Xiao Jie felt a chill in his heart, damn, this guy can actually regenerate health?
Isn’t the damn Boss supposed to be unable to regenerate health—wait a minute, damn!
Xiao Jie suddenly realized, this guy is not a Boss!
He had always been studying the various mechanics of this game. Although the Bosses in this game have high intelligence, they are like traditional online game Bosses and do not have the ability to regenerate health.
Even a Magic System Boss like Wang Xie, with powerful spells that are Heavenly and Earthly, wouldn’t know even the most basic Healing Magic.
Xiao Jie speculated that this is probably for game balance, after all, the game is difficult enough; if Bosses could regenerate health, players would have no chance.
No matter how magical the game is, the designers have designed it according to the rules of a game.
This point had been proven countless times, so this time he instinctively arranged his strategy with this in mind.
However, at this moment, he suddenly realized, Hongchen is not a Boss!
Although Worldly Experts are not as powerful as Bosses, they have more functionality. They can regenerate health with Spells and even consume elixirs.
This was a blind spot, or perhaps a dark spot under the lamp, leading to catastrophic consequences at this moment.
It’s over! There’s really no way to fight now.
Master Hongchen is a Qi Refiner at the Extraordinary to Saint Level with more Spiritual Energy than him, with tens of thousands of Spiritual Energy Value, isn’t that like using hundreds of thousands of Blood Volume?
You must know that Qi Healing Skill can restore 10 Blood Volume with 1 point of Spiritual Energy, and the Blood Volume can be fully restored in ten seconds.
Since the Qi Healing Skill is so effective, why did Master Hongchen forcibly interrupt the Spell?
Xiao Jie’s mind quickly turned and quickly found the reason.
Master Hongchen’s goal is Ascension to Immortality, and to achieve that, he must absorb sufficient Spiritual Energy. His Qi Refining Skill Level should be above Transcendent but not fully Ascended.
There’s still a gap of several thousand Spiritual Energy to the Ten Layers of Qi Refining Skill, the specific difference is unknown.
So, he wants to seize his Golden Core, absorbing the Spiritual Energy inside to complete the final Ascension.
But this creates a problem, the Spiritual Energy inside the Golden Core cannot be completely refined, resulting in significant loss during absorption.
You know, each of the three Dragon Balls he refined only yielded six to seven thousand Spiritual Energy Value. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel fire.net
Could his strength surpass those three dragons? Obviously not, so his Golden Core probably only contains a maximum of five to six thousand Spiritual Energy Value at best.
Even if his Golden Core was incredibly pure and could refine a little more Spiritual Energy, it’s estimated to be no more than ten thousand, specific values would be hard to determine.
Thus, if Hongchen wants to Ascend to Immortality through the Golden Core, he cannot afford to consume too much of his own Spiritual Energy.
The more he consumes, the higher the chance of Ascension failure.
So initially, he was even reluctant to use even a bit of Spiritual Energy, only using Qi Refining Secret Skill when forced beyond tolerance.
And Qi Healing Skill is different from ordinary Qi Refining Secret Skill, it can fully restore Blood Volume at once, consuming hundreds of Spiritual Energy Value to restore it all at once, so Master Hongchen dared not use it casually.
When used, it was done stingily.
Given that, rather than attack his Blood Volume, it’s better to deplete his Spiritual Energy.
At this moment, everyone once again engaged in battle with Hongchen.
However, morale was evidently low since facing a Boss capable of regenerating health makes everyone uncertain.
At this time, Yuan Bai also approached, "Second brother, is it my turn now!" Yuan Bai said eagerly.
Xiao Jie’s heart stirred, "It is your turn, but the usual method might be ineffective, you’ve seen how strong Hongchen is, can your Saber Skill surpass his?"
"Although not entirely confident, it’s worth a try."
"It’s useless, even if you injure him, he can use Qi Healing Skill to recover and continue fighting, but there might be a technique to break his secret technique." Xiao Jie instructed Yuan Bai.
Yuan Bai was momentarily surprised, "That old Ghost has lived for tens of thousands of years, will this move really work?"
"Whether or not it works, only trying will tell." Xiao Jie wasn’t sure himself, but given the current situation, this strategy had the greatest hope for success.
Otherwise, in a regular fight, if Master Hongchen is pushed to the edge, he will surely use Qi Healing Skill to regenerate health, and they would never know how long the battle would last. Though they brought many elixirs, they really may not outlast him, and the longer the battle drags, the more likely mistakes will occur. If he seizes the opportunity to instantly kill one or two of them, it would not end well.
"Okay, I’ll fight him first, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll use your battle tactic. I’m going in!"
Seeing Jiu Jianxian and Xia Yi the Unrivaled being forced back once more, Yuan Bai, with a Phantom Traceless, charged forward.
"Old Ghost, let me take you on." With that, he slashed towards Hongchen.
Hongchen, upon seeing, uttered with a "Hmm," clearly recognizing the uniqueness of this person.
Using a branch as a sword, he parried and counterattacked, the White Ape’s strike missed, disappearing in a flash.
White Ape Shadow Stepping — Phantom Traceless!
Following Xiao Jie without pause every three seconds, the White Ape user’s Phantom Traceless had no cooldown.
In a moment, Yuan Bai flashed seven times around Hongchen, leaving afterimages each time due to the extreme speed, appearing as seven White Ape figures in an instant.
Each flash unleashed a slash, seven slashes in a moment.
Yet despite such fierce offensive, in the air sounded seven consecutive Blocks, so dense as to seem like one.
