Sigh!

After the fight, I couldn’t even perceive what abilities the enemy had. I’m still too weak.

....

"Huh!!"

The extreme cold shockwave howled, and the white light nearly covered all of Zhen Yue’s vision. But he wasn’t flustered; he calmly focused his energy to use his retaliatory strike to the fullest, letting the Black Tortoise Illusion absorb and harness some of the ice’s power.

You know, the Black Tortoise belongs to the water attribute and is naturally cold, allowing it to better absorb the opponent’s power when facing the Ice Dragon’s breath, which is his advantage.

Hmph!

I admit your strength is remarkable; whether in the quality or quantity of your Spiritual Energy, it’s exceedingly powerful. The Ice Dragon construct you use is exceptionally realistic, capable of unleashing raw power nearing that of a Legendary Level Spiritualist.

However, this is where it ends!

I am a Legendary Level Spiritualist of ultimate strength! I am a man who has defeated a Level 10 Dominator! There’s no way I could be defeated twice in the same battlefield by the same opponent! I will turn your failure into my glory!

The Black Tortoise Illusion’s spine covered with ice, as if it had grown scales of extreme coldness, burst forth with an even more terrifying presence. It raised its head, gathering in its mouth, a breath of dark green mingled with the extreme cold.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, as the extreme cold breath ended, a massive silhouette broke through the ice mist, just like the War Tyrant in past times breaking through endless dust to reach the battlefield, raising a massive Ice Spear high to attack with a downward thrust.

"Black Tortoise Breath!"

Zhen Yue roared furiously, and the Black Tortoise Illusion unleashed a breath mixed with extreme cold power. The dark green ray erupted into terrifying brilliance, instantly colliding with the Ice Spear.

"Boom!!!"

The terrifying momentum erupted in an instant, as shattered ice scattered across the sky. The dark green breath destroyed the ice construct Tyrant, and Zhen Yue’s face showed a relieved and satisfied smile, as if the gloom in his heart had also been dispelled, giving a feeling of great comfort.

I won!

The prison of fate!

Don’t even think about shackling me!

The next moment, he suddenly sensed a vague anomaly beside him. The intuition born from combat instinct made him quickly turn around and look behind him.

The original Tang Ruobing had already turned into countless fragments of cold ice and scattered, while inside the Black Tortoise Illusion stood another Tang Ruobing in a charging stance, her fist glowing with extreme cold light.

Ah?

Zhen Yue suddenly felt a bit bewildered. He couldn’t understand; isn’t this guy a Mage? Why is she inside the Black Tortoise Illusion? Why is she standing so close to me? How did she silently come to this place? What on earth is going on?

Although there were many questions, he instinctively raised his Steel Giant Shield to try and resist, but at this moment the Steel Giant Shield had already been frozen.

His Power Attribute wasn’t weak, allowing him to break through the ice and lift the shield, but at this moment, even a brief delay could be fatal.

Bu Hao!

"You’re paying too much attention to him."

Tang Ruobing’s cold voice came out, followed by the swift swing of her fist, emanating a highly condensed extreme cold power.

In a rush, Zhen Yue used his Great Sword to block, as terrifying cold air enveloped him, and countless notifications from the Spirit Realm Interface Panel flooded the screen.

But what was even more terrifying was the power she unleashed, an irresistible force blooming instantly. Under Zhen Yue’s incomprehensible gaze, he was directly sent flying by Tang Ruobing with a single punch, flying far away like a cannonball, the Black Tortoise Illusion dissolving with it.

And Tang Ruobing, standing casually in the original position, waved her hand calmly and looked in the direction Zhen Yue flew, raised her Magic Staff to cast spells. Under the Extreme Cold Domain’s enhancement, several giant ice walls instantly rose up from the ground to stop the flying Zhen Yue, allowing him to take the full extent of the damage.

Worthy of Dominator Level equipment!

Tang Ruobing’s earrings flickered slightly; these were her exclusive Dominator Level equipment, with strong amplification. Its unique effect could temporarily convert Mental Attributes to Power.

Of course, if that was all it did, it wouldn’t unleash such strong effect. More terrifying was that these earrings could convert Spiritual Strength amplification to Power determination, enabling her to unleash exceptionally powerful Physical Attacks.

However, merely using physical attacks would waste the power of these Dominator Level equipment.

