In that split second, just as death was about to claim him, a white Holy Light suddenly descended upon Huang Yi, instantly restoring a great deal of his Health Points!
The next moment, the eleventh second arrived, Bleeding State took effect, deducting a hundred Health Points from Huang Yi!
The Health Points that had been restored to Huang Yi decreased slightly, and then stabilized. He didn’t move an inch!
This life had actually been snatched back at the final moment!
That Holy Light just now was clearly a Healing Class Skill, indicating that there were players nearby assisting him!
Huang Yi turned his head to search around and quickly noticed a woman in leather armor standing behind him, who was watching him with a smile at this moment.
The woman wasn’t particularly beautiful, but she had a pleasant appearance, black hair, a pair of purple eyes, and a long sword on her back. She looked heroic and neat.
"Thank you for saving my life!" Huang Yi nodded to her, expressing his gratitude. If it weren’t for her timely healing, Huang Yi would have undoubtedly perished. If luck was against him and he reincarnated on another continent, everything would be irretrievable.
"It was nothing!" The woman shook her head with a smile, not taking it seriously. Then, she stepped forward, heading for the city gate, seemingly about to leave the city.
"May I ask your name?" Huang Yi suddenly called out to her. This woman had saved his life, and he had to remember her name. If there was a chance in the future, he would repay her a thousandfold. He was clear about his debts of gratitude and vengeance; he would repay a favor a thousandfold just as he would avenge a wrong.
"My name is Biyue Qingkong." The woman replied with a slight smile, and then she walked out of the gate and soon disappeared into the night.
From her appearance to her departure, it was only a matter of seconds. It was as if she had never been there, but Huang Yi firmly remembered her name.
At this time, outside the city gates, all was quiet. Man Lie had been chased by the guards to who knows where, completely disappearing from view, leaving only bloodstains to attest to the fierce battle that had taken place.
"Damn it! He actually escaped!" Just then, an irate voice came from afar, followed by a squad of guards returning at a quick pace from the darkness; it seemed they had just been chasing Man Lie.
"Even if he ran, he’s not in good shape. With such severe injuries, he won’t recover without a year or two of recuperation," another guard said, shaking his head.
"Hmph! He might swagger around in those small villages outside, but coming to our Thornbush City to strut? He’s just courting death! We are elites personally trained by the Lord of the City with great effort! How can he, a mongrel from the mountains, possibly compare to us!" said a guard arrogantly, not taking Man Lie seriously at all.
These guards truly did not disappoint Huang Yi. Not only did they block Man Lie’s attack, but they also inflicted severe injuries on him. The Guard Soldiers of this large city were indeed mighty; Man Lie, as a chieftain, couldn’t swagger around here.
Huang Yi felt at ease and turned to enter this bustling city.
The last time he came to a town was on the night he was born, when his mother cat was still a pet of a wealthy family. However, for the sake of Huang Yi, she had given up a life of luxury and roamed to the forest.
All of this felt like a lifetime ago.
Huang Yi’s first destination was naturally the Warrior Hall to find a Skill Trainer and learn his Class Skills.
Thornbush City was vast, and wandering aimlessly might mean walking around for an entire day without finding the intended destination. Huang Yi asked many people along the way and, after searching for over an hour, finally arrived in front of a five-story huge building.
The interior of the building was resplendent and brightly lit, and outside was a square that stretched over a hundred meters wide. Hundreds of players were entering and exiting, making the place very lively.
Huang Yi mingled in the crowd and didn’t stand out, entering the Warrior Hall just like the most ordinary of players.
The first floor was for the learning area of Common Class Skills, with a total of one hundred rooms, each room bearing a sign for one of The Second World’s hundred Common Classes, and 90% of players were on this level.
Huang Yi went straight to the staircase and headed for the second floor. The second floor was the area for learning Class Ultimate Moves. Every Common Class could learn an Ultimate Move every 15 levels, and the players on this level, about 10% of them, had faces full of eager smiles, clearly indicating that the Ultimate Moves were very powerful, and they couldn’t wait to learn them.
After reaching the second floor, Huang Yi continued upward, heading toward the 3rd Stage.
"Huh? Look, that person is going to the 3rd Stage, has he undergone a Job Change?" Some sharp-eyed players in the second floor immediately noticed Huang Yi’s actions.
"You’re thinking too much, he’s probably just going up there to check out the skills and whet his appetite. Although he can’t learn them now, understanding and looking at them isn’t bad," some players quickly shook their heads, seemingly unconcerned.
The 3rd Stage was the Job Change Skill learning area, where the Skill Mentors taught skills for after Job Changes. Just recently, Dao Feng had become the first person in the whole world to undergo a Job Change, and currently, there were fewer than 100 people in the entire The Second World who could undergo a Job Change. There hadn’t been a single person in Thornbush City who had undergone a Job Change, so this floor was devoid of visitors. The Skill Mentors here were idle and dozing off, and no one noticed Huang Yi’s arrival.
Huang Yi did not stop and continued upwards to the Fourth Layer. This layer was the High-level Class Skill learning area, with some expensive virtual equipment that allowed users to acquire High-level Classes, for instance, the Golden Ring Huang Yi had was the highest class of virtual equipment, giving direct access to an Advanced Race and an Advanced Class. Such virtual equipment was incredibly pricey, and very few had the means to own it. Consequently, this layer was also deserted, with only a few Skill Teachers dressed in fine clothes which reflected their prestigious status, far superior to the ordinary Skill Mentors from the first floor. They were all looking down at their books, paying no attention to Huang Yi’s arrival.
Huang Yi went up again, reaching the highest level of the Warrior Hall, the fifth layer—the Rare Class Skills learning area!
In the whole world, there were only just over five thousand people qualified to enter this level to learn skills! If Huang Yi hadn’t come here, Thornbush City might never have had anyone step foot here to learn a skill.
This layer had always been dark because no one had ever come up, almost forgotten by people.
Huang Yi looked around in the pitch black, searching for the silhouette of a Skill Mentor, but all he saw was emptiness, without a single person in sight.
"Is anyone here?" Huang Yi called out around him, his voice even echoed, sounding very lonely.
"Ahem! Who’s there? You must be lost?" Soon, from a dark room in a far corner, an elderly voice sounded.
