Chapter 24: Dimensional Reduction Strike!

Meanwhile, Zhou Huai transferred his consciousness to Ou Yezi, who was still resting in the luxury apartment.

It wouldn't be long before Yasuo reached Rank 10.

His original body's Rank would also reach Rank 10 accordingly.

By then, he would be able to create a third Clone.

But currently, Ou Yezi hadn't forged a single epic-grade piece of equipment.

He needed to raise the Forger's Rank.

There was still a huge gap in the speed of Rank advancement between lifestyle-class Professionals and combat or support-class Professionals.

Advancing in Rank was too slow.

For instance, yesterday Ou Yezi forged more than a dozen pieces of equipment in a row.

The quality of all of them wasn't low.

Yet his Rank had only just reached Rank 3.

It simply couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as combat-class Professionals.

However, the benefits brought by Rank advancement were also obvious.

Aside from the enhancement of various attributes, it would also raise forging proficiency.

Likewise, it would also comprehend various new skills.

Controlling Ou Yezi, Zhou Huai contacted his assistant, Lin Wei.

In less than ten minutes.

Lin Wei's car had already appeared downstairs of the apartment building.

Ou Yezi got into the car.

Lin Wei politely spoke: "Great Master Ou Yezi, how did you rest last night?"

Zhou Huai wasn't controlling Ou Yezi at this moment, wanting to see how the AI equipped on this Clone would answer.

Would it speak all scholarly and refined like Yasuo?

As a result, he only heard Ou Yezi spit out two words in a low voice.

"Not bad."

Afterwards, he closed his eyes to rest his mind and said no more.

Inside the carriage, silence fell once again.

Lin Wei seemed somewhat unwilling to give up and tried to find a few more topics to talk about.

"Great Master, the weather is quite nice today…"

"A new batch of rare Ore has arrived at the guild…"

As a result, she was still rendered silent by Ou Yezi in just a few words.

Most of them were monosyllabic words like 'Mn', 'Known', and 'Sure'.

Zhou Huai nodded inwardly.

It seemed that the AI loaded on Ou Yezi's Clone had the persona of a taciturn and inarticulate tech geek.

Different Clones, different personas.

This point seemed rather interesting.

Soon, the car arrived at the Forging Guild once again.

Ou Yezi handed the blueprints and Materials list he needed directly to Lin Wei.

"Get them ready and send them to the top-tier forging room."

Lin Wei took the list and hurriedly nodded: "Alright Great Master, I'll go handle it right away."

Ou Yezi walked straight towards that familiar top-tier forging room.

Before long.

Guild personnel delivered all sorts of fully packed Materials.

The blueprint Ou Yezi selected this time was for a Rank 10 ring.

Blue quality.

Once forged, the baseline would be the fine grade.

The ring was small and exquisite.

It didn't require too many Materials and time.

It couldn't be more suitable for grinding the forging Rank.

If he was lucky enough to directly forge an epic-grade one, it would be even more perfect.

The Materials were ready.

The heavy doors of the top-tier forging room slowly closed.

Ou Yezi took a deep breath, a trace of focus flashing in his eyes.

He once again began his tedious and boring crafting work.

Just at this moment——

[Ding! System prompt: Your Clone 'Thunder Swordsman Yasuo' is being maliciously attacked by unknown Professionals!]

The cold System prompt tone rang abruptly in Zhou Huai's mind!

Zhou Huai's brow furrowed sharply.

Why was he ambushed again?!

This wilderness was simply too unsafe!

It was only the first day out of the city, and he had already suffered three ambushes!

Without any hesitation, he immediately switched his consciousness to Yasuo's body!

Vision shifted.

The next second, Zhou Huai was surprised to find that Yasuo was densely surrounded by more than a dozen Professionals!

These people flickered vaguely, faintly forming an encirclement.

Among them, two or three warriors wielding sabers and shields had already exchanged blows with Yasuo!

"Pfft!"

A cold flash of light crossed the longsword in Yasuo's hand. One warrior failed to dodge in time, and a spurt of blood shot from his arm as he retreated with a miserable scream.

Clearly, his strength wasn't considered very strong.

Zhou Huai's eyes narrowed slightly.

Why did so many people pop out to besiege Yasuo?

