109: Crushing the Lord with a Fist! First Trial of the Cinder King!

From then on, Su Mo began a frantic solo dungeon-crawling spree.

From the fifty-first floor to the fifty-ninth floor, every monster, whether elite or in hordes, was reduced to mere roadside ants before Su Mo, who had become a Netherworld Cinder Lord.

All it took was the simplest, most brutal punch!

With a terrifying 2,400 points of strength, combined with the powerful destructive effect of Armament Haki - Flowing Sakura, no monster could withstand his punch. It was truly one punch, one group of little friends!

The scene made Xiao Wu's pink, big eyes, following behind him, sparkle with wonder.

Nine floors were easily cleared by Su Mo in less than half a day, and his gains were immense.

Each floor was guaranteed to have a golden treasure chest. With the blessing of Xiao Wu, his "Goddess of Luck," the nine large golden treasure chests yielded nine epic-grade weapons, each with different attributes.

Under the blessing of the Greed talent, these weapons directly multiplied into ninety.

Although Su Mo considered the attributes of these epic-grade weapons to be trash, their sheer quantity was undeniable.

If all of them were sold to the system, it would be a substantial income.

Besides equipment, Su Mo's level also saw a huge increase.

A large amount of experience caused his level to skyrocket.

"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up! Current Level: LV22!"

A golden light flashed across Su Mo's body.

"Ding! Congratulations on reaching Level 22, you have gained 100 free attribute points!"

"One hundred free attribute points?"

Su Mo unhesitatingly allocated all one hundred points to his new core attribute, Netherworld Fire.

He wanted to make his "strength" bigger and stronger.

"Ding! Attribute points added successfully!"

Su Mo immediately opened his attribute panel, and saw the number in the Netherworld Fire column instantly change from 400 to 800.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Although Su Mo still didn't understand why the Lord of Greed's bonus also applied to this attribute, it didn't stop him from getting stronger.

"Let's go, Xiao Wu, to the last floor!"

Su Mo, full of vigor, took Xiao Wu's hand and walked towards the elevator leading to the sixtieth floor.

He was already eager to test just how abnormal his new divine-grade profession truly was.

Clang—!

As the elevator doors to the sixtieth floor slowly opened, a sulfurous scent, even more intense and scorching than on the fiftieth floor, assailed them.

Outside was a circular lava gladiatorial arena, surrounded by towering obsidian spectator stands, which were empty, with only rows of cold stone seats.

And in the center of the arena, in the lake of churning, hot magma, stood two towering minotaurs, over fifteen meters tall, their entire bodies burning with dark red demonic flames.

One wielded a gigantic axe wreathed in lightning, the other a heavy shield engulfed in flames. Their crimson eyes were fixed on Su Mo and Xiao Wu at the elevator entrance.

Thunder Minotaur (LV20 · Lord)

Flame Bull Demon (LV20 · Lord)

Two Lord-grade BOSSes, and twin BOSSes with completely opposite attributes!

Behind them, in the center of the lava lake, a giant treasure chest glowing with dark gold light floated.

"Su Mo, should I handle this one?" Xiao Wu looked at the two imposing minotaurs, a little eager to try.

She had promised Su Mo to be a "vase," but the inherent belligerent factor of a "Charming War God" in her bones still made her a little restless.

"No need." Su Mo smiled and ruffled her head.

"I told you to be a vase, so just be a good vase. This small-scale situation doesn't require your intervention."

With that, he strode out of the elevator alone.

"Roar—!"

The two bull demons seemed to sense the undisguised challenge emanating from Su Mo, and simultaneously let out an earth-shattering roar.

The Thunder Minotaur raised the giant axe in his hand, and boom!

A thick purple lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking fiercely onto his axe blade, sizzle—!

Dazzling electric arcs wildly jumped on the axe blade.

On the other side, the Flame Bull Demon slammed the heavy shield in his hand onto the ground, boom!

A circular, orange-red flame shockwave, centered on him, wildly spread outwards, scorching the hard obsidian on the ground to a fiery red.

One lightning, one fire; one offense, one defense, perfectly coordinated.

"Minotaurs playing with fire and lightning? Interesting."

