Kill, you idiot!

The dark black knife behind him attacked again.

While defending himself, Lister used his Shunpo, and after several attempts, he still managed to close in on Lim at an extremely fast speed.

Just as the two were less than 300 meters apart, a sudden chill came from around them.

Frost appeared on the branches of the vast maple forest, and ice crystals appeared on the maple leaves, which fell one by one.

As the chill intensified, snowflakes began to fall from the dim sky.

Lister didn't notice at first, until a few snowflakes behind him suddenly accelerated and pierced his Federation uniform like sharp blades, realizing that the Frost Domain's attack was coming from there.

"Attacked: Entered the Frost Domain, Resolute Heart is being assessed: Immune to 26% damage, reduced slow effect by 26% (negative effect is S-rank, cannot be completely immune, immunity effect has been reduced)."

Merrick Saber Technique skill grants immunity to 24% of damage and reduces the slow effect by 24%.

Potential Burst: Immune to 0.3% of damage and slow effects (the immunity effect is reduced due to the opponent's skill level suppression).

During the Robust Soul assessment, the assessment is effective, but the Slowing effect is ineffective.

Suffering continuous frost damage -358 points, -346 points...

As expected, the Potential Burst skill is quite effective, but unfortunately, Lister doesn't have the experience to level it up further, so the effect at level one is barely noticeable.

In this area in front of us, countless snowflakes are falling.

The damage to my body was gradually healing.

In less than a minute, five thousand health points had been lost.

Fortunately, Lister's health is extraordinary. Even after being weakened, he still has 180,000 health, which is definitely BOSS-level health. Even if you try to tank it, you can last for half an hour.

Seeing that the dark dagger had stopped attacking, he immediately Iai Slash.

Even though it's just a basic longsword from the Federation, with all the passive enhancements, the blade light it produces is still astonishing.

The narrow blade of light carried an unstoppable sharpness, as if cleaving the entire Frost Domain in two, scattering countless snowflakes in all directions.

Countless maple leaves on the ground were scattered and flew about in a chaotic flurry as the blade flashed.

Seeing this, Lim remained calm, and an enormous Nen Guard instantly appeared around her.

She was full of confidence in her S-rank Nen Guard and did not believe that Lister's Nen Guard could break through it. She even resumed controlling the dark dagger, intending to continue her attack.

Unfortunately, things didn't turn out as she had hoped.

From Lim's perspective, the white blade light sliced through the Nen Guard with remarkable ease, as if there were no obstacles at all.

An incredibly sharp feeling immediately pressed down on her heart, and the next moment, a white light had already swept across her chest.

Instantly, a sharp pain surged from my chest.

The federal uniform was ripped open, and two large lumps of white flesh on the chest seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, leaping out from the gap in the clothing.

Unfortunately, a cloud of blood erupted from his chest immediately afterward, revealing his ribs.

Attack: Deals 550 damage, ignores 7768 defense, and inflicts 9321 true damage.

The opponent's health dropped by one-third instantly.

If it weren't for the fact that Lister's sword was so rubbish and its attributes weren't suppressed, he was confident he could have brought his opponent to the brink of death with a single strike.

Inside the Nen Guard, he couldn't help but spit out blood that had surged from his chest.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lim immediately activated the silver arm armor on her arm.

A green light enveloped her entire body, and the knife wound on her chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For a moment, his aura became even stronger than before.

At this moment, looking at Lister had completely closed in, and seeing the sharp aura emanating from him, Lim's expression became serious for the first time.

Although she came from a Level 4 civilization and was considered one of the more talented individuals within that civilization, she was still far from being a true Overlord Tier genius, and they had never crossed paths before.

I thought that even if a genius of the Overlord Tier from a lower civilization was strong, he couldn't be that strong; there was at least a limit.

Out of pride in their own level four civilization, and confidence stemming from the resources and skills they received from childhood.

Lister was brimming with confidence in this match against someone two ranks lower than him and who was also being suppressed.

At first, he was even worried that killing Lister outright would ruin the fun, and he even considered testing Lister's full strength and toying with him.

Now, there was no longer any contempt in his heart, and the Frostcold Domain that had been cleaved open by the Iai Slash reformed.

The speed and number of snowflakes falling on Lister also increased dramatically.

At the same time, Lim, whose aura was already much stronger, unleashed a powerful surge of Nen.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be the activation of S-rank Nen Burst.

Lister was not afraid of his opponent; now that he was close enough, the initiative in the attack was in his hands.

With a swift and clean upward slash, he struck his opponent.

"Clang!"

The dark green dagger, hovering in mid-air, flew in again to block the attack.

Unable to withstand the force of Lister's strike, the dagger flew towards Lim, only to be caught by her own hand.

