- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 157
Since Chen Wuming’s team only located one platinum-level boss, Qin Feng merely requested the coordinates and opted not to involve any players.
Riding Osirio under stealth, he ascended into the skies and sped toward the coordinates.
The massive, invisible Bone Sword Wyvern glided silently across the sky above the Jianghai Ruins.
About 100 kilometers outside the Jianghai City ruins lay Withered Tree Canyon.
Perched on a cliff overlooking the canyon, a squad of Knights’ Templar players kept a close watch on a Platinum-level boss, the Long-Haired Minotaur Titan, Black Ruru.
This towering Level 18 boss stood roughly five meters tall, its body cloaked in black fur, with only its two black horns visible atop its head.
The titan prowled the canyon, hunting prey. Whenever it encountered a monster, it would lunge, rip it apart barehanded, and devour the remains on the spot.
“Shadow is on his way. Let’s get ready.”
“Oh my gosh, the world’s top player is coming! Do you think if I buff him, I might get added as a friend?”
“That depends on how effective your buffs are.”
“I’ve got the skills, but will the big boss give me the chance to shine?”
Three women in the squad chattered excitedly, their faces flushed with anticipation, while the three men exchanged helpless glances.
“That’s Shadow for you…”
“Normally, these girls are so reserved.”
“But just hearing that Shadow is coming, and they’re all this eager?”
Initially, the squad thought their healers might be required to provide buffs for the fight against the boss. One of the female priests, in particular, was giddy at the prospect of adding Shadow as a friend.
But…
To their surprise, five minutes later, while they were still engrossed in their conversation, the Long-Haired Minotaur Titan, Black Ruru suddenly collapsed in the canyon below.
Four crimson blade streaks had appeared out of nowhere, slicing off its black fur and reducing its health bar to zero in an instant.
Boom!
The platinum-level boss’s massive five-meter body crashed heavily onto the canyon floor.
—-
[You have slain ‘Long-Haired Minotaur Titan, Black Ruru (Platinum-level).’]
[You have gained experience points.]
[Congratulations! You have earned 20 evolution points.]
[You have acquired 5.17 years of tradeable lifespan.]

To efficiently bypass the boss mechanics and ensure a clean, decisive kill, Qin Feng had first farmed 30 combo points on nearby mobs. Then, before the combo points expired, he stealthed toward the boss and unleashed Killing Shadow and Crimson Blade, instantly finishing it off.
This strategy was uniquely suited to Qin Feng.
Other players simply lacked the damage output to one-shot a boss. Even if they could accumulate combo points, their speed was insufficient; by the time they reached the boss, their combo points would have already faded.
Speed and damage were both critical—and Qin Feng had both in spades.
“Greedy Hand.”
While still cloaked, Qin Feng looted the Long-Haired Minotaur Titan’s corpse, pocketing 100 evolution points, nearly 26 years of lifespan, seven or eight emerald-grade pieces of equipment, and over twenty platinum-grade items.
After securing the loot, he promptly left.
In accordance with his agreement, the boss’s fixed drops—a few gold-tier items and one platinum-level skill book—were left behind for the Knights’ Templar Guild as compensation for providing the coordinates.
Given that bosses like this one were constantly on the move, even someone like Qin Feng, with his reincarnation knowledge, couldn’t possibly remember the exact locations of every boss. Relying on others for intel was essential for quick boss hunts.
Meanwhile, on the cliff above the canyon, the six Knights’ Templar players were slack-jawed with disbelief.
“What just happened? The big boss didn’t even bother with buffs—he just one-shot the boss?”
“My dream of adding him as a friend… gone.”
“Stop crying! Let’s check the loot. According to the agreement, Shadow left plenty behind for us!”
Qin Feng, riding Osirio, had already left the canyon. He sent Chen Wuming a private message with the list of items left behind.
First, it served as proof that he had fulfilled his part of the deal. Second, it ensured Chen Wuming could verify whether his members tried to pocket anything.
The sheer speed of the hunt left Chen Wuming and his team in awe.
“Wait, so fast?”
“That location is over 100 kilometers away!”
“Five minutes?!”
“Is the big boss flying a supersonic jet?”
“Traveling there and one-shotting a platinum-level boss in just five minutes… Shadow is truly terrifying!”
“Everyone, step up your efforts! Find more bosses—we’re on the verge of striking it rich!”
“Oh my gosh, he left behind a platinum-level mage skill book!”
“That’s worth decades of lifespan! Shadow is so generous to leave that for us!”
“I’m tearing up. But… doesn’t the big boss lose out this way?”
Unbeknownst to them, Qin Feng was far from “losing out.” On the contrary, he was reaping incredible rewards.
“Platinum-level equipment and skill books are practically priceless in the current market.”
“Even when they’re available, most come from treasure chests and are exceedingly rare.”
“But now… I’ve got platinum-tier gear and skills in bulk.”
Qin Feng considered his options. An auction could potentially yield astronomical profits, but he decided to wait.
Checking the rankings, he saw that, aside from himself at Level 20, the second-highest level belonged to Wang Meng’s six-man team, who were only at Level 13.
“I’ll hold off until the general player base levels up. For now, these items are better kept as strategic reserves.”
He decided against hosting an auction for the time being. If and when he did, it wouldn’t be under his own name.
“Maybe I’ll have Old Zhang handle it.”
Qin Feng deposited his newly acquired loot in the Sanctuary of Cleansing Souls before meeting up with An Yu and Lin Liyu. Together, they prepared to hunt the platinum- and emerald-level bosses identified by the officials.
Meanwhile, 300 kilometers from the Magic Capital Ruins, at the base of a searing volcano, Theodore and his elite team were attempting something audacious.
Standing at the entrance to a volcanic tunnel, Iron Fist Amos, a tall and wiry white sailor, was manipulating a God-Gifted Construction Book.
This tunnel was the sole path to the volcanic core, where the Diamond-level boss “Nightmare Inferno Bloom” awaited.
Moments ago, three heavy stone walls had blocked the tunnel, making it impassable.
But under Amos’s control, the walls dissolved into white streaks of lifespan energy, which then absorbed into his body…
