"Qin Yi, let it go! Let's leave."

Ke Jue obviously didn't want to compete with Ke Yue. Her goal was to break into the top ten, not to settle scores with Ke Yue on the battlefield.

Although she indeed had deep-seated grudges with the Ke Family, these issues couldn't be resolved now.

"It's fine! I don't believe he dares to compete with me!" Qin Yi sneered confidently.

Others didn't know his background, but could Ke Yue be unaware?

In Qin Yi's view, Ke Yue was just a rich family's young brat, nowhere near as prestigious as the Qin Family.

Moreover, the composition of Ke Yue's team was clearly not advantageous.

In this situation, Qin Yi saw no reason to retreat.

This Earth Dragon was worth a whole ten thousand points. If he claimed it, he could directly leap to the first place on the leaderboard!

Enough to crush that rustic Healer hard!

So, he had to take down this Earth Dragon.

"Qin Yi, I can share with you, but there's no way I'm letting you have this Earth Dragon all to yourself!" Ke Yue's face was grim.

Clearly, they were the ones who discovered this Earth Dragon first, yet Qin Yi's group suddenly appeared, turning it into this current mess.

In fact, Ke Yue wasn't unaware of Qin Yi's identity...

One of the behind-the-scenes controllers of the Twelve Disciples' Family and even the Archbishop of the Southern Church Court was from the Qin Family, Qin Yi's biological grandfather.

If he offended Qin Yi, it would be tough to find high-level Holy Light Professionals to assist him in the future.

For a Professional aiming to continuously improve, this was deadly serious.

So normally, even if he felt stifled, he would have to swallow his pride for the sake of his future.

But now, he was unwilling to back down at all...

Because beside Qin Yi, there was also Ke Jue!

He could respect Qin Yi, but absolutely not in front of this illegitimate daughter!

"Share with me? Are you worthy?" Qin Yi showed disdain.

Ke Yue's face turned livid.

Honestly, he wasn't dead set on fighting for this victory, especially since, without Healing, claiming this Boss Level was a costly endeavor.

If things went wrong, after all the hard work, someone else might reap the benefits.

So even if Qin Yi's group hadn't joined the fray, he might have chosen to give up.

However, now he felt uneasy whether he stayed or left, extremely uncomfortable.

"Forget it, if you won't leave, I will!"

Ke Jue turned to leave first.

Continuing to waste time here wasn't as fruitful as killing more monsters to gain more points.

"Hey! Ke Jue, don't go!" Qin Yi called out, trying to stop Ke Jue.

But at that moment, a thundering roar came from afar, causing the ground beneath them to tremble.

Everyone turned to look, their faces filled with astonishment.

They saw that the Rock Armor Earth Dragon, previously wandering in the distance, inexplicably charged towards them.

A Boss Level worth ten thousand points wasn't comparable to a small Boss with a mere thousand points.

Though they certainly had the ability to kill it...

But who could withstand such a massive Boss's charge unprepared?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Rock Armor Earth Dragon charged, causing an earthquake-like commotion.

"Retreat!"

Ke Yue's face turned pale; they had no choice but to retreat.

Yet, there was relief in his heart...

At least, this senseless standoff was over.

"Tch!"

Qin Yi sneered as he watched Ke Yue leave.

"Ke Jue, that guy ran off! Help me take down this Earth Dragon!" Qin Yi clutched his warhammer, feeling a surge of excitement.

As long as he snagged those ten thousand points, he could surpass Lin Ye in the ranking!

Ke Jue paused in her steps...

Seeing Qin Yi in such high spirits, he definitely wouldn't leave without taking down this Earth Dragon.

With her strength, without Qin Yi's assistance, aiming for top ten battlefield ranking was nearly impossible...

With this in mind, she sighed and turned to assist Qin Yi in killing the Earth Dragon.

Yet she felt something odd...

Why did this Earth Dragon, seemingly fine earlier, suddenly charge in their direction?

But who could say?

It might have spotted the humans there while wandering.

Not entirely impossible.

No one noticed a palm-sized little mouse, crushed underfoot by the Earth Dragon.

At that moment, it was less than a hundred meters from Qin Yi's team, who had assumed a combat stance!

They were clearly within the Earth Dragon's aggro range.

"Roar!"

The Earth Dragon, with bloodshot eyes, charged once more!

"Warrior, hold it off! I'll heal you!"

Qin Yi shouted, instructing the accompanying Warrior to tank the Earth Dragon.

"Alright!"

The Warrior fearlessly stepped forward.

As the tank, holding off the Boss was his duty, not to mention Qin Yi had equipped him with a full tank set!

With Healing support, holding off the Earth Dragon was doable.

The battle commenced.

Despite Qin Yi's flawed personality, his battlefield command skills were quite decent.

Albeit his Healing Technique application was somewhat awkward...

It was evident that with equipment support, his healing output was indeed higher than the average Healer, but Qin Yi's judgment of healing timing was quite poor.

The Paladin was fundamentally more of a Warrior class, so high expectations couldn't be set for his healing ability.

Even so, with excellent equipment and above-average strength, they could kill this Earth Dragon, albeit slowly.

Especially with Ke Jue's tremendously powerful output at the back!

Her damage alone contributed more than ninety percent of the team's output.

Without her, they likely couldn't defeat this Earth Dragon.

Yet, unbeknownst to them, someone was watching everything from the shadows.

"Their strength exceeded expectations... luckily, I have a backup plan!"

"It should be arriving soon..."

Lin Ye certainly wouldn't let them kill the Earth Dragon just like that.

A little more chaos, and Qin Yi's team would be in over their heads...

Several minutes later, as Qin Yi's team was intensely battling with the Rock Armor Earth Dragon.

An unexpected green liquid suddenly splashed onto Qin Yi...

The high damage from a toxic liquid startled him!

"Someone's attacking!" he turned, his face contorting dramatically!

But what he saw wasn't a person?

It was a massive black Two-tailed Scorpion!

"Another one..." Qin Yi was inwardly shocked.

Dealing with one Earth Dragon was manageable for them.

But now with an added mini Boss Level Two-tailed Scorpion, it was beyond their capabilities!

"Retreat! Stop fighting!"

Qin Yi felt his scalp tingle, this wasn't worth the effort!
