Chapter 1525: Novoa Valentine

Tang Shaoyang regarded the warning seriously, but he still did everything as usual. Going out for a hunt as usual. The plan was to look for a rank 7 Calamity. He had a few on the list, but he changed his mind after the warning.

The rank 7 calamity was still unknown to him. He did not want to get interrupted while fighting a new monster. Heading to the west gate, he noticed his followers increased. There were another three people following him, making it seventeen.

The three followers looked like participants just like him. He could tell by their outfit since Admin Helper had their own outfits and a badge. The new three followers did not have those two things.

"Are they the Holsman brothers?" While he heard a lot of rumors about the Holsman brothers, he never met them in person. He did not know what they looked like.

As he left the city through the west gate, no one followed him. Including the three participants. He waited for another hour outside to ensure that he was not being tailed. No one followed him again today.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged and went to look for his prey for today. Another thing he realized after three weeks. The difficulty of the trial was not just about killing the calamity, but also looking for them. It was hard to find a high-ranking calamity. Even the rank six was hard to find as most of them moved alone instead of in a group.

'Are we going to enter the ruin today?' Vandir asked.

Tang Shaoyang found a ruin that had become a nest of rank six calamity. That was right, the ruin was infested with thousands of rank six calamities. There were also eight rank seven calamities and one rank eight calamity. It was the only rank six calamity and above that lived in a colony so far, the only one.

"Maybe we should go for it to maintain our first place."

Even though his focus was on Amos, he still wanted first place since he was at the top already. That ruin might widen the gap further between him and Ian.

Tang Shaoyang decided to go to the ruin with the rank six calamity. When he said a ruin, it was a ruined city. A massive ruined city, bigger than the Tang Capital. The city was surrounded by a massive wall, a hundred meters wall. The wall looked daunting even though it was in a ruin already.

The rank six calamity residing in the city was a giant spider. The spider's legs were covered in white fur with twelve legs. Their abdomen was pitch black like an obsidian, and the city was covered in the black web.

Through the Chaos Eyes, he could find dozens of these spiders near the wall. Even though they lived in the same city. They were separated by a certain distance. As if they had their territory in the city. However, he had tried to fight one, and he did not know how, but the nearby spiders would come for them as well the moment he started to fight one. They worked together even though they looked like a creature that lived in solitude.

'Today is going to be fun!' Afi was quite excited as this might be the first time they fought a lot of calamities at the same time. Beforehand, Tang Shaoyang still used his hunting method. Luring the calamity one by one, ambushing them. Killing them before the calamity could fight back. That was a boring way to fight, and today would be different.

Tang Shaoyang was about to make his way to the ruin when he felt a vibration on the ground. He turned to the right where the vibration came from. There was a fight there. His Chaos Eyes covered a thousand-meter area, but he could not see the fight. That meant the fight was further than a thousand meters.

"Let's check that area first. I don't want to be disturbed during our fight."

The vibration on the ground was getting stronger and stronger as he got closer to where the fight took place. Through Chaos Eyes, he spotted who fought. It was three against one, not a calamity, but fellow participants.

Three men with silver hairs ganged up on a woman who had long white hair. He did not recognize all of them, but they were the crop participants. He could see that by the impact of their fight. They were stronger even compared to Timo, Eson, and Castor.

The woman with white hair dodged all the assaults with her bat-like wings. The three men could transform into a white wolf anytime, chasing after the woman ferociously. The three men's laughter could be heard from time to time.

Tang Shaoyang recognized that the woman was a vampire. He felt something familiar from the woman from Zhang Mengyao who had Vampire Bloodline. Though Zhang Mengyao was just half-vampire. If she fully inherited the bloodline, her race would change to be a vampire.

As he watched the fight, he noticed the fight came closer to him. The woman brought the fight to his side. As if she knew there was someone here.

His gut was right, the woman sensed him. As the distance reduced to just a hundred meters, the woman yelled, "Hey, you! Help me fight them! I will let you have all the kills! They are the Holsman brothers!"

The Holsman brothers stopped their assault when they heard the woman's words, realizing there was someone close. That brief moment gave the woman a chance to get to Tang Shaoyang's side.

"If you help me, I will let you have the kill! They are the Holsman brothers. Killing them all should be enough to boost you to the top ten!" She arrived below the tree where Tang Shaoyang stood. Her eyes locked on the three brothers who were still chasing after her.

One of the Holsman brothers recognized Tang Shaoyang and cursed out, "Fuck! Why is he here? I thought his hunting ground was in the south?"

Tang Shaoyang has become a sensational topic in the city. Especially after killing two Admin Helpers by himself. It had become a hot topic among the participants even now. Their feat wiping out the champion's part was shadowed by Tang Shaoyang's feat. Willem van Holsman had seen Tang Shaoyang from a distance before, hence he immediately recognized Tang Shaoyang.

The woman with white hair turned toward Tang Shaoyang, looking at Tang Shaoyang's face. His eyes widened a little bit with a realization. She was trying to run from the wolves, but she came to the dragon.

Tang Shaoyang's name was no less notorious than the Holsman brothers. Not just about the feat of killing Admin Helper, but also the culprit who annihilated The Sorc Clan as well as The Vigamaur Dgaror. Even though Tang Shaoyang did not announce it like the Holsman brothers. Everyone could guess the disappearance of the Vigamaur Dgaror and The Sorc Clan related to Tang Shaoyang.

"Who is he?" The other two Holsman brothers asked curiously.

"He is Tang Shaoyang!" Even though the Holsman brothers announced that they wanted to kill the first, second, and third place. However, they prioritized killing the other two, and he put Tang Shaoyang as the last target. Willem was not stupid to prioritize the person who could kill two Admin Helpers on his own.

"Aren't we lucky then, Will?" One of the Holsman brothers had the opposite direction. Meeting Tang Shaoyang just made him excited. That meant they could get rid of the first and third place.

"Are you stupid, Zellen? We have been chasing that bitch for an hour, and we can't kill her. Now we have this guy, Admin Helper killer as well. Let's retreat!" Willem van Holsman was more sane than his youngest brother, Zellen van Holsman. He was not that crazy to face Novoa Valentine and Tang Shaoyang at the same time.

"Are you going to join me or not?" Novoa Valentine asked Tang Shaoyang once more. She had been dodging the fight as she did not want to fight the trio. But the chance of her winning would be higher with Tang Shaoyang despite the high risk. Tang Shaoyang might come after her after killing the trio.

"Are you scared, Will?" Zellen grinned ear to ear, making a face to mock his brother, "I will face that Tang guy, and you two go for that bitch!"

Without waiting for an answer, Zellen Holsman turned into a wolf and leaped toward Tang Shaoyang, leaving a white trail. But soon he faced a blade, a black blade right between his eyes. He moved too fast, and the blade came out of nowhere as well. He thought the blade would cut him through for sure until he felt a force behind him, pulling him from the blade.

Swoosh!

Quinten van Holsman narrowly saved his brother from being cut into two. If not for his quick movement and reaction. Zellen's body would be cut into two. He threw Zellen's body backward as he also retreated next to where his brother crashed. Willem also joined his two brothers.

Tang Shaoyang clicked his tongue. He almost got one of them on that first try.

Even though Zellen narrowly avoided his death. The man was still laughing as he stood up. There was a thin cut on his forehead and blood flowed, turning the white fur into red. A half second later, his skull was split into two, and yet the man still let out a manic laughter.

"JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA! This will be fun!" Zellen turned toward his brother, "I owe you one, Quinten. You and Will just focus on that bitch. I will not let my guard down this time!"
