Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

The Overlord's Domain has no fancy skills, only simple and ever-increasing power.

Of course, with Chen Xi's current strength, he can defeat a mere second-day level of Misfortune without needing Gu Yi to buy time and increase his strength.

And it is...

Sold out instantly!

Chen Xi's legs moved like springs; after a simple gathering of strength, he shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

Pfft!

The difference in strength at the moment of collision was greater than anyone had imagined.

The Rhino Man perfectly exemplifies what it means to be all looks and no substance!

Chen Xi pierced his stomach with his elbow.

The rhinoceros-man's belly had a hole large enough for a soccer player to slide through.

Immediately, the rhinoceros-man collapsed like a soulless piece of flesh, its massive and heavy body causing the ground to tremble slightly and raising a few specks of dust that no one paid any attention to.

Holy crap!

"The spiciness hasn't worn off yet!"

As if sensing Yang Wei's displeasure, the rhinoceros-man grew taller again!

And the hole in her stomach closed up the moment she stood up.

Then he exhaled again, and his body grew even larger.

Super-fast regeneration?

Chen Xi quickly came up with this word.

The rhinoceros attacked again, and Chen Xi met it head-on.

"My strength has indeed increased, though not by much..."

Chen Xi murmured to himself. This time, he didn't go for the kill, but instead observed the enemy while fighting.

At the same time, it keeps moving in a certain direction.

They were getting further and further away from Yang Wei and the others.

After getting some distance away, Yan Mingliang finally realized what was happening:

"Wow, Chen Xi is really pushing the limits of cost-effectiveness!"

"It won't delay our progress, and it will also accelerate our advancement—a win-win situation!" I said.

After saying that, he patted Yang Wei, who was occasionally elbowing the author, and the three of them followed.

"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!"

They played like that for an hour.

During this time, the rhinoceros exhaled three times, and each time it exhaled, the opponent became larger and stronger.

The rhinoceros will breathe fire once every 20 minutes, and it will immediately recover and breathe fire once after dying.

These are the conclusions Chen Xi made within the past hour.

Unfortunately, the Rhino Man's rate of growth is incomparable to that of the [Overlord's Domain]. Despite exhaling so many times, the gap between them only widens.

Now Chen Xi can easily kill his opponent.

After smashing the rhinoceros's head once more, the creature stood up again and exhaled, its body growing larger with the force of the exhalation, seemingly without limit.

"I see......"

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes as he sized up the rhinoceros-man who had just finished a burst of steam.

Misfortune will strike within 24 hours.

The Rhino can puff out 3 times per hour, plus the time it appears when it appears. Not counting resurrections after death, this Unlucky can puff out at least 73 times!

That is, you can become stronger at least 73 times. Although the increase in strength is not high each time, the quantitative change leads to the qualitative change.

After becoming stronger dozens of times, even if you weren't very good at first, you'll become quite troublesome.

Chen Xi's original intention was to see if this misfortune could be dealt with by delaying tactics.

If similar misfortunes occur in the future, Chen Xi can use the current, lower-cost method to conduct experiments.

Unfortunately, it failed; the delaying tactic was ineffective.

The Rhino gets a boost every 20 minutes, and immediately recovers and gets a boost again after death.

This puts you in a dilemma: whether to kill him or not.

They have to fight the rhinoceros for 24 hours straight, and once the 24 hours are up, the misfortune of the third day will strike again!

An endless vicious cycle.

It is extremely difficult to level up continuously in the Doom Zone!

However, there's always someone who can handle this situation, since there's always a place for every radish.

For example, Chen Xi!

After fully understanding the situation, Chen Xi suddenly found an onion-shaped object in his hand.

The Primal Seed!

The one in Chen Xi's hand is not the original, but a derivative.

This body will be fixed in the right chest, becoming Chen Xi's second heart, and playing the role of "substitute death".

"Substitute Death" is the first stage ability of the Primal Seed, corresponding to the Transcendent I level.

The second stage ability is "Burying," which corresponds to the Extraordinary II level.

The abilities of forbidden items differ from the extraordinary characteristics of the normal stage. The power of each unlocked ability is not a matter of strength, but only of type.

But visually, what comes out later is definitely stronger than what comes out in front, because you are stronger at that time!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xi threw out the Primal Seed.

The seed hovered above the rhinoceros-man's head, then rippled downwards in a continuous pattern.

The whole scene looked like a UFO.

The rhinoceros-man's behavior was not affected, but its size was slowly decreasing.

The rhinoceros-man, driven by instinct, doesn't have the brain to think about these things. Its heart is as pure as an 18-year-old boy, focused solely on action!

With two howls, it charged towards Chen Xi with agile steps. Chen Xi stood still, head slightly lowered, and kicked the rhinoceros man who was no match for him.

At this moment, a bright green fruit, about the size of an olive, materialized in his hand.

Ignoring the rhinoceros-man who was preparing to attack again, Chen Xi walked straight to Yang Wei and the others and handed them the emerald green fruit:

"This is the 'downgrade' of the Primordial Seed's third-stage ability."

"The ability to 'downgrade' is terrifying; it can permanently slow down a target's progress, although it takes a long time."

This is also why Chen Xi did not "demote" the power at that time, but instead "buried" it.

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he shoved the bright green fruit into Yang Wei's hands:

"Demotion is like love; it doesn't disappear, it just transfers. The permanently decreased progress will be returned to me as experience points. If you consume this, you can directly increase your progress!"

These are Chen Xi's three abilities from the Primal Seed: "Substitute Death," "Bury," and "Demotion."

Stage III does not have the concept of experience points, so "downgrading" at most means feeding a person down to 0% progress in Stage III.

Unlike the first two abilities, the main ability of "downgrading" is cultivation.

Although it has combat capabilities, it takes too long to take effect.

"Boss, you're awesome!" Yang Wei exclaimed, completely stunned. "Holy crap, my progress has been boosted!"

"I'm one step closer to Tier III!"

Yang Wei said excitedly, "Besides being able to see this point, I'm a burden in every way at level II. It would be a lie to say I don't want to get stronger."

Chen Xi nodded; it seemed the elaborate scheme was working.

As the rhino man gets weaker, the experience points he gives become less and less satisfactory. Fortunately, he has the ability to immediately recover and become stronger after death.

In Chen Xi and Yang Wei's eyes, this became a perfect experience package.

"kill!"

"Aww!!!"

"kill!"

"Aww!!"

"kill!"

"Aww!"

"kill!"

"Aww~"

Although the Rhino Man has been getting stronger, his momentum is getting weaker and weaker.

Finally, on the 100th exhalation, it exploded on the spot.

"So this thing has an upper limit..."

Chen Xi murmured to himself, the progress had increased to 2% of Tier III, and the progress increase meant the end of the misfortune.

Yang Wei's experience level is stuck at 90% of Tier II. Unfortunately, this "downgrade" is permanent, so the speed is very slow, resulting in a small accumulation of fruits.

Chen Xi originally intended to fatten them up in one go and kill them slowly, but unexpectedly they died on the spot!

There are still 22 hours, 27 minutes, and 16 seconds left until the third day of misfortune arrives; there's still plenty of time.

Everyone is safe for now.

"Yang Wei, what did you want to say to me before?"

Chen Xi, who was walking at the front, asked without turning his head.

Yang Wei was initially immersed in the joy of the progress, but after being asked by Chen Xi, he immediately realized what was going on:

"I want to say my name!"

"The name on that white creature's head is the same as the Black Tower Sphere's."

"Same?"

"Yes!" Yang Wei nodded seriously, "It's also called the Black Tower!"
