Chapter 1: Reborn Five Years Ago

  At the fifth level of the monster zone, only Duan Chen was present at this moment. After all, it had only been a short time since the zone opened, and the only warrior player who could rush into the fifth-level monster zone was Duan Chen, who possessed high-level skills from his previous life.

  "One hundred and twenty points of blood!" Looking at the cow-headed man in front of him, Duan Chen smiled slightly and walked directly towards one of the cow-headed monsters.

  "Roar!" The Minotaur let out a loud bellow and swung its massive axe straight at Duan Chen.

  Seeing the Minotaur's giant axe attacking itself, Duan Chen directly dodged and avoided the Minotaur's axe. Then, his dagger pierced fiercely, stabbing into the Minotaur's throat, dealing 10 points of damage.

  "It took twelve of them to kill one Minotaur, but it only takes one of them to kill me!" Duan Chen said to himself as he looked at the Minotaur in front of him, and then circled around it again, stabbing his dagger fiercely once more.

  "Roar!" The Minotaur let out a furious bellow, but it didn't hit Duan Chen at all.

  In terms of agility, even a first-level player's agility is higher than that of the Minotaur, which has poor agility. However, in terms of strength, it is extremely powerful, and even a seventh-level Knife-wielding Goblin can only match it. But for Duan Chen, killing the Minotaur is the best option, because the Minotaur has low agility, and as long as Duan Chen positions himself correctly, he can kill one with ease.

  "Master, a true master!" Looking at Duan Chen's strange movement, continuous attacks, the players who were still fighting against Xuan Feng Lang in the distance couldn't help but be shocked. That movement was like flowing clouds and water, it was simply a classic textbook!

  "I never knew warriors could play so elegantly, I always thought only rogues had such advanced techniques!" The mage who just invited Duan Chen to team up muttered to himself. Duan Chen's hand movements and positioning were absolutely those of a high-end rogue player, but his profession was actually a warrior.

  However, this was nothing to Duan Chen. In his past life as the leader of the Dark Night Country, he had countless brothers under him. As their leader, he often sparred with them, and in the process, he naturally learned many skills from other professions. The footwork that Duan Chen used now was something he had learned from Xue You.

  As a Minotaur fell, Duan Chen directly picked up the several copper coins that exploded from the Minotaur's body. He took a look at the experience he gained and couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. A level 5 Minotaur gave him a total of eighty experience points, which was quite a lot.

  "That guy, he actually took down a Minotaur by himself!" The mage in the distance stared at Duan Chen with a look of astonishment, his eyes filled with incredulity. This guy was too abnormal, having actually annihilated a Minotaur, and it was done solo.

  "Haha, brother is quite skilled!" Just as Duan Chen killed a cow-headed monster, a loud and rough voice suddenly rang out from behind him, causing Duan Chen to frown slightly and look back at the warrior. Suddenly, his eyes burst forth with an uncontrollable look of astonishment.

  "Blood splattered for a thousand miles!" Looking at the warrior in front of him, Duan Chen's eyes were filled with surprise. The brutal king's blood splattered for a thousand miles, although the current blood splattered for a thousand miles was still somewhat immature and lacked the majestic and domineering aura that would come five years later. However, just that kind of bold and powerful aura was enough to make one look up to him.

  "I never knew that warriors could be so carefree!" Xue Man Qian exclaimed as he gazed at Duan Chen.

  "Form an alliance?" Duan Chen looked at Xue Lian and asked with a smile.

  "Form a team!" Upon hearing this, Xue Lian couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He was only level one at the moment and had only come to observe Duan Chen's exceptional skills, not expecting that Duan Chen would invite him to form a team. After all, he was just a new level-one player.

  Duan Chen was different, in his past life, he had only a two-faced relationship with Xue Man Qian Li, but he understood Xue Man Qian Li's character. Moreover, Duan Chen had snatched a task from Xue Man Qian Li, now it could be considered as returning a favor to Xue Man Qian Li.

  Looking at the team invitation sent by Duan Chen, Xue Man Qian was stunned. Looking at Duan Chen, a strange color flashed in his eyes. Just now, that group of mages invited Duan Chen to form a team, but he didn't even nod, and yet he himself was invited with just one compliment?

  "Thanks, bro!" Blood Splattered Thousand Miles nodded at Duan Chen and accepted the team invitation.

