14 dungeon first kills!
Page 1/3 -60 -60 Tang Xuan and the Third Boss of Blackwind Stronghold clashed with their twin blades, trading heavy blows, each losing 60 health points.
This showed that their attributes were nearly matched!
As a level 10 player, Tang Xuan possessed 100 base points each in attack, defense, and speed, while his mastery-level internal skill granted an additional 120 points to these attributes.
His three core stats thus totaled 220!
His green-quality Tiger Fang Blade added 35 points to his attack.
The perfected, though incomplete, Five Tigers Severing Blade Technique boosted his attack by a staggering 180%!
That brought his attack up to 714!
His mastery-level basic lightness skill instantly increased his speed by 120%!
That made his speed 484!
Meanwhile, the Third Boss of Blackwind Stronghold was a level 20 boss, with base stats of 200 in attack, defense, and speed.
His own internal skill likely brought him well over 100 additional attribute points, making his core stats over 300!
In every respect, his attributes surpassed Tang Xuan’s by a wide margin—a clear advantage of level.
The Third Boss also wielded a Tiger Fang Blade with +35 attack.
The reason Tang Xuan could stand toe-to-toe with this boss was entirely due to his skills being at the mastery level!
Though the boss’s blade technique and lightness skill were not weak, their attack and speed boosts were clearly inferior to Tang Xuan’s 180% and 120%.
In summary, the boss’s strength lay in his higher level and attributes.
Tang Xuan’s advantage lay in his skill levels—mastery at level 10, giving him superior bonuses!
The two of them fought fiercely, their Tiger Fang Blades clashing in a flurry of blade shadows.

Red damage numbers floated above their heads.
It was a clash of dragons and tigers, with no clear victor for the moment!
While dueling the boss, Tang Xuan was already searching for an opening.

Now’s the moment!
His eyes narrowed. He executed his mastery-level basic lightness skill, leaping back, and in an instant unequipped his Tiger Fang Blade and retrieved several flying needles from his game inventory.
The Thirteen Plum Blossom Needles!
Tang Xuan raised both hands, and with a surge of internal energy, the needles shot out with a swift whoosh.
The Third Boss of Blackwind Stronghold, this level 20 boss, boasted a health pool far exceeding that of ordinary level 20 monsters.
As a level 10 player, Tang Xuan had only 1,000 health points.
If he kept going blow for blow, he’d soon fall to this boss.
Final bosses in such dungeons were usually tackled by teams working together.
Tang Xuan dared to face the boss alone because he had a hidden ace: his mastery-level skill, the Thirteen Plum Blossom Needles!
Thirteen needles flew out almost simultaneously from Tang Xuan's hands.
Six needles streaked straight at the boss's vital points—the forehead, eyes, and nose.
The boss was shocked; he hadn’t expected this young upstart to wield such deadly hidden weapons. In a panic, he swept his blade in an arc, knocking aside the needles aimed at his eyes and nose.
Given the power of these needles, if even one had struck his vital points, death would have been imminent!
At the same time,
The remaining seven needles of the Thirteen Plum Blossom Needles targeted the lower body.
Virtually as he defended his upper body, his legs were struck by hidden weapons.
-320
-331
-328
In an instant, a series of bright red numbers floated above the boss's head.
Seven needles struck true!
With the needles equipped, Tang Xuan’s attack stat rose to 225; when he unleashed the Thirteen Plum Blossom Needles, it soared to 630!
The boss’s defense was over 300, but each needle still dealt more than 300 damage.
In a single volley, the boss suffered two to three thousand damage!
Moreover, the seven needles embedded in his legs drastically impaired his mobility, reducing both his speed and lightness skill attributes.
Tang Xuan swiftly re-equipped his Tiger Fang Blade from his inventory and lunged forward.
With a speed stat of 220, even without activating his lightness skill, he now far outpaced the boss, whose legs had been crippled.

In truth, Tang Xuan had already expended several dozen points of internal energy in his initial exchange with the boss, and the Thirteen Plum Blossom Needles had consumed a further 65 points—now his reserves were running low.
Fortunately, the Third Boss of Blackwind Stronghold was nearly immobile. All he could do was defend passively against Tang Xuan’s relentless assault.
Tang Xuan circled around him, whittling down the boss’s health while he was unable to move.
At last,
He wore the boss down to death through sheer attrition!
By the end of the battle, Tang Xuan was breathing heavily, thoroughly spent, his internal power and stamina both severely depleted.
Though the fight hadn’t been particularly dangerous, it was only because he had meticulously calculated and executed his ambush with hidden weapons.
Had the boss dodged the needles, Tang Xuan would have had no choice but to retreat and try again another time.
After the boss fell,
“Congratulations to players Defy Heaven, A Touch of Red Dust, Midsummer, Early Summer, and Li Weiwei for achieving the first kill in Blackwind Stronghold (Normal Difficulty)!”
A system-wide announcement instantly appeared, listing the names of Tang Xuan, Wang Yajun, Luo Qingqing, Qin Yanran, and Li Weiwei.
Every online player saw the message.
Tang Xuan and his four companions instantly became famous, sparking endless discussion!
“A first kill! That’s incredible!”
The girls, who had been watching the intense battle with anxiety—after all, this was a level 20 boss—were stunned to see Tang Xuan actually defeat it. Even having witnessed it firsthand, they could hardly believe it.
When the announcement appeared, Li Weiwei even leaped up in joy. Her name now resounded throughout the entire “Great Wuxia” game, and it was the first dungeon first kill ever—making it truly historic!
Clearly, the well-known elite players and guild members of major online game clubs had either not progressed through the dungeon as quickly as Tang Xuan or had fallen to the level 20 boss.
This boss boasted over 300 points in attack, defense, and speed, along with boosts from internal skills, blade techniques, and lightness skills—and a massive health pool.
Even a team of ten elite players, on the first day of the game’s launch, with their current levels and skills, would likely have struggled to bring him down.
Tang Xuan led his four female companions forward to inspect the loot dropped by the boss.
Securing the first kill in a dungeon always brought unexpected, extraordinary rewards!
