Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Who’s coming?” Night Rose was slightly puzzled.

There weren’t many people who could make Blood Dancer and Fist King Wu Ye change their expressions.

But she didn’t need to look; the newcomer had already spoken.

“I didn’t expect to meet our Slaughter Legend, Dharma Saint, here. It’s truly an honor.”

Xia Dongli leisurely walked in with his 30 Mad Magic Team elites.

Just moments ago, after completing a dungeon, Xia Dongli had finally broken through to level 40, solidifying his position as first on the level rankings.

Although he found it strange that there was no world announcement for him being the first to reach level 40, he didn’t pay it much mind.

Because Dharma Saint’s emergence from seclusion had a significant impact on the Great Wasteland.

And since they happened to be near Blood Void City, he immediately came to inquire about Dharma Saint’s whereabouts.

“Xia Dongli.” Lan Xingyue barely glanced at Xia Dongli, her lips parting slightly to utter his name, then said nothing more. She sat directly in her chair, waiting.

It was as if Xia Dongli and his Mad Magic Team didn’t exist at all.

This made Xia Dongli feel somewhat awkward.

After all, he was the God of Levels. Although he had been surpassed a few times, hadn’t he reclaimed his position now?

How could this Dharma Saint ignore him so completely?

He knew Dharma Saint was aloof before, but she would at least exchange a few words. He had never seen her this cold.

“Dharma Saint’s got quite an attitude. You just came out of seclusion, are you really that amazing?”

Although Xia Dongli didn’t say much, someone from his Mad Magic Team behind him couldn’t stand it anymore.

Wherever they went with Xia Dongli, weren’t they usually respected?

Even the other Twelve Gods would show some courtesy.

“I didn’t know there was such a difference between Dharma Saint and our boss, both being among the Twelve Gods. What gives her the right to be so high and mighty?”

Mad Magic – Flame King from the Mad Magic Team said with great displeasure,

“Honestly, apart from our boss, I’ve never crossed hands with any of the Twelve Gods. Today, I’d like to see if your title of Dharma Saint is really deserved.”

As Mad Magic – Flame King finished speaking, he was about to make a move.

But Blood Dancer suddenly spoke up,

“Hey, you with the fire poker, have you no shame?”

“Dharma Saint just came out of seclusion, hasn’t even leveled up once, not even changed her class. I see you’re at least level 35, right? A level 35 wanting to spar with a level zero? How dare you?”

“What fire poker! This is a level 35 blue-quality Black Cloud Magic Staff, how can you call it a fire poker?”

Mad Magic – Flame King looked at the speaker with displeasure, but upon seeing it was Blood Dancer, he immediately chuckled,

“Isn’t this Blood Rose? Not flirting with your Dharma Demon brother, what are you doing stirring up trouble here in Blood Void City?”

Mad Magic – Flame King glanced at Blood Dancer, too lazy to bother with her.

Ordinary players might have a special reverence for Blood Dancer, after all, she was one of the Twelve Legendaries.

But as members of a top expert team, their gap with the Twelve Legendaries wasn’t that big.

Naturally, they weren’t afraid of her.

“Your mouth really needs a beating. Xia Dongli, aren’t you going to control your people?” Fist King Wu Ye chimed in.

“He’s just stating facts. I’m a person who supports reason, not relationships, as you all know.” Xia Dongli chuckled, directly finding a seat and sitting down, adopting a posture of watching a good show.

“You!” Hearing Xia Dongli’s shameless words, the others didn’t know how to retort for a moment.

But unfortunately, although Xia Dongli kept mentioning Dharma Saint’s name, the center of attention, Dharma Saint Lan Xingyue, had ignored them from beginning to end.

This made Xia Dongli and the others feel increasingly hurt.

Mad Magic – Flame King was also in a difficult position. He had been quite spirited earlier, intending to test Dharma Saint’s depths with his shameless spirit.

But after Blood Dancer’s interruption, he no longer had that state of mind.

Moreover, Blood Dancer had pointed out the key issue, making him lose the courage to lower his face and challenge a level zero Dharma Saint.

Besides, Dharma Saint wasn’t even acknowledging him. If he made a move on his own, it would seem very ungraceful and might embarrass Xia Dongli.

“Forget it, let’s just observe for now.” Xia Dongli, surrounded by his people, waved his hand, telling Mad Magic – Flame King to back down.

“I’d like to know why Dharma Saint came out of seclusion early,” Xia Dongli glanced at the motionless, statue-like Lan Xingyue. “What kind of storm is she planning to stir up this time?”

During Mythic, every time Dharma Saint appeared, it would affect various factions and cause some events that shook Mythic.

After all, this woman specialized in killing.

Every time she killed, she never cared about the faction or status of the person she killed.

So after many guild leaders were killed, they wanted to seek revenge on her. When Dharma Saint wasn’t affiliated with any faction before, it wasn’t a big deal.

Now she was one of the twelve presidents of the Temple.

If she continued to kill indiscriminately, it wouldn’t be easy for the Temple to clean up after her.

In fact, as long as they weren’t part of the Temple’s forces, most had some dissatisfaction with the Temple.

These players, with powerful backing in reality, who came to play the game, didn’t they all want to dominate and conquer?

Who didn’t want to command millions of players, enjoy the glory, wield immense power, and carve out their own empire?

No one wanted a behemoth constantly looming over them.

Having to consider them in everything they did.

So various factions were actually quite happy to see this madwoman Dharma Saint come out to stir things up.

This way, they would have a righteous banner under which to unite and deal with the Temple.

Unfortunately, since the Supreme God’s passing, Dharma Saint had announced she would seclude herself for three months, much to their disappointment.

This early emergence from seclusion was exactly what they had been hoping for, and it could be said that it affected the hearts of many factions.

Xia Dongli knew very well that they… were just the first batch to arrive.

Sure enough, just as this thought crossed his mind, he noticed a familiar figure at the door.

“So it’s President Fa Shen Wings. Long time no see.”

Seeing him hesitate at the door, seemingly unsure whether to enter or not, Xia Dongli spoke first, helping Fa Shen Wings out of his awkward situation.

“Oh, it’s the great Dongli. What brings you here as well?”

Fa Shen Wings glanced at the motionless Dharma Saint, then approached Xia Dongli with Tian Mo Wings,

“I heard you’ve reached level 40? Congratulations, I suppose your position as number one in the world is secure now?”

Hearing these words, Xia Dongli’s face twitched slightly. After all, being overtaken on the level rankings by a newbie like A Silly Cutie was quite embarrassing for him.

Whenever someone mentioned it, his expression would become a bit unnatural.

But now that he was level 40, he had surpassed A Silly Cutie by 4 levels on the level rankings.

He believed that this time, A Silly Cutie wouldn’t be able to catch up to him.

So, he naturally accepted it, “It was just luck…”
