Mighty Divine Eagle

Mighty Divine Eagle

What?

Hearing Ye Weiming's words, Tang Sancai was greatly shocked.

As the Tang Clan's top expert, he naturally knew that the sect had skills for crafting mechanisms and traps. But players had only been in the game for a short time. Whether it was sect contributions, money, or cultivation, none of them had enough to learn all the sect's basic skills. Even Tang Sancai, one of the Tang Clan's strongest players, could not possibly cover every aspect.

Although he had not learned mechanism techniques himself, he had seen his fellow disciples use them before. He believed his understanding of traps definitely surpassed that of most players in the game.

Yet Ye Weiming had actually managed it!

Not only was his swordsmanship formidable, but he had discovered the trap before Tang Sancai and even explained it so clearly. How could Tang Sancai not be shocked?

This guy really was no simple character!

Even as he was shocked, Tang Sancai moved. With a flick of his right hand, a Flying Locust Stone appeared between his fingers. He casually tossed it, and the stone immediately became a black streak of light, striking the steel wire hidden in the grass with perfect accuracy.

Crack!

The steel wire snapped at once. Then...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless crossbow bolts shot out from the shadows, including more than a dozen sharpened bamboo stakes. In an instant, the vast area around the steel wire was completely blanketed by hidden weapons.

The barrage continued for a full ten seconds, turning the lush forest into a complete mess.

Seeing this, Ye Weiming and Tang Sancai both felt a chill run down their spines. Imagining themselves caught at the heart of that hidden-weapon barrage... Ye Weiming certainly did not think his Dragon-Phoenix Dance Swordsmanship could withstand it.

As for Tang Sancai... the less said, the better!

To handle such a trap calmly, one would probably need at least Zhang Cuishan's strength, right?

Wasn't it a little excessive to set up such an elaborate trap just to assassinate a soy milk seller?

This was freaking absurd!

What the hell was the system trying to pull?

While shocked and inwardly complaining, Ye Weiming did not forget to send Tang Sancai a party invitation. After the latter accepted, he immediately checked the team's loot distribution method.

Contribution distribution?

Tang Sancai was slightly surprised, but a faint smile appeared on his face. He said nothing, though it was clear that he was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

In "Eternal Chivalry," teams could choose from several reward distribution modes. Contribution distribution was one better suited to parties of strangers. Enemy drops would be allocated according to each player's proportion of contribution. This contribution included not only damage dealt, but also damage taken and various other factors.

The method for calculating contribution was rather complicated. For example, when it came to taking damage, as long as the enemy had targeted you with an attack, the damage from that attack counted toward your contribution, regardless of whether you blocked or dodged it.

This both ensured fair distribution and effectively prevented teammates from slacking off maliciously. The only thing it could not guarantee was that the items placed in each person's inventory would be what they needed.

A swordsman might be assigned a pair of gauntlets, while someone practicing fist techniques might receive a treasured saber.

Thus, this distribution method was not practical for teams that knew one another well. It was only suitable for temporary teams like Ye Weiming and Tang Sancai's, where there was no foundation of trust between them.

"Hmph! I never expected the once-unrivaled Mighty Divine Eagle to need the protection of two wet-behind-the-ears brats now. How tragic! How laughable!"

Amid words filled with contempt and mockery, three figures darted out from the woods. One stood in front while the other two took the rear, surrounding the three of them.

The speaker was a dark-faced man blocking their path. A black mole sat on his cheek, and his brows radiated a heavy hostility. He held a treasured sword in both arms, a smug smile at the corner of his mouth as his gaze settled on Soy Milk Xiaobai. "Back then, you wiped out the crew I had just assembled. You even chased me for a thousand li, and I nearly lost my life to you."

"But the wheel of fortune turns. I, Lin Zhipei, have returned!"

Hearing the newcomer's imposing opening speech, Tang Sancai could not help giving Soy Milk Xiaobai a strange look. "You? The Mighty Divine Eagle?"

Soy Milk Xiaobai ignored Tang Sancai's question. His grave eyes met Lin Zhipei's mocking gaze. "I never intended to take your life. I only wanted to bring you to justice."

"Bullshit!" Lin Zhipei roared. "Before that, I had killed no fewer than dozens of people. Once I fell into the hands of the authorities, how could I possibly survive?"

Soy Milk Xiaobai sneered. "So you do know your crimes are unforgivable?"

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the other two behind Lin Zhipei. "Flower-Picking Bee Ji Laiye, Gambling Maniac Ge Angshou, and you, Shocking Eight Directions Lin Zhipei. Aside from Chou Ba, who has already been brought to justice, the four bandit chiefs of Lotus Stockade have actually gathered here today. What a misfortune for Luoyang."

As Soy Milk Xiaobai called out the three enemies one by one, corresponding data immediately appeared above their heads.

Lin Zhipei

Known in the martial world as Shocking Eight Directions. Highly skilled in martial arts and guilty of countless evils. Chief of Lotus Stockade.

Level: 35

Health: 16500/16500

Internal Energy: 8000/8000

...

Ji Laiye

A notorious rapist known in the martial world as Flower-Picking Bee. Second chief of Lotus Stockade.

Level: 29

Health: 9600/9600

Internal Energy: 4300/4300

...

Ge Angshou

Addicted to gambling and ruthless in murder. Fourth chief of Lotus Stockade.

Level: 23

Health: 5900/5900

Internal Energy: 3100/3100

...

The display of the three bosses' stats meant that both sides had officially entered combat. Ye Weiming even noticed right away that Soy Milk Xiaobai, who was on their side, now had similar stats displayed above his head.

Bai Zhanji (Disabled)

Former renowned constable of the Six Doors, known in the martial world as the Mighty Divine Eagle. Retired from the martial world after being injured and now made a living selling soy milk.

Level: 30

Health: 23400/23400

Internal Energy: 15900/15900

...

Looking at those stats, was this soy milk seller really that fierce?

Ye Weiming finally understood why the enemy had set up such a terrifying trap to ambush him.

This guy was absolutely worth it!

Even with a trap like that, could it really pose any substantial threat to a boss of this strength?

After comparing the strengths of both sides, Tang Sancai could not help frowning. "Brother Xiaobai, your stats are so powerful. Why are you only level 30?"

Soy Milk Xiaobai... no, he should now be called Mighty Divine Eagle Bai Zhanji. Bai Zhanji smiled bitterly at the question, but patiently explained, "In truth, the most direct way to judge a person's strength in the martial world is to look at their level, because level is a direct reflection of one's overall strength. At the same level, if someone has one exceptionally strong ability, they will have a corresponding weakness. Only level reflects a martial artist's overall qualities."

After a slight pause, he added, "Of course, the standard I mentioned does not include you players."

After saying that, Bai Zhanji flashed forward and lunged at Lin Zhipei in front of him. At the same time, he called out, "Young Hero Tang Sancai, little brother Ye Weiming, I can hold Lin Zhipei off for a while. You two need to quickly deal with the remaining two opponents and come support me."

Hearing Bai Zhanji's reminder, Ye Weiming and Tang Sancai were both left speechless.

The two of us are players barely above level ten, and you want us to take on two bosses in their twenties and finish them quickly.

Why don't you just fly to heaven?

By then, Bai Zhanji had already pushed off with both feet and shot into the sky. He flipped upside down in midair, then struck downward with a palm aimed at Lin Zhipei's Baihui Acupoint.
