Chapter 194: Chapter 193: God-Level Title · Godslayer!
[🎉 Shoutout to Andreas for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]
[Server-Wide Announcement](Dragon Kingdom):
[Ding~ Congratulations to player [Zero] for obtaining a God-Level Title]
When this server-wide announcement was released, countless players in the Dragon Kingdom immediately erupted into chaos!
"Wow! A God-Level Title?"
"According to the stats, the number of players in our Dragon Kingdom with God-Level Titles is less than double digits, right?"
"Wait… why does this ID look so familiar? Isn't this Zero, the newly crowned number one expert of our Zhejiang-Ning Province? Damn! A newly promoted player with a God-Level Title."

Over at Zhang Yue's side.
He opened the title interface.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Godslayer] (God-Level Title)
[Title Effect]: Attack Power +50%, HP +80% (This effect is for second-tier players. Upon reaching the third transformation, the effects will be further enhanced.)
[Description]: A symbol of glory for slaying a God-tier boss. It proves that the titleholder possesses power comparable to that of gods...
As expected of a God-Level Title.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Zhang Yue was only level 47 with a second tier, yet the title already provided a +50% attack power and +80% HP boost.
With the bonus from the title, Zhang Yue's magic attack power jumped from 5,560 to 7,413 (the Void Set grants a 50% bonus to all attributes, and the 50% attack power boost from the title is calculated on the base stats).
His max HP also increased from 29,800 to 45,693.
Zhang Yue was thoroughly satisfied with the rewards from this time.
Of course, he had to thank Ling Ke'er for this. If it weren't for her exhausting all efforts to awaken the Predator, how could Zhang Yue have gotten a divine pet along with a God-Level Title?
He checked the time. It was almost 7 o'clock.
Zhang Yue logged off immediately.
Setting an alarm for 9:30, he fell asleep instantly.
———
When he woke up, he ate the breakfast that Ning Tiantian had thoughtfully prepared and logged back in.
For the upcoming intermediate round of the National Challenge Tournament, players from various provinces and cities were all ready to give it their all.
Everyone awaited the official start of the match at exactly 10 a.m.
In this pyramid-like competition, only a tiny handful of top-tier players were destined to stand out.
In this round, unfortunately, Ning Tiantian was eliminated.
Except for Zhang Yue, no one else managed to secure ten consecutive wins; most lost a few matches.
After all, the major families from Tianjing, Beihai, and the Dragon Kingdom's capital, Longcheng, were too numerous to count.
The guilds under them poured in massive amounts of resources to cultivate professional players whose strength rivaled that of Lin Tian and Wu Haotian, who had infinite energy resources.
Besides raw stats, this was also a contest of awareness and mechanicsn
Fortunately, apart from Ning Tiantian, everyone else successfully advanced.
While Zhang Yue was confident in his current strength and believed he could easily make it to the World Finals during the final domestic match, it didn't stop him from continuing to explore the otherworld to maximize his power.
The quest in the Seventh World required killing 100 Golden Slimes and collecting one Starlight-level Slime Medal.
As for the latter, Zhang Yue had already overachieved this requirement through his God-Level Medal.
However, the former progress was only at 12% after days of effort.
He still needed to hunt 88 more Golden Slimes to complete the quest.
With this, Zhang Yue teamed up with Overlord Blade and the others.
After all, yesterday they sacrificed themselves to protect him and ended up dying at the hands of the Predator • Taotie. They all lost levels.
Leaving the Ottiman Tribe, they headed toward the wilderness.
On the way, Overlord Blade asked hesitantly, "Although what we did wasn't wrong, you indirectly killed the young lady of the Glory Guild. Aren't you afraid of their revenge?"
"Players under level 100 have newbie protection. They can't touch you. But once you hit level 100, it'll be easy for their group of level 200+ players to target a newcomer like you at level 100."
Zhang Yue said nothing, merely giving a faint smile.
Everyone has their backers, don't they?
Let the Glory Guild try taking down the level 500 ninth-tier Heaven and Earth Mage first.
Soon, they arrived at the level 48 wilderness zone: Slime Forest.
