Chapter 628 - Feeding the Darkwing Dragon! (1/2)

Xu Yan was clad in sleek golden armour which glittered with a dazzling radiance. He was armed to the teeth, his fists, elbows, shoulders, and so on covered in sharp spikes. This was clearly an equipment set, and a Dark Gold-grade one at that. As for what it was called, Fu Guangtao had no idea. But he was sure it wasn’t low level; at the very least, it was much better than the set he was wearing.

Glancing at Xia Tianyu and Fei Zhe, those two also sported high level Dark Gold-grade sets.

Fu Guangtao’s head was spinning. Since when did Dark Gold-grade sets become as common as cabbage?

Seeing this new development, Zhao Shiyu was also struck dumb. She didn’t expect Xu Yan, Xia Tianyu, and Fei Zhe to make such a flashy entrance. The equipment of the trio immediately caused them to feel ashamed of their inferiority. Even Fu Guangtao, who had the best equipment in their group, couldn’t compare.

Thinking about it now, one could imagine just how ridiculous Fu Guangtao looked calling Xu Yan, Xia Tianyu, and Fei Zhe trash. In front of the trio, their group was the real trash!

「Dammit! How did those three get such good equipment?」Fu Guangtao said in voice chat.

「I don’t know! Wasn’t their equipment pretty trash before? How did they suddenly become so strong?」Zhao Shiyu said, unable to wrap her head around this matter.

With the current equipment of Xu Yan and the other two, Fu Guangtao would lose miserably if he tried making a move on them.

Fu Guangtao was far from a brave and unyielding character. When push came to shove, he was like a wet rag. He swallowed back the venomous words that were about to leave his mouth.

“Didn’t you say we’d better watch our backs whenever we set out for a dungeon? You’ll kill us if you see us? We’ll be too afraid to set foot outside of the city? Well, come on. If you have what it takes, I’d like to see you try,” Xu Yan said with a cold smile. He had made considerable progress recently. This, combined with the equipment Nie Yan gave him, made him overflow with confidence. He was no longer like before, readily submitting to humiliation.

“If you want to have a showdown, just name a time and place! We’ll accept your challenge!” Xia Tianyu declared. Even before he received the Dark Gold-grade set from Nie Yan, he was never afraid of Fu Guangtao.

Fu Guangtao remained silent, not daring to reply. Zhao Shiyu and the others were also the same. They were people who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Xu Yan, Xian Tianyu, and Fei Zhe’s old equipment was pretty lacking, so they weren’t the slightest bit afraid. But now, they knew beating the trio would be impossible.

Given their current equipment, Xu Yan, Xia Tianyu, and Fei Zhe could easily lead Chu Chenghao and the others through high level dungeons. They would definitely be much better off with the trio than when they were with Zhao Shiyu, Fu Guangtao, and their lot. This was a fact.

“Where are those big words from before? I thought you guys were really fierce. Why are you suddenly so quiet? Did you lose your tongue?” One of the Mages in Chu Chenghao’s group shot Fu Guangtao and the others a look of disdain.

“I think it’s cause they’re scared. I guess they only amount to this much. When someone stronger shows up, they suddenly become so meek.”

…

The people around Chu Chenghao had all been suppressing a bellyful of rage. Now, all of it was erupting out, and they started ridiculing Fu Guantao and Zhao Shiyu relentlessly.

Fu Guangtao and Zhao Shiyu became embarrassed. They felt staying any longer would only make them lose more face.

Zhao Shiyu shot the trio a look of rancor, then turned away with a cold snort.

Fu Guangtao had nothing else to say and followed suit.

Watching Zhao Shiyu and Fu Guangtao’s dreary figures, Xu Yan and the others felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Xu Yan clenched his fists, resolving to become even stronger. The day would soon come that clowns like Zhao Shiyu, Fu Guangtao, and Bai Jun would never dare to mess with them again!

“Come on, let’s go levelling.” Xu Yan turned to Chu Chenghao and the others.
