Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

The Shadow knew this state very well, which indicated that the big guy in front of him not only had strength far exceeding that of ordinary players but also possessed some powerful Stealth Skill whose effect was not inferior to his Shadow Stealth.

Upon discovering this fact, the Shadow couldn’t help but lament how competitive it had become to be an Assassin these days; even Berserkers were learning stealth to steal business.

Wu Chang introduced to everyone:

”This is Sekos. A few days ago, he found me after following the Shadow and Great White Shark. Unfortunately, he couldn’t complete the task I set for him on time. But I made an exception and gave him another chance, allowing him to join as a Trainee Member.”

”I know this is very unfair to everyone, and I am the fairest of all, so I give everyone a chance. If anyone thinks Sekos isn’t strong enough to stay, they can spar with him. If he wins, he stays; if he loses, he leaves.”

”Who wants to give it a try?”

The big guy in front of them, Sekos, was Wu Chang’s True Self.

After activating the Giant Whale Transformation, the True Self’s initial Strength Value reached 84. During this period, he had been keeping the True Self under the states of Social Phobia and Elite Stealth, hidden around him.

While everyone was not paying attention, the True Self devoured the vitality of Captain Jiang Junsu and First Mate Li Yuanzhi. As elite monsters in the verge-of-out-of-control A-Level dungeon, their strength was not inferior to that of Duke Luz at Midnight Cemetery, each providing 20 Strength Points to the True Self.

This brought the True Self’s current Strength Points to 124.

124 Strength Points paired with a mountain-like physique was enough to make anyone shy away.

At least among the players, no one believed Wu Chang’s decision was unfair or wanted to test Sekos’s mettle.

Especially Sword Star, who was the first to back away. He knew Wu Chang’s sparring rule was empty-handed combat, stopping before causing harm.

He could still try against Cyan Dragon, but facing the little giant before him, if the latter swung a slap, wouldn’t it send his health card flying?

Seeing no one step up, Cyan Dragon had to brace himself and walk out.

As Wu Chang’s number one bodyguard, he had the duty to screen qualified candidates for the boss.

Sensing the sympathetic gazes from everyone, Cyan Dragon didn’t wait for Wu Chang to speak and proactively said:

”Empty-handed sparring, stop before causing harm!”

The True Self smiled and replied, ”Alright.”

The two slowly approached each other; Cyan Dragon, renowned for his aggressive fighting style, surprisingly took a defensive stance. As soon as he started, he activated his inner energy, and the Cyan Dragon tattoo on his body seemed to come alive, coiling around him, guarding against the impending attack.

On the other hand, Wu Chang True Self was very relaxed. After upgrading the Thunder Skill Fragment to the Thunder Skill Fragment Roll, he had fully mastered the previous skills from the Thunder Skill Fragment, and now was the perfect time to try out the newly familiar skills.

One moment, the True Self stood in a relaxed pose, and the next, he suddenly accelerated, his body swift as lightning, appearing instantly before Cyan Dragon and throwing a punch.

Cyan Dragon raised his arm to block but realized it was a miss. Concentrating, he then noticed that it was merely an afterimage that had swung its fist at him.

Not good!

Realizing things were amiss, Cyan Dragon was about to dodge when suddenly he felt his ribs tighten as two fan-sized hands gripped his torso from left and right.

The next moment, the hands exerted force, lifting him off the ground as if holding a child.

Wu Chang spoke from the side, ”That’s enough!”

The True Self stopped accordingly, placed Cyan Dragon back on the ground, and said with a smile, ”Thank you.”

The ability he used just now was the Body Technique from the Thunder Skill Fragment, known as Electric Light and Thunder Shadow.

Back then, Chi Yuan could use Electric Light and Thunder Shadow to split into two afterimages with Thunder Spiritual Power, moving in unison with him. Not only was it fast, but it also left the opponent unable to distinguish the true body.

Now, Wu Chang, who upgraded the Cultivation Technique to the Thunder Skill Fragment, could also split into afterimages with this move, and the afterimages were even more realistic than those Chi Yuan could create at the time, even fooling Cyan Dragon.

The players were aware of Cyan Dragon’s skill level, which fell short of being a match for them in terms of level, but defeating him without using lethal moves was not an easy task for them.

Especially for Sword Star and Negotiation Master, defeating Cyan Dragon without using lethal moves would still leave them with significant injuries.

Witnessing Cyan Dragon, in his best field of empty-handed combat, easily lifted like a child by the newcomer, everyone was more than satisfied and immediately applauded to welcome the newcomer.

Having successfully infiltrated the True Self, Wu Chang began laying out the plans for the evening’s actions.

During the day, the Shipwreck Belt was calm and peaceful.

Cui Chengze continued setting up the ritual to absorb the Mystical Origin. Wu Chang met with the visiting Yin Junhao and informed them there was no problem, and they could proceed with the agreement to modify the Earthly Divine Kingdom.

However, Wu Chang specifically instructed them to leave the most crucial node on the fourth deck for last modification.

Nightfall came quickly over the sea, the sun sinking rapidly.

As the moon rose, Wu Chang and his group joined forces with Li Yubin’s faction, ambushing at the location prepared in advance by Sword Star.

A few spies from Mid Country, long marked by Wu Chang, gathered furtively in the first-floor cargo hold, waiting for their leader to appear.

Before long, a mysterious figure shrouded entirely in a cloak arrived quickly at the first-floor cargo hold, addressing everyone:

”Is the intelligence I asked you to prepare all completed?”

Everyone hastily handed over the prepared intelligence.

The mysterious figure took the intelligence and was about to leave when Wu Chang and the others were ready to take action. Unexpectedly, a white shadow emerged from the darkness ahead of them, rushing at the mysterious figure.
