19: Blue boss first kill, flash

"Lawless Outlaw?" Seeing Li Si remain silent for a long time, Qian Duoduo brought up the question again: whether Qian Miaomiao could be rated as a royal kiln.

"Perhaps...."

This question was difficult to answer.

Saying she could be rated as a royal kiln wasn't quite right. Saying she couldn't be rated as a royal kiln implied she was inferior to one, only fit to be a civilian kiln, which was even worse.

Li Si glanced at Qian Miaomiao out of the corner of his eye, their gazes meeting.

....Holy cow!

He wasn't heard, was he?

Thousands of alpacas stampeded in his mind, but Li Si maintained a calm smile on his face and nodded serenely.

Qian Miaomiao returned a similar smile and nod.

Seeing this, Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up: "Lawless Outlaw, why don't you become my sister's husband?"

"......"

Li Si was speechless again, unsure how to respond. The capitalist's little princess was untouchable. After a moment, he shook his head and said that he had no plans to get married for the time being.

"It's fine, not getting a certificate is okay, I understand," Qian Duoduo said with a lewd smile, thinking he understood Li Si's intentions. Did a figure like the Lawless Outlaw lack women? Of course not. If the Lawless Outlaw was interested, he could help persuade Qian Miaomiao to be a mistress.

".....Do you know what you're saying?" Li Si felt that Qian Duoduo's mind was a bit abnormal.

"Of course, I know. My old man has several women outside, and I'm too lazy to care. As long as he doesn't produce illegitimate children to compete with me for family property, let him play if he likes," Qian Duoduo said nonchalantly.

"......"

Li Si was speechless once again.

He sighed, thinking how extravagant rich people were. Qian Duoduo wasn't truly foolish, but rather played the fool in a cynical way. Such a person could be terrifying when serious.

In an instant, Li Si's impression of Qian Duoduo changed, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, as he and Qian Duoduo had no conflict of interest.

"Forget it, my sister and I are not fated."

Li Si stopped speaking and looked towards the battle ahead.

Qian Duoduo was very perceptive and didn't press the matter further. Since the Lawless Outlaw said there was no fate, there must be a reason for it.

Time passed, and more and more players gathered to surround the boss. From the initial hundred or so, there were now over three hundred.

The boss's health dropped faster and faster, and soon it was below 1000 points.

"Chirp!"

The boss became completely enraged, splitting into ten, and then unleashing its ultimate attack.

All ten clones simultaneously released Sharp Horn Storm.

Dense, shadowy sharp horns shot out, covering a vast area with a hundred-meter radius.

-1231!

-1321!

-1232!

-1225!

Instant kill, instant kill, instant kill.....

White light flashed.

All players touched by the sharp horns were instantly killed.

Li Si was also within the 100-meter radius of the Sharp Horn Storm and was struck by a shadowy sharp horn before he could dodge.

-1149!

His health plummeted by 58%.

"The damage is insane, good thing I'm tanky." Li Si's heart pounded. A blue boss was indeed formidable, instantly killing over three hundred players with one move.

"Ding!"

"Heaven Rewards Diligence, having experienced a great calamity and survived, you are bound to receive good fortune. Your physique has ascended, becoming even more robust."

"Physical damage below 3000 points is reduced by 5%."

"All damage reduction permanently +1%."

"....Nice."

Surviving a great calamity brings future blessings!

The ancients truly did not deceive me!

His current total damage reduction had accumulated to 2%.

Great joy.

When good things happen, one's spirit soars. At this moment, Li Si's spirit was exceptionally invigorated.

Qian Duoduo's voice came from behind him.

"Holy cow, Lawless Outlaw, good thing I was outside the 100-meter radius, otherwise I would have died."

"He took 1149 points of damage and he's not dead? He's powerful and on good terms with Duoduo. Could it be....he is the Lawless Madman?" A hundred meters away, Qian Miaomiao's eyes suddenly gleamed, as if she wanted to devour Li Si whole, tear him into 108 pieces, and drag him into her guild.

"Brothers, the boss is low on health, and its ultimate move is gone. This is our chance."

As a warrior player raised his arm and shouted, hundreds of nearby players rushed towards the boss.

Li Si was naturally among them.

However, he didn't charge directly but hid within the crowd, waiting for the final moment.

"With my current 1.6 attack speed, Phantom Sword Dance can unleash 16 sword qi in an instant."

Li Si silently calculated the damage, concluding that his execute threshold was around 800 points.

This was a huge advantage.

The golden skill, Phantom Sword Dance, was the fundamental reason why Li Si could remain calm throughout the battle.

With such a high execute threshold, who could possibly snatch it from him?

Time passed, and in just a few seconds, the boss's health had dropped below 800 points.

