Dragon Courage, Lone Rider Rescue (Bonus Chapter 3/3 for Alliance Leader: Young Master of the Phantom Underworld)

Bai Xiaowen kept his eyes fixed on Pang Tong's health bar.

Normally, he would have had to enter combat with an enemy to see their health bar, but the Eye of Evolution had granted Bai Xiaowen Insight. He was unlike ordinary Awakened.

He saw that Pang Tong's health bar had two sections, one red and one gray, each showing 300 points.

The first section, the red 300-point bar, was probably Pang Tong's own maximum Life Value. The gray 300-point bar behind it was likely a shield or some form of extra life. It fluctuated with Pang Tong's coughing rather than staying fixed.

Pang Tong's Life Value might look low, but he had the special skill Cultured Eminence. Once he entered combat, his three primary attributes fell to one-fifth of their normal values. Three hundred health was already a respectable amount.

When the arrows rained down, they emptied Pang Tong's red health bar first.

Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Pang Tong is as good as dead."

Li Shuyi saw that soldiers had helped Pang Tong up and that he was still waving them back in retreat. "He can still move. Isn't he alive?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Pang Tong's own Life Value has hit zero. The gray bar is keeping him alive now, and it's steadily draining. Think of a martial arts master who's suffered a fatal wound and is sustaining himself with inner energy. He might live a few more days... But at the rate that gray bar is falling, Pang Tong probably won't last even one."

Li Shuyi settled down to watch the battle.

By now, nearly half the Jingzhou Army had been shot down. The road was narrow, making it difficult to change formation. When the soldiers tried to retreat, they blocked one another and fell into a panic.
