Chapter 186: What Kind of Challenge Is This?
—
[You are afflicted by ‘Great Weakness Corruption’! Your damage output is reduced by 75% for 30 seconds!]
—
Done!
Immediately, Qin Feng didn’t enter stealth mode. Instead, he charged toward a nearby “Six-Armed Crawler (Lv23)” while holding the most useless bronze dagger!
With his super-fast speed, Qin Feng swung his dagger and launched a basic attack…
Due to the lack of breaking stealth, no added skills, no class bonuses, and no backstab, coupled with the effect of ‘Great Weakness Corruption’, Qin Feng’s damage took a nosedive.
Each strike only dealt just over 1,000 damage!
This was still thanks to ‘Graceful Liberation’. Without it, each strike would probably deal around 300 damage at most.
“A thousand plus per hit? The damage is still too high,” Qin Feng couldn’t help but mutter.
When Yī Liǔ Yān heard this, she raised a hand to her forehead: “Do you even hear yourself? You took my Great Weakness Corruption, and your casual hits are still dealing more damage than others’ core skills!”
In truth, Qin Feng was troubled, but there was nothing he could do—his stats were far too high compared to regular players.
He could remove his gear, skip using skills, but he couldn’t suppress his base stats or lineage effects…
Luckily, these Lv23 small monsters still had about 30,000-50,000 HP.
Holding his dagger, Qin Feng struck five times per second, racking up combo points quickly!
After taking down several small monsters, Qin Feng’s combo points finally reached 100, and the effect of ‘Great Weakness Corruption’ faded.
He quickly returned to the Blackwater River’s edge.
Endless Nightmare, Activate!
As Qin Feng consumed 100 combo points to unleash ‘Endless Nightmare,’ a terrifying aura spread from him. The surrounding 160-meter area darkened instantly, and ghostly shadows swirled!
Qin Feng was completely engulfed in the nightmare energy!
At the same time, all enemies within 160 meters began accumulating nightmare meters.
The platinum-level Boss, the Big Black Fish, which had been lurking in the Black River, also started to feel the effects of the nightmare affix. It roared and leapt out of the black water!
Qin Feng noticed that the nightmare meter above the Boss’s head increased by about 4% per second.
“Looks like this Boss has around 800-900 nightmare resistance,” Qin Feng observed. “Impressive for a Boss template!”
He smirked slightly.
Since he hadn’t equipped his previous set of gear, his damage was still lower than usual.
He continued attacking the Boss with regular strikes.
Each hit added 4% to the Boss’s nightmare meter.
After the Big Black Fish emerged from the river, it started spitting black slime at Qin Feng, but these ranged attacks had no effect. He easily dodged them.
The Boss slapped its tail!
The Boss bit down!
As the Boss unleashed a variety of skills, Qin Feng dodged them all with ease.
As the Big Black Fish’s nightmare meter accumulated, it began to lose its sanity. Just as Qin Feng’s ‘Nightmare Descend’ effect was about to end, he chased after the Boss and landed a hit, pushing it into ‘Nightmare State’!
The platinum-level Big Black Fish Boss instantly lost all ability to move, trapped in an unimaginable, terrifying nightmare.
Above its head appeared a recovery bar.
“The Boss’s recovery from higher-level affixes is fast,” Qin Feng noted. “At this rate, it’ll probably recover in about seven seconds…”
But Qin Feng wouldn’t give it seven seconds.
He immediately activated Silent Concealment.
Shadow Slash!
As Qin Feng entered stealth and attacked, he applied all possible damage modifiers—breaking stealth, added skills, class bonuses, weakness, and backstabs—maximizing all damage boosts.
In an instant, he cut down the Big Black Fish’s HP bar!
“Putting a Boss into Nightmare State has a key benefit… while in the Nightmare State, a Boss cannot lock its health!”
This made future Boss strategies much easier for Qin Feng.
—
[You have killed ‘Toxic Black Fish King·Nuriell (Platinum Level)’]
[You have gained 144,000 experience points.]