  "Let's watch from the sidelines for now!" Duan Chen said with a smile as he gazed at the blood-soaked landscape.

  Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but nod his head in understanding. He realized that Duan Chen was trying to help him level up and didn't say much else, instead starting to observe Duan Chen's techniques from the side.

  It has to be said that the more Duan Chen fought against the monster, the more he felt his skills were incredibly powerful. At this moment, in the eyes of Xue Lian, Duan Chen's movements were extremely elegant and smooth, like flowing clouds and water, without any gaps, surrounding the Ox-Headed Monster. His dagger continuously struck out, like a shadow, constantly attacking the Ox-Headed Monster.

  "This guy wouldn't have been a assassin player before, right!" Looking at Duan Chen's smooth movements, Xue Man Tian couldn't help but think that apart from the rumor that Duan Chen was once a top assassin player in a certain game, he couldn't figure out why this warrior player would be even better at positioning than an assassin.

  "Boom!" After another Minotaur was knocked down by Duan Chen, he took a look at the experience bar and found that Blood Splattered Thousand Miles had gained 30 points of experience. Duan Chen only got 50 points, but it was still more than what he got from killing the Mystic Wind Wolf.

  As one by one the Minotaur fell under Duan Chen's feet, Duan Chen and Xue Man Qian Li's experience also continued to rise. At this moment, Xue Man Qian Li had already reached level two, while Duan Chen was about to break through to level four.

  "System Prompt: Player Kuang Chen, level up! Two free attribute points added!"

  As the system prompt sound rose, Duan Chen's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile, and he leveled up again. Immediately afterwards, Duan Chen added one attribute point to agility and one to strength.

  When this cow-headed monster died, it also exploded with a white board axe. Duan Chen picked it up and took a look, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

  "Rough-hewn Battle-axe: Attack +10, Required Level: 4"

  A fourth-level crude axe, with an attack power of ten points, is pretty good. Duan Chen held it in his hand and still felt a bit heavy.

  He handed the Wolf Fang Dagger in his hand to Xue Man Shi and said with a smile, "I don't need this dagger anymore!"

  "Haha, then I won't be polite!" Upon hearing this, Xue Manling smiled and took the dagger handed over by Duan Chen. After all, this dagger was much better than the broken wooden stick in his hand. Meanwhile, Duan Chen held an axe head in his hand, which was even more useful.

  Duan Chen, now wielding a broad axe, shed his former agile image and engaged in a fierce battle with the Ox-Headed Monster, his ferocious appearance sending shockwaves to Xue Man Piao, who couldn't help but wonder if this guy was the same player as the assassin from earlier.

  Nowadays, Duan Chen has been upgraded to level 4 and can withstand two or three hits from the Ox Head monster. With the addition of the board axe, his attack power has increased greatly, and each hit on the Ox Head monster can deal more than 20 points of damage. It only takes five hits to kill the Ox Head monster in front of him. Duan Chen's monster-killing speed has also accelerated significantly.

  "Ding" With a crisp sound, a suit of armor fell directly down. The moment he saw the armor, Duan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, another piece of equipment had dropped.

  "Iron Cuirass: Defense +6, Required Level: 3"

  Looking at this iron armor, Duan Chen couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. Although it was just a white equipment, the increased attribute points were not few, and at least it was much better than his own newbie linen clothes.

  Wearing iron armor, Duan Chen's defense also increased a bit. Now, Duan Chen and Niu Tou Guai were not hard-pressed to resist each other.

  As one by one Minotaur fell, Duan Chen and Xue Man Qian both leveled up simultaneously. Duan Chen had now reached level 5, while Xue Man Qian, who was eating experience beside Duan Chen, also reached level 3. Now, the level 5 Minotaur no longer posed a great threat to Duan Chen, and some teams began to besiege the Minotaurs in front of them.

  "Are you interested in trying out the Seventh Level of the Knife Wielding Demon?" Duan Chen looked at Xue Man Shi beside him and asked.

  "Knife-wielding little demon!" Upon hearing this, the Blood Splashing Thousand Miles' heart couldn't help but fiercely tremble. The strength of a seventh-level monster was absolutely enough to instantly kill this third-level small warrior.

  Looking at Duan Chen's confident face, Xue Lian couldn't help but grit his teeth and nodded.
