Doomsday Online: Supreme Blessing

“Hey, Linglong, don’t listen to him. He’s letting you go and court death!”

“Exactly! That monster is so formidable; how is it something that can be dealt with with a worn-out spear? All he knows is how to make things look mysterious deliberately!”

The people around took turns to dissuade her; the gazes cast toward Link became increasingly unfriendly.

Link remained unmoved.

Right now, Xue Linglong had walked to the front of the Undead Knight.

Ice rays circulated around the [Spear of the Frosty Moon]; even her entire being had an impeccable aura of a snow lotus lingering around her. At this moment, she felt that her body was filled with strength.

The Undead Knight discovered her and controlled its steed to come charging.

With slightly narrowed eyes, Xue Linglong strode with swift steps. Her figure turned into a blue phantom and vanished, only leaving behind a vague chill.

The Undead Knight missed, and it turned its body and lifted the spear to thrust toward its side.

Ding!

The crisp sound of metal striking each other sounded.

Xue Linglong rose into the air due to the force received and landed stably.

Lifting her head, the glow of confidence began brimming in her eyes. With just this strike, she knew that she already had the capability of fighting Undead Knights. All of this was because of the [Spear of the Frosty Moon] that Link had bestowed upon her.

At that instance, the tips of her feet touched the ground, and she chose to initiate the attack.

Ding ding ding!

Continuous clashes resounded in the spacious schoolyard.

Xue Linglong and the Undead Knight’s fight went back and forth, burning with ardor.

“When did she become so strong?”

“Previously, she couldn’t even resist one strike from that monster. Now they’re actually... fifty-fifty?”

“Is that weapon really a divine artifact?”

The countenances of the people watching changed; their breathing quickened, and their gazes became fiery.

Even though the earlier Xue Linglong was also very strong, her strength was only limited to defeating Skeleton Swordsmen; she could do absolutely nothing to Undead Knights. Otherwise, they would not have been reduced to that state.

However, Xue Linglong’s combat ability had soared so much after gaining a new weapon. How could it not surprise them?

They swallowed their saliva as their gazes sized up Link’s back from time to time with some unknown thoughts in their heart.

“Frost Spike!”

A delicate shout came from the distance, and the temperature around Xue Linglong sank abruptly. Cold currents indistinctly gathered all around, turning into pieces of sparkling ice crystals with two sharp ends. One would be awed just by the sight of them.

Twelve ice crystal shards instantly took form and struck the Undead Knight together. The terrifying chill immediately turned the Undead Knight into an ice statue.

The [Frost Spike] also triggered the two-second freezing effect!

Xue Linglong made a prompt decision, flying forward and burying the spear into the Undead Knight’s eye socket.

Kill!

...

Xue Linglong looked at the [Spear of the Frosty Moon] in her hand; her face was flushed, and her eyes were smiling.

Like a snow lotus that bloomed in the cold wind, the sight of her had one besotted.

She dashed to Link and said, “I did it!”

Link nodded and said, “Given your talent, it would really have been a misjudgment on my part if you couldn’t even finish off an Undead Knight with this spear!”

In other words, this was no big deal.

Xue Linglong promptly held back her smile and nodded while saying, “I will continue to work hard!”

Link made no comment. He then suddenly recalled something and said, “Oh yes, you ought to address me as Lord. Keep that in mind next time, don’t be so ill-mannered.”

Xue Linglong faltered, a speck of undetectable red flashed across her fair and soft cheeks at once. But she still bit her lip lightly and murmured extremely softly, “Yes, Lord!”

Link immediately nodded in satisfaction.

...

At this time, a figure suddenly jumped over and smiled fawningly at Link as he said, “Lord, I’m willing to pledge allegiance to you too!”

Link took one glance at him and recognized that he was one of the people who’d mocked him the most previously. Before he could speak, he found that even more people had swarmed before him.

“I want to pledge allegiance to you too. Henceforth, I will do whatever you say. If you say to go east, I definitely will not head west...”

“And me, and me! I can do that too!”

