Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 35

Han Xing was very pleased with Coal’s astonishing growth potential.

At this moment, Coal seemed to sense his master’s joy. It appeared next to the Mud Slime’s corpse in one swift movement and then reappeared at Han Xing’s feet in another.

Han Xing could see a few Spirit Cores in its mouth, seemingly seeking his approval.

He crouched down, patted Coal’s head, and said: “Go ahead, you’ve earned it.”

Coal happily bounced up and down on the spot.

After taking over the territory of the Mud Slime, Han Xing continued to explore other sky islands.

By now, Han Xing realized that Coal, having leveled up to LV2, was practically like an energetic mini-boss.

In situations where the attributes of the monsters couldn’t suppress it, Coal moved through them as if the place was unguarded!

In every battle, Coal charged ahead as if on a rush, facing even the most powerful monsters in front of Han Xing.

Then, Han Xing would only see a flash of black light, unable to even catch a glimpse of Coal before it finished the fight.

Sometimes, Han Xing would exploit his own powerful attacks to instantly kill enemies in the midst of Coal’s skirmishes.

But soon, Han Xing discovered that when it came to ordinary monsters, there wasn’t much for him to do.

He only needed to follow behind Coal to gain experience.

Thanks to its Form of the Void, which provided a 50% evasion rate, combined with Coal’s scary speed, very few monsters could land an attack on it.

One by one, the monsters fell at their feet.

Han Xing stood with his arms crossed at the back, joyfully watching Coal charge forward into battle.

[Successfully Killed Granite Rabbit LV4 x3, You Gained +120 XP, Your Pet ‘Coal’ Gained +84 XP]

[Successfully Killed Yellow Deer LV5, You Gained +50 XP, Your Pet ‘Coal’ Gained +40 XP]

[Successfully Killed…]

1 hour later.

Han Xing suddenly noticed that a white glow simultaneously appeared on both himself and Coal, with a system notification popping up.

[Your Level Has Increased, Current Level: LV4]

[Your Pet ‘Coal’ Level Has Increased, Current Level: LV3]

“Leveled up again?”

Han Xing couldn’t even remember how many times he had been surprised today.

It had been less than an hour since Coal reached level 2, yet now it was already level 3.

Even for himself, it had taken a whole day to progress from level 2 to level 3.

This little guy’s leveling speed was truly like a rocket.

Han Xing patted Coal’s head.

Coal, now upgraded to level 3, has completely surpassed him in panel attributes.

With 21 points of Dexterity, plus the 200% speed boost from the skill ‘Void Flicker,’ even those level 5 elite monsters probably can’t keep up with it.

At this moment, Han Xing realized that dealing with ordinary monsters was no longer his concern.

Moreover, Coal was resolving battles at an increasingly faster pace.

A series of system notifications appeared.

His experience bar was skyrocketing at an unprecedented speed.

In just 1 hour, he had reached 50% of level 4, and in another hour, he could break through directly to level 5!

More importantly, Han Xing’s territory area was expanding at a terrifying rate.

456…

478…

512…

Now, Han Xing’s territory points have reached 584!

In just over 2 hours, they had increased by over 100 points, equivalent to more than 100 m² of territory area!

On the Territory Points Leaderboard, Han Xing had managed to climb back into the top 20.

But his growth rate did not attract much attention from others.

Because currently on the Territory Points Leaderboard.

The 1st place, Whisperer, has already broken through the 900 mark, reaching 912 points. He is just 88 points away from securing 1st place!

The 2nd place, Black Hawk, and the 3rd place, Papaya Star Spirit, are closely following with 874 and 852 points, respectively.

In the chat channel, everyone’s talking excitedly about the rankings.

“I think this time, the 1st place will definitely belong to our ‘God’s Whisper’ Boss Whisperer, right?”

Not necessarily. Our ‘Airplane Men’ leader, Papaya Star Spirit, isn’t one to be underestimated. The gap isn’t that big, and Boss Papaya Star Spirit can catch up soon!

“In your dream, Papaya Star Spirit is a Warrior class. He can’t even catch up to Black Hawk, who is a Rogue class, let alone Whisperer, who is a Mage.”

“You’re talking nonsense! Our Airplane Men leader, Papaya Star Spirit, won’t lose. The 1st place will definitely be ours!”

“Hehe…”

As their argument went on without resolution.

The three leaders on the leaderboard were each tense and on edge.

By this point, none of them dared to relax even slightly.

Even though their mental states were at the brink, with eyelids feeling like they were filled with lead, they gritted their teeth and continued exploring.

On a certain sky island territory.

Whisperer’s eyes were close to bloodshot, his face was sallow and emaciated, looking as if he had lost more than 10 pounds.

But he continued to grit his teeth and kept encouraging himself.

“Hang in there! You must hang in there!”

“We’re just one step away from victory. I must take 1st place!”

Whisperer was barely holding on, fighting against the monster in front of him. Even though his movements with the bronze staff had become numb, he continued casting the Fireball Spell to blast the monster.

Black Hawk and Papaya Star Spirit were in the same situation.

Among them was the Rogue Black Hawk.

Before coming to this world, he seemed to be a member of a special organization, with astonishing combat awareness.

After arriving in this world and obtaining extraordinary power, he adapts quickly like a fish in water.

At this moment, Black Hawk silently appeared behind a Dark Elf Warrior. In a flash of cold light, a bronze dagger sliced across the Dark Elf’s neck.

The strike was so smooth and unpretentious, yet it was pleasing to the eye.

It seemed as though it had been practiced tens of thousands of times.

Bl00d spurted.

In the next moment, the corpse of the Dark Elf Warrior fell limply to the ground.

On the ground, there were 5 or 6 Dark Elves corpses lying haphazardly.

It was clear these Dark Elves had caused Black Hawk quite a bit of trouble.

He had several new wounds on his body, the most serious being the deep cut on his back inflicted by the Dark Elf Warrior, continuously bleeding.

At this moment, a bloodthirsty intent appeared on Black Hawk’s usually serious face.

It was a demeanor that only someone who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of bl00d could possess.

In the Twilight Mercenaries group chat, someone asked, “Captain, are you okay?”

Black Hawk’s expression returned to its icy coldness. He replied softly, “Not bad.”

“Though it’s exhausting and painful, this nerve-wracking feeling, where one wrong move could lead to utter ruin, makes me feel like I’m back on the battlefield…”

Just then, Black Hawk suddenly noticed a black aura gathering in front of the treasure chest guarded by the Dark Elves.

The aura grew more solid, eventually forming a humanoid silhouette.

“A Vengeful Spirit, a level 5 elite monster…”

Black Hawk closed the group chat, his eyes narrowing, an alarm continuously ringing in his mind.

The next moment, the shadow vanished and, at a terrifying speed, rushed toward Black Hawk.

Black Hawk didn’t even have time to react before the shadow appeared right in front of him.

“So fast…”

That was his last thought before Black Hawk’s figure was sent flying backward.
