The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

first step.

Ghost Brother commanded his summoned army, disguised as monsters from the beast tide, to attack the city defense reconnaissance squad.

"What's going on?! Why are these monsters attacking us?! Who aggroed them?!"

"No! They seem to be heading straight for us!"

"The monsters in the siege battle aren't attacking on their own. Aren't they supposed to avoid fighting professionals? What's wrong?!"

"Has this world's boss gained a new ability?!"

"Scatter! Scatter! Fighting will attract other monsters and wipe us all out!"

Ghost Brother's summoned army scattered the reconnaissance team and drove them far away from the world boss.

The second step.

Destroy aerial photography drones.

Reporters on the front lines watched the drone's live feed and were puzzled to see the reconnaissance team fighting a large group of monsters.

"Why is the reconnaissance team fighting the monsters? They don't seem to be able to win..."

The reporter took out his phone and checked the live stream comments.

"Oh, some netizens said that they may have accidentally triggered the monster-attracting mechanism, and the aftermath of the battle affected more monsters, causing a chain reaction, so they were ganged up on by the monster army."

No problem, we still have drones, which can still keep track of the world boss's movements in real time.

A strange noise could be heard in the drone's live stream.

Like air during an earthquake.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

There's no signal.

As we all know, light travels faster than sound.

So, a few seconds later, a loud bang came from the east.

From afar, a terrifying burst of fire could be seen appearing in mid-air.

Everyone on the front line looked puzzled.

"What's that? A missile from the city defense forces?"

"No, the city defense forces haven't fired any defensive fire. We also have reconnaissance teams over there. Why would they use large-scale firepower?"

"Who was making the move?"

"Someone's trying to steal the world boss!"

The experts from the three major clans quickly realized that something was wrong.

Immediately, they disregarded the large number of monsters that had already begun attacking the front lines, summoned their mounts, and either flew over the monster army or charged straight through the monster tide.

Head straight to the location of the World Boss.

Far away, Brother Pao blew on his smoking hand.

"Ha, using a cannon to kill a mosquito."

The attack that just destroyed the drone was naturally launched by him.

The attack came from the sky, and the drones were all filming the ground, so they couldn't capture what was attacking them.

third step.

Nine thousand have arrived!

The Song hexagram changed positions and arrived at the scene, releasing 90,000.

"Go for it, Jiuwan, it's yours!"

Ninety thousand men stride confidently, their spirit overwhelming mountains and rivers.

"The sky is vast! The wilderness is boundless! I am called Nine Thousand, I am the strongest!"

Jiuwan leaped up, rising thirty centimeters.

"You old bastard, are you just going to stand there and watch? I'm level zero, can't you at least help me get closer to the BOSS?"

Song Gua grabbed him, flew into the air, and caught up with the level 90 world boss, Xie Ling, which was slowly moving ahead.

This huge thing, though described as moving slowly relative to its massive size, is actually moving very fast.

If Song Gua doesn't help Jiu Wan catch up, Jiu Wan's balance power will remain empty.

"Let's begin. There are people coming from the front lines. We need to finish this quickly."

Within the eastern first line of defense in Shangjing City, there were also clones of Song Gua operating in the chaos, providing intelligence.

"Come on, balance!"

A classic scene.

A balance has begun to form between Jiuwan and Xieling.

After balancing, Jiuwan lay on the ground, mimicking the posture of a salamander, sticking out its tongue and moving forward.

Song Gua ignored him and directly borrowed his power, along with a group of clones who had used the Law of Heaven and Earth Card, causing his own combat power to surge and surpass Xie Ling.

In fact, Song Gua only needs to borrow the power of 90,000 to defeat Xie Ling.

Because the power of unity after the second transformation can be leveraged at 150%.

Nine thousand = 50% of the evil tomb.

Song Gua = 50% Xieling * 150%.

They also borrowed other clones and had them use the Heaven and Earth Cards to further enhance their combat power, all in order to fight faster.

Even though this level 90 boss has been balanced by half, its health bar is still terrifyingly long.

World bosses have an additional boost to their health bar (see Thorne's panel in Chapter 112 for details on world boss characteristics).

"Ultimate Move - All-Out Attack!"

Using his Weapon Master talent, Song Gua borrowed a spear and unleashed a legendary single-target skill, aiming it at Xie Ling and throwing the spear.

"Buzz—"

The spear flew out of his hand, growing larger with the wind, becoming as large as a mountain in the blink of an eye. It pierced through the air with immense force and pressed down with unparalleled power!

"roar!!!"

Xie Ling is no pushover either.

Seemingly slow, it reacted quickly after realizing it was being attacked. With a turn of its head, it unleashed a powerful counterattack, its tail carrying heavy mud, vegetation, and boulders.

"boom!!!"

A tremendous energy explosion erupted at the spot where the one-man battled the BOSS.

This is roughly equivalent to two world bosses fighting each other at full strength.

The shockwave was so widespread that even those on the eastern first line of defense felt a gust of wind rushing towards them.

"As expected, someone is trying to steal the world boss!"

"They're incredibly audacious! Experts from all three major clans are here; how dare they do this?"

"These people won't succeed. The experts from the three major clans have already arrived. There's no way any force can be their match!"

"Are there not a single drone left? I'd love to see footage from the scene!"

"Does anyone dare to rush out and do a live stream at the World Boss? I'll give him ten Carnival Coins!"

At this moment, although the world boss had not yet reached the defensive line, a large number of wild monsters and dungeon monsters that had been commanded had already clashed with the city defense forces and professionals.

In front of the defensive tower, the corpses of monsters were piled up like mountains.

The arrays occasionally burst forth with beams of light, annihilating the monsters that stood upon them.

However, there were too many monsters, and the defensive towers, formations, and long-range firepower of the city's defense forces could not completely eliminate them.

Many monsters still charged into the battle lines and engaged the professionals in close combat.

The front line has been completely transformed into a battlefield, with skill effects appearing one after another, and blood staining the plains.

A brave war correspondent stepped forward.

"I want to report! Who can escort me there?"

Nobody paid any attention to her.

Everyone is busy right now.

The reporter was somewhat embarrassed.

Just as he was about to give up, Yue Sheng appeared in front of him.

As the captain of the law enforcement department, he naturally had to participate in the World Boss Siege War.

"I can arrange for two teams to protect you, but the journey is fraught with danger. Think it over."

Reporters are working tirelessly for firsthand news and for promotions and raises!

"It's alright. Restoring the truth is my professional belief!"

Yue Sheng nodded and called over two law enforcement teams, instructing them to escort the reporters and photographers to break out from the direction with fewer monsters.

This was not actually Yue Sheng's own decision.

The official team also wants to know who is vying for the world boss.

Such disruption of their defenses could lead to unforeseen consequences, and the responsible party would need to be held accountable.
