Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

[World Announcement! In the name of the Holy Light, we proclaim glory! The Angelic player "Saint Gamir" has successfully achieved the first kill of the world boss "Corrupted Abyss Dragon Teyaramark" in "Sighing Canyon"! A legendary feat accomplished! Rewards include the title "Lone Dragon Slayer," the legendary equipment "Wings of the Abyss Dragon," +100000 World Reputation, and a 200% experience gain bonus for all members of the "Angelic Court" faction for three days! May the Holy Light shine forever!]

[World Announcement! ...]

[World Announcement! ...]

After the announcement was repeated three times, the world channel was immediately flooded with exclamations of amazement, envy, and insults in various languages.

The Blue Star faction channel immediately erupted in chaos:

"Holy crap! First kill of a world boss! And a legendary one at that!"

"Are the angels that powerful? They've already soloed a dragon?"

"Saint Gamir...that name sounds awesome!"

"Damn it, they've already slain the dragon, and we're still fighting pig-headed men for territory..."

"What's there to be afraid of? They've been here for so many years, and we've only been here a short time! Sooner or later, we'll be able to compete with them!"

Then the content in the channel changed again:

"A group of level 15 pigmen has been detected in the Dark Jungle at coordinates 159,549!"

"A Stone Giant has spawned in the Shattered Wilds, coordinates 669, 758!"

"New players beware! There may be troll players in the level 7 monster area. Do not venture out alone!"

"I got an epic belt, check out the stats, DM me if you want it~"

Liu Nian didn't continue reading. He had already reached level 5 and could now learn three skills.

Skill 3, Unstoppable Force (Level 1, 50 CD, 120 Mana Cost): You are immune to crowd control effects. You charge into the target area, dealing magic damage equal to (80% of your maximum health + 80% of your ability power) and launching all enemies into the air for 1.5 seconds.

The damage bonus is very high, but the cooldown is too long. However, it can be used as an initiator, a controller, and a damage dealer, making it an invaluable skill!

However, he only has one gold skill stone left, so he'll hold off and save it for Endless Fury.

After all, survival skills are extremely important in this game; once you die, it's all over!

Liu Nian's current panel attributes are:

Name: Liu Nian

[Level: LV.5]

[HP: 805/911]

Energy: 309/500

Attack: 25

[Faqiang: 15]

Armor: 20

[Magic Resistance: 5]

Attack Speed: 0.66

[Heart of Steel: 134 floors, provides 387 health]

【Soul Drain Strike: 112 stacks, provides 206 damage】

[Hellish Curse: 15 stacks, grants 15 armor and spell power]

……

"I'm slowly grinding away!" Liu Nian looked at his stats and felt pretty good.

The level 3 vicious dog only has 120 health points, but because it is an active attack type, Liu Nian can use Soul Drain Strike to kill the vicious dog in one punch after triggering the Heart of Steel effect, thus killing two birds with one stone.

It's limited by the cooldown (CD) and you have to wait 18 seconds.

However, this efficiency has already far exceeded the expectations of other players.

Heart Steel can now deal 57 damage, Soul Drain can deal 236 damage, and a single punch will deal 293 damage!

Let alone a level 3 dog, even a level 5 Windwalker can be one-shotted!

After killing so many dogs, he didn't get a second ring. Instead, he got a bunch of useless daggers and dog teeth. It seemed that his luck had run out at the beginning.

Liu Nian continued farming dogs, and before he knew it, he had ventured deep into one of the caves. At this point, there were no other players around, which was, of course, intentional on his part.

Just as the hundredth vicious dog turned into white light and disappeared, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave!

The entire cave seemed to tremble at the roar, and pebbles fell from the rock walls.

Immediately afterwards, a strong stench of decay appeared, accompanied by heavy footsteps, and a huge black shadow rushed out from the depths of the cave!

It was three times the size of a normal vicious dog, resembling a small calf.

The body was covered in a mixture of rotting flesh and white bones, constantly dripping corrosive slime. On its enormous head, a pair of eyes burned with pure malice and madness.

【Crazy Rotten Dog King LV.5 (BOSS)】

Its excessively long health bar lit up instantly, roughly estimated to be at least 1000 points!

"They've finally arrived!" Liu Nian's eyes narrowed.

If you use this to farm Heart Steel from the BOSS, you'll gain at least 30 HP!

That's equivalent to killing 15 dogs!

But seeing the dog king's ferocious teeth and the eerie light gleaming on its claws, as well as the slime constantly corroding the ground around him, he immediately dismissed this unrealistic idea.

It's better to play it safe. We can wait until we have a chance to capture a few players from the opposing faction, tie them to tree trunks, and then farm them like we do with dummies in training mode. That would be a much safer approach...

His goal now is to get the epic ring, so he must finish this quickly!

"roar!"

The dog king didn't care what Liu Nian was thinking. It stomped its hind legs on the ground and transformed into a putrid hurricane that pounced on Liu Nian's head with its blood-red maw!

Liu Nian dodged to the side, but the dog king took the opportunity to scratch him with its paw!

-185!

A huge damage number popped up above his head!

"Holy crap, that much damage? No wonder so few people dare to farm here..."

At the same time, the passive effect of the Deliberate Punch was frantically absorbing damage, and the battle spirit bar instantly increased by a large margin! The alluring circular mark on the Dog King's chest also lit up simultaneously!

Liu Nianying unleashed his right fist, which had been poised to strike!

Duang!!

-76!

[Heart of Steel activated! Maximum Health +42!]

The fact that the damage from Heart of Steel wasn't fully inflicted must be because the Dog King's defensive attributes mitigated some of the damage.

Liu Nian's maximum lifespan instantly increased to 953!

Therefore, we can deduce that the Dog King has about 1400 HP.

The dog king, in pain, became even more ferocious, turning around and biting Liu Nian, then throwing him away!

-355!

-20

-20

-20

……

Battle Spirit Gauge is full!

Liu Nian had a sudden thought!

Unstoppable!

An invisible wave of energy suddenly erupted from his body, and he entered a state of superhuman strength, his entire body turning blood red! He charged towards the Dog King like a raging bull splitting a mountain!

Boom!

-724!

The massive magical damage exploded on the dog king, sending its enormous body flying!

The health bar visibly dropped significantly!

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Nian immediately activated his skill: Deliberate Fist!

The moment Dog King landed, Liu Nian had already thrown a punch!

-482!

A white true damage number popped up!

The Dog King's health is down to less than 10%!

Liu Nian punched it again, reducing its health to 108 points, and then finished off the dog king with a Soul Draining Strike!

【Soul Drain Strike damage permanently increased by 4! (Double damage against BOSSes)】

[Hellish Curse in effect! Armor and spell power +1]

"Awoo~~"

The dog king's massive body stiffened abruptly, the frenzied malice in its eyes extinguished like a candle flickering in the wind, and it let out a reluctant whimper before collapsing to the ground with a thud!

At the same time, a small pile of glittering items dropped next to the Dog King's corpse! The most eye-catching of them all was a ring that emitted a purple glow!

"It's out!"
