n“Attack!”

n“Stop!”

n“Continue attacking!”

nHigh up an uninhabited rocky mountain, Li Yi constantly barked orders at Onyxia attempting to make her submit.

nThe black dragons were a symbol of evil and Onyxia was no exception. Though she was forced to obey Li Yi’s orders due to the presence of the Soul’s Oath Scroll, the hatred shown in her eyes was building by the second.

nAfter training Onyxia for an entire night, her Affinity had dropped to ‘Respectful’.

nHer affinity had decreased by an entire level.

nLi Yi had no clue whether his actions had done more harm than good. However, what he did know, was that in order to fully subjugate Onyxia, he needed to act now.

nLeaving her to her own devices would only make her grow more distant.

nLi Yi finally took a break and logged out once the first rays of light had risen.

nJiaojiao and Fire Ice had logged on, whereas Li Yi was fast asleep.

nNow that ‘Conquer’ had been released, its all-new playstyle had caught the attention of the players. Only a day had passed, and millions of players had already entered the dungeon to experience it.

nConquer did not allow the formation of parties, and every player was their own entity. The Instance Dungeon was also designed to be played solo, and as such, playing in a party was detrimental. On the other hand, playing solo was extremely satisfying.

nThe era of ‘Joy for All’ had arrived!

nIt was also at this point in time, that a lucky player was awarded a special item for completing Traveler’s Tale.

nWeisheng’s Tear (Unknown Quality)

nSpecial Accessory

nEquipment Level: Level 10

nSpecial Effect: All attributes increased by 10%.

nSpecial Effect: Recover HP every second based on the user’s level.

nSpecial Effect: The user can automatically enter ‘Invincibility’ state by standing still (for more than 5 seconds). Duration of Invincibility is unlimited, and during this period, the user cannot use any class skills. Furthermore, all attacks dealt to the user would receive the ‘Silence’ penalty. (Effect only works on players)

nThis was the item that was promised by Pantheon’s official forum, with stats that far surpassed Li Yi’s Undead Necklace of Natural Disaster.

nThe lucky player became an overnight sensation. His reputation leapt from that of a noob, into that of an expert, instantly joining the ranks of the top-tier players.

n…

nIn the evening, Li Yi logged back in.

nHis mailbox was filled with hundreds of unread messages. After skimming through most of them, he deleted them all.

nThough the senders were varied, the content was mostly the same. They were all invitations to beat ‘Conquer’.

nLi Yi was pretty familiar with ‘Conquer’. Since it did not require the formation of parties, he had cleared it multiple times in his past life, and the results of his efforts were quite decent as well.

nHowever, Li Yi was not particularly interested in achieving the first kill of ‘Conquer’. The reason for this was simple, despite its lower difficulty, getting the first kill for it was not just dependent on skill, but luck as well.

nHis luck had always been average at best, plus, the person who got the first kill in his past life was Little Elf from the Magical Realm. Though many things had changed in this life, he still believed that Missus Rong had the necessary skill and luck to succeed.

nThe player who achieved the first kill of Conquer would receive a precious flying combat mount. Since Li Yi already had Onyxia, fighting over a weaker mount was a complete waste of time.

nHe’d much rather help Little Elf from the Magical Realm, allowing her to challenge her fate, and get that precious flying mount back in her own pocket.

nThe first thing that Li Yi did when he came online was to interrogate Little Elf from the Magical Realm, asking whether she had started ‘Conquer’ yet.

n“Not yet. Didn’t you say that I would get the first kill? I really don’t believe you man, so I’ve decided that I. Will. Not. Enter. Conquer!”

n“You’re really… childish.”

n“Hmph!”

n“I’ll give you an hour to think it through. If you really aren’t going to enter Conquer, I’ll rush over to your house and spank your butt.”

n“Hmph!”

n“I’m going to take a cab.”

n“Don’t! I…I’ll head to Dragonbone Waste now.”

nLi Yi took out the Divine Looking Glass. Once he confirmed that Little Elf from the Magical Realm had reached Dragonbone Waste, his worries finally ended.

nThough the flying mount rewarded for achieving first kill in Conquer was not as good as Onyxia, it was still second only to her. Thus, it still far surpassed a majority of the mounts.

nThere was no way that he would allow anyone else to claim such a rare mount.

nOnyxia was still lying down on top of the rocks. Despite returning to human form, her sleeping position was not much different from her giant dragon form. She slept with her appendages spread wide open, and it made for an indecent sight.

nLi Yi walked forward, raised his feet and rode on top of her.

nOnyxia was startled from her slumber, but once she saw that it was Li Yi on her back, she calmed down instantly.

n“Turn into dragon form, go!”

nLi Yi had no interest in Conquer, but he was very interested in the Random Teleportation Scrolls that Emperor Lan sold. Had it not been Jiaojiao initiating the city-wide massacre last time, he would have headed to the North Pole continent long ago.

n“Mortal, where do you want to go?’

n“The North Pole Continent. Remember, call me master!”

n“Roar—”

nWith a thunderous bellow, Onyxia flapped her wings and took off.

nCompared to Epic-level mounts, the biggest advantage of Legendary Mounts was their intellect that was not far off than a human’s. Players only needed to give them orders, and they would automatically act based on their own judgment, unlike the Epic-level Mounts that could only receive simple orders such as, up, down, left, right, forward, backward, attack, and defend.

