Chen Nian blasted the meteor to pieces with a single wind cannon!
The teammates lying flat on the ground with their hands over their heads froze.
In their trembling pupils, Chen Nian stood tall and straight, utterly composed beneath the rain of fire.
"No... impossible..."
"What kind of terrifying power is that...?"
Someone kept rubbing their eyes, finding all of this too fucking ridiculous!
But the reality was right before their eyes. They had no choice but to believe it!
Only then did Chu Xiang understand. Perhaps, in this man's eyes, he really was a clown, a noob not worth a second glance.
Overwhelmed with humiliation, he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Why? Why could anyone be this powerful at this stage?
For an ordinary wind skill to have such absurd power, there were only two explanations!
Either the "bonus attack" on his equipment was extremely high.
Or his "Transcendence" stat was extremely high.
Only those two values affected an ability's final power!
It wasn't just his teammates. Even the boss, the Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf, had begun twitching at the corners of its mouth...
It even looked down at its hands doubtfully, thinking, Was that really my ultimate just now? How could this be the result?
The brat before it clearly wasn't high-level, so why did he exert such overwhelming pressure?!
"Human, you... you've got some skill!"
The Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf tightened its grip on its spiked club again, about to attack, when its fur suddenly stood on end. An intense sense of danger rushed toward it.
It was another Wind-Gathering Cannon.
The Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf instinctively raised its spiked club to block. Forged in magma day and night, the club had long since become capable of smashing through anything.
Bang!!
Half the spiked club shattered, sending golden-red fragments flying.
"Wha..."
The Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf's pupils abruptly contracted, and shock surged through its heart.
Was this human's attack really that terrifying?
Is he the boss, or am I?
There was no time to think. Another wind cannon was about to fire, but the sharp-witted Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf didn't foolishly stay where it was and wait to die. It dashed away!
This human hasn't moved from beginning to end...
He must have trouble moving.
With attacks this powerful, his defenses must be incredibly weak!
As long as I get close, I'll have a chance.
The Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf practically became a crimson blur, racing around the area so fast that it even formed a red tornado!
"So fast..."
"This monster's ability to think and act is incredible!"
Chen Nian was their last hope. If even he fell, none of them would have any chance of surviving.
"Watch out, behind you!!!"
Someone suddenly shouted a warning to Chen Nian.
The boss was terrifyingly fast, so fast that the others couldn't accurately track it with the naked eye.
By the time they saw it, it was already too late.
They, too, vaguely suspected that perhaps this guy only had exceptionally strong attacks, while his mobility and defenses were extremely weak. Once he was forced into close combat, he might lose.
They hadn't expected the monster to realize this as well... what terrifying intelligence!
"Die."
The Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf also thought it had succeeded.
But his claws struck empty air. The living, breathing man before him had vanished without a trace!
A calm, teasing voice came from behind.
"What gave you the illusion that you could beat me?"
An index finger hung in midair, aimed at the Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf's waist.
Bang... the Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf's waist burst open in a bloody mess.
Severely wounded, it immediately lost its footing. It staggered two steps before a foot came down toward its face.
The foot stomped it hard into the ground!
The enormous humanoid wolf boss lay pinned to the ground, unable to move, with a tiny human's foot on its head.
The sight left everyone's hearts pounding!
"Holy shit... which one's the boss...?"
"A monster... this guy is absolutely a monster among monsters..."
With "Eagle Eye" activated, Chen Nian could accurately track his opponent's every movement, while "Wind and Lightning Flash" gave him more than enough mobility.
He could convert all his defense into attack without a care because no one could touch him.
So the outcome of this battle had never been in doubt from the moment it began.
Chen Nian cast a sidelong glance at the Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf, aimed his raised index finger at its head, and blasted it apart in one shot!
As its corpse dissolved into motes of light, notifications popped up.
[Congratulations on defeating the boss "Heavenly Flame Demon Wolf"] [Genetic Energy +12,540] [Congratulations on obtaining the rare skill scroll "Heavenly Meteor Descends"] [Congratulations on obtaining the epic weapon "Crimson Wolf Molten Fire Club"] [Congratulations on obtaining the rare forging material "Crimson Wolf Fang"]
A massive amount of experience!
The rare fire mage ultimate "Heavenly Meteor Descends"-it was no exaggeration to say that this thing would sell for at least a billion in the Trading Space!
An epic weapon. That spiked club had dropped too...
Chen Nian was very satisfied. It seemed his work on this trip hadn't been for nothing. He had made a killing.
After killing all those mobs and the final boss, his level had soared from 70 to 83, a massive increase!
The epic equipment's stats were impressive as well.
Crimson Wolf Molten Fire Club (Epic) Required tier: Tier 1 Defense: 50 Attack: 230 Bonus stats: Constitution +10, Transcendence +10 Special effect (Flame Imbuement): Allows the weapon to burst into flames
By comparison, Chen Nian's original weapon was a fine-grade dagger with only 50 bonus attack.
After equipping it, his attack soared by another 180!
As for the weapon itself, Chen Nian didn't need to take it out and use it at all. He only needed the equipment's base effects. His fighting style still primarily relied on Word Spirit.
His level stats and equipment stats had all been completely refreshed.
Chen Nian: Word Spirit Sage (Unique) Genetic level: Tier 1 (Level 83) Constitution: 137 Agility: 88 Transcendence: 77 Bonus attack: 310 Bonus defense: 696 Combat rating: 65 stars
His combat rating had increased by more than 20 whole stars. If Chen Nian activated the "Calamity Gem" effect as well, his attack could even break the thousand mark!
He knew he was probably the first person in the world whose attack could exceed a thousand.
"You're so strong, bro..."
"No wonder Miss Ye was confident enough to challenge the Fire Flame Abyss trial. She brought in a big shot like this..."
"My god, you even crushed a level 95 boss. Just who are you, bro...?"
"Yeah, were you a big shot on the old game rankings, or are you a rising star? Let us get to know you, bro, so we can thank you in the future!"
After narrowly escaping death, these teammates had all become Chen Nian's bootlickers.
Except for Chu Xiang. He simply couldn't accept that someone could be so outstanding, to the point of exceeding his understanding...
Perhaps, in Miss Ye's eyes, we're all just noobs making up the numbers. Only he's truly strong.
"Aaaah~~~~!"
Just then, a piercing scream came from the crimson pillar of light in the center.
The monsters had all been wiped out, but something had happened to Ye Hongling!
