Chapter 25: Easy, Little Sister! You Are Invincible, My Child
Page (1/3)
“Yourong, let me.”
Seeing this, Su Yu, who had been the first to climb onto the tree trunk, hurriedly reached out and grabbed Yu Yourong’s arm before giving it a sharp pull upward.
“Ow! Easy, girl!”
Yu Yourong made it up, but the two soft mounds on her chest had been painfully squeezed against the trunk. The moment she climbed over, she began rubbing them vigorously.
“Yourong, are you all right?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine. A little rubbing will do the trick.”
Yu Yourong waved her hand. She knew Su Yu had not meant to hurt her. If anyone was to blame, it was her own two... overly generous assets for getting in the way.
“Hold on tight. It’s coming out!”
The instant Su Nian finished warning them, the three of them felt the unmistakable tremors beneath their feet. None of them dared slacken for even a moment, and they hurriedly grabbed onto the nearby branches.
Rumble!
The moment they secured themselves, the trembling suddenly intensified. Even the earth below began splitting apart inch by inch.
Su Nian narrowed his eyes, silently calculating the boss’s arrival time. Then, at a certain moment...
Boom!
The instant the serpent’s head burst from the ground, Su Nian seemed to possess the foresight of a seasoned warrior. He took a step backward ahead of time, dodging the incoming knockback, then decisively raised his hand and counterattacked.
[-209.]
[-222.]
[Talent did not trigger...]
“The big shot’s hand speed is incredible! Wait... can he actually beat it?”
Staring at the terrifying statistics of the Ferocious Colossal Serpent, the three of them grew solemn.
While unease filled their hearts, the Ferocious Colossal Serpent also noticed the human standing before it.
“Hiss?”
Wasn’t this the human it had chased before? How dare he come back? And he had come alone?
He really didn’t take this snake seriously!
Did he actually think it was made of mud?
The Ferocious Colossal Serpent let out another roar. It raised its thick, powerful tail and lashed it straight at Su Nian.
The speed of the colossal serpent’s strike was astonishing.
Taking that blow head-on would definitely hurt!
Yet under the three girls’ tense gazes from the tree, Su Nian stood where he was without dodging. He merely raised his left hand in what appeared to be... a blocking stance?
Yu Yourong was dumbfounded.
Was the big shot really not afraid?
Or could this be...
Some kind of talent?
For example, perhaps he could stand perfectly still and avoid certain types of damage?
Yu Yourong guessed that the big shot’s talent was probably formidable. But the next second, when a string of numbers suddenly appeared before her eyes, she realized...

She had still been thinking far too conservatively!
[Health -581.]
[Player Nickname: Slaughter All Under Heaven.]
[Level: Lv. 9.]
[Health: 77,371/77,952.]
Yu Yourong: “???”
The moment she saw those numbers, her pupils contracted violently.
More than seventy-seven thousand health?
This... had to be fake, right?
Yu Yourong found it utterly unbelievable.
She rubbed her eyes and looked again.
Good heavens...
It was real!
What kind of talent was this? It was far too outrageous!
Suddenly, as though she had thought of something, she hurriedly shifted closer to Su Yu and whispered into her ear, “Look at the big shot’s health. He has more than seventy-seven thousand!”
“Why don’t you use your talent to bind yourself to him? A three-hundred-percent increase on more than seventy-seven thousand health would give him over two hundred thousand!”
“With that alone...”
“Girl, you’d be invincible!”
Su Yu immediately shook her head. “I think the soul bond can wait. Besides... I already have someone in mind. I just don’t know where he is.”
Yu Yourong caught the scent of gossip and gave a sly grin. “That person is the real reason, isn’t he? You’re so hung up on him. Could he be... your boyfriend?”
At the word “boyfriend,” Su Yu’s pretty face visibly flushed red. Yet she did not offer any rebuttal. She merely let out a soft nasal hum.
They had kissed...
That probably meant they counted as a couple, right?
“I’m really envious of you two... holy crap!”
Before Yu Yourong could finish speaking, the moment the corner of her eye caught sight of what had suddenly happened below, she froze in utter shock, looking as though her entire worldview had collapsed.
Not far away, Hou Xiaoyu was experiencing the same crisis of faith.
In the clearing below, the Ferocious Colossal Serpent, which had been lively and vigorous just a moment earlier, suddenly...
[-42,245.]
[Successfully triggered the One Hundred Percent Instant-Kill Talent. Damage doubled due to the First Boss Kill title!]
[Defeated the Level 15 Boss, Ferocious Colossal Serpent. Average experience gained by party members: +450.]
Staring at the boss’s corpse lying beside the big shot’s feet, the two of them were completely stunned.
If they remembered correctly, that boss...
Should still have had more than twenty thousand health, right?
And then...
It had been killed instantly?
At that moment, Hou Xiaoyu and Yu Yourong stood there blankly, their minds completely frozen.
Until...
[Server-Wide Announcement: Congratulations to the players Slaughter All Under Heaven, Greathearted, Hou Xiaoyu, and Miss You for becoming the first party on this server to defeat the boss, Ferocious Colossal Serpent!]
[Special rewards for each player: 10 Free Attribute Points, 1 Random Blue-Grade Equipment Item, 5 Skill Points, and 100 Gold Coins!]
[Server-Wide Announcement...]
The succession of server-wide announcements not only jolted the two stunned players back to their senses, but also sent the world channel into another frenzy.
“Good grief, four people cleared a boss first? I remember the Haofeng Club brought nearly a hundred people yesterday, only for the entire group to be wiped out by a single giant-tree boss!”
“Slaughter All Under Heaven? Isn’t that the big shot ranked second on the level leaderboard? And... isn’t Greathearted the owner of the Xingyu Club?”
“Did Slaughter All Under Heaven join the Xingyu Club?”
“Wait... isn’t Hou Xiaoyu the younger brother of our Haofeng Guild Master? What’s going on?”
“Holy crap, this is huge gossip!”
“I feel like Slaughter All Under Heaven is inferior to the Emperor.”
“Buddy, who gave you the right to rate them?”
“...”
[Ferocious Colossal Serpent’s Loot: 20 Free Attribute Points, 50 Gold Coins, 1 Blue-Grade Helmet, 1 C-Grade Skill Book.]
“I’ll take the attribute points. The helmet suits an assassin, and the skill book is for an archer. As for the gold... give it to Yourong.”
The moment Su Nian finished speaking, all three of them received a gift notification.
Hou Xiaoyu froze, then was the first to recover. “Big shot, the current value of this blue-grade equipment is...”
Before he could finish, Su Nian waved his hand and cut him off. “Pay whatever you think is fair. A few thousand is fine, and a few hundred is fine too.”
Hou Xiaoyu: “Understood. Nine thousand per item!”
Su Nian: “...”
“Hehe, the big shot really is the best!” After saying this, Yu Yourong watched the still-looping server-wide announcements with a dreamy expression. “Being the center of attention for every player on the server feels absolutely amazing... My friend requests are overflowing!”
Hou Xiaoyu: “Same here.”
Su Yu: “Plus one.”
“If it feels that good, then let’s keep going!”
The three of them: “???”