nWhile Onyxia was rushing towards her destination, Li Yi, who was sitting on her back, had nothing to do. As such, he summoned Mermaid Princess and asked her to sing some tunes.

nMounts were different from pets. Archers could only summon one pet to do battle, but mounts did not suffer from the same limitations. At any point in time, the total number of mounts summon-able was capped at 10. As long as players did not exceed this number, they could summon as many as they pleased.

nNaturally, even if they summoned 10 mounts at once, the number of mounts that could transport their owner was still capped at one. Thus, the other nine mounts would only serve for aesthetic purposes and were unable to participate in combat.

nCompared to Onyxia, Mermaid Princess was much more obedient. When he asked her to roll over, she would never stand up. When she asked her to kneel, she would never crouch. She always followed Li Yi’s orders loyally.

nOn the dragon’s back, Mermaid Princess’ beautiful fishtail temporarily disappeared. Instead, it had become a pair of human legs. She sang and danced around, making Li Yi cheer in excitement. The only regret he had was that he forgot to bring some beer to liven the mood.

nNow that Li Yi was online, the number of players who had sent him private messages numbered in the hundreds, including Confused Fox, Flower Underpants, Chen Yang, and various others.

nTheir mentality was roughly the same. They were all asking when Li Yi would attempt ‘Conquer’.

nOnce he made it out of the Invincible Continent, Li Yi posted an announcement in the Alliance Channel. “Conquer does not require parties. As such, there is no need to listen to commands. All members, you are free to do whatever you wish.”

nAs Onyxia approached the North Pole Continent, the surrounding temperature rapidly plunged.

nLi Yi waved his hand, dispelling Mermaid Princess, and in return, he received a love-filled gaze and an increase in Affinity from her.

nHe had no choice. Nowadays, every time Li Yi summoned Mermaid Princess, her Affinity towards him would drastically soar, even if he did nothing at all.

nLi Yi eyed Onyxia and mumbled, “When will it be your turn?”

nNotification:

nYou have entered the North Pole Continent…

nOnyxia gave a low growl and plunged into the white world headfirst.

n‘North Pole, I have returned!’

nLi Yi ordered Onyxia to fly at a low altitude so that he could navigate easier.

nHowever, Onyxia flew upwards with all her might, and Li Yi could hear the wind whistling past his ears. Furthermore, he was starting to feel a suffocating sensation in his nose and mouth.

n‘This damned Black Dragon Princess is getting harder to control!’

n“Head down! Head down!”

nNo matter how Li Yi commanded, the stubborn Onyxia refused to budge. She continued to barrel upwards, and only when she had exhausted her energy, she gradually descended downwards, her breath ragged.

n“Head up! Head up!” Li Yi roared.

nOnyxia landed on a snowy-white peak, shook her body, and returned back to human form, panting.

nLi Yi observed his surroundings and could feel a headache coming.

n‘It’s a field of white wherever I look. Where am I?”

nThe North Pole Continent’s surface area was extremely large, even greater than the three other main continents combined. As for the area he was currently at, after inspecting his surroundings for quite some time, he came to the conclusion that he had never been here before.

nThe coordinates were malfunctioning, which was a trait unique to the North Pole. Even if players stood still, the coordinates displayed would fluctuate wildly, providing inaccurate readings.

n“Mortal, where are we?” Onyxia’s breathing had returned to normal.

n“You’re asking me? Who told you to fly like that?”

nOnyxia was silent.

n“Kneel down and take off your pants!”

nOnyxia contemplated Li Yi’s commands for a while and obeyed it only when the black ring appeared above her head.

n‘Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!”

nLi Yi raised his hand to slap Black Dragon Princess’ buns. He was truly infuriated by the black dragon.

nHer affinity dropped drastically, and after slapping her ten times, he finally stopped.

nHer snow-white cheeks were scrawled with red streaks, but even then, Onyxia grit her teeth and refused to utter a single word.

nThere was no point in slapping her any further. He could humiliate her now, but once her Affinity reached the lowest point, Soul’s Oath Scroll would lose its effects, and when that happened, how would he even control her?

nTreating her well was a no-go, but so was treating her harshly. She yielded to neither treatment, which made her very difficult to deal with.

n“Continue flying.”

nLi Yi sat on top of Onyxia, and after waiting for a while, she morphed back into dragon form and flew into the skies.

n“Kill! Kill…”

n“Everyone! Keep it up! It’s about to die!’

nNot long after liftoff, Li Yi heard the cries of slaughter down below.

nWithout even waiting for Li Yi’s commands, Onyxia flew off in search of the sound by herself.

nOn top of a snowy peak, a group of players were surrounding a pure white snow eagle.

nThe snow eagle flew extremely fast, and its attacks were both lethal and precise. Every time it swooped down, it caused major pressure on the players down below. However, at that moment, the snow eagle did not have much HP left, and it appeared to be dying soon.

nThe snow eagle let out a pitiful wail, it had considered fleeing several times, but in the end, it continued to charge downwards repeatedly.

nDown below, the snow eagle’s nest was surrounded by thirty or so players. Inside the nest, were two pure white eagle eggs.

n“ROAR—”

nOnyxia drew in a deep breath…

n“Motherf*cker! Stop it right now!”

n…
