Su Yitang saw the screenshots of the two Dou Wang ' deaths and was immediately filled with praise for Yang Shan:

"Wow, boss~~~ How come you're so lucky! Do handsome men have better luck? These drops mean tens of thousands more in profit!"

"Boss, the way you collected the dropped items just now was so cool! No hesitation, so elegant! After you kill the other Dou Wang, could you do that again? I forgot to record it, that's the main problem."

Although Yang Shan knew that Su Yitang had said this on purpose.

But it sounded so good! What man could resist such sweet talk? So Yang Shan said with a proud look, "Let's go, keep killing!"

Su Yitang giggled, "Okay, I'll go wherever the boss goes!"

Yang Shan and Su Yitang soon found two more unlucky guys.

Following the same pattern, they knocked their opponents to the ground in two or three moves, and then the eager players unleashed their strongest Dou Technique!

This time, however, only one of the two unlucky guys made it out alive.

The other player couldn't withstand the intense firepower and was finished off by some player.

Su Yitang was heartbroken. "Ah, it's gone!"

Yang Shan flicked Su Yitang's forehead with his finger. "Don't bite off more than you can chew. There are nearly 30,000 players on the ground, and some of them will inevitably understand. Cooperation is the only way to achieve a win-win situation. You can't try to do everything yourself."

Yang Shan didn't care at all that the players below had gotten the kill.

To put it simply, Yang Shan was cooperating with all the players in the room.

With their Dou Qi, he and Su Yitang could probably kill ten Dou Wang.

But if he cooperates with all the players, then even if Yang Shan only gets half of the loot from the eighty-plus Dou Wang in the Black-Corner Region, the profit will still be five times the previous amount! How could Yang Shan possibly let such a good thing go to waste?

Meanwhile, many players on the Dou Ling also felt that they couldn't possibly let such a good thing slip by.

At this moment, the players of the Jia Nan Academy are united as never before.

Two more figures fell from the sky, and the players who were already prepared immediately started "setting off firecrackers" on the ground.

But just as this round of bombardment ended, a Blood Shadow suddenly rushed into the blast radius.

As the aftershocks subsided, Xue Blood Rampage a Black-Corner Region Dou Wang on the forehead with his palm.

As the NPC Dou Wang turned into white light, all the items that fell to the ground were collected by Blood Rampage.

Blood Rampage actually returned and even stole the loot? Just how bold is he?

Blood Rampage was laughing one second, but the next second he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he saw with his own eyes a player directly in front of him open his mouth and say something, and then strike him with a Palm Force.

Although the Palm Force posed little threat and was easily dodged by Palm Force Blood Rampage, it was like a lit fuse.

"Damn it! Blood Rampage, are you courting death? You lured Fan Lao down here to be our shield, and now you want to steal our kills!"

"Damn it, Blood Rampage! I'll trap you, you monkey!"

"Are you being a masochist? You're a Dou Wang, why aren't you fighting your way up there? You're trying to steal the fruits of Yang Great God's NPC battles? Well, I'll steal your fruits!"

"Damn it, die!"

"Kill him! If we don't kill him, none of our 30,000 men can defeat him!"

"Great God Yang"

"Civilized! Brothers, be civilized! Blood Rampage, I wish you a monthly income of 1800!"

No one knows which guy started this whole thing, but Blood Rampage's ears were filled with "blessings" for him. "Blood Rampage, I wish you a son soon!"

"Blood Rampage, I hope you can't use your medical insurance for major surgery tomorrow!"

"You guys are being too harsh. Be gentler. Let me handle this. I'll arrange a love story for him that will leave a lasting impression! Blood Rampage, I wish you marry Version T0!"

"Damn, bro, that blessing is too much! Awesome!"

Blood Rampage had considered that his actions would provoke resentment from some players.

But he didn't care! What did these players have to do with him? Getting the profits was what mattered! However, Blood Rampage didn't expect that it wasn't just a few players who were disgusted, but all the players present! Moreover, they reacted quickly, and their Dou Technique were released at an incredibly fast speed. He dodged one attack after another, and then found that the frequency of the attacks began to increase at an exaggerated rate! Later, he was even facing thousands of attacks every second!

Blood Rampage doesn't possess the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" skill; seventy percent of his abilities come from the "Blood Devouring Scripture."