“Lord, Lord~ Look at me, I’m very obedient...”

...

Link’s brows knitted together at once. What are these people? They were dismissive previously. Now that they have seen that there is good stuff, they come running one after another. Did they think I’m a charity hall?

He lifted his head for a look; there was still a portion of people hiding in the corner with conflicted gazes, seemingly still considering.

Another figure squeezed in with his head bowed. He glanced at Link, opened his mouth, and hesitated again.

The corner of Link’s lips rose slightly. “Duan Xueming, you also want to pledge allegiance to me?”

Duan Xueming’s figure stiffened. A nauseating flattering smile was forced out onto his face that could originally be considered delicate as he said, “Lord, I failed to recognize a formidable person back then! Don’t stoop to my level!”

Haha!

Link chuckled. At the next moment, his smile vanished, and he icily said, “Scram!”

This one word was extremely strong, startling everyone around to the point that they trembled.

“A bunch of unkempt fence-sitters, do you think you’re worthy of coming under my charge?

The crowd’s faces immediately turned a dark red. Even after holding back for a long while, not a sound was heard.

Link arched a brow. “Still not scramming?”

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go...”

A group of people scattered in all directions at once.

Only a dozen people in the corner were left; Qiao Ruowei was among them.

Link shot a look at them. Without saying anything, he turned and intended to leave by himself.

All of sudden, Qiao Ruowei spoke up and stopped him. “Link!”

“Yes?” Link’s gaze was peaceful.

“Link, my grandfather is alone at home. I don’t know how he is now. Could you...” A shred of a plea flashed across Qiao Ruowei’s eyes.

“No!” Link said decisively.

Qiao Ruowei did not expect him to be this direct, and her heart sank at once. She said, “On the account that we were once schoolmates, can’t you just help me this once? Just this time!”

Upon hearing that, Link wore a scornful smile and walked towards Qiao Ruowei step by step. He leaned in very closely until Qiao Ruowei was a little nervous and flustered.

What is he doing? Is he going to do that here...? It’s not appropriate! So many people are watching!

...

“Fool!” Who would’ve thought that an icy rebuke would leave Link’s mouth once he opened it instead of gentle words?

Qiao Ruowei was stunned. Since a young age, nobody had ever scolded her like this. She had always been very obedient and very outstanding... She was always the ‘child of another household’ in the talks of the usual parents.

“Why should I help you? Because you have no sense of shame?” Link was extremely blunt; his disdainful smile became increasingly wide.

When the six words ‘you have no sense of shame’ landed in the ears of the crowd, a commotion instantly broke out.

In an era of peace, using such vocabulary towards a girl was no different from slandering her character.

Qiao Ruowei only felt a lump come up her throat, and some tears vaguely welled in her eyes.

“Cry! Cry it out!” Link scolded lightly.

Qiao Ruowei wrinkled her nose and forcefully held back her tears.

“In the age of Doomsday, everyone finds themselves in danger. Even surviving becomes a problem. Yet, you expect others to help you and also save your grandfather. Why should we?”

“Is it because of this face of yours that could be considered passable, or is it this body of yours that has yet to develop fully?”

Once these words were said, everyone’s countenances changed.

Right away, a boy who could not tolerate this came forward and said indignantly, “Aren’t you being too much by humiliating a girl like this?”

Link did not even spare him a look; he only stared into Qiao Ruowei’s eyes and said, “Is it too much? I’m just saying that I don’t have much interest in a child like you... However, there are a lot of people out there who fancy this!”

“In peaceful times, you can maintain your personal integrity because of legal restrictions and your family’s protection. However, what do you have now? All the capital you can bring out will increase others’ desires to humiliate you...”

“Oh, by the way! There are also those dark creatures out there. Their favorite people to kill are powerless, weak, and incompetent girls who know nothing other than crying like you!”

Every single one of Link’s sentences stabbed into Qiao Ruowei’s heart like the tip of a knife. Her entire body trembled. It was as if she saw herself being captured by dark creatures, pierced through by spears and longswords, then torn to pieces.
