16: All parties scrambled for it, and the boss was killed in seconds.

According to the information, this Calamity Herald will respawn every four hours after being killed.

The token it carries only has a chance to drop when it is killed by a Professional who has received a promotion quest.

Of course, if we follow this rule, the difficulty of this promotion quest is imaginable.

However, this doesn't stump the Professionals of the Eternal World.

As early as decades ago, someone discovered that as long as there was a Professional with a promotion quest in their team, they could also obtain the promotion token after killing the Calamity Herald.

And this is where the role of the Legion comes into play.

If it's just a simple team-up, the maximum number of people in a team is 20.

But a Legion is different; depending on the Legion's level, the number of people in a Legion team can range from 100 to 1,000.

This naturally greatly increases the drop rate of the promotion token.

Otherwise, even if 100 Calamity Heralds respawned simultaneously each time, it would not be enough for so many new Professionals to get promoted each year.

Of course, there is another way.

That is, new Professionals can choose to pay to reset the promotion quest.

But each reset costs 50,000 eternal coins.

This is also the fundamental reason why the three major Legions of Black Sand City charge relatively low fees.

Ye Xiao didn't know when the Calamity Herald would respawn next.

So he could only lie on a large tree, observing the movements below while waiting quietly.

Below, at this moment, the atmosphere between the two groups of people, one belonging to the Black Tiger Legion and the other to the Silver Dragon Legion, was somewhat tense.

However, due to the distance, Ye Xiao couldn't hear what these people were saying.

--- ---

At this moment below, the two sides were still in a standoff.

On the left, uniformly dressed in black clothing with a large golden tiger embroidered on their chests, were the people of the Black Tiger Legion.

Among this group, the leader was a burly man over two meters tall.

The big man was the Legion Commander of the Black Tiger Legion, with the ID Lei Laohu.

At this moment, Lei Laohu glared forward with eyes like copper bells, full of anger.

"Kuang Long, what exactly do you mean? Didn't our three families sign an agreement long ago to take turns guarding the Calamity Herald? Are you trying to tear up the agreement now?"

Hearing this, the handsome man leading the Silver Dragon Legion on the opposite side snorted coldly.

"Agreement? Originally, it was our Silver Dragon Legion's turn tomorrow, and the Golden Phoenix Legion's the day after, but now Snow Phoenix that woman has taken it over, so according to the agreement, I can only advance one day, after all, my Silver Dragon Legion cannot suffer a loss."

"Bullshit! That woman snatched your time, you go find her yourself!" Lei Laohu roared, "Are you coming to snatch my Black Tiger Legion's time now because you think I'm easier to bully than Snow Phoenix that woman?"

Kuang Long scoffed.

"You do have some self-awareness; in Black Sand City, your Black Tiger is the weakest. Before, I didn't bother to conflict with you out of respect for the person behind you, but now..."

Before Kuang Long could finish, Lei Laohu instantly exploded in rage.

"Don't you dare look down on people! Do you really think my Black Tiger will be afraid of you?!"

"Then why don't you try to make a move?" Kuang Long said disdainfully.

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the Black Tiger Legion's side glared angrily and started to shout.

At the same time, the Silver Dragon Legion also made their moves.

Lei Laohu could no longer hold back at this moment, immediately raising his weapon and roaring, "Brothers, today let them see the strength of our Black Tiger Legion!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing soared into the sky, and some Professionals watching from the periphery were startled by the Black Tiger Legion's action, moving back a few steps.

They were afraid of being caught in the upcoming battle.

Kuang Long saw the Black Tiger Legion's action, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.

He calmly raised his weapon.

A great battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

Ye Xiao, seeing this scene, also became interested.

He had only seen battles of this scale in school textbooks.

He hadn't expected to witness one firsthand just one day after entering the Eternal World.

It could be considered a good experience.

However, just at this moment.

The originally calm Secluded Pool suddenly erupted with a fierce, foul-smelling aura.

Immediately followed by a terrifying roar that echoed throughout the entire canyon.

At this instant, the faces of the two Legions, originally at daggers drawn, and the surrounding spectators, all changed.

"It's the Calamity Herald!"

