Jumping up and cursing was not Ye Zhongming's character, but right now he wanted nothing more than to slice the Thunderous Mechanic in half.
He finally realized a word that had been overlooked—vulnerability level.
Yes, the Thunderous Mechanic was surprisingly powerful; its ability to unleash highly potent beams with a Grade 1 Magic Crystal made Ye Zhongming think he had struck gold… In fact, it truly was a treasure.
However, the power of anything comes at a price, and the Thunderous Mechanic was no exception.
While it possessed a high cost-performance ratio, it was also limited by its usage time.
Ye Zhongming had no time to delve into the specifics of this limitation, as the level 3 mutated creatures were charging at them once again. Perhaps they felt extreme threat from the earlier attack of the Thunderous Mechanic; these mutated lifeforms had gone mad, unleashing various talent skills.
In an instant, the team was left battered and bruised.
A beam of light enveloped Shengyuan, providing some relief to the big guy who had been stabbed in the left rib by the naga, stabilizing the turbulent blood energy within him.
A semi-transparent shield appeared beside Shengyuan's left face, blocking the bloodstained zombie's ethereal green claws that should have pierced into a human head.
In just a short while, Park Soo-young had already used the sweet dew technique eight times, conjuring up four void crystal shields.
This teacher was the only one in the team besides Ye Zhongming who had consumed bug powder.
The profession of apostle of light provided tremendous boosts to the team's strength. Countless times, if it weren't for Teacher Park's void crystal shields, the team would have suffered casualties. Now, thanks to Ye Zhongming's efforts, they were surviving well, but Park Soo-young's contributions were certainly second.
Moreover, the sweet dew technique not only healed everyone's injuries but also provided the team with powerful sustainability. Without this professional skill, Ye Zhongming would not have been able to achieve the current success. Evolvers could also get hurt, and once injured, they needed to recover. Thanks to Teacher Park's sweet dew technique, the time lost due to injuries was almost negligible.
Ye Zhongming was well aware that in the future, he and the team would need this teacher to play an even greater role.
Thus, he shared half of the bug powder with Park Soo-young.
Having consumed this good thing, Teacher Park's mental strength surged, and combined with the fact that the apostle of light's professional skills consumed less mental power, she could now use the sweet dew technique and void crystal shields far more frequently.
So even though the battle was fierce and Park Soo-young had used many skills, her mental strength was still quite ample, and she dared not use too much, as Ye Zhongming had informed her beforehand to reserve a lot of mental power for backup.
As for what Ye Zhongming was planning, Park Soo-young did not know; she only understood that listening to this former student was enough. So far, he had never let them down.
These level 3 beings were quite intelligent; they could tell who posed the greatest threat to them. The naga and the bloodstained zombie constantly pressured Ye Zhongming, while the Flame Lion abandoned its attack on Shengyuan, allowing Dark Twilight to take its place and attack the other members of the team.
In three directions, the mutated lifeforms regained the upper hand.
"Hey, think of a way; this isn't working."
Xia Lei and Mo Ye could only cooperate slightly to fend off the Flame Lion. The flames engulfing the massive lion and its occasional fiery breath made it difficult for everyone to strike back, and they felt at a loss. The inherent power gap with the level 3 creatures made the battle exceedingly dangerous under such constraints.
Perhaps the next careless moment would lead to being caught by the level 3 mutated lifeforms.
Ye Zhongming's eyes turned bloodshot, and his heart was in turmoil.
Should he really resort to the final card?
