There's a Second Stage?

Faced with Luo Jun's attack, Old Yuan's body was immediately covered with a layer of solid Stone Armor, and he counterattacked with his still intact left hand!

Having already had multiple experiences with devouring, Luo Jun simply gave up activating the dice this time. He sucked into the hand, and the Stone Armor instantly crumbled, while the protective energy beneath it weakened considerably. At the same time, Luo Jun changed the trajectory of his fist and struck at Old Yuan's wrist!

"Break his hand!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty 75 points, Final Points 70 + 5 points, Event Success!"

That was close...

With a sigh, Luo Jun threw a punch, and before Old Yuan could fully replenish his internal energy, he snapped Yuan Lao's left wrist with a crack!

Then, Luo Jun activated the Yuan Qi Absorption technique on Old Yuan's head, and then, with all his might, threw a punch!

"A single, fatal blow!"

Use the last Intermediate Point Correction!

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 78 points; Final Points: 99 + 15 points; Event Success!"

Although it was a waste, at least the Event Success!

Luo Jun swung his fist and hit Old Yuan squarely in the face!

"I'm sorry, Master!"

The greatly weakened vitality was no match for Luo Jun's iron fist. The Old Man's face was immediately distorted by the blow, and the back of his head was slammed against the corner of the wall with nowhere to retreat. He took all the force of the blow squarely!

With a loud splatter... his face collapsed on the spot, his brains splattered, and several teeth flew out!

Seeing his Master's head deformed and slumped in the corner, Luo Jun felt terrible... He could only wait until the old man regained his senses and then apologize to him offstage.

However, this battle, though it looked quick, was actually anything but easy... In the early stages, I was constantly being attacked, my body covered in bruises and cuts. Later, in order to get close, I absorbed a lot of random energy. Although my meridians can still hold up, it will take some time to digest it, and a lot of it is still running around in my body, making me feel quite uncomfortable...

But it was worth it. He defeated his Master, restored his sanity, and completed his mission, gaining a large sum of money in return...

Wait, something's not right... where are the chips?

Luo Jun was slightly taken aback. Why wasn't there a notification that the mission was completed? Also, the statue hadn't declared the competition over...

In that brief moment of hesitation, Old Yuan's body was suddenly enveloped in a white light. Then, his severed hands and severely deformed head began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Is he being reborn?

Such an ability?!

Upon closer inspection, Luo Jun discovered that a character on Old Yuan's knuckle duster shone with an exceptionally dazzling light.

"Dry?"

Is the power of the Qian Hexagram rebirth?

This can't be fair! I went through so much trouble, almost used up all my dice, and finally managed to deplete the boss's health bar, and now you're telling me there's Second Stage?

If that old man gets back up, even if I were forced to my death, I wouldn't be able to beat him...

Seeing that Old Yuan was beginning to regain his life under the white light, Luo Jun immediately threw a punch to try to stop him. However, the white light not only had a healing function, but also had extremely strong defensive power. Luo Jun's fist was bounced back when it hit the light, and it could not stop Old Yuan's resurrection at all!

That's right, devour!

Pig Biscuit's ability can devour any visible elemental creation!

Luo Jun attempted to absorb the white light, but was interrupted after only absorbing a tiny amount of power... Upon closer observation, he discovered that the energy of the white light was circulating rapidly in a complex manner. He could only grasp a portion of the surface energy each time, unable to steadily and continuously absorb the energy...

However, this power ultimately comes from the Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger in Old Yuan's hand. If there is a way to directly establish a connection with the knuckle duster itself, then it should be able to continuously absorb power!

There must be a key breakthrough!

Luo Jun's eyes were fixed on the flowing white light... No, finding the node through observation was too difficult, almost impossible...

Come to think of it, the rebirth ability of Mythic Treasure Item is definitely a crucial life-saving function; how could it be so easily broken...?

Seeing that Old Yuan was about to recover, and with no time to give him a little trial and error, Luo Jun could only pin his hopes on the dice!

The ability to prevent the regeneration of white light!

"Ding! Event Difficulty 100 points, Final Points 83 + 5 points, Event Failed!"

As expected, it was extremely difficult... Luo Jun frowned and chose to Regret!

Recovery happens in an instant; there's no time for him to learn from his mistakes and start over. The mission only gives him one more dice roll, so he has to gamble it all on a reroll!

However, a score of 100 is indeed too difficult!

Luo Jun gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the time slowdown effect before it wore off, used 500 chips to draw a lucky bag!

Please, give me an item that can increase the success rate!

A flash of Green Light appeared, and what finally came into view was a coin!

A coin with one point on one side and 100 points on the other!

Life-Death Coin?!

Upon seeing this item, Luo Jun was so happy he almost jumped for joy! He decisively activated the Life-Death Coin, and also used his last chance to roll the dice!

Two coins, one worth 1 point and the other worth 100 points!

Marvelous!

Luo Jun immediately selected 100 points and then activated the Devour function on the Rebirth White Light!

This time was different from the past. The moment the ability was activated, the white light began to tremble violently, and then a visible energy was drawn from the Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger and connected to Luo Jun's mouth!

As Luo Jun absorbed the light, it seemed to lose momentum, and the restoration of Old Yuan's corpse also came to a halt!

It's done!

Overjoyed, I felt a surge of abundant and boundless power enter my body, flowing continuously!

Such powerful energy! Is this Master's vital energy?

No, Master is dead. This must be the power stored within the Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger!

Luo Jun had also heard that some Noble Phantasms, especially those that can only activate their effects after their master loses consciousness or even dies, slowly absorb their master's vital energy to accumulate it, waiting to be used at a crucial moment... Especially high-level Noble Phantasms, which often do not only store enough power for a single use.

After all, assuming the Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger's rebirth cooldown is one week, it would be troublesome if the power hadn't recovered by the Cooldown Time. Therefore, Luo Jun guessed that it should contain enough power for at least three, or even more, rebirths!

This is an enormous amount of vital energy, possibly far exceeding Old Yuan's capacity!

But no matter how much, I'll devour it all!

Luo Jun's body was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing the power of the Eight Trigrams Finger Tiger, while also rapidly digesting and transforming it into his own power... After an unknown amount of time, when all the meridians in his body began to swell and become full, almost unable to absorb any more, that power finally reached its limit!

The white light dissipated, leaving only Luo Jun standing on the field, and Old Yuan, who had not been successfully resurrected and was still lying on the ground.

At this moment, the statue finally raised its spear, signaling the end of the contest.
