Virtual Ascension: Awakening the Supreme Talent
Chapter 40 – Exploded the Intermediate Fireball Spell
In front of the chubby guy, Zhang Yi deliberately revealed his identity. His goal was to have the chubby guy spread the news about his Divine Talent back to the Safe Zone. Once the people from King's World found out, they would undoubtedly try to cause trouble for Zhang Yi, because Zhang Yi knew King's Glory's nature of "if you can't have it, destroy it."
Zhang Yi was too lazy to seek out the people from King's World himself, so he decided to wait for them to come to him. Then, one by one, he would kill them all!
In this life, Zhang Yi would never again fear King's World.
The chubby guy could never have imagined that the person in front of him was the famous figure known throughout the 886 Safe Zone, who had triggered system announcements twice in a row. It was said that he started with a divine hammer that could crush anyone with a single blow, making even the captain of the thousand-member team King's World, King's Glory, both hate and fear him—Yinuo Qingcheng!
If he had known earlier that this guy was Yinuo Qingcheng, even if Happy Fat Otaku had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to trouble Zhang Yi!
After all, this guy had single-handedly taken on over thirty people from King's World and killed them all, earning the nickname "bug" among players in Zone 886.
Even the thirty professional players from King's World were no match for Zhang Yi. Did they really think, with just three of them, they could kill Zhang Yi?
Happy Fat Otaku was a bit scared and started to back away. Suddenly, a group of players arrived from behind. When Happy Fat Otaku saw the leader, a young archer in silver chainmail with a level as high as 15, he felt a surge of hope and regained his confidence instantly: "Boss, you're finally here!"
With that, Happy Fat Otaku turned his gaze back to Zhang Yi and arrogantly said, "Hmph, my boss is here. Yinuo Qingcheng, you're doomed!"
Zhang Yi looked around, feeling a bit resigned.
So, the "boss" Happy Fat Otaku was referring to was Storm Angel...
Indeed, the group of more than ten players rushing over behind Happy Fat Otaku, all generally around level 14 and fully equipped, were from the Storm Family. The leader, the level 15 silver-armored archer, was Storm Angel!
The silver longbow in his hand was the Silver Moon Bow that Zhang Yi had sold him!
The arrival of the Storm Family caused a stir among the surrounding players.
"Wow, the chubby guy's backing is actually the Storm Family!"
"The Storm Family is on the rise. They've surpassed King's World in just one day, and that Storm Angel is the top expert on the Heaven Ranking in our Zone 886!"
"Even the captain of the Storm Family has come personally. No matter how strong Yinuo Qingcheng is, he's done for! I feel like Storm Angel alone could solo Yinuo Qingcheng, let alone with all those elite players from the Storm Family!"
The people talking clearly didn't know what had happened earlier in the Goblin Forest.
Walking up to Happy Fat Otaku, Storm Angel, who hadn't yet noticed Zhang Yi opposite him, asked Happy Fat Otaku, "What's going on?"
Happy Fat Otaku pointed at Zhang Yi and said to Storm Angel, "Boss, this guy bullied me. He killed Lingyun and Tianxia! Luckily, you came in time. If you were a moment later, I would have been dead too!"
"Oh, who's so arrogant?"
Following Happy Fat Otaku's pointing finger, Storm Angel looked at Zhang Yi.
Suddenly, Storm Angel was stunned. After a long pause, he coldly said, "You dare touch my brother? You're asking for death!"
With the top player of Zone 886, Storm Angel, and the mighty Storm Family backing him, Happy Fat Otaku's legs shook with pride: "Yinuo Qingcheng, did you hear that? I'm brothers with Storm Angel. You dare bully the good brother of the top player? I'm telling you, you're dead!"
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from Storm Angel's hand, piercing through Happy Fat Otaku's head—
"Ding~ You have been attacked by player [Storm Angel], losing 378 HP. You are dead!"
Happy Fat Otaku, who was just looking smug, looked incredulously at Storm Angel, who was aiming his bow at him, and said in shock, "Boss..."
Putting down his longbow, Storm Angel said expressionlessly to Happy Fat Otaku, "Sorry, the brother I was talking about isn't you."
"It's him." Storm Angel pointed at Zhang Yi.
The next moment, Happy Fat Otaku, who was killed in one shot by Storm Angel, fell to the ground with disbelief on his face and turned into a white light, disappearing.
This scene stunned all the onlookers around.
Player A: "What's going on? Isn't Storm Angel on the same side as that chubby guy? Why did he kill his own and call Yinuo Qingcheng his brother?"
Player B: "Oh my god, that damage, and it's non-critical too. That's insane, even higher than Yinuo Qingcheng's damage! The top player is truly terrifying!!"
Seeing Storm Angel kill his chubby brother without a word, Zhang Yi was also taken aback and said to Storm Angel, "Killing your own? Isn't that a bit harsh?"
Storm Angel just smiled faintly: "My own? I'm not really close to him. He's just a friend I met in another online game. But you, you're my brother, Zhang Yi!"
Being personally called "brother" by Storm Angel, the leader of the Storm Family and the top player on the Heaven Ranking, countless bystander players cast envious glances at Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi casually replied, "Well, thanks, brother."
But speaking of which, has Storm Angel's damage gotten this high already? Honestly, the damage he just dealt to Happy Fat Otaku shocked Zhang Yi.
378, and it wasn't even a critical hit. That's higher than the non-critical damage Zhang Yi dealt with a Fireball Spell and Lucky Strike on Lone Steps to the Clouds!
It seems that excluding skill bonuses and through damage calculation, Storm Angel's attack power must have exceeded 300, even higher than Zhang Yi's!
Terrifying indeed!
Just because Zhang Yi gave Storm Angel a 2-star bow, did it allow him to soar in the early stages?
It goes without saying, besides the weapon, the ring Storm Angel has must also be a high-level rare item, putting him far ahead of Zhang Yi in terms of equipment.
While Zhang Yi was thinking about this, Storm Angel had unknowingly come up to him.
"Thank you for selling me the Silver Moon Bow earlier. Thanks to this bow, I've been able to develop so quickly in the early stages."
As Storm Angel finished speaking, Zhang Yi nodded: "And thanks for dealing with a problem for me just now."
Storm Angel, however, seemed a bit embarrassed: "I thought you'd say I stole your kill. With your strength, killing him is just a flick of the wrist, right?"
With that, Storm Angel suddenly handed something to Zhang Yi: "Sorry for stealing your kill. The item he dropped should rightfully be yours."
Looking at the item Storm Angel handed over, Zhang Yi was surprised—
It was a green Skill Book: [Intermediate Fireball Spell]!
