Storm Arrow! Instantly destroys the corrupted giant bear! A chance encounter with an acquaintance.

"Fire Flame Strength!"

Flames erupted around Ye Xingyu!

He was completely enveloped in fire.

This was a buff effect unique to the "Blazing Flame" hidden class.

Though the fire burned fiercely,

it naturally couldn't harm him in the slightest.

With Fire Flame Strength activated,

Ye Xingyu's magic shot critical hit rate instantly increased by 100%!

For enemies without critical resistance, this meant a guaranteed critical hit!

It also ignored 35% of the opponent's fire resistance!

It's safe to say this buff was simple and brutal!

Ahead was a group of approximately 88 Corrupted Grizzly Bears.

It seemed that nearby players lacked the ability to clear them,

so they were clustered very closely together.

However, no other player teams dared to approach and harass them.

Ye Xingyu's target was this large group of Corrupted Grizzly Bears.

Facing these monsters, he immediately tested his newest skill.

"Storm Arrow!"

"Boom!"

An intense heat surged into Ye Xingyu's hands.

In that instant, he felt omnipotent!

Upon activation,

his shooting speed temporarily increased by 400%!

And he unconditionally gained fire element enchantment!

When Storm Arrow was active, attacks ignored 35% of the opponent's fire defense!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

With shooting speed beyond the limit,

Ye Xingyu aimed directly at all the Corrupted Grizzly Bears and began firing!

With his current stats,

his normal shooting speed was about 5 arrows per second.

After a 400% skill boost, that meant he could shoot 20 arrows per second!

This was an enormous increase!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

...Because once "Storm Arrow" was activated, it couldn't be stopped.

To maximize its effectiveness, Ye Xingyu had no intention of stopping from the very beginning.

He focused intently, pushing his shooting technique to the extreme!

Countless flaming arrows burst forth continuously from Ye Xingyu's longbow!

Targeting all the Corrupted Grizzly Bears,

unleashing a stormy arrow baptism!

The practical effect of "Storm Arrow"

was just like its name.

No less than a storm of flaming arrows!

"Boom!"

In just 5 seconds,

Ye Xingyu fired 101 arrows consecutively!

The extra one might have been triggered as the buff ended.

A continuous Arrow Rain erupted like a volcanic eruption,

fiercely striking all the Corrupted Grizzly Bears on their bodies,

chests,

thighs,

and even their foreheads!

The group of Corrupted Grizzly Bears was instantly stunned.

Since their birth,

they had never witnessed such a scene.

Before the Corrupted Grizzly Bears could react,

Ye Xingyu completed this furious, storm-like attack!

"-120249!" (Critical Hit!)

"-120249!" (Critical Hit!)

"-120249!" (Critical Hit!)

"-120249!" (Critical Hit!)

...Rows of massive fiery red numbers flew up above the heads of all the Corrupted Grizzly Bears simultaneously!

The numbers were too large!

Not a single Corrupted Grizzly Bear could withstand it.

Under Ye Xingyu's overwhelming firepower,

over 88 Corrupted Grizzly Bears quickly fell to the ground in this Swift Shot of flaming arrows!

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

...Not a single one was an exception.

After just 5 seconds,

the group of Corrupted Grizzly Bears, which had been gathered together

and looked intimidating,

turned into a pile of corpses within five seconds.

Even on their bear carcasses after death,

wisps of unburned flames still lingered.

Ye Xingyu's damage was too high for the Corrupted Grizzly Bears!

Incredibly high!

Fire Flame Strength buff bonus,

Storm Arrow's own buff bonus,

Blazing Flame class's talent and constitution bonus,

plus Ye Xingyu's newly replaced weapons and equipment.

Even his critical damage bonus increased from the original 0% to a whopping 120%!

For Ye Xingyu, who had 100% critical hit rate,

it was a direct 1.2 times damage bonus!

Therefore, the Corrupted Grizzly Bears couldn't withstand the damage of his full-buffed attack.

In this round of Storm Arrow,

some Corrupted Grizzly Bears even received an extra arrow's output from Ye Xingyu after they had already died,

due to falling too slowly.

This resulted in some loss of arrow damage.

But,

it didn't matter.

Because Ye Xingyu had completely annihilated the Corrupted Grizzly Bear group.

He, alone, defeated a group!

