Before Liu Zhenyu's heavy blow could land, his pupils dilated instantly. It was too late to dodge. The next second, he was hit squarely on the side of his face by a knee.
"Oh!"
The sound of flesh colliding was accompanied by a teeth-grinding cracking sound. Liu Zhenyu's body was like being hit by a battering ram, creating a circular ripple in the air before he was sent flying backward.
Four-Eyes suddenly snapped out of his daze and saw a dark shadow flying towards him. Terrified, he instinctively covered his head and curled up on the ground.
With a loud "boom," the wall behind them shook.
Looking up, Liu Zhenyu's body was slowly sliding down the wall.
"Without the effect of the [Silence Ban], is this all you're capable of...?"
Nie Qingyun's voice came from a distance. He slowly straightened his posture, his face showing contempt from the inside out.
"Battles between evolved beings have never been a comparison of strength."
"It is a game of reasonable 'resource exchange' and information asymmetry."
"You never realized that from the beginning..."
"so……"
"Whether it's your attacks or your words and actions."
"I've already made all your advantages public..."
"No...no, no, no!" Liu Zhenyu, leaning against the wall, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide with rage as he roared:
"I can't lose!"
"I clearly received the [silence order]!"
"My attributes have been boosted!"
"I am going to kill you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Zhenyu was punched in the back of the head and slammed into the wall. As the blow bounced back, he was hit in the jaw with an uppercut, and his body was lifted off the ground by the force of the blow.
Amidst the splattering of blood, Nie Qingyun clenched his fist and slowly began to gather his strength.
"Do you know what the biggest difference is between you and me...?"
"Compared to someone like you who only yells 'I'm going to kill you' in impotent rage..."
"The moment the thought of 'killing you' arose in my mind, my body had already carried out the action!"
"Boom!" Liu Zhenyu, who was rising, was punched in the stomach. His body paused, he curled up like a shrimp, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Now, you can continue to cower in the shadows and pray for luck to help you lick your wounds!"
Liu Zhenyu's head was slammed into the wall again by a punch.
His consciousness was beginning to fade, leaving only a sliver of instinct; he slowly raised his fist and thrust it forward.
"Useless!" Nie Qingyun roared and threw a punch, which collided with the opponent's fist.
Head-to-head.
The air was instantly rippled.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhenyu's finger bones began to deform and then broke, and his entire hand was destroyed.
The remaining force traveled up his arm and popped the button on his cuff.
The clothes developed numerous tears.
Then came the second punch, the third punch...
Countless fist shadows were so fast that their trajectories were impossible to discern, like a 48-barreled machine gun, raining down on Liu Zhenyu like a storm.
His body was pinned to the wall by the relentless attacks.
Amidst the sounds of fists clashing, it swayed constantly, like a boat in a storm.
"It's useless! It's useless! It's useless! It's useless! It's useless!"
Nie Qingyun's attacks became faster and faster, as if countless arms had appeared behind him, relentlessly bombarding him.
"It's no use!"
The fist shadow disappeared, and Nie Qingyun slammed Liu Zhenyu's body into the ground with a powerful punch.
The latter's knees slammed into the marble floor, creating cracks, before his forehead slammed limply against the ground.
"Entrusting everything to the unknown you, even if I gain ten or a hundred incredibly powerful skills..."
"You still can't beat me."
"Now... pay the price for everything you've done."
The nanobots inside Nie Qingyun's body seemed to receive some kind of signal and instantly entered an overload state.
At that moment, all the blood surged into a frenzy.
Countless red and blue streaks of blood spread across his skin, eventually converging at his right fist, emitting a faint glow.
"sorry!!!"
Liu Zhenyu suddenly raised his head and shouted.
"I know I was wrong!!!"
"Let me go please!"
Then he tilted his head back.
His face was completely deformed, his features were a bloody mess twisted together.
The swollen flesh squeezed his eyes into slits.
Through his narrowed vision, Liu Zhenyu revealed a look of fear and pleading before slamming his head heavily to the ground.
"forgive me!"
