The questioning tone immediately displeased Ling Yi.
"What will happen if I don't tell?" Ling Yi asked, clenching his fist.
" The Level-Up Pill —if you can't handle it, and you don't tell me, you'll die!"
"Are you threatening me?" Ling Yi's fist hardened. Looking at Xiang Cangqiong's deadpan face, Ling Yi had an urge to just punch him.
"It's not a threat, it's just stating a fact."
After a pause, Xiang Cangqiong continued, "I thought you were very clever. After all, an ordinary teenager wouldn't think of something like flipping a table to save Qiusheng."
"But your biggest mistake was taking out the Level-Up Pill Level-Up Pill. You should have secretly used it to level up to the Limit Nine Reincarnations. That would have been the smartest thing to do."
"But you actually revealed the Level-Up Pill to the public for a mere hundred billion gold coins. That's incredibly foolish. From the moment you revealed the Level-Up Pill pill, you've been in immense danger."
"The value of the Level-Up Pill far exceeds your imagination."
"Hand over the Level-Up Pill, and I, in the name of the Great Qian Empire, will protect you."
You kept talking, just like that.
Ling Yi went straight to the door, opened it, and said to Xiang Cangqiong, "Old Deng, I don't like the tone of your voice. I'll give you ten seconds to leave my house, or else..."
"What else?"
"Nothing much, I'll just beat you up."
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Interesting, young man. Arrogant and ignorant. Do you really think you're invincible just because you have some hidden talent?"
"Five, four..."
There are plenty of people in this world smarter than you; you're just a frog in a well.
What Ling Yi hates most is this kind of condescending, lecturing tone.
It's another case of being a frog in a well, another threat of death.
In Ling Yi's view, wasn't this just a way to Level-Up Pill?
Xiang Cangqiong? Commander-in-Chief of the Great Qian Empire? With such a lousy character?
With that attitude, I don't care who you are, I'll beat you up first.
"Go to hell!"
Ling Yi Ying Yi and appeared next to Xiang Cangqiong, throwing a punch at him.
Faced with Ling Yi's attack, Xiang Cangqiong shook his head. He was prepared to teach this arrogant brat a lesson and let him know that there are always people more capable than him.
Xiang Cangqiong didn't come to threaten Ling Yi, but he did come for the Level-Up Pill.
In Xiang Cangqiong's mind, he was protecting Ling Yi.
However, Xiang Cangqiong has become accustomed to being high and mighty over the years, and his actions are domineering and brook no questioning.
You Xiang Cangqiong is a villain? Actually, he isn't.
This man was upright and incorruptible, hated evil as if it were his enemy, and could not tolerate filth and corruption.
After returning from the mysterious place, within just one day, more than a hundred cockroaches and rats, like Wu Zhiping and his son Wu Ming, died at his hands.
However, Xiang Cangqiong is stubborn, self-centered, or in other words, lacks emotional intelligence.
He did good deeds but still earned a bad reputation; that perfectly describes Xiang Cangqiong.
Xiang Cangqiong was careless and didn't dodge.
Ling Yi's punch, with the force of a hundred tons, sent Xiang Cangqiong flying. His body, like a cannonball, crashed through the wall and hurtled away.
At the same time, a data barrage of "minus 100" appeared above his head.
This is Ling Yi Micro-control the data. If he didn't Micro-control the data, Xiang Cangqiong would have been killed by this punch.
"Hehe!" Ling Yi's Ying Yi, appearing above Xiang Cangqiong, who was Rapid Speed shooting into the sky.
Clench both fists, raise them high, and then slam them down forcefully.
Xiang Cangqiong was like a volleyball, deflecting at a right angle and hurtling down from the air to the ground.
Ling Yi showed no mercy with this punch. Although he had Micro-control the data, a damage value for two hits still appeared above Xiang Cangqiong's head.
The first instance of damage is "minus 100", while the second instance of damage is the "minus 1000" value that rises after Xiang Cangqiong crashes to the ground.
Outside the eastern Dafeng City, a huge crater had been smashed into the ground.
Xiang Cangqiong lay sprawled in the pit, staring at Ling Yi who was slowly floating in front of him, his face filled with disbelief.
"Cough cough, how did you do that?" Xiang Cangqiong coughed up a mouthful of blood and sat up halfway up as he asked.
"What? How did you do that? You mean controlling someone's blood flow when you hit them?"
"Yes, is this your hidden talent?"
"Ignorant! This is called Micro-control —status Micro-control, skill Micro-control, damage Micro-control, data Micro-control. Don't you understand that? You're like a frog in a well!"
"Impossible!" Xiang Cangqiong shook his head in disbelief.
In the minds of all professionals, it is simply impossible for a professional to achieve Micro-control of data.
This kind of Micro-control, where attacks don't cause damage, is completely unreasonable and beyond his comprehension.
Like the Fireball, a level 1 Fireball, without any equipment, can deal damage equal to 110% of the caster's base attack. This damage is fixed.
Your base attack is 100, so the Fireball can only deal 110 damage.
It's impossible for a level 1 Fireball to deal 80 or 10 damage.
This is unreasonable.
But with Ling Yi, this understanding was shattered.
"I see. Your attacks are limited by your talent, which is why you can't deal higher damage, right?"
Just as Ling Yi was about to say something, this Big Smarty started to fill in the blanks in his mind again.
"Yes, that must be it!" Xiang Cangqiong looked at Ling Yi with an expression that said, "I've seen right through you."
