NIP #492 - Achieving King Rank
#492 - Achieving King Rank
After enjoying the most luxurious SPA treatment, Tang Ping felt full of energy, and even the resentment towards the game in his stomach was swept away. Just then, the Sanren(散人: a player who doesn't belong to a guild) next to him suddenly held up a finger to him:
"Okay, buddy, it's time to go back and continue making money! Now is the best time to level up by eating pills. If we can make it into the arena in one fell swoop, we will definitely gain both fame and fortune!"
With that, he dragged Tang Ping away, and soon the two of them returned to the dim internet cafe once again. Tang Ping still seemed a little drowsy, and sat down in front of the computer in a daze, casually opening the game.
"Come, come, let's swallow these two pills first!"
Sanren(散人: a player who doesn't belong to a guild) cheerfully grabbed Tang Ping's hand and clicked a few times on the screen. Suddenly, two crystal clear pills exuding a mellow aroma appeared in front of them.
The two pills were emerald green, shaped like bezoar, and their surfaces were densely covered with layers of auspicious cloud-like mist, which looked quite mysterious and extraordinary. Below them, there was a line of small characters clearly annotated:
"After swallowing, it will directly increase the cultivation level by 4 levels, and at the same time, you can randomly obtain multiple attribute bonuses!"
"You guys really know how to create suspense!" Sanren(散人: a player who doesn't belong to a guild) let out a strange laugh, and without saying a word, he stuffed both pills into Tang Ping's mouth.
"Glug!" Tang Ping threw back his head and swallowed the two pills.
His eyes suddenly became incredibly bright! A faint auspicious light faintly appeared on his body, as if some majestic energy was about to burst out from the inside out. Beside him, the level value in the game interface also soared to level 40 with a 'whoosh'!
"Great! It seems it's time to go to that legendary arena for a big battle!" Sanren(散人: a player who doesn't belong to a guild) clapped his hands and shouted loudly.
With that, he manipulated Tang Ping's keyboard without saying a word, and quickly found the entrance to the arena. The screen suddenly showed a vast battlefield, with a magnificent giant arena towering in the center.
Surrounded by dense grandstands, what swarmed in was an army of vicious and ever-changing monsters! And in this chaotic battle formation, there stood a holographic projection:
"Welcome to the Cangyun Demon Abyss, all warriors! This place will witness the last fight of your lives, please fight with all your strength, and don't let down your heroic name!"
The crowd was boiling and the blood was surging! In this atmosphere of smoky war, countless game characters quickly lined up and prepared to set off. They stood shoulder to shoulder, and the mounts they rode were blooming everywhere, growing arbitrarily——
Some rode fire-red land dragons, their claws crushing out patches of scorched earth and dust on the ground; some rode thunderous giant rhinoceroses, shuttling through the electric light like falling stars; and some walked on snow, nurturing epic ancient frost spiders!
Countless scenes were presented in various forms, and even the terrifying lineup in the air was a gathering of famous beasts——
There, mighty magic dragons, majestic demon dragons, and sun-chasing eagles that ruled the nine heavens circled and soared! They either circled in the air or swooped down, and every time they passed over the crowd, they stirred up a roar like a shocking wave!
"Awoo awoo awoo!"
In the midst of this surging sound, the final earth-shattering dragon roar finally kicked off the battle!
That was the Demon Dragon King, who led the monster army, roaring and summoning all his remaining offspring to charge into battle. And Tang Ping and countless warriors finally faced this wave of beasts, showing their fangs and dragon-slaying sharp knives!
A thrilling final showdown began!
……
The Demon Dragon King's roar was like a blockbuster, completely igniting the flames of war in the arena! In an instant, countless blades, magic flames, and screams surged from all directions, densely surrounding Tang Ping.
"Swish swish swish!"
A row of monsters first darted to Tang Ping, their red fangs exposed, extremely ferocious. The leading black wolf monster was even more baring its fangs and brandishing its claws tearing Tang Ping's armor, and the scarlet blood in its mouth splashed everywhere.
"Damn beast!" Tang Ping shouted, wielding his sword and slashing the black wolf monster's limbs one after another. Soon, blood bloomed into striking red lotuses around him, and the hateful monster fell in a mournful scream.
"Rumble!"
At this moment, a burst of hot magma breath suddenly hit his face, and Tang Ping realized that countless fire monsters had gathered into a burning torrent in the distance. They were carrying scarlet demonic flames, and they spread slowly, engulfing Tang Ping and his comrades in an instant.
"Not good!"
Tang Ping subconsciously protected his head, but suddenly saw that his armor had been eaten away by the fire tongue bit by bit, and quickly spread to his whole body. The scorching high temperature instantly melted his armor, revealing the scarred flesh underneath!
