[Your accessory: Scorpion-tailed Lion’s Sting +7 Special Effect: Poison Burst dealt 2445 points of poison damage to Zavala’s critical areas like seven orifices.]

[Zavala’s eyeballs, eardrums, and other critical areas suffered significant damage and fell into a permanent state of disability!]

Zavala’s eyes, ear holes, and other vulnerable spots simultaneously burst with blood, and he coughed up a large amount of foul blood from his mouth.

"To actually achieve such a battle result..."

Bai Pu was pleasantly surprised, but he also knew this was probably because Zavala came from a remote and primitive Beastman Tribe, likely lacking a decent Advanced Fighting Qi Cultivation Method to resist the invading toxins, allowing the poison to accumulate in critical areas.

Currently, the Scorpion-tailed Lion’s Sting prioritizes poison resistance up to 9 points. Against Enhanced Warriors who have cultivated impressive Fighting Qi Cultivation Methods, like Tokesen, a student from War God Peak, they would certainly have a way to use Fighting Qi to resist the poison, just like Bai Pu fends off the Voodoo Curse.

Because toxins in essence are also exotic energy invasions.

Concerning those at the Lord Level, like Munis, there’s even less to worry about.

Anyway, for Zavala, who does not have a high enough priority for resistance, the effect of the Scorpion-tailed Lion’s Sting is overwhelming.

Zavala’s Life Value plummeted to near death, and he fell into a state of complete loss of vision and hearing. He attempted to speak, but his vocal cords were already ruined by the poison, leaving only a hissing sound.

Bai Pu stepped forward to attack, decapitating the Enhanced Warrior with one stroke.

The remaining few beastmen were battling Spider Demon Warriors on the outer perimeter.

The level of the Spider Demon Warriors followed Bai Pu’s, rising to Level 7, with attributes equivalent to Level 7 Warriors of the Spirit Realm.

The combat specialization and skills of these Spider Demons also benefit from Bai Pu’s [Limit Breaker], granting them a higher combat power than typical Level 7 Warriors.

However, without the World Waymark’s blood volume bonus, their survivability is insufficient. Their inability to comprehend Mystical Arts also limits their potential.

But it was enough to entangle these few beastmen.

Bai Pu still diverted half of his Fighting Qi to resist the Voodoo Curse, leaving enough Fighting Qi to take out the beastmen warriors one by one.

It is worth mentioning that defeating an entire team of Beastman Warriors only dropped two small Golden Spoils Treasure Chests for Bai Pu.

Fortunately, Zavala, the Beastman Leader, still dropped a Large Golden Treasure Chest belonging to an Enhanced Warrior, and similarly, the Celestial Wolf, a Level 9 Awakener, left behind a Bloody Treasure Chest upon death.

After the intense battle, Bai Pu still retained a portion of the Sandfall Fighting Qi.

This was due to his Sandfall Fighting Qi being a fusion of magic power and Fighting Qi, with a current total amount as high as 1800 points.

A typical Level 7 Enhanced Hero—someone who has broken through in the Professional Plane, with a base priority increased to 5 points—should have professional energy around 1200 points, with a deviation of no more than 200, based on the data Bai Pu previously gathered.

Bai Pu patrolled around the entrance of the Secret Collection Hall, finding two security personnel slumped on the ground.

After a check, he confirmed that both were beyond saving, shook his head, and returned to the Secret Collection Hall to clean up the battlefield.

The shield devoured Zavala’s body, recovering durability slowly, then Bai Pu stored it in the Storage Space. As for the other beastmen and the Celestial Wolf’s bodies, he tossed them outside the Secret Collection Hall entrance.

Bai Pu also restored the slightly disheveled bookshelves and tomes to their original positions.

After completing all this, Bai Pu slightly frowned, feeling the exotic energy of the Voodoo Curse still invading. He had to divert his Fighting Qi to resist it, leaving his Fighting Qi unable to naturally recover.

To be safe, Bai Pu downed a Strong Energy Potion and then sat at the administrator’s desk to open the Spoils Treasure Chests. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He started with the two small Golden Treasure Chests, each granting one draw.

Bai Pu obtained a piece of Golden Equipment from each, neither of which had particularly notable attributes or skills compared to his current equipment, so he stored them temporarily, considering them as "support burning equipment" needed for the enhancement of Dark Gold Equipment.

Zavala’s Large Golden Treasure Chest granted Bai Pu two draw chances.

[You obtained Miscellaneous Item: Zavala’s Tiger Skin Underpants. Sale can earn 15,000 Spiritual Points.]

[You obtained an Item: Voodoo Curse Scroll.]

Bai Pu immediately sold the tiger skin underpants, dismissing any thought of admiration.

[Voodoo Curse Scroll] was an ancient beast skin with dark red blood-written eerie patterns on it, resembling a blood eye, emitting a pungent odor.

[Voodoo Curse Scroll: D-level Golden Artifact. Upon use, the target enters a cursed state, losing 1 point of Power, Agility, Endurance, and Spirit per minute, and losing 100 points of Life Value; this effect doubles each minute, lasting for up to 5 minutes.]

[Tip: If a beastman who worships the Shamanism of the Voodoo Sect uses the Voodoo Curse Scroll and earns its acknowledgement, the effect can be made permanent unless it is dispelled by a targeted ability with a priority above (9).]

"If the opponent hasn’t cultivated an advanced technique, they won’t be able to resist the curse with energy. The 5-minute curse duration can result in a total loss of 31 points in all attributes and 3100 points of Life Value! It’s indeed powerful."

Bai Pu silently assessed in his mind, "Unfortunately, strong enemies often cultivate high-level advanced techniques, with pure energy within them, enough to resist the curse, or at least slow its invasion."

Bai Pu carefully stored the scroll.

Even though it can be resisted by pure energy, when the opponent is defending against the curse’s energy, their energy used for combat will significantly decrease.

So this scroll is still quite useful, especially when used against strong foes; it effectively imposes a negative state reducing energy output on the opponent.

Suddenly, a "boom" of thunder rumbled from outside, as if lightning had sliced through the sky, lighting up the windows of the Secret Collection Hall for a moment.

"Dry thunder?"

Bai Pu ran to the window of the Secret Collection Hall to look outside.

In the teaching area at Garrison Academy, a slightly thin figure was suspended in mid-air.

The thin figure merely made a gesture, and lightning again streaked through the air, the blinding light causing Bai Pu to lower his head and close his eyes!

However, in that moment of light, Bai Pu also identified this person.

With a full beard and a skinny frame, this evidently was Garrison’s Principal Bosh!

Seeing Bosh in anger, Bai Pu knew it was part of the Superstar Alliance’s plan.

First, someone was sent to lure away Principal Bosh, then the previous undercover Xilou brought outsiders to sneak in and steal the tomes of the Secret Collection Hall!

The Superstar Alliance probably arranged experts to hold off other high-level combat forces at Garrison Academy, which is why Bai Pu, Tokesen, Zavala, and others fought for so long without any reinforcement arriving.
