After battling the Wolf King until now, Yan Hua Yi Leng and the others had seen all of its skills and knew what its skill activation prelude looked like. Thus, with Yan Hua Yi Leng and Night Rain Madman taking turns using stun skills, there was a high probability of interrupting it, and there would be no suspense afterward.

Time ticked by, and after more than ten seconds, the Demonized Wolf King howled at the sky, clearly preparing to use its [Wolf King Summon] skill. Without Yan Hua Yi Leng needing to urge him, Night Rain Madman immediately activated his [Charge] skill. However, to everyone's slight disappointment, his skill missed.

Yan Hua Yi Leng had been closely watching the Wolf King. After Night Rain Madman's skill proved ineffective, she decisively unleashed [Frozen Arrow]. To everyone's delight, the Wolf King's skill was interrupted. This meant it would have to wait another five minutes before it could use the skill again.

After breaking free from the ice, the Wolf King unhesitatingly cast [Wolf King Ice Armor]. Since both Yan Hua Yi Leng and Night Rain Madman's skills were on cooldown, they could only let it happen.

However, everyone was prepared and no longer approached within 15 meters of the Wolf King.

As for Ye Luo, when his HP dropped below 300, he decisively consumed a mutated Major Blood Recovery Pill, raising his HP to 400. For the next ten seconds, his HP recovered nearly 20 points per second, almost negating the effect of the chilling aura.

Thus, with the support of the pill and Ye Yu Yaorao's [Spring Return Technique], Ye Luo's HP remained above 270 until the Wolf King was killed and dissolved into specks of white light.

"Ding~!"

System Notification (China): Congratulations to Yan Hua Yi Leng, Ye Luo Zhi Qiu, Night Rain Misty, Night Rain Madman... for defeating the Demonized Wolf King and achieving the first kill of an over-level-10 boss. As a special reward, your experience gains are doubled. All participating members receive 1 skill point and 100 reputation points.

The system announcement played three times consecutively, echoing throughout the entire China server.

Thanks to the doubled experience, Ye Luo felt a warmth spread through him as he leveled up to 11. The others around him also mostly leveled up by one.

Leveling up by one made Night Rain Misty and the others overjoyed, but being on the system announcement made them even more excited.

"Haha, I never thought I'd make it onto the system announcement! The Wolf King's first kill, tsk tsk. This time, our Night Rain Family has become famous. With this kind of start in the early game, it'll be easier to recruit experts later on," Night Rain Mad Song said with a hearty laugh, clearly exhilarated.

Making it onto the system announcement was most important for guild administrators. Night Rain Misty's pretty face was full of smiles as she chuckled, "I didn't expect the first kill to be announced nationwide. That's quite interesting."

"Yeah, but it would be even better if our names were at the front..." some people said, wanting more.

Compared to the Night Rain Family's excitement, Yan Hua Yi Leng and Ye Luo Zhi Qiu were much calmer. They were more focused on the system rewards and the items dropped by the Wolf King.

A skill point was almost useless to Ye Luo at this moment, as he didn't have any passive skills to upgrade. However, having one was better than none. But skill points were very important to Yan Hua Yi Leng. She decisively upgraded her [Ice Spirit Power] skill to Master level, increasing the bonus ice damage to 40 points and the slow effect on targets to 20%.

Next was the Wolf King's drop. Seeing the five light orbs and a pile of gold coins on the ground, Ye Luo's lips curved into a smile.

"A bow, a cloak, a ring, a skill book, a wolf pelt, and 6 gold coins. The harvest is quite good." Despite saying this, Yan Hua Yi Leng's tone was as indifferent as ever: "Night Rain Misty, do you remember our agreement? Do you want to pick first, or should I?"

"Sister Yan Hua, we wouldn't have been able to achieve the Demon Wolf's first kill without you, so you should pick one first," Night Rain Misty said generously.

"It's an old rule in the online gaming world: we don't look at equipment stats. We take turns picking, one item each," Yan Hua Yi Leng stated calmly, then looked at Ye Luo: "Do you want to pick, or should I?"

"You pick," Ye Luo said casually. Although he had only interacted with Yan Hua Yi Leng for a short time, he knew she wasn't someone who would betray a friend for profit, so he felt at ease letting her choose.

Not surprised by Ye Luo's answer, Yan Hua Yi Leng looked at him and said, "You lack a cloak and a ring. I..."

"Forget the cloak, I've already ordered one. I'll be getting it in a few hours," Ye Luo quickly shook his head and then swiftly switched to the private chat channel: "Yan Hua, Tailor Zhang can craft equipment using animal hides. This Wolf King pelt can at least be used to craft a Bronze-grade cloak."

"So, you killed the Toad King and got the Toad King Skin, and then had a cloak custom-made." Yan Hua Yi Leng deduced this easily and instantly understood why Ye Luo was telling her this: "I understand. I'll take the Wolf King pelt."

By leaving the cloak for himself and choosing a seemingly useless Wolf King pelt, he was undoubtedly doing the Night Rain Family a small favor. In reality, he gained quite a bit, as they didn't know what grade the dropped cloak was.

