...

"Hiss..."

After seeing the terrifying attributes of the Abyssal Giant Wolf, Lu Chen was truly shocked.

Moreover, this BOSS possessed a Legendary-grade talent, and its talent effect was truly worthy of the Legendary Rank—extremely formidable!

Its two skills, one offensive and one defensive, were flawless!

"I can only equip the LV30 Legendary equipment first. After dealing with this BOSS, I'll swap it back out. It shouldn't affect the final trial!"

Taking advantage of the time before the challenge started, Lu Chen made a prompt decision and quickly equipped his level 30 Legendary gear.

Otherwise, Lu Chen wouldn't have absolute certainty of defeating his opponent.

In an instant!

Lu Chen's attributes underwent a massive change:

[Name: Lu Chen]

[Class: F-Rank Beast Tamer]

[Talent: Infinite Evolution (Unique Mythical)]

[Rank: First Order LV30]

[HP: 31650]

[Mana: 31650]

[Attack: 20295]

[Defense: 9495 Physical Defense / 9495 Magic Defense]

[Strength: 3 (Initial) + 1050 (Equipment) + 300 (Free Attributes)]

[Physique: 5 (Initial) + 1050 (Equipment)]

[Soul: 5 (Initial) + 1050 (Equipment)]

[Agility: 4 (Initial) + 630 (Equipment)]

[Free Attributes: 0] (First Order +10 per level)

[Unique Skill: Beast Taming (LV0)]

[Beast Pen: 1010 / Infinite]

[Equipment (10 / 10): Dragon Spine Whip (Legendary Quality), Spirit Wind Embrace (Legendary Quality)... Fate Pendant (Legendary Quality), Void Realm Badge (Legendary)]

...

Although his attributes were still completely inferior to the Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS, his attack power had broken through 20,000!

The Ice Horn Ant's piercing damage is 1% of fixed attack power, which meant he could now deal at least over 200 damage to the BOSS.

If one thousand Ice Horn Ants bit down together, they could deal at least 200,000 damage in total, enough to instant-kill the Abyssal Giant Wolf, which only had 165,000 HP!

However, Lu Chen also understood that while his Beast Pets could instant-kill the opponent, the opponent could also instant-kill his Beast Pets. Therefore, he couldn't fight it head-on; he had to catch it off guard and attack when it was unprepared!

Before long.

Lu Chen had a preliminary battle plan in mind.

"Abyssal Giant Wolf? Domain Lord-level BOSS? Is that it? In my eyes, you're just a little milk wolf that hasn't been weaned yet!"

Lu Chen spoke directly to mock it, attempting to provoke the opponent.

[Little brat, do you know that your provocation is very clumsy?!]

Although the Abyssal Giant Wolf could not speak human language yet, under the influence of the rules, it could understand Lu Chen's words, and it could communicate with Lu Chen by popping up a dialogue box above its head.

"..."

Damn!

So composed?

It seems this Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS is also a veteran BOSS; it's not easy to deal with!

And he was even looked down upon by it.

Lu Chen furrowed his brows slightly; this wasn't going to be easy.

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS's Abyssal Form could turn basic attacks into area attacks. A single auto-attack would likely instant-kill a large number of Ice Horn Ants.

Not to mention its attack skills, which would definitely have even greater destructive power and range. It's hard to say—if they went head-to-head, his Beast Pets might be wiped out first!

"Are all Domain Lord-level BOSSes this perverted?"

Lu Chen understood that it wasn't that Domain Lord-level BOSSes were perverted, but rather the Abyssal Power buff was too strong, causing this Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS's attributes to exceed the limit.

A ten-star difficulty advancement quest BOSS definitely beats other BOSSes of the same Rank!

"Forget it! Let's try it first and see if I can force out its talent active effect and attack skills!"

Since the plan to provoke the opponent was ineffective, Lu Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and go first.

[Ding, the challenge begins!]

As soon as the rule prompt ended, Lu Chen rushed toward the Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS alone, without summoning his Beast Pets!

[A Beast Tamer fighting without Beast Pets? Do you intend to fight me with just auto-attacks? What an overly arrogant little brat!]