Su Mo looked at the two bull demons who immediately unleashed their "ultimate moves," feeling quite excited, wanting to use such high-level BOSSes to test his true strength after his class change.

Just like that, he rushed forward, bare-handed, towards the two mountain-like bull demons.

"Moo! Moo!"

The Thunder Minotaur's lightning great axe cleaved down towards Su Mo's head, its speed like a flash of lightning.

However, facing this powerful and heavy strike, which also carried a paralyzing effect, Su Mo neither dodged nor retreated.

He raised his right hand, and then similarly threw a punch.

There were no flashy skills, no violent energy fluctuations, only the purest physical strength and the invisible black aura wrapped around his fist—Armament Haki - Flowing Sakura!

Boom—!!!

Su Mo's seemingly not-so-strong body merely swayed slightly in place, then steadily took the Thunder Minotaur's earth-shattering punch.

"Moo?!"

A hint of human-like shock flashed in the Thunder Minotaur's crimson eyes. He felt as if his axe had struck an indestructible, ten-thousand-year-old profound iron.

A terrifying counter-shock force rolled back up the axe handle, making his arm, which was thicker than Su Mo's waist, tingle.

And the violent lightning power wrapped around the axe blade, upon contact with the invisible black aura on Su Mo's fist, vanished without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea.

"With so little strength, you're not a good bull!"

Su Mo mocked lightly, "You're not even fit to scratch my itch."

"Roar!" The Thunder Minotaur's giant axe once again erupted with dazzling lightning.

"Skill: Thunderous Might!"

In an instant, his great axe transformed into a sky full of axe shadows, pouring down on Su Mo like a torrential storm.

At the same time, the Flame Bull Demon on the other side was not idle; he violently thrust the flaming heavy shield in his hand upwards.

"Skill: Flame Bulwark!"

A giant energy shield composed of pure flames instantly enveloped Su Mo, sealing off all his escape routes.

"Trying to trap a dog in a closed door?"

Su Mo looked at the Flame Bulwark that had him trapped in place and smiled indifferently, "Today, I'll show you what true despair is!"

He no longer passively defended, but instead actively attacked, meeting the overwhelming torrent of axe shadows head-on, like a raging storm.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of dull thuds echoed wildly within the Flame Bulwark.

Every one of Su Mo's punches accurately struck the Thunder Minotaur's axe blade; his body endured the intense pain of being struck by the great axe again and again.

The Undying Battle Spirit's passive ability began to trigger wildly; his HP rapidly dropped, then rapidly recovered, and all his attributes also increased at an extremely fast rate.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Thunder Minotaur's face grew more ferocious with each strike. What kind of monster was this human in front of him?

Why was he harder than a damn alloy steel plate?

Why did he get stronger the more he was hit?

"Didn't you eat? Hit harder!" Su Mo's teasing voice rang out again.

He felt great now, absolutely great.

This feeling of standing toe-to-toe with a BOSS and making the BOSS doubt his existence was simply too exhilarating!

"Roar—" The Thunder Minotaur went berserk, gathering all the lightning power in his body onto his great axe, then violently cleaved down towards Su Mo's head.

The raging lightning on the axe blade even condensed into a ferocious minotaur phantom.

However, facing this immensely powerful strike, Su Mo merely sneered.

He raised his left hand, and then similarly threw a punch.

Boom—!!!

A deafening roar, powerful enough to shatter the entire Flame Bulwark, suddenly erupted.

This time, the Thunder Minotaur gained no advantage whatsoever. His great axe, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, was forcibly blasted away by an irresistible, terrifying force the moment it contacted Su Mo's fist.

And Su Mo's fist, after blasting away the great axe, maintained its momentum, heavily slamming into the Thunder Minotaur's thick, armor-like chest.

Crack! A crisp sound of bone shattering echoed throughout the entire arena.

The Thunder Minotaur looked down at his deeply caved-in chest, then with a "thud," his massive body collapsed to the ground, its life extinguished.

"Ding! You have slain the Thunder Minotaur (LV20 · Lord)! You have gained..."

A Lord-grade BOSS was thus beaten to death by Su Mo.