Blood Rampage was eventually engulfed by the protective energy.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already at the resurrection point of the Jia Nan Academy.

Moreover, the respawn point is in the Outer Courtyard.

This time, the main storyline has absolutely nothing to do with him anymore!

"Grass!"

Blood Rampage was somewhat unwilling.

But he quickly composed himself and began to review the video recording of his actions.

He needs to identify his shortcomings and learn from them so that he can do better and gain more benefits in the next operation! The first thing he needs to do is upgrade.

Looking at his Nine Star Dou Ling level, Blood Rampage felt a pang of heartache.

At the Dou Wang level, losing even once will result in losing one star.

He had almost reached the level of Two-Star Dou Wang in terms of experience points.

Now I need to gain some more experience and undergo the Heart Demon Trial again before I can return to the Dou Wang.

"Fortunately, no equipment dropped, just a little experience points. I can just grind a bit more. Compared to the gains this time, I still made quite a bit."

Blood Rampage was still analyzing the video when he felt a chilling sensation behind him.

Turning around, he saw a large group of players staring at him menacingly.

Blood Rampage completely ignored him.

Normally, players at the respawn point are prohibited from fighting, unless an NPC intervenes, in which case the rule will change.

But not being able to use your hands doesn't prevent you from using your mouth!

How convenient it is for players to exchange messages! "So you're called Blood Rampage, huh?"

"I heard you don't do any official work in the Inner Courtyard?"

"Come on, I just bought three pounds of garlic from the system shop, let me scold him!"

"Look at you, so capable! Aren't you supposed to Dou Wang? Why Dou Ling?"

Inner Courtyard, Yang Shan almost burst out laughing.

Blood Rampage is indeed a despicable bastard.

He just didn't expect that Blood Rampage would only manage to kill one Dou Wang before being killed by the many indignant players present.

Su Yitang looked puzzled. "Boss, that Blood Rampage stole the kill, aren't you angry?"

"Why would I be angry? It's just a game; anything can happen."

Su Yitang was just about to praise Yang Shan's magnanimity again when Yang Shan's next words were unexpected:

"It's a pity that Blood Rampage died too quickly, otherwise I would have had a legitimate reason to take action against him. I have over sixty points of Good Fortune Points. If I had killed him, I might have gotten some top-tier items, which would have been a huge profit!"

Old Schemer is still Old Schemer.

It's a pity that the plan didn't keep up with the changes, otherwise, Yang Shan would have really ripped off more than 60 points of Good Fortune!

Su Yitang secretly rejoiced, realizing that choosing to sign with Yang Shan was truly the best decision she had ever made in this game.

Who would actually fall into Yang Shan's trap? Su Yitang couldn't help but shudder, not daring to think about it any further!

"Su Yitang, stop daydreaming, let's go!"

"Okay, boss!"

Meanwhile, Fan Lao, who had already used secret techniques multiple times to save his life, arrived at Han Feng's side.

Hu Qian was at the Dou Huang Peak, while Han Feng was only Nine Star Dou Huang. (The detailed difference between peak and nine-star is explained in Chapter 95.) However, Han Feng relied on the Sea Heart Flame to suppress Hu Qian completely.

If it weren't for Hu Qian experience and the many exquisite Dou Technique he possessed, he would probably have been beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Han Feng.

He was no match for Han Feng to begin with, and now Fan Lao had also come. Hu Qian quickly distanced himself, looking on guard.

Han Feng said with dissatisfaction, "How come your Qi and Blood are so severely depleted? You couldn't even defeat several Dou Wang."

Fan Lao shouted, "Even if I let you go, you still can't take it down. Quickly give me some pills to replenish my Qi and Blood; I've finished mine."

Han Feng suppressed the urge to scold Fan Lao Fan Lao and tossed two pills to him instead.

The screams from afar caught Han Feng's attention.

He had been focused on fighting Hu Qian Hu Qian, determined to defeat him and then take the Fallen Heart Flame, and hadn't noticed the battle situation elsewhere.

Just then, Yang Shan and Su Yitang worked together seamlessly, using Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and wind blades to wear down the Dou Wang Dou Wang of the Black-Corner Region, before kicking him to the ground.

Immediately following this was a barrage of Dou Technique from numerous players of the Dou Ling faction.

