The beast, seeing its attack fail, leaped backward and started running circles around her. Min Li’s eyes narrowed as she struggled to keep track of its speed, quickly becoming flustered. In her distraction, she failed to sense the beast charging from the left side

"Ugh!" she grunted, barely managing to raise her sword in time. Luckily, the beast headbutted her instead of using its claws or fangs — otherwise, her arm would have been torn apart.

’Fuck, I really need to hone my combat awareness,’ Min Li thought bitterly. She had mainly focused on cultivation all this time and had neglected combat training

Wang Ming, watching the fight from the side, sighed. He spotted dozens of openings that any experienced fighter could have used to inflict a fatal injury. She was lucky to be facing a beast that relied mostly on instinct — against a more intelligent opponent, she would have already been dead.

"Fuck!" Min Li cursed as she saw the large beast leaping toward her, its mouth wide open with fangs aimed at her neck. She quickly rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the beast as it crashed into a nearby tree.

"Ugh..." she grunted, clutching her shoulder as sharp pain flared. Looking down, she saw a chunk of flesh scraped off — the beast’s fangs had grazed her. Even if this was just a virtual body and her real body remained unharmed, the pain felt 100% real.

"Damn, looks like I need to use my bloodline power," Min Li muttered grimly, dissatisfied that she had to resort to her bloodline powers against such a weak beast. If it was necessary it still stung her pride.

Rumble... Rumble...

Her eyes flashed purple, and the sky darkened as she activated her bloodline.

"Lightning Spirit Form – Lightning Wings!"

Lightning wings and horns immediately manifested on her body.

’I need to finish this fast — the drain on my spiritual reserves is too much due to my weak cultivation,’ Min Li thought, narrowing her eyes at the beast. The next moment, she charged toward it, leaving a trail of lightning in her wake.

Sensing the change in Min Li’s aura which was fare more dangerous than before, the beast’s killing intent intensified. Recognizing the heightened danger, it hurriedly activated its technique, covering itself in a layer of metal that boosted its defense.

Bang!

Min Li charged forward, her fist crackling with lightning as it collided with the beast’s body, which was covered by a metallic layer.

’Only a dent?’ Min Li’s eyebrows furrowed. She hadn’t expected the beast’s defense to be this strong, and her attack had only caused minor damage.

Roar!

The beast lunged at Min Li, taking advantage of her close proximity. She noticed the attack just in time and dodged swiftly, her enhanced speed allowing her to evade the strike and counter with another blow to the beast’s body.

Bang! Bang!

Due to Min Li’s incredible speed, the onlookers couldn’t see her clearly. Instead, they only saw flashes of blue lightning moving around the beast, striking it repeatedly and slowly chipping away at its vitality.

"Looks like that woman hasn’t paid enough attention to her combat awareness," commented someone in the crowd who was more experienced in battle. Like Wang Ming, they could see that she left herself open far too often.

"Honestly, even if she’s not a top-tier genius, she’s still above average compared to many cultivators I’ve seen. Did you notice how she dodged those fatal blows? An average cultivator without a powerful cultivation base or technique would’ve died by now, but she managed without either," another person in the crowd said with mild praise. Even though Min Li’s combat awareness was lacking, she was still a member of a top family, making her superior to most average cultivators.

"Hmm, that lightning… could it be a bloodline technique?" one of the onlookers asked, watching Min Li’s lightning attacks with great interest.

"Are we still going to rob them?" another person asked hesitantly. Bloodline users were rare and typically belonged to powerful families. Provoking them, even in a virtual world, could lead to real-world consequences.

"Of course we are," another replied confidently. "It’s not like we’re harming them in real life. We’ve targeted powerful family members before, and they ignored us. As long as we don’t mess with them outside the game, we don’t have to worry."

"You’re right. Besides, both of them are getting slower. Judging by that they are noobs, they probably don’t have any healing items with them," another person added.

’More people have arrived,’ Wang Ming muttered as he noticed that the number of players with deep red-colored auras had increased to over a hundred.

"Huff... Huff... Damn," Min Li panted, her generous chest rising and falling as she looked at the dead beast. Her body was covered in various injuries, causing her to grimace in pain. Soon, the lightning around her body vanished as her spiritual reserves were completely drained.

’I didn’t expect to be injured this much by a weak beast,’ Min Li cursed in her head. If not for her high speed and powerful attacks, she wouldn’t have been able to defeat it due to its immense defense. If someone looked closely, they would notice that only the beast’s neck area was damaged. Midway through the fight, she had realized she needed to focus on a single weak point—otherwise, she would have run out of spiritual energy before finishing it off.

After catching her breath, Min Li was about to collect the beast’s core when she suddenly sensed a presence behind her. She turned around, her pupils contracting to the size of a needle.

"Oh shit," she cursed, realizing she had let her guard down. Another beast was charging straight at her, and she had no spiritual energy left to defend herself.

Clang!

"Sigh… Don’t let your guard down when you’re out in the wild like this," Wang Ming said as he appeared in front of the charging beast, blocking its attack effortlessly.

"Thanks," Min Li said, cold sweat dripping down her back as she realized just how close she had been to failing the mission to collect points.
