Outside the novice village, Cedar Forest.
With a focused gaze, Yi Tianchen soared upward. He traced a smooth arc with his feet, closing in on the Goblin Warrior. With a swift swing of his Rotten Sword, he struck directly at the Goblin Warrior's shoulder. He then retreated a few steps, executing a sharp maneuver just as the Goblin Warrior's axe swung through empty air.
-35! MISS!
"Wow, what a master... an absolute expert!" A few players on the outskirts gasped in astonishment at this scene.
Having witnessed the previous player being taken out in an instant, they were already on edge. However, seeing that Yi Tianchen showed no signs of retreating, they settled into a mindset of watching the show. But now, after witnessing Yi Tianchen's exquisite movements and attacks, they were left speechless.
Yi Tianchen paid no mind to the discussions behind him; his focus was solely on battling the Goblin Warrior. The enemy before him was no pushover, and without any strong equipment himself, one careless move could turn him into the spectacle that the other players were eager to see.
However, Yi Tianchen had no intention of giving them that satisfaction. After dodging the Goblin Warrior's attack, he charged forward again. With a swift strike, rust flew as he delivered a sharp blow to the Goblin Warrior's head, dealing a blinding triple critical hit—
Critical Hit! -105!
"Roar!"
After receiving such a devastating blow from Yi Tianchen, the Goblin Warrior's fiery temper erupted, launching into a fierce counterattack. It lunged forward and executed a sweeping 180-degree slash with its sharp axe aimed at Yi Tianchen's waist.
-58!
"Damn it!" Seeing the damage numbers rise, Yi Tianchen's heart raced as he couldn't help but curse. His total Health Points were only around 120; that single strike from the Goblin Warrior had nearly halved his health, putting him in serious danger.
Not daring to be careless, Yi Tianchen quickly adjusted his tactics. Utilizing agile and varied movements, he avoided direct confrontation with the Goblin Warrior. Before long, he established a favorable combat atmosphere; by mastering the rhythm of battle, Yi Tianchen maintained control over the battlefield.
At this moment, the surrounding players had their eyes wide open, their mouths agape enough to fit two large bananas. Although the Goblin Warrior roared fiercely and retaliated with increasing ferocity, under Yi Tianchen's evasive tactics combined with strategic strikes, its attacks became largely ineffective.
"Swish..."
The Rotten Sword sliced through the air with a sharp whistle, delivering a decisive blow. The once-mighty Goblin Warrior finally fell to the ground with a reluctant shriek.
System Notification: Successfully defeated [Goblin Warrior] ×1, gained 30 experience points!
Yi Tianchen let out a sigh of relief, feeling a bit astonished. The experience from this Goblin Warrior was indeed substantial; despite being only one level higher than the Kung Fu Rabbit, the experience was three times greater. At this moment, Yi Tianchen needed a total of 300 experience points to level up again. A few more kills, and he would be able to advance.
He smirked and quickly walked over to the Goblin Warrior's corpse. A cursory glance revealed that, aside from twelve shiny Copper Coins in the grass, there was also a pair of shoes.
"Equipment drop!" Yi Tianchen exclaimed excitedly as he bent down to pick up the shoes lying in the grass.
Goblin Shoes: White
Defense: 4
Type: Cloth Armor Shoes
Level Requirement: 2
...
"Well, it's just a piece of White Equipment, but it's definitely a rare find at this stage!" Yi Tianchen chuckled, then glanced down at his bare feet. His big toe, covered in grass stains and dirt, wiggled as he muttered to himself, "Once I hit level 2, I won't be barefoot anymore. Let's go!"
Yi Tianchen's gaze sharpened as he locked onto another Goblin Warrior not far away. Meanwhile, several players behind him were utterly dumbfounded, especially after witnessing Yi Tianchen's flawless execution of the Goblin Warrior. The fact that he had also received a pair of shoes made them incredibly envious.
"Hey buddy, let's team up!" one player couldn't hold back any longer and shouted out.
"No, I'm used to practicing alone!" Yi Tianchen smiled lightly and politely declined their offer.
A few players could only smile bitterly, their eyes revealing disappointment. How could a master like him look down on them? Just as they were speechless, they turned to see Yi Tianchen already engaging another Goblin Warrior, quickly getting into the fray.
"Roar!"
As if sensing that its kind had been slain by Yi Tianchen, the Goblin Warrior let out an angry roar and charged forward with its axe raised.
"Some are really eager to find death!" Yi Tianchen's expression darkened, and a glint of killing intent flashed in his cold, star-like eyes. Gripping the Rotten Sword tightly, he shifted his stance slightly. As the Goblin Warrior's axe came crashing down nearly against his chest, he thrust upward with his sword, piercing the Goblin Warrior's jaw.
-36!
