C9 Lin Bei Showed His Strength!

The instant the Sky Dragon Python was ensnared, Lin Bei, seizing the moment, brandished the Blade of God and furiously struck at the beast's vital points!

For Lin Bei, basic attacks were proving more effective than his skills in dealing damage to his foe!

Once the Elemental Trap and Charm effects wore off, Lin Bei commanded the Bunny Girl to perform the Puppet Rabbit Dance, making the Sky Dragon Python dance helplessly in place!

He then resumed his assault on the creature!

But as the Sky Dragon Python's defenses returned to normal, Lin Bei's attacks began to inflict less damage.

Thankfully, once the Sky Dragon Python shook off the various debuffs, the Bunny Girl joined in on the offensive!

As soon as Charm was ready once more, Lin Bei repeated his earlier tactics.

Together, Lin Bei and the Bunny Girl relentlessly pummeled the defenseless Sky Dragon Python, leaving it no chance to strike back!

The sight was nothing short of astonishing!

"This loop of control is just too impressive!"

"Even though my initial damage was minimal, as long as I can maintain control, I can keep up the fight!"

"Let's see how long you can hold out."

With these thoughts, Lin Bei's hands danced swiftly with the Blade of God.

85%!

Before he knew it, the Sky Dragon Python's HP had plummeted to 50%!

Its roar of rage echoed across the heavens, signaling its descent into a berserk state!

"How dare you insult me! I am the Holy Son of the Medusa Clan. A mere mortal like you has no right to mock me! Perish!"

The Sky Dragon Python's words were cut short as a ferocious aura burst forth!

The eyes atop its eight heads blazed a sinister blood-red, all fixated on Lin Bei!

A twinge of concern hit Lin Bei as the system alert sounded:

"The Sky Dragon Python has unleashed Death Pursuit on One More Life. Prepare for eight consecutive strikes. Be vigilant!"

"The countdown has started."

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

Momentarily taken aback, Lin Bei then bolted towards the edge of the arena!

Drawing on years of combat savvy, he knew he could evade the barrage with his agile maneuvers, and in this moment, the Z-shaped Step was indispensable!

As the countdown hit zero, the Sky Dragon Python's onslaught bore down on Lin Bei!

Its first head lunged, unleashing a torrent of flames aimed directly at him!

With poise, Lin Bei halted. As the fiery column surged towards him, he executed the Z-shaped Step, advancing just a step!

A second later, the flames struck where Lin Bei had stood, erupting in an explosion!

But Lin Bei, having moved away with the Z-shaped Step, used the brief 0.5-second window of invincibility to evade the assault.

The Z-shaped Step came with an invincible effect!

Yet, timing its use was a challenge. Without Lin Bei's extensive experience, few would dare to deploy it under such pressure.

Lin Bei, however, had triumphed, nimbly sidestepping the Sky Dragon Python's initial strike!

"Not too shabby," Lin Bei mused with a smirk, pausing in his tracks.

But as he glanced back, the Sky Dragon Python's second wave of attack was already upon him.

Unruffled, Lin Bei kept up the Z-shaped Step, weaving away into the distance!

Thanks to Lin Bei's impeccable timing, he once again dodged the incoming attacks with ease!

Lin Bei effortlessly evaded every onslaught from the Sky Dragon Python.

This was the measure of Lin Bei's prowess!

Once upon a time, the Z-shaped Step was a technique celebrated by many.

Yet, with the advent of movement and invincible skills, its popularity waned.

But in the Eon Realms' early stages, mastery of the Z-shaped Step rendered one virtually unbeatable!

After the Sky Dragon Python's eight attacks failed to land, Lin Bei swiftly moved back into striking distance.

He cast a quick glance at the nearly ready Charm Rabbit Summoning and activated it once more!

In a flash, before the Sky Dragon Python could regain its senses, it was ensnared in another round of the Charm's miserable control.

This move could easily dispatch monsters lacking a Golden Body.

However, it stood no chance against creatures of Silver Level or higher.

From Silver Level on, Lords possessed the Golden Body effect, which only vanished under specific conditions or when certain mechanisms were triggered. Otherwise, they remained impervious to control.

Yet, whether the Sky Dragon Python had a Golden Body or not, Lin Bei's relentless assault was unaffected.

He took command of the battlefield!

The Sky Dragon Python's HP plummeted visibly!

It dwindled down to 25%.

In response, the Sky Dragon Python mounted a resistance!

It attempted to deploy Black Water Prison again, seeking to reverse the tide and dominate the battle it was meant to rule!