"The Calamity Herald has respawned!"

...Indeed, as exclamations came from the crowd.

A gigantic claw emerged from the water, pale like a skeleton of death, covered in festering black scales.

Immediately after, its massive body slowly rose, revealing its head, which seemed to be condensed from darkness.

Its eyes were as deep as pool water, emitting a cold, purple glow.

As the monster fully ascended, its huge body was shrouded in a deep purplish-black, permeated with a putrid stench.

An indescribable sense of oppression filled the air.

Ye Xiao, hiding on the high ground, quickly scrutinized this suddenly appearing boss.

--- ---

[Calamity Herald (Boss)]

[Level: 30]

[Health: 100000]

[Attack: 1500]

[Defense: 1000]

[Skills: Void Touch, Poison Mist Spread, Dark Impact, Evil Devour]

[Description: A mixture of solemn and evil aura intertwines on its massive body, as if it is an ominous deity from the realm of death.]

--- ---

Seeing the Calamity Herald's stats, Ye Xiao couldn't help but shake his head.

Even a Level 90 Professional would find it extremely difficult to solo this boss.

Let alone new Professionals who had just reached Level 30.

No wonder after so many years, no one opposed the three major Legions taking advantage of this situation to accumulate wealth.

If it weren't for the help of his transcendent Talent, he probably would have had to honestly pay them for help.

At this moment below, the Black Tiger Legion and the Silver Dragon Legion also temporarily ceased their conflict.

Lei Laohu looked at the boss and said, "Kuang Long, since neither of us will yield, let's each rely on our own abilities."

Kuang Long sneered, not responding.

Instead, he took the lead and charged towards the Calamity Herald.

Lei Laohu was furious, "You have no martial ethics!"

After saying that, he quickly led his subordinates to charge towards the boss.

The Calamity Herald had just awakened when it saw hundreds of people charging at him, immediately feeling its authority challenged, and instantly let out an earth-shattering roar.

Dozens of black tentacles suddenly burst forth from its body, covered in festering scales.

Void Touch!

The massive tentacles instantly enveloped the entire Secluded Pool.

This sight filled the onlookers on the periphery with dread.

As expected of a boss.

This single move was something they couldn't withstand.

However, facing the Calamity Herald's attack, the two sides showed no fear.

In this world, no one understood this boss's attack patterns better than them.

Everyone, as if they had practiced thousands of times, instantly dodged all of the boss's attacks.

Immediately, taking advantage of the Calamity Herald's attack interval, the two Legion Commanders quickly directed their subordinates to launch a fierce assault on the boss.

In an instant, the entire canyon was filled with various energies, the momentum shaking the heavens.

The boss's health was also slowly dropping.

After one round of attacks, the Calamity Herald struck again.

The people below moved extremely fast, scattering to dodge the boss's skills.

Ye Xiao, seeing this, couldn't help but sigh.

Most people really couldn't do it as easily as they did.

As expected of those who make a living from this.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the boss was killed by these two Legions.

Ye Xiao naturally couldn't continue to stand by and watch.

He flipped his palm.

Fireball, mixed with a wisp of black energy, directly hit the boss.

"Boom boom boom."

Although the distance was far, thanks to the boss's large size, Ye Xiao's Fireball skill hit the boss without missing a single one.

Instantly, scorching flames covered the boss's entire body.

A series of damage numbers floated in Ye Xiao's information bar.

--- ---

-577 (Fireball Damage)

-5.7 (Venomous Assault Damage)

-572

-11.4 (Venomous Assault 2 Stacks Damage)

...-6873 (Venomous Assault Max Stacks Damage)

--- ---

Seeing these magnificent damage values, Ye Xiao smiled slightly.

Two Fireballs plus the damage from Venomous Assault at max stacks.

In just 1 second, Ye Xiao directly dealt over 40,000 points of damage to the Calamity Herald.

Ye Xiao didn't pause, continuously casting Fireball.

After three seconds.

The Calamity Herald suddenly let out an earth-shattering wail.

Then, under the astonished gazes of countless people below, it crumbled into ashes.

--- ---

[Ding! You have killed the Calamity Herald, congratulations on obtaining the promotion token.]