These Dou Wang either died directly on the ground or barely managed to break through, only to be met with Yang Shan's deadly Side Blade!

Looking around, one wonders why so many of the Dou Wang) from the Black-Corner Region are missing.

Han Feng was quite certain that the number of people he brought this time exceeded that of the Jia Nan Academy.

Even with the assistance of a mysterious Eight Star Dou Huang with dark attributes, they still possess an advantage.

In particular, the number of Dou Wang is around eighty on the Black-Corner Region Domain side.

On the Jia Nan Academy side, including the ten Dou Wang students, there were only about fifty students.

But what about now?

The Black-Corner Region has lost at least twenty Dou Wang! Especially after Xiao Xun'er, Zi Yan, and Xiao Aotian recovered.

Xiao Aotian and his capable assistant Li Batian also followed Yang Shan and Su Yitang's method and kicked the Dou Wang of the Black-Corner Region to the ground.

What made Han Feng even more upset was that the Gold Silver Duo were about to be unable to stop Su Qian! The Gold Silver Duo could indeed fight beyond their level when they joined forces, but "fighting" did not mean they could win! Especially since Su Qian was Two-Star Dou Zong with Golden Word Seal on his panel. As the Great Elder of the Inner Courtyard, he had no shortage of Earth-rank Dou Technique.

For the Gold Silver Duo to want to defeat Su Qian is simply wishful thinking.

The key is how long they can hold off Su Qian.

Han Feng wanted to take advantage of the time when Su Qian was busy to take away the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, Hu Qian stood firmly in front of him, preventing Han Feng from getting close to the Heavenly Flame Training Tower for a short period of time.

Hu Qian sneered, "Han Feng! Now you know how powerful my Jia Nan Academy is, right? You might be able to escape unscathed today, but don't be so hasty. It's been a long time since the corpse of Dou Huang expert has hung on the Dead Spirit Tree of my Jia Nan Academy!"

Han Feng was also very troubled by the possibility of retaliation from the Jia Nan Academy.

But he absolutely had to get his hands on the Heavenly Flames! "Fan Lao, help me hold off Hu Qian!"

Fan Lao even doubted that he had misheard:

"Why do you think so highly of me?"

Han Feng's face turned red with anger, but Fan Lao was telling the truth.

If he could even Hu Qian, would he still be a Four Star Dou Huang?

Before the two could reach a conclusion, Ban Lao roared from afar, "Fan Lao! You old scoundrel, aren't you going to come and help?"

As Seven Star Dou Huang, Ban Lao Lao's poison-attribute Dou Qi is also strange and difficult to deal with.

But the Ban Lao a (purple; rising) panel.

His opponent, Ling Ying, was Eight Star Dou Huang with Golden Word Seal! His strange dark-attribute Dou Qi always managed to deflect Ban Lao's poison.

The fact that Ban Lao has been able to hold on until now shows how experienced he is in fighting! But Ban Lao called for help because he really couldn't hold on any longer! As soon as he finished shouting, Ban Lao was hit by Ling Ying's dark energy.

The already severely damaged Dou Qi Armor finally succumbed to the strain and shattered.

The aftershocks caused Ban Lao to cough up blood.

At the same time, the Gold Silver Duo, who were fighting against Su Qian, finally retreated, and their defeat was becoming increasingly difficult to conceal.

Gold Elder shouted, "Han Feng, haven't you solved this yet?"

I'll take care of your mother!

Han Feng really squeezed those words out through gritted teeth.

If Hu Qian were so easy to deal with, wouldn't the Dou Huang Peak become a joke? Su Qian could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Han Feng and said domineeringly:

"What, still not planning to retreat? Or shall we continue fighting?"

Yang Shan exclaimed that things were in bad shape when he saw this situation.

Han Feng is retreating! There are still so many Dou Wang, how can he possibly kill them all?

"Su Yitang, hurry, hurry!"

"Okay, okay!"

All the Dou Emperor from the Jia Nan Academy and Black-Corner Region gathered together, facing off in pairs. It seemed they were going to exchange some harsh words before it was over.

It can't really come to the point where one side is completely wiped out.

At the very least, it's absolutely impossible for Han Feng.

