Frost Giant Bull

[Stun Baton (Rear Admiral)]

[Quality: White]

[Skills: Sparkling Debut Lv1, Alluring Gaze Lv1]

[Sparkling Debut Lv1: Sparkles is always the most dazzling star on stage.]

[Alluring Gaze Lv1: With just a glance, Sparkles can make anyone feel a tingling sensation.]

A white-grade equipment, it came with two skills right off the bat, which felt quite powerful.

But what kind of nonsensical descriptions are these skills? We're in a life-or-death battle, can't you be a little more serious?

If you were a beautiful woman, having these skills might let you charm enemies.

But you're a stun baton! What use does a stun baton have for these skills?

As Xu Jiang was pondering this, his pistol started sighing again.

"Alas~~ General, am I truly the most useless pistol?"

What a pitiful Desert Eagle, its design is so cool, why is its personality so gloomy?

Xu Jiang had to personally step in to comfort it.

"Actually, you're quite good too. Your Telekinetic Bullet can curve, that's amazing."

After hearing Xu Jiang's comfort, it became even more dejected.

The barrel of the gun drooped downwards, and it replied sadly, "My attack range can't compare to a sniper rifle, my rate of fire can't match an assault rifle, and my power can't compare to a rocket launcher. I'm truly useless."

If you start comparing like that, it'll never end.

After all, you're just a pistol! Being able to hit every shot is already pretty good, what more do you want?

With no other choice, Xu Jiang could only look to his side at the whimpering stun baton.

"At least you're better than Sparkles, right? She's just a little fairy electric... ah, no, a stun baton. Her abilities aren't as strong as yours."

"No, I can't compare to Sparkles. Her power is far greater than mine."

Xu Jiang was taken aback. "Are you sure? Her two nonsensical skills are better than yours?"

"Of course. Ranks are divided by potential. She's a Rear Admiral, while I'm just a Senior Colonel."

"So this rank thing is actually useful! I thought it was just for show."

On the third day, the bothersome sun rose from the west once again.

Outside the dark cave entrance, nearly a hundred trial participants had gathered.

More than twenty of them were from Pang Shi's team, already assembled and with a single goal: to help Pang Shi secure an S-rank rating and gain extra skill points.

The rest were either swayed by high temporary pay to join the battle, or were bored and came to join the fun.

Pang Shi glanced at the time. It was already the morning of the last day in the Spirit Realm. Assembly, clearing monsters, and installation of machinery – he had utilized his family's advantages to complete all possible preparations to the extreme.

"It's time to launch the attack. We will definitely succeed in this battle!"

Following Pang Shi's declaration, the battle officially began. A Shadow Dancer activated [Shadowstep] and ran into the cave.

Before long, a monstrous roar echoed from within the cave, followed by ground-shaking tremors, as if an enraged colossal beast was charging out.

The onlookers, unaware of what was happening, retreated a couple of steps in fear. They glanced at Pang Shi's group, then tightened their grip on their weapons, wanting to stay and see if there were any easy gains to be made.

Pang Shi merely sneered at these people. It wasn't that easy to profit.

The rating in the Spirit Realm was calculated based on each person's contribution.

He was the commander and captain of this battle. As long as he took down this monster, the great credit would definitely go to him. Those passersby looking to land the finishing blow wouldn't gain much benefit at all.

Moreover, if someone wanted to be his cannon fodder, would he refuse?

As expected, the moment he thought this, a colossal figure appeared.

With a sturdy body over five meters tall, clad in exquisite armor and wielding a steel axe, it had a pair of sharp bull horns on its head. Its eyes were blood-red as it surveyed the group of fearless humans before it.

Even more despair-inducing was that the monster's left hand was holding a giant shield, five meters tall.

The shield was formed from solid ice, its durability far exceeding that of ordinary iron shields. With a group of new recruits less than level 5, could they really break through this shield?

"Mechanist, fire the grappling hook! Secure the shield!" Pang Shi decisively issued the order as planned.

Three pre-assembled machines fired thick grappling hooks, firmly latching onto the ice shield. They then pulled with all their might, using mechanical force to temporarily dispossess the monster of its shield.

The onlookers rejoiced at this sight. Without the shield, they could directly attack the monster. Without any prompting, everyone swarmed forward, intending to hack the monster to death with a flurry of attacks and snatch the credit.

But as soon as they made their move, they discovered that the giant bull's skin was covered in a layer of frost.

Ordinary attacks were no different from scratching an itch for the giant bull. Instead, the enraged bull swung its axe, cutting them all in half, leaving no survivors.

"Fire Elementalist, go! Break its defenses!"

Pang Shi, who had made preparations, immediately gave the order. Fire breaking ice – this was the method calculated before they set out.

The plan was to use a shield that couldn't be broken, then have an elementalist break through the defense. Everything was going according to plan; killing this wild beast was only a matter of time.

Pang Shi smiled, already thinking about what pose to strike to welcome his first S-rank clear.

But at that very moment, something unexpected happened.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With consecutive sharp cracks, all three thick steel cables snapped.

"Impossible! These steel cables are specially made, how could they... Who's there!" Pang Shi dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding a sudden attack.

Turning his head, he saw a group of bizarre enemies had appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

They wore white masks with no features, only a pair of eyes, and cloaks. They stared at everyone like phantoms.

At the same time, a mecha technician responsible for assembling the machinery had betrayed them.

He pulled a mask from his backpack, put it on, and began attacking his companions. It was clear the steel cables had been tampered with, and these people were targeting Pang Shi.

"Faceless Ones!" Pang Shi roared through gritted teeth.

But all he got in return was the enemy's cold, mocking laughter.

"Young Master Pang, we're truly sorry to interrupt your plan. Don't worry, we brothers are just after money and won't harm you, Young Master Pang. As for the others... kill!"

With that order, the battlefield descended into chaos.

From afar, Xu Jiang, who had arrived late, witnessed the appearance of the Faceless Ones.

The clash of blades, the cries of guns and cannons, coupled with an invincible giant bull rampaging through the human ranks, Xu Jiang hid behind a tree, observing with a hint of apprehension.

"General, I've sensed it. The Spirit Seed Fragment is on that Frost Giant Bull."

"On it? Then it's no good. Its hide is too thick, it's completely unkillable."

If he could, Xu Jiang would have been willing to step in. But the bull in the distance was terrifyingly powerful; swords and bullets could only chip off some ice shards.

Charging forward with just his Desert Eagle would be suicide, as he couldn't even break its defense.

As Xu Jiang was struggling with this dilemma, his Desert Eagle suddenly let out a cry: "I get it!"