First, apply spells to maximize status and power amplifications, then, at the moment of punching, utilize the equipment effect to convert into Power, thereby gaining both spell and physical double enhancements, exploding with the highest intensity of terrifying attacks.

Once spells are cast, their strength won’t change due to the caster’s Spirit and Spiritual Strength alterations. As long as pre-settings are done well, it yields complete positive returns, which isn’t difficult for Tang Ruobing.

The main difficulty lay in how to approach this guy and deliver the punch.

To set up, Tang Ruobing precoated extreme cold over the entire field, used large-scale attacks multiple times, combined Ice Magic with Light Magic to form Optical Invisibility, used Spiritual Concealment, preventing Zhen Yue from perceiving her approach, then quietly found an opportunity to enter the Black Tortoise Illusion’s interior.

And that’s how it was done.

After all, no one would expect a Mage to actively approach a Tank System. Although Zhen Yue was a Veteran Warrior, such a scenario was too outrageous to detect an anomaly.

"Boom!!"

Zhen Yue crashed heavily into the ice wall, embedding deeply into it, creating a terrifying pit. The edges of the pit were filled with fine, long cracks, which were rapidly healing, extending further, trying to completely engulf and restrain him.

"Pfft!"

He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, his chest heaving rapidly, and a significant portion of his elongated health bar was knocked off by just that punch.

It’s important to know that Zhen Yue, as a Level 10 Legendary Limit Tank Spiritualist, losing one-third of his health with a single punch meant that a typical Level 10 Hero Spiritualist could be killed instantly with one punch.

"Bang!"

Zhen Yue pulled out his arm, staring intently at Tang Ruobing in the distance, saying, "I must admit, your strength is formidable, even greater than I imagined, but if it’s just this, it’s not enough to defeat me."

"Is that so?"

A cold voice emerged, surprisingly coming from not far in front of Zhen Yue, rather than from the direction where he saw Tang Ruobing casting spells.

Is this... Optical Invisibility?

And with such high mastery in invisibility?

Normally, Zhen Yue wouldn’t fear Mages utilizing Optical Invisibility, as their main aim using it is self-preservation. Under invisibility, they can’t release overly powerful spells, or they’d expose their position.

But the problem now was, Tang Ruobing wasn’t orthodox Mage. Her total Spiritual Energy was exceedingly high, enabling her to use High-speed Cutoff Spellcasting, simplifying the spell amplification process, and then just use brute force with her fists, delivering extremely high damage.

Damn it!

This guy is a freak too!

Zhen Yue gritted his teeth, carefully observing the surroundings, not missing the slightest movement, while inwardly he couldn’t help but shout: I possess the Rebound passive, maybe when she attacks, she’ll also lose a lot of health from the rebound damage.

She is Hero Level, and the health of a Hero Level is limited. A few more rounds of Broken Star herself would die from rebound damage... No! She’s a Mage! What if she uses spells to heal herself?

Bu Hao!

The next moment, Tang Ruobing’s figure suddenly appeared directly in front of Zhen Yue, her fist once again bursting with brilliant extreme cold radiance.

[Black Tortoise Illusion]

Zhen Yue instantly unleashed his Talent; since the overly large Black Tortoise Illusion could be cracked by unknown means, he’d directly reduce the scale enough that it couldn’t be breached.

Hmph! You can’t kill me!

"Boom!!"

The extreme cold fist struck the Black Tortoise Illusion, unleashing an unimaginable and terrifying shockwave, the chill and power covering the entire arena, with notifications flooding the screen again.

Within the Black Tortoise Illusion, Zhen Yue inexplicably spat out blood, bewilderedly watching his rapidly dropping health bar, his body with no sense of change or perception, not even understanding why he lost health.

Then, with his perplexed gaze, his health bar was entirely emptied.

[Battle Victory]

[Your ranking has risen to second place]

"Why?"

Zhen Yue’s voice trembled as he asked.

"My Spiritual Energy attributes are special, possessing some traits of Erosion and Corruption. When you are eroded, your body is simultaneously corrupted, unable to perceive the erosion until death without ever sensing it," Tang Ruobing smiled as she replied.

There’s no need to hide this fact, as Zhen Yue would see it on the Spirit Realm Interface Panel once he returned.

"Monster!"

Zhen Yue died with resentment.
