"Everyone, fall back!"
Without a moment to lose, Yi Tianchen shouted as he quickly retreated, simultaneously throwing up an Identification Technique—

…
"Roar..."
The Evil Goblin Chief couldn't speak, only able to roar in anger. However, the attributes displayed on its body clearly indicated its formidable strength.
"Swish..."
Before Yi Tianchen and the others could discuss their strategy, the Evil Goblin Chief swung its massive sword and charged forward, attacking with incredible speed in a series of slashes that were hard to counter. In the blink of an eye, Hero Does Not Question Origin had already taken a solid hit—
-1456!
The enormous damage number appeared, leaving Yi Tianchen and the others stunned. Hero Does Not Question Origin let out a loud cry as he was sent flying by the overwhelming force, crashing to the ground and suffering significant secondary damage.
+500! +680! +500!
Quickly consuming a Third-Level Life Potion, Mu Wanqing and Far Apart activated their Vitality Techniques, managing to barely restore some of Hero Does Not Question Origin's lost vitality.
"Li Tielong, let's go!"
Yi Tianchen's expression darkened as he called out to Li Tielong before charging forward with Wild Fury. The Evil Goblin Chief, after sending Hero Does Not Question Origin flying with a single blow, roared and pursued them, its speed matching that of Yi Tianchen.
"Swish..."
Golden light filled the air as Yi Tianchen activated Hundred Steps Flying Sword at the first opportunity. Wild Fury shot forward with powerful penetration, striking the Evil Goblin Chief in the back at lightning speed and splattering a large amount of green blood—
"Pfft—"
-1011!
Immediately after, taking advantage of Savage Charge's speed, Yi Tianchen rushed forward, grabbing Wild Fury and yanking it back. This caused secondary damage while a foul-smelling green liquid sprayed out, splattering all over his face and nearly making him faint from the stench.
“Damn it!”
Spitting out the disgusting green liquid, Yi Tianchen didn’t care that he was covered in it. He slipped and struck again. The Evil Goblin Chief let out an angry roar and turned to attack Yi Tianchen. The blinding blade swept over his head, but Yi Tianchen had already appeared on the other side—
Death Entanglement Lv-1! Blade Break Slash Lv-1!
“Crack!”
-985!
After the strike, Li Tielong shook his spear, timely blocking the Evil Goblin Chief's counterattack. He turned back urgently and said, “Give me some time; I should be able to hold on!”
“Be careful!”
Yi Tianchen didn’t say much more. In fact, among the eight present, if even Li Tielong couldn’t withstand it, the others had even less hope. However, Li Tielong’s attack power was limited, and it would take some time to stabilize the aggro. Fortunately, many of the knight's skills generated a significant amount of aggro.
Not far behind, Liu Yuhan shot a Frost Arrow, slowing down the Evil Goblin Chief’s speed considerably. Mu Wanqing and Far Apart’s Vitality Technique were also relentless, consuming a large amount of mana to keep Li Tielong’s health points around 50%.
One minute later…
Taking advantage of the stabilized aggro, Yi Tianchen grabbed a hanging root and swung up. In mid-air, he released a dark circle of energy before letting go and slashing down from above. The Wrath of the Wilderness glimmered with golden light as it struck hard on the Evil Goblin Chief's forehead, igniting a burst of flames—
Critical Hit! -5985!
“Damn!”
Everyone stared at the damage number in shock. Li Tielong couldn’t help but shout, “Tianchen, are you trying to be that fierce? All that aggro for nothing!”
"Uh..."
Yi Tianchen felt a heavy weight in his heart, secretly shocked. He never expected his luck to be this good, triggering a threefold critical hit along with a double Critical Hit. With this one strike, the Evil Goblin Chief's aggro immediately shifted to him.
"Liu Yuhan, I'll hold the BOSS; you all take the chance to attack!"
Seeing the ferocious approach of the Evil Goblin Chief, Yi Tianchen quickly retreated, taking a running leap while swinging on the roots to escape. The pursuing Evil Goblin Chief had no such speed and didn't understand how to grab onto the roots for fun; it could only chase after him desperately.
