"you--"
Ning Rong'er was both anxious and angry. She was wearing a +12 "Saint-level Set" and used the strongest move of the "Knight" at this stage, but it only dealt 1 point of damage to Fang Xian.
How is that possible?
She is a level 42 "Golden Knight", which is already the top level in the 20-year-old age group.
Among her peers, even with the highest defense, it's impossible for her to only deal 1 point of damage.
These qualities are vividly embodied in Cao Xiong Ying.
Even a strong "warrior" like Cao Xiong Ying was beaten up by her, so how could Fang Xian, a "contractor," possibly have higher defense than a "warrior"?
unless...
"Fang Xian, are you wearing a 'god-level set' with +18 enhancement?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Fang Xian in shock.
At only 20 years old, he already has a "god-level set" with +18?
No wealthy family would waste money like this; it's simply unreasonable.
They thought Ning Rong'er's words were outrageous, but when they thought about the -1 damage value just now, they felt that it wasn't so outrageous after all.
If that weren't the case, how could Ning Rong'er have only dealt 1 point of damage?
Thinking about it this way, it makes perfect sense.
Upon hearing Ning Rong'er's words, Fang Xian turned around and asked in confusion:
"What 'god-tier set' with +18?"
"I'm not wearing any gear."
Fang Xian's words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering Ning Rong'er's last shred of self-respect.
Ning Rong'er stared at Fang Xian in astonishment, muttering to herself.
"You're not wearing any gear?"
"You...aren't wearing any gear?"
Only then did she realize that Fang Xian really wasn't wearing any equipment.
Without any equipment, she could only deal 1 point of damage.
Just how useless is Ning Rong'er?
"Ugh—"
Ning Rong'er knelt helplessly on the ground, her loose hair falling messily over her shoulders.
She covered her face tightly with both hands, letting out a series of "waaaah" sounds to vent all the sorrow in her heart.
Ning Rong'er's crying completely baffled Fang Xian.
What is all this about?
Why are you crying?
Fang Xian was unaware that Ning Rong'er was extremely strong-willed and had never experienced any setbacks from childhood to adulthood.
This 1 point of damage was extremely humiliating to her, so much so that it directly broke her defenses.
Zheng En'ai and Ning Feng rushed forward to comfort Ning Rong'er.
Fang Xian shook his head helplessly and prepared to leave.
Just then, a loud and clear voice rang out.
"Young friend Fang Xian, there's no need to go to the training ground. Let this old man test you instead."
The speaker walked in from outside the door. He was tall and strong, with a resolute face and graying temples.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and were all startled.
Even Ning Rong'er, who was still crying, stopped sobbing when she saw him, her mouth agape in astonishment.
"Hong Zhanshen!"
Fang Xian naturally recognized this person as well; he was none other than the War God of the Dragon Kingdom.
— Hong Zhentian.
Fang Xian immediately used "Eye of Insight" on him.
Name: Hong Zhentian
Age: 72
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Warrior
Talent: SSS
Appearance: 88
Dimensions: 88
Height: 186 cm
Level: LV99 (God of War)
Constitution: Immortal Body
Favorability: 75]
Fang Xian narrowed his eyes slightly; this was the first time he had ever seen a special physique in someone else.
Judging from the name, "immortal body" should be a constitution related to things like healing and resurrection.
As for why Hong Zhentian would appear here, Fang Xian could guess.
He must be one of the two level 99 Awakened individuals assigned by the state to protect him.
Fang Xian bowed slightly.
"I have met War God Hong."
Hong Zhentian let out a hearty laugh and waved his hand to indicate that everyone didn't need to stand on ceremony.
"Young friend Fang Xian, shall we exchange a few blows?"
Hong Zhentian's words shocked everyone present.
What level of existence is Hong Zhanshen?
That's one of the top combat forces in the Dragon Kingdom, a level 99 War God.
This person actually took the initiative to exchange a few moves with Fang Xian?
Given Hong Zhanshen's rank, he certainly wouldn't do something like bullying the weak.
Then there's only one possibility: that God of War Hong thinks Fang Xian can actually exchange a few blows with him.
Thinking of this, Ning Feng, Ning Rong'er, Zheng En'ai, and the others stared at Fang Xian in disbelief.
They were finding Fang Xian increasingly unfathomable.
Fang Xian, on the other hand, was quite interested, as he had never fought against a level 99 character before.
He looked at the enthusiastic Hong Zhentian and smiled slightly.
"War God Hong, may I ask if your 'immortal body' is truly immortal?"
Hong Zhentian was slightly surprised. His physique was not a secret, but before the fight, he didn't understand why Fang Xian would ask this question.
"It's okay to tell you, I have regenerative abilities, so it's fine to say I'm not dead."
"Then I'd like to ask, no matter how badly you're beaten, can you regenerate?"
Hong Zhentian looked at Fang Xian suspiciously. He really didn't understand why Fang Xian was so interested in his "immortal body".
Could it be that Fang Xian could actually kill him?
"That's right, no matter how I die, I will definitely be resurrected."
Fang Xian nodded knowingly. Since the resurrection was guaranteed, they could give it a try. Otherwise, they might accidentally kill Hong Zhanshen without restraint.
"It would be good if I could be resurrected."
Hong Zhentian's lips twitched slightly. What did he mean by "it would be good if he could be resurrected"?
Could it be that Fang Xian really thought he could kill him?
Hong Zhentian knew Fang Xian's strength; even the "Eight-Foot Mirror" could be shattered by Fang Xian, which was indeed impressive.
But he is the strongest war god, the ceiling of the "warrior" class, with high health and defense, and no one can truly take away his second life.
"Hahaha! Fang Xian, you're really funny."
"Come on, let me see your strength."
Hong Zhentian assumed a fighting stance, clearly taking his fight with Fang Xian seriously.
Fang Xian raised his right hand and smiled slightly.
"God of War Hong, then I'm going to go."
Hong Zhentian was a little surprised. Did Fang Xian want to have a hand-to-hand fight with him?
A real man should confront challenges head-on?
What an arrogant brat!
"bring it on."
Fang Xian clenched his fist, his eyes sharp, and took a step forward, as fleeting as a startled swan.
The fist was thrown out, accompanied by a sonic boom, with extreme speed.
"Good timing!"
Hong Zhentian shouted loudly, and the ground cracked, becoming as solid as a rock.
He seized the opportunity and threw a punch.
Neither of them showed any intention of backing down, choosing instead the most primal form of struggle.
The two fists collided.
"boom!"
The sound of thunder echoed across the sky.
Fang Xian's eyes were full of fighting spirit; this was the first time he had ever experienced such an exhilarating battle.
He was about to throw another punch when he realized that Hong Zhanshen had been knocked out by his punch during their previous exchange.
—It shattered on the ground.
Fang Xian: ...
Zheng En'ai: ? ? ?
Ning Rong'er: ? ? ?
Everyone: ? ? ?
Hong Zhentian, his body shattered on the ground: ? ? ?