Alas, it faced Lin Bei, seasoned warrior of the Eon Realms!

Predicting the second Black Water Prison, Lin Bei had already retreated ten meters with decisive speed.

Once the Sky Dragon Python's skill was spent, he returned to exploit its vulnerabilities!

For the Sky Dragon Python, it was an absolute nightmare!

Its HP was mercilessly slashed to 1%.

And then, it could drop no further!

Lin Bei smartly backed off another ten meters!

Meanwhile, the Sky Dragon Python let out a furious roar that echoed through the heavens and earth!

"Human, your insolence has sealed your fate! Today, you shall pay dearly—prepare to die!"

With its roar, the world shook, and an overwhelming presence descended!

The sixteen eyes on its eight heads shifted from blood-red to earthy yellow.

Then, an Eye of Heaven, vast as the cosmos itself, emerged!

As Lin Bei locked eyes with it, he was enveloped by an ancient aura and ensnared by an enigmatic force.

A system alert chimed in: "The Sky Dragon Python has unleashed its desperate skill, Death Desertification. Halt its actions, or in three seconds you'll succumb to Desertification and meet your end! Any means to stop it are at your disposal!"

Lin Bei's reflexes kicked in. Noticing the cooldown on Charm Rabbit Summoning had ended, he summoned the Bunny Girl without hesitation!

Charm was unleashed!

The once formidable Sky Dragon Python fell under its spell, its skills abruptly interrupted!

The Eye of Heaven vanished into the void!

Its HP, once at a mere 1%, now hit zero.

"I am a scion of the Medusa Clan; I cannot be vanquished!" it declared, eyes wide as it collapsed.

It transformed into a yellow stone sculpture, shrouded by a curtain of bronze light.

"Congratulations! You have vanquished the Eight Demons Heavenly Dragon Python, earning 1200 Experience Points!"

"Congratulations! You've advanced to Level 5. All your Attribute Points have increased by 2, and you've gained an additional Free Attribute Point!"

"Congratulations! Your All Things Psychic ability has activated. You've acquired 0.5 of the Eight Demons Heavenly Dragon Python's Devour Gene, now adapted for use with Charm Rabbit Summoning!"

"Congratulations! You've achieved 10% Devouring Progress!"

After Lin Bei proactively employed All Things Psychic, he noticed an issue.

As before, employing this tactic against Lord Level monsters granted him more Devour Genes and accelerated his Devouring Progress.

Lin Bei needed just 2.92 more Devour Gene points for another level-up of his Charm Rabbit Summoning.

Meanwhile, his Devouring Progress had hit 43.2%, inching him ever closer to his second summoning slot!

"Looks like I need to hunt down more monsters when I have the chance!"

"As long as I slay enough monsters, earning that summoning slot will be a breeze!"

Lin Bei exhaled, a grin spreading across his face.

He then allocated 1 Freedom Point to enhance his strength!

Strength was an Attribute that emerged after donning the Blade of God.

Yet, it could single-handedly boost Lin Bei's Physical Damage Points—1 point of strength was equal to 2 Physical Damage Points!

Both Strength and Intelligence could yield 2 Magical Damage Points and 1 Physical Damage Point without any conflict.

Lin Bei aimed to maximize this Attribute Point early on, as he, with the heart of a Warrior, relished close-quarters combat with foes.

With this in mind, Lin Bei took a deep breath and gathered the loot scattered on the ground.

Beyond the 5 silver coins, he found four more items—a bountiful haul indeed.

Ordinarily, it would be a godsend for someone to come across just two items.

But Lin Bei, with his 700 Luck Points, always found more than the rest.

Out of the four items, two were pieces of equipment.

Lin Bei quickly examined them.

The first was the Protection of Sand.

The second was Space Leather Pants.

Equipment Requirement: Level 10, Leather armor Profession.

Lin Bei was immediately torn.

Challenging higher-level enemies was thrilling, but the downsides were glaring.

Take his current predicament: the gear he'd acquired was too high-level for him to equip.

"This is seriously frustrating."

He then pulled out the third item.

Upon seeing it, Lin Bei was floored.

It was a badge, and its effect nearly moved him to tears.

Named the Desertification Eye, it was something special.

Quality: Unique

Type: Badge / Special

Effect: Wearing it reduces the level requirement for equipping other items by 50%.

Drop Rate: 0.00001%

Description: A badge of supreme honor, granted to the mature Sky Dragon Python by Queen Medusa herself, unrivaled across the world.
