"Oh? That one must be one of the 'Three Nobles,' right?"

Xue Jing poked his head out from behind a large charred boulder, gazing down at the expanse of scorched earth below the hillside.

A Dragon Breed around twenty meters long, wingless, with a vivid red crest on its head, was lying on the ground, in a deep slumber. Its breathing was steady, each inhale and exhale extremely drawn out. With each breath, fine golden lightning sprayed from its nostrils, accompanied by the faint sound of thunder.

Its body was covered in a layer of rough dragon scales that looked like wrinkled tree bark, giving a strange sense that a tree had transformed into a huge dragon.

The dragon was slender at both ends of its form, but the abdomen was considerably swollen, even to the point of being bloated, presenting an overall impression of extreme obesity.

"Guardian Dragons spawned asexually by Pureblood Dragon Species usually inherit their bloodline attributes directly, with few mutations."

"Judging by the appearance of this Guardian Dragon, it should be from the 'Life System'... so the Pureblood Dragon Species is likely also of the Life System."

"That's trouble, this is bad news."

The Mirror Person in the black bracelet took a look at the Dragon Breed down the slope and spoke with a frown.

"How so? Are the Life System's combat abilities very strong?" Xue Jing raised an eyebrow and asked.

The Mirror Person shook his head, "Not strong, but troublesome."

"The Life System encompasses many attributes: reproduction, contagion, corruption, resurrection... nearly each one has quite bothersome characteristics."

"Dragons of the Life System generally possess extremely strong Life Force and regenerative abilities. Simply put, they have thick health bars and their health regenerates very quickly."

"Those that look like plants, such as this one, are definitely the type with extremely strong Life Force. In the eyes of seasoned Hunters from the Intersecting Boundaries, it's like having 'invincible' written plainly on their faces."

The Mirror Person's young face was filled with solemnity.

"Strong Life Force also means a very high margin for error. Methods like slowly grinding it down are completely unworkable."

"To kill it, you either need special tactics that target its Life Force, or you have to overpower it with absolute strength. There are no other shortcuts."

"And unfortunately, we are far from having the strength to overpower a Pureblood Dragon Species, in fact, we're on the receiving end of being overpowered."

Xue Jing stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Sounds like a desperate situation."

No wonder the Flame Wailing Dragon he had killed earlier had such an abnormally strong Life Force... it had inherited some of the Life System attributes from that Pureblood Dragon Species.

If the Flame Wailing Dragon was that troublesome to kill, how much more absurd would these directly descended Guardian Dragons be?

Mirror Person: "It's not just sounding desperate, it is truly desperate."

Xue Jing touched the Serpent Slayer Spearhead claws he kept close to his body.

If it weren't for this thing, he would have to give up now... find somewhere to hide and work hard to gain the strength to defeat a Pureblood Dragon Species.

But then who knows how many years it would take... He had already found out that regular skills have a cap. After reaching Lv10, they can't improve without evolving.

If he couldn't meet the conditions for evolution inside the Intersecting Boundaries, then no matter how long he grinded, his skills would no longer improve.

In this case, the only way to increase his strength would be through practicing Old Martial Arts... which truly spelled desperation. With the slow pace of Old Martial Arts training, who knew how long it would take to be strong enough to defeat a Pureblood Dragon Species.

"Fortunately, Teacher Wan gave me this thing before entering the Intersecting Boundaries..." Xue Jing couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

Now, it was time to see just how effective the Serpent Slayer Spearhead was against Dragon Breeds.

Xue Jing's gaze fell on the 'Tree Dragon' below.

He intended to test it out on this Tree Dragon...

"What do you plan to do? Go straight in?" The Mirror Person crossed his arms and asked.

"I've said it before, if you don't have the absolute power to kill a Life System Dragon in one shot, you'll get dragged into an endless war of attrition until you're worn down..."

"If you haven't thought of a strategy yet, it's best not to act rashly."

Xue Jing stood up, "Of course there's a strategy."

"First of all..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth, the ground beneath him exploded, and he shot towards the slumbering Tree Dragon like a cannonball.

"—Let's give it a greeting gift."

Approaching noon, the sunlight was scorching within the Intersecting Boundaries.

Inside the valley, there were countless rock faces, casting large shadows in the sunlight.

Black, intense energy streams were drawn out from the shadows, swirling towards Xue Jing in the air.

Dark Flame ignited, and from it emerged a colossal black skeleton, followed by muscles, flesh, and armor...

The nearly twenty-meter-tall complete Shadowflame Armor Giant, like a Giant God wielding Dark Flame, reappeared before the world.

In the hands of the giant, a massive blade condensed, with its tip pointing downward.

The twenty-meter figure, like a mountain peak, crashed down with the force of a collapsing mountain toward the slumbering Tree Dragon below.

"Hss—!!!"

A loud hissing sound of a blade piercing flesh, and the massive dark blade struck precisely at the neck of the Tree Dragon, penetrating it completely!

The vast blade sank into the neck, piercing through and planting itself into the ground, nailing the Tree Dragon to the spot, with the Shadowflame Giant seated on top of it.

"ROAR—!!!"

The Tree Dragon, awoken by the agonizing pain, immediately realized what was happening and let out an earthshaking dragon roar.
