"Why?" Xia Yuwei asked.

Lu Yang wanted to tell her that he had spent three months practicing this move to master all the angles and distances. It was a miracle Zheng Yuan succeeded on the first try. Besides, Flame Shield could only knock back Oddities of a lower level than himself. Zheng Yuan was only level 3, and the Oddity was level 5, so Zheng Yuan's Flame Shield was actually ineffective against the Oddity.

Just as he was about to explain, Zheng Yuan shouted from the front, "Get ready, I'm starting."

With a flash of white light, Lu Yang, Xia Yuwei, and the others watched Zheng Yuan leap onto the Heavy Armor Warrior's... face.

"Enemy attack." The Heavy Armor Warrior raised its shield and hit Zheng Yuan with a Shield Strike.

Shield Strike: Hitting the opponent's face fiercely with a shield, stunning the target for 2 seconds.

Zheng Yuan was instantly stunned. Then, Lu Yang, Xia Yuwei, and the others watched as Zheng Yuan was hit by 7 spears simultaneously.

System prompt: Player Zheng Yuan has fallen!

Xia Yuwei: "..."

Lan Yu: "..."

Zhang Zibo and others: "..."

Fierce Wine Clear Wind: "..."

Lu Yang shrugged and said, "It seems he hasn't even learned the basic movement of Blink."

Fierce Wine Clear Wind clutched his stomach and said, "I can't help it. He actually jumped onto the Oddity's face. He died so miserably."

Xia Yuwei's face turned red with embarrassment. This time, Zheng Yuan had completely disgraced her.

"Sorry for wasting your time," Xia Yuwei said.

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll wait for him," Lu Yang said, treating it as a mood regulator.

Xia Yuwei gave Lu Yang a grateful look.

Not long after, Zheng Yuan ran back from outside the dungeon. Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, he said, "I messed up just now, I'll try again."

"You're trying again?" Xia Yuwei was anxious.

"That was just an accident, Yuwei, believe me," Zheng Yuan said.

Just as Xia Yuwei was about to speak, Lu Yang extended his right hand in a gesture of invitation and said, "Continue."

Xia Yuwei swallowed her words and said, "Then be careful."

"Don't worry this time, I'll definitely be fine." Zheng Yuan went back to the same spot and after a long deliberation, activated the Blink skill.

This time, Zheng Yuan successfully jumped into the middle of 8 Heavy Armor Warriors, but his landing position was a bit too far back.

"Enemy attack~" The Heavy Armor Warrior at the front turned around and activated the Charge skill towards Zheng Yuan.

Before Zheng Yuan could use Flame Shield, he was stunned in place. Then, Xia Yuwei, Zhang Zibo, and the others watched again as Zheng Yuan was stabbed to death by 8 spears in the same spot.

Everyone: "..."

"Pitiful," Fierce Wine Clear Wind said.

"Why can this Oddity charge?" Xia Yuwei asked.

"When the expert went in just now, he didn't see the Oddity charge," Zhang Zibo said.

Fierce Wine Clear Wind chuckled and said, "What Warrior Oddity can't charge? We know what skills they have, NPCs know the same skills."

"Then why didn't the Oddity charge the expert?" Lan Yu asked curiously.

Fierce Wine Clear Wind replied, "That's because Lu Yang's timing for entering was too precise."

Xia Yuwei, Zhang Zibo, and the others were confused.

Fierce Wine Clear Wind shook his head and said, "Do you know what 'extreme positioning' is?"

Xia Yuwei, Zhang Zibo, and the others still looked bewildered.

Fierce Wine Clear Wind said, "You don't even understand this basic PK technique, yet you dare to start a studio. I have to admire you.

Fine, let me explain. So-called extreme positioning is positioning yourself at the extreme distance of a player's skill.

For example, the Warrior's Charge skill. According to the game rules, the maximum range is 30 yards, and the minimum range is 2 yards.

If a player can position themselves beyond 30 yards, the Warrior cannot charge. Similarly, if a player can position themselves within 2 yards, the Warrior also cannot charge. Zheng Yuan thought he jumped to a good spot, but he didn't realize he landed just outside the 2-yard range of the first Heavy Armor Warrior. It's no wonder the NPC didn't charge immediately."

"There's such a thing?" Lan Yu asked in surprise.

Fierce Wine Clear Wind nodded and said, "Of course. Do you think Lu Yang's jump just now was simple? It actually requires very advanced techniques. And even if you jump in, there's the angle. Have you considered why Lu Yang crouched and released Flame Shield at an angle? He was looking for an angle. Do you think Zheng Yuan knows how to find an angle?"

Xia Yuwei and Zhang Zibo finally understood. When they looked at Lu Yang again, Xia Yuwei's eyes held a different kind of emotion.

Zhang Zibo said, "So there's so much to it."

Fierce Wine Clear Wind said, "Of course. Don't forget, we are tackling an Epic-level dungeon, a top-tier dungeon that even our Purple-Gold Dynasty dares not touch."

Xia Yuwei, Zhang Zibo, and the others suddenly realized that they had underestimated this dungeon and overestimated their own abilities. They realized that they had only made it this far thanks to Lu Yang.

Just then, Zheng Yuan came running from a distance, but his expression was extremely grim. He had failed twice in a row and felt extremely humiliated.

"Yuwei, let me try again..." Zheng Yuan didn't get to finish before Xia Yuwei interrupted him, "Zheng Yuan, you can't learn this method yet. Don't waste your time."

Zheng Yuan already felt ashamed, and he hadn't expected Xia Yuwei to speak to him like this in front of so many people. He immediately became furious and said, "How am I wasting time?"

"You've already failed twice. We don't have time to waste here with you. Go to the side and let Lu Yang take over," Xia Yuwei said.

"Xia Yuwei, you're going too far. I've put up with you for a long time since the dungeon. Why do you always favor Lu Yang in everything? It's just a dungeon, and look at how you're flattering him. Are you planning to offer yourself to him or something?" Zheng Yuan said without restraint.

Xia Yuwei's expression immediately turned extremely unpleasant. She never expected Zheng Yuan to say such things.

"Zheng Yuan, get out of this team. I, Xia Yuwei, don't need a teammate like you," Xia Yuwei said angrily.

"Fine, I'll leave. I don't care for it anyway." Zheng Yuan took out a town portal scroll and flew back to the main city.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Lu Yang was also embarrassed. He hadn't expected Zheng Yuan to be such a jerk. He said, "Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this to cause internal conflict."

Xia Yuwei shook her head and said, "It's not your fault. Zheng Yuan is the one with the problem."

Zhang Zibo and the others didn't speak up for Zheng Yuan this time. Lu Yang had tolerated Zheng Yuan's behavior many times along the way. Now that Zheng Yuan had quit the team in a fit of embarrassment and nonsensical accusations, it had nothing to do with Lu Yang.

"Master, let's continue," Xia Yuwei said.

Lu Yang nodded, and a white light flashed as he Blinked to the middle of the two groups of Heavy Armor Warriors.

"Flame Shield!"

One group of Heavy Armor Warriors was knocked into the water trough, and the other group was knocked into the underground river.

"Clear Wind and Black Armor, get ready to pull the mobs," Lu Yang shouted as he ran back.

Xia Yuwei, Zhang Zibo, and the others watched Lu Yang perform this series of actions in one go, giving them the feeling of watching a work of art.

"That move was perfect," Half-Life Morningstar said.
