Dung Beetle's socially deadly encounter certainly served as a warning to the other players. Many First Test Players and Second Test Players also silently prayed, desperately hoping they wouldn't have such fans. Otherwise, the embarrassment would be utterly mortifying. Playing a game only to face social death was not what they wanted.
The Third Test Players were also dumbfounded. Could being recognized actually lead to something like this? But they couldn't bring themselves to be so embarrassing; they just couldn't go that far. Truly shameless, weren't they?
Xu Nian calmed himself, then turned and asked, "Who else wants to continue the challenge?"
The Third Test Players exchanged glances, and then five players stepped forward:
Farming at Noon.
Black Immortal Art.
I Want to Eat Breakfast.
Little Overlord with Silver Spear.
Adorable Xianxian.
After these five players came forward, they announced, "We challenge Junlin of Lingxiao Hall."
Even Xu Nian was surprised by this declaration. These five players were special. Third Test Players lacked inherent Talents, but they had a chance to possess special Bloodlines or Constitutions. For Third Test Players, the probability of obtaining such Bloodlines or Constitutions right after logging in was extremely low.
Earlier, in front of the Great Hall, Xu Nian had already checked—out of eight hundred players, only these five possessed them. And now, these five players were banding together. They even chose to directly challenge Junlin.
Who was Junlin? The top assassin among players, the founder of Lingxiao Hall, the former Top Player. These five Newbie Players actually dared to challenge Junlin directly. It had to be said, they truly had guts.
"Did I hear that right? Someone is challenging Junlin?"
"Damn, these Third Test Players really know how to play, picking the highest difficulty right from the start?"
"They aren't Junlin's fans, are they? Is Junlin about to experience a social death too?"
"Hahaha, bro, you're too much. Be careful, or Dung Beetle will take revenge and stink you to death right here."
The surrounding players chimed in with similar teasing remarks.
Even Junlin was shocked. Challenge him? He had sold his spot to Iron-blooded War Hero, so there was no chance of his friends or family arriving. Could it really be fans? Did they want him to experience a social death too?
Old Mo chuckled. "Boss, looks like you're going to face a social death too. That Farming at Noon guy's name is pretty flamboyant."
Poisonous Panda also snickered. "Who would have thought Junlin would face the same ordeal as Dung Beetle?"
"I can't hold it in anymore!" Sister Zhou burst into laughter. The thought of Junlin experiencing the same social death scene that had just happened to Dung Beetle made her unable to hold back.
Junlin also looked helpless, inwardly praying that these five people would be serious.
After Junlin jumped down from the Pavilion, the five players followed close behind.
Seeing the wary Junlin, Farming at Noon smiled and explained, "Don't worry, we're not your fans. The five of us are somewhat special—we're players with inherent Bloodlines and Constitutions."
As soon as this was said, everyone gasped.
To the players, inherent Bloodlines and Constitutions were on par with inherent Talents. The emergence of five players with such traits naturally drew everyone's attention. If they could be recruited into their own Hall, that would be a huge gain.
"So you want to come to Lingxiao Hall?" Junlin guessed their intention. It seemed these five were slightly arrogant. They wanted to test his Power as the top assassin.
Farming at Noon nodded and smiled. "I have the Immaculate Immortal Body. Once I fully develop my Constitution, I won't need Contribution Points to advance my Realm later on."
Hearing this, Junlin couldn't help but gasp. A Constitution could have such an effect? Players needed a lot of Contribution Points to break through in the later stages. Yet this guy wouldn't need Contribution Points for future breakthroughs? Is the Immaculate Immortal Body that strong?
"I have the Dark Body, better suited for combat. I can hide within dark spaces, then emerge to assassinate," explained Black Immortal Art. "Once my Constitution is developed later on, as long as I'm in darkness, I will be essentially unbeatable. That's the gist of it."
Wow, unbeatable in the dark? This Constitution wasn't inferior to the Immaculate Immortal Body at all. If there's a fight at night, wouldn't this guy be able to take on everyone single-handedly in the later stages?
I Want to Eat Breakfast followed. "I have the Heaven-Burning Battle Body. Right now, I can only achieve elementalization, somewhat similar to the Pirate King's Burn Burn Fruit Ability. Only when my Constitution develops further will I gain greater combat power."
TSK TSK! Elementalization already? I wonder if Armament Haki would even work against it. This Constitution is practically unbeatable, isn't it! Elementalization right from their debut? Are these really Newbie Players?
The remaining two were Bloodline players, and they possessed quite unique Bloodlines.
Little Overlord with Silver Spear scratched his head and grinned. "My Bloodline is a bit special… uh, you'll see during the fight."
Adorable Xianxian's name was very feminine, but damn, he was a proper man. And he was even wearing elaborate makeup!
"My Bloodline is called the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Bloodline. When activated, it can feminize men and masculinize women," Adorable Xianxian said awkwardly.