"Prompt: Killed Corrupted Grizzly Bear, gained 651 experience points."

"Prompt: Killed Corrupted Grizzly Bear, gained 651 experience points."

...The experience bonus from fighting higher-level monsters,

plus the King-level leveling buff experience bonus,

made the experience points Ye Xingyu gained from the Corrupted Grizzly Bears

several times higher than from the previous low-level monsters!

However,

he didn't come to Linyuan City to level up this time.

Grinding experience was just a side benefit.

Soon after,

Ye Xingyu moved through several more areas.

Any Corrupted Grizzly Bears he encountered along the way were instantly eliminated with a raise of his hand.

Just as Ye Xingyu was getting closer and closer to the end of the Corrupted Zone,

a voice that sounded incredibly surprised suddenly came from the west: "Ye Xingyu? What brings you here?"

He turned his head to look.

He saw Qian Liang, White Crystal Pearl, Feng Yalong, Liu Hui, Sun Ningning... and several other old acquaintances

who were grinding monsters not far away.

Their team had roughly over a hundred people.

Seeing Ye Xingyu arrive,

Qian Liang and White Crystal Pearl immediately walked towards him.

White Crystal Pearl had her standard perfunctory 'sycophant' smile on her face.

Believing she had struck a graceful pose, she tossed her hair and invited Ye Xingyu:

"Xingyu, so you came too~"

"Last time we met, we parted in a hurry and didn't get to talk much seriously."

"This time is perfect, the dark creatures in this area can drop lifespan items~"

"How about we all team up? (✪ω✪)"

After speaking,

she led a group of people and actively walked up to Ye Xingyu.

Someone in their team exclaimed in surprise: "What! He's your classmate?"

"Isn't that Fallen Sky God!"

"Oh my god! The awe-inspiring Fallen Sky God in the game is a classmate of our seniors?"

"!!!"

Many people in the team widened their eyes in astonishment!

Their expressions were extremely shocked.

"Since Fallen Sky God is a classmate of our seniors, then our relationship can at least be called alumni, wahahahaha~~~"

"I can't believe Fallen God and I are alumni!"

"He's really giving our university a good name!"

...White Crystal Pearl and Qian Liang... and others felt very pleased upon hearing this.

They showed expressions of enjoyment.

It seemed that knowing Ye Xingyu, who was currently recognized as the number one person in Xia Kingdom in deep space,

made them feel very accomplished.

A flicker of barely perceptible jealousy crossed Qian Liang's eyes.

But in this situation,

he had no choice but to act as if he had a very good relationship with Ye Xingyu.

Qian Liang enthusiastically invited:

"Ye Xingyu, long time no see! It's rare for us old classmates of 4 years to reunite in the game today. This is fate!"

"Since we're all here to grind dark creatures, why don't we just do it together!"

"Look, White Crystal Pearl, Feng Yalong, Liu Hui, and the others are all here."

"Everyone else is also a junior from Anhai University."

"Hahahaha! It's so much fun playing games together!"

Ye Xingyu was utterly speechless at this hopeless guy in front of him.

He might pretend that what happened last time didn't happen.

But Ye Xingyu couldn't do that.

They had clearly parted on bad terms last time.

Why was he pretending to be so enthusiastic today?

Qian Liang immediately saw that Ye Xingyu harbored resentment towards him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept a cold face after seeing their group.

He feigned familiarity and said: "You! You're not still blaming us for what happened when we met in the oasis last time, are you?"

"That's all in the past, don't worry, it won't affect our relationship!"

"And why didn't you tell us last time that you were Fallen Sky God, who is currently soaring in deep space?"

"It ended up being quite awkward."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong last time, I shouldn't have underestimated you."

"Who would have thought you alone could be so powerful? Hahahaha!"

"I'm apologizing to you here, consider it my atonement, okay."

"Ding! System prompt: Player 'Handsome' invites you to join the team. Do you accept?"

Qian Liang was frantically winking at Ye Xingyu, signaling him to quickly join the group.

"Ding! Your invitation has been rejected!"

Ye Xingyu glared at Qian Liang.

He simply replied with one word: "Scram!"

Behind him, the faces of White Crystal Pearl, Feng Yalong, Liu Hui, and the others immediately turned green.

"Damn it! We completely enraged Ye Xingyu last time!"
