Tiger! Blaze in Splendor!

Moments later, amid a rapid series of dense sounds of bones and organs bursting, Wang Zhifan witnessed the man whose hand he had just severed being trampled by the Giant Boar into an indistinct heap of flesh and blood. The man's screams also came to an abrupt stop, clearly dead beyond all doubt.

But the battle in this Dungeon was far from over.

This time, when the Giant Boar charged up to him, Wang Zhifan not only nimbly dodged its savage collision to the side once more, but also took the opportunity to carve a long, bloody gash across the thousand-pound beast's body with the Wolf Slayer Blade in his hand.

Yet that wound seemed only to intensify the enormous, brutish beast's ferocity. Its massive body meant that such a cut had no real impact on it. It merely swung its tusked head around in even greater fury, its two tiny blood-red eyes fixed on Wang Zhifan as it charged at him faster and more viciously!

This thing's hide is way too tough... Killing it alone is really troublesome...

Wang Zhifan had made that judgment the moment he first laid eyes on the Giant Boar. Their two exchanges just now had confirmed that he was right. This enemy was every bit as difficult as the Lv3 tiger he had once encountered in a Dungeon!

Its hide was too hard and its body too thick, and it kept charging back and forth at high speed. Even with a defense-piercing weapon like the Wolf Slayer Blade, it would take him a long time to finish it off. Worse, one small mistake during that process could get him killed.

Thinking rapidly, Wang Zhifan pulled off the severed hand connected to the Handgun he was holding and tossed it to the ground, preparing to try using the Windbreaker Youth's firearm to deal with this powerful foe.

Fortunately, the Windbreaker Youth had already loaded the Handgun and disengaged its safety before Wang Zhifan cut off his hand. Now, Wang Zhifan only needed to aim the muzzle at the Giant Boar and pull the trigger for all he was worth.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Wang Zhifan stood his ground and fired three shots in rapid succession at the massive beast charging toward him. But to his surprise, only one of those three shots hit. The other two struck the Giant Boar's side instead.

It was clear that even at this range, against such a large target, his accuracy without Gunner skills was worrying. Of course, that was certainly related to the Giant Boar constantly sprinting at high speed. For someone who had barely touched a gun either before or after crossing over, hitting one shot out of three in such a rushed situation was not too bad.

But with only one shot landing, just as the Windbreaker Youth had said before, it could not inflict any major damage on such a huge, thick-skinned beast. Wang Zhifan only saw a small bloody hole appear on the Giant Boar's body, yet its charge did not slow in the slightest. It was practically no different from being uninjured! And now, the target had already rushed right in front of him. For the sake of his life, Wang Zhifan could no longer keep firing. He could only dodge at once, narrowly avoiding the Berserk beast's collision again and quickly circling behind it.

The gun doesn't work either... No choice. I can only try this move.

At this critical moment, with the pressure mounting and his stamina draining faster and faster, Wang Zhifan swiftly tossed the Handgun in his hand into his Personal Space, gripped the Wolf Slayer Blade tightly once more, and prepared to rely on this old companion to take down the enemy before him.

When the Giant Boar saw him switch back to his original weapon, a hint of human-like contempt seemed to flash through the tiny, round, blood-red eyes on its turned-back pig head. Clearly, it had no fear of the weapon this opponent wielded. Its physique was simply too huge; even if that blade were driven halfway into its body, it might not pose a threat to its life.

However, this massive beast had miscalculated this time, because the youth before it had unleashed his trump card.

"Tiger! Blaze in splendor!"

Facing the Giant Boar as it gathered strength for another charge, Wang Zhifan shouted two rather cryptic lines. Then an almost tangible pressure suddenly erupted from his entire body, and in an instant, he was wreathed in the Baleful Aura of some terrifying predator. It was as though he had instantly become a ruthless hunter at the top of the food chain, a cold-blooded Overlord ruling all beneath him!

He had activated the exclusive skill granted by the Tiger Soul True Tattoo engraved upon his body: Tiger Force.

Wang Zhifan had actually never used Tiger Force before. He only knew that he could use it at most twice a day, each use lasting no longer than fifteen minutes. While the skill was active, all of his attacks would carry soul damage equivalent to that of an Lv5 Tiger Spirit! As for whether soul damage at the level of an Lv5 Tiger Spirit was powerful or weak, now was the time to test it in actual combat.

Having used his trump card for the first time, Wang Zhifan's fighting spirit surged. He actually charged straight at the Giant Boar rushing toward him, as though he intended to confront this massive enemy head-on!

The Giant Boar, facing Wang Zhifan as his aura suddenly soared, instantly felt fear rising from the depths of its soul. Its charging speed abruptly slowed somewhat, but the inertia of its enormous body still carried it forward with terrifying force that no human could easily resist.

The man and beast met in the blink of an eye. When the distance between them closed to roughly three meters, the Giant Boar suddenly unleashed the ferocity that had been somewhat suppressed moments ago and lunged forward, wanting to skewer the enemy before it with its tusks. Wang Zhifan, however, suddenly leaped high into the air. With astonishing jumping power and control over his body, he flew directly over the back of the enormous beast!

Throughout the motion, the Wolf Slayer Blade he held in a reverse grip with both hands stayed vertical as he pressed it downward. In an instant, it tore a gash more than ten centimeters deep and over two meters long across the beast's broad back! After completing this difficult and risky attack, Wang Zhifan landed behind the Giant Boar and had barely stopped and turned around when he saw that his thick-skinned opponent had already collapsed sideways onto the grass. Blood flowed from its dark back, while its massive body trembled continuously, as though it was not yet dead but had lost control of itself.

The soul damage is actually this effective?

Wang Zhifan was delighted at the sight. He had been prepared to fight several more rounds with this massive beast, but he had not expected the very first strike to be so effective, knocking it straight to the ground and leaving it completely unable to get back up.

After all, if it had only been the physical damage Wang Zhifan had inflicted just now, it would have amounted to no more than a moderate injury for this Giant Boar. It could never have knocked it down directly. Therefore, the soul damage added by his current Tiger Force state was clearly the true culprit behind its near paralysis.
