Inside the map of the Cold River City White Mountain Branch, after all members of the Hundred Flowers Guild had been wiped out, Jiang Yuan unhurriedly approached the hall leader boss. With a wave of his hand, another thousand Dragon Beard Tigers materialized out of thin air and swarmed forward. Seconds later, the Hundred Flowers Guild members rushing back from the复活 point to the White Mountain Branch heard the notification that the branch had been captured!
"Huh? That fast? Could Creation be here to support us?"
The Hundred Flowers Guild leader froze, then quickened his pace, leading his brothers back into the White Mountain Branch building. The guild members filed in and immediately spotted Jiang Yuan standing alone beside the boss's corpse.
"Jiang Yuan? You took down the hall leader by yourself?"
Hua Qiangu walked up with an incredulous expression, stopping in front of Jiang Yuan to ask.
"What else?"
Jiang Yuan tilted his head, glanced at the rough-looking man, and said flatly.
"I don't believe it! If you're that strong, why did you waste so much time at Cloudrise?"
Hua Qiangu shook his head repeatedly, showing deep skepticism toward Jiang Yuan's words.
"Don't casually question the strength of a big shot!"
Just then, Zhang Ergou, the leader of the Cloudrise Guild, arrived with his members. As soon as he entered, he called out to the Hundred Flowers Guild.
"President Zhang, what do you mean?"
Hua Qiangu looked at Zhang Ergou, noting the admiration in his tone toward Jiang Yuan, and turned to ask.
"President Hua Qiangu, trust me! Big shot Jiang Yuan is the most powerful summoner I've ever seen, bar none!"
Zhang Ergou stepped in front of Hua Qiangu and spoke solemnly, then detailed the battle situation at the Dragon Ridge Branch.
"What? Over a thousand summons killed the boss in seconds?"
After hearing the Cloudrise Guild leader's account, Hua Qiangu's eyes widened in disbelief, and he added, "Are you blowing smoke up my ass?"
"Whoosh!"
As Hua Qiangu's words faded, countless white lights flashed, and within a radius of several dozen meters around the White Mountain Branch, a dense swarm of Dragon Beard Tigers suddenly appeared!
"Summons like these, I have over ten thousand more."
Jiang Yuan couldn't be bothered to argue, directly summoning ten thousand Dragon Beard Tigers and speaking calmly to Hua Qiangu.
"Holy shit!"
Seeing the Dragon Beard Tigers covering the landscape, Hua Qiangu's eyes nearly popped out. Not just him, but everyone in both the Cloudrise and Hundred Flowers Guilds wore the same stunned expression!
"Ding! Congratulations, your alliance has successfully defeated the branch leader Guli Aiyuda and captured the Blackwater City headquarters!"
While everyone was still in shock, a notification rang out that Creation Guild had taken the Blackwater City headquarters!
"Ding! Battle over. You will be teleported out of the instance map in ten seconds. Countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7..."
Simultaneously, another alert sounded. After the ten-second countdown ended, Jiang Yuan felt an inexplicable force envelop him, his vision spun, and when it cleared, he was back in the Upper Capital City!
"Jiang Yuan! We've taken the headquarters!"
As soon as he was teleported out, Hamster Pudding's cheerful voice reached his ears.
"I was just about to lead the Cloudrise and Hundred Flowers Guilds to support you, but you'd already finished the fight. Impressive, impressive!"
Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs-up, praising Hamster Pudding with a smile.
"It's all thanks to your earlier suggestion about leveling up. Once our guild brothers raised their levels, battles became much easier. Especially your buddy, Ding Ye—he's on the verge of becoming our Creation Guild's top MT!"
Hamster Pudding smiled slightly, praising Ding Ye lavishly in front of Jiang Yuan.
"Oh? That kid's that tough now?"
Jiang Yuan looked surprised. He hadn't seen his best friend Ding Ye since the battle at Anyang Town, and now the guy had improved so fast!
"Old Ding, where are you? Come find me here."
Jiang Yuan opened his friend list and immediately sent Ding Ye his current coordinates.
Soon, Ding Ye appeared before Jiang Yuan, wearing the Cold River City alliance uniform.
[Character Name]: Ding Da Shuai Bi [Character Class]: Tiger Guard Cavalry [Character Level]: 89 [HP]: 78,500 [MP]: 8,200 [Physical Attack]: 6,700-9,300 [Physical Defense]: 9,500 [Magic Defense]: 4,300 [Strength]: 538 (Affects physical attack and physical defense) [Intelligence]: 175 (Affects magic attack and magic defense) [Constitution]: 621 (Affects HP and HP recovery speed) [Spirit]: 190 (Affects MP and MP recovery speed) [Agility]: 130 (Affects physical and magic crit rate) [Toughness]: 270 (Reduces physical and magic damage taken) [Attribute Enhancement]: Fire 30, Ice 50, Light 60, Dark 10 [Attribute Resistance]: Fire 25, Ice 25, Light 55, Dark 25
"Holy crap! Look at you, almost 80k HP! I really have to see you in a new light!"
After checking Ding Ye's stats, Jiang Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief. It took him a moment to recover, then he punched his friend's shoulder excitedly.
"Of course! Watching you all strut around being badass, I couldn't fall behind, right? I got lucky in a dungeon today and found a mythical-level hidden class change book, and it's for a warrior class, hahaha!"
Ding Ye put his hands on his hips, laughing wildly with a smug look on his face. But neither Jiang Yuan nor Hamster Pudding noticed the flicker of bitterness hidden deep in Ding Ye's eyes.
"What! A mythical-level hidden class?"
Jiang Yuan froze again, exclaiming in shock!
His own Nine Spirits class was only an epic-level hidden class, yet Ding Ye had stumbled into a mythical-level one!
"Tell me, what's so awesome about this mythical-level hidden class?"
Jiang Yuan's interest piqued, and he threw an arm around Ding Ye's neck.
"Eh, nothing special. Every hundred points of strength adds a thousand HP, and the constitution bonus is huge. I roughly calculated, each point of constitution gives a hundred HP!"
Ding Ye wrapped his arm around Jiang Yuan's neck in return, speaking excitedly.
"Damn! You're going to turn into a walking HP tank!"
After hearing about Ding Ye's "Tiger Guard Cavalry" hidden class, Jiang Yuan was stunned speechless. With such insane HP scaling, how tanky would Ding Ye become!
"That's amazing! Ding Ye, don't worry—I'll make sure you become our guild's and even the whole server's top MT!"
Hamster Pudding, impressed by Ding Ye's potential and his connection to Jiang Yuan, saw him as worth investing in. She patted her chest and made a promise.
"Thanks, beautiful guild leader! I won't let your high expectations down!"
Hearing Hamster Pudding's assurance, Ding Ye immediately pulled away from Jiang Yuan's arm, stood ramrod straight, saluted her, and spoke with utmost seriousness.
"Ding! The alliance plunder battle will begin in five minutes. Please prepare in advance!"
Before Jiang Yuan could tease Ding Ye, the system notification rang in his ears.
The highly anticipated alliance plunder battle was about to start!
