Chapter 100, Disadvantages of Increasing One’s Strength Too Quickly
Above the Yang Lake was an enormous Ancient Draconic Croc, incomparably terrifying.
Liu Yan, beside the lake, appeared to be extremely tiny compared to the Ancient Draconic Croc.
Liu Yan remained standing quietly in the face of the terrifying roar of the Ancient Draconic Croc. His expression was calm.
Even Chu Long and Murong Xue, standing a little further away, couldn’t help but feel tremendous pressure when facing the Ancient Draconic Croc’s terrifying aura, despite their extremely rare S-grade talents and not having low levels. They had even completed their class transitions, so their strength wasn’t weak.
Liu Yan glanced at the Ancient Draconic Croc, then took out his Myriad Beast Bow from his spatial ring.
After drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, he activated his A-grade skill, Flame Control, and terrifying fire elements instantly covered the arrows’ feathers.
He then activated his B-grade skill, Poison Control, and all sorts of potent toxins were attached to the arrow.
At the same time, he also activated his C-grade skill, Wind Control, to increase the arrow’s speed.
Finally, he activated his A-grade skill, Split. The arrow shot out instantly split into five arrows.
The five arrows were all imbued with powerful fire elements and various poisons, but their power didn’t decrease in the slightest.
The Ancient Draconic Croc’s body was huge, and its defense was astonishing. So, it didn’t take Liu Yan’s attack seriously and didn’t even dodge.
The five arrows directly hit it, but they could not penetrate the terrifying armor of the Ancient Draconic Croc.
The fire elements and poison exploded, but the poison couldn’t enter the Ancient Draconic Croc’s body and so was unable to cause much damage to it.
However, when the terrifying fire elements exploded, it caused a lot of damage to the Ancient Draconic Croc. Even its skin was a little charred.
The Ancient Draconic Croc looked at Liu Yan in surprise. It did not expect that there was actually a puny human who could harm it in this low-level place.
At that moment, the Awakened, watching from afar, saw that Liu Yan took the initiative to attack the Ancient Draconic Croc. All of them were shocked.
“What is this guy doing? Does he want to die?”
“I don’t understand. Why is this guy still not running away? Is he thinking about attacking the Ancient Draconic Croc?”
“That’s right. He just lured the Ancient Draconic Croc out and chased us away. He has already achieved his goal. Why isn’t he running away?”
“Why do I feel like this guy is really going to attack the Ancient Draconic Croc?”
“Look, this guy is so strong. He actually caused damage to the Ancient Draconic Croc!”
“…”
The Awakened were all shocked when they saw that not only did Liu Yan attack the Ancient Draconic Croc, but it also seemed like Liu Yan’s attack had some effect, causing damage to the Ancient Draconic Croc.
Liu Yan looked at the wound on the Ancient Draconic Croc’s body and wasn’t satisfied.
That arrow was almost half the strength that Liu Yan could display with his archery. Although it caused damage to the Ancient Draconic Croc, it was minimal damage. Considering the Ancient Draconic Croc’s tough skin and thick flesh, it was not painful.
Other than the skills he had just used, the most Liu Yan could do was to use his A-grade skill, Electrification, to attach the power of the Lightning attribute to the arrow. The damage would be slightly greater, but it would not be much greater.
As for the Power of Desolation and others, the weak Myriad Beast Bow could not withstand Liu Yan’s terrifying power.
Liu Yan frowned slightly. It seemed like he would have to get a powerful bow and arrow to use later. The Myriad Beast Bow really couldn’t keep up.
It wasn’t that the Myriad Beast Bow wasn’t strong. In fact, the Myriad Beast Bow had already reached C-grade. The Awakened on level three of the Tower would be lucky to have a D-grade weapon, let alone a C-grade one.
It was just that Liu Yan’s strength had increased too quickly. The Myriad Beast Bow couldn’t match up to Liu Yan’s strength at all.
