Chapter 35 - 33: The Strongest Man in Jiang City

When people have not yet adapted to the Spirit Realm.When people are still hesitating in fear against level 1 ordinary monsters.

When countless men and women are shamelessly running naked in the forest.

Hang Yu has already started hunting level 3 elite monsters alone!

This gap is like when you are still pedaling a tricycle to make a living, I am already driving a BMW to pick up girls.

However, speaking of which, the Tree Spirit Guard is indeed tough and resilient.

Fortunately, Hang Yu is a wealthy tycoon who prepared plenty of arrows in advance, otherwise even knowing the method, it would be difficult to take it down.

About twenty minutes later.

The Tree Spirit Guard let out a low, mournful cry, the light in its eyes faded.

After several light spheres burst out from its body.

It became motionless, turning into a corpse.

"Finally killed this guy!"

Hang Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

Actually, the process was nerve-wracking.

If standing too close, I would definitely be instantly killed.

If standing too far, the crossbow’s damage effect would weaken.

Besides, even being very certain that the Tree Spirit Guard can’t attack me, I can’t guarantee that while I’m shooting happily in front, a single or a group of angry Green Hat Brothers might jump out suddenly from behind.

Fortunately.

Everything went smoothly.

A massive rush of Spiritual Qi crazily poured into my body.

It’s ten times more refreshing than drinking a big gulp of ice beer on a hot day!

The Tree Spirit Guard, worthy of a level 3 elite monster, generated plenty of Spiritual Qi, and since Hang Yu enjoyed it all by himself, the Spiritual Qi in his body rose from 90 to 105.

An increase of a full 15 points!

Just need to kill three more to level up to 3!

Hang Yu should have long leveled up to 3, but to learn the Stealth skill, he had to consume Spiritual Qi, which caused the delay... now it seems the effort was worth it!

The explosion rate of the Tree Spirit Guard was at least as high as the Goblin Corpse Thief.

But unlike before, this time he could enjoy all the loot by himself!

Currently, Spirit Realm assets are scarce, anything produced from the Spirit Realm is extremely valuable when brought to the real world, not to mention items dropped by level 3 elite monsters!

"Boots of the Tree Spirit Guard", level 4 equipment, white middle grade quality, Constitution +2, Magic Defense +2, Physical Defense +1, Movement Speed +1, part of the Tree Spirit Guard Set (requires three White Crystal Stones to bring to the real world.)

"Exquisite Blackwood Crossbow", level 2 equipment, gray upper grade quality, Physical Attack +3 (requires five Gray Crystal Stones to bring to the real world.)

"Tree Spirit’s Spiritual Power Fruit", white lower grade quality, permanently increases Spirit by 1 point, can consume a maximum of three pieces (requires three Gray Crystal Stones to bring to the real world.)

"Seedling of the Tree Spirit Guard", gray upper grade quality, can be planted to grow a tree spirit (requires two Gray Crystal Stones to bring to the real world.)

"White Spirit Realm Crystal Stone" ×3.

A piece of Light White Equipment, a piece of Bright Gray Equipment, two special items, three White Spirit Crystals.

Although there were no particularly surprising yields, overall it’s quite good, among them the Blackwood Crossbow is level 2 bright gray equipment, its damage and range are far superior to the Goblin Crossbow, it’s just right for use now.

What caught my attention the most is the boots of light white quality.

This piece of equipment, the Tree Spirit Guard Boots, turns out to be a level 4 equipment.

From a level 3 elite monster, surprisingly a level 4 equipment burst out, truly rare.

It’s not only a shoe with very good attributes, but also a component of a set.

The Tree Spirit Guardian Set consists of three pieces: upper garment, lower garment, boots, if all equipped, it will trigger the set effect, granting stronger magic defense and resistance boost, plus automatically granted the passive skill "Elf Breath".

In the early stages, it’s a very outstanding set of equipment!

Especially suitable for dealing with magic series monsters!

The reason Hang Yu came to this place extensively is mainly for this set.

As for the "Tree Spirit Fruit" and "Tree Spirit Seedling", although not equipment, they are very useful good items.

The former can permanently increase the maximum value of Spiritual Power by one point.

