Chapter 350: Chapter 8: Vestige Task - Chi Jing Wilderness

Entering the dream realm again, this time Xiao Jie wasn’t in a rush to find the Tiger Demon.

Instead, he decided to familiarize himself with the game rules in the dream world first.

Although they had only briefly clashed before, Xiao Jie had already realized that the combat rules inside the dream world seemed to be different from the "real world."

It was similar yet not the same.

This was evident just by the fact that mana had turned into health bars.

And indeed, upon testing, he found differences.

Xiao Jie first used some ordinary Combat Skills, then some Saber Skill and Qinggong. The effects seemed to be quite similar to reality.

The only difference was—there was no consumption.

Not only was there no consumption, but neither Physical Strength nor Inner Strength was displayed.

Whether it was Combat Skills that consumed energy or Qinggong that consumed Inner Strength, it seemed like there were no limits at all when using them.

Xiao Jie nodded to himself internally, it appeared that in the dream world, his Physical Strength, Inner Strength, and even Mana were infinite.

Well, that wasn’t too hard to understand, since it was all just a dream.

He wondered if Spiritual Power Skills were the same... Xiao Jie didn’t dare to try them out lightly, as those were not easy to accumulate. It wouldn’t be good if they were wasted.

Next, Xiao Jie tested Equipment Skills, but this time it showed that there was no such skill available.

Whether it was the exorcism from the Divine Wood Talisman or the Horror Face from the Asura Ghost Mask, none could be used.

(It seems that Equipment Skills can’t be brought into the dream world, only the abilities one possesses can be taken in.)

Then Xiao Jie experimented with his secret techniques.

Wind Roll Cloud! Wind Roll Cloud! Wind Roll Cloud!

No problem, they could be used freely.

How about Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow? This secret technique has a cooldown period of one hour, it’s only usable once every hour, but it was uncertain whether this was also the case in the dream world.

Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow! Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow! Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow!

Haha, there weren’t any cooldown restrictions either, and no Inner Strength consumption—take that, you Tiger Demon, now let’s see if you won’t die!

With excitement, Xiao Jie rushed straight in the direction of the Tiger Demon, activating Grass Flying and Galloping, both at full throttle.

In the blink of an eye, he saw the silhouette of the Tiger Demon, lingering in the darkness, surging with vital energy. The corpse of the white snake was nowhere to be seen now, clearly having been completely devoured by it.

Seeing Xiao Jie appear, the Tiger Demon sneered.

"You dare come to seek your death again, today I shall kill till my heart’s content—come fight me!"

The Tiger Demon roared as it charged towards Xiao Jie head-on, its massive body and fierce physique imposing...

If this had happened in the real world, Xiao Jie would probably have no choice but to run. A boss of this level would definitely deal shocking damage and likely have at least 2000+ health.

But in the dream world, there was nothing to fear.

Xiao Jie wasted no time and activated his Big Move.

Secret Technique—Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow!

The Time Domain unfolded instantly, and as the Tiger Demon made a Flying Pounce, it got frozen mid-pounce in mid-air.

Xiao Jie unceremoniously began to unleash a flurry of secret techniques.

Wind Roll Cloud! Wind Roll Cloud! Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow! Another Wind Roll Cloud!

Amidst the flashes of blades and swords, the Tiger Demon was slashed into a pile of minced meat.

Dissipating into an array of light points in the air.

Just like this? Xiao Jie felt somewhat smug for a moment. Was this supposed to be the exorcism? A physical transcendence? Xiao Jie slain the Tiger Demon in his dream... wasn’t it said that only a High-level Exorcism Technique could disperse it?

While he contemplated, a suppressed, angry growl suddenly sounded from behind.

"Good lad, I underestimated you."

Xiao Jie was taken aback. As he turned around, he saw countless light points in the darkness coalescing into the figure of the Tiger Demon again.

"You’re not dead?" Xiao Jie exclaimed in surprise.

"Hahaha, I’ve been dead a long time ago, what you see before you is nothing but a residual soul, a lingering will, thanks to that white snake, that cat, consuming their residual spirits has filled me up a bit, at least enough to take some form and give you some trouble, to entangle with you, making you suffer in reality, that will be the venting of my resentment.

Lad, don’t think that killing me once will get rid of me, no matter a thousand or ten thousand times you kill me, I will keep clinging to you until the day I dig your grave."

Listening to the malevolent words of the Tiger Demon’s residual spirit, Xiao Jie was rendered speechless.

"Come on, Brother Hu, this is getting pointless. It’s not even me who killed you, and I bought your inner core for a hefty price. If you ask me, you should just move on, die off and move on sooner and perhaps if you move quickly, you might even be reborn well, maybe into a wealthy family next life."

"Shut up! You humans, not a single good one among you, today I shall have a blissful killing, you tricked me last time, but this time it won’t be so easy—roar!"

Tiger Roar Soul Shattering Shout!

Damn it, not this trick again!

Although Xiao Jie was prepared, he charged toward the Tiger Demon the moment it attacked. But the range of this attack was too vast, and Xiao Jie still got struck with fear, watching his character running away with the Fear icon above his head, Xiao Jie knew this round was a bust.

As expected, the Tiger Demon followed a Flying Pounce with a Choking, quickly killing him.

[System Prompt: You have been defeated—you wake up.]

This time spiritual power dropped to 17 points, and the Nightmare Soul debuff stacked another layer.

Looking around the familiar scene of the inn room, Xiao Jie cursed to himself, adamant that today he’d definitely make the Tiger Demon submit.

Xiao Jie was desperate now, without a second word, he laid down to sleep again.

Entering the dream world, Xiao Jie wised up. This time he had to devise a combo with no flaws.

The Tiger Demon’s speed could be said to be extremely fast, not far behind Qinggong. Trying to kite it seemed unrealistic, so ranged attacks were out of the question.
