Virtual Ascension: Awakening the Supreme Talent

Since the dungeon opened the day before yesterday, the ultimate treasure that hadn't been discovered by over twenty thousand players from the two major zones was actually here!

Countless viewers in the live stream were bewildered, as Zhang Yi's actions seemed as if he already knew the ultimate treasure was here!

Fortunately, Zhang Yi remembered correctly. In the previous life, after the City of Energy dungeon ended, the system announced the hiding places of the ultimate treasures in each City of Energy that hadn't been discovered. This allowed Zhang Yi, whose mind was like a storage drive, to remember the burial locations of the ultimate treasures in Zone 885 and Zone 886. The elevator code was the opening date of Apocalypse, which was easy to remember: 2025828, with -1 representing 0.

Following this sequence to take the elevator was the only way to find the ultimate treasure in the end.

At the same time, because the treasure was activated, the seal of the City of Energy was also triggered.

And this treasure was prepared for the slayer.

Opening his backpack, Zhang Yi took out one of the 100 [Teleport Scrolls] rewarded from the treasure.

[Teleport Scroll] (Normal Magic Scroll):

Description: Write any player ID on the scroll, and after crushing the scroll, you can instantly teleport to that player's side.

Note: This scroll is a special scroll for the City of Energy dungeon and can only be used within the dungeon.

Before this, Zhang Yi took out the buff magic scrolls previously dropped by the Skeleton King from his bag and used them consecutively—

"Ding~ [Attack Buff Scroll] activated: Increases attack power by 20% for half an hour!"

"Ding~ [Defense Buff Scroll] activated: Increases defense by 20% for half an hour!"

"Ding~ [Speed Buff Scroll] activated: Increases attack speed and movement speed by 20% for half an hour!"

"Ding~ [Life Buff Scroll] activated: Increases maximum life by 20% for half an hour!"

Then, writing Proud of the Crowd's ID on the teleport scroll, Zhang Yi crushed the scroll.

Whoosh!

A flash of white light, and Zhang Yi was teleported to a corner of the City of Energy, 50 meters in front of Proud of the Crowd, who was on the street shooting an 886 Zone player.

Seeing "Yinuo Qingcheng" suddenly appear in front of him, Proud of the Crowd wasn't surprised, as the dungeon announcement had just informed everyone that Zhang Yi had activated the ultimate treasure and obtained the [Teleport Scroll].

As the name implies, the teleport scroll is used for position teleportation.

Instead, finally seeing Zhang Yi, Proud of the Crowd was somewhat excited: "You finally decided to show yourself? I thought you were going to hide forever!"

"Of course," Zhang Yi replied, "I can't wait until the dungeon ends to come out."

Proud of the Crowd, holding a dark, valuable-looking black longbow, said to Zhang Yi, "Let me see how strong the number one on the Heaven Ranking of Zone 886 really is!"

Despite his words, Proud of the Crowd's eyes were filled with disdain. Having achieved a 788 kill streak without dying once since entering the dungeon, Proud of the Crowd didn't think much of Zhang Yi.

Because Zhang Yi was the number one in Zone 886, while he was the number one in Zone 885, and he considered himself no worse. Moreover, Zhang Yi's class was a Beastmaster, known for its low attribute growth and being almost useless in the early stages.

Of course, Proud of the Crowd had reasons for his confidence. His equipment was of the dark type, clearly a complete Undead Set!

However, at this stage, collecting a complete 2-star Undead Set was extremely difficult, so most of Proud of the Crowd's equipment was likely 1-star Undead gear.

Except for his weapon.

The weapon should be 3-star; otherwise, his strength wouldn't be so far above ordinary players.

However, his weapon didn't seem to be part of the Undead Set but was a normal 3-star weapon, likely dropped by the Skeleton King in their zone.

With a faint golden glow, all his equipment was enhanced to over level 20.

