The man roared, quickly tightening and wrapping around Josh.

Josh’s eyes flickered slightly, and she swung her longsword to launch several blade attacks, but they only sparked a little when they hit the snake’s skin.

This snake is really tough.

She tried attacking from several different directions, but none worked.

The snake had its weak spot well hidden.

This person is really cautious.

Even at SS grade, facing her as an A-grade Spiritual Power User, he still fought with full force, showing no signs of letting up.

Either he had researched her in advance, or this person was meticulous, a tough opponent.

Josh swapped attacks several more times, getting fiercely knocked back.

"Josh, are you okay?" Mina hurried over, supporting Josh, "Should you... surrender?"

Josh shook off her hand, "Stay back."

An excitement flashed in her eyes as she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "It’s just getting started."

She released more spiritual power, her whole body emitting a golden glow.

The man became alert, staring in Josh’s direction, his tail twitching restlessly.

Josh gripped the longsword in her hand tightly.

The two charged at each other again.

The man’s spiritual power suppression kept increasing; Mina and Sun Qimeng beside him suffered, clutching their heads and screaming in the corner.

Josh’s golden light almost illuminated the entire room.

The intense sound of explosions was endless.

It was the first time Sun Qimeng saw Josh exhibit such powerful strength, holding on for so long against an SS-grade Spiritual Power User, not even showing signs of losing.

Was she always this strong?

Sun Qimeng couldn’t help but be shocked; they had been facing such a terrifying opponent.

With such overwhelming spiritual suppression, Sun Qimeng could feel her nose and eyes about to bleed.

But she seemed completely fine, even able to counterattack effortlessly...

How much strength was this mad woman hiding?

A loud "boom" interrupted her thoughts.

Then a few muffled "bang bang" sounds echoed; it was the sound of a giant object hitting the ground.

The man fell to the ground, the snake’s body breaking into several pieces. After he retracted his spiritual power, the snake’s body turned into light particles and vanished.

The man, severely injured, lay there dying, staring at Josh with a pale face, "Although I was cautious, I still underestimated you. How much do you really have..."

Josh didn’t give him a chance to speak, directly slashing his throat, finishing him off.

To her surprise, equipment dropped.

She thought this person would have a Pass Card or a Resurrection Card.

Such a strong person, yet he didn’t have a single life-saving item?

Bulletin: [Oh my! Our idiot really won?]

[Ahhhhh Dad, you’re my god! Do you know who you killed? That was the powerhouse second only to Yu!]

[Well, Snake Man is dead, Yuze’s strongest opponent was single-handedly defeated by Josh?]

[Not to exaggerate, if I didn’t know this was a live stream, if I didn’t see Snake Man’s name disappear from the ranking and his gear drop, I’d think they were fixing the fight.]

Josh saw these bulletins, frowning slightly, what’s going on?

Is this person really famous?

She’d never seen him before.

Game logout room.

Ma Qi excitedly held Joyce’s hand, "Did you see? A solo kill! A solo kill!"

Joyce was also very excited, "This segment needs to be edited out on its own! It must be edited out separately! It was so cool! Really cool!"

Ma Qi laughed crazily, "This team was always avoiding us. Every time they saw our teammates enter the instance, they would start only then, just to avoid entering the same instance as us. But they still got blocked by Josh, and got blocked big time!"

Inside the instance.

Josh breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground.

Only she knew how dangerous that victory was just now.

She was almost killed; luckily, in the critical moment, another layer of her inner core seal was unlocked, pushing her into the Refining Void stage.

The gemstones stored in the warehouse were all absorbed by her in one go; the spiritual power didn’t even have time to convert before she had already used it.

That’s how she narrowly won against him.

He was cautious, but with her accumulating wounds and slowing speed, he let his guard down.

Otherwise, Josh might not have been able to deliver a killing blow.

Quite a lot of stuff dropped.

Josh delightedly collected everything, taking it into her arms.

She was covered in wounds, losing too much blood, her head buzzing.

"Josh, are you okay?" Mina hurried over to support her.

Josh shook her head, "I’m fine, I..." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

A cold glint flashed; instinctively, she contracted spider silk to strangle.

A "clang" sounded as the dagger fell from Mina’s hand to the ground.

She turned pale, startled, "I’m sorry... Josh... I’m sorry... I-I-I just wanted you..."

She frantically tried to explain.

Josh clutched her stabbed stomach, not giving her a chance to explain; the spider silk instantly wrapped around Mina’s neck, strangling her.

Mina screamed, instantly turning into light particles and disappearing.

No equipment dropped, indicating she used a Pass item.

If she used a Resurrection Card, then she’d be revived at full health, only to...

Be killed by Josh again.

Sun Qimeng looked at her curiously, "If I remember correctly, wasn’t she your friend?"

Josh also looked back curiously, "You make friends in the ’God Creation Game’? You tank players are really simple-minded, aren’t you?"

Sun Qimeng: "..."

Bulletin: [Hahaha, truth revealed.]

[Laughing to death, tank reputation ruined.]

[Suddenly, I don’t find Sun Qimeng so annoying anymore. What’s going on?]

[Love me, love my dog?]

Josh retracted the spider silk, lying on the bed, grinning with pain.

Seeing this, Sun Qimeng let her be.

Josh wasn’t worried about Sun Qimeng trying to sneak attack her.

Love-obsessed brains, like Mina, could backstab others for love.

Also, like Sun Qimeng, able to shake hands with the enemy for love.

Josh mobilized her spiritual power to start healing.

She was reluctant to spend points on recovery potions in the shop.

Soon, she would be an adult; once out, she could exchange points for silver coins and buy more gemstones.

Saving is key.

The gemstones in the warehouse were all used up, leaving a sense of insecurity.

This instance couldn’t be sped up; she had to endure 20 days to get out.

Tonight is the second night; tomorrow is the third day.

Josh looked at her system interface’s attribute value.

Contamination Value 50.

Tomorrow should be a change of personnel.

This instance is too strange; even setting aside these familiar faces, the things in the memories of the two NPCs she killed were too comprehensive.

They don’t seem like NPCs, more like they truly exist in this world.

But the two shared a common point: in their memories, they both made major mistakes before dying and getting captured.