With that strike, the Goblin Warrior was knocked back. At that moment, Yi Tianchen swiftly pursued and unleashed a flurry of strikes, each one hitting its mark. He moved in graceful arcs, deftly dodging the Goblin Warrior's deadly axe swings.
-35! -33! MISS! -36! MISS! MISS!
Before long, over 60% of the Goblin Warrior's Health Points had been depleted by Yi Tianchen. However, the Goblin Warrior's fierce counterattacks began to put some strain on him. Watching the bright flashes of the axe swinging before him, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but frown.
After reassessing the Goblin Warrior's combat capabilities, Yi Tianchen began to suppress it with quick strikes against its slower movements. This tactic proved highly effective; the once arrogant Goblin Warrior soon fell to the ground under Yi Tianchen's relentless assault!
With no time to spare for the astonished players behind him, Yi Tianchen picked up the dropped Copper Coin and dove back into battle.
In truth, Yi Tianchen's impressive achievements were not solely due to innate talent; much of it stemmed from his hard work. Take this battle for instance; after successfully defeating each Goblin Warrior, he would quickly summarize what he had learned.
As a result, Yi Tianchen's chances of victory steadily increased.
In less than fifteen minutes, he had already slain over ten Goblin Warriors. These ten-plus foes not only yielded 220 Copper Coins but also allowed him to level up to level 2 and equip the newly dropped Goblin Shoes.
"Brother, join our team!" a voice suddenly called out from behind.
As Yi Tianchen picked up the Copper Coin dropped by the Goblin Warrior, he turned around to find four players approaching: a swordsman, a knight, and two assassins. Like Yi Tianchen, all four had a studio emblem floating above their right arms.
This was a special rule set by the game company for each gaming studio; once registered, members of a studio would automatically display their studio's badge in the game for easy identification.
"Heh, no thanks. I prefer training alone!" Yi Tianchen replied in a calm tone, though he paid a bit more attention to the four newcomers. Since they weren't here just to watch, they must have the strength to take down a Goblin Warrior.
"Is that so?" The leading Swordsman Player chuckled. "In that case, I'm afraid we can't let you go!"
"What do you mean?" Yi Tianchen paused slightly, already sensing their intentions and feeling a hint of wariness.
Moreover, Yi Tianchen could tolerate this situation. First, he had just regained his memories and hadn't fully returned to his former level; second, he had joined Liu Yuhan's Mist and Rain Studio, meaning he had to be responsible for his actions on behalf of the entire studio.
Otherwise, with Yi Tianchen's old temperament, he would have already retaliated.
"What do you mean? Let me tell you what it means!" one of the Assassin Players sneered coldly, pointing his dagger at Yi Tianchen. "Listen up, kid! This place is already booked. If you know what's good for you, get lost quickly. Don't make me angry; otherwise... you'll regret it!"
"…"
Yi Tianchen smiled lightly, his expression calm as he showed his true feelings of being Speechless. He then turned back to look for the Goblin Warrior. He genuinely didn't want to waste time on pointless conflicts. Moreover, the experiences of the past three years had changed his temperament.
"Damn it, this kid is too arrogant! Just wait until I make him beg for mercy!" The newly emerged Assassin Player swung his dagger and charged forward, aiming for Yi Tianchen's back.
"This is your own doing!" Yi Tianchen's gaze darkened as murderous intent surged within him. At the same time, hearing the rush of wind from the swift movement behind him, Yi Tianchen merely shifted slightly to avoid the attack by less than ten centimeters.
Yet that seemingly insignificant distance caused the assassin to miss entirely. Seeing the other’s somewhat comical expression, Yi Tianchen felt no pity; he lifted his right foot and kicked against the assassin's chest before swiftly bringing down his sword onto the back of his neck.
Unfortunately, the game has a special setting that prevents excessively bloody beheading scenes from appearing.
Before the assassin could regain his senses, Yi Tianchen had already appeared beside him like a ghost. Following that, with a series of swift strikes, Yi Tianchen managed to send the assassin back to the wall in less than ten seconds.
"What... what just happened?" A few players who had come along with the assassin were so astonished by Yi Tianchen's elusive movements that they completely forgot their brother was the one being attacked. They stared wide-eyed, as if they had just discovered another great miracle, utterly dumbfounded.
With a cold smile, Yi Tianchen chose not to strike again. After all, excessive player killing in the early stages of the game would only delay his leveling up. Unless provoked, Yi Tianchen generally avoided instigating conflicts. This was a stark contrast to the hot-headed Yi Tianchen from three years ago.
He walked over and picked up the dozens of Copper Coins that had fallen to the ground. When his gaze swept over the others, they instinctively took a few steps back. With a smirk, Yi Tianchen turned away and headed toward a nearby Goblin Warrior, throwing out three words that echoed like thunder in the hearts of those present.
"Don't provoke me!"
