Chen Tian observed from his room. This was the third stage. At this moment, Chen Tian opened his game interface. His level had increased to fifteen, far surpassing his previous zero. A prompt asking if he wanted to continue appeared on Chen Tian's interface. Chen Tian felt there was no need to challenge further; the previous two stages had already provided him with ample rewards. He chose "No," and his figure vanished from the room. The Snow Mountain Cave would automatically send Chen Tian out if he didn't continue challenging.
Outside the Snow Mountain Cave, the crowd was in an uproar. "Gods, what did they see?" The first place on the leaderboard had changed to second. Who was it? Who had surpassed their goddess? Even the maiden doubted who had broken her record. The next moment, two interfaces appeared: Leaderboard First Place: Qing Feng Jian Ke, Chen Yi, 130,000 points.
The moment this interface popped up, it exploded. Everyone was asking who this Qing Feng Jian Ke was. How did they achieve 130,000 points? Their goddess only had tens of thousands of points. Who was this guy? 130,000 points in solo mode, who was this expert? Seeking answers.
"Wait, could it be the guy from earlier? Because only he went in before, and it wasn't guild time yet, so the guilds haven't arrived."
A man spoke slowly. This was the player Chen Tian had previously approached to ask a question. He looked at the name on the interface; he had seen this name before – it was the name of that zero-level player. The man spoke slowly, causing the scene to become even more explosive. They couldn't believe a zero-level player could achieve such a feat. It was impossible, and if he was a newcomer, did that mean those who had been playing for a long time had wasted their time?
Outside the Snow Mountain Cave, Chen Tian emerged, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Chen Tian looked at their confused gazes and calmly said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not interested in you."
"It's him, it's him! This name, look, it matches the first place!"
"This guy is actually ranked first, I can't believe it."
"I feel like I've wasted my time playing games, being surpassed by a newcomer."
The surrounding whispers were still audible to Chen Tian. "What's going on?" He looked at the interface behind him. "My goodness, how did I become first? I only went through two stages, and I didn't even meet the requirements for the second stage. What's with these points?"
"Move aside, move aside! Kid, are you the one who ignored our goddess just now?"
A fierce-looking player approached Chen Tian, giving off an unfriendly vibe. Chen Tian, unfazed, calmly asked, "May I ask who your goddess is? Do I know her?"
"Ugh!!"
The group was speechless. The maiden was stunned. Someone actually didn't recognize her and was this lucky? This was the first time she had seen someone not recognize her. Perhaps she could befriend Chen Tian.
The maiden thought this, but in the current situation, she didn't step forward, wanting to see how Chen Tian would handle it.
The fierce-looking man saw that Chen Tian had no sense of danger and stood calmly. The more he looked, the angrier he became. "As an old player, am I afraid of a newcomer? Absolutely not. I'll attack!" Without another word, he lunged.
Chen Tian watched the fierce-looking man's fist move as slowly as a turtle. Chen Tian casually pointed a finger at it. To outsiders, it looked like Chen Tian was seeking death. The level difference was so vast, level fifteen against level ninety-eight, and he dared to use one finger. Who would die if not him?
"Ah!"
Dust rose. A wail came from the dust. A figure flew out of the dust, smashing through more than a dozen trees consecutively. The crowd looked on with an expected expression. There was no need to guess who had flown out; it was definitely...
Looking around, everyone fell silent, even standing there dumbfounded. Chen Tian's voice rang out, "With this strength, you want to attack me? You don't even know your own capabilities."
Chen Tian brushed the dust off his shoulder. The one who had flown out was the fierce-looking man. It was unbelievable.
An old player defeated by a new player in one move. Are all newcomers this terrifying now?
"No, this kid must have gotten something good. Hurry, this thing is mine!"
A voice from the crowd, which Chen Tian couldn't even identify, ignited everyone's greed.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Perhaps something good had helped Chen Tian defeat this old player. Such a thing shouldn't be in the hands of a newcomer.
They all moved towards Chen Tian, surrounding him.
"Kid, hand over that good thing, and we'll spare your life."
"That's right, there are no human race players here. We can all attack you. Don't you want to lose all your levels?"
"Hand it over, and I can help you."
Chen Tian listened to their threats, scratched his ear, and was about to speak when a figure appeared before him. "What kind of players are you, bullying newcomers? Get lost."
It was the maiden from before. Her waist sword was ready to be drawn. Chen Tian's expression turned cold. "I don't need your help."
This was an opportunity to level up, and Chen Tian couldn't just watch it slip away!
The experience gained from player battles was also significant. Especially with the hundred or so people in front of him, if Chen Tian killed them all, he could gain one or two levels.
"Woman, stop meddling in my business. I don't need your help."
Chen Tian pushed the maiden behind him and spread his palm. "Are you coming one by one, or all at once? I'll accompany you."
"Kid, aren't you a bit too arrogant?"
"I can't stand it anymore. I'll tear this guy to shreds."
"Who's first?"
"I'll go first. Let me, Ling Yun Jian Ke, spar with you."
A young man in white leaped from the crowd. The moment he landed, his long sword was drawn and caught. Chen Tian exclaimed, "He actually created the Sword Control skill. Not bad, not bad."
"Ugh!!"
Seeing Chen Tian's pleased and approving expression, it felt like an elder was satisfied with a junior.
"No, I'm the old player here!"
Chen Kaiyun realized the feeling from before had vanished. He didn't understand why he had generated such a thought.
The others watched as if watching a show. The maiden behind Chen Tian pouted, displeased. "How hateful! This is the first time I've protected someone, and I was rejected. I want to see what you're capable of. Don't come begging me for help later."
Chen Tian's ears faintly caught the maiden's grumbling. He smiled, shook his head. Chen Tian wouldn't let this opportunity pass. These people were all experience points! Chen Tian needed a lot of experience to level up now. Player battles could enable double experience mode, requiring high-level players for combat.
Chen Tian didn't hesitate and activated it directly. The scene switched. Chen Kaiyun's expression changed when he saw Chen Tian using this mode. "You're treating me as an experience pack?"
"Are you so confident you can win? You've directly activated the mode."
This was simply too confident.
"Kid, you will pay for your arrogance."