"Ah, ah, ah, damn it!"
He screamed, his body trembling violently with pain. At this moment, from the other side of the sea of fire, a lithe wisp of green smoke also darted out, aiming at Tang Ping's face—it was the ubiquitous poisonous scorpion monster!
"Puchi!"
Tang Ping only felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and the poison had shot into his eye sockets. The horror of near blindness made him unhesitatingly make his last fight, his fists slammed towards his face, punching away the hot poison and melted armor. Several bloody marks were quickly added to his face, and bright red blood splashed straight around.
" giggling child's play!" At this moment, a strange laugh sounded from behind, and Tang Ping was startled: "Could there be a stronger guy?"
Looking back, there was no sign of any enemy, but a suddenly appeared ferocious evil ghost, with three green eyes on its ferocious face looking at Tang Ping's every move.
"You're asking for death!"
He was shocked and hastily raised the great sword in his hand and swept away, but was mocked by the green-clothed evil ghost with a grin: "I am the Douzhen(逗阵: teasing formation) demon king, specializing in confusing people's minds. Looking at your weak appearance, you can't be considered an opponent for me to kill! Hahahaha!"
As soon as the voice fell, it formed a Maitreya seal with both hands, and suddenly the scene in front of Tang Ping was dizzy for a while, unable to distinguish the directions. Thick white mist rising, as if in clouds and mist. The only thing clearly visible was the ferocious shape of the group of monsters, which were approaching step by step at his feet.
"My God, is this the so-called inner demon," Tang Ping muttered to himself, and he couldn't resist at all in his nervousness.
One fell down here, and a dozen corpses in a terrible state rolled down there. In this way, in just a few rounds, the once mighty army of brave was almost gone. And on their opposite side, the powerful generals of the half-wall monster camp were eyeing covetously towards Tang Ping, with saliva flowing wildly.
"Hahaha, looking at your half-dead appearance, you might as well just be captured obediently now!" A sharp-mouthed and fanged jackal monster mocked with a big laugh.
"Dream on!"
Tang Ping cursed loudly, he rolled around on the ground in a disarray, panting, covered in wounds. But then, with his roar, a strange force suddenly burst out from the depths of his heart!
"Rumble!"
I saw the sharp sword in his hand shaking, the blue glow suddenly flourished, and the whole body散发出一层耀眼(耀眼: dazzling)的光芒(光芒: light)! This seemingly ordinary sword blade, in a blink of an eye, was full of countless sacred virtues, as if repairing the sky disaster一般!
"Get lost!"
With a roar, Tang Ping's sword had already swung out!
instantly, all the monsters within a few miles wailing and fell to the ground! Even the Douzhen(逗阵: teasing formation) demon king was also shaking to seriously injured by this blow, and fled.
"Hahahaha, have you felt this power? This is the God reward for us brave ones!" Tang Ping was proud, with undiminished power holding the sword high.
The battle continued until the last round. When the exhausted Tang Ping finally lay dead on the spot, the combat power value he wore had skyrocketed to the highest specification of level 99! And under his feet, there were also each and every corpses of monsters that were once high above.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you guys really risked your lives," the referee who had been watching the battle for a long time sighed, and then said: " Bronze Warrior Tang Ping, after this round of cruel life-and-death fight, you have broken through to the Gold rank! Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Ah? Really, really?" Tang Ping was stunned first, and then cried out with great joy: "Ah ha ha ha, I killed them! I knew I would be able to do it!"
Yes, he finally showed his talent on this crazy and cruel battlefield, and was no longer a mere newbie when the dust settled. After unremitting efforts, he with unwavering courage, successfully defeated all the powerful enemies along the way!
At this moment, he can indeed arrogantly look up and roar: "Look, this is the king's demeanor above all things!"
……
"I'm about to reach the King rank!"
Tang Ping said excitedly.
However, at this moment, Tang Ping matched with a person named 「 Wolf Destroyer of Northern Liaoning」,
As soon as he jumped to the Gold rank, Tang Ping's morale was as high as a rainbow. I saw him swaggering and sitting down on the stands on one side of the arena, facing the fierce fighting brave ones below smirked:
"Hahaha, you ants are nothing more than that! With your little ability, you dare to fight me? Get out of the way, I'm just getting started, and when I kill to the King rank, I will stepping on you guys as stepping stones!"
As soon as the words fell, the duel in the center of the arena suddenly came to an end. Soon, a unrestrained, dreamlike figure like lightning appeared Tang Ping's in front of.
The most ⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发(The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair)!
"Yo? Your kid is tough,"!
