Chapter 182: Stat Allocation, Sudden Burst
“Ayo, you're still alive?!” The Blue Mask exaggerated a shocked expression and looked at "Sun" as he spoke.
“What’s wrong, Fire Boy? Get up, the ground's soaked. You’ve already taken a dive—just wait for Water Boy to show up.”
Then, Lu Ce turned his head and glanced at Chiyo Eine.
“Sigh, never mind, Water Boy’s already here.”
Chiyo Eine: ?
She couldn’t quite understand, but she’d heard that Huaguo culture was deep and profound, full of historical allusions and the like.
“Are you talking about some kind of traditional reference?”
“Something like that,” Lu Ce said seriously.
“Hey! Stop interrupting!” Sun shouted furiously from the ground, utterly frustrated.
The moment they clashed, “Sin” had already seen right through his strengths and weaknesses, immediately realizing he hadn’t focused on physical body reinforcement.Though his Flame Form looked intimidating, his real strength in battle came from hurling skills like crazy from a distance.
Then he’d set up fire shields around himself, bulldozing forward that way.
But once “Sin” saw he was essentially a mage, he never gave him any chance to fight at range again!
He fought like a total madman! Even when grabbing onto the Magma Armor with his bare hands—his skin roasting, sizzling with grease—
He didn’t let go!
What the h*ll kind of monster is this?!
With nonstop close combat, Sun could still deal damage, but his defenses were practically nonexistent.
Even though he hadn’t specially enhanced his body, he was tall and strong—but he never imagined “Sin” would be so damn powerful!
Now his whole skeleton felt loose, his limbs were broken, and he couldn’t move.
Actually, Lu Ce looked even worse physically—like his house caught fire at 3 a.m. and he didn’t wake up till noon.
But he was still moving just fine, just walking with a bit of a twisted gait.
“Just now, he tanked my explosion head-on and clashed with me directly to throw me!”
Sun didn’t hesitate at all—he spilled everything.
“Those two are definitely connected! Big time.”
“He’s seriously injured right now. I suggest you, Japanese chick, take him down now!”
“Though honestly, I don’t recommend it. A centipede can still wriggle after it’s dead. That guy’s no slouch. If you’re scared, just kidnap the woman in front of you instead—you’ll definitely get some leverage!”
Sun lay on the ground, ranting nonstop like he was about to die.
“What?... He has a hundred legs?!”
No one could tell if the in-game translation system bugged out or if Chiyo Eine had low intelligence—but she asked a question no one expected.
Sun went silent. Xie Antong turned and said,
“At first I thought you were just playing dumb, but now it feels a bit too real.”
“Huh?” Chiyo Eine looked confused, almost like she was genuinely ditzy.
“Do your damn job, Japanese chick!”
“Oh, oh…”
Chiyo Eine hesitated a moment, then decisively turned her gaze to “Sin.”
“I’m not the kind of person who could pull off a kidnapping, but…”
“You don’t look like you’re in great shape right now.”
As she made her choice, Sun—lying behind her—had a subtle shift in expression, a smug hint of having set a trap.
Lu Ce also felt like this playing-with-a-fool game was starting to get boring. He turned to Xie Antong and flashed a broad grin.
“I’ll leave it to you here!”
“Let things take their course…” he added in a low voice.
“You!…” Just as she was about to speak again, “Sin” suddenly vanished from her sight—his overwhelming speed kicked up a terrifying gust of wind and in a flash, he was right in front of Chiyo Eine.
No gun drawn, no wasted moves—just raised a leg and whipped out a roundhouse kick!
After sparring with Sun for so long, he felt pumped up—so now he went full force, fists and legs blazing!
Chiyo Eine responded smoothly, stepping back just as a Black Water tree shot up behind her—she retreated into it.
Then, countless vines and tentacles wrapped around her, shielding her while casting a spell outward!
To Xie Antong, it looked like she was reading straight from a script...
Exactly like her usual combat style—
Start with probing, then ramp up the pressure.
Clearly, this was just testing the waters—trying to gauge how much strength “Sin” had left!
But the problem was, Xie Antong knew very well—“Sin” doesn’t test!
Sometimes, understanding your opponent isn’t about trial and error—it’s about intel. If you try trial and error just once, you might fall into the abyss.
Crack!
With a deafening crash, the bark—like ancient tree wood—shattered instantly, not even getting the chance to split apart cleanly.
The foot he planted had already cracked the ground beneath it. Layers of protection burst open like they were made of paper!
After a series of loud bangs, Chiyo Eine’s stunned face reappeared from the tree—it had been kicked clean in half!
Boom!
The remaining force sent Chiyo Eine flying! Her feet skated over the Black Water on the ground like a surfer.
“Mirror Flower, Water Moon!”
Her face flushed red, and with no other choice, she shouted and vanished with a pop, like something exploded. A moment later, she emerged from the far end of the plaza.
But Lu Ce didn’t stop. After that kick, the ground beneath him exploded—
With another massive blast, he blinked across to the other side!
He brought his hands together into a hammer fist and swung it down hard like an axe, shattering the ground like brittle tofu and yanking out a hidden skateboard underneath.
With a powerful pull, he dragged Wu Changkong out from beneath the floor! Wu Changkong looked completely shocked, too stunned to speak.
Seeing his chance, Sun started his next move.
His waist twisted—even with all four limbs busted, a green Drug appeared from his belt.
With a flex of his hips, the Drug flew toward his mouth.
But what confused him was—why did this guy feel even stronger now? Especially faster?!
Could it be he was holding back earlier?
…
No.
In reality, just now, Lu Ce had allocated more stat points again.