Then, he slapped his forehead and said, "Come on, hit me here. If you can deal more than 100 damage, I'll admit defeat."
Ling Yi laughed at this guy's confidence.
"How many health points do you have?" Ling Yi asked.
Xiang Cangqiong directly displayed his professional character panel.
[Name: Xiang Cangqiong ]
[Class: Greatsword Master (S)]
[Level: (Pseudo -Limit ) 7th Rebirth Level 85]
[Health Points: 12300/13400]
[Magic Points: 6400/6400]
[Attack: 4200]
[Defense: 1900]
[Speed: 22]
[Free Points: 0]
[Skills: Whirlwind Slash, Earth-Splitting Slash, Leap Slash, Thrust, Block, Greatsword Storm, Rush...]
[Equipment: (Hidden)]
[Backpack: (Hidden)]
"Is it really this bad?" Ling Yi was somewhat disappointed.
I thought it would be something amazing, but it's just this?
Ling Yi looked at his professional panel again; his health was close to 300,000 and his mana was close to 100 million.
Attacks approached 90 million, defenses reached 120 million.
Not to mention equipment stat bonuses; they're on completely different levels.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Xiang Cangqiong's face immediately turned ugly. This kid actually called his amazing data panel trash?
"Where's your professional skill panel? Your real professional skill panel, don't bother showing me that fake one anymore," Xiang Cangqiong said.
"Beat me first, then we'll talk."
"They really don't know their own limitations." Xiang Cangqiong was completely enraged.
Suddenly, a massive Greatsword, as big as a door, appeared in his hand.
Good heavens, this Greatsword is over two meters long and more than one meter wide. The blade is dark black with Yinyin purple glow.
Clearly, this is a piece of equipment of a high quality.
"Boy, you'll die if I strike you with this sword."
Why does that sound so familiar? Oh, right, that long-haired youth who got punched away by Ling Yi during the previous arena match said the same thing.
Ling Yi crossed his arms and said jokingly, "Old Deng, I'll stand still. If you can reduce my health by even one point, I'll give you the method to obtain the Level-Up Pill for free."
"Kid, you're too arrogant."
Xiang Cangqiong swung his Greatsword and smashed it down at Ling Yi.
It was a smash, not a chop. Xiang Cangqiong only wanted to teach Ling Yi Ling Yi lesson, not kill him.
"Buzz!"
The Greatsword Air Breaking through the air and slammed directly into Ling Yi's shoulder.
"When!"
The Greatsword struck Ling Yi's shoulder, but Ling Yi remained completely unmoved.
It felt like hitting a humanoid alloy block.
Two data bullet comments appeared above Ling Yi's head: [Damage Reduction] [Damage Reflection]
As for the health-reducing bullet hell, it never appeared.
On the contrary, a barrage of comments appeared above Xiang Cangqiong's head: "[Minus 200]".
Xiang Cangqiong was dumbfounded. Damage reduction with damage reflection? How much damage reduction is needed to Ignore his own damage?
"There's something there, but unfortunately, there's no such thing as a 100% perfect status entry in this world," Xiang Cangqiong sneered.
See, this is another cognitive error.
I thought no professional could ever stack a certain status attribute to the maximum.
After all, professional players can't Infinite Stacking like Ling Yi.
Over time, the saying arose that there are no 100% accurate status entries in the world.
"Go for it!" Ling Yi clenched her fist and gave Xiang Cangqiong a cheering gesture.
"You brat, watch my Leap Slash!"
Xiang Cangqiong jumped up, reaching a height of three meters, and brandishing the giant door-shaped Greatsword, descended from the sky, striking Ling Yi directly on the shoulder.
However, the sword blade was still held horizontally; it was still used for smashing, not slashing.
"When!"
Above Ling Yi's head: [Damage Reduction] [Damage Reflection]
Above Xiang Cangqiong's head: [Minus 200]
Whirlwind Slash!
" Thrust!"
" Earth-Splitting Slash, Greatsword Storm, Charged Strike..."
Xiang Cangqiong used all his skills, but the data barrage above Ling Yi's head only showed damage reduction, damage reduction, and more damage reduction.
"How is this possible?" Xiang Cangqiong took a few steps back, somewhat doubting his own existence.
At this moment, his own health points had been reduced to less than 500 points due to the reflected damage.
He, the mighty commander of the Great Qian Empire, level 85 after 7 reincarnations, and a pseudo- Limit Reincarnation who had undergone two Limit Reincarnation, was almost killed by a novice who had only awakened less than three days ago.
This isn't even a question of whether it's outrageous or not; is this kid even human?
How much damage reduction do you have?
"You guess!"
"Is your damage reduction at 100% maximum? Otherwise, it's absolutely impossible to do that."
"No wonder you were able to clear the Abyss dungeon. With this hidden talent, clearing the Nether Forest Abyss dungeon is definitely no problem."
Look at you, you're just making things up again!
However, Ling Yi didn't correct him. "Guess then. If you guess right, I'll admit defeat."
"Damage reduction plus damage reflection is indeed the most perfect combination. However, kid, don't think it's anything special. Damage reduction only negates regular damage, but a professional's methods are not limited to regular methods."
"Toxins, curses, Freeze, paralysis, and damage immunity are unavoidable. If you encounter this type of professional in the future, be careful."
Good grief, here comes another lecture.
Does that make sense? Yes, it does, but it doesn't make sense to Ling Yi, because Ling Yi's very existence is illogical.
This is annoying, I think I'll just give him a good beating!
