596: Killing is ineffective

Although Chen Du's Martial Skill was 1% higher than his opponent's, Gao Zhongwang was in his Golden Armor state at the moment, so Chen Du was naturally no match for him.

Just one Gao Zhongwang, at this moment, managed to suppress Chen Du.

This was something Chen Du himself had not anticipated.

"Awooo!"

The Demon God's attack followed closely, its red lightning-infused claws striking towards Chen Du's head, intent on a one-hit kill.

At the same time, ten daggers flew out from behind him, and Long Shan, hidden behind the Demon God, also joined the attack.

His close-combat ability was not outstanding, so five daggers circled him for protection, while the remaining ten daggers joined the Demon God in attacking Chen Du.

Only Zhou Xiaogu stood behind the two, like a healer.

This action was not typical of her usual style, but it fit the current situation.

Chen Du, with his rich combat experience, instantly judged that if Zhou Xiaogu did not participate in the battle, the Lava Zhou Xiaogu below would likely generate even faster.

These three seemed to have planned it before the fight: win if they could, stall if they couldn't, to prepare for the Late Stage.

It worked regardless of whether they could win or not, with maximum fault tolerance.

And the Lava Zhou Xiaogu never participated in the attack from beginning to end, continuously synthesizing below.

After all, at her current Rank, participating would only make her cannon fodder; it was better to slowly grow stronger.

At this moment, the two people and one bear were fiercely attacking Chen Du.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Chen Du's two fists were no match for four hands; in the battle, being at a disadvantage, his body quickly showed wounds.

But these wounds would disappear automatically in less than a second.

Mental Restart!

Through constant refreshes of Mental Restart, Chen Du kept himself in Peak condition, and all these damages were transferred to the white bars, stored as lethal doses.

Once lethal doses began to accumulate, they would all erupt after 24 hours.

But it didn't matter; as long as he won, there would be a universal reward: status recovery. Even if it couldn't recover the lethal doses, there was the Crystal Space. Chen Du had tested this; it would be resolved no matter what.

From the rules here, Chen Du deduced that he must defeat these three within 23 hours.

If he failed, there would only be two outcomes.

First, the opponents from the next assessment would join in, which was equivalent to a death trap. After all, if you couldn't handle the enemies from the previous round, how could you handle stronger enemies from the next round?

Second, due to the challenge mechanism, the power on his wrist might be depleted before five assessments, causing him to leave prematurely. Although he would be safe, the purpose of coming in was for resources, which meant the current clearance reward.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The battle approached a strange balance; although Chen Du was always at a disadvantage and constantly injured, he could never be truly defeated.

And the Lava Zhou Xiaogu below had already synthesized to Rank 24!

He didn't know what the upper limit of this thing was, but Chen Du had no such idle curiosity about it.

At this moment, one of the six white bars in his mind was full, and the lethal dose in the second white bar had reached 5%.

This meant that the accumulated injuries he had sustained were already enough to kill him once!

Because of the mechanism, even if all six white bars' lethal doses were at 100%, they would only erupt after 24 hours, so Chen Du didn't care at all.

It was precisely because he had this ability that he fought in this manner, trying to figure out the opponent's trump cards and combat routines.

After all, in a challenge with rewards like this, Chen Du had to ensure his 100% victory.

For this, paying the price of "one life" to obtain enemy information was a very normal behavior.

Even though Chen Du had believed from the start that he was the stronger side in engaging these three, he still maintained the mindset of a lion using its full strength to fight a rabbit.

Excluding Zhou Xiaogu, Chen Du now understood about seventy to eighty percent of Long Shan and Gao Zhongwang's abilities and fighting styles.

Compared to their initial encounter, although he was still at a disadvantage, the damage he sustained had significantly decreased.

However, one thing greatly surprised Chen Du.

That was Gao Zhongwang's Martial Skill level.

Long Shan's Martial Skill level was Control 34%, which was a very normal Martial Skill level for an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior.

Although Long Shan was also a Genius, anyone who could rise to Rank 25 was a Genius, right?

His Martial Skill talent was not outstanding among these Advanced Sky Soaring Warriors, as Long Shan specialized in Mental Energy, and a Control 34% Martial Skill level perfectly matched his expected level at Rank 25.

If this place calculated a person's future strength based on their growth potential, then what was going on with Gao Zhongwang?

Although Gao Zhongwang was indeed the undisputed number one Genius of the High Martial Civilization at the time, he was indeed stronger and had more potential than Long Shan.

But his Martial Skill level couldn't be as high as Control 60%!

Could it be that he, like Zhang Youren, had some extraordinary opportunity?

When Gao Zhongwang first displayed Control 60% Martial Skill, Chen Du initially thought that the Martial Skill levels of these three had been forcibly raised to be close to his own. Now, it seemed that was not the case.

He didn't dwell on the specific details; first, there was no answer, and second, he would deal with problems as they arose. What needed to be done now was to defeat these three, not to figure out this matter.

Whoosh!

Chen Du's eyes turned cold, and a faint golden aura instantly burst forth from his body, enveloping the three people present and their summoned beasts in an instant.

Domain Expansion!

No matter how strong these three clones were, they were futile in the face of the Domain!

This was a cross-Rank suppression!

"Click."

A crisp snapping sound came from Chen Du's fingers.

Chen Du's Martial Skill level and Mental Energy were above all three of them, but his Rank did not exceed theirs, which meant that the three of them could not be instantly killed by the Domain.

However, Chen Du's target was not them, but the Lava Zhou Xiaogu constantly being born and synthesized below!

Now there were already two Rank 24 Lava Zhou Xiaogu below, and the third Rank 24 one was also being synthesized.

Once completed, although it wouldn't be anything terrifying, it wouldn't be instantly killed by him, and it could continue to synthesize, which would become a hidden danger.

This was calculated by Chen Du; after the opponent synthesized two Rank 24 Lava Zhou Xiaogu, he would activate the Domain's instant kill ability.

This way, Zhou Xiaogu's ability at the Sky Soaring Warrior stage would be rendered useless.

Her environmental ability was not to enhance individual strength, but to create a stronger version of herself through a nurturing method.

According to normal logic, this environmental ability should now be at the Star Mark level, which is one-star.

If it reached two-star, her ability should increase the starting Rank of these Lava Zhou Xiaogu, for example, becoming Rank 21 after two-star, which would greatly increase the speed of synthesizing high-Rank versions of herself.

Although this ability had an extremely high upper limit, it was completely suppressed in front of Chen Du, who possessed a Domain.

This was also why Chen Du initially let it go unchecked.

But at this moment, an unexpected event occurred.

His instant kill was ineffective against the Lava Zhou Xiaogu!

"My instant kill is ineffective?"

Just as Chen Du voiced his question, he noticed a red star plate appearing above Gao Zhongwang's head!
