Chapter 797: Chapter 40: Fight! Beast
Death? Xiao Jie was taken aback; these words are usually spoken by those who sign up for life-or-death missions.
It’s a way to express one’s determination, success or death.
But when the other party said these words, the taste was a bit off.
This dead person—could it be ? Seeing the smile on the other person’s face, Xiao Jie suddenly understood—it was himself.
This guy wants to fight to the death, and if soone dies, it will surely be ; it’s not like I can solo kill him…
[System prompt: Trigger the profession trial [Fight, Beast!], engage in a life-and-death struggle with the Demon Refiner Qin Shou to complete the final test, gain satori in the secrets of Demon Beast Evolution. In this mode, you cannot use any consumable items, and doing so will automatically fail the trial. This trial is a one-off event, and refusal will be considered a failure of your profession quest.
Warning: The profession trial carries certain risks, so choose carefully.]
Xiao Jie felt his heart tighten; they even warned him specially. This is quite dangerous, even though logic dictates that such profession quests shouldn’t really result in death. In a normal ga, it’s usually just a phase for players, and the so-called life-and-death struggle is just a facade that triggers corresponding plot, completing the test.
But in this ga, Xiao Jie dares not interpret it that way; there’s a real possibility of actual death.
However, you can’t get the tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den. The more dangerous the profession quest, the more difficult it is, which ans the rewards are also more abundant.
To beco the pinnacle existence among players, naturally, more effort must be made, and Xiao Jie resolutely steeled his mind.
What is there to fear, with my current strength, I should be able to defend a bit, and if not, I can still use Phantom Traceless Escape Light Talisman to get away.
This skill combo can be said to be Xiao Jie’s Sea-Calming Needle; as long as there’s this big move, I can just fool around.
“Since you say so, senior, the junior naturally cannot refuse. Alright, then let’s go.” Xiaojie’s straightforwardness quickly found admiration from Qin Shou, who comnted with praise, “Good lad, there are a few guts in you, then I won’t be polite—brace yourself!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure instantly pounced towards Xiao Jie.
Not using any weapon, just clawing forward.
Damn, this is starting! Even though Xiao Jie was ntally prepared, he was startled by the sudden attack. Fortunately, his reflexes were quick.
With an Assassin’s Step, he dodged the frontal assault and slashed out in turn!
One Cut, Two Pieces!
Clang! The slash was caught by a giant claw, Qin Shou’s arms seed like magic, able to transform freely between different forms such as arms, beast claws, and crab pincers.
At this mont, the giant claw held Xiao Jie’s Dragon Tooth Blade firmly, unable to move.
A breakout bar appeared on the screen, but no matter how furiously Xiao Jie pressed the mouse trying to break free, the breakout bar remained unmoved.
“Kid, beasts don’t have knives or swords or such, let help you get rid of them.”
With a flick, Xiao Jie’s Dragon Tooth Blade flew out of his hand.
A DEBUFF appeared above his head—Disarm.
[Disarm: Your weapon has been dismantled by the opponent, unable to use weapons for combat.]
This disard state doesn’t really take away his weapon, Xiao Jie’s equipnt panel’s Dual Blades hasn’t disappeared either; it’s actually a special negative state.
Xiao Jie is not unfamiliar with this state; the martial artist’s Empty-handed Blade Seizing skill can cause this effect, but usually, it lasts only about ten seconds. However, this disarm seems constant, probably won’t recover until the trial is completed.
Xiao Jie secretly lanted, evading with Phantom Traceless, constantly retreating from Qin Shou’s pounce.
All along, he’s always used saber skills as his main combat skill. Even after changing professions to Beast Tar, Qi Refiner, and even advanced to Demon Refiner, he hasn’t changed.
One reason is habit; human behavioral inertia is very stubborn, and the other is with equipnt upgrades and skill enhancents, the saber skill’s damage also grows accordingly—if sothing could be solved with a slash, then there’s no need to exert extra effort.
Suddenly without a weapon, it’s really uncomfortable.
But Xiao Jie, after all, is a professional player, often going through various skill trainings and different scene rehearsals.
Though surprised, he wasn’t panicking; besides saber skills, he has many skills indeed.
Jiao Claw Fierce Strike!
Facing Qin Shou’s renewed attack, Xiao Jie decisively switched combat strategy.
Bang, crab pincers and Jiao Claw collided, Xiao Jie was directly sent flying, crashing onto the ground.
(Such powerful strength! This guy’s strength value is estimated to be at least 150!) Xiao Jie thought silently.
Although not known for strength, due to attribute enhancents from Demon Core, his strength itself isn’t low, and Jiao Claw Fierce Strike, which Xiao Jie has tested, has a very high strength bonus, with resilience reducing effects quite strong, almost comparable to the effects of dual-handed heavy weapons.
Hardly budged in the collision, directly sending him flying instead, his strength must be at least three tis Xiao Jie’s own to do it.
Not only is the strength strong, but the speed is also extrely fast.
Before Xiao Jie could get up, Qin Shou had already leaped into the air, a Dapeng Spreads Wings smashing down head-on.
Xiao Jie hurriedly dodged with Lazy Donkey Roll, followed by Wulong Jiao Pillar, his body quickly leaping up.
