Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

The Soldier Tokens of the Celestial Punishment Element emphasize offensive capabilities, with weaker survival abilities.

Su Xi's three-second blood lock has ended, and now she's hanging by a thread, resembling an injured kitten with its fur bristled, cautiously vigilant of everyone ahead as she leans against the camp door.

Lusen was cut once, not only due to his speed being too fast but more importantly due to Su Xi's instinctive reaction.

Lin Rui cautiously opened her profile; the traits and skills were almost identical to Su Ye's.

She only had one more Epic Trait compared to Su Ye when she advanced to Tier Five.

[Silent Judgment: Epic: Pain is the illusion of the senses; fear is the illusion of the mind. Only death awaits everyone like a silent judge. Hits will tear the opponent's will and soul, deducting a proportion of total life value based on the difference.]

No wonder Su Ye was instantly defeated by a single strike. This guy has no resistance to feminine allure, his Soul Strength is 160, but his Willpower is only 90, forcing a 70% life reduction with one cut.

But for someone like Lin Rui whose attributes are balanced, Su Xi's trait-inflicted damage was significantly reduced.

The calmness and poise always come from strength; Lin Rui closed the attribute panel after reviewing her trait and calmly asked, "Do you want to heal your wounds first? In this state, even the aftershock of a battle might cost you your life."

Su Xi supported herself with her sword, stubbornly stood up, and said, "I know what you're thinking. But don't bother, I will not submit to any force unless someone defeats me fair and square."

Lin Rui casually said, "Even if we fight, you should heal first. In this state, a touch would be fatal, and even if we win, it wouldn't be honorable."

Although Su Xi is stubborn, she is very rational and didn't impulsively refuse. After pondering, she nodded.

This leaves Lin Rui in a dilemma, as he couldn't heal this epic-level beauty.

Su Xi has only 1 point of life, but Lin Rui's Waist Binding healing first deducts 2 points of life. If a set of Ice Needle is applied, Su Xi wouldn't be able to support herself, directly succumbing.

Lin Rui could only send for Yvette, a Tier Three Life Sacrifice, one of the few normal priests in the territory, who can heal by prayer and spell casting. Unlike other priest sisters who must first strike enemies before healing allies.

Yvette, after casting spells until she turned pale, reluctantly said to Lin Rui, "Lord, her life value is too high. I can only recover this much even with full effort."

Lin Rui calmly nodded, "That's enough. I will treat the rest. Let the Woodland Fairy come over to restore your condition. If you come when recruiting the Ogre Prisoner Camp captives next time, it will prevent unexpected situations where treatment is insufficient."

Compared to the calm and collected state of the territory, Su Xi is much more fierce. She moved her arms and said, "That's enough, no need to heal me anymore, I don't want to owe you anything. In this state, if you beat me, my words will still stand."

Yvette turned to her, smiling as she said, "You really are confident."

Su Xi flicked her long knife and silently looked at Lin Rui. She naturally felt confident about herself, as an Explorer Territory couldn't possibly have anyone stronger than her.

Lin Rui, hands behind his back, looked at her and asked, "Not waiting until your trait status is fully restored? Your Fearless Brave isn't ready yet, right?"

"No need, it's unnecessary."

"Then there's no need to fight; you've lost," Lin Rui said indifferently.

"How could that be!" Su Xi was furious.

"Why not? Su Ye is also a Celestial Punishment Hunter, capable of bursting remaining life."

"But his state already burst just now."

Lin Rui raised an eyebrow, "Who said he can lock only once? He was locked by a Holy Spirit Level Heroic Commander, able to lock his state for fifteen seconds. He's just returned; do you want to try cutting for twelve seconds first?"

The thought of returning to see a pair of unrivalled legs vanished instantly from Su Ye's mind, and he turned to flee at once, angrily shouting from afar, "I'd rather die than go up and get cut! [Celestial Punishment Prayer] is downright excruciating, almost making me unable to rise!"

Su Xi was surprised to see Su Ye vanish into the horizon and asked, "Explorer Lord, are you sure someone like him can beat me? And he's just Tier Four!"

Lin Rui's composed attitude was almost broken by Su Ye, this unreliable guy couldn't uphold a decent image!

Lin Rui took a deep breath, needing to maintain his image in front of newcomers at any cost, so he extended a hand, and stacks of Experience Books emerged from the spatial treasure.

"Two hundred Experience Books, enough for him to level up multiple times. If no one heals you, it will take some time to recover to full status. In that time, he can ascend to Tier Five. With the Holy Spirit Level Commander, his power will multiply several times. At the same Tier Five, you're definitely not his match. Moreover, he can accumulate blood lock for eighteen seconds. I think this is enough for you to see the reality; it's unnecessary to fight."

Su Xi bit her lip, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, then sheathed her sword, sighed softly, "You're right, I concede."

[Ding, a Tier Five Epic-level Celestial Punishment Hunter Su Xi admires your strength and requests to join your army, do you accept?]

Lin Rui chose to accept without expression, and only after Su Ye and Su Xi completely left did Lin Rui abruptly turn around, leaning against the camp door, chest heaving violently as he took deep breaths.
