Chapter 559 The Terrifying Li Xia

Chapter 559 The Terrifying Li Xia
"Danglang"

The tip of the staff bounced weakly twice on the ground, and the repulsion spell was automatically triggered. As a result, in the mage's stiff gaze, his staff spiraled into the sky like a rocket, shooting straight upwards.

But Li Xia's actions did not stop at all because of this change; the gleaming blade left an extremely thin but sharp slash mark in the air.

The area marked by the slash silently cracked open.

Whether it's a magic shield, a mage's instinctive hand blocking in front of them, or even an exceptionally sturdy mithril bracelet on their wrist.

A thin line of blood appeared on his wrist and neck; in the past, such an injury would have been enough to signify the death of a mage.

But now a strange change has occurred. The thin lines of blood that were cut across the neck and wrist are disappearing rapidly, and the area is instantly back to normal.

Li Xia's expression turned slightly serious. This is the incarnation!
But what he didn't expect was that just now, the mage on the other side was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

The arena works the same as normal, with battle prompts as usual.

There are apostles like Li Xia who don't like to look at the prompts, but there are also many apostles who like to stare at the battle prompts.

Furthermore, the distinction between those who dislike reading prompts and those who like reading prompts is extremely high.

Melee-type Apostles don't read the prompts, while ranged and support-type Apostles seem to have their eyes glued to the prompt panel.

This is largely related to the fighting styles of both sides.

Just as the mage was used to, he glanced at the panel and felt like his soul was about to fly away.

Your weapon, the Flame Wand, has been damaged due to suppression by higher-level weapons (arena protection has been triggered; it can be repaired by spending Hall Points).

Your magic shield has been attacked, and the attack ignores your defenses.

【你已受到（200+200*0.7）*2（要害）*9（阶位差）的无视防御伤害，共计6120点伤害】

Take less? ?
The mage felt as if his soul had been chopped off.

Although the Temple of Light does not have a specific life value, the apostles have figured out a rough calculation method after a long period of exploration.

That is, physique attribute * 100 + physical strength * 500, plus the health points added by other equipment or skills.

The mage follows a three-main-one-subject approach: main focus on intelligence, spirit, and dexterity, secondary focus on physical strength.

This is also the common way most mages in the Hall of Fame allocate their stat points. The reason for prioritizing Dexterity over Spirit is that Dexterity also provides a certain boost to spell control and casting speed.

Therefore, the mage's health points are only around 5,000. The pale orange avatar he bought at a high price has a coefficient of 1.3.

In other words, the maximum damage that the avatar can withstand is around 6500 points.

Li Xia's shot almost blew his avatar apart!
"You son of a bitch, monster!"

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the silver light refracted in mid-air, drawing a bright "Z" shape.

He then chopped the mage diagonally from his shoulder down to his hip.

The extremely illusory and blurry figure behind the mage vanished, while the mage stared wide-eyed and, with all his might, tremblingly extended his middle finger towards Li Xia.

One shot shatters the incarnation, another brings death to the brink.

What kind of damage is this?

Those who fry fish deserve to die!!!
The opponent has surrendered; the battle is over.

Congratulations on your victory!

Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!

Ao Wu paced back and forth in the preparation room with a serious expression, while Li Xia sat on the sofa, constantly flipping through something.

They treated their opponents as formidable adversaries.

Li Xia was the same; in the eyes of the hall, he was an opponent of equal strength.

Those whom Li Xia considered formidable enemies were roughly second-tier Dragon Strike Generals, third-tier Star God Incarnations, and Old God Incarnations.

It was based on this consideration that Li Xia cautiously probed the enemy in the early stages of the battle, and even at the end he was only tentatively 'firing' his gun.

He just swung the gun twice, nothing special!

Then, those two ordinary basic attacks killed the opponent!

Until the last few seconds before his opponent surrendered, Li Xia remained on edge, wary that the enemy might have deliberately created an opening, looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

At that moment, he was still marveling to himself that the fourth-tier apostles were indeed extraordinary; their ruthlessness and decisiveness were unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Even selling blood can be done so ruthlessly.
Then there is no more
"I see."

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief and shared what she had just found with a somewhat complicated expression.

Combat power estimation is composed of: comprehensive five dimensions, skill level, equipment rating, etc. (Destiny equipment is not included)

In other words, only the power on paper is calculated, without taking into account the past of the apostles.

Among them, Li Xia's assessed combat strength was a solid figure, which was over 18.

However, the other fourth-order apostles are different.

Just like the mage I just fought, his combat power was composed of: 8 combat power in his main body and 10 combat power in his avatar.

The combat power of the avatar is the combat power of the original body multiplied by the avatar coefficient.
After looking at what Li Xia had shared, Aowu couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief:
"Holy crap, isn't this just the fake combat power you see in mobile games?? The Hall of Fame has even copied this tactic??"

It is indeed a false combat force, since the avatar can only help the main body withstand the attack for a little longer and currently has no other function.

"Is it possible that the avatar is only worth this much in the hall's evaluation, but a fourth-tier avatar can only exert this much effect?"

Li Xia tapped the armrest thoughtfully. He had heard most of the information about the avatars from Madao and the shopkeepers.

Madaro only interacts with fourth-tier apostles, and they are all from small guilds or lone wolves. Those who sell avatars are at the very bottom of the guild, equivalent to salespeople.

They also don't have much access to high-level intelligence.

His only access to high-end information was actually through quasi-agent group chats?
Do you want to ask?

Li Xia hesitated for a moment. He didn't plan to ask questions on the communication platform every time he had a problem. Although he could get some information that way, a thoughtful person could deduce a lot from the questions.

In other words, the more questions you ask, the more you expose. He won't gamble, nor can he gamble, that all the potential agents on the communication platform are good people.