But his words were like a depth charge, leaving all the players unable to sit still.
"What is that? Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Who would dare mess with him? If he gets upset, he'll just activate his Bloodline and switch your gender!"
"Bro, I can handle it! I've always wanted to play as a female character."
"Did you misunderstand? A man becoming feminized doesn't mean you turn into a woman. It just means you gain some female traits!"
The crowd was abuzz with shocked and curious murmurs.
It had to be said, as soon as Adorable Xianxian spoke, it left all the players reeling.
Awesome! That's the only way to describe it. Who would dare mess with such a Bloodline? The thought of becoming neither male nor female sent a chill down everyone's spine. They definitely did not want to experience that feeling. Either be a complete man or a complete woman. This half-man, half-woman scenario was just too horrifying.
Even Xu Nian looked at Adorable Xianxian with apprehension in his eyes.
As for that Little Overlord with Silver Spear… his Bloodline was also quite special, another presence to be feared.
These five players had gathered, seemingly eager to join Lingxiao Hall. It remained to be seen if Junlin could handle them.
Junlin also frowned deeply. The Immaculate Immortal Body wasn't an immediate concern. Black Immortal Art, with its assassination skills, needed to be watched carefully. The Heaven-Burning Battle Body could elementalize, but it wasn't invincible. But the remaining two Bloodline players were quite troublesome. Little Overlord with Silver Spear hadn't elaborated, but his Bloodline also didn't seem simple. Adorable Xianxian posed the biggest problem. He absolutely couldn't let that one touch him, otherwise…
"Come on!" Junlin pulled out his Black Dragon Dagger, holding it in a reverse grip. He solemnly said, "You five are indeed troublesome. I might go for the kill, so be ready."
The necessary warning had to be given.
The five players nodded slightly, then those without much battle experience charged forward.
Junlin seized the opportunity, leaping up, his movements as swift as a phantom. At this moment, he had become serious.
Farming at Noon hadn't reacted yet when a figure flashed before him, and then he helplessly fell to the ground. On his neck, a crimson line slowly emerged. His Constitution really wasn't suited for battle at this stage.
One-hit kill!
Seeing Farming at Noon fall, Black Immortal Art hurriedly hid inside the dark space. A black crack appeared in the air, and he dived directly into it.
Junlin whirled around, his strike missing, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Just then, a sense of danger instantly struck him from behind.
Adorable Xianxian stood at the front without moving. He seemed aware of his lack of combat skills and had no intention of engaging. I Want to Eat Breakfast chose to elementalize, keeping his distance from Junlin.
That left only… Little Overlord with Silver Spear!
Junlin wanted to turn and attack Little Overlord with Silver Spear. However, at this moment, his famed speed was inexplicably not as fast as Little Overlord with Silver Spear's. Or rather, some indescribable force seemed to be affecting him! Damn it!
Little Overlord with Silver Spear clapped his hands together. His two index fingers were held straight and long, while his other fingers were intertwined. This stance… Everyone seemed to recognize what this move was.
Junlin's Black Dragon Dagger, held firmly, stabbed swiftly towards Little Overlord with Silver Spear. But Little Overlord with Silver Spear's fingers also shot straight towards Junlin's rear. The piercing, debilitating sensation made Junlin's entire face darken. Is he trying to pull a stunt?!
"Holy shit, the Millennial Kill?!"
"The scariest part is that Junlin couldn't dodge it! Even with his speed, he couldn't evade it!"
"What kind of Bloodline is this? It even affected Junlin!"
"HISS—that looks painful."
More horrified exclamations rippled through the crowd.
Although Little Overlord with Silver Spear hit Junlin, the Black Dragon Dagger also struck him. The next moment, he was teleported out.
Junlin remained frozen, still in his assassination stance, struggling to regulate his breathing and recover quickly. What kind of Bloodline was that? It even affected him; truly terrifying.
He'd been hit! And by a man, no less! Embarrassing! Way too embarrassing!
At this moment, regardless of gender, everyone couldn't help but cover their own rears, staring strangely at Little Overlord with Silver Spear.
Teleported out by the Array, Little Overlord with Silver Spear scratched his head and explained, "My Bloodline is called the Chrysanthemum Bloodline. Its effect is what you just saw: one hundred percent defense penetration and a guaranteed hit!"
Holy crap! What kind of monstrous Bloodline is that? That's even more terrifying than Adorable Xianxian's Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Bloodline! Why does each Third Test Player seem more outrageous than the last?
Junlin took a deep breath. He then addressed the remaining three, "Alright, I acknowledge you. If you want to join Lingxiao Hall, I welcome you on behalf of everyone in Lingxiao Hall."
With that, he turned and walked towards the Pavilion, his face cold.
Yes, walked. Normally, he could have leaped up easily, but clearly, he couldn't manage that now. How utterly absurd! These Third Test Players were one more absurd than the next!