Combined with the legendary talent [Fivefold Attack Speed], this created an almost invincible Divine Archer in the City of Energy, Proud of the Crowd!

Zone 885's number one versus Zone 886's number one.

This upcoming ultimate showdown filled players watching the live streams from both sides with tension and anticipation.

Before the battle even started, Proud of the Crowd looked at Zhang Yi with contempt and said, "How about a bet? One match to decide the winner. If you lose, you leave Han Yaru voluntarily!"

"Boring," Zhang Yi said dismissively, then approached Proud of the Crowd with his Undead Staff.

Proud of the Crowd laughed, "As expected, you're a coward, afraid to bet with me because you know you have no chance of winning!"

The Undead Staff glinted coldly, and a hint of killing intent appeared in Zhang Yi's eyes.

While Proud of the Crowd was still rambling, Zhang Yi activated Blink, instantly closing the distance from 50 meters to within effective attack range. With his high agility of 189 points and the 55% casting speed bonus from the 2-star Mage [Undead Set], a purple [Freeze Spell] blasted towards Proud of the Crowd.

Boom!

Proud of the Crowd didn't expect a Mage to have such speed and was hit before he could react, a massive red damage number appeared above his head—

-1641!

The 55% chance of freezing was triggered, and frost formed on Proud of the Crowd, who was hit by the Freeze Spell.

Taking advantage of this, Zhang Yi unleashed a Fireball Spell without hesitation—

-2568 Critical Hit!

The combined 4000 massive damage from the ice and fire cleared Proud of the Crowd's health bar, killing him.

"Ding~ You killed Zone 885 player [Proud of the Crowd], gaining 27852 energy points! (Including 50% extra bonus)"

Dungeon announcement: "Ding~ Zone 886 player [Yinuo Qingcheng] killed Zone 885 player [Proud of the Crowd], ending his kill streak and godlike status!"

Instantly, countless players in both live streams were stunned.

This damage was unimaginable, especially coming from a Beastmaster!

In the sealed state of the City of Energy, once a player dies and leaves the dungeon, they can't re-enter for three hours.

The instantly killed Proud of the Crowd was obviously unwilling and spent 10 gold coins to revive.

"You ambushed me! I wasn't ready!"

"You're dead! In a fair fight, you can't beat me because I have a legendary talent!"

Reviving on the spot with a vengeance, Proud of the Crowd drew his bow and began shooting at Zhang Yi!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

With the legendary talent [Fivefold Attack Speed] boosting him, Proud of the Crowd's hands moved like they were on steroids, rapidly drawing the bowstring and firing dozens of arrows!

The extreme attack speed limited Zhang Yi's positioning, causing two-thirds of the arrows to hit Zhang Yi, each bringing up damage numbers—

-98!

-98!

-196 Critical Hit!

-98!

Proud of the Crowd was dumbfounded.

Even though [Fivefold Attack Speed] had a downside of reducing normal attack damage by 50%, with his attack power over 700, plus the 20% armor break from the incomplete 2-star Archer Undead Set, it shouldn't be possible to deal such little damage. How high was Zhang Yi's defense?

In reality, with Proud of the Crowd's attack power and armor break, breaking Zhang Yi's 600 defense under the [Defense Buff] was more than enough. What he didn't know was that Zhang Yi's [Undead Robe] had an [Advanced Damage Reduction Talent], reducing each hit by 100 points.

While Proud of the Crowd's combo, which could have instantly killed any other Zone 886 player, only took away a third of Zhang Yi's health, Zhang Yi's blue [Chain Lightning] combined with a normal attack struck back—

-2624 Critical Hit!

-1089!

Proud of the Crowd's 2000 health bar was emptied again.

"Ding~ Zone 886 player [Yinuo Qingcheng] killed Zone 885 [Proud of the Crowd], gaining 25068 energy!"

Looking at Proud of the Crowd's fallen body, Zhang Yi said calmly, "Sorry, I have a Divine Talent."
