Instructor Wu, who had answered every question so far, actually fell silent when Zhao Xun asked this one.
Zhao Xun did not want to waste time. He took out a machete and held it against Instructor Wu's neck. "You can't use your Special Ability now, and its passive effect doesn't work either. Do you want to answer after I cut you, or answer now?"
"You... you actually know about my passive effect..." Instructor Wu's eyes widened.
"After trying that many times, wouldn't I have to be an idiot not to figure it out?" Zhao Xun looked at Instructor Wu in bewilderment.
He had not seen anything about the Dog Collar lowering its wearer's intelligence. Why had Instructor Wu suddenly asked such a stupid question?
Did he think all those earlier attempts to cut him down had been nothing more than mindless hacking?
"If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate." With that, Zhao Xun cut a shallow gash in Instructor Wu's arm.
Blood slowly seeped out, and Instructor Wu's face turned deathly pale.
He knew Zhao Xun was not bluffing. He really could not use his Special Ability at all. Not only its active effect, but even its passive effect had vanished.
"How do you have such an overpowered Special Item?!" Envy showed in Instructor Wu's eyes.
It could actually strip its wearer of their Special Ability. That was absurdly powerful.
Without a Special Ability, a player became an ordinary person. No matter what they did, they could never beat an enemy who had one.
Even with his muscular build and advantage in height, he... he could not seem to muster the courage to try resisting even once.
Zhao Xun could not be bothered to waste words. He raised his machete, poised to slash Instructor Wu's arm again.