"I...I know I was wrong!"
"Only now do you realize your mistake..." A cold smile appeared on Nie Qingyun's bloodshot face:
"I accept your apology..."
"But I will not forgive you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Liu Zhenyu by the head and lifted him off the ground.
As he released his grip, his right fist, glowing with blue light, struck the mangled face hard.
"boom!"
"Wow!"
Liu Zhenyu's body crashed through the window, flew out of the building, and then plummeted, disappearing from sight.
The bluish mist that had been swirling around the classroom also dissipated completely at the same time.
Everything returned to calm.
A gentle breeze outside the window softly stirred the black hair on Nie Qingyun's forehead.
Blood dripped down his fist and fell in front of Four Eyes.
The latter suddenly came to his senses and slowly raised his head.
As their eyes met, it was as if the blood in their bodies froze.
The other person's dark eyes were like those of a demon returned from hell.
"Nie Qingyun!!" A cheerful, joyful voice called out from behind.
The cruel yet cold expression on Nie Qingyun's face disappeared.
Instead, she wore a warm smile, as gentle as the sun.
The next second, a soft and light body crashed into his arms.
At the same time, a notification suddenly popped up in Nie Qingyun's mind.
Congratulations! You have unlocked the limited-time achievement: Hero in Adversity.
Chapter 58: You've Hurt Her
Congratulations! You have unlocked the limited-time achievement: Hero in Adversity.
[Obtain the Dying Treasure Chest of the Transcendentalist x1]
Heroes in Adversity
Type: Limited Achievement
Quality: EX
effect:
1. Passive - Increases all attributes by 10%.
2. Passive - In trial scenarios, if there are natives with "free will", and their attributes are lower than yours, your initial favorability will increase by 10.
Summary:
Dedicated to those souls who, even when imprisoned, still shine like gold.
Damn it? !
There's also an achievement system?
As this achievement notification appeared abruptly, all the momentum Nie Qingyun had accumulated vanished in an instant.
Only two words remained in my mind.
So strong...
The passive description for this title states that it increases all attributes by 10%, not the base attributes.
This means it can also boost other attribute bonuses!
When your attributes are low in the early stages, they may seem average, but they will improve as everyone's attributes increase.
This effect is absolutely amazing!
As for Passive 2, Nie Qingyun doesn't quite understand it yet, and it's not explained in detail in the [Apocalypse Survival Guide].
If we interpret it literally, it means increasing the favorability of NPC characters in the dungeon... something like that?
Suppressing his excitement, Nie Qingyun quickly searched for the keywords "achievements" again in the [Apocalypse Survival Guide].
Unfortunately, the [Data System] does not have a complete achievement function; achievements are only obtained by meeting certain special conditions.
Hmm... it can basically be classified as an uncontrollable factor.
If we look at it differently, to some extent, Lady Luck wasn't entirely on Liu Zhenyu's side.
Even disregarding all other factors, just obtaining this title makes everything that came before worthwhile.
This permanent 10% attribute boost is equivalent to investing in a sure-fire insurance policy for the future.
After equipping the [Hero in Adversity] item, Nie Qingyun turned his attention to the [Transcendent's Dying Treasure Chest].
According to the explanation in the "Apocalypse Survival Guide", the "Dying Treasure Chest" is the relic left in this world by the person who possessed the "Data System" after death.
It will always drop 50 to 200 [Primal Crystals], and the higher the quantity, the lower the probability.
In addition, you can randomly obtain some of the items and skills that the transcendent possessed in their lifetime.
Nie Qingyun's heart was beating a little fast.
Based on his past experience with gacha pulls in games, obtaining the "Hero in Adversity" achievement already meant he had used up his "guaranteed reward".
This is definitely not the time to open boxes.
However, being able to defeat Liu Zhenyu, a cheat with such an overpowered skill, really excited Nie Qingyun.
The battle was extremely fierce.
Although it cannot be described as the kind of battle for immortality depicted in movies and TV shows.
But for him, this victory was also an echo of the beliefs in his heart.
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated and chose to open it directly.
