Chapter 285: Chapter 57: Reporting, Someone is Cheating! (5k for Monthly Votes)

Upon learning the true strength of his opponent, Xu Shu’s first reaction was to retreat.

"Why the hell would I fight this?"

Although he had defeated Second Rank before.

People like Lu Bingwei and Tian Wenjin, members of the White Emperor’s son, were both Transcendents of the Second Rank.

One was a Scout passing by, a "Sentry"; the other, a criminal path "Prisoner," with skills that varied widely.

However, Xu Shu knew that even within the same rank, the disparity in strength could be like heaven and earth.

Funny that Lu Bingwei had heavenly offense but no means to save his own life; while Tian Wenjin was sneaky and nasty, constantly setting traps for others. In the end, he got trapped himself, pissed off a Yang God, and died.

Although these two had the strength of the Second Rank, they weren’t frightening.

But this "Spirit-eating Ghost" in front of him was entirely different.

Think back when an 18th level First Rank ’Unclean’ could challenge a 15th level Xu Shu, making him feel utterly outclassed; now at level 16, he felt confident enough to strike it down.

But replace the enemy directly with a Second Rank "Spirit-eating Ghost"?

Then I must say, sorry, I can’t win, farewell!

Thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best.

Xu Shu wanted to escape, but unfortunately, he couldn’t just walk away at the moment.

After triggering the "gambling agreement," one of them had to lie here today between him and Jianqi’s Chosen One.

"The room, as you wished, has ’Drawing a Prison’ set up for you, the battlefield prepared. Now, go ahead and beat him down mercilessly, let the show begin."

"The grand battle erupted in an instant."

"At this moment, you have no time to wonder why there’s a Second Rank ’Spirit-eating Ghost’ in the Wasteland; your opening move is a flirtatious look filled with scorn, however, being neither male nor female, your Charm failed for the first time in a while."

"What followed was the Life-taking Mantra of the Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, ’The girl on the other side look over here, come on over, let’s enjoy life,’ sang Magitelle, controlled on the spot, bleeding from every orifice – truly a combination of Yin, Yang, and Prime in the guile of the Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, she’s like a Warrior God!"

"With this opportunity, you set up ’Iron Mountain Lean,’ harming the enemy at great cost to yourself, conjuring up 200 out of thin air. You then successively used ’Kua Fu Chasing the Sun,’ ’Eight Spider Spears,’ ’Entanglement,’ and ’Gonggong Touching Mountain’s Iron Mountain Lean,’ finishing with a combination of ’Sun Character Punch.’ In between, you even activated ’Light Country’s Blessing’ and ’Joker Crown.’"

"Faced with an enemy a whole rank higher, you held nothing back, unleashing a skill deluge like a torrential flood – a dazzling, overwhelming assault that completely drowned the unlucky Jianqi’s Chosen One."

"Magitelle was stunned by your beating at first, only able to take hits passively, howling desperately for a chance to fight back. You brutally kept him pinned down for ten minutes straight – a whole ten minutes!"

"Strong, truly legendary Warrior indeed, you have the courage to wield your blade against stronger foes."

"Alas, the gap in your levels was too wide. His physical body got smashed time and again by you, yet he refused to die."

"And he’s not a vampire, with no apparent weakness like fear of sunlight, undying body, indestructible spirit, nearly a perfect creature."

"You couldn’t take him down in one go, and he seized the chance to counterattack, both surprised and angered. In the end, after his body got crushed by you eight times, he cut you down, a little reminder – his current level is Second Order Perfection: 36."

"In the end, he entered your body with his strange nerve-manipulating techniques; your strong Warrior physique was invaded, your Spirit overflowing. He joyfully took away your corpse."

"Before dying, your heart roared with sorrow and anger: ’Star Tower, are you freaking blind? There’s a Second Rank in the Wasteland, isn’t this obviously hacking? Aren’t you going to ban him with a simple ’A’ hit?’"

"Unfortunately, until the remnant of your consciousness dissipated, you didn’t see Star Tower’s Thunder Light show up, what a faulty thing."

"You’re dead, this journey has ended, settling the account..."

"Evaluation: Don’t be narrow-minded, no exit is an opening? You have your Tai Chu Scroll, he plays with his Second Rank hack, both of you have a bright future."

"You’ve learned a new skill: Cell Resistance (Fine)"

"Cell Resistance (Fine): Your resistance to cellular invasion has increased slightly, now they need to pay a heavier price to take over your wonderful body."

"Today’s opening number: 1/3"

"Cell Resistance? What the hell, what use is that? They even want to invade my body... damn heavenly defiance."

In the room on the 12th floor, Xu Shu, who had just "resurrected," violently shook his head.

Although he experienced ’cellular invasion’ for the first time, this death was sort of refreshing without too much torture.

Just simply being killed, his brain almost accustomed to the sensation of death, thus he managed to shake off the shadow of death in a trance.

After this round of battle, Xu Shu confirmed that, within First Rank, he should be unbeatable in a duel.

This was an undeniable fact.

So he directly faced a Second Rank enemy.

Is it that, invincible on earth, enemies come from heaven?

What’s going on with the local Earth Star Tower?

I had just praised it for handling Earl Lance beautifully, and not even two days of happiness passed before I met this death.

Such a big Second Rank non-human target, can’t you see it?

At this moment, Xu Shu’s slightly inflated confidence in Star Tower was once again shaken.

Previously it was ’better late than never’, but this time, it was uncertain if it would come at all in the end.

Or is it that Divine Chosen in the Wasteland are unlimited?
