Chu Tian was unsure of the title that a Druid would receive after promotion. In his previous life, he had never heard of a Druid successfully transferring classes in four years.
Wearing the God of Slaughter title, Chu Tian began to skillfully manipulate his leopard form, constantly shifting. Chu Tian performed various high-difficulty maneuvers, even attacking enemies with actions that possessed no real killing power.
With a flick of his tail, he knocked a player to the ground, inflicting damage. Although the damage was not high, it was achieved by simply sweeping the opponent's leg with his tail. He then followed up with two ordinary claw attacks, finishing them off.
He also leaped onto an opponent's head, resting his hind legs on their neck before using his claws to slit their throat. As he landed, he kicked an escaping player away with his hind legs. Chu Tian believed his series of leopard-like predatory movements were fluid and seamless, and he felt smug.
However, to Heng Dao and the others, it looked entirely different. They saw a leopard that knew martial arts. Although a bit clumsy, it already showed some promise.
"This... Druids can be played like this?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian asked, looking dumbfounded. Even Heng Dao wore an expression of disbelief.
"Heng Dao, did you record it?" Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni asked.
"Recording!" Heng Dao replied.
"That's good. This is the boss's comeback! He was always accused of using bugs and having no skill. Let's see what they say now!" Guang Hu You Zhe Ni stared intently at Chu Tian, speaking to those around him. Rou Rou, with adoring eyes, watched him.
"Should we go help?" Jian Zhi Cang Tian asked.
"Help my ass. Didn't you see the boss having fun? Besides, there aren't many of them left!" Heng Dao surprisingly referred to Chu Tian as "boss." This was a title usually given to him by others. Jian Zhi Cang Tian and Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni looked at him incredulously.
Heng Dao rubbed his nose. "What are you looking at me for? Let's just watch. Oh... that combo was beautiful!" He used this to alleviate his embarrassment, and Jian Zhi Cang Tian and the other two were truly drawn in.
Chu Tian was no longer limited to the leopard form. He was now pursuing the last remaining Slaughter player, who had run a bit too far. Chu Tian transformed into his owl bear form and unleashed an Entangling Thorns, predicting and casting it half a meter in front of the opponent. The opponent stepped on it and was immediately ensnared. This player was clearly much more intelligent than the other Slaughter players. He drew his saber and began hacking at the thorns.
At this moment, Chu Tian instantly switched back to his leopard form, increasing his speed to close the distance. Just as the opponent shattered the thorns, Chu Tian switched to his bear form. The opponent was now within charge range. Charge! The charging bear's body kicked up a cloud of dust, slamming directly into the player and triggering the immobilize effect. The charge generated fifteen rage. Swipe! A control skill in bear form. Chu Tian, in his bear form, stood on his hind legs and brought his massive paw down heavily on the opponent's head. This was also a control skill without damage, smashing the opponent's head like a rotten watermelon!
Blood splattered all over Chu Tian. The entire chest of the bear was covered in yellow and white patterns. As Chu Tian had suspected, these skills did not have damage attribute descriptions. However, they could still trigger weak point critical hits, just as Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni liked to go for headshots. Gradually mastering the nuances, Chu Tian could not hide his excitement.
A few minutes later, Chu Tian edited his post for the third time, placing the new video below the previous one, with the caption: "Time: 22:29, Killed 78 people!" The five members of the Undefeated Alliance were still killing. Their kill count was steadily increasing. Every time Chu Tian edited his post and broadcasted the video with kill counts, all players were shocked and awestruck. The Undefeated Alliance was too formidable. Were they truly defying heaven?
Recalling the Undefeated Alliance's first foray out of the新手村 (newbie village), marking their first guild declaration of war. The following days had been uneventful. Later, because the guild leader was offline for ten consecutive days, they were provoked by those from Slaughter. Until today, "I Am Not a Druid," the highly anticipated newcomer king, made a strong return, logging in and already reaching level twenty-two. He once again held the top spot on the leveling leaderboard. Many attributed Chu Tian's rise to using bugs, black technology, and other means. However, after this video was released, everyone was astonished, realizing that the "Heavenly Dao" game could be played like this! A martial arts-wielding Druid was simply invincible. The previous video, where Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni landed headshots with every swing, had already amazed everyone. Now, witnessing Chu Tian's solo performance, all those who had previously criticized him fell silent.
Meanwhile, Tian Ya Kuang Dao, the guild leader of Slaughter, was furious. He had accepted a bribe to slow down the Undefeated Alliance's progress, believing that with Chu Tian offline for so many days, his level would have been matched by others. Even if he returned, he wouldn't be a threat. However, he never expected that upon logging in, Chu Tian would immediately reclaim the top spot on the Northern War Zone leveling leaderboard. At level twenty-two, he was a full seven levels ahead, possibly the number one player globally. Furthermore, he had never anticipated Chu Tian's attack and defense to be so high. What kind of equipment was needed to reach such a level? In reality, Chu Tian didn't even have a full set of equipment equipped, relying solely on a few fully enhanced items to maintain his stats.
Now that Chu Tian and his four companions had caused such a stir and posted it on the official Heavenly Dao website, he had gone from being proactive to being on the defensive. Tian Ya Kuang Dao was in a no-win situation. If he attacked, he couldn't pinpoint their location. If he retreated, it would be a clear admission of defeat, and he wouldn't be able to maintain his standing in the future. The Undefeated Alliance would surely spread word that their guild of fifteen hundred people had been scared away by five individuals, completely disgracing the Slaughter guild and potentially ending his tenure as leader. His only recourse was to hold his ground, find the five of them, and defeat them to wash away the shame.
Tian Ya Kuang Dao ordered that all areas where the five of them appeared be completely sealed off. All five of them were red-named, meaning they couldn't return to the city. Therefore, he decided to outlast them. He issued a command to his guild members, ordering everyone to come to the Daraleson Basin. Their guild now numbered seven thousand people. He refused to believe that over seven thousand people couldn't catch five individuals. With so many people, they could even turn over the land of the Daraleson Basin inch by inch. As long as they dared to show themselves, no matter how strong they were, his vast numbers would push forward like a tide, exhausting them to death.
During this time, Chu Tian and his companions appeared repeatedly. Chu Tian's kill count reported on the forum had surpassed five hundred and seventy people. This number was a full third of the publicly announced participants from Slaughter. Five people defeating over five hundred others shocked the world. However, they were unaware that Chu Tian alone had taken down over four hundred of them.
At this moment, players from the Undefeated Alliance still in the newbie village were on the verge of tears. They shouted in the guild chat: "You bunch of losers! Our leaders are fighting desperately, what are you doing? If I could leave the newbie village, I'd rush in and fight alongside the leaders!"
"Yeah, what are those two hundred-plus people of yours doing? Just watching the show?"
"Is this how you treat the leaders? The leaders are avenging you, yet you dare not go in and fight with them?" Countless voices echoed from the newbie village.
