The corners of the clothes are slightly dirty, black fog!
He jumped, then slashed.
Wu Bing, as a former professional player, rarely used this move.
Because at the moment of being airborne, he was full of weaknesses.
However, facing Lin Xuan,
He didn't have such worries.
After all, this method of exploiting weaknesses was a course taught in professional player training.
Ordinary professional players rarely thought in this direction.
In fact,
Lin Xuan indeed didn't understand much.
He hadn't studied martial arts-related knowledge, and he rarely had proper battles with professional players.
After all, under 800 times the punch power, all beings were equal.
Of course,
The premise that Lin Xuan didn't understand was that he didn't care.
At this moment, looking at Wu Bing's fierce move, he didn't even bother to dodge.
"It would be too quick to instant-kill you, let me see your strength."
Lin Xuan smiled lightly, taking the blow head-on.
-96800!
The moment the damage value appeared, Lin Xuan used Void Walk to flash beside the man and delivered a whip kick.
At this moment, the man once again fell short of a professional player's standard.
After landing, he didn't use a displacement skill to dodge the kick to his lower back, taking a solid hit from Lin Xuan, and only managed to stabilize himself after retreating nearly ten meters.
"How is that possible! How much health do you have?!"
Wu Bing looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief, feeling his worldview collapse.
That strike he just delivered, although it had a big weakness, was a max-level skill.
It was a skill specially prepared to deal with monsters, capable of dealing six times physical damage with one strike!
With such high damage, let alone a squishy Necromancer like Lin Xuan, who was around level sixty.
Even Liu Da Erduo, who was level one hundred thirty next to Lin Xuan, couldn't withstand it!
Only tank-type warriors among top professional players could withstand two moves.
"There's no flash on his body, so it shouldn't be a full-health triggered Named Blade. Then what's going on with this strike?"
"Does he really have over a hundred thousand health?"
Wu Bing couldn't believe it, and he couldn't even bring himself to believe it.
This was completely unscientific, no, un-magical!
"So this is the strength of a professional player?" Lin Xuan flicked his shoulder, indicating his clothes were slightly dirty, then smiled and said, "A bit weak, aren't you?"
Lin Xuan didn't know Wu Bing's attribute and damage bonus ratios.
He could only roughly estimate.
If one point of Wu Bing's strength attribute added twenty points of physical damage,
Excluding skill bonuses,
Then his strength attribute might be around eight hundred seventy points.
According to the professional player information Lin Xuan had checked, this was in the upper-middle tier.
To be honest, this was truly weak.
A first-tier professional player, if they only focused on one attribute, at level ninety-nine, their bare attribute would be around two hundred ten points.
If they had a full set of level ninety-nine equipment, their attribute would probably be around three hundred fifty points.
This was for a normal professional player.
If they were a bit luckier and gained some attributes from clearing dungeons or killing BOSSes,
Stronger professional players would have attributes around four hundred fifty points.
And after this, there was a watershed.
Usually, with equipment, a single attribute breaking five hundred was the entry-level for professional players.
Normally, after playing for a year or two, like Wu Bing, their attribute should be around seven hundred points.
But now, Wu Bing had been retired for over ten years, and his attribute had only increased to eight hundred points.
He had either become too comfortable after retirement or his mentality had collapsed, losing his ambition.
One must know that when a first-tier professional player breaks through to the second tier, their attributes double.
This means that the higher the attributes accumulated while stuck at level ninety-nine, the higher the starting point when breaking through to the second tier.
Because of this, many people intentionally stay at a certain level to farm attributes for a year or two.
Currently, the longest a player has been stuck at level ninety-nine globally is a professional player named Wang Wenjian from Xia Country.
He has been stuck at level ninety-nine for a full one hundred nine years!
He's over one hundred thirty years old now, with a full head of white hair, just stubbornly refusing to level up.
His classic quote is, if he doesn't use up all one hundred fifty years of the first tier, he feels it's a bit of a waste...
Of course, lifespan is one thing.
The attribute doubling after advancement is a solid increase in combat power.
Wu Bing didn't choose to level up after retirement, surely also wanting to farm more attributes.
It just seems now that he's wasted.
"Weak?!" Wu Bing gritted his teeth, "You dare say I'm weak?!"
Looking at Lin Xuan's disdainful expression, a surge of anger rose in Wu Bing's stomach.
Although he was a retired player and had never won a championship,
He had never been called weak by a non-professional player!
Buzz—
The long blade in his hand trembled, emitting a jingling sound.
"Lin Xuan, right?"
"Since you say I'm weak, then I'll show you what professional player strength is!"
