Chapter 114 Time Stop Upgrade
K of clubs?

Yang Xu frowned. He naturally knew the King of Clubs, the Lord of Qingyang City's North District and one of the six max-level masters.

But he had only heard of the name and had not been familiar with the image of the King of Clubs, so he was confused for a moment and did not understand why it was mistaken for the King of Clubs.

In short, this was a point that could be exploited! He had been ready to abandon the base, but suddenly, there was a turning point.

Yang Xu's mind raced, but he sneered as he spoke, "At least you're not completely blind."

This was an indirect acknowledgement that he was the King of Clubs. Although we still didn't know who this King of Clubs was, we were just going to use his tiger skin to try it out.

On the opposite side, Leng Sha was already trembling like a sieve, and when he heard this, his heart sank even more.

Is it really the King of Clubs?!
No wonder the opponent was able to knock him away so easily just now; no wonder the opponent was not afraid of him and dared to tell him to get out; no wonder he dared not to build a border wall... If it was the King of Clubs, all of this could be explained.

Thinking of the rumored deeds and behavior of the King of Clubs, Leng Sha wanted to slap himself twice.

It was also his fault for blindly following experience, believing that anyone who saw a small territory was a novice. Now, he had just arrived in the North District and had offended the North District Lord...

But then again, how could a character like the King of Clubs have such a shabby territory?

Not only does this territory have only a few buildings at first glance, there isn't even a Mirror Ghost guarding the base... Could it be a branch base that was recently built?
Leng Sha didn't have time to think too much. No matter what, offending the King of Clubs was a fact. Instead of regretting it, the most important thing was to find a way to leave quickly.

"Boss, I'm so sorry! I didn't know this was your territory. The previous declaration of war was a misunderstanding. I'll go back and cancel it right away!"

After Leng Sha finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up and wanted to retreat.

"stop."

A slightly commanding voice sounded: "Do you think this is a vegetable market? You can come and go as you please."

Yang Xu naturally hoped that the other party would leave, but he also knew that the other party was afraid of the name of Club K, not him. Now that the tiger skin has been pulled up, he must play it to the end. If he really lets the other party leave so easily at this time, he will be exposed.

Leng Sha paused, sweat starting to form on his forehead. It turned out that it wasn't that easy to let him go!

Although he has an altar, even if he is killed in a rage by the other party, there is still a chance of resurrection, but the problem is that the altar is right next door...

If the King of Clubs really wanted him dead, he only had to kill him, then turn around and declare war on his territory, and kill him again before he escaped. Then he would be really dead. He believed that the King of Clubs definitely had the ability to do so.

Moreover, even if he is extremely lucky and can escape before Plum Blossom K attacks again after resurrection, he will inevitably be hunted down by Plum Blossom K in the future. The ending is that either he leaves Qingyang City or he completely gives up this skin.

The price was too high, and besides, he didn't dare to gamble.

The only way at this time is to spend money to avoid disaster, pay some benefits, and calm the other party's anger.

Moreover, the value of what you pay cannot be low. After all, the opponent has the K of clubs. If you take out ordinary props, people will think you are treating beggars well, which will only have the opposite effect.

Leng Sha's eyes turned, and he quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind. Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out a wooden box from his storage ring.

He endured the huge pain and handed it over.

"Boss K of Clubs, I was blinded by my own faults today and offended you! This Origin Crystal is something I found by chance, and it's the most precious thing I own. I hope you can forgive me this time!"

"?"

Yang Xu was originally thinking about how to end this matter.

From the perspective of a ten-star master, if a six-star thief suddenly declares war and breaks into his territory to rob arrogantly, the most satisfying thing would be to slap him to death.

But he couldn't really do it, because he would be exposed immediately if he started fighting.

Then the only option is to ask the other party to pay compensation, but the amount of compensation must be well controlled. If the compensation is too little, letting the other party go too easily may easily arouse suspicion, but if it is too much, there is a fear that the other party may not be able to pay.

Yang Xu was just racking his brains over what to order, but this man offered compensation on his own initiative, and the things he took out made Yang Xu almost doubt his ears.

Root crystal?

Yang Xu was stunned, and hurriedly took the wooden box and opened it.

Sure enough, in the wooden box was a familiar irregular crystal with fine liquid impurities flowing inside.

[Root Crystal: After the root person absorbs it, it can cause his own root to evolve.]

It’s really the root crystal!

Yang Xu was stunned. He had never expected that something he hadn't been able to obtain at the Grayscale Conference could actually be knocked out of the hands of this intruder!

Leng Sha saw the black-robed man take the treasure but hesitate to speak. He felt a little uneasy. Could it be that even a single Origin Crystal couldn't satisfy him? What exactly did he want? Leng Sha was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to rush him. He could only wait silently for the judgment.

After being silent for over ten seconds, Yang Xu finally spoke: "You were definitely going to die today! But you're smart. The Origin Crystal is indeed what I need..."

Yang Xu put the wooden box into his sleeve and said coldly, "I'll take the things. For the sake of the treasure, I will pretend that I didn't see what happened today. Go away."