This kind of attribute-enhancing item is extremely valuable, never too many to have.

Hang Yu ate the fruit, only to feel a surge of energy flowing in his body, enhancing him in some aspect, increasing his maximum spiritual value from 12 points to 13 points!

"Great stuff, as far as I know, the explosion rate of this kind of fruit from the Tree Spirit Guard is quite high, but a person can eat at most three pieces, after three, it becomes ineffective."

"If I can obtain a permanent increase of 3 points in Spiritual Power, it will create a significant advantage in the early stages, and at some crucial moments it can even decide life and death. The long-term value of this fruit compared to a piece of white equipment is even higher."

"Yes, try to collect more, any extra can be used to exchange resources."

"Tree Spirit Seedling is also good, cultivate it well, plant it at home, it can serve as a guard."

Hang Yu swiftly recovered the arrows from the Tree Spirit Guard’s corpse, about one-quarter is damaged, but most can still be used one or two more times, even a small mosquito is still meat, save whenever possible.

Finally, used the Collection Skill on the Tree Spirit Guard.

The Tree Spirit Guard’s body rapidly shriveled, visibly turning into a piece of withered wood, from which a light sphere condensed, falling into Hang Yu’s hand, materials collected.

"Dim Spiritual Energy Gem", high-quality material, a gem containing energy and Spiritual Qi, although it can’t be directly absorbed, it is however a commonly used production material, (requires one White Crystal Stone to bring to the real world)

"Low Tier Tree Spirit Wood", high-quality material, wood collected from low tier tree spirits, (requires one White Crystal Stone to bring to the real world)

Materials themselves usually have no direct use.

But in certain situations, or in the hands of a producer, they can be of great value.

This kind of high-quality material is generally only collectable from certain elite monsters.

At least for now, it’s rare!

Hang Yu satisfactorily stashed them into his space: "A decent harvest, but I’ve got to hurry, must kill a few more before nightfall."

He once again started stealth operations, disappearing into the forest.

Carefully dodging Green Hat Brother while cautiously searching for hidden Tree Spirit Guards.

In the Spirit Realm, fighting monsters is not fundamentally different from hunting in the real world.

A zone for ordinary monsters could be a few hundred square kilometers.

So, imagining you could run through a map in a few minutes like in an online game, pulling dozens or hundreds of monsters to wipe out in one big move? That’s simply unrealistic!

Hang Yu searched for a good four to fifty minutes.

After narrowly avoiding two monkey groups, finally found another Tree Spirit Guard four or five kilometers away.

Hang Yu repeated his old tactics.

But due to the change of new equipment, each shot could knock off 2 points of health.

Even though the Tree Spirit Guard’s recovery is strong, it couldn’t withstand such continuous shooting, in less than eight minutes, he once again successfully eliminated another Tree Spirit Guard.

A piece of White Equipment, two pieces of Gray Equipment, a Tree Spirit Fruit, three White Spirit Realm Crystal Stones.

Hang Yu ate the Tree Spirit Fruit, unwaveringly continued his efforts.

When the fourth Tree Spirit Guard was killed.

It was already five hours later.

Hang Yu smoothly leveled up to 3, all attributes were greatly enhanced, if he’s not mistaken, with current power, agility, stamina, resistance, can roughly compare with Captain America in the movies.

Just how strong is the current state?

Hang Yu felt he could lift a small car with bare hands, when a grown man thrusts a fruit knife at him, he can use muscle power to wedge the blade.

Once he starts running, Bolt can only eat dust.

One punch could make Tyson cry for mom.

In simple terms, it has already surpassed the maximal limit of human constitution.

If similarly without equipment bonus in bare status, able to fight off two or three level 2 of his own, ten level 1 of his own difficult to get close.

Hang Yu wouldn’t claim to be the strongest man in the world.

At least in Jiang City, without using skills in a one-on-one fight, he already fears no macho man!

Within this population of over ten million, there are indeed experts, but whether it’s the king of special forces or a fighting guru, unless reaching level 3, all can be completely crushed, leaving them utterly helpless.

Just like a grandfather beating up a grandson.

That’s right!

Hang Yu believes, now himself, is the most robust man in Jiang City!