I saw the other party wearing a wolf skin coat, the stern eyes squinted slightly, sharp and compelling. He bare upper body, muscles coiled all over, twisted and tangled like creepy vines winding around curved trunks. And on his old and ferocious face, a pair of phoenix eyes ready to go was staring at Tang Ping with piercing eyes.
"You you better take care of yourself, kid! You and I don't know each other, what kind of madman dares to speak wildly to me?" He sneered, the earth shook.
" tsk, you are nothing but a mere shrimp!" Tang Ping didn't care, the other party's wild and sturdy aura had greatly provoked him. "I am Cangyun first venerable, known as ' Zhenyuan Sandchen', from Gold directly kill to the King rank what's so difficult? You just bring it on!"
" what? You dare." The other party was furious upon hearing this, I saw that the face, like cast iron, was instantly covered with hideous veins.
"I am ' Wolf Destroyer of Northern Liaoning', known as King of Ten Thousand Wolves! wandering the world for many years,无数生灵便是被我亲手抓捕、吞食而尽的(无数生灵便是被我亲手抓捕、吞食而尽的: countless creatures have been personally captured and devoured by me)! speaking wildly, I will definitely kill you!"
Before the voice fell, he glared angrily, waved his hands wildly, turned into a flame wolf, muscles bulged, wild and sturdy. The mane was even more outstanding, standing like ten thousand arrows firing, very scary.
"Give me Roaring Slash!"
It bared its fangs and roared, the sharp wolf howl suddenly echoed in the arena. And after a while, I saw a sword mark suddenly appearing under Tang Ping's feet, silently extending all the way from his eyes.
"什(Sh)" Tang Ping was unprepared, was suddenly suppressed by this bluffing move and stood stiffly in place, shocked!
"Hahaha, a mere brave man is penniless, dares to bark in front of me!" Wolf Destroyer of Northern Liaoning triumphantly, he eyed covetously and moved closer, every step was crazy. " Do you know how much my combat power is? 足足有1700万之巨(足足有1700万之巨: A full 17 million!)"
" what?!" Tang Ping was frightened, his body shivered uncontrollably: " This is crazy!"
He looked around frantically, I saw that the group of brave men fighting side by side with him were all blasted out by this violent force, corpses covered the field for hundreds of miles. Even the indestructible moat was blasted open by this blow, penetrating quite a distance!
no one, even more so, no magic weapon could survive in front of this monster! He简直就是一座行走的人间炼狱(他简直就是一座行走的人间炼狱: He is simply a walking hell on earth), wherever he goes, it is a scene of devastation!
" stop! This is simply a shameless murder with all firepower!" Tang Ping gasped, his legs couldn't help but tremble.
"哦(Oh)? I还以为嘴这么硬的家伙定是出自哪个王朝高手(I还以为嘴这么硬的家伙定是出自哪个王朝高手: I thought that a guy with such a hard mouth must be a master from some dynasty), I didn't expect it to be nothing more than that." Wolf Destroyer of Northern Liaoning was already clear about Tang Ping's aura. He He shook his head again and again, with his hands behind his back—— obviously a contemptuous posture that the opponent is too unbearable.
" Then I will forgive you, let you experience one ten-thousandth of my true power, go back and practice!
Before the words fell, Wolf Destroyer of Northern Liaoning suddenly opened his mouth and roared, a stream of scorching flames spewed out of his mouth. Tang Ping felt a darkness in front of his eyes, a scorching high temperature suddenly hit his face. He连滚带爬想要逃开(He连滚带爬想要逃开: He rolled and crawled to escape), but found that his legs had been melted in half by the magma.
"啊啊啊啊(Ah ah ah ah). Help!"
The burnt smell of rust and the smell of blood passed through Tang Ping's nose, accompanied by his heartbreaking scream. Everything in front of him quickly fell into the sea of fire and chaos, as if experiencing the fire of hell again!
At this critical moment, Tang Ping suddenly woke up from the dream, his whole body was already covered in sweat, with a look of fear.
"呼呼(Huhu). Just a dream" he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was very funny. Originally that complacent pleasure had long since been swept away, replaced by an unprecedented feeling of gain and loss.
yes, wanting to become the supreme in the game, how can it be an easy thing? Even if even a gold expert with strong strength, is as fragile as an ant under the hands of such a monster.
Tang Ping pondered briefly, a sense of unprecedented fear and unease welling up within him. However, just as he was frowning in worry, the voice of a rogue cultivator beside him interrupted his thoughts:
"Tang Ping, don't be so down! Although the road ahead is long and arduous, you and I can definitely accumulate strength slowly. One day, we'll be able to look down upon all the heroes with pride! Hahaha!"
Hearing these words, Tang Ping simply nodded heavily, his heart filled with immense trepidation about the future.
But he quickly snapped back to his senses.
Wait, who was just talking?!
