Bai Pu thought of a possibility, his face changing drastically. Just at this moment, a vicious wind assailed from above, as two Demon Generals leaped one after another into the underground cavern!

Separated by a layer of green mist, the two Demon Generals did not immediately notice Bai Pu, otherwise, they would have launched an aerial strike, causing Bai Pu to risk half his life at once.

Bang, bang! The heavy impact exerted force on this "small island," causing it to sink several feet into the water again, with the sound of rushing water!

Roaring sounds echoed, as the two Demon Generals also sensed the poison in the green mist, letting out furious howls.

If there was someone with a Demon Language translation skill passing level 4, they could probably translate their meanings, which were nothing more than "Damn, got tricked again," and "Gonna tear that damned human into pieces," or the like.

After landing on the small island, although there was fog between them, the two Demon Generals could vaguely see Bai Pu's figure.

The Hunting Scythe pounced suddenly, its sharp blade scything through the air!

At this moment, Bai Pu's attributes were reduced by 25%, so he had to stick with delaying tactics. Once the two Demon Generals' attributes dropped by 50%, his dire situation would be greatly alleviated.

A flash of blue light erupted at his feet, triggering the speed boost effect of the Elk Hide Boots! Bai Pu turned and fled, dodging the horizontal slash of the scythe, and even maneuvered at a right angle to evade the follow-up hook blade slashing from the attacking Ghost Leather!

Thud!

A light sound similar to a bowstring vibrating reached Bai Pu's ears as he felt a massive force rushing from behind, like an ordinary person being hit by a sniper bullet, causing his entire body to lurch forward!

When he turned his head, Bai Pu saw a blood-red, hook-ended tongue extending from in front of his shoulder blade, then rapidly retracting—

This was precisely the terrifying skill of the Demon General Ghost Leather that was almost impossible to guard against: Thorn Tongue!

Fortunately, when the two Demon Generals rushed over, Bai Pu had already switched the Deactivated Blood Image to Scaly Skin, which skewed the force of the Thorn Tongue attack, transferring it from the heart to the shoulder!

Otherwise, this strike would certainly have left Bai Pu severely injured and disabled.

"It's time to use the next trump card."

Bai Pu took a deep breath, activating Talent Ability 3: Genetic Fragment Activation.

Chosen target... Cao Zhang!

Cao Zhang's Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization was not very high; as a Leader, his strength lay in his stats, and his other specializations were quite balanced, such as the commonly used Fighting Specialization in close combat.

However, Bai Pu selected Cao Zhang's genetic fragment to boost his Power enhancement and Fighting Specialization!

[You have temporarily fused Cao Zhang's genetic fragment.]

[Your Basic Power temporarily increased by 12 points!]

[Your Fighting Specialization temporarily advanced to Advanced Level 7!] (Limit Breaker +1)

[Your Long-Handled Weapon Specialization temporarily advanced to Advanced Level 5!] (Limit Breaker +1)

At this moment, the two Demon Generals began to slow down, their fierce aura fading. Even strong Demon Generals had to succumb to the terrifying nerve toxin with a priority of 10 points!

Bai Pu used Nine Chapters Detection, targeting the Hunting Scythe.

[Hunting Scythe (Enhanced Leader Level 4) / Toxin Layer Count 10]

[Species: Demon Monster Species/Monster Race]

[Attributes: Power 18 (36), Agility 35 (70), Endurance 25 (50), Spirit 10 (20)] (Numbers in parentheses are original values)

[Skill 1: Scythe of Death]

[Skills 2~7: ???]

After the toxin level reached 10 layers, the Hunting Scythe's terrifying speed, which left no room to react, was greatly reduced. The Ghost Leather's formidable power attribute also decreased to the level of an ordinary Level 3 Enhanced Elite, its fierce aura vanished!

Though Bai Pu's attributes too were halved (at this moment the Deactivated Blood Image was not active), the attribute gap between him and the two Demon Generals significantly narrowed.

Bai Pu got up, switching [Adaptive Evolution] to Deactivated Blood Image, his entire being emitting high temperatures, gradually dispelling the power of the toxin bit by bit.

Having dispelled half of the toxin effects, Bai Pu's attribute values had already recovered to 75%.

To the Ghost Leather and Hunting Scythe, this scene appeared again as a humiliation of deception!

Damn, it was indeed another trap!

If not prepared in advance with an "antidote," how could this low-powered human possibly withstand such terrifying toxins!