"Yan Hua, you're an Archer. Let's pick a bow for you first. It seems your current bow is still level 10 system equipment," Ye Luo switched back to the public channel. "We need to level up together. If your attack power is stronger, our leveling speed will be faster. Of course, choosing that skill book is also good. Equipment will eventually become obsolete, but skills can be used forever."

"Based on my past experience, this skill book is likely one of the three skills the Wolf King used, so it's useless to us. We also can't give it to anyone else in the guild before level 40," Yan Hua Yi Leng said. Seeing Ye Luo's surprised expression, she ignored it and looked at Night Rain Misty: "I'll take the ring."

Upon hearing this, Night Rain Misty picked up the ring. Instantly, her spirit lifted, and a hint of regret flashed in her eyes, clearly indicating that the ring's stats were very good. However, she was magnanimous and traded it to Yan Hua Yi Leng. The equipment's stats then appeared:

[Wolf King Ring] (Ring - Bronze)

Physical Attack: 35—40

Strength: +10

Additional Trait: Recovers 5 HP per second

Durability: 150/150

Required Level: 10

Seeing the stats of this ring, everyone gasped, thinking that Bronze-grade equipment stats were indeed powerful.

Without assigning this equipment for now, Yan Hua Yi Leng looked at Night Rain Misty: "Now it's your turn to choose."

"I'll take the skill book," Night Rain Misty said. As she picked up the skill book, a smile appeared on her face.

As Ye Luo had said, equipment quickly became obsolete, but skill books did not. Perhaps Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng wouldn't need it, but the Night Rain Family had many members with various professions, so it would definitely be useful.

Afterward, Night Rain Misty also showed Ye Luo and the others the skill book:

[Ice Armor Technique] (Skill Book)

Skill Description: Upon learning, Mages can draw upon frost power to grant a target a layer of ice armor. At the initial level, it increases defense by 10% and slows down enemy units attacking the target by 10%, and attack speed by 10%. Lasts for 5 minutes, with a 30-second cooldown.

Requirements: Mage only.

This skill was a scaled-down version of [Wolf King Ice Armor]. Although it lacked the chilling aura effect, it excelled in its long duration and the ability to be cast on multiple targets, making monster grinding much safer.

"That's a powerful skill book. It's much more valuable to you than a piece of Bronze-grade equipment," Yan Hua Yi Leng said indifferently, then added, "Next, I'll choose the bow."

As if she had known Yan Hua Yi Leng would make this choice, Night Rain Misty quickly ordered her subordinates to pick up the bow. After a brief inspection, she traded it to Yan Hua Yi Leng, smiling lightly, "Congratulations, Sister Yan Hua, you've obtained a very powerful weapon."

[Wolf Fang Bow] (Weapon - Bronze)

Physical Attack: 40—40

Agility: +10

Additional Trait: Energy arrows fired have a piercing effect, increasing damage by 10%.

Attack Interval: 2.2 seconds

Durability: 150/150

Required Level: 10

The physical attack is very powerful, and it also adds the agility attribute that archers need most. The additional trait is also very strong. After equipping this weapon, Yan Hua Yi Leng's attack power will be greatly improved.

Yan Hua Yi Leng calmly put away the bow and then looked at Ye Yu Yaorao, her meaning was self-evident.

"Sister Yan Hua, I'll choose the cloak," Ye Yu Yaorao said. After glancing at the cloak's attributes, the smile on her face deepened. She then asked, "What will you choose next? There's only one wolf skin and gold coins left..."

Although Ye Yu Yaorao didn't know what kind of equipment the wolf skin could be used for, she knew it was very precious. However, compared to that, she hoped to get the gold coins. After all, with these gold coins, her team could learn several skills, making it much easier to kill powerful monsters.

"I'll choose the wolf skin," Yan Hua Yi Leng said calmly, ignoring Ye Yu Yaorao's sigh of relief. She traded a few pieces of equipment to her, which were the ones she had borrowed from the Night Rain Family earlier.

Seeing this, Ye Luo did not hesitate and returned the borrowed equipment as well.

"Sister Yan Hua, thank you for your help this time," Ye Yu Yaorao thanked them again. She looked at Ye Luo, her tone tinged with a hint of confusion, "Sister Yan Hua, is Brother Ye Luo from your Misty Pavilion? I remember your Misty Pavilion has never accepted male players..."

"Not yet, but who knows in the future," Yan Hua Yi Leng said calmly, having heard Ye Yu Yaorao trying to recruit Ye Luo. She then looked at Ye Luo, "Of course, that still depends on Ye Luo's wishes."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu Yaorao was slightly disappointed. She could only look at Ye Luo and say, "Brother Ye Luo, I wonder if you're interested in joining our Night Rain Family? I can recommend you for the position of group leader..."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to join a guild yet," Ye Luo politely declined. His tone then shifted, "However, we can cooperate again in the future. It would be very beneficial for both of us."

Although slightly disappointed that Ye Luo wouldn't join, Ye Yu Yaorao was somewhat prepared, and Ye Luo's approval was already what she had hoped for. She nodded lightly, "Okay, we'll cooperate again if there's a chance."
