  Qin Ruo took Xiaoxiao along and began practicing Compressed Frost Bullet in Killer Bee Valley.

  After half an hour, Homme Fatale who was standing afar observing Qin Ruo and Xiaoxiao began to change from being bored and unfazed to being so startled that he stood up and began focusing his attention toward Qin Ruo who was casting Compressed Frost Bullet repeatedly.

  “Hmm?”


  Although Scarlet Bauhinia was paying attention tow Qin Ruo, he could not ignore the current state of his Evil Frost Tiger. After all pets could not use recovery potions, moreover once they died only two hard choices could be made: After the death of the pet, rebind with a new Pet Egg; or remove the pet’s memories by using the soul seal to rebind it again as a new Pet Egg, hatch the pet and train from scratch.

  Thus once Scarlet Bauhinia noticed Homme Fatale stand up and was looking motionless toward Qin Ruo and Xiaoxiao’s direction, a doubt arose in his mind and he asked, “What’s the matter?”


  ” Have you noticed that fellow has not used a single MP Potion since the beginning?”


  When Homme Fatale revealed his observation, a slight agitation can be sensed from his tone as he stared glaringly at the male Aquamancer dressed in plain white unblinking.

  After crushing the heads of two Twin-headed Bees, Steel Dude simply tossed their carcasses aside. He scrubbed his slime-filled hand nonchalantly and said, “So what? Do you think everybody has to raise their skill mastery like you by lavishly using money?”


  In comparison, after Scarlet Bauhinia was able to infer the meaning behind Homme Fatale’s observation, he asked with slightly furrowed brows, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”


  “There is no mistake, I have noticed it since a few minutes ago and paid close attention to his every action. He has not meditated once since the beginning—neither did he used any MP Potion.”


  Homme Fatale ignored Steel Dude’s astonished gaze and continued telling Scarlet Bauhinia his observations, “There’s more! Pay attention to his charging time.”


  Scarlet Bauhinia who was a Shadowmancer having heard what was said instantly began paying attention to Qin Ruo who was afar.

  ‘


  Subsequently……

  After Scarlet Bauhinia noticed Qin Ruo’s second spell he cast, his brows furrowed and noticed the strangeness whenever Qin Ruo was charging.

  After casting Compressed Frost Bullet, Qin Ruo slowly moved backward, constantly keeping a thirty-meter distance away from the Twin-headed Bee. There was nothing wrong with that—next he cast an ordinary Tier 2 Frost Bullet, which was also normal, but in between his charging time exceeded three seconds!

  A Tier 2 Frost Bullet—common players who performed at their very best just needed two seconds. With Qin Ruo’s Elementalism mastery and his equipment’s trait to reduce charging time, charging consecutively for Frost Bullet should be a piece of cake.

  That did not make any sense!

  On the other side, Qin Ruo paused momentarily and then quickly resumed to aggro another Twin-headed Bee exactly like his previous routine. His second Frost Bullet’s charging time was even longer than Compressed Frost Bullet’s.

  Scarlet Bauhinia’s curiosity was piqued as he instructed Bewitching Priestess to concentrate taking care of Evil Frost Tiger and accompanied Homme Fatale to observe Qin Ruo’s every move for the next few minutes. The episode before him was puzzling for Steel Dude who’s a meathead to comprehend.

  As a matter of fact, the reason Homme Fatale paid extra attention towards Qin Ruo was not only because of Qin Ruo’s manipulation skill and his relationship with Slayer’s Heart.

  To understand the whole reason we would have to start from the beginning. As the thirtieth champion of H&G to advance to Tier 5, leveling was not a concern to Homme Fatale anymore. In fact after he had advanced to the Tier 5, he had not gone leveling deliberately. Whenever he went online, most of his time was spent toward mastering and innovating Electromancy and also increasing his mastery over Tier 5 skills.

  After the pet system had been released, his attention then shifted slightly.

  However, he was different from common players. Even without a pet, only a few were able to challenge him in H&G with his prowess. Thus, he was in no hurry to obtain his own Boss level Pet Egg. Therefore, he spent more time researching Scarlet Bauhinia’s pet.