After a brief exploration, the dark green knife in his hand suddenly transformed into a pair of dark green gauntlets.

It seems they've changed their attack strategy; after all, using ranged attacks after being closed in by martial arts practitioners is definitely not a good idea.

Now, he began with the familiar Federation Fighting Technique, his body brimming with intense Nen, as he attacked Lister.

It was probably thanks to the dark green gauntlets that Lister discovered the opponent's Federation Fighting Techniques had a speed and range far exceeding that of ordinary opponents.

Especially in terms of speed, they can make up for the difference in agility between the two.

Seeing Lim's punch, which was made of gathered Nen, Lister did not intend to dodge, but instead raised his sword to meet it head-on.

After his opponent threw a change of attack with an uppercut, he easily blocked it with a horizontal slash of his sword.

"Damage taken: 16121 points, with paralysis effect."

"Damage taken: 32345 points, with paralysis effect."

Attack: Deals 420 damage, ignores 6835 defense, and inflicts 8202 true damage.

Attack: Deals 416 damage, ignores 6715 defense, and inflicts 8042 true damage.

Under the opponent's forced paralysis effect, the damage from the Nen- gathered fighting technique was somewhat beyond Lister's expectations.

If this were during his prime, and with the support of the Night Wounding Saber and Jiji, he would naturally be eager to clash head-on with his opponent.

But in the current situation, seeing that the opponent's special leg bindings were also beginning to glow red, their health points were starting to recover once again.

Although Lim's health is lower than his, her recovery methods and speed in this simulated space far surpass his.

Lister immediately took a step back, realizing he could no longer blindly continue with this blood transfusion.

At least during the opponent's powerful Nen Burst, you either need to slow down or think of new strategies.

At the same time, Lim's thoughts were equally complicated.

She truly hadn't expected that Lister, who came from a mere first-level civilization, would be so powerful, forcing her into such a predicament.

Each cut looked completely insignificant, as if it were just an ordinary cut.

But when they actually clashed, they found that every strike was powerful and heavy, and each attack was extremely strong.

If she relaxes her attack even slightly, she could be severely injured.

In such a fierce battle, even his incredibly tough Ink Jade Gauntlets had been branded with two knife marks.

Only she herself knew that Lister was currently under special suppression.

If this were a fair fight in a real environment, even if she didn't want to admit it, she really wouldn't be a match for her opponent!

Now I finally understand why Ian took the initiative to suggest that she contribute resources to talk to the other party.

In a simple battle, Lim now deeply felt the power of the Overlord Tier life form.

Even fighting the weakest martial arts class in the Galactic Federation is this difficult!

The Galactic Federation currently has telekinesis as its primary profession type, followed by mechanics and magic, and then psychic and healing professions.

As for the Martial Arts system, it was ranked last among the other systems, which was also the period when the Martial Arts system was at its weakest in the previous game.

It wasn't until the Great Universe Era, with the rise of martial arts, especially technique-based classes, that martial arts once again became a top-tier profession.

Lim knew that her Nen Burst was about to happen, and dared not prolong the battle any longer.

Seeing Lister retreat, he immediately rushed forward and delivered a straight kick.

Lister, who was still thinking of a way to make a move, immediately felt that his opportunity had come and stepped forward to deliver a Knee Strike to his opponent.

"Boom!"

Seeing the smile creep onto Lister's lips, Lim immediately sensed something was wrong.

It was too late. The instant their feet touched, an immense force struck.

The next moment, she was sent flying into the air, and at the same time, a white light appeared in front of her with lightning speed.

Another wave of intense pain washed over her, but thankfully the knife hadn't killed her.

Just as she was about to land, a figure appeared beside her.

Lister reached his landing point in a few Shunpo, his blade already prepared.

With an incredulous look on her face, the long knife swiftly and cleanly plunged into her entire forehead.

"Damage taken: 31837 points, inflicted with a stunned state."

Attack: 311 damage, check successful, knockback effect has taken effect.

Attack: Deals 432 damage, ignores 7015 defense, and inflicts 8542 true damage.

Critical Strike: Deals 932 damage, 16015 defense-ignoring damage, and an additional 20542 true damage.

"He can't even move his hands and feet properly, what an idiot."

The calm voice reached her ears, and Lim felt a sharp pain in her heart; her strong sense of self-esteem was once again dealt a blow.

Before I could even respond, he had already vanished from the spot.

Lister glanced at his status; he had only 60,000 health points left.

This battle was really close, but luckily he seized the opportunity and took down his opponent in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, if I were to engage in a direct confrontation with the opponent within this Frost Domain, I fear I would die first.

Congratulations on your victory! You are now ranked 67th.

"Please wait until the other matches are finished before starting the next round."
