Chapter 932: Spiked Turtle

Although he's already at Third Rebirth, as an agile pure‑damage archer Lin Huan's HP is barely just over ten thousand… That's thanks to decent equipment; most Third Rebirth archers probably have HP over ten thousand and are quite formidable.

This time Lin Huan's HP almost hit the bottom~

Lin Huan hurriedly pulled out a Blood Bottle and took a sip!

And the opponent's "Tu Dou" never attacked at all, only Reflect Damage…

Even when Lin Huan was down to low HP, the other still didn't launch an attack, remaining steadfast in place.

Lin Huan stared at the Shield Raise silhouette and felt a pang of toothache!

This damn thing is a turtle covered head‑to‑toe in spines!

No wonder that defensive knight can make it into the global combat rankings!

Lin Huan didn't rush to attack; instead, wielding his longbow, he circled the "Tu Dou"—shredded potatoes with mashed potatoes—this Mao Xiong nation's "spiky turtle", looking for a way to break the deadlock.

Su Sheng, in Tourist Mode, watched Huan Jie's moves and gave a slight shake of his head… Heavenly counter! That's absolute suppression!

You hit me, I'm fine, you killed yourself with Reflect Damage!

How to break it?

Putting yourself in Huan Jie's shoes, you'd probably have no good way to break the stalemate; this one‑on‑one situation is basically unsolvable.

This guy is literally a fragile output that counters everything!

Of course, if Su Sheng faced him, who knows!

Even if Reflect Damage swaps blood!

Su Sheng doesn't feel his HP is thicker than his own, and even Reflect Damage is reduced by defense.

But for a fragile output like Huan Jie, it's truly difficult…

However, in theory there shouldn't be a completely unsolvable mechanic… unless it's sheer numerical overpowering; mechanically there should be balance.

Su Sheng kept observing the arena, and several possible tactics formed in his mind, but in his situation he couldn't inform Huan Jie.

Once in the arena match, all external communications are cut off; even the game pod's phone lines don't work, and forcing a logout results in an automatic loss!

No chance to exploit a loophole!

Now it's up to Huan Jie's attempts!

Lin Huan circled around this Mao Xiong player…

But the opponent was steady as an old dog! Just rotating his body, still staying in place… always keeping his Shield facing Lin Huan.

The match has a time limit, up to ten minutes; if there's no result, win/loss is decided by actual percentage.

Lin Huan's HP was nearly empty earlier; he only lost a bit of health, so if time runs out he'll win, thus he's not in a hurry at all.

And after observing for nearly a minute, Lin Huan tried to attack again!

Three arrows!

One dealt damage, but Lin Huan still had Reflect Damage on his head; the other two arrows were reflected back!

But this time Lin Huan was prepared and simply dodged!

Then Lin Huan's expression changed! He raised his bow and shot arrows into the sky!

Throw!

One launch fires three arrows!

But the trajectory of the Throw is very obvious and a bit slower; normally it's only used at extreme range and mainly in team battles.

Since the number of Throw arrows is small and doesn't form Arrow Rain, it's easy to dodge!

But the Mao Xiong player still neither dodged nor evaded!

He only raised his Shield when the arrows were about to land on his head!

Swish~

This time one was deflected, but because it was a Throw arrow, its trajectory was chaotic and didn't return as before, instead flying off to the side.

But both damage sources still had Reflect Damage appearing on Lin Huan's head…

And Lin Huan, seeing this, confirmed his suspicion!

He nocked another arrow!

Throw! Swish~

The Mao Xiong player repeated the same trick!

But when the Mao Xiong player raised his Shield!

Lin Huan narrowed his eyes! Nocked another arrow!

Swish~

Another three arrows! Precise attacks hit the Mao Xiong player!

Puff~

This time all three Throw arrows were deflected, but the three straight‑shot arrows, because the opponent raised his Shield, landed cleanly on him.

Three damage numbers popped up~

Each arrow's damage was over three thousand!

Compared to the previous shield‑based damage, this is nearly half higher, and the Reflect Damage on Lin Huan's head is only… 50 to 60!

Lin Huan's face lit up with joy!

Just as expected!

This guy may be a hedgehog turtle!

But his hedgehog turtle shell is his Shield; if you can find a way to bypass his Shield, you have a chance to defeat him!

But… avoiding a defensive knight's Tower Shield attack on him is not easy.

After all, a defensive knight's Tower Shield is damn bigger than they are!

One can almost completely hide behind the shield, at most showing just a head.

Lin Huan felt somewhat torn for a moment.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of a beautiful lady from East University Huaxia, very smart, you've just found my weakness." The potato shreds with mashed potatoes chuckled and said.

His professional mechanism had been seen through, but he wasn't in a hurry.

As the saying goes, seeing through is one thing, but whether you can solve it after seeing through is another matter.

Afterward, they still calmly raised their shield and stood in place.

Some other players watching the match also felt a sense of gloom.

"It's probably a hidden class; an ordinary defensive knight couldn't achieve this level."

"It's a hundred percent, and this mechanism against fragile output is truly a natural counter."

Lin Huan again repeated his old trick, directly nocking and shooting an arrow!

Swish~

The arrow traced a parabolic arc~

But this time, the mashed potatoes with potato shreds simply gave a faint smile, then shifted sideways two steps.

Missed~

Missed~

Lin Huan also felt helpless about this; the projectile attack wasn't large-scale, making it easy to dodge.

Shock Arrow!

Lin Huan again nocked and shot an arrow! He directly fired a chicken-leg arrow!

Let's see if we can make him lose balance, then attack~

When off-balance, one cannot raise the shield.

But the outcome is cruel; under normal circumstances, the defensive knight player's toughness is the highest among all professions, so even if the Shock Arrow works, its effect is not great.

Moreover, now the Shock Arrow was directly reflected back~

Lin Huan could only dodge~

Time's up!

Lost...

Facing such a smelly and hard turtle shell that can also reflect damage, Lin Huan really feels helpless.

Returning to the spectator stand, Lin Huan wore a look of gloom; this is even more helpless than being defeated head-on.

That Mao Xiong player never launched an attack the whole time!

He didn't even move more than ten yards...

Frustrating!

"Huan Jie, if I get the chance I'll get revenge for you!" Su Sheng laughed as he took Huan Jie's little hand.

"Give him a brutal beating!" Huan Jie said resentfully; this was the most frustrating time after fighting so long.

"I will obey the empress's decree!"

"Are you the emperor?"

"If you're the empress, then I'm the emperor!"

"Well, I'm not saying anymore—if you treat your husband as a security guard, you're a janitor~ if you treat your husband as an emperor, you're the empress~"

Eh~

The surrounding Domestic Server participants directly got a mouthful of dog food.

Soon the next round of matchmaking began.

Swish~

Su Sheng was then teleported in.
