9: First acquaintance with the Tyrant Guild

“Tsk, he came out so fast. This newcomer has no ability but still acts tough.”

The Level 5 Shield Warrior from Overbearing Guild showed a hint of disdain on his face when he saw Li Changkong emerge from the Secret Realm.

Only a few minutes had passed, and in the Shield Warrior's opinion, Li Changkong had probably just hidden in some corner of a dungeon for a while before coming out.

He also didn't connect Li Changkong with the dungeon clear broadcast from earlier.

Just as he was about to look away, his expression subtly changed.

Because the summon duration hadn't ended yet, Li Changkong hadn't recalled Black Flame, who was currently following behind him.

The massive body of the Black Dragon was truly eye-catching; the Shield Warrior couldn't help but notice it.

“I'm rich!”

Excitement gleamed in the Shield Warrior's eyes.

The Vice Guild Master of Overbearing Guild had issued a kill order: whoever could capture the person accompanied by the Black Dragon would receive a 200,000 chinese yuan reward.

Although the Shield Warrior was only Level 5, he could easily deal with a newcomer, no matter what.

Thinking this, he immediately jumped out from the side, blocking Li Changkong's path.

Looking at the suddenly appearing Shield Warrior, Li Changkong slightly frowned: “What?”

“Don't you know you've provoked our Overbearing Guild, kid?”

“A 200,000 chinese yuan reward, and I finally caught you.”

The Shield Warrior's face was full of smugness, as if the 200,000 chinese yuan was already within his grasp.

As he spoke, he pulled out a large shield.

Without waiting for Li Changkong to ask further, he raised his shield and smashed it towards him.

“Seeking death.”

Seeing the Shield Warrior charge forward, Li Changkong had no intention of letting Black Flame attack.

Instead, he lifted one foot and kicked the opposing shield.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the Shield Warrior's body was instantly sent flying more than ten meters, crashing heavily into a nearby tree.

Li Changkong had only used about 30% of his strength for that kick.

He hadn't expected it to cause such great power.

Shield Warriors were always known for their sturdiness, so being kicked more than ten meters away was indeed somewhat terrifying.

This scene also attracted the attention of some surrounding small teams; seeing that the one kicked away was a tank, they were naturally very surprised.

“This guy, he kicked a tank flying with one kick? How strong must his Strength attribute be?”

“He has a Black Dragon following him, could he be a Summoner?”

“Looking at his clothes, he seems to be a freshman. Are the freshmen of this generation already so terrifying?”

...

The surrounding teams exclaimed in surprise after witnessing this scene.

Some people also recognized that this seemed to be the person Overbearing Guild was hunting.

But because of Li Changkong's kick just now, no one dared to step forward.

“When I entered the dungeon just now, you gave a reminder, which counts as saving your life,” Li Changkong said coldly, looking at the wailing Shield Warrior on the ground.

Upon hearing this, the Shield Warrior was both shocked and delighted, retreating repeatedly.

At this moment, he also understood that this newcomer was not someone he could provoke.

“By the way, what is this Overbearing Guild you mentioned?” Li Changkong asked the Shield Warrior, somewhat puzzled.

The Shield Warrior was extremely grateful that Li Changkong would let him go.

Hearing Li Changkong's question, he quickly explained the entire situation from beginning to end.

Upon learning that he had inadvertently provoked a guild, Li Changkong couldn't help but smile wryly.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it; after all, trouble had already come knocking, and it would probably be difficult to avoid it.

“The one who solo-cleared the Gloomy Secret Realm just now, could it be this kid?” someone in the crowd suddenly realized.

“Impossible, he's just a newcomer. No matter how strong he is, can he clear the Gloomy Secret Realm?” someone immediately retorted.

Even these experienced veterans needed to team up, let alone a novice who had just started.

Even if some didn't believe it, once this question was raised, it immediately sparked a heated discussion.

Li Changkong naturally didn't know about any of this; he had already returned to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

This time in the Secret Realm, Li Changkong had harvested over fifty zombie teeth.

And these fifty-plus zombie teeth brought Li Changkong 100,000 chinese yuan in income.

There weren't many Transcenders who went to the Gloomy Secret Realm dungeon, so zombie teeth naturally became a hot commodity.

It was perfectly reasonable for one zombie tooth to sell for 2,000 chinese yuan.

After getting the 100,000 chinese yuan, Li Changkong went straight home.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Li Wanwan sitting on a mat, stretching her body.

The Body Refining Technique was a basic course at school, designed to strengthen the body as much as possible before Awakening.

Only by having a well-trained body would the base attributes be higher after Awakening.

Moreover, according to some research, people with better Physiques had a higher probability of Awakening Advanced combat professions.

Li Changkong's base attributes were mediocre after Awakening precisely because he hadn't trained his body well before.

However, with the help of his unique profession, these basic attributes could essentially be ignored.

“Brother,” Li Wanwan sweetly called out when she saw Li Changkong return.

“Are you training your body? Do you want me to teach you?” Li Changkong nodded, placing the bought food on the table.

“Really? Yes!” Li Wanwan's eyes lit up as she said, quite surprised.

Li Changkong had a solid grasp of the school's basic courses; his basic attributes were only mediocre due to insufficient nutrition in the past.

“This movement should be done like this,” Li Changkong extended a hand, patiently guiding Li Wanwan and correcting her posture.

[Experience Transfer target detected. Do you wish to transfer Experience?]

The sudden voice made Li Changkong slightly stunned.

He hadn't expected that even skill experience could be transferred.

“Experience Transfer,” Li Changkong immediately nodded.

[Transferred 100 points of Experience.]

[Hundredfold Experience Transfer triggered, returning 10,000 points of Physique Experience.]

[Physique Experience automatically converted to 10 Physique.]

This critical hit only triggered a hundredfold experience, but it still allowed Li Changkong to gain a full ten points of Physique, which was equivalent to gaining one level.

Li Wanwan, who was still struggling with the obscure Body Refining Technique, suddenly felt a lightness in her mind.

Immediately after, some knowledge she hadn't understood instantly became clear.

Her previously somewhat unstandardized movements were quickly adjusted by herself.

“Brother, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like I understand everything,” Li Wanwan looked at Li Changkong with some confusion, tilting her head.

“It's best if you understand. Then you should practice well; I'll rest for a bit,” Li Changkong smiled faintly, not intending to reveal the reason.

...

Today was the day the hot list for the National Transcender Exam was announced.

This day was not only eagerly awaited by ordinary students, but it was also a hot topic even for colleges.

Many college admissions officers were currently focusing their attention on the Transcender hot list.
