Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 4)

Chapter 690 - Battle of the Strongest!

Uhtred, this was a large mountain located to the east of Calore. It was surrounded by vast plains, forests, rivers, and grasslands. The monsters that roamed this map were Level 20-30. After arriving here, Bladelight and the others couldn't help but be reminded of the time they spent grinding here in the early days.

Bladelight had holed himself here for at least two to three days. At that time, he was still slowly familiarizing himself with the game. Levelling was an incredible slog.

Nie Yan had pretty much power-levelled himself straight past Level 30. So, he hadn't come here to level in this life. However, he still had his experiences from the previous timeline. Seeing all these familiar sights, a sense of nostalgia struck him.

Looking down from atop their flying mounts, they noticed there were fairly few players around. They decided to descend. This mountain would be their battleground.

Some of them paired up and found their own respective areas to PvP, while others stood off in the sidelines and simply observed. Nie Yan was the odd one out. He'd compete, but no one dared to duel him.

"Sparrow Hawk, why don't you have a go with the Boss?" Lustboy suggested. He could already imagine Tang Yao getting stomped.

Tang Yao rolled his eyes. "Why would I ever PvP with a freak like him? He has more than half-a-dozen Rank 16 skills. That's simply bullying! My highest skill is only at Rank 9!"

In a battle between a Magister and Shadow Dancer, apart from combat senses and technique, skills were also extremely important and often the determining factor.

Lustboy forced a wry smile. None of them were Nie Yan's match. If even Tang Yao didn't dare to take him on, then the rest of them had even less of a hope. After all, Tang Yao stood roughly on par with the likes of Bladelight and Smoke Stub.

Nie Yan chuckled. "Hmm. In that case, I'll limit myself to only 20 skills, and I won't use any of my Rank 16 skills. How about it?"

"Nope, I refuse!" Tang Yao vigorously shook his head. It wasn't like he hadn't seen Nie Yan PvP before. Even if Nie Yan limited himself to 20 skills, he'd still get the snot beaten out of him.

Nie Yan's comprehension of Shadow Dancer techniques, Gale Step, Shadow Waltz, and other skills had long since reached a consummate level. Tang Yao had no way of landing his spells on Nie Yan. Just shaving a bit of Nie Yan's health away would already be incredibly difficult.

Tang Yao wanted a suitable opponent to practice against, not get decimated in a one-sided battle.

Nie Yan helplessly shrugged. "Nothing I can do then."

"Man, I didn't think Sparrow Hawk would be such a chicken," Lustboy quietly muttered to himself.

"Huh, what'd you say punk!? How about you try and have a go at him instead?" Tang Yao shot a glare at Lustboy.

Lustboy innocently whistled, pretending he hadn't heard anything. He turned to Nie Yan. "I'm gonna go find Sun. He said he wanted to PvP against me. Later, Boss!" With that said, he hurriedly departed.

Nie Yan chuckled. Lustboy was quite an amusing fellow.

Lustboy and Sun were the two youngest members in Asskickers United. Sun was already quite famous in the previous timeline. Being able to succeed his class advancement to a Shadow Dancer on his first try came as no surprise. On the other hand, Lustboy was completely unknown in the previous timeline. He was someone who had risen to prominence after being nutured in Asskickers United. He wasn't any bit less skilled than Sun. Nie Yan felt quite gratified. He hoped the guild would produce more people like Lustboy, unnoticed talents who were never given the opportunity to grow in his past life.