After all, since Liu Yan entered level three of the Tower, his overall combat strength had probably increased by more than ten times.
If he continued to use the Myriad Beast Bow, he would be able to deal damage to the Ancient Draconic Croc. However, the damage would be too small. Even if he could finish the Ancient Draconic Croc, he would still need to spend a lot of time. That was clearly not what Liu Yan wanted to see.
Following that, Liu Yan immediately put away the Myriad Beast Bow and prepared to deal with the Ancient Draconic Croc in close combat.
At that moment, the Ancient Draconic Croc had already launched its attack. With a roar, it opened its mouth and spat out a water pillar.
On the surface, it was just a simple water pillar, but it contained a terrifying momentum.
Seeing this, Liu Yan naturally would not face it head-on. Relying on the movement technique of his newly transited Dark Ranger class, Flicker, he moved his body slightly to the side and cleverly dodged it.
Flicker didn’t increase Liu Yan’s speed much, but the increase in his bodily movement was enormous, making Liu Yan’s bodily movement incredibly nimble.
In addition, Liu Yan’s agility attribute was already wildly exaggerated. Now, Liu Yan’s speed and agility were already very terrifying. He could face the Ancient Draconic Croc’s attacks utterly effortlessly.
There was no need to use the S-grade skill, Sonic Speed. It could be used as a hidden trump card.
The S-grade skill, Sonic Speed, was a terrifying speed skill obtained from the Golden-armored Blue Ape. Using it could give Liu Yan a terrifying speed of sixteen times the speed of sound. Liu Yan didn’t want to use it unless necessary.
Although the Ancient Draconic Croc in front of him was extremely powerful, it hadn’t reached the point of using Sonic Speed.
After dodging the attacks of the Ancient Draconic Croc, Liu Yan didn’t retreat. Instead, he charged straight toward the Ancient Draconic Croc.
When the Ancient Draconic Croc saw this, its eyes immediately flashed with joy.
It was originally best at close combat but not good in long-range. So, it was currently unable to do anything to that agile human from long-range. It didn’t expect that human to actually be stupid enough to dare to fight it in close combat.
The Awakened, watching from afar, were even more shocked when they saw this. They had seen bold people before, but not so bold ones. Not only did he dare provoke the terrifying Ancient Draconic Croc, he even dared to take the initiative to fight it in close combat.
“Damn, why is this person so bold?”
“Fighting the Ancient Draconic Croc in close combat? Is he serious?”
“Even though we are Awakened, and our physical fitness might have greatly enhanced, we are still humans. We can’t be compared to fierce beasts high in physical fitness, especially this Ancient Draconic Croc.”
Even Murong Xue and Chu Long, who were in charge of guarding not far from Liu Yan, were shocked when they saw the situation. They did not expect Liu Yan to be so bold and were immediately worried.
However, the two women also understood that that was the crucial period of Liu Yan’s battle. No matter how worried they were, they did not dare to make a sound to stop him. They did not want to affect Liu Yan’s attention and affect Liu Yan’s battle.
Just then, Liu Yan had already arrived in front of the Ancient Draconic Croc. The Ancient Draconic Croc was already prepared, and its huge mouth directly bit Liu Yan.
Liu Yan’s Flicker was highly nimble. In a flash, he easily dodged and arrived beside the Ancient Draconic Croc.
When he dodged the Ancient Draconic Croc’s attack, he also launched his attack simultaneously.
A-grade weapon, Soft Blade Boxing Gloves, fully activated.
A-grade skill, Flame Control, was activated, attaching a terrifying element to his body and the Soft Blade Boxing Gloves.
A-grade skill, Power of Desolation, was activated, and Liu Yan’s strength received an alarming increase.
Finally, his A-grade skill, Blazing Tyrant Fist, was activated. Liu Yan’s gaze turned cold, and he suddenly punched the Ancient Draconic Croc with a terrifying might.
