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

【Shattered Crystal Cluster】: Can be inlaid into weapons, shields, and magical artifacts to provide a percentage damage bonus.

[Fragmented Holy Stone Armor Plate]: Can be inlaid into the chest armor, shoulder armor, and pants to provide armor protection and health regeneration.

[Venomous Fang]: Can be socketed into jewelry to provide a poison damage bonus.

Wu Zhan said in the guild channel, "These should be gem-like inlaid fragments. Don't rush to use them, collect them first. We should be able to find the NPC craftsman to synthesize higher-level ones!"

Upon hearing this, everyone started scrolling even more enthusiastically.

Because of the complex terrain of this crystal cave, which is full of caves of all sizes and narrow passages, the team quickly split up and each went to find areas with a high concentration of monsters to level up.

Wu Zhan reiterated: "Maintain communication, prioritize survival, and immediately call for assistance if there is any danger or unusual discovery!"

Liu Nian preferred to grind in different areas. Although leveling up was slower that way, he could still gain attributes, which was more worthwhile for him. So he chose a cave full of mimic stone golems and rushed in by himself.

Soon after, the guild channel became lively:

"I found a fine iron chest in this cave! But there are two elite stone golems guarding it, they're a bit tough. Need a DPS bro to help me out!"

"Received, coordinates sent, coming right away!" Someone responded immediately.

"A rare elite monster, the Crystal Golem, has spawned in the cave to the north. The drop rate is definitely high, let's team up and farm it!"

"Group me! Group me!"

Just then, an anxious voice rang out in the channel. It was an assassin from Zhang Hanshan's team: "Guild Leader!! We've found a BOSS in this large mine in the southeast! [Enraged Stone Elemental Elder LV.35]! Brother Hanshan is struggling; this BOSS's area-of-effect damage is too high, and it can summon small stone golems! We need backup!"

Wu Zhan's voice rang out immediately: "Those who see this message, go to provide support immediately!!"

Seeing that the creature was nearby, Liu Nian smashed the mimic stone golem in front of him with a single punch without hesitation. He glanced at the coordinates marked on the map and began to speed towards the direction of the distress call.

He was incredibly fast; less than two minutes after receiving the distress call, he dashed into the open mine shaft to the southeast like a gust of wind.

At this moment, Zhang Hanshan and seven or eight team members were hiding behind a boulder at the entrance of the mine, carefully observing the enormous creature in the center of the mine. It was over five meters tall, made entirely of rough rock and crystal, and surrounded by violent earth elemental energy. Every stomp of its foot could cause the entire mine to tremble slightly. There were also several small stone elementals it had summoned wandering on the ground.

Seeing Liu Nian arrive, Zhang Hanshan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly whispered, "Brother, you're here! This big guy has ridiculously high defense and attack power, and his area-of-effect skills can knock people back. We dare not go head-to-head with him."

Liu Nian peeked inside and asked immediately, "How much blood does it have?"

"The detection spell shows it's a little over 10!" a mage nearby immediately replied.

"10 million?"

Isn't this something that can be resolved with a single punch?

This opportunity is rare, and he wanted to test the power of his full-power, deliberate punch!

Liu Nian grinned, revealing an excited smile: "Are there any disgusting invincibility or health-locking mechanisms?"

"Well... I fought for a while just now, but I haven't found anything yet, so I guess there isn't anything?" Zhang Hanshan was a little uncertain.

"Okay, I'll go get it." Liu Nian flexed his wrists and was about to step forward.

"Huh? Bro, you're going to solo the BOSS all by yourself?" Zhang Hanshan and the other team members were stunned.

Although they knew Liu Nianmeng was powerful, this was a level 35 regional boss with over 10 HP! Even their small team didn't dare to easily engage the monster.

"Yes, I'm enough on my own," Liu Nian said calmly.

No...this...

Everyone looked at Liu Nian, who was already walking confidently toward the BOSS, and they were all somewhat at a loss.

I know you're really good, but isn't this too risky?

Is it adventurous? Liu Nian has never been an adventurous person.

One quick-thinking team member immediately activated the in-game recording function, sensing that what was about to happen was definitely worth recording.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, filled with worry, curiosity, and a hint of disbelief, Liu Nian strode alone toward the berserk stone elemental elder.

The BOSS immediately noticed the uninvited guest and let out a deep roar. Its huge rock fist, carrying immense force, slammed down on Liu Nian!

Liu Nian neither dodged nor avoided!

"Bang!"

-12541!

A damage number popped up above Liu Nian's head, and his health bar moved slightly.

His high health of 126268 gives him enough strength to withstand this level of attack.

Elder Stone Element became even more enraged when his attack failed, and slammed his arms into the ground!

"Boom!"

[Earthquake Wave]: A fan-shaped shockwave sweeps forward, damaging and knocking back all enemies in its path.

Liu Nian still stubbornly ate it!

-22888!

His body flew up and fell down, and his fighting spirit soared at that moment.

"What is he doing? Why isn't he fighting back?" some of the spectators asked, puzzled.

"It seems like he's... deliberately getting beaten up?" another team member murmured.

That's right, Liu Nian was deliberately getting beaten up!

Because he needs to take damage to quickly accumulate the battle spirit required for [Intended Fist]!

In the next few seconds, he was like a rock in a storm, enduring the Stone Elemental Elder's fists, seismic waves, and even the attacks from the summoned crystal spikes—

-11655!

-5411!

-21999!

……

Health is dropping rapidly, but the battle spirit bar is filling up at a visible speed, quickly reaching its peak and even overflowing its storage limit!

"Alright!" Liu Nian felt the surging, violent power within his body, and his eyes sharpened.

At this moment, Elder Stone Element's health bar was still full at 100%!

It raised its fists again, ready to launch a new attack.

At that very moment, Liu Nian made his move!

His entire demeanor suddenly changed, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed!

He bent his knees slightly, pulled his right fist back, and all the power in his body and the accumulated fighting spirit rushed into his fist. The space around his fist began to distort slightly and emit a low hum!

"A deliberate, powerful punch!!!"

He roared silently, twisted his waist and exerted his strength, slamming his fist, which contained destructive power, hard towards the stone elemental elder in front of him!

An invisible torrent of energy surged from his fist, instantly engulfing the Stone Element Elder's massive body!

BOOM!

-129405!!

A terrifying white true damage number popped up!

The enraged stone elemental's massive body stiffened before the damage that exceeded its maximum lifespan... Then, countless blinding white lights burst forth from every crevice of its rocky body!

"boom--------!!!"

A deafening explosion rang out, and the Stone Elemental Elder's health bar of up to 100,000 was instantly emptied. His massive body cracked inch by inch, eventually turning into countless scattered fragments of stone and dense light of experience, completely disintegrating!

One punch!

Just one punch!

A level 35 area boss at full health was instantly killed!

All the team members watching, including the one recording, gaped wide-eyed...

After a brief silence, someone stammered, "Holy shit..."

At that moment, Wu Zhan shouted in the guild channel, "How many people have arrived? I'm done here and on my way!"
