Chapter 524 - Leveling Up in Clumsiness
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations*
At this moment, Nalan Hongwu, Su Tianji, and the others finally entered the legendary Sky Tower, the miraculous portal leading from Arad to Empyrean.
Looking at the column-shaped tower leading to the sky, all the cultivators and warriors exclaimed and were amazed by this magical building.
It hadn’t originally existed at West Coast; it had only existed in legends, and few people had seen it.
However, some time before the adventurers arrived at West Coast, it had suddenly appeared here.
There were many strange life forms such as cold and strange statues and enormous stone giants that could fly. In the pitch-black darkness, there were even many knight stone statues that would come back to life at any time and attack anyone who entered the tower.
This grand building was fraught with many weird things.
The Sky Tower was also a dungeon. Soon, Nalan Hongwu, the leader of the team, chose to enter Dragonoid Nest.
Since the magic power in the Sky Tower had effects on all life forms, the dragons had evolved into dragonoids! The dragonoids lived for the sole purpose of guarding their territory and blocking any adventurers.
This was the first stop in the Sky Tower.
This tower was magnificent. If the players walked inside, they would find that the interior space was even bigger than what it looked like from the outside.
They walked up along the steps. Suddenly, a big flock of creatures flew toward them.
“Watch my Ice Orb!” After condensing magic energy in his palm, An Huwei launched the ice spell, shooting out a basketball-sized magic orb of ice and water.
When the Ice Orb crashed into the herd of monsters, it instantly exploded into ice pallets and water splashes, sending these monsters flying in all directions.
At a closer look, they saw that the monsters were baby dragons which looked quite similar to the horned dragons of the Ultimate West Realm. Including their wings, they were as big as basins.
“How was it? My Ice Orb wasn’t bad, eh?” An Huwei laughed at this effect.
His mage character had good skills amongst all mages since he had played as a sorcerer in Diablo 2.
Before his laughter naturally came to an end, a dark yellow shadow lunged at him from behind swiftly with whistling noises.
“Ground Quaker! Wave Sword!” With quick reflexes, Zong Wu detected the attacker’s position with his ears and swung his short sword, shooting out a dark-yellow sword light along the wall of the staircase!
The force sent the attacking figure flying.
“Ugh?!” Nalan Hongwu looked back and said in surprise, “Good aim!”
“Hahaha!” Zu Wu was feeling smug. “I’m still adapting, but my sense for hostility is more useful than eyes in some aspect. For example, I sensed many monsters lurking on the floor above us, ready to sneak-attack!”
“You’re so powerful?!” Su Tianji said in surprise.
“Of course! I’ve never felt so sensitive to the movements around me. If I can master this skill, I think no one can sneak-attack me,” Zong Wu laughed and said, “Although I’m blind, I feel like I’m stronger!”
“That is possible?!” Nalan Hongwu looked at Zong Wu in a daze.
“Of course!” Zong Wu said confidently.
“Let’s go! After we defeat this boss, we’ll go and challenge a higher difficulty level!”
“Ugh?!” Zong Wu’s face turned grim. “Be careful! The murderous intent is getting close!”
Nalan Hongwu looked back and saw the dragonoid, who was sent flying, lunging toward them again!
Nalan Hongwu held his sword before him horizontally.
Tink! He blocked the attack steadily.
It was a beautiful parry!
“Hahahaha” He was about to boast when a pitch-black sword light hacked toward him like a lightning flash.
“Ghost Orb!”
Nalan Hongwu looked at the Ghost Orb crashing toward him in a daze.
“!!??”
“Hahahaha!” Zong Wu laughed and said, “What do you think of this Ghost Orb of mine? Did I just save you guys again?”
“Old Ghost Nalan, what do you think?!”
“Old Ghost Nalan?”
“Where’s Old Ghost Nalan?”
The other two teammates looked at him dumbfoundedly.
Nalan Hongwu had only one thought in his mind right now, “Never team up with people who are blind!”
It was impossible to carry them!
…
Meanwhile, Song Qingfeng and the others were also leveling up in the dungeons.
At the Puppet Museum, Lin Shao used the dizzying Secret Sword Art. “Am I dashing? Young Master Song, look at how dashing I am!”
The lightsabre wildly danced in his hands.
Suddenly, a pale grey puppet shot toward them.
“My striker character is dashing, alright!” Song Qingfeng kicked viciously. Then, he took out a brick and aimed it toward the stone puppet. “F*ck off!”
Snap!
The figure who had been waving the lightsabre instantly dropped to the ground.
“Your aim is trash!”
In the past, the male fighters on the Arad Continent had not been strong since Martial God Shannon Myer never accepted male disciples.
As time went by, female fighters had become the mainstream on the Arad Continent.
Without opportunities to learn fighting skills, the male fighters didn’t give up. Instead, they had gradually created many new styles.
It was why the male fighters and female fighters could be treated as totally different classes in Dungeon Fighter Online.
In the world where Fang Qi lived in right now, these two classes could be viewed as two factions. They were both fighters sharing some basic knowledge, but they were different in many core areas.
For example, female fighters mainly fought with fists. In contrast, Song Qingfeng had been using kicks all this time. Except for the fist techniques that he had learned in the real world, he almost never punched out with his fists.
“Ugh… It’s not enough to only fight with my legs…” Song Qingfeng looked embarrassed.
…
Most players were now leveling up clumsily with their skills that were new and unfamiliar.
Their enthusiasm drew the attention of many other players, and these people decided to try this new game as well.
The whole internet café looked livelier than usual.
“Hu…” Having played three characters in one day, Mr. Fang was extremely tired. When midnight came, he had just used up the fatigue points of the third character.
Lounging in his computer chair, he saw that most of the customers had gone, and he stretched his body by force.
He hadn’t had this feeling in a long time.
Looking at his accounts, Fang Qi shook his head and chuckled.
On the morning of the next day, many people had gotten up early as if they were driven by some force in their minds.
Most of them had reached level 20 yesterday and had learned some complicated and fancy skills of their subclasses, such as the Secret Sword Art.
However, these were not enough for them.
It was just the beginning.
