52: The third young master of the Cheng family!

"Fifty percent chance of disarming!"

"That's strange, why is the chance of disarming so high today? Has Lucky descended?"

The fatty was in front, using his Talent ability, while Xia Qi followed behind him. After a few monsters, the two had started to look like a proper team.

However, the fatty grew increasingly surprised along the way. The "Fifty percent chance of disarming" Talent usually didn't have such a high trigger rate.

Depending on the user's state, ability, Physique, and other conditions, reaching a one-in-four success rate for the so-called "Fifty percent chance of disarming" would already be Heaven-Defying.

Yet, so far, the two had encountered dozens of monsters, and the fatty had always been in the lead, with his Talent successfully activating every time.

This was truly terrifying!

With such a high control Talent, coupled with Xia Qi's exaggerated and violent output, the two swept through everything, resolving battles effortlessly.

"Is this nightmare difficulty? It doesn't seem as terrifying as the rumors say."

The fatty casually swung his longsword into the air. An Inferno Wild Boar fearlessly took the blade, then was struck down by a Divine Lightning from Xia Qi.

This series of actions felt much simpler than killing Rank one novice monsters.

This filled the fatty with confidence, as if nightmare difficulty was nothing special, even giving him the illusion that it was easier than normal difficulty.

But in reality, all the damage was dealt by Xia Qi. The fatty's only role was to tank in the front, providing crowd control or taking hits.

This wasn't because nightmare difficulty was easy, but because Xia Qi was too strong.

They continued without a word.

For the first time in his life, the fatty experienced such an easy feeling of killing monsters, and he was completely immersed in it.

Meanwhile, Xia Qi observed the fatty's Talent ability while killing monsters.

"From what I can see, this Talent's trigger rate has reached seventy percent with the blessing of Lucky."

This data was obtained by Xia Qi after analyzing the results of killing over a hundred monsters with the fatty.

The error was basically no more than one percent.

As an S-Rank passive Talent, Lucky had no combat skills, but its support ability was undoubtedly very powerful.

It could not only affect item drop rates but also increase the success rate of probabilistic Talents.

This was something Xia Qi hadn't thought of before.

It seemed the Lucky Talent was also very extraordinary.

"It seems Lucky's ranking should be before other A-Rank Talents, after Fiery Heart and Sword Intent."

Xia Qi's mind raced. The number of augmentations was limited, so he had to prioritize important Talents to achieve the strongest combat power before the college entrance examination.

Although the Awakening Potion would arrive in two days, and his Dual Pupils' Rank could be further improved, it didn't affect his current plan.

As for the "Fifty percent chance of disarming," it seemed to be working well so far and could be considered for a higher Rank.

An hour later, the Inferno Boar King finally fell under their combined efforts, and the nightmare difficulty [Inferno Wild Boar] dungeon was cleared.

[Successfully killed Level 20 Inferno Boar King, Experience + 60000]

[Obtained Inferno Armor]

[Obtained Boar King Tusks x2]

[Obtained Beast King Core x1]

Xia Qi and the fatty walked out of the dungeon, and it wasn't until they appeared at the familiar dungeon entrance that the fatty snapped out of his dreamlike leveling bliss.

"Oh my god, that Inferno Boar King really had no power to resist at all. We just cut through it like melons and vegetables to clear the dungeon."

The fatty excitedly gesticulated, constantly making gestures.

Only by truly teaming up with Xia Qi could one experience how easy and enjoyable clearing a dungeon could be.

Unlike before, when every time was a cautious, life-and-death struggle to painstakingly raise one's Rank.

Xia Qi leading a nightmare difficulty run today was equivalent to several days of experience gain for the fatty.

So this was what it felt like to be carried by a big shot!

It was truly exhilarating!

"Brother, what do you want to eat? I have everything here."

The fatty pulled out several boxes of expensive food from his storage space and, without a word, handed them to Xia Qi.

He couldn't just freeload; the fatty, who had shared Xia Qi's experience, understood that even without him, Xia Qi could clear the nightmare difficulty alone.

"Anything is fine."

Xia Qi had actually prepared a lot of food, but since the fatty was so enthusiastic, he didn't reject his kindness.

Other Professional, especially Li Ming, the fatty's high school classmate, were so astonished that their eyes almost popped out when they learned that Xia Qi had actually led the fatty through nightmare difficulty.

"How is that possible? The fatty is so Lucky, he actually ran into a big shot."

One must know that this was a nightmare difficulty dungeon; even a team of Level 30 A-Rank Professional would face great risks entering it.

But from the looks of the fatty and Xia Qi, they had clearly cleared it with ease.

"He really got damn Lucky."

Li Ming watched the smug fatty from a distance, chewing on his hardtack with displeasure.

However, this time he didn't dare to go up and mock him again. Xia Qi's strength might be terrifying, and there was no need to offend such a big shot.

Other Professional were basically similar to Li Ming. They were all small teams that had been grinding in dungeons for a long time, and they usually kept their distance from such taciturn big shots, seeing no need to invite trouble.

And so, Xia Qi and the fatty quietly cleared nightmare difficulty [Inferno Wild Boar] for three days straight. By the third night, it was time for Xia Qi to part ways with the fatty.

The favor of copying the Talent had been repaid.

Moreover, the black market had sent news that the Talent Potion had arrived.

"Brother Xia Qi, I'm really reluctant to see you go."

The fatty wasn't trying to keep taking advantage; he had genuinely grown fond of Xia Qi as a friend.

"Cheng Xiao, you can do it without me. Your Talent is truly strong."

Xia Qi knew the fatty had no ill intentions, but he couldn't keep leveling with the fatty forever.

"Really? You think I can do it too?"

Fatty Cheng Xiao thought Xia Qi was comforting him, but Xia Qi was actually speaking the truth.

The fatty's combat power was not weak, and he was thick-skinned with a high Physique.

As long as he spent money to learn some combat skills, with a Talent like "disarming" that defied rules, soloing a normal difficulty dungeon would be no problem at all.

After explaining the pros and cons to the fatty, before leaving, Xia Qi also left the fatty a set of Level 20 Bronze equipment.

At least for these past few days, the fatty had contributed a lot, and a set of equipment was something he could afford to give.

"Brother Xia Qi, if my other Talent hadn't been crippled, I could have carried you instead..."

Gazing at Xia Qi's departing back, Cheng Xiao sighed with a complex look. He had suffered greatly in Jiangcheng these past few months, and only with Xia Qi had he experienced warmth.

He pulled out his phone and dialed a Shengjing number.

"Tell them I'm returning to Shengjing tomorrow."

"Yes, Third Young Master..."
