Good Habits Are Important

Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat upon hearing that.

There's such a good thing?

Without overthinking, he shoved the Anomaly aside, leaped high into the air, and caught the small bottle thrown his way.

He landed, opened the bottle's cork, and a medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Analysis Pupil activated.

"Name: Scum Yuan Pill."

"Grade: Mortal Grade Low-tier."

"Effect: Restores a small amount of Internal Breath."

"Description: A pill made with a small amount of black ash as the main ingredient, combined with a large number of auxiliary herbs. Its effect is poor, it easily accumulates pill toxins, and should not be eaten in excess."

"Note: My advice is to eat it like candy."

Fang Yue gave it a cursory glance, took out a Scum Yuan Pill, and swallowed it directly without even tasting it.

With a gulp, the pill entered his body and began to digest.

Fang Yue felt a warm current surge through his body. Here it comes! Here it comes!

He excitedly opened his status screen and stared intently at the Internal Energy bar.

Then, he saw his Internal Force Value struggle from 0 to 1 point.

Fang Yue waited for his Internal Energy to continue rising, but the Internal Force Value stopped moving... It. Stopped. Moving!

It was like it got stuck, not budging an inch.

No way, man! Isn't this supposed to restore Internal Energy? Restore it already!

At this moment, the Anomaly had already charged over, but Fang Yue wasn't focused on it. After a couple of exchanges, he quickly created some distance.

He continued to check his Internal Force Value; it still hadn't increased.

Fang Yue's expression immediately turned grim.

Does Captain Lin have it out for me? Nothing he gives me is ever useful.

First my rusted saber broke, and now this Internal Breath pill doesn't restore Internal Breath. Can't he be more reliable!

Fang Yue led the Anomaly away for a short distance before his Internal Force Value finally rose from 1 to 2 points.

Good grief! This turtle's pace, is he serious?

Fang Yue was dumbfounded.

Lin Ling, in the distance, seemed to notice Fang Yue's bewilderment and immediately shouted, "Eat a few more pills!!"

Eat a few more?

One Scum Yuan Pill only increased my Internal Energy by 1 point, and it took ages for another point to come in.

If I want to immediately recover my peak combat strength, I'll need...

Fang Yue looked at the eighteen remaining Scum Yuan Pills in the bottle. After a moment's hesitation, he poured them all out and downed them in one go.

This scene startled Lin Ling—I told you to eat a few more, not all of them!

Others who knew about the Scum Yuan Pill were also shocked and bewildered by this sight.

Eating over a dozen Scum Yuan Pills in one go was simply too extravagant.

Extravagance aside, the most important thing was that eating too many Scum Yuan Pills at once would lead to pill toxin accumulation.

It was said that someone once ate over a hundred Scum Yuan Pills in a single day and was directly poisoned to death by the pill toxins.

While Fang Yue's consumption wasn't that extreme, eating over a dozen at once would definitely cause pill toxins.

Fang Yue was unaware of their thoughts. At this moment, he was feeling a powerful warm current surge from within, filling his entire body.

Internal Breath, Internal Breath is coming back!

Fang Yue stared at the Anomaly charging at him again from a distance, his body filled with strength!

He felt a song playing on repeat in his mind—It's so lonely to be invincible!

The sky is clear, the rain has stopped, I'm back in the game!

Bang!

Just then, the Anomaly leaped high into the air and lunged at Fang Yue.

"Good!"

Little Anomaly, now I'll show you my full power!

He pulled out an iron knife from the ground...

Spark Heart Method!

+5 Control Power.

+5 Force Dissipation.

Directly nullifying the attribute reduction of the [Curse].

Spark Saber Technique!

Lifespan burned again, sparks igniting the blade. With a chiss sound, it exploded into a raging inferno, surrounding the blade!

The iron saber glowed red all over, as if transformed into a blade from hell.

At this moment, the Anomaly was about to descend, its fists smashing towards Fang Yue's head.

With a dong of an explosion.

Fang Yue didn't dodge, taking the punch head-on. A terrifying -188! notification popped up above his head.

But he had stabilized his stance, and while taking the damage, he seized the opportunity.

Grasping the saber with both hands, he swung it with all his might from bottom to top at the Maid Anomaly's body, carving a brilliant arc through the darkness.

Voom!

The swift blade was like water, instantly reaching the Maid Anomaly's belly.

-177!

Boom!!

The raging fire was like a blade, instantly tearing open the wound. From bottom to top, accompanied by crackling flames, it sliced from its stomach all the way to its left shoulder...

-252!

-301!

-347!

-382!

The familiar damage stacking reappeared, layer upon layer, each higher than the last.

When Fang Yue finally *chiss*ed through the Anomaly's left shoulder and passed through it, a massive blood-red critical hit number heavily emerged.

-666!

This was Fang Yue's limit.

The damage dealt by Captain Lin and the others couldn't compare, but it was still terrifying.

As for the Anomaly, after Fang Yue passed through it, it landed heavily behind him with its body almost split in half. It tumbled several times, spilling black blood everywhere, its body trembling before quickly falling still.

This brief exchange was spectacular and swift.

It was over almost as soon as it began.

Everyone was still trying to process what had happened, only to see the Maid Anomaly, engulfed in flames, pass through Fang Yue and fall to the ground.

They stared blankly at the Maid Anomaly on the ground, its head pierced with a gaping hole, its upper body from the stomach to the left shoulder sliced open, almost split in two. Their minds went blank.

"Did... did we succeed?"

"The Anomaly is dead?"

"So strong... Brother Ye is so strong!"

"Great! Great! We finally killed this Anomaly..."

Just as the person finished speaking, they saw Fang Yue, after a slight gasp for breath, immediately charge towards the Maid Anomaly's corpse. Along the way, he casually discarded the broken saber he was holding and picked up a new iron saber.

Reaching the Maid Anomaly, Fang Yue's blade instantly ignited with flames without hesitation. Lifespan burned, and the Spark Saber Technique struck down.

Crack!

Accompanied by a flash of fire, the Maid Anomaly's head was severed from its body, rolling away with its hollowed-out eye socket.

Everyone was stunned again.

What, what was he doing?

Mutilating the Anomaly's corpse? Did he hate it that much...

As they were wondering, a large blood-red number slowly emerged from the Maid Anomaly's body.

-1755!

Everyone stiffened.

"Damn! It's not completely dead yet?"

"So it was faking death just now!"

Amidst everyone's discussion, Fang Yue frowned and raised his saber again, hacking frantically at the Anomaly's chest.

-1885!

-1456!

-1525!

-3208!

Fang Yue's damage was astonishingly high, with the final numbers reaching terrifying levels.

This wasn't because Fang Yue had become stronger, but because the Anomaly had become weaker after being severely injured.

Just like when they killed the [Bombardment Anomaly] before, once the Anomaly was critically wounded, the damage dealt to it would increase significantly.

With Fang Yue's final blow, the Maid Anomaly's waist was also cut in half before the system notification finally sounded.

"System Notification: Congratulations Player [Night Dawn] on defeating the Anomaly [Power Body Anomaly]. Reward: +8 Control Power, +8 Force Dissipation, +1 Lifespan."
