Chapter 2787

Zhao Chi smiled: "For a virtual person, your hatred toward me is pretty high."

"Words are useless—die!!"

Yanping leaped high, claws crossed, launching a furious attack!

Zhao Chi narrowed his eyes: "Your speed... doesn't seem that fast anymore."

The twin claws slammed down.

The shield was raised.

Boom boom!

Firmly blocked.

But he could indeed feel the tremendous force transmitted from the other side of the shield.

Zhao Chi couldn't help being knocked back two steps.

"Slow? Does a dead man even have the right to say that?" Yanping's icy voice came from the left.

Crack.

But he was behind Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi whipped his hammer around in haste—missed.

"You're the slow one! Take this!"

A flash of light appeared, and Yanping's speed suddenly surged.

Just now he was behind; the next moment Zhao Chi came to his senses, two wolf claws were already filling his pupils.

He couldn't dodge anymore, and there was no time to block with the shield.

Boom boom! Boom boom!

Zhao Chi's head was instantly struck four heavy blows; the thick steel helmet burst apart, and Zhao Chi's head was exposed.

Indeed a bit fast...

The Yanping who had been dismissive moments ago now wore a slightly solemn expression.

He said, somewhat puzzled: "A premium ultra-heavy steel helmet? And you, you son of a bitch, can actually wear it?"

This was not a weight a human could endure—Yanping was a battle-hardened Gao Jie wolfman hero, so of course he could tell at a glance.

Precisely because he could tell, he felt something was off.

Zhao Chi swung his hammer: "Don't get too into it, hurry up and fight, you talk way too much."

Yanping dodged sideways, grinning viciously: "You know death is at hand, so you're playing it cool? Want to die? I'll grant your wish!!"

Once again, Yanping lunged.

Boom!

The shield blocked one claw.

"What about this strike!?"

Pfft!

The other claw struck Zhao Chi dead on the top of his head.

"Ouch..."

Agony!

Fresh blood burst out like a fountain.

Zhao Chi hissed in pain, sucking in a cold breath.

Yanping also sucked in a cold breath.

He was clearly extremely shocked.

"You... didn't die??"

That was a strike with all his strength, one that could shatter steel armor.

How could Zhao Chi's head be harder than steel armor?

Yanping clearly couldn't understand.

Taking advantage of his daze, Zhao Chi attacked at full speed.

The great hammer swung out in rapid succession; Yanping instantly retreated, out of reach.

Yanping bared his fangs: "Dammit, didn't expect you to practice the Iron Head Skill—blocked me once, can you block ten times? Die!!"

Zhao Chi wanted to laugh.

What the hell Iron Head Skill, when did I ever practice that?

But Yanping had already charged in.

Whoosh~!

Very fast, fast enough to leave afterimages.

Although blurry and barely so, Zhao Chi could still catch his movements.

Unfortunately, perception was enough, but his body simply couldn't keep up.

The armor, weapons, and shield on his body were all too heavy.

Boom boom! Pfft!!

His head took three consecutive strikes.

He withstood two; on the third, his head exploded.

【You have been defeated. Battle ended.】

An end prompt appeared before his eyes.

The pain in Zhao Chi's head vanished instantly, and the Yanping who had been coldly sneering before him also disappeared.

The battlefield was reset.

The entire virtual battlefield now had only Zhao Chi alone on it.

Zhao Chi let out a breath of relief.

Even though he knew it was a virtual battlefield, the pressure just now had still been real.

Especially that hit he took — the pain really was piercing to the bone.

Should he dial the pain sensation down a notch?

Forget it.

Endurance of pain is something that has to be trained too. Being able to stay calm and respond under extreme agony is very hard.

Zhao Chi couldn't do that yet.

Now that he could train this ability safely, he absolutely couldn't run from it.

He even had to double it!

【Please select from the following options】

【1. Watch replay】

【2. Retry challenge】

【3. Reset settings】

【4. Exit battlefield】

【5. Exit interface】

Zhao Chi selected 3.

Pain sensation adjusted to 200%!

Then he exited the interface.

Zhao Chi stood on the empty, open battlefield, thinking over the fight just now.

Yan Ping was still very strong.

But Zhao Chi hadn't gone all out either — he hadn't used any skills at all, including enhancement-type skills.

He had wanted to rely on his extremely high stats and go head-to-head with Yan Ping.

But clearly, that way he was no match for Yan Ping.

At the very least, an all-vitality stat allocation wouldn't work.

That kind of allocation wasn't useless either — its effect was obvious.

Zhao Chi had been able to take Yan Ping's three heavy claw strikes head-on with his bare skull.

Agonizing, yes, but he had endured them.

Those were Yan Ping's ferocious attacks — his claws could really tear through steel armor with ease, so this vitality enhancement was extremely useful.