Whoosh! He suddenly raised the long blade high into the air.
Immediately after, golden magic power surged into the long blade from the air.
"Demon-Breaking Blade, Extreme Break!"
Extreme Break, this was a move gained after a skill reached level ten, by comprehending the skill's profound meaning and sublimating the skill.
It could greatly enhance the skill's power.
The Demon-Breaking Blade skill could increase physical damage up to ten times and had a chance to break the opponent's magic attacks.
After Extreme Break, it was very likely to increase to around twenty times.
With such damage, one strike.
It was completely with the momentum of killing Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan shook his head.
He had already tested the strength of a professional player earlier, and now he had completely lost interest in this move.
Void Walk activated, and Splitting Mount Hua, with its eight hundred times physical damage bonus, blasted out.
Boom—
With one palm, Wu Bing's figure flew backward like a broken sack.
He smashed through a small mountain before landing on the ground, his life unknown.
And in this place, only adozens-meter-long gully and a few professional players hired by the Song Family Chamber of Commerce remained.
The few professional players were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Mercy, great master, mercy!"
Thud!
The few of them knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
Lin Xuan waved his hand, indicating he wasn't interested in them.
Even Wu Bing should still be alive at this moment, and he couldn't be bothered to deal with him.
Because if he had died, Lin Xuan should have received a kill notification and turned red-named by now.
Lin Xuan looked beside him.
At this moment, Liu Da Erduo was utterly dumbfounded.
He knew Lin Xuan's strength was great, but he never expected it to be this strong.
One slap sent a professional player flying out of sight?
Was this truly power that humans could possess?
Also,
He remembered Lin Xuan was an Necromancer, right?
How could an Necromancer's physical damage be so high?!
Liu Da Erduo was completely bewildered.
Lin Xuan saw his confused expression and shook his head helplessly.
He still remembered the purpose of coming here and quickly patted Liu Da Erduo's shoulder.
Being patted on the shoulder, Liu Da Erduo reacted and quickly bowed to Lin Xuan in thanks.
He even prepared to open his small treasury, letting Lin Xuan choose any items and equipment inside as a thank-you gift.
Lin Xuan wasn't interested in this and pulled Liu Da Erduo aside.
Seeing that the Song Family Chamber of Commerce people couldn't hear them,
He then told Liu Da Erduo about the matter after reporting the Divine Grace Cemetery anomaly to the military.
Upon hearing this, Liu Da Erduo had a momentary thought of not going.
Small merchants like them,
Actually, more or less, had done some things that violated professional player laws.
It was just that there wasn't enough supervision now, so as long as it wasn't too serious, many people naturally lived in peace.
Liu Da Erduo was naturally a bit cowardly.
However, he was a grateful person, so after thinking about it, he agreed to go to the military camp with Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan."
Just as Liu Da Erduo agreed, a shout came from not far away.
Lin Xuan turned his head and saw that it was Chen Wanqiu and Zhang Fan.
"We saw the commotion here, and sure enough, it's you guys."
Zhang Fan smiled at Lin Xuan and sized up Liu Da Erduo.
"This must be Liu Da... Brother Liu, right? So, has Lin Xuan told you about the matter?"
Liu Da Erduo looked at Zhang Fan in his military uniform, swallowed, and nodded.
"Alright, then let's go quickly." Zhang Fan waved his hand, "Time is tight, do you all have flying mounts? Let's fly directly to the camp."
As his voice fell, Zhang Fan summoned a griffon.
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw it, almost climbing onto it.
"Not bad, Old Zhang, quite handsome."
"Hehe, luck, luck. I picked up this mount egg."
"How about it, wanna ride with me?"
"Tch..." Lin Xuan pursed his lips and summoned his purple golden gourd.
"Damn, you're talking about me, but this gourd is much rarer than my griffon."
"Just average, someone gave it to me. I didn't even want it at the time, but they insisted." Lin Xuan chuckled and leaped onto the purple golden gourd.
But immediately after, he realized something was off.
He quickly looked at Chen Wanqiu.
Chen Wanqiu's face was devoid of any expression as she calmly rode on a black and white panda.
"..."
Liu Da Erduo was numb.
He glanced at his small treasury and silently summoned a flying broom.
In comparison, he suddenly felt that he wasn't a merchant.
These few people in front of him were.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The four mounts had just lifted off, not yet moving.
A strong gust of wind suddenly swept through.
Immediately after, the sky turned dark, and everything around them became a thick black mist!

Tomorrow's two chapters will be late. I only got home from work after 10 PM tonight.