In this weakened state, the two Demon Generals, fearful that Bai Pu had further tricks up his sleeve, hesitated to advance, pushing each other forward, unwilling to be the first to try.

Bai Pu didn't idle either.

After increasing 12 points of Basic Power, green light flickered in his hands as he swiftly donned two pieces of equipment:

[Iron Waist Guard of the Immortal King] + [Iron Bracelets of the Immortal King]!

[Effect of 2-piece set of the Immortal King: Increases wearer's Power by 10, Endurance by 10.]

That wasn't all, a golden glow flashed in Bai Pu's hand as a chest-high large shield appeared in his grip, the Spider Demon Dominator Shield, which Bai Pu also unsealed and activated directly!

These three pieces of equipment required a base Power of 20 points to equip, and Bai Pu had been 1 point short of the standard all along.

Strictly speaking, a base Power of 20 points was a value only an Awakened with a mid-level Strength Talent could achieve.

Bai Pu had previously used Dragon Tiger Pills and Free Attribute Points from the top scorer rewards to consistently enhance his Basic Power, yet at Level 3, he still fell short by 1 point.

Luckily, the Genetic Fragment Fusion provides a temporary boost in Basic Power, or else he wouldn't have been able to equip them.

Now with the new equipment and the effect of the Immortal King 2-piece set activated, Bai Pu's attributes were significantly enhanced, changing to:

[Power 35+9 (46+12), Agility 14 (18), Endurance 47 (63), Spirit 17 (21)] (Numbers in parentheses are complete values)

Moreover, Bai Pu's total Life Value now reaches a high of 1360 points, surpassing the thousand-point mark!

Though the nerve toxin reduces Endurance Attribute, the Life Value maximum derived from Endurance Attribute is not simultaneously decreased, remaining at 1360 points, but the natural armor and resistance derived from Endurance Attribute have been weakened to 75%.

Bai Pu rather wishes the nerve toxin would synchronously reduce Life Value maximum. In this way, the Life Value of the two Demon Generals would halve, giving him a chance to eliminate them!

As it stands now, he can only aim for one.

The target is you, Demon General Ghost Leather!

The choice falls on Ghost Leather because its nose is too sensitive, capable of easily detecting the lingering scent of the Black Emperor's True Blood. If allowed to escape now, future pursuits by Bai Pu will be too troublesome.

Bai Pu raised a shield in his left hand, holding a long saber with his right hand, advancing swiftly as he activated Flesh Armor!

The gravitational pull effect of the Gravity Ball within the 10-meter diameter island was an absolute killer, covering most of the area! The Demon General Hunting Scythe and Ghost Leather were almost irresistibly drawn into the range of the Gravity Ball's pull.

Bai Pu charged straight for Ghost Leather, ignoring the Hunting Scythe entirely.

The Ghost Leather's agility was its weak point, affected by the nerve toxins in the green mist, reducing it by half to just 16 points. The Gravity Ball's pull effect would draw Ghost Leather toward Bai Pu.

The pull influenced movement speed at 24 points, although Ghost Leather's Enhanced Leader Template brought high-priority resistance and one level of level suppression, leaving only about 70% of the pull effect, it still influenced a speed equivalent to 17 points!

Thus the spacewalk scenario occurred once more. Ghost Leather, cautious from the start, aimed to maneuver and escape, but each step it took towards the outer circle only brought it closer to Bai Pu!

Bai Pu felt a certain resonance between the [Iron Bracelets of the Immortal King] he wore, making both of his wrists stronger and more solid, enabling him to exert a two-handed force with just one wrist!

With one hand holding a two-handed weapon, he wielded it with ease, and his attack output was unaffected.

This must be the skill that comes with the [Iron Bracelets of the Immortal King]: the special effect of Firm Wrist, allowing the wearer to hold a two-handed weapon with one hand without suffering a penalty to attack power.

The length (attack range) and additional attack power of two-handed weapons far surpass those of one-handed weapons. This is where the value of these unimpressive-looking iron bracelets truly lies!

The only curiosity Bai Pu had was whether holding a two-handed weapon with one hand would align with Advanced Equipment: Two-Handed Sword Specialization, or belong to Advanced Equipment: One-Handed Sword Specialization?

Would the Wind-Seeking Special Effect still be triggered?

Upon actual operation, Bai Pu came to understand.

Firstly, the technique seemed not to belong to either one-handed sword specialization or two-handed sword specialization, but was a combination of both! Currently, it is Advanced Level 4 (Limit Breaker +1).

Secondly, the Wind-Seeking Special Effect could still be triggered!