  Evil Frost Tiger, a Tier 5 Elite Miniboss originally from the arctic Frostsnow Forest. Not only did it have exceptional close combat and long-range capabilities, but it was also adept at both water and dark element magic; it also had great mobility, being able to fly for short distances and could activate Berserk for a short period of time.

  Naturally, the Evil Frost Tiger did not exhibit these attributes at lower levels. Although currently the Evil Frost Tiger’s level had already reached Level 34, its capabilities were just comparable to a Tier 4 Elite monster in his opinion. To reach its full potential and be able to provide considerable reinforcements to Scarlet Bauhinia would at least take more than two months time.

  Even if just to attain half of its full potential would also take half a month (reaching Intermediate Tier 4)……

  These were the predictions made by Homme Fatale after observing these few days. A pet’s abilities manifest at Level 0, a newly hatched Frost Evil Tiger’s attributes was comparable to a Level 15 monster, after advancing each Tier, it will naturally obtain a higher Tier level attack skill and magic. In the short run, pets would not offer much help to elite players, but could provide considerable reinforcements for common players. This should be the measure taken by the game system to control and balance the difference of combat potential between elite players and common players. Because when a player is teamed with a pet, their combat potential would have more unpredictable elements! A true perceptive professional player would not miss this opportunity to have a fighting chance against elite champions!

  However the pet system did not affect Homme Fatale who was one of the top elite champions in the game much.

  Their combat potential could not be chased by common players, except for players with extraordinary talent!

  Coincidentally!

  A player with extraordinary talent was discovered by Homme Fatale. Two days ago, Homme Fatale had noticed Tier 3 Aquamancer Xiaoxiao leveling in Killer Bee Valley alone regularly.

  Although her level was low, an unforeseen circumstance allowed him to notice that this pretty Aquamancer unexpectedly used Tier 1 Elementalism constantly with Tier 1 and Tier 2 attack spells against Killer Bees, which was unusual!

  She had tried Tier 1 Elementalism multiple times to reassemble Tier 2 spells. This kind of mindset which was unexpectedly shown from a low-level newbie, instantly gained Homme Fatale’s attention. This is because most veteran players did not even realize this method.

  On day three, he noticed that Xiaoxiao failed experimenting using low-level Elementalism to reassemble higher tier spells. But after resting for a short while, suddenly she was able to create an attack method with comparable strength to Tier 3 magic. At that moment, he was stunned speechless. He immediately contacted Scarlet Bauhinia and suggested to recruit the Aquamancer who had not even reached Tier 3 into their Bauhinia Clan.

  But surprisingly for him, the absolute newbie Aquamancer hottie was extremely vigilant toward them and she had not heard about the Bauhinia League or Scarlet Bauhinia’s fame. When she rejected the generous invitation from both Tier 5 elite champions instantly, this made the two grown men greatly doubt themselves whether they had lost their charm and charisma. This was because a girl had rejected them cautiously as if they were the big bad wolf.

  Originally they wanted to clarify their intentions to her again today but they did not imagine Xiaoxiao would be following an anonymous Tier 4 Aquamancer guy leveling at Killer Bee Valley.

  Homme Fatale was relieved at first, thinking that he was a veteran player who introduced her to the game guiding her to join them.

  To his dismay, not only did he not come over, but he also did not even bother to give them a glance.

  Even though he found out from Scarlet Bauhinia and Steel Dude that he was close to the previous legendary Field Commander Slayer’s Heart and hearing about some of his news, he could not help but feel vexed, how can there be such an arrogant player in H&G?

  He could not wait to see for himself how capable this Tier 4 Aquamancer was that he can act so cool and ignore two of Bauhinia League’s supreme champions.

  Previously he scoffed when he saw Qin Ruo learning Xiaoxiao’s Compressed Frost Bullet, but as time went by, he noticed that something was amiss.

  Finally, when Xiaoxiao sat down again to meditate he realized……

  Since Qin Ruo began to practice Compressed Frost Bullet, he had not meditated or drank a single MP potion.

  Not to mention for more than half an hour……

  This discovery made Homme Fatale realize that the Aquamancer called Qin Ruo had more hidden potential than the Elementalism he had shown so far.