[Heh! The last class-changer who dared to be this arrogant is currently embedded in my throne, wailing in their Soul!]

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS exhaled heavily, then launched its attack.

But it didn't use any skills. Instead, it utilized its extremely high speed and reaction time to easily dodge Lu Chen's auto-attack, then swiped a claw at the unsuspecting Lu Chen.

Bang!

With its terrifying attack power, it directly swatted Lu Chen away, instant-killing him!

[...]

[Just died like that?]

[How boring! I thought it would be a rare, satisfying battle. Little brat, you've disappointed Lord Wolf!]

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS yawned, waiting for the rules to announce the end of the challenge.

At this moment.

Lu Chen entered a strange state. He existed in the form of a Soul, and the environment he saw turned gray and white.

[Ding, the resurrection ring effect has been triggered. You can choose to resurrect on the spot or choose a random resurrection. After resurrection, the resurrection ring enters a 3-second cooldown.]

[Reminder: If no choice is made after 10 minutes, a random resurrection will be forced.]

Lu Chen did not choose to resurrect immediately.

Instead, he took this opportunity to think about how to kill the BOSS without paying too high a price!

But after thinking back and forth, other than having his Beast Pets fight head-on, there didn't seem to be a better way to win. This Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS was too steady.

Suddenly!

Lu Chen had a flash of inspiration!

Wait!

The Beast Taming skill effect is to tame any beast. This Abyssal Giant Wolf belongs to the beast-type Invading Monster category—could he also tame this Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS?

If it doesn't work, then he'll just have to let the Ice Horn Ant swarm fight it head-on!

At this time,

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS felt something was wrong: [Strange?! Why is there no rule prompt yet?]

Suddenly!

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS looked as if it had seen a ghost; the little brat it had just killed was standing there completely unharmed.

[How is he still alive? What did he do?]

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS was very clear that its previous attack definitely instant-killed the opponent, so why was the opponent still alive?

[How are you not dead?]

"Because I can't die, doesn't that make you mad?!"

[...]

After speaking, Lu Chen quickly purchased two exclusive Legendary items, [Beast Taming Whip] and [Contract Scroll], and cast the [Beast Taming] skill on the Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS.

[Do you think you can tame me with just these two Legendary items? Little brat, don't you know that beast-type Invading Monsters can be immune to most taming effects?]

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS struggled fiercely, resisting the Beast Taming power bolstered by the two Legendary items.

Seeing that the opponent seemed to be entangled by the taming power and was temporarily unable to launch any attacks, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

"Great opportunity!"

Lu Chen immediately summoned all his Ice Horn Ant Beast Pets and commanded them to attack with full force.

[What? Thousands of Beast Pets? Little brat, you!!!]

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS was shocked again.

It hadn't expected the Human Race little brat before it to be able to break the rules and contract so many Beast Pets, all of which were Ice Horn Ants.

With the opponent's attack attributes, plus the piercing characteristics and quantity of the Ice Horn Ants, they could instant-kill it!

But it was currently enveloped by the taming effect and couldn't release any skills.

But as an Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS, how could it just be toyed to death by the opponent like this?

[Little brat, if you want to kill me, you'll have to pay a price too!]

[Abyssal Form — Activate!]

It couldn't release skills, but it could still release its talent's active effect.

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS's body size increased by 50%, becoming even more ferocious. Gray-black Abyssal flames radiated from its body, capable of dealing Soul Burning damage to surrounding targets.

It wanted to use the passive of its talent's active effect to perish together with all of Lu Chen's Beast Pets!

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

Thousands of Ice Horn Ants, fearless of death, crawled onto the Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS and bit down.

In an instant.

The Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS's HP bar was emptied.

The Ice Horn Ants still had a sliver of HP left, having managed to survive under the Soul Burning effect.

But before Lu Chen could breathe a sigh of relief.

The fallen Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS's corpse suddenly erupted with a powerful shockwave of Abyssal Power.

"Not good! The Abyssal Power has been detonated!"

Lu Chen's expression changed drastically.

He hadn't expected that the opponent could still trigger this effect after death, and the crucial point was that the resurrection ring effect was still on cooldown.

"It's over now!!!"