".....Success or failure depends on this one move!"

Li Si took a deep breath, activated Ghostly Swift Steps, and his movement speed instantly soared by 20%. He charged forward fearlessly, knocking down all players in his path, and reached the boss's front.

"Phantom Sword Dance."

In an instant, 16 sword qi unleashed, striking the boss.

-53!

-53!

-53!

.....

A cumulative 800+ physical damage instantly completed the health harvest, securing the final blow on the boss.

"Ding!"

"You killed Silver Light Sharp Horn Rabbit, gaining 15000 experience points. Killing it 14 levels above your own grants an additional 15000 experience points."

He got it! Is there an announcement?

Li Si was overjoyed and filled with anticipation. The next second, a system prompt popped up.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to Lawless Madman! You have killed Silver Light Sharp Horn Rabbit (Blue), becoming the first player in Mingyue Village to kill a blue monster. A regional announcement will now be made. Do you wish to hide your ID?"

"Do not hide."

Li Si decisively chose to reveal his ID.

Besides, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he couldn't hide it anyway. Being strong and drawing attention was inevitable, it was just a matter of time.

Since it couldn't be avoided, it was better to accept it calmly.

"Ding!"

"Heaven Rewards Diligence, facing an unavoidable choice and accepting it calmly, your state of mind has improved."

"Perception permanently +2."

".....Excellent."

Li Si glanced at his attribute panel.

His current Perception was 18 points, far ahead among the three hidden attributes. At this time, Luck and Charm were only 5 points, not even a fraction of Perception.

"Ding!"

"Mingyue Village Announcement: Congratulations to player -- Lawless Madman, for the first kill of a blue monster, obtaining the item -- skill comprehension book x1."

The regional announcement echoed repeatedly in players' ears.

At this moment, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Mingyue Village's chat channel erupted.

"The boss is dead."

"How disgusting, I just arrived at Silvermoon Forest."

"WC... So annoying!"

"Lawless Madman, it was him. A solo player actually snatched the boss."

"Friends who were there, tell us, how strong is the Lawless Outlaw?"

"Extremely awesome."

"Lawless Madman's attack speed is terrifying, dozens of swords in an instant, taking out over 800 health from the boss."

"Speechless, who could compete with that?"

"Disgusting."

"Boss is dead, I'm out of here."

"I'm going back to level up too."

"......"

Upon hearing the news of the boss's death, players returned one after another, no longer heading to Silvermoon Forest.

However, Fengyun Heavy Cavalry was not among them, still rushing at full speed, wanting to reach the boss's vicinity as early as possible.

"Lawless Madman? He actually snatched the boss. This is a good opportunity to recruit him."

"Boss, Qian Miaomiao is also near the boss, she might compete with you for Lawless Madman," Fengyun Little Knife said.

"Qian Miaomiao? She can't snatch him from me," Fengyun Heavy Cavalry said with immense confidence.

He had this confidence because the Wind and Cloud Guild was powerful, ranking among the top ten in all of Xia Kingdom. As for Qian Miaomiao, she was useless except for being rich. Her guild had just been established, not to mention she was a female player.

Just a female player, nothing to fear. Among the top ten guilds in Xia Kingdom, only one guild's leader was a female player. Although Qian Miaomiao was rich, in front of that female player, she was just a slightly stronger ant.

Silvermoon Forest, near the boss.

A dense divine light descended from the sky.

A golden scroll slowly fell.

Li Si wasn't in a hurry to reach out and grab it. Instead, he quickly took a step forward, collected the boss's corpse, and picked up the boss's drops. After completing these two tasks, the golden scroll just happened to land in front of him.

"Here it comes."

Li Si caught the golden scroll and unceremoniously crushed it.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations! You have comprehended and obtained the skill -- Flash (Golden)."

"Perception burst, a Flash of insight, upon first learning -- Flash, it has leveled up to Lv5."

"Current skill slots: 4 / 6."

Holy cow, another golden skill.

This is awesome, and this time it started at level 5, even better.

Li Si quickly opened his skill interface.

"Flash Lv5"

Quality: Golden

Active: Breaks through the surrounding space, shifting 20 meters away.

Requirements: 80 mana cost, 15-second cooldown.

Upgrade condition ①: 5 million experience points.

Upgrade condition ②: 5 Skill Upgrade Stones (Golden).

"......Awesome."

It was actually a displacement skill, with very impressive stats: long distance, short cooldown, definitely a life-saving divine skill.

The only drawback was that it was difficult to upgrade.

However, the minor flaw didn't overshadow the brilliance; Flash's awesomeness was beyond doubt.

Li Si felt a warmth in his heart.

Then, he took out the equipment dropped by the boss to check its attributes.
