The sword light gradually dissipated, and in the next second, a flash of light from the teleportation appeared.
Walter sat in his original position, pale-faced, unable to shake off the lingering fear as he looked at Qin Tian, who sighed slightly below him. The fear in his eyes grew stronger!
Just now, he had come very close, just an inch away from being cut down by the sword light. If it weren't for Walter barely managing to unleash a water ray at the last moment, piercing Qin Tian's forehead while he was momentarily out of defense due to his attack, he would have been the one to lose.
Recalling the terrifying feeling of the massive sword light being so close, it was the first time Walter doubted his own strength...
It seemed that he could be defeated, he could be killed...
This brief thought flickered through Walter’s mind as he looked up at the relaxed and composed Tang Haofei and the meditating Wen Yu, quickly adjusting his breathing.
Since his strength was insufficient, he had to desperately improve it, and there was no better way to enhance his strength than the rewards given by this sequence ranking!
...
Minutes flew by quickly, and Walter organized his state—mainly his psychological state. It was apparent that having lived on an island for so long and gaining immense power at the beginning of the apocalypse had not made his mental resilience very strong.
Then, Walter greeted Wen Yu, signaling that he was about to challenge him.
Wen Yu smiled and nodded back at Walter, and one had to say that Walter's sincere personality easily won the favor of others.
With a flash of white light, Wen Yu and Walter were directly teleported to the challenge space.
...
Walter felt somewhat constrained in front of him.
In fact, it was the first time Walter doubted his own strength—he had truly sensed a feeling of danger from Qin Tian, and the facts proved that Qin Tian definitely possessed the strength to defeat him. So, what about Wen Yu, who was even more formidable?
Just as Walter contemplated this, Wen Yu had already summoned Faceless, swiftly entering combat mode.
Second soul realm enhancement—Fury of the Inferno (ss level, active ability).
Third soul realm enhancement—Dragon Blood Amplification (sss rank, active ability).
Fifth soul realm enhancement—Netherworld (race foundation level, passive skill).
After that, Wen Yu dripped a drop of his own blood onto Faceless.
Faceless quickly underwent a transformation, having turned into Wen Yu's appearance in a short time.
...
In this one-on-one battle mode, especially against an opponent with super terrifying individual combat power, releasing a spirit pet to fight was absolutely an unwise choice—Qin Min had just faced the initial stage of a fifth-level unicorn divine beast species head-on, let alone Walter before him.
Therefore, in this combat mode, using combat status and letting his spirit pet enhance his skills was definitely the best choice.
Faceless, under such circumstances, became Wen Yu's strongest ally. One must admit that most of the time, skills were indeed much more important than physical qualities.
However, when Wen Yu briefly scanned Faceless' skills, he discovered something very embarrassing...
Faceless had not completely copied Netherworld (race foundation level, passive skill).
The perfect replication by Faceless belonged to the sss rank skills, while Netherworld belonged to the race foundation level skills, which had the suppression of skill levels. The Netherworld that Faceless copied suddenly seemed inadequate.
Netherworld (race foundation level, passive skill, incomplete): Between life and death, there exists such a world, not entering mortal dust, not falling into hell! Once the skill is generated, it will automatically create a Nether realm with a diameter of 1000 meters around the host. Within this realm, the host can easily alter the rules, including but not limited to space, time, speed, gravity, and more...
The ability of Netherworld was directly cut in half, and even the transformation function of nether warriors disappeared. After familiarizing himself with this truncated version of Netherworld, Wen Yu discovered that even the aspect of altering the rules within the realm was significantly weaker than the original.
