1219!

The moment the damage value popped up from Fu An’s body.

Everyone present, including the level 28 Xu Fenghua, was stunned. 

“What… What is this!?”

Noticing that he had lost nearly half of his health bar, Fu An’s pupils instantly dilated!

Half of his health bar!

This sh*tty brat managed to reduce half of my health bar!

How is that possible?!

He’s level 15!

There’s no mistaking it, he’s definitely level 15!

At this moment, Fu An’s mind raced with with various unbelievable thoughts.

Sure, Fu An’s stats might have leaned towards having high Attack but low Defense, in the end, Su Chen was only level 15!

Despite using a starter skill, Su Chen had managed to destroy half of Fu An’s health bar!

After all, despite all the stat points he had allocated to his Attack, Fu An’s skill damage had only managed to reach about 700 points!

“Zeng Jiang!”

Fu An shouted frantically as an indication for Zeng Jiang to change tactics!

“Okay!”

Upon hearing his party member’s shout, 

Zeng Jiang understood and immediately activated his [ Shield Tremor ] skill, allowing to inflict 200+ damage to Xue Feng whilst shaking him off at the same time!

He hurriedly made his way to Fu An’s position and readied himself to bear his ally’s brunt of the damage!

He did not expect the level 15 brat to be able to inflict such massive damage!

The strongest person in his opponent’s party was not the level 21 Heavy Swordsman Xue Feng, nor the level 18 Crossbowman Mu Lin, it was the level 15 brat!

When the three of them arrived at the scene, it was just moments before Xue Feng and the rest of his party would take down the level 25 Boss.

It was for this reason that they had targeted the Boss first before the players. Otherwise, they would have gone the safer route and killed Xue Feng’s party while they were fighting against the Boss.

Due to this, however, they were unable to determine who was the actual damage dealer in Xue Feng’s party.

Zeng Jiang assumed that it was the level 18 [ Crossbowman ], Mu Lin, but it was in fact, the level 15 Mage!

His full set of green rank equipment had given him a massive power spike. By normal standards, even a level 20 Mage would find it difficult to inflict such a huge amount of damage!

“Something’s not right, Jiang.”

“That Mage’s damage is even higher than mine!”

The moment the two of them regrouped, Fu An whispered to Zeng Jiang while staring at Su Chen in the distance.

“I didn’t expect it either. Besides, isn’t [ Fireball ] the starter skill of Fire Mages?”

“What’s going on with this kid?”

Although Zeng Jiang was now taking the battle a little more seriously, 

He was still considered to be quite lax with the situation, all things considered. After all, they had Xu Fenghua, a level 28 [ Bowman ] standing behind them.

The only reason why Xu Fenghua was not making a move was because Zeng Jiang and Fu An were practicing their coordination in a 2-man cell. Xu Fennghua’s job was to merely serve as a trump card should any trouble arise.

“Did you see his equipment?”

“Although I don’t know when that anonymous kid reached level 15, but ever since he swapped out his old equipment for four new pieces of level 15 equipment, he received a massive power spike.”

“Plus, I have a feeling that this kid is putting all his skill points into his starter skill Otherwise, he would’ve followed up his [ Fireball ] with the other Mage skills. He probably didn’t invest too much skill points into them, thus, they aren’t really cost-effective, mana-wise.”

Fu An theorized the reason behind his opponent’s high damage.

“Another troublesome thing is that since starter skills will automatically lock onto their targets, you need to personally intercept the attack for me later.”

“There’s nothing I can do against it with my [ Roll ] skill.”

Zeng Jiang quickly nodded, “Leave it to me.”

Zeng Jiang was the leader and the core member of the three-man party. With Fu An and Xu Fenghua being responsible for dealing damage, Zeng Jiang’s job was to tank any attacks coming their way!

“It’s coming!”

The two of them had just finished communicating when they suddenly spotted blue flames hurtling towards them!

Zeng Jiang shouted, “I’ll handle this!”
