The Nightmare Lord Awakens, Time to Make a Move!

"The monsters' main target is the First Floor. Kui Zi is in a terrible situation; her teammates are either dead or injured. Now, all the players on the First Floor are living in other dormitories," Shirley said, pointing to her bright red lips.

Xu Lang raised an eyebrow and quickly checked Su Yuan's condition.

He's still alive.

Just as Saladin had predicted, the Rakshasa Ancient Kingdom's forces began to adopt a strategy of defeating them one by one.

The difference is that if your Blood Hatred is still active, the monsters will use catapults to wear you down. Once you realize that your Blood Hatred has disappeared, you can directly rush in, but the route remains the same: defeat them one by one.

"Xu Lang, you should have given Yazhi the access to open the door back then, so Huihui and the others wouldn't have had such a difficult time fighting," Cao Yaxuan sighed.

Xu Lang picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Someone died?"

"Mm." Cao Yaxuan nodded.

[Nightmare Eye - Cao Yaxuan: I'm heartbroken... My own value hasn't been realized]

Nightmare Eye directly probed Cao Yaxuan's current mental state, rather than the chaotic thoughts in her mind, which was very useful.

"I know, you feel sad." Xu Lang stared at Cao Yaxuan with a serious face. Just when the girls thought he was going to make some big point, he continued, "But if you think about the players on the first floor, you will feel much better."

Tong Qi burst out laughing, then quickly covered her mouth.

The women all glared at Xu Lang.

Xu Lang tapped the table and said seriously:

"I know some people are complaining that we're taking resources without doing anything, and you're facing some moral condemnation, even guilt."

"But even if we are guilty, by what right do they have to judge us?!"

"Just based on their will-o'-the-wisps, their wailing, their pleading, their resentment?!"

With great power comes great responsibility, but we are not heroes!

"Of course we can do good deeds, but that's because we want to!"

"There is no other reason!"

Just because they consumed monster resources, they should give back to all the players in the building?!

Is this some kind of Blood Mist joke?

Who took the damage from that monster? Was Xu Lang going to redirect that damage onto other players?

A 5v5 virtual game is already rife with arguments over who gets control of neutral monsters, and now you're telling me about fairness and impartiality in Dormitory Survival Game?

This perfectly matches Xu Lang's stereotypes about humans.

In fact, there are three opposing views among players regarding Xu Lang.

One group of people avoided Xu Lang at all costs, never speaking to him or speaking to him.

One group is frantically licking his boots.

One side was filled with resentment.

This last faction had the fewest members, but they were truly disgusting.

Just then, a loud bang came from Dormitory Building.

Xu Ruyan immediately went to adjust the angle of the monitoring screen and discovered that three catapults were parked 500 meters away.

"Here we go again!" Xu Xiaomeng's face fell.

Cao Yaxuan said to Xu Lang, "Their catapults were destroyed by Li Shuwen and Bai Wuya with their men, but there are still some left!"

"Look, those yellow sand soldiers are gathering again. They'll probably storm the building in less than two hours." Shirley was initially a little anxious, but she calmed down halfway through her sentence, her mixed-race eyes fixed on Xu Lang, and said, "But now that you're back, Lang, no matter how many monsters come, they're just going to die."

Shirley's eyes made no attempt to hide her admiration and love for Xu Lang.

Xu Ruyan felt Shirley's gaze was too clingy and, fearing the two would start fighting, quickly said, "Xu Lang, are we going to destroy those catapults?"

Xu Lang didn't answer, but stared at the Yellow Sand Soldier and asked, "Have you figured out why the Rakshasa Ancient Kingdom has a continuous stream of soldiers?"

Zhen Lu replied, "The Rakshasa Ancient Kingdom's lines have been pushed forward, but many soldiers are still trapped in the Blood Mist. Zhang Dahai went to investigate and said he discovered a tomb, from which the soldiers and those monster generals were resurrected."

Cao Yaxuan nodded repeatedly. "Kui Zi also mentioned this."

"Alright, no rush, let me rest for a while," Xu Lang said with a smile.

The Nightmare Lord doesn't directly increase combat Sequence; although it has advanced to the Initial Awakening stage, it still needs time to digest the power.

Wang Yazhi gently stroked the sword hilt with her slender, fair hand, slightly disappointed.

Since joining the Rakshasa Sequence, her fighting spirit has remained strong.

The women were no longer surprised by Xu Lang's cautious behavior.

If Xu Lang were to wake up, listen to their story, and then charge into the enemy camp, they would suspect that Xu Lang had been possessed.

"Tong Qi, is your mental attribute already at 150 points?" Xu Lang asked, looking at Tong Qi.

"Yes, it was full a couple of days ago!" Tong Qi nodded vigorously, making Xu Lang dizzy.

He's been conserving his energy for the past three days, so it's normal for him to be a little restless.

"Come on, let's get stronger, and Red Butterfly will come too!"

"..."

On the Royal Nightmare Bed, Xu Lang handed two skill scrolls to Tong Qi and Red Butterfly respectively.

[Saint-Slaying Ghost Hand]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Level: 10]

[Rarity: Mythic]

[Effect: Consumes mental energy to materialize a ghostly hand with a binding effect, dealing massive damage to enemies.]

[Description: A remarkable instant-cast skill. The more mental energy invested, the larger the ghost hand becomes, and the stronger the binding effect.]

[Frenzied Will]

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Level: 12]

[Rarity: Excellent]

[Effect: When sanity decreases, the body's self-healing properties are enhanced, and a large amount of resistance is gained.]

[Note: Use with caution, or you will turn into a giant, self-healing worm.]

"Ah! Why did I get Excellence, Tong Qi got Mythic!" Red Butterfly shouted.

Xu Lang let out a cold snort befitting a knight.

The Royal Nightmare Bed is enormous, like a vast grassland.

Half an hour later, Red Butterfly calmed down.

Red Butterfly is indeed strong and crazy enough, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to last this long.

"Tong Qi, wait for me to take a nap, then you can go and begin the Limit-Break Trial." Xu Lang pulled Tong Qi into his arms and closed his eyes to sleep.

Tong Qi felt a surge of emotion.

Lang Ge is probably afraid that he won't pass the Mad King Trial and will never see him again, so he's being affectionate with him.

Simulation dreamscape.

[Do/Do you consume 50 Nightmare Essence to Simulation the "Tong Qi's Spirit Attribute Limit-Break Trial"?]

Xu Lang chose to send 50 portions of Nightmare Essence flying out, forming a seven-colored screen in front of him.

On the screen, Tong Qi appeared and began her mental Limit-Break Trial.

Because it Simulation other people, it costs more, and the more distant the relationship between the simulated person and the Simulation person, the more Nightmare Essence is consumed.

Even Simulation a regular player in the Mad King Building now costs an astronomical amount of money; without going all out, this move is simply ineffective against enemies.

"Huh? The Mad King Trial has actually appeared."

Xu Lang watched Tong Qi progress through the levels until the tenth level, when a familiar door appeared. His pupils contracted slightly, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

Tong Qi's potential was actually recognized by the Mad King Building!

He had been very worried about this before, and even thought it best if Tong Qi didn't appear in the Mad King Trial.

But now, Tong Qi and he enjoy the same Simulation treatment!

Isn't this practically handing the reward to someone?

Xu Lang Simulation it three times, and the monsters were the same all three times, and Tong Qi didn't die even once!
