Ch. 69 - Squeeze Your Mana Bar Dry!
Boom!
Monstrous death energy spread with Ye Xiaoxiao as the center, like a violent storm, sweeping across the entire field!
"Domain-type skill?"
Everyone present was stunned.
At the same time, Cheng Shi, who was standing on the other side of the arena, also had his pupils contract.
The young man was dressed in a yellow monk's robe.
The top of his head was shiny, without a single hair.
Not only that, he didn't even have eyebrows.
His entire head was like a braised egg, so smooth that it reflected light.
"Amitabha, the female benefactor truly has good methods."
Cheng Shi put his hands together and sighed, exhaling a breath of foul air.
He found that all of his attributes had actually dropped by 20%.
Especially his Constitution value, which was as high as 240, but had now suddenly weakened to 192.
This made him, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, very uncomfortable.
"Death Breath!"
Black energy surrounded her body, and a pitch-black scythe appeared in Ye Xiaoxiao's hand!
She dashed forward, swinging the scythe fiercely at Cheng Shi's neck!
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding echoed in the arena.
Sparks flew everywhere!
"Immovable Golden Body!"
"Solid as a Golden Bastion!"
Cheng Shi unleashed two skills in succession.
Seeing his Constitution value rise from 192 back to 240, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Only numbers like this looked comfortable to him!
At the same time, a golden Buddha idol suddenly emerged around his body.
This golden Buddha idol was about 3 meters tall, enveloping Cheng Shi's entire person within it.
"This guy... is so hard!"
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and her arm holding her weapon felt numb.
Her body was even pushed due to inertia.
"Female benefactor, excuse me!"
Cheng Shi's simple and honest face suddenly became hideous!
His eyes shot out streaks of bright light.
The monk's robe suddenly burst apart, revealing his robust muscles!
He bent his elbow slightly, aimed at Ye Xiaoxiao's abdomen, and directly blasted a palm fiercely!
"Flash!"
Ye Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted slightly.
Sensing the crisis, she immediately pulled away.
Bang!
At the same time, Cheng Shi's palm missed.
The violent qi force frantically swept across the field, visible to the naked eye.
"Defense is very high, and attack is also not bad."
A brief probe gave Ye Xiaoxiao a rough understanding of Cheng Shi's strength.
However, just as she pulled away…
A giant golden palm condensed from golden energy and slowly formed above her head!
"Great Compassion Palm!"
Cheng Shi pressed down fiercely with one hand, and the heavy golden palm fell instantly, falling towards Ye Xiaoxiao fast!
"He also has a long-range attack skill? I haven't seen him use this in previous matches."
Ye Xiaoxiao reacted quickly, immediately doing a big backward jump to dodge the giant palm.
Boom!
The giant golden palm smashed onto the ground!
The earth was instantly branded with a conspicuous palm print crack.
"Female benefactor, although this skill of mine doesn't have serious damage, its consumption is very low, and it only has a 1-second cooldown.
By the way, the potion I chose off-field is a long-acting magic energy potion. It restores 15 mana per second and lasts for 10 minutes.
And this skill of mine only consumes 5 mana per second, so it can almost be unleashed without consumption."
After saying that, Cheng Shi blasted another palm.
Another giant golden hand flew towards Ye Xiaoxiao!
Undoubtedly, he was deliberately putting pressure on the latter, wanting to force out her trump cards.
Bang!
Ye Xiaoxiao swung the scythe in her hand, doing a fierce horizontal sweep.
She directly split the incoming giant golden hand apart instantly!
Boom boom boom!
But Cheng Shi's palm wind was incessant, and countless giant golden hands whistled overwhelmingly towards Ye Xiaoxiao!
"Female benefactor, still thinking of reserving your strength? If that's the case, you’re underestimating this little monk too much!"
Cheng Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Trying to wear me down to death?"
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned tightly, her scythe swinging quickly as she split all the incoming giant golden palms apart!
At the same time, she moved her slender legs, running quickly towards Cheng Shi's direction.
In just a few breaths, she had already arrived in front of Cheng Shi, swinging her scythe and hacking wildly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal colliding, like striking iron, rang out in the arena.
"Very swift attacks. Trying to break my defense with high-frequency attacks?
It seems like you’ve done your homework on my previous matches.