It was as if they came specifically for Yasuo?

Zhou Huai's brain thought at high speed.

These people should belong to the same guild as those five guys who died at Yasuo's hands earlier.

It's just that Zhou Huai didn't quite understand.

This jungle was so vast, why could these people precisely find Yasuo's location?

Just as he was pondering, the battle in the arena changed again.

The steel blade in a warrior's hand was slashed in half by Yasuo's sword!

"Clang!"

The broken blade fell to the ground.

Far from being frustrated, that warrior instead revealed a look of wild joy on his face!

He roared excitedly: "The boss is right! This guy is covered in top-tier equipment! Brothers, take him down for me!"

Zhou Huai sneered inwardly.

They were actually eyeing the equipment on Yasuo's body.

Was equipment like this something a mob of riffraff like them deserved to eye?

However, Zhou Huai also noticed the meaning behind the other party's words.

How did the other party's boss know that Yasuo was full of good equipment?

He suddenly remembered the assassin he encountered earlier.

Only then did he understand.

It seemed the other party had been eyeing him for a long time.

Since that was the case, don't blame him for being unpolite.

Although these people might all have a higher Rank than Yasuo.

Their equipment simply couldn't compare to Yasuo's.

A full set of rare-quality equipment was probably impossible for a second person in all of Tianhai City to possess.

Not to mention Yasuo was S-Rank.

Dealing with them was simply a dimensional reduction strike!

With a thought, Zhou Huai gave an instruction to the AI Yasuo.

"Strike with all your might and kill them!"

A flash of murderous intent swept across Yasuo's uninhibited eyes, and he nodded silently.

The next moment, his figure suddenly turned sharply. Instead of retreating, he advanced, actually sprinting towards several ranged Professionals in another direction!

"Not good! Stop him! Don't let him run!" someone from behind cried out in shock.

Instantly, countless colorful control spells poured down towards Yasuo!

Beneath his feet, tough tree vines spread wildly!

Above his head, scorching fire rings whistled down!

In front of him, a thick ice wall rose from the ground!

Yet at the exact instant he was about to crash into the ice wall, Yasuo abruptly stopped his figure!

With eerie footwork, he instantly turned back!

The two warriors following closely behind him didn't react to this sudden change of moves at all!

"Pfft!"

One of the warriors was directly stabbed precisely into the chest by Yasuo with a turning slash!

[Thunderous Strike]!

– 580!

The paralysis effect erupted instantly!

That warrior's body stiffened, unable to move at all!

Yasuo's eyes were cold, and the longsword in his hand didn't stop for a second!

With another two consecutive strikes, he cleanly took away the opponent's last sliver of HP!

The entire motion was smooth and flowing, resembling a ruthless killing machine!

After killing one person, Yasuo didn't pause at all!

Like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey, he rushed fearlessly into the distant mage and archer formation!

Slaughtering into the crowd!

"Focus fire on him!"

"Nuke him in one second!"

Countless skills exploded on Yasuo like fireworks!

The violent roaring sounds were endless!

Yasuo's HP bar also visibly dropped by one-third!

However, when the smoke and dust cleared.

On the ground, there were already four or five more cold corpses!

And Yasuo was still standing tall!

The Shadow Wind Suit on his body was emitting a faint shimmer, rapidly restoring his health points!

The surrounding crowd couldn't help but feel a chill rush straight from the soles of their feet to their crowns!

Is this fucking even human?!

He was simply a monster!

Fear spread rapidly through the crowd like a plague.

This wasn't playing a game.

Without special resurrection equipment and props.

Once you died, you were truly dead.

This was their first time encountering such a ferocious, reckless tough guy!

"This is simply not… human! It's too outrageous!"

"Run… run quickly!"

Finally, someone couldn't withstand this extreme fear.

Being the first to turn and flee!

With the first one, there was a second, a third…

The scene instantly went out of control!

A relatively calm warrior shouted hoarsely: "Don't run! Nobody run! We still have a chance! We can kill him!"

However, his shouts appeared so pale and powerless amidst the scattering crowd.

The next second.

A fierce flash of sword light swept across!

The voice of the warrior shouting 'Don't run' came to an abrupt halt.

His head flew high into the air!

Fresh blood dyed Yasuo's stern face red.
