Chapter 145 – Is distance a problem? Caught between two women, Lin Jichen decided to vent his frustration on the Poison Sect Elder. With Ren Lan drawing aggro and Jiang Luoyu controlling the enemy, Lin Jichen could unleash his full power. He no longer needed to dodge skills or outsmart the opponent; he just had to keep swinging his sword. Thanks to Ren Lan's help, other players quickly retaliated. The president of Misty Rain Pavilion was grateful for Lin Jichen's assistance and assigned dozens of healers to restore their health and mana. Before long, the Poison Sect Elder lay in a pool of blood. [Cultivation +2000! Battle Merit +200!] Lin Jichen gained more battle merit and cultivation, though less than from the short elder before. That was because the short elder was a mid-Crystal Realm challenge, and Lin Jichen had soloed it. This time, he had the help of Ren Lan, Jiang Luoyu, a group of healers, and other players who contributed some damage. The battle merit and cultivation were shared. As for the Poison Sect Elder's Soul Burial Mound, Lin Jichen didn't hesitate to take it. "Little Lin, what good stuff dropped?" Ren Lan asked curiously. Lin Jichen checked and found a Mysterious Grade item! No way! This is unreal! [Mysterious Grade Martial Art: Explosive Killing Heavy Punch]: Dash in a chosen direction, delivering a deadly punch within 15 meters, dealing 850 base damage, causing a 1-second stun, and putting the target in a weakened state for 20 seconds. Also, a shield equal to the damage dealt is formed, and the target's aggro is forcibly transferred to the user. Weakened State: All attacks and skill damage of the target are reduced by 30%. Cooldown: 20 minutes, Mana Cost: 800 points. Requirement: Body Cultivators with 60+ Root Bone can learn. Wow! This is amazing! Lin Jichen exclaimed, knowing this martial art was famous in his past life, a must-have for top-tier body cultivators. "It's a skill book, perfect for you. Go ahead and learn it." Without hesitation, Lin Jichen handed the skill book to Ren Lan. Although selling it at the auction house would fetch a price higher than the Shadow Blade, making it a centerpiece item, Lin Jichen preferred Ren Lan to learn it. Ren Lan's face flushed with excitement after reading the skill's attributes. "Little Lin, you're the best! Truly my good... friend~" Ren Lan originally wanted to say "brother," but seeing Jiang Luoyu nearby, she deliberately said "friend," emphasizing the word to make Jiang Luoyu ponder. Jiang Luoyu's expression changed slightly but quickly returned to a smile. Lin Jichen pointed to the mountain, "Up there, the Grand Elder and Sect Leader should have much more merit." "You mean we should rush up and take the merit first?" Ren Lan's eyes lit up. Jiang Luoyu was also tempted. "It's possible, but it's very challenging. If they team up, we might not handle it," Lin Jichen said. In his past life, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect had two late-Golden Elixir Grand Elders and an early-Golden Elixir Sect Leader. He wasn't sure if that had changed. "Let's go check it out. If we can handle it, we'll fight; if not, we'll retreat," Ren Lan said eagerly, wanting to test her new Mysterious Grade martial art. "Luoyu, what do you think?" Lin Jichen had no objections but wanted Jiang Luoyu's opinion. Seeing Ren Lan's eagerness, Jiang Luoyu couldn't disagree. The three quietly left the main group, sneaking up the mountain while others dealt with elite disciples. To their surprise, they weren't the only ones with this idea. Others had already gone up and were fighting a red-haired demonic cultivator. As the commander, Lin Jichen could share information about the enemy through the team channel. [Demonic Cultivator: Grand Elder] [Sect: Ten Thousand Poison Sect] [Cultivation: Late Crystal Realm] [Vitality: /] [Strength: 240] [Defense: 201] [Speed: 215] The group seemed to be a small guild with over a thousand members. They were frantically attacking the red-haired demonic cultivator. But their attacks were ineffective against the Grand Elder. A single mana shield from the Grand Elder easily nullified their skills. Thinking they could overwhelm the Grand Elder with skills was wishful thinking. Unless their numbers increased by dozens of times. Moreover, with a casual move from the Grand Elder, many players would die. Despite the one-sided battle, the players refused to give up, fighting desperately. Typical overconfidence, leading to self-destruction.
