The Great Thief

Before Azure Sea Breeze even took aggro, Lu Li had already rushed forwards.

”Just go for it; I’ll engage.”

It was like he had gone crazy!

The others who looked at him thought he had a death wish. Who else was would be irrational enough to engage a level 48 Boss? It wasn’t even a stealthy engagement; he was directly charging at it.

However, the performance of the Boss ultimately disappointed them.

The giant Troll Boss attacked and only dealt a fifth of Lu Li’s HP.

”His damage is so weak. I don’t even feeling like fighting it now,” Azure Sea Breeze sighed.

”He still has quite a bit of HP. We need to hurry to finish this Instance Dungeon; the match is starting in less than an hour,” Kitty Likes Meat yawned as she waved her hand and casted some skills.

”It is what it is. Boss, you need to stay back a bit,” Machine Bro said. He didn’t want to let Lu Li die and began to rapidly heal him.

The last Boss in the Temple of Hakkar was not the most difficult; one might even say that it was the weakest one.

It didn’t even have any big tricks up its sleeve. The most powerful skill it had was a Trample skill that stunned two players in the area for two seconds.

”Will this Boss drop good items?” Around this time in every Boss fight, someone would ask this question in anticipation.

Lu Li immediately responded, ”What do you think?”

”Well, obviously I’d like it drop something good,” Nuo Yu said with a bitter smile. The Boss was so weak and Lu Li’s tone seemed to suggest there was little hope for it to drop anything worthwhile.

”The punishment I suffered is finally over. Let my blood flow onto the earth!” the unnamed Boss shouted as it finally fell.

”That was quite a cool line. Does anyone know the story?” someone asked.

”I only know that he had committed some kind of wrong and was suppressed by his own people. The specific incident was not documented, but he is described as a very strong warrior in some of his biographies,” Lu Li recalled diligently as he shook his head.

”Even I’m stronger than him. Dreamy, go loot the Boss,” Azure Sea Breeze said with disdain.

The late System prompt had finally arrived.

System: Ruling Sword guild members Azure Sea Breeze, Kitty Likes Meat, Sakura Memories, Nuo Yu, Drifting Rain, Mu Fish, Machine Bro, Jaweika, Hachi Chan and Remnant Dream, led by party leader Lu Li have acquired the First Clear for the Temple of Hakkar on Elite Difficulty.

This was merely a First Clear on Elite Difficulty in a relatively easy dungeon, but it still caused a great uproar on the World Announcements.

Lucky Southern Persian: Is this really okay? We are all in the arena and they are off getting First Clears.

Wendelian: I can’t stand it. Elevenless, they’re disrespecting you. Ruling Sword is doing the Instance Dungeon now, but they’re going to come and give you a beating afterwards.

Vegetarian Mosquitor: Who is Elevenless? Is there a reward for killing him?

Lone Smoker Long: He is the number one ranking player after all. There are only 10 minutes until the match starts, and he’s actually still in an Instance Dungeon getting a First Clear. Wasn’t he afraid of missing the match because of the Instance Dungeon?

White Westhill: If I was Elevenless, I wouldn’t take this. I would confront them about this.

Storm Warrior: I just saw Fat Monkey and Moonlight playing on the battlefield. They have been going all morning without any breaks.

Fall Sacrifice: Breaking news – March Rain is levelling with a handsome guy. It looked very intimate.

King: I know. That’s definitely her brother – Lonesome Flower of the Xin Xin Mercenary Group. I can’t think of another pair of siblings who are so inseparable. I think poor March Rain will be destined to never marry.

Not a Primary Student: Wow, he’s definitely a Sister-con.

God-level Newbie: It’s just like primary school students who pretend to be siblings when they like each other.

Not a Primary Student was the most famous loli on the beauty rankings; she was the ultimate dream for lolicons. As soon as she appeared on the World Announcements, the crowd flocked to her. Even the First Clear of Ruling Sword was no longer relevant.

In the lounge room of the grand arena, Elevenless let out a long sigh.

He didn’t really know how to respond to a situation like this. Was he supposed to say, ”Lu Li, I want to kill you slowly, so please stop running about?”

Elevenless had quite a few connections, but he was widely known. As such, whenever a chance arose, there was always a group of people who would gloat at him. Regardless of whether they were a professional player or a regular player, they all treated him as a laughing-stock.

”Relax, the next match is about to begin,” the Mage Dreaming About Being Thirteen said as he patted him on the shoulder to calm him down.

Dreaming About Being 13 was Wings of Dawn’s Mage and coach of the club. Although he didn’t have the best technique, he was the well-deserved leader of the team.

They also had a professional player called Falling Smile, who was a flamboyant Priest. He really liked yellow and was considered a celebrity in the gaming circles.

Beyond those players, the rest were newbies who had yet to experience the baptism of the arena.

”I must make Lu Li pay.”

Elevenless struggled with his heavy metal armor, but his voice was filled with determination.

He had died every time he ran into Lu Li, who was slowly becoming a nightmare for him.

”I think we don’t have to take out our last resort now. There’s just no need,” Dreaming About Being Thriteen sighed, but he was the only one objecting to it. Everyone else insisted on teaching Ruling Sword a lesson, so he had no choice.

In some players’ minds, Ruling Sword had risen to the heights of Glory Capital, but most other players felt this comparison was ridiculous.

However, if this was not the case, then Wings of Dawn wouldn’t have been so insistent on using their last resort in the qualifiers. This wasn’t even one of the later stage matches.

A few minutes before the game started, Lu Li was still in the Instance Dungeon.

In the end, the Boss didn’t drop anything good. It was just one rare material that could sold for a few dozen gold coins.

The only thing that made everyone stay was the First Clear bonus. Everyone received a piece of equipment or item in their inventory.

System: Congratulations, you have received a Skill Book.