But it’s a pity..."
Looking at Ye Xiaoxiao constantly swinging her scythe in front of him, Cheng Shi smiled calmly.
Then he waved his big hand!
A string of numbers suddenly popped up above his head.
[325/360]
This was Cheng Shi's mana bar!
With Ye Xiaoxiao's continuous hacking, Cheng Shi's mana bar was decreasing at a rate of 10 points per second.
But because he had taken the magic potion, it was also increasing at a rate of 15 points per second.
And with his skill "Immovable Golden Body," as long as he stood still, he could have an 80% damage immunity effect.
Although every time he blocked an attack, it would consume 5 mana…
And the more targets he faced, the smaller the damage immunity effect, which could be reduced to a minimum of 20%...
But with the blessing of the magic potion and with him facing only one person, he could achieve an almost consumption-free damage immunity.
Plus his perverted 240 points of defense…
This resulted in Ye Xiaoxiao's damage to him being almost zero.
"Female benefactor, the force is too light. It's not even enough to give this little monk a scraping massage!"
Cheng Shi shook his head and sighed helplessly, but his tone was full of arrogance and conceit.
"This old bald donkey is fucking showing off his health bar to me, huh?"
Ye Xiaoxiao's temper flared up instantly.
Undoubtedly, this was contempt and provocation towards her!
"Fine! Think I'm just scraping? Then I'll call my people and gang up on you to death!"
She quickly pulled away, no longer reserving her strength.
She raised her hand and thrust it forward!
Countless black halos emerged across the field.
Pairs of ghastly, withered hands suddenly reached out from the ground!
Countless skeleton minions roared and twisted, crawling out from the ground.
Holding swords and shields, their eyes emitting dark green ghostly light like evil ghosts from hell.
They pounced towards Cheng Shi like crazy!
"Summoning-type skill?"
Cheng Shi looked astonished, his brows instantly knitting together.
Before he could react, those skeleton minions pounced on him like crazy!
"Fortunately, the cooldown of my Great Compassion Palm is only 1 second, and the clearing speed is extremely fast!
Want to compete with me in consumption? Heh! An idiot's daydream!"
Cheng Shi's eyes became sharp, and the speed of his palm strikes also became faster and faster!
Giant golden palms were blasted out one after another, pushing away and smashing all the incoming skeleton soldiers!
Boom boom boom!
But as time went on, Cheng Shi's face became increasingly solemn.
Because he found that despite his continuous palm strikes, to the point where his arm even started to ache…
The number of skeleton minions on the field not only didn't decrease, but actually increased instead.
"Damn it! Does this girl's summoning skill have no cooldown and no mana consumption?"
Sweat soaked Cheng Shi's back, and his arm also began to tremble slightly.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, the arrogance from before long gone from his eyes, replaced by a face full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Heh! Very curious, right?"
Seeing Cheng Shi's gaze, Ye Xiaoxiao sneered.
Then she also waved her big hand.
A row of numbers instantly popped up above her head.
[410/520]
"Say, isn't it a coincidence? The potion I took is the same as yours, restoring 15 mana per second.
And my summoning skill only consumes 5 mana each time it's unleashed, and... no cooldown!"
Saying that, Ye Xiaoxiao exerted force again and waved her small hand!
Roar roar roar!
In an instant…!
Densely packed skeleton arms reached out across the entire arena!
10, 20, 30...
Until the field was completely filled up.
Like a mighty army, row after row of skeleton minions stood at attention while holding swords and shields!
"Want to compete with me in consumption? This lady will directly squeeze you dry!"
Ye Xiaoxiao crossed her legs while sitting condescendingly on a high chair formed by seven to eight skeleton soldiers.
Like a monarch commanding a myriad army, she stared at Cheng Shi, who was standing dumbfounded on the spot.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience was stunned, their breathing abruptly hitching!
——————————————————
T/N - Go, Ye Xiaoxiao! Wave tactics have always been my favorite way to fight, which is why I love the necromancer class.
Also, I kinda like Cheng Shi. He’s the first character who isn’t portrayed as overly arrogant, and I can relate to his OCD. In RPGs, stat numbers not ending in 0 always bother me.
E/N: *Staring at slender, beautiful legs again* *contemplating* I’ve never been so fed up in my life…
