As the arrows neared him, a clear disregard could be seen in Dylan's expression.
"How arrogant. Do you really think you can face my most proud skill? A mere warrior that joined just two years ago isn't qualified to even face my strongest attack." Wou Yuan looks proud. "I don't believe you can still come out alive after this."
"Why talk too much?" Dylan shook his head and immediately dashed forward.
"Huh? Is this Warrior Dylan really just joined two years ago? Unbelievable..."
"Hmmmm... He moves like a phantom with uncanny accuracy. His entire moves where he wants it to be. It seems we have another rising genius in our midst."
"Fuck right? I've joined the Alliance for how long? Five years? But I'm not as good as him in terms of footwork."
Under Wou Yuan's incredulous gaze. Dylan got past the swords with ease. The five arrows that missed their target completely, collided with the barrier.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The barrier around the arena shook a little. It's not that the arrows are weak. But the barrier was just designed to withstand attacks below level 90.
Dylan, still with a blank expression, went behind Wou Yuan like a slippery snake while dodging Wou Yuan's fierce kick shrouded with a sharp wind aura.
"Tch!" Wou Yuan clicked his tongue, annoyed by Dylan's elusive figure. "Do you only know how to dodge? Fight me head-on you coward!"
Just as Wou Yuan was about to turn around. He felt two strong arms wrapped around his neck, completely locking him.
He couldn't move and the angle and position made it hard for him to generate force. The two arms wrapped around his neck were like unmovable shackles that wouldn't even budge.
A trace of panic finally replaced Wou Yuan's previously complacent expression as it sank into him.
'I'm dead! What kind of physical monstrosity is this!?'
"S-pare m..."
Dylan didn't let Wou Yuan finish his words. How could let him go just because he wants to? Is there such a good thing? If the roles were reversed, he was sure that this bastard wouldn't let him go either. One cannot just escape the consequences just because they want to.
"I have some advice for you for your next life. If you don't seek death, you won't die." Dylan whispered in Wou Yuan's ears, who now looked completely devoid of blood on his face as it was horrifying for him to know that he was about to die, yet he couldn't do anything about it.
[-500 hp!]
[-500 hp!]
[-500 hp!]
...
After nine seconds, Wou Yuan's body withered completely as if his life force was thoroughly devoured. He was sucked completely dry by Dylan's bloodsucking skill.
Dylan nodded his head with a happy smile. "It's really not a useless skill anymore."
On the other hand, the audience who witnessed the scene felt like they just watched a dark magic performance, and they shuddered.
"What kind of demonic art is that? To completely absorb an opponent's vitality!? What kind of profession does he have? A fucking vampire?"
"No, I think it's more of an innate skill. It's really a dark power one that is unethical."
"Huh? What unethical? Any means can be used in the life and death arena. Not to mention, dark abilities or demonic arts only become bad if the user is evil. The nature of an ability only depends on the user. Even light magic that is considered good-natured can be used for evil if wielded by a villain."
In the arena, Dylan didn't even spare a glance at Wou Yuan's corpse and threw him to the side like a useless rag doll. Then, his figure disappeared in the arena.
The audience, seeing the fun was over. Green light shone one after another shrouded their figures and vanished along with them.
...
Dylan, back at his Abode, softly whispered. "Too easy. Even opponents that were levels above me were nothing more than that."
*DING!*
[The Savage Deer encountered a fortuitous encounter that propelled his level to 40. He swallowed a hundred-year-old meandering Purple Lotus.]
*DING!*
[The Savage Deer successfully evolved to Berserker Deer! Congratulations!]
"..."
The series of prompts caught Dylan off guard. What an unexpected windfall! Unfortunately, the Savage Deer leveled not through killing monsters but by eating a spiritual plant. Dylan didn't get feedback.
However, Dylan was happy that his Savage Deer. No, he should call him Berserker Deer now. He managed to become level 40 in one leap. The Berserker Deer totally overtook him and the Hobgoblin!
*DING!*
[A milestone was achieved. Due to your two soul fragments achieving surpassing level 30. It triggered new changes to the panel. Now, the talent panel is added, and the categories will now be displayed by color.]
'Huh? I actually achieved a milestone thanks to Hobgoblin and Berserker Deer surpassing level 30. So there are still milestones?'
Curious, Dylan called out his system. He wants to see what the updates were.

...
As he saw the changes, Dylan quickly understood what color ranking meant. As long as one isn't stupid, they would know the panel arranged it from high to low. Black represents the strong, which was his Soul Split ability, which didn't surprise him. Gold represents the second strongest, followed by Purple, Blue, Green, and White as the weakest.
'So Space Dominion is actually evaluated Gold by the system? It's only one lower below than my Soul Split which was my strongest reliance.'
But what really caught his attention was the new innate talents category. At present, he has one talent called Space Holy Physique.
He clicked it with a thought in his mind.
[Space Holy Physique (Purple)- An unparalleled talent and affinity to space. Greatly exceeds the comprehension of Dao of Space compared to mortals. Enlightenment on the path of space is a norm for you.]
'I see... So this is the talent that came from my profession listed as purple. If purple innate talent is already this strong. Then, how strong is a gold innate talent!?'
