front of the unsuspecting Wu Ping.

Wu Ping was startled: "It's you...!!"

A golden glint flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes.

Mental pressure + mental spikes!!

Wu Ping felt a sharp pain in his soul, and his reaction was a moment too slow.

And it was in that very moment.

Jiang Yuan's fist, wreathed in crimson flames and wisps of black lightning, landed heavily on his abdomen.

"Bang—!"

Air burst!

"Whoosh!"

"boom!"

Wu Ping's body crashed to the ground like a meteor, creating a huge crater.

[Lightning Speed]

Jiang Yuan flashed again, arriving in front of the bound Dark Beetle Knight, and unleashed a strike with his Dark Gold Bone Spear!

[Sky-Splitting Strike]

A flash of dark golden light appeared, and a large hole was ripped open in the chest of the Dark Beetle Knight.

【-twenty four】

Jiang Yuan drew his silver-white fang from his waist again, crimson flames swirling around the snow-white blade, and slashed out with it through the air.

"One Sword Style - Armor Crack. Silver Slash."

Luo Xi stared in shock and disbelief.

A crimson blade of light, hundreds of meters long, flashed past, slicing through the Dark Beetle Knight's body and cleaving it in two.