At this point, Overlord Blade, not wanting to slow Zhang Yue's progress, suggested, "Let's split up. We'll hunt slimes ourselves—it'll be faster."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue had already locked onto a level 48 Black Iron Slime and cast [Voidless: God Slaying Curse] with a loud "BOOM."
-136,141! Critical Hit!
The slime's 100,000 HP bar was instantly wiped clean.
Zhang Yue glanced at Overlord Blade and said, "Is it faster this way?"
Overlord Blade and his dozens of subordinates all showed expressions of disbelief.
"What the… one skill to kill a level 48 slime?"
"Is this guy even human?"
"This is insane!!"
Overlord Blade sighed, "God-Level Titles are this powerful?"
At the same time, Overlord Blade shuddered inwardly: 'Why did I ever dare to go against this guy?'
Zhang Yue created a party and invited Overlord Blade and Overlord Hunter to join.
Then, he summoned his Twenty Four Winged Extinction Black Dragon, Dark Skeleton King and the Predator.
When the Predator appeared in their line of sight, everyone instinctively gripped their weapons, faces full of fear.
"Pr... Predator?"
"Wasn't this thing already dead?"
Everyone present had been killed by Taotie before, so they were still immersed in the terror it brought them.
Even Overlord Blade couldn't help but tremble.
After all, he had died twice to Taotie, both times instantly killed.
"Careful!"
Just as Overlord Blade thought the Predator would attack them, the Predator rushed at a group of slimes with incredible speed, slashing them down.
-31,258!
-76,982! Critical Hit!
-77,196! Critical Hit!
-30,983!
With a series of rapid strikes, it instantly killed two slimes.
Seeing this, Overlord Hunter and the others were utterly baffled.
At this moment, Overlord Blade noticed the ID above the Predator: [Lv45 Predator · Taotie. Owner— Zero]
"You turned it into your pet?"
"No way! A God-tier boss? How did you even manage that?"
Zhang Yue, holding his staff, said, "Get to work!"
With that, Zhang Yue teamed up with the Skeleton King, Predator, and Black Dragon to begin slaughtering slimes in the area.
Overlord Hunter and his team exchanged glances, stunned.
Then, the three groups scattered and began grinding slimes, collecting medals, and leveling up.
Although Zhang Yue's efficiency in killing monsters was extremely high, the spawn rate for high-level slimes was too low.
After an entire day, they barely managed to kill seven Golden Slimes, bringing the quest progress to 19%.
Still, there was no rush. Slowly but surely.
He could also collect medals to exchange for advanced titles for Wu Haotian and the others later.
———
At 9 p.m., Zhang Yue logged off.
After taking a shower, he was just about to go to bed when he heard a sudden knock on the door.
Opening the door, he saw Ning Tiantian standing there holding an envelope.
"Brother Zhang Yue, a courier just delivered this."
Seeing the familiar envelope, Zhang Yue frowned slightly.
He could already guess what it contained.
Opening it, he found his suspicions confirmed.
"Asura, see you tomorrow. Remember, the match starts at 10 a.m. sharp."
'It is him again.'
How does this guy keep finding Zhang Yue's location?
"Looks like we'll have to meet."
———
The night passed swiftly.
The next morning at 10 a.m., under the watchful eyes of over a billion people, the Global Player Tournament · National Challenge Tournament's advanced round finally began.
Statistics showed that today, across the nation's 34 provinces and autonomous regions, a total of 2,985 newly advanced players participated.
Ultimately, 100 players would be selected to advance to the National Finals.
Reaching this stage was akin to crossing a single-log bridge with thousands of troops.
Due to the high level of attention, the final domestic match required all participants to stream their gameplay.
With over 2,000 live streams available, nearly all were filled to capacity.
Each province's players seemed to represent their region's honor.
On the live stream bullet screens, messages cheering for their provinces scrolled endlessly.
"Go Chongqing!"
"Our Guangning Province is the best! YYDS!"
"Every year, players from Longcheng, Tianjing, and Beihai dominate. Hopefully, this year our Jiangdu Province can shine too. Go Jiangdu elites!"
Clearly, the spectators were even more excited than the players themselves.
