Chapter 031 The Guardian Ring of the Moon!
"Wow, Yu Huang's posts are flooding my feed again."
"Yu Huang is awesome, he actually cleared Nightmare difficulty again."
"I wonder if anyone has noticed that the time it takes Yu Huang to clear Nightmare difficulty is even less than the time it takes to clear Hard difficulty."
"Holy crap, it really is! Could it be that the Emperor of the Universe was hiding his true strength all along?"
"I don't think so. It's more likely that his skills have improved too quickly."
"Is god-level talent really that terrifying? The speed at which its strength increases is incredibly fast."
"The first-clear reward also boosts Emperor Yu's strength; it's a snowball effect—the strong only get stronger!"
"Do you think the Emperor of Space can still beat Hell difficulty?"
"I don't know, but all I know is that if even the Emperor of the Universe can't clear it, then no one can clear the Hell difficulty."
"..."
Countless players of the Holy Dragon Empire were abuzz with discussion, deeply shocked by Su Yu's strength.
……
Holy Dragon Empire, Beginner Village #1.
A young man holding a long sword suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"I'm still grinding mobs on Hard difficulty, and Yu Huang has already cleared Nightmare difficulty?" Jian Zhan Xinghe muttered to himself.
"Forget it, let's not compare ourselves to that freak. Anyway, we're all from Great Xia, and there shouldn't be any conflict under normal circumstances."
After experiencing the difficulty of the goblin minions, Jian Zhan Xinghe had already given up on comparing himself to Su Yu.
After all, Su Yu cleared the difficult difficulty in just over ten minutes, and he might not even have the ability to clear the difficult difficulty now.
At least in the short term, he has no chance of catching up with Su Yu.
As it turned out, Su Yu cleared Nightmare difficulty in an even shorter time, which completely dispelled his idea of comparing himself to Su Yu.
His current goal is to become the number one person after Su Yu.
……
Holy Empire, Beginner Village No. 996.
"No, this is impossible! How could the Emperor of the Universe be so strong!" Israel even began to doubt his own existence.
How could anyone be so powerful at this stage? He simply couldn't understand it.
He is clearly a god-level talent possessor, so why is he struggling so much even on the hard difficulty level?
He only entered the Hard difficulty a little later than Su Yu, but now Su Yu has already cleared Nightmare difficulty while he's still here grinding goblin mobs.
Israel couldn't understand why there was such a big gap between him and Su Yu.
……
Cherry Blossom Kingdom, Beginner Village No. 250.
"Yu Huang can never stay ahead forever. His strength is just a flash in the pan, and he will fall from grace sooner or later."
"The higher he stands now, the harder he will fall in the future."
"When he sees others surpassing him one by one, he will inevitably be unable to bear the gap and will never recover."
"And even if he's stronger now, so what? He's no threat to me, and he won't affect my growth." A glint of light flashed in Miyamoto Kei's eyes.
After all, the borders won't be open in the early stages, so no matter how powerful Su Yu becomes in the early stages, it won't affect the players of their Sakura Kingdom.
Once the borders are opened up later, Su Yu will probably have faded into obscurity and become no longer a threat.
……
Holy Dragon Empire, Beginner Village #9528.
In the Nightmare difficulty Goblin Plains dungeon.
"Damn, the reward for the first kill of a silver-level BOSS is so generous! It directly rewards a growth-type silver moon-level accessory." A hint of joy flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
The reward for the first kill of a Bronze-level BOSS is a Star-level accessory that can be upgraded.
The reward for the first kill of a silver-level BOSS is a whole level higher than the former.
Doesn't this mean that the reward for the first kill of a Gold-level BOSS might be a level higher than the reward for the first kill of a Silver-level BOSS?
This immediately filled Su Yu with anticipation for the upcoming hellish difficulty level.
Moreover, above the Gold-level BOSS are Diamond-level BOSSes, Star-level BOSSes, and so on... This is clearly a stable channel for obtaining high-level rewards.
"It seems I can't let go of the first kill reward for each tier of BOSS from now on, I must get it!" A glint of light flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
One step ahead leads to another, and the strong remain strong—this is an age-old truth.
Now that he is already far ahead, the gap between him and other players will only widen in the future.
Moreover, in Su Yu's view, his real opponents are not the players on Blue Star, but players from other civilizations, or even the mastermind behind the "Immortality" game.
He needs to become strong enough so that he can gain a foothold in this unfamiliar game world and prevent the destruction of Earth's civilization.
His parents are still on Earth. When he was a child, his parents protected him. Now it's his turn to protect his parents.
When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and right now he is that tall person.
As long as he can live on, then the Blue Star civilization will never be wiped out.
Perhaps one day, when he is strong enough, he may be able to return to Earth.
Composing himself, Su Yu opened his backpack, preparing to check the world announcement reward he had just received.
I just received three world announcement rewards: the first kill of a silver-level boss and the first clear of nightmare difficulty.
Compared to the rewards for clearing the hard difficulty for the first time, the tier of the rewards remains the same, but the quantity has increased.
The reward included two pieces of growth-type diamond-level armor and three gold-level fashion enhancement stones, which is quite generous.
After all, this is only a level 5 dungeon, so it's already pretty good to have this many rewards.