[Congratulations! You have gained 20 evolution points!]
[You have gained 7.55 years of life (can be traded).]
[You have permanently increased your Nightmare Resistance by 0.13!]
—
Qin Feng’s main focus was naturally the last line.
And the reason he had tested it was because of…
Greedy Hands!
Unfortunately, Greedy Hands didn’t result in any additional ‘Nightmare Resistance’ rewards.
While slightly disappointed, it was still somewhat expected…
“This skill is way too cool!”
Yī Liǔ Yān watched in awe as Qin Feng activated Nightmare Descend, enveloping himself in a nightmare-like aura.
The most terrifying part was that the Big Black Fish Boss had fallen into a state where it was completely unable to fight back!
Yī Liǔ Yān, now understanding the concept of affixes, could never have imagined that a player like ‘Shadow’ could put a Boss into a Nightmare State, rendering it unable to act…
For a moment, she was completely stunned.
Afterward, Yī Liǔ Yān led Qin Feng to deal with the last platinum-level Boss near the Guanggang Ruins, which had been discovered by the authorities.
Then Qin Feng prepared to leave.
“Guanggang is a bit far. If any Emerald or higher-level Bosses show up, contact me. Anything below Emerald, forget it.”
Before leaving, Qin Feng told Yī Liǔ Yān.
She nodded seriously: “Got it, I’ll let you know…”
Qin Feng then took her back to the center of the Guanggang Ruins before leaving.
Watching his back as he walked away, Yī Liǔ Yān reported to her official sisters and then sighed: “Sigh, I really wish I could become an Emerald-level Boss…”
Her companion, bewildered, asked: “Why would you think like that?”
Yī Liǔ Yān smiled slyly: “That way, Shadow could come and defeat me.”
“???”
—
Fallen City Ruins, Evil Spirit Academy’s Hideout.
After returning from Guanggang, Qin Feng prepared to summon the Judgment Envoy, Ashashis.
He first glanced at his status panel.
“Thanks to the 1550 years of life sent by those non-natives…”
“I now have over 5,000 years of life…”
“After this challenge, I can buy a top-tier mask in the Abyss of Dead Souls.”
Qin Feng quietly returned to the second underground level of the Evil Spirit Academy.
Finding a spacious area, he took out the ‘Ashashis’ Summoning Bell’ and gently shook it twice.
Ding ding ding…
When the bell rang, a figure in a divine white robe slowly materialized in front of Qin Feng!
It was the long-awaited Judgment Envoy, Ashashis.
She stood there, her elegant body draped in a white robe, her hands clasped before her chest. Upon materializing, she bowed slightly to Qin Feng. Her pale golden eyes exuded both holiness and authority!
A soft, ancient voice in the Old God tongue reached Qin Feng’s ears: “Heir… are you ready for the challenge?”
Qin Feng was presented with an option.
—
[Do you wish to initiate the Judgment Challenge?]
[Yes / No]
—
The first two times Qin Feng encountered Ashashis, he wasn’t sure if they could be counted as the Judgment Challenge.
But in any case, he was ready.
He selected ‘Yes’!
Once he made his choice, a round white portal appeared in front of him.
Ashashis slowly approached the portal, bowed to Qin Feng, and stood by the side.
Qin Feng walked forward and touched the white portal…
In the next instant, the world around him turned into a vast expanse of white!
When the white light faded, he found himself standing on a high platform!
At the same time, a series of system prompts echoed in his mind:
—
[Welcome to the ‘Land of Judgment’!]
[Player ‘Black Plum Big Li Zi’ has entered the Land of Judgment!]
[Player ‘Yī Liǔ Yān’ has entered the Land of Judgment!]
[Player ‘Justice Executioner’ has entered the Land of Judgment!]
[Player ‘Snowy Day’ has entered the Land of Judgment!]
[Player ‘Little You’ has entered the Land of Judgment!]
[…]
—
This flood of system prompts made Qin Feng’s mind short-circuit.
What the hell?
What kind of challenge is this?
