Indeed, she wasn’t weak—according to Su Xiao’s calculation, the Queen’s vitality was 24 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, when the Queen used [Mithril Chains], the Paradise had warned: “The caster’s vitality is 2.33 times yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s vitality was 6 points; 6 times 2.33 equals 13.98, and attribute values were typically rounded—so the Queen’s vitality was 14.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking the unknown liquid, the Queen’s three attributes increased by 10—meaning her current vitality was now 24.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once vitality exceeded 20 points, a startling change occurred: the sharp Dragon-Slice struggled even to break through her defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Queen’s arm was wounded by Su Xiao’s strike, the wound stopped bleeding within seconds and showed signs of healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sssss~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wisp of green smoke rose from the wound, and the Queen’s injury sealed shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this astonishing change, Su Xiao’s lip twitched—her recovery was monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being wounded, the Queen froze in place, as if thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her blood-red bestial eyes trembled; two seconds later, the red faded from her gaze, and clarity returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This damn blood—finally cleared the vitality attribute check.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen’s current state triggered a check every 10 seconds; if she passed, she regained consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Zi, don’t hide—come out. As long as I’m alive, he can’t touch you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the Queen and Su Xiao hung the [Mithril Chains]; Ye Zi stepped out from the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Zi had an excellent figure—though not voluptuous, even somewhat flat-chested, her delicate face and natural aura gave her a unique charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen walked to the knight’s sword on the ground, stomped the hilt, and the sword leapt into her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Zi, cast ‘Sacred’ on me, then execute Plan C.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Queen’s command, Ye Zi clasped her hands before her, releasing a flood of green light particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The particles gathered above her head, forming two small birds—one green, one blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two vivid elemental birds flapped their wings and flew to the Queen’s head, each occupying one side, circling her in a perfect ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the birds flew, emerald and azure light particles drifted down, seeping into the Queen’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen’s HP, which had dropped to one-fifth, surged rapidly; within three seconds, she was fully restored—and no longer losing HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that her temporary passive had vanished—it was that her current healing rate now exceeded 3% per second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This feeling of power… is intoxicating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen smiled seductively, tilting her head toward Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you ready to die now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen’s confident smile seemed to pronounce Su Xiao’s death sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao visibly faltered, then let out a bitter laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think suddenly boosting your stats makes you my match?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Queen’s strength or agility had exceeded 20 points, Su Xiao might have been outmatched—such stats could create crushing dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Queen’s vitality exceeded 20—not because vitality was weak, but because her temporary passive caused percentage-based HP loss, nullifying the benefit of high vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, aside from slightly higher strength and agility, the Queen posed little real threat to Su Xiao—so long as he watched for those undetected skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Su Xiao’s view, a shield warrior wielding a sword against him was laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she think his [Sword Mastery: Lv.3] was just for show?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of Su Xiao’s gains from the Pirate World had been invested in [Sword Mastery].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Slice let out a clear hum as Su Xiao closed the distance, determined to show her what real combat was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His long blade sliced toward the Queen’s head with a howling wind; instinctively, she raised her knight’s sword to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp clang rang out—sparks flew between blade and sword; the Queen had blocked Su Xiao’s strike, giving her a boost of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, suddenly, searing pain erupted in her abdomen, and her body involuntarily flew backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-air, she felt a burning sensation on her face—her cheek had been slashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen rolled twice on the hard pavement, then sprang to her feet, eyes dazed—she had no idea what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao flicked the blood from his Dragon-Slice, the blade angled toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your melee skill? You dare fight me up close? Combat isn’t about hiding behind a shield—you can’t fight without it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen was stunned by Su Xiao’s combo; she still didn’t understand why she’d been flung back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swallowed hard, then realized: the gap between her and this man wasn’t in stats or skills—it was in combat experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That HP recovery ability—I don’t believe it’ll last. When it fades, that’s when you die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s words darkened the Queen’s expression; the truth was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t believe you can dodge this sword strike.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen stood upright, gripping her knight’s sword with one hand, raising it high toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy Sword Slash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen cried out with full Qishi —this was her only powerful offensive technique, reserved for emergencies, and now finally used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night wind stirred the Queen’s long hair—but after her cry, nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to her, her MP had dropped to just 6 points—she could no longer cast skills; [Qinggangying] had burned through most of her MP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the Queen standing with her sword raised to the sky gave Su Xiao a distinctly otaku vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>",1349,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","034aca0fb996f0464b176858bb23ac7114c7a6ec8d246d51b937c7ee5e56c186","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-62","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-60",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