"Yes, yes, thank you for sparing my life!" Leng Sha was overjoyed and didn't dare to stay any longer. After carefully taking a few steps back, he turned around and ran away. He ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared at the border of the territory in the blink of an eye.

Yang Xu watched the other party run away until he disappeared, and then he relaxed.

He hurriedly took out the box again, took out the crystal, and tried to absorb it.

Absorbing the root crystal is very simple. Just place the crystal in the palm of your hand. You don’t need to do anything and the root card will automatically absorb the energy.

Although this crystal is small, the energy contained in it is extremely powerful.

Yang Xu felt a strange energy surge into his body, accelerating faster and faster. In just a dozen seconds, he felt like he was about to burst. Fortunately, the Stopper Card had a big appetite and absorbed all the strange energy.

Half a minute later, the changes in the body gradually subsided and Yang Xu opened his eyes.

At this moment on the panel, the description of the Stopper Card has changed.

[Time Master (LV2): You possess the ability to control time. When you experience strong emotional fluctuations, time will automatically pause. After 6 seconds or if you move 10 meters away from your initial position, the time pause will automatically be released. The cooldown period is 25 seconds.]

Time stop upgraded!
Yang Xu took a careful look at the data. The duration of the level 2 time stop was 6 seconds, only one second longer, which was not a big improvement, but the movement range doubled directly from 5 meters to 10 meters!
With a radius of ten meters, the activity space is much more spacious. Many things that were originally difficult to do within a five-meter radius can now be done easily.

In addition, the cooldown time has also been reduced by 5 seconds, which is also a very important indicator that directly determines the usage rate of time stop in combat.

25 seconds and 30 seconds aren't that different, but the cooldown has been reduced by 1 seconds after just one level. What's next? If the reduction continues at this rate with each subsequent level, then by level 5, the cooldown will be just 1 seconds, and by level 10, it's completely gone!

Of course, it is unlikely that the cooling time will stop at 0. It is estimated that there will be an upper limit. At a certain level, the cooling time will be fixed and cannot be reduced any further.

No matter what, today can be considered a blessing in disguise. Originally, the territory was invaded, but in the end, a root crystal was obtained, which upgraded the Stopper Card in all aspects. Yang Xu's mood also turned from gloomy to cheerful.

"Drip drip..."

The panel prompt sounded and Yang Xu opened it to take a look.

It was the Bloody Dark, who asked him if he had finished his work and urged him to go out and kill monsters.

Xiao An arrived at the right time, and Yang Xu hurriedly asked for information about the K of Clubs.

"King of Clubs?"

Bloody Dark was a little strange, but he didn't hide it and roughly explained the information he knew about the King of Clubs.

As the lord of the North District and one of the strongest people in the entire Qingyang City, the Bloody Dark has of course paid attention to K. Two years ago, when he was at his peak, he even imagined that he must find an opportunity to challenge K in the future, strive to defeat him, and snatch the title of King of Plum Blossoms.

After listening to Xiao An's explanation, Yang Xu finally understood why that person mistook him for the King of Clubs. Black robe, talking parrot, he had unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, matched the image of the King of Clubs.

Of course, there were some differences in the details, for example, the King of Clubs never spoke, and all the words were spoken by the Parrot. Yang Xu didn't know this, and had been talking all along.

Fortunately, the man was facing a life-and-death threat at the time and had no time to pay attention to such details.

"Why are you suddenly asking about the King of Clubs?" asked Bloody Dark curiously.

Yang Xu did not hide anything and briefly recounted his experience.

"Is there such a thing?" Bloody Dark was also shocked after hearing this: "What's that person's name?"

"Cold kill." Yang Xu said.

"Cold killing..."

Bloody Darkness thought about it, but couldn't find the ID in his memory. Logically, there weren't many 6-star players in Qingyang City, so if it was someone from Qingyang City, he should have some impression of it. Of course, it's also possible that the other party had changed their ID.

"How strong is this person?" Xiao An asked.

“I can’t tell yet.”

Yang Xu only used time-stopping to give his opponent a kick the entire time. There was no direct confrontation, so it was impossible to judge his strength. However, since he was able to upgrade to 6 stars, his strength must be not too bad.

"Six-star ones are indeed difficult to deal with for now..."

Xiao An pondered for a few seconds, frowning. At his and Yang Xu's current levels, even if they teamed up and launched a sneak attack, it would be nearly impossible to kill a six-star.

A more troublesome problem is resurrection.

Administrators above four stars can open sub-bases. According to Yang Xu, this person had just moved in next door, so who knows where his old main base is. If he rashly kills him, he might resurrect and return to the main base, hiding and waiting for revenge, which would turn into an unfavorable situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light.

So even if you want to take action, you must first determine the location of the opponent's altar and eliminate the entire problem at once!
The two discussed it, but ultimately couldn't come up with a good solution.

The only way seems to be to upgrade their level as quickly as possible. As long as their own strength is improved, such people will naturally no longer be a threat.
