Bald Monk in the City - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: 17 Times Regeneration Rate

…

…

Yi Qiu’s pupils constricted, and the aura of death was so thick, the Ki layer on his skin became exceptionally sensitive…

Reflex Dodge!

Yi Qiu’s legs shook, in that moment, he avoided the suppressing attack of the black shadow.

“Peng!”

Shrapnel flew everywhere, causing pelting sounds on the surrounding buildings. A black shadow could be seen through the thick dust.

Yi Qiu was too close and was hit by some pieces of stone.

But because the Ki layer protected him, Yi Qiu didn’t suffer any damage.

Yi Qiu stared at the black shadow in the dust. After some of it disappeared, a Giant Spider appeared in front of his eyes:

It was roughly 3 meters tall, like an enlarged version of the Chinese Wolf Spider but its limbs were much thicker and wider. The claws on its limbs were as sharp as blades, giving off a metallic glow. The grey and white pieces of shell had thick hair growing out of them.]

Its eight eyes were like black jewels, one was unable to observe any emotions. It wasn’t vicious nor gentle, giving off an ice-like aura, it was so emotionless that it made one feel completely terrified.

The Giant Spider hurried out and appeared in front of him, but the situation gave him a bad feeling.

The Giant Spider stared quietly at Yi Qiu and didn’t do anything. It was as if that strike just now was just an illusion.

But the dust flying about and smacking his face awakened him and he recognized that this was not an illusion.

He was about to face his strongest enemy to date.

The Cyborg Cowhead Monster King was definitely bigger than this Giant Spider, but it wasn’t a real enemy as Yi Qiu had never fought it head-on.

Yi Qiu squinted his eyes, and he started to gather and activate the Ki in his body.

He didn’t understand why the Giant Spider didn’t do anything after coming out but he had to seize the chance to open Eight Gates, otherwise, he would have no chance of even fighting back.

Eight Gates, Gate of Opening open!

Yi Qiu’s pupils constricted, and the explosive power surged once more. But this time, the power didn’t give him any sense of security.

The Blind Fighting let Yi Qiu see the direction the Giant Spider was heading in. However, Yi Qiu’s human instincts caused him to be terrified.

Compared to the Brown Tooth Boar and the Cowhead Monster, that were the same size, the Giant Spider seemed to be much more threatening and instilled more fear.

Opening Eight Gates meant that he couldn’t drag this battle. Each second consumed large amounts of life value.

“Zeng!”

Yi Qiu took in a deep breath and his legs exploded forward right at the Giant Spider!

“Xiu!”

As Yi Qiu moved, the Giant Spider was like a poisonous snake that came out of its hole, stretching out two spear-like limbs that sliced at Yi Qiu!

Although the natural field of sight meant that Yi Qiu was unable to sense the giant limbs, the Ki layer formed by Reflex Dodge sensed it!

Reflex Dodge!

Yi Qiu suddenly stopped, changing angles right away. The two limbs of the Giant Spider pinned into the ground beside Yi Qiu!

“Peng!”

Stone flew everywhere and dust rose into the air. However, Yi Qiu didn’t stop and continued to charge at the Giant Spider!

Suddenly! An evil wind struck him!

Before he was able to react, he was hit by another leg of the Giant Spider!

“Peng!”

Yi Qiu smashed into one of the pieces of stone!

Although the remnants of the buildings were made of stone, they were old and inside it had been corroded by wind, causing many cracks.

As Yi Qiu smashed into it, the seemingly sturdy stone piece broke into pieces!

*Cough*

Yi Qiu felt like he had been hit by a car; it was like his bones had shifted. Thanks to the armor and Douqi Strike protecting him, his arm wasn’t badly injured.

But because Douqi Strike focused Ki in the arm that he was about to strike with, his leg wasn’t protected and it broke right away.

Yi Qiu struggled up from the rubble, but due to the excruciating pain in his chest and legs, he failed to get up.

He lost feeling in many areas.

“Peng!”

“Peng!”

“Peng!”

…

…

The sound of the Giant Spider attacking crazily spread from far away. Yi Qiu finally saw its strike patterns clearly.

Its four legs held up its body, the crab-like pincers beside it were like large spears poked into the ground.

Then, one of the legs below the spear would strike!

Yi Qiu was swept away by such a strike, the giant momentum far exceeded his strength.

Yi Qiu was unable to discern how much strength the Giant Spider had. This was because if the difference in stat was more than a single point, he definitely couldn’t find against something with a few times more strength.

Unless one had skills to support, it would be tough to stand one’s ground in front of someone with such a difference in stats.

Yi Qiu took out Hell Cowhead Monster’s Magnificence with much difficulty. Truthfully, to do such a thing while wearing the Cyborg Cowhead Monster King’s Brassart was really tough.

“Si!”

Taking out Hell Cowhead Monster’s Magnificence tugged at his injured muscles, causing an intense pain which made him heave in a deep cold breath.

“Hu.”

Yi Qiu gulped it down. It tasted a little weird but quickly a fiery feeling rose up in his body.

“You have consumed Hell Cowhead Monster’s Magnificence, your physique has increased to: 16.”

“Potion time: 9 Minutes, 54 seconds.”

Two green notifications appeared on Yi Qiu’s retina screen, on the status column there was one more Cowhead Monster roaring picture’s buff.

Due to the effects of Totem Power, Yi Qiu’s recovery speed exceeded the speed of someone who had 17 Physique.

Based on the Integrated Network, each increase in stat was 0.5 times that of one stat before. Yi Qiu’s recovery speed was 17 times that of a normal person.

His Life Value that had reached red started to increase. This was because 17 Physique exceeded the upper limit of opening Gate of Opening.

Thus, his health wouldn’t drop. Between the Gate of Life and Gate of Opening, there was a physique upper limit.

When one reached that, one’s life value wouldn’t drop. Of course, the damage to the body still existed.

But because one’s recovery and tolerance increased, such damage wouldn’t cause much of a burden to the person.

The Giant Spider stopped its crazy and pointless attacks, so the ruins suddenly quietened down…
