Domineering World Battle Fanatic

[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have obtained S-Grade Profession Talent, Song Of Knight]

[Song Of Knight (S-Grade)]

[Skill Feature: 20% increase to all Knight Skills.]

Profession Talents were different from Novice Talents as they basically only had one stat. However, that stat was extremely simple and crude since it provided a 20% effect increase to all Knight Skills.

The moment Liu Ming obtained this Talent, increments appeared in the basic Stats on his panel, ranging from 2% to 10%.

That was only the effects the Talent had on Passive Skills. The Active Skills were the ones that were truly affected significantly.

With the addition of this Talent, all the Knight Skills that Liu Ming had were enhanced. His White Skills could display the effects of Green Skills while his Green Skills could display the effects of Purple Skills.

For example, the White Attack Skills that originally had a 130% multiplier could now cause 156% damage after the 20% effect boost, which was much greater than the damage done by ordinary Green Skills.

Besides, the Attacking Power of Skills like Holy Blessing had also increased by 20%. The most impressive thing was that the duration of Holy Blessing's effects had increased from 10 minutes to 12 minutes.

This Profession Talent was the type of talent that any profession could only dream of.

...

In the next few days, Liu Ming visited all the leveling checkpoints near the main city alone because he had left the novice village too early. However, the required EXP for another level-up increased exponentially after the official change in profession.

Even though Liu Ming could kill monsters rather quickly, he had only advanced to Level 15 by the seventh day, when the first-tier players entered the main city one after another.

However, Liu Ming had now replaced his equipment with a new set of gear when he advanced to Level 15. His current Stats were already about three-fold that of most Level 10 players.

...

The first batch of players in God Domain was placed into the same main city in the same region.

This made the main city much livelier than the novice village, even though only less than one-fifth of the total players had entered the main city.

Besides, compared to the novice village where there were only a few training and quest points, the main city was much fancier.

Even Liu Ming—who had stayed in Lotter City for more than six days—had only explored a small portion of it.

...

Lotter City's Western Plains was the refresh point for Gale Wolves. After Liu Ming killed an elite Gale Wolf with a Berserking Slash, a large egg with a radiant blue glow dropped.

As soon as Liu Ming placed the egg in his bag, he heard an arrogant voice in his ears. "What did you just pick up? Hurry and hand it over… Wait! It's you, kid!"

Liu Ming immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw the smug and hideous face of World Battle Fanatic.

More than 20 players were behind World Battle Fanatic.

The players had a variety of game usernames, but only two of them had 'World' as the first word of their username. Besides, those players also had various styles of equipment.

These players clearly weren't the World Guild's elite players. However, World Battle Fanatic's defensive equipment glowed with green light, while his weapons were blue. It was obvious that he did not lack money.

It was a miracle that World Battle Fanatic could go around and not get killed and robbed of his equipment even though his equipment's special effects were activated all the time.

...

Although Liu Ming had only embarrassed World Battle Fanatic once in the novice village, the latter had been trying to settle scores with Liu Ming in the past few days.

Like what Qingfeng Changge said, World Battle Fanatic was an extremely petty person. Since he had now run into Liu Ming, World Battle Fanatic was naturally jealous and infuriated to see his enemy.

With a cold expression, World Battle Fanatic said, "Since it's you, it will not be as simple as handing over that egg. In addition to handing over that egg, you'll have to pay me 20 Gold Coins for the mental harm that you inflicted on me that day. Of course, you can also choose not to give them to me, but you'd better not leave the main city. Otherwise, don't blame us for beating you up."

After advancing to Level 10, which was beyond the novice levels, the penalty for dying became extremely harsh for players. When a player got killed by a monster, 20% of their current level's total EXP would get reduced. They would also have to stay in a state of having all their stats weakened for an hour.

If another player killed them, they would be demoted by one level. On top of that, their various pieces of equipment and items would also drop from them according to the Kill Value.

God Domain's Kill Value system was rather similar to that of other games. Kill Values were obtained from maliciously killing and attacking other players. Counterattacking would not increase one's Kill Value.

A Kill Value of five points or less would cause one equipment to be dropped from the player, while one that was below ten points would result in two pieces of equipment dropping. Eventually, the players might lose all their equipment after dying once.

Once a player had a Kill Value of 50 points, they would be wanted by the main city's city guards. Once they entered the main city, they would be arrested and thrown behind bars, which they would only be released from when their Kill Value had cleared.

One's Kill Value decreased by one point every hour. In other words, one would have to wait at least three days—unable to do anything—once they were caught, deducting the time taken to eat or sleep.

However, World Battle Fanatic had plenty of underlings. If each of them took turns to kill Liu Ming once, they could incapacitate Liu Ming, and there would be no need to worry about being caught.

Liu Ming was rather infuriated with World Battle Fanatic's unreasonable behavior. Although Liu Ming had initially yet to see what he had obtained, he did not value Blue equipment much now.

If World Battle Fanatic was willing to offer a reasonable price, Liu Ming would just sell it to him. However, he tried to snatch it from Liu Ming using trickery as soon as he went up to him. He even planned to rob Liu Ming.

Although Liu Ming had always had a good temper, he now had a sullen expression, and he retorted, "What if I refuse?"

As soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, World Battle Fanatic pointed at Liu Ming and barked, "Since you don't know any better, don't blame me for being harsh. Slash him!"

World Battle Fanatic sounded ashamed and exasperated. However, no matter what, a bunch of players attacked Liu Ming with their Skills after receiving orders from World Battle Fanatic.

But the wave of attacks only caused single-digit damage to Liu Ming. The damage inflicted by a few of them was even just 1 HP.

Their attacks only caused slight damage to Liu Ming.

The group of players was stunned to see that result as they stood still on the spot.

However, Liu Ming was not stunned. Liu Ming did not take the initiative to attack because he wanted to gain the right to counterattack.

Now that a bunch of the players' names had been included in the list of malicious attackers, Liu Ming naturally would not let go of the chance to attack.

Liu Ming swung his sword forward ruthlessly.