Those helpers were only there because of Han Feng's connections and the pills he provided. They weren't Han Feng's loyal followers. If the fight really got to that point, not a single one of them would stay to help Han Feng.

Han Feng wanted to struggle a bit, but before he could even open his mouth, he saw Yang Shan and Su Yitang chasing after the Dou Wang of the Black-Corner Region like two stalkers! But the two were incredibly fast, and they could catch up with one person in a short while and knock him to the ground in no time.

Either they'll never be able to get up again, or they'll get stabbed in the throat by Yang Shan once they do!

Especially when he saw the direction Yang Shan was heading, that Six-Star Dou Wang was Han Feng's subordinate.

Han Feng: "You little bastard, stop right there!"

Su Qian stood in front of Han Feng, smiling smugly:

"What? Heartbroken? This is nothing! Come on, Han Feng, keep hitting!"

Jia Nan Academy was originally at a significant disadvantage, and this battle was bound to result in heavy losses.

However, Yang Shan, along with several Dou Wang students, first killed Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Gates, in front of Han Feng.

They also defeated Fan Lao, the leader of the Blood Sect, so badly that he fled in disarray.

Not only did they close the gap in Dou Emperor combat power, Jia Nan Academy even gained an advantage.

That's not all! Yang Shan actually cooperated with the Inner Courtyard's Dou Ling students who were originally unable to participate in the battle to massacre the Dou Wang of the Black-Corner Region!

The leaders of all factions in the Black-Corner Region are now heartbroken.

That's Dou Wang!

Not the kind of powerful Da Dou Shi you see everywhere on the street!

How many resources does it take to cultivate a Dou Wang? What power in the Black-Corner Region would refuse Dou Wang expert to join them? That's high-end combat power! And now? They're being slaughtered like pigs!

Not only Han Feng, but also the Gold Silver Duo, Ban Lao, and Fan Lao were all trembling with heartache.

Finally, Ban Lao couldn't hold back any longer. If they continued fighting, Thousand Speck City would truly only have him and Yuan Lie as Dou Emperor, and there would be a gap in the Dou Wang! "Han Feng, there's no chance anymore. Retreat. If you don't retreat now, I'm afraid you won't be able to come up with the reward!"

They had agreed to come to Han Feng's request, and since they had lost Dou Wang, Han Feng had to provide some compensation.

With so many Dou Wang falling, plus the promised rewards, Han Feng is bound to bleed a lot this time!

Yang Shan and Su Yitang continued their relentless killing under the watchful eyes of a group of Dou Huang expert!

Those Dou Wang were terrified of being killed, and one by one they activated their Dou Qi Transformation Wings and hid behind their leaders.

"Sect Leader! That brat has gone mad; he's trying to kill us!"

"Sect Master, did you see the look in those brats' eyes on the ground? They look like they want to eat people alive!"

"Sect Leader, if this continues, we'll all be wiped out!"

Compared to the black-faced Dou Emperor of the Black-Corner Region, the elders of the Jia Nan Academy had such wide smiles that their wrinkles were so thick they could trap mosquitoes!

Yang Shan received numerous system notifications.

Back in the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng, the Gold Silver Duo, Ban Lao, and Fan Lao all had a favorability rating of -40, and it was still decreasing!

The Eight Gates are still the most forgiving; even at this point, the NPCs from the Eight Gates haven't lost any favorability points.

Their Eight Gates ' leader, Yuan Yi! Yuan Yi is gone!

No wonder they didn't deduct any favorability points; they're all terrified of Yang Shan!

"Walk!"

Now that things have come to this, Han Feng doesn't want to say another word.

But he was absolutely unwilling to give up the Fallen Heart Flame just like that.

If he could obtain the Fallen Heart Flame and cultivate Fallen Heart Flame flame to "Dou Zong level enhancement," he would not only easily break into the Dou Zong, but his cultivation journey up to the Dou Zong Peak Dou Zong also be exceptionally easy.

Even sleeping all day can increase your cultivation level!

With two Heavenly Flames in hand, he would be invincible even against Su Qian! Seeing Han Feng choose to retreat, the other Dou Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

If the fighting continues, they might really have to break the contract and retreat first.

Even the best medicine is no match for life. Su Qian did not order a pursuit.

Jia Nan Academy also suffered heavy losses and incurred enormous depletion in this incident.

