40: Elite BOSS plus formation?

Chu Yixing closed his attribute panel and continued to look into the box, which still contained a book and a bottle of pills. Xu Haoyu put the book and pills into his inventory.

Purple Haze Skill: Passive skill, increases lifespan. At level 10, one can cultivate the Body-Protecting Divine Light.

experience pill (10 pills): Each pill increases experience by 30,000. Only one pill can be used per day.

Learning passive skill books requires skill points, which are obtained one point per level after reaching level 25.

Chu Yixing put the [Purple Haze Skill] into his backpack, then took out one [experience pill] and consumed it, putting the rest into his backpack.

Chu Yixing observed the surrounding environment and decided to rest here for a while before exploring further.

Outside the random Instance, the faces of several people responsible for managing this Instance were rather grim.

In just half a day, more than half of the Transferees who entered the Instance had died and been teleported out.

The remaining number of people in the random Instance was no more than 40.

And Xu Yu, the Transferee who had a brief encounter with Chu Yixing, was being held by the leaders of several major academies.

As soon as Xu Yu exited the Instance, he spread rumors that Chu Yixing had refused to help those in need. He was then restrained, waiting for Chu Yixing to emerge for a confrontation. Xu Yu's face was somewhat pale.

Chu Yixing was unaware of what was happening outside the random Instance; he was still resting and recovering.

An hour later, Chu Yixing adjusted his state and began to look for an exit from this platform.

Chu Yixing walked around but found no exit other than the stairs he had used to arrive. The most prominent feature of the entire platform was the high platform in the center.

Chu Yixing walked to the central high platform, thought for a moment, gripped the long sword in his hand, and with his other hand, moved aside the treasure chest.

The moment the box was moved, the entire platform began to tremble. Chu Yixing vigilantly looked around.

He saw that opposite the stone steps he had come from, stone steps slowly unfolded one by one, forming a floating stone bridge that gradually extended into the distance, leading to an unknown place.

Chu Yixing stood before the floating stone bridge, took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and looked at the bridge before him.

The stone bridge floated in the deep darkness, its edges inlaid with dim runes that occasionally flickered with faint light. Below the passage was an endless abyss, and in the darkness, countless eyes seemed to be peering at him, sending shivers down his spine.

Chu Yixing tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand. The sword body glowed faintly, and energy subtly flowed along its edge, ready to respond to any sudden danger.

Because he knew that this stone bridge was no ordinary object; the seemingly dim runes and floating mechanisms on the bridge all emanated powerful energy fluctuations. A slight misstep would lead to falling into the abyss, never to return.

Chu Yixing lifted his foot and gently stepped onto the first stone slab. The slab sank slightly, emitting a soft sound, and the runes lit up, their light spreading along the bridge surface, illuminating the path ahead.

Chu Yixing felt a faint suction from the stone slab beneath his feet, as if it were testing his strength and limits.

“As expected, it’s not simple,” Chu Yixing thought to himself. He held his breath, concentrated, and channeled his energy into his feet, executing the Basic Movement Technique to counteract the slab's suction.

The bridge surface was not wide, barely allowing one person to pass, with no railings on either side, only endless darkness and occasionally flickering runes.

As Chu Yixing walked forward step by step, the runes on the bridge began to light up in succession, their light gradually intensifying, as if testing his limits.

Chu Yixing felt an invisible pressure surging from all directions, as if trying to push him off the bridge. He gritted his teeth, the long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and the energy fluctuations on the sword's edge became increasingly solid.

Suddenly, the bridge surface shook violently, and Chu Yixing's foot slipped, almost causing him to lose his balance.

He swiftly swung his sword, its edge cutting through the air, unleashing a cyan sword qi that sliced through the invisible pressure.

At the same time, he utilized his Basic Movement Technique to its fullest, his feet firmly planted on the bridge surface, managing to stabilize himself.

The runes on the stone bridge glowed brightly, as if enraged, and more pressure assailed him from all directions.

Chu Yixing knew he could no longer hesitate and had to cross this bridge as quickly as possible. He quickened his pace, his long sword constantly swinging, sword qi crisscrossing, shattering the incoming pressure one by one.

Each step was like walking on a knife's edge. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Chu Yixing's forehead, and his energy value was rapidly depleting. But he dared not stop, only gritting his teeth and persisting.

Suddenly, the stone slabs beneath his feet began to shake violently, and the slabs behind him started to crack and crumble one by one, their fragments falling into the abyss and disappearing.

Chu Yixing's heart tightened. He pushed his Basic Movement Technique to its limit, his footsteps becoming even lighter. He dared not pause for a moment, each step landing precisely on the intact stone slabs ahead.

“Ten more steps…” He counted silently, fine beads of sweat already slowly dripping down both sides of his forehead.

Just as Chu Yixing was about to step onto the last stone slab, a low roar suddenly came from the darkness beneath the bridge, and a huge black shadow burst out from the abyss, rushing straight towards him.

It was a demonic beast resembling a giant python, its entire body covered in jet-black scales, its eyes blood-red, and a foul stench spewing from its mouth.

【Guardian Python】(Elite BOSS)

【Level: 23】

【HP: 14000 / 14000】

【Physical Attack: 1400 / Magical Attack: 1400】

【Physical Defense: 1200 / Magical Defense: 1200】

【Description: Enormous in size.】

Chu Yixing's eyes turned cold, and he abruptly swung the green lotus sword in his hand. The sword qi, like a rainbow, struck directly at the python's head.

The python let out a sharp hiss, its massive body twisting in the air, attempting to evade the sword qi.

However, Chu Yixing's sword qi was incredibly fast, slashing across the python's neck with lightning speed, drawing a spray of blood.

The python roared in fury, its thick tail sweeping towards Chu Yixing. Chu Yixing directly ascended into the air with his sword, avoiding the python's tail. Simultaneously, two more sword qi strikes were launched at the python.

The python's body crashed heavily onto the stone bridge surface, sending shattered stones flying.

Just as Chu Yixing was about to press his advantage, the runes on the stone bridge suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, and an overwhelming pressure forced him from the air back onto the stone bridge.

Chu Yixing struggled to stabilize himself. The moment he landed on the slab, the pressure suddenly vanished. Chu Yixing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he hadn't chosen to cross the stone bridge by flying at the beginning.

The python gave Chu Yixing no time to rest. As he was pushed back onto the bridge, it opened its massive mouth and bit down.

Chu Yixing swept his sword horizontally, and a burst of sword qi exploded inside the python's mouth. Blood instantly gushed from the python's mouth, but it still bit down on Chu Yixing's arm.

Chu Yixing's eyes hardened. While the python was biting his arm, he directly plunged his sword into the python's eye and then dragged it horizontally.
