Chapter 51 — Chapter 51 Achieving First Place
6 min read ·
"Here it comes, Daoist Yuan!" Luo Ling quickly said to him.
Yuan nodded and raised his sword as the Mountain Lord lifted its massive claws and swung at them.
Boom!
Yuan felt as though a large boulder was trying to crush him when he blocked the Mountain Lord’s strike.
"I will back you up!" Luo Ling used this chance to thrust her sword at the Mountain Lord’s face, but alas, with a single roar from the Mountain Lord, Luo Ling was sent flying away from the tremendous air pressure.
"Luo Ling! Are you okay?!" Yuan asked her whilst he pushed the Mountain Lord’s claw to the side.
"I-I am not hurt..." she quickly responded.
"Get lost, you human ant! You don’t have the qualifications to meddle in our battle!" The Mountain Lord roared at her.
"I understand that you are angry because of what happened to your child, but do you really have to kill so many innocent people and destroy an entire city for revenge?!" Yuan suddenly said.
"Don’t try to persuade me, brat! I will kill everyone in this city even if it’s the last thing I do and there’s nothing you can do to stop it!"
The Mountain Lord roared again, and its aura began growing more powerful and tyrannical.
"If that’s the case, then watch me stop you!" Yuan’s eyes flickered with a bright light and his sword began trembling, almost as though it was filled with excitement.
"Bloody Sword Strike!"
A red light flashed before the Mountain Lord’s eyes and before it could even react, Yuan’s sword was already directly in front of its eyes.
"?!"
The Mountain Lord quickly closed its eyelids to protect its eyes with its steel-like skin, but alas, Yuan’s sword was much sharper than it’d anticipated and pierced right through its tough skin.
"Aaaaaaagh!!!"
The Mountain Lord screamed in pain as blood squirted from its eyes.
"Che! I couldn’t reach the brain and kill it in one shot." Yuan sucked his teeth after pulling his sword out of the Mountain Lord’s face with effort.

"I will kill you! I will fucking kill you!"
The Mountain Lord roared before rushing at Yuan with its claws swinging recklessly.
Seeing this, Yuan immediately focused on dodging its strikes, feeling the tremendous pressure from each strike as it brushed by his face. If the Mountain Lord successfully hit him even once, he will most likely turn into meat paste and die.
After dodging a dozen strikes, Yuan finally saw an opportunity to strike back and quickly stabbed his sword at the Mountain Lord’s uninjured eye.
"AAAAAAGH! HOW DARE YOU?!"
Without its sights, the Mountain Lord was severely crippled in its movements and ability to defend itself from Yuan’s incoming attacks.
"It sucks without the ability to see, right? I know that feeling very well! And I am giving you one last chance to leave before I really kill you!" Yuan said, feeling that it was only right to show mercy to the Mountain Lord who had lost its child to a human even though it was a monster, not to mention that it was once peaceful with humans.
"Even if I leave today, my hatred for humans and for this place will never subdue! Unless you kill me today, I will definitely return for revenge!"
"Then you leave me with no other choice!" Yuan narrowed his eyes with a resolute feeling, and he tightened his grasp on the sword.
"Bloody Sword Strike!"
Yuan rushed at the Mountain Lord before thrusting his sword forward, and because the Mountain Lord could not see, it was unable to react, allowing Yuan to pierce its neck with ease.
«Congratulations! Player Yuan has become the first Player to kill the Elite Boss: Black Beast!»
«You have subdued the Lord of Pang Mountain!»
«+10 Fame»
«+5,000 Points»
«You have successfully defended Pang City from the Mountain Lord’s Invasion!»
An announcement announcing the end of the event suddenly appeared above Pang City for all players to see after Mountain Lord was slain by Yuan, followed by another announcement a few moments later.
«Player Yuan has amassed a grand total of 11,690 points during this event, obtaining the most points out of all participants and will receive a special reward for such an achievement!»
When the other players saw the familiar name ’Player Yuan’, they immediately began shouting in excitement.
"It’s Player Yuan! He’s actually in this place right now!"
"Where is he?! Who is Player Yuan?!"
"Holy shit! 11 thousand points?! I only have 300 points after killing over a hundred monsters! Just how on earth did he obtain so many points in such a short time?!"
It was at that moment the players there realized something.
"W-Wait a second... There’s only one person who can possibly have so many points! That little girl who used some overpowered technique to kill most of the monsters here!"
"Now that you mentioned it, where is that little girl?!"
"Impossible! Player Yuan is actually a little girl?!"
"It all makes sense now! That golden light must have been a Divine-grade technique! No wonder why it was so powerful, even overpowered!"
"This new information is definitely going to shock the world!"
"Quick! Someone hurry and post it online! The world must know about this as soon as possible!"
"Hahaha! To think that we’ve been wasting our time looking for a male player when we should’ve been looking for a little girl this entire time! This is hilarious!"
The people there began logging off to spread the news on the internet, completely unaware of the chaos this misunderstanding will cause in the future.
Meanwhile, the real Player Yuan was silently staring at the Mountain Lord’s corpse, feeling slightly guilty for killing it, as any normal human would go crazy from sorrow if their children were killed.
"I cannot thank you enough for protecting the Pang City and the innocent citizens that live here, Daoist Yuan." Luo Ling had unknowingly appeared behind him and said to him with her head lowered.
"Thank you for defeating the Mountain Lord, Senior Yuan!" The guards also bowed to him at a 90-degree angle.
"There’s no need to thank me. Although it had a valid reason for wanting revenge, I could not allow an entire city to fall and thousands of innocent people to die because of it." Yuan said to them.
A few moments later, Xiao Hua returned to his side and said, "Well done, Brother Yuan."
"You too, Xiao Hua."
"Daoist Yuan, the guards will handle everything from here. Let’s return to my father’s side for now. He needs to know that the city is no longer in danger." Luo Ling said to him sometime later.
While Luo Ling led Yuan back to the Lord’s Manor, the real world was in utter chaos from the new information regarding Player Yuan that had just appeared on the internet.
[Shocking News! Player Yuan is actually female—and a little girl at that!]
[New information regarding Player Yuan has surfaced!]
[Player Yuan is currently at Pang City!]
The new information on Player Yuan shocked the whole world collectively. However, not everyone was willing to believe this new information despite the convincing evidence from the Players that had participated in defending Pang City, as it was simply too unbelievable that some little girl without any background could possibly be the number one player in the world.
There were even some people who wanted to see for themselves whether this information was true, so they began making their way towards Pang City regardless of how far away they were from the place at the moment.