Su Qian commanded, "Great Elder, each perform your duties, we..."

At this point, Su Qian paused for a moment.

Eight corpses lay on the ground.

The corpses of eight Dou Wang elders!

Normally, when an NPC dies, their corpse should turn into white light and "refresh" within a short time.

But their bodies are still there.

Yang Shan also noticed the situation below.

Even when targeting the Dou Wang, he was willing to take a detour to help the elders who were at a disadvantage.

However, at the beginning, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great.

Even Yang Shan couldn't protect everyone under these circumstances.

On the ground, there was an elderly woman who, though old, was still beautiful.

There were many female gamers squatting around her.

Elder Yan, please get up.

"Elder Yan, you haven't taught me the Fierce Flying Gang yet. Please open your eyes and look at me."

"Elder Yan, I haven't apologized to you for our argument last time."

Elder Yan.

Beside Yang Shan, Su Yitang's voice was somewhat low. "That Elder Yan Wenyu is from the Outer Courtyard. He only teaches female players. He is very strict when teaching, but very kind in private."

"When I Outer Courtyard, she didn't teach me, but I heard that on the first day of school, she personally draped the academy coats over the players she taught."

"The next day, I took the students out for a field trip and gave them many small accessories that suited them very well."

"When we took them to actual combat and they encountered a fifth-tier magical beast, Elder Yan Wenyu stood in front of them and was seriously injured, but none of the players lost a single drop of blood."

"Actually, I had dinner with her before. It was by chance. She treated me and praised me for my talent, saying it was a pity she didn't teach me."

At this point, Su Yitang couldn't help but scratch her head:

"As I talk about it, my nose gets a little sore. Tian Yao Company is great in every way, and sometimes the NPCs they design are just too good, so I can't bear to part with them."

Yang Shan nodded and replied casually, "What Tian Yao Company wants to do is to use data to create a world that is essentially virtual, but no player will actually treat it as a virtual world."

Su Yitang said helplessly:

"That's such a loss. Once an NPC dies, they're gone. Especially someone like Elder Yan Wenyu, they shouldn't have just disappeared like that."

Yang Shan: "You only know how to cherish something when you lose it. Guess why her corpse hasn't respawned yet?"

Su Yitang was taken aback. "Huh? Why?"

Yang Shan laughed and said, "Just watch."

Su Qian slowly descended from mid-air.

Looking at the corpses of the eight elders, he felt extremely distressed.

These eight elders are all front-line mentors in the Inner Courtyard and Outer Courtyard, and they teach students almost every day.

They may have very different personalities, but they are all sincere towards the players.

The data doesn't lie; the favorability ratings are right there in these players' lists!

Su Qian's tone was heavy. "Fellow students, these eight of my colleagues died for the academy and for you. They died a worthy death."

Many players were so grief-stricken that they didn't even hear what Su Qian was saying.

"Battle Through the Heavens" is so realistic. These elders are people you see often, "living" right beside you. "Dear students, do not be too sad. Although the eight elders are dead, their souls have not yet dissipated, and there is still a chance to save them!"

Su Qian said seriously, "But the price to pay for resurrection is several times that of training a Dou Wang."

A burly man who had just been pounding the ground in frustration at his inability to help save his mentor stood up.

His face had been ravaged by time; he must have been around forty years old.

But at this moment, his eyes were as clear as a young boy's. "Great Elder! Just tell me how to revive the elders. If you give me one word, I will stop leveling up and make sure they are brought back!"

Su Qian: "If you are willing, I will list the required items in the Inner Courtyard Mission Hall. Once the items are gathered, I can ask the guardians of the academy to bring them back to life!"

At the same time, all players in the Inner Courtyard and Outer Courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy received a system notification:

[Ding! Attention all Jia Nan Academy players! Due to the fact that the eight elders who died in the main storyline, including Yan Wenyu, Qin Gong, and Bai Xiancheng, had a certain level of favorability with many players, the 'Resurrection Story' has been activated.]

Players at the Jia Nan Academy can accept quests through the Quest Hall. They must then provide the required items to the Jia Nan Academy free of charge. Once all the items are collected, the elder can be resurrected.

Players can view the overall progress bar of the items needed by the fallen elders through their personal panel list!