"Everyone, attack together, and be careful not to lose aggro!"
Noticing the situation, Liu Yuhan called out to Li Tielong, Lin Yan, Hero Does Not Question Origin, and Stinky Fish to begin their assault on the Evil Goblin Chief. Even Mu Wanqing and Far Apart, the two priests, took turns casting their judgment skills to wear down the Evil Goblin Chief's vitality.
Thus, Yi Tianchen continuously swung from root to root, leading the Evil Goblin Chief around while occasionally turning back to land a couple of strikes to ensure the aggro remained focused on him. Meanwhile, Liu Yuhan and the others chased after the Evil Goblin Chief, engaging in a relentless battle.
Soon enough, after nearly ten minutes of grinding, Yi Tianchen brought down the Evil Goblin Chief with a Blade Break Slash. Having monopolized 50% of the BOSS's experience allowed him to jump from level 22 at 12% directly to level 23 at 48%, gaining over a level—what a delightful surprise!
"Swish..."
With a flash of deathly light, a plethora of items burst forth in a dazzling display!
Yi Tianchen let out a sigh of relief. Liu Yuhan and the others were exhausted; this grinding tactic was evidently quite a challenge for players' stamina. But looking at the pile of golden coins and three pieces of equipment before them was somewhat gratifying.
What caught everyone's eye was the glaring large sword lying on the ground!
Taking a moment to catch his breath, Yi Tianchen glanced at the sword and immediately used an Identification Technique. A misty white light enveloped it. Following that, amidst everyone's anticipation, a striking silver glow erupted suddenly, prompting an exclamation from Hero Does Not Question Origin—
"Silver Equipment!"
In the game setting of the Zero Era, all melee class weapons are interchangeable. This bladed weapon belongs to the category of heavy weapons, which Yi Tianchen can also use. However, due to the skill Heavy Sword Without Edge, he has a particular fondness for greatswords.
Aside from Yi Tianchen, among the Seven People present, only the Berserker known as Hero Does Not Question Origin is suitable for using heavy weapons!
Bone Crusher Blade: Silver Equipment
Attack: 330-520
Strength: +10
Constitution: +8
Bonus 1: Ignores 10% of the target's physical defense
Bonus 2: Increases the user's physical Critical Hit rate by an additional 8%
Type: Greatsword
Required Level: 25
……
For a moment, everyone was stunned!
Yi Tianchen was particularly shocked; the attack power of the Bone Crusher Blade exceeded that of his Wild Fury by nearly double. He cast a frustrated glance at the Evil Goblin Chief on the ground and felt speechless, sighing inwardly about how despicable this guy was for not practicing swordsmanship and instead focusing on wielding a blade.
"What an impressive attack!"
Liu Yuhan gasped, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Yi Tianchen and said, "Tianchen, you and Hero Does Not Question Origin are the most suitable among us. You two should roll for it!"
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly, continuing to wave his hand as he tossed the Bone Crusher Blade, which landed with a clang right in front of Hero Does Not Question Origin. With a calm demeanor, he swung his weapon, saying, "I prefer using swords. Hero, remember to treat us!"
"Ah—"
Hero Does Not Question Origin shuddered, momentarily stunned. "Brother Luomu, this is Silver Equipment! And it might be the first Silver Equipment on the server! Are you really just giving it to me?"
"What do you mean giving? We earned this together, and your hard work is part of it too. Take it; leveling up to 25 quickly is what matters!"
Yi Tianchen smiled gently, his tone very calm as he used Identification Technique on the other two pieces of equipment while continuing, "Besides, you're now part of Rainy Years Guild. The future of the guild relies on everyone working together!"
Hero Does Not Question Origin nodded excitedly, lightly stroking the grip of the Bone Crusher Blade. With a determined expression, he drew it out with a clang and said earnestly, "Brother Luomu, thank you for your trust in us. Please rest assured that we will not let you and the President down!"
With those words, the scene fell into silence. However, it was clear that everyone was silently making their own resolutions, affirming what Hero Does Not Question Origin had just said.
