Chương 65: Chapter 65: Shura's Secret, Sweet Bunny
[🎉 Shoutout to N3bul0u5, John Doe, Sabre for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]
"Shura!"
The sudden call from behind sent a shiver down Zhang Yue's spine.
He turned around to see a petite priestess girl in a light pink robe, standing no more than 1.6 meters tall. Her frail appearance gave off a gentle, almost delicate vibe.
"Do you even know the significance of the name 'Shura'?" Zhang Yue's gaze was calm as he locked eyes with the girl whose ID read Sweet Bunny. "Shura is the God of War in the Dragon Kingdom. To carelessly label someone as 'Shura' is to blaspheme the divine."
With that, Zhang Yue turned to leave.
But just as he took a step, Sweet Bunny's voice rang out again. "You are the god. You are Shura."
Once more, Zhang Yue felt a jolt inside.
He spun around and stepped closer to Sweet Bunny, his eyes now burning with intensity. "Was it you who sent the letter?"
Having never felt such pressure from a single person before, Sweet Bunny instinctively took two steps back, fear flashing in her eyes.
"Shura died a hundred years ago. Don't you know that?" Zhang Yue couldn't tell if she was genuinely trying to probe or if she really knew the truth about him.
But Sweet Bunny gathered her courage and said, "No, he didn't. He's here. He is you."
Zhang Yue's gaze sharpened. "Who told you that?"
"I... I'll tell you if you help me with something."
"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Yue's eyes glinted with a hint of killing intent.
Sweet Bunny took another step back, visibly terrified by Zhang Yue's expression. She didn't dare to speak.
Zhang Yue saw through her.
She didn't know the truth. She was just fishing for information.
'There is no need to waste more time here.'
Without another word, he turned to leave.
But Sweet Bunny shouted after him, "If you don't help me, I'll tell everyone that you're Shura."
"Go ahead," Zhang Yue said without looking back. "I'm not Shura anyway."
"If you're not, then why did you react so strongly just now?" Sweet Bunny pressed on. "And when I called out 'Shura' earlier, you turned around immediately."
"If you weren't Shura, how would you know I was calling for you?"
Zhang Yue froze in his tracks.
In the next moment, Sweet Bunny rushed over to him. Her large, bright eyes, as clear as gemstones, stared directly into his. "Don't worry. If you help me, I swear I'll never tell anyone. I promise."
"What do you want?"
"I need you to take me through the Professional Tournament. Just help me pass the City-level qualifiers."
Zhang Yue chuckled lightly. "So, it's all about money, huh?"
"Not... not entirely," Sweet Bunny stammered. "I want to prove myself."
Zhang Yue glanced at her level and said, "Come find me when you reach level 30 and can register for the tournament."
"So you'll help me?" Sweet Bunny beamed with excitement and added, "Can I add you on Feixin?"
"Do as you like."
"I'll message you when I hit level 30 then."
"Do as you like."
Zhang Yue walked away without looking back.
Before long, a notification popped up: Sweet Bunny had sent him a friend request on Feixin.
On her end, Sweet Bunny was anxiously watching the screen. The moment Zhang Yue accepted her request, her joy was so overwhelming that she could hardly contain herself.
Meanwhile, not too far behind, Liu Yao watched the whole scene unfold with a dejected expression. "No way... the girl I had my eye on is actually a fan of my big brother?"
He sighed, then perked up with a grin. "Well, Cute Cutie is not bad either. Guess I'll go after her instead."
"Heh, Cutie, here I come."
———
Elsewhere.
After returning to the safe zone at Holy Light Cemetery, Zhang Yue opened the portal to the alternate worlds, transitioning from the Third World back to the Fourth World.
With his mission to kill 120 Dark Dragons in hand, he set off for the level 31 Dark Mountains north of the Light Hall.
On the way, Zhang Yue opened Feixin and scrolled through Sweet Bunny's profile, only to find that her timeline was set to "visible for the last three days only."
"Could she be the one who sent the letter?" Zhang Yue mused. After all, yesterday morning's letter did mention the Professional Tournament.
'Whatever. I'll deal with it when the time comes.'
'A City-level tournament? I could win that with my eyes closed.'
Soon enough, Zhang Yue arrived at the Dark Mountains.
With his trusty Dark Skeleton King and Skeleton Warriors at his side, he resumed his onslaught against the Dark Dragons.
It took him just over an hour to wipe out all 120 Dark Dragons.
Just as Zhang Yue was about to head back to submit his mission, a disturbance in the sky caught his attention.
He turned around to see a massive group of Light Clan Fire Dragons soaring toward the Dark Mountains.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in his ear:
[Ding~ Attention: You have triggered a hidden event in this map. Congratulations! You now have the option to upgrade your completed quest [Boosting Morale 2] to the rare hidden quest [Crush the Darkness]. Do you accept?]
'Well, well, luck really is on my side today.'
How could he refuse?
[Ding~ Congratulations! You have received the hidden quest Crush the Darkness. The difficulty has increased, and the rewards have been upgraded.]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
'A difficulty rating of 550?'
'That is even higher than the hidden quest to hunt down the Golden Skeleton King.'
But Zhang Yue was unfazed.
When he opened the map, he saw that the ancient ruins mentioned in the quest were only a level 32 zone.
"A level 32 zone with such a high difficulty rating?"
Before Zhang Yue could ponder any further, the Light Clan's dragons had already flown past the Dark Mountains, heading straight for the ancient ruins.
Without delay, Zhang Yue left the Dark Mountains and set off toward the ruins.
Soon.
When Zhang Yue arrived at the level 32 ancient ruins, the Light and Dark Clans' dragons were already locked in a fierce aerial battle.
Flames spewed from both sides as the dragons clashed.
Roars echoed across the battlefield.
Every so often, a dragon from either the Light or Dark Clan would fall from the sky, killed in action.
Without hesitation, Zhang Yue jumped into the fray.
Siding with the Light Clan, he unleashed attacks on the Black Dragons in the air.
The level 32 Dark Battle Dragons were stronger than the ones from the Dark Mountains.
But for Zhang Yue, they posed no real threat.
He commanded the Dark Skeleton King and Skeleton Warriors to clean up the battlefield, finishing off the injured Black Dragons that had fallen from the sky.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue acted as a magic cannon, bombarding any Black Dragons within his range with relentless magical firepower.
Teaming up with dozens of Light Clan dragons, Zhang Yue quickly eliminated all the Black Battle Dragons in the ancient ruins.
As the battle died down, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a bit perplexed. "That 550 difficulty rating for the hidden quest... is it really this easy?"
Just as the words left his mouth—
ROAR—
A deafening roar shook the skies.
Three massive Black Dragons, far larger than the others, appeared from different directions, flying toward Zhang Yue.
With a single breath of their fiery dragon breath, they wiped out dozens of Light Clan dragons in the air.
Then, with a thunderous crash, the three towering Black Dragons landed around Zhang Yue, encircling him.
When Zhang Yue saw the IDs hovering over their heads, he had to admit, 'maybe I spoke a bit too soon...'
Each dragon bore the same title:
[Dark Battle Dragon Leader (Level 35, Physical, Elite Boss]
