Abo's face turned cold.

The next second, he slid to the side, raised his left foot high, and delivered a clean and decisive side kick, deflecting the Qing Fu Sword's thrust! "So he's a disgrace among Martial Artist."

Abo was somewhat disappointed, revealing a clear look of disgust. "You're not worthy of using your fists!"

As they were talking.

With a flick of his left hand, an exquisitely designed ring slowly revealed itself.

It's a ring that can become invisible!

Roger sensed something was wrong and jumped back, trying to create distance.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

A series of rapid, short incantations rang out.

A dozen thick and tough spider silks shot out from the ring, binding the Qing Fu Sword tightly.

The Black Fist Instructor suddenly pulled.

Roger had no choice but to let go, allowing Abo to drag the Qing Fu Sword away! "Hmph."

"Waste."

Abo clenched his fist again, took a sudden step, and swung a punch! Roger's hair stood on end.

The Cloud Mist Step was activated! He narrowly avoided Abo's seemingly inevitable punch.

The latter didn't say a word.

Let's throw another punch.

In a short time.

Roger could only retreat in defeat!

"What a fast punch!"

"Such a heavy hand!"

Roger's attribute disadvantages were magnified to the extreme in front of Abo!

Even the most skillful techniques rely on attributes to be fully utilized.

The limited space in the basement forced him to resort to hand-to-hand combat.

In hand-to-hand combat.

The Black Fist Instructor, who was many times stronger than Roger, had the upper hand in every aspect! Fortunately, Roger's Evasion Value was not low.

With the blessing of the Cloud Mist Step.

In his hasty escape, he was occasionally able to retaliate.

But his punches never felt like they hurt or tickled when they hit Abo.

He even suspected that the other party had deliberately let him hit them.

The purpose is to deplete one's physical strength!

"You scoundrel!"

Abo suddenly roared:

"If you're a man, give me a punch!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

His tight vest tore apart piece by piece, revealing his explosive muscle lines.

Roger's face turned ashen.

He had never been humiliated like this before!

This Abo.

He's so arrogant and domineering just because he's a big muscle man!

Roger finally reached his breaking point.

The next second.

He ducked to avoid Abo's heavy punch and then lunged into his arms.

Abo laughed heartily, then clasped his hands together, ready to trap Roger like a turtle in a jar, locking him tightly in his arms.

Roger clenched his fist and suddenly accelerated.

The chilling force of the punches was like the north wind sweeping through a canyon on a cold night.

Amidst Abo's maniacal laughter.

The terrifying power is building up at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!

In a short while.

The fist suddenly released, transforming into a palm! This was Roger's long-awaited, deadly strike.

Shattering Palm!...

Your level has been increased to LV21.

Your attributes have been improved.

Your level has been increased to LV22.

Your attributes have been improved.

Your level has been increased to LV23.

Your attributes have been improved.

Your level has been increased to LV24

Your attributes have been improved.

"You have acquired a new skill: Bone Scraper"

When that thin palm slammed hard onto Abo's strong chest.

A twisted smile still lingered on his face.

That instant.

A soft voice whispered in his ear:

"Who told you I'm a Martial Artist?"

Abo's body began to tremble and convulse violently.

His mouth was immediately gagged.

Roger suffered a minor fracture in his right hand due to the excessive force of the impact.

But the exceptionally high toughness still allowed him to complete the remaining Tail Sweep work.

Lock the basement door as quickly as possible.

Roger finally had a chance to catch his breath.

Abo was definitely the most powerful enemy he had faced since his time travel.

If it weren't for the fact that Hidden Hero was still hiding his trump card.

Roger had no choice but to try and escape! However, the gains from this battle were also extremely substantial! (See the data panel.)

"You killed Abo (Black Fist Instructor /human/elite)"

You have gained 49 XP points.

"You have gained 40 Xia Yin Value points."

"You have obtained 6 Agility Shard (quest item)"

"Rewards for the Extermination Order are being collected..."

"You have acquired a special skill from Abo — Fist Mastery."

"Fist Mastery (3rd Ring Feat): You can easily master any style of fist fighting; your punching speed is increased by 35%"

Take a short break.

Roger dug the dying gargoyle out of the ruins.

The latter struggled to expel Sang Qi's Cauldron from its stomach, and then quickly transformed into the shape of a statue.

After suffering a severe blow.

It takes a lot of time for the body to recover.

Roger tossed the statue back into the cauldron, then grabbed a bottle of Vitality Potion and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he took out the White Raven's Crown and put it on his forehead.

A massive amount of "qi" surged into his body, slowly repairing the injury to his right hand.

Roger let out a long breath, his mind completely relaxed.

Roger only recently discovered that gargoyles could store crucibles in their bellies.

However, the storage time cannot exceed 24 hours.

Once more than 24 hours have passed.

The crucible will be shattered by the gargoyles.

If Roger wants his things back then...

We'll have to dismember the gargoyle into eight pieces.

"Fortunately, there are still Vitality Potion."

He couldn't resist opening another bottle and chugging it down.

My body felt a little better after that.

Three minutes later.

Roger sprang to his feet and began looting the spoils.

There's nothing good about old Porter.

Only a large amount of currency.

Roger was rather chubby, with about fifty or sixty Silver Horn.

Abo, on the other hand, is the exact opposite.

He didn't have much money on him.

But there are many good things.

The first thing, naturally, is the ring he used.

The Spider Speaker's Ring

Rating: SS

"Attribute: Spider Speech (You can understand the language of spiders or spider-like creatures)"

Special Effects: Self-Invisibility

"Enchantment 1: Web Spell"

"Web Spell: A 1st-level spell that launches a web of magical energy, binding the enemy."

"Limit: Ten times per day"

Enchantment 2: Spider Silk Spell

"Spider Silk Spell: 2nd Ring spell, fires several powerful spider silk threads to entangle the opponent, which can be stretched and retracted freely."

"Limit: Ten times per day"

"What a powerful ring!"

Roger was speechless when he saw these rows of attributes.

Neither Web Spell nor Spider Silk Spell were effective against him.

But he himself uses it with great ease!

As for the ring's self-invisibility and the added Spider Speech...

These are all nice little bonus points.

This was Roger's second double-S trophy after the crucible.

A truly exceptional piece!

The second trophy was a pair of uniquely designed boxing gloves.

Roger found this thing in the drawer of that table.

Abo probably doesn't use it much normally.

The stats look pretty good on paper.

"The Irritable Gauntlets"

Rating: S

"Attribute: When equipped, the power of each of your punches is increased by 50%"

Special Effects: Burning Rage

"Burning Rage: When you put on these gauntlets, you will often experience various auditory hallucinations, which will increase your anger. Specifically, every 30 seconds, you will gain 1 stack of 'Rage'; 'Rage' can stack up to 40 times; each stack of 'Rage' provides an additional 5% power and critical strike chance."

Once your 'irritability' reaches level 20 or higher, you risk losing control at any time.

"That's really weird?"

"This is supposed to drive me out of control?"

Roger was a little skeptical.

He deftly put on the boxing gloves.

A gruff voice came from beside my ear:

"Are you there? Haven't eaten yet? Can you put in a little more effort?"

"Press harder! Are you doing gua sha?"

"Useless! Useless! Useless! You're a complete and utter piece of trash!"

"I forgot to tell you, boxing is not suitable for disabled people. Yes, I'm talking about you. Being mentally disabled is still being disabled..."

After a dozen or so breaths.

Roger silently took off his boxing gloves.
