Chapter 1014: Know Your Place
If you only looked on the surface, anyone would think that among the three divine beast girls, Chang Yue had the best temper.
But in reality, Chang Yue had the worst temper.
Don't be fooled by her gentle and charming demeanor.
That side only showed when she was around people she was close to.
When strangers approached, Chang Yue's attitude became downright nasty.
Right now—
The group of young nobles was completely dumbfounded.
They never expected that this incredibly gentle beauty could kick that Leopardkin flying in an instant.
And she didn't even use any skill...
Most of those nobles were around Level 120.
But that Leopardkin heir wasn't just Level 120.
Among them, three or four of the leaders were over Level 150.
And that Leopardkin heir, who was Level 150 and a 'Steel Guardian' class, still got kicked flying by this gentle beauty.
Even though the kick was fast, a Steel Guardian shouldn't have been sent flying so easily.
But the fact was, he was kicked flying.
"Young Master!!"
The Leopardkin's bodyguards cried out in alarm.
Alarmed or not, they immediately turned to go retrieve their young master.
None of them dared confront this gentle-looking woman.
Why?
Because they had figured it out.
This woman was not someone to mess with!
Not at all!
She'd kicked their young master flying right under their noses—and they hadn't even sensed it.
What did that mean?
It meant this gentle beauty's level and strength far surpassed all of them!
So what were they waiting for?
Run!
The bodyguards were smart. While rescuing their young master, they ran straight back.
The rest of the nobles' bodyguards quickly used the universal skill Voice Transmission to warn their clients: these people were not to be trifled with.
Don't be stupid and provoke them.
So the young nobles who were about to explode with anger quickly held it in.
They turned and left.
No longer daring to travel together.
Watching the nobles flee, Meng Shuang curled her lips slightly, thinking these guys were at least sensible.
At least they didn't keep causing trouble.
If they had, well, at the very least they'd end up severely injured.
And if they pushed it further, they'd end up dead right here.
"Let's go."
At that moment—
Ling Zhan, their master, spoke.
Chang Yue's frosty expression instantly melted, replaced with her gentle demeanor. She nodded sweetly in reply.
That scene…
Made Meng Shuang curl her lips again.
Sister Chang Yue was such a good actress.
But only in front of their master.
Yun Man, however, looked a little disappointed.
She had really wanted to beat someone up—her hands were itching.
"Once we get to Opportunity Island, there should be some fights to pick."
Chang Yue said softly.
Yun Man nodded.
Buzz!!
At that moment, the spatial teleportation array began to activate.
In the next second—
Ling Zhan and the others vanished from the spot.
They had arrived on Opportunity Island, suspended in the Endless Sea.
Thanks to his Space Domination talent, Ling Zhan was completely immune to the dizziness caused by teleportation.
Worth mentioning…
The teleportation dock on Opportunity Island was still a safe zone.
A small town had even formed here.
The town was bustling and lively.
But outside the town lay the true battleground of Opportunity Island.
The place was packed with people every day.
Shockingly, looking out from the town, you could see magical explosions rising constantly on the horizon.
"Probably fighting over some opportunity again..."
"Heard a Level 200 powerhouse failed his ascension just yesterday."
"All his gear scattered across the island."
"Now the Professionals are killing each other over it."
The surrounding Professionals were already used to it.
Lately, too many Level 200 powerhouses had been trying to ascend.
In the past, they rarely saw one.
Now, they saw them nearly every day.
"It's so weird. During the Ten Thousand Demons Cavern war, we barely saw any of those Level 200 powerhouses."
"But now that the war's over, they're all rushing to ascend..."
Someone couldn't help muttering.
Yeah...
This was happening because many Level 200 powerhouses had only reached that level through grinding over time.
And they hid their identities to avoid joining the war.
The reason was simple—they treasured their lives and feared death.
So they avoided that brutal, world-shaking war.
Doing their best to avoid risk.
Hoping to quietly ascend to the Upper Realm.
Honestly, that mindset wasn't wrong.
Everyone was free to choose—fight if you want, stay out if you don't.
But without the tempering of real battles, their combat skill was naturally far inferior.
And how could the Nether Domain Ruins—the ascension trial dungeon—possibly be easy?
That's why things were turning out like this.
Out of ten ascenders, maybe only two or three succeeded.
The rest all died in the Nether Domain Ruins dungeon.
They had played it safe all their lives.
But in the end, because they played it too safe, their combat ability was weak—and they died in the ascension trial.
Kinda ironic, isn't it?
That's why Opportunity Island had been so chaotic lately.
Everyone was fighting over opportunities.
The town's Professionals even enjoyed watching the drama.
A lot of Professionals died in the chaos.
But a lucky few struck it rich.
A Level 200 Professional had some serious loot.
Maybe not every item was a holy artifact, but at least two or three would be.
And their gear was top-tier at minimum.
They also carried plenty of pills and rare items.
So whoever managed to loot them would hit the jackpot.
They'd be set for life.
Some rejoiced, some grieved.
"Master, should we join in?"
Yun Man looked at Ling Zhan with a hopeful gaze.
Ling Zhan shook his head.
He wasn't interested in those so-called opportunities.
Yun Man immediately looked a bit disappointed.
But Ling Zhan added,
"If you want to join the fray, go ahead."
"I'll stay here for two more days before entering the Nether Domain Ruins dungeon. During these two days, you're free to do as you like—just be careful."
With her master's permission, Yun Man immediately vowed, "Don't worry, Master! We'll be fine!"
Meng Shuang nodded furiously beside her.
They'd been itching for a fight.
Now that they had permission, they could finally go wild.
"I'll stay..."
Chang Yue gently shook her head.
She wanted to stay by her master's side.