Even the seemingly kind and venerable seniors, Shenguang and Badao.

But after much deliberation, Li Xia decided to ask anyway, since he had already inquired about the avatar before and had already revealed that he had just advanced to the fourth rank.

If the question concerns the transformation itself, it shouldn't be a problem.

[Part Three - Third Order]: Everyone, I have a question. Does the avatar do more than just increase survivability?

The Dragon God, who seemed to be always online, immediately jumped out.

【Dragon God - Eighth Order】: Hmm, the incarnation is very strong, and it becomes the most important thing in the later stages. But don't worry, Third Brother, with your strength, you will definitely be able to access the method of developing the incarnation.

[Water Cooling - 10th in Order]: The earlier the better. I was a step too late and fell behind quite a bit.

[Dragon God - Eighth Order]: Ah Shui?? You're still here? I thought you were gone! Who went out then?
[Water-cooled - 10th in line]: Thank you, Lao Sai is out.

The group chat quickly went off-topic, with the Dragon God seemingly enjoying teasing Ah Shui, while Ah Shui looked rather unlucky.

Li Xia closed the group chat and secretly memorized the method for developing avatars. "Boss, what do you say?"

The platform for quasi-proxy services cannot be shared, and Aowu and the others cannot see it either; they can only wait for Li Xia's decision.

"I've figured it out. Within the calculation scope of the Hall of Light, this is indeed the score."

Aowu keenly sensed the information contained in those words, and his eyes gradually widened:
"So... the avatar should be stronger than the original body, damn it! Where did the Temple of Light develop this kind of upgrade method?"

No one can answer this question. Each temple has its own unique characteristics, and the unique characteristic of the Temple of Light should be its incarnations.

As for what the unique feature of being detached is, Aowu couldn't answer. After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to utter one sentence: "Extremely good at fighting?"

The answer "especially good at fighting" is very strong.

Li Xia looked through the battle logs and discovered something quite interesting.

Combat damage alert!

Damage values were once disliked by the apostles because they were inaccurate; things like a monster's self-healing ability and damage reduction couldn't be clearly and intuitively observed.

But now that there's an incarnation, things seem different.

Because the avatar has no damage reduction or recovery, the amount of damage taken is exactly what it is, which is quite straightforward and convenient.

Moreover, the damage composition is quite exaggerated.

He finally understood why the opposing mage reacted as if he'd seen a ghost the moment he fired his shot.

With over 6,000 damage, who wouldn't panic?
"Boss, shall we continue?"

After flying around for a while, the little dragon asked, somewhat bored.

"beat!"

Li Xia stood up and closed the floating window in front of her:
"This time, we won't use weapons. You, Little Cat, and Xiaotian can all try it out. At least you'll have a more direct understanding of the avatar."

If nothing unexpected happens, the trash collector is very likely to make a move this time.

If Li Xia had previously considered purchasing an avatar to avoid this period of unemployment, then after learning about the importance of the avatar, he was left with only one path.

That is to rush into the world of seeking light and do everything in my power to obtain the strongest body!
Match! Continue!
"Oh!"

The fist slammed into the burly man's abdomen, and even through the thick armor, the man felt as if his internal organs were all twitching together.

Damage can be transferred, but the sensations on the body cannot. He opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of acidic water, but the person in front of him had already circled around to his back, and the fist, carrying terrifying power, slammed into his waist and ribs again.

Intense pain surged relentlessly, and the burly man even began to doubt whether his heavy armor was real. It was clearly just an ordinary punch, but the damage it caused was no less.

Each punch deals two to three hundred points of damage. Could it be that I've encountered a boxer who specializes in fist techniques?

"bang bang bang bang"

The fists grew faster and faster, and the dull thuds of them hitting the heavy armor became a continuous sound. The burly man was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body.

Whenever he tried to move, he would be interrupted by the force of the fist. The intense pain and numbness all over his body combined to create a special effect that was almost like control.

Damn, where did this pervert come from!
The fist came crashing down with a whooshing sound, but was blocked by a thin barrier of light. The burly man stood behind the barrier, glaring at him resentfully.
"If you're so capable, go fight your way up. What kind of man are you, trying to find someone down here? Bah!"

His figure gradually faded and disappeared, and a notification from the Hall of Light popped up at the opportune moment:
You have won this battle!

Consecutive wins: 18

Current ranking: 926th

[Note: Your estimated combat strength differs significantly from your current ranking. Please choose your opponent carefully.]

"Another one, this is the eleventh, isn't it?"

Inside the preparation room, Aowu conjured a water ball and played with it by swishing its tail back and forth.

After eighteen matches, eleven people angrily accused Li Xia of smurfing. Two female apostles and one male apostle, after being beaten, flirted with Li Xia, wanting to have a passionate encounter.

Three people shook their heads with wry smiles and remained silent.

There was another one who was truly defeated and was the only one who could see Li Xia's true strength and deduce that he had only just entered the fourth rank of the apostle.

Because this was also fried fish, it slightly injured Li Xia.

It's almost inevitable that apostles hate fishing in the arena. The reason they play in the arena is for real combat experience and to train themselves.

Few people are really aiming for the top ten rewards, because everyone knows their own limitations.

However, encountering someone who uses explosives to catch fish provides absolutely no experience; all you feel is frustration and resentment at being abused.

"It doesn't matter, don't worry about it."

Compared to before, Li Xia was actually more energetic. He had previously worried that the existence of the avatar would weaken his PVP ability.

But now we realize that it has not weakened, but rather strengthened.

Because of the existence of the incarnations, the apostles have generally become more 'reckless', meaning they are more willing to accept attacks and don't care about 'minor injuries'.

Sometimes they don't even dodge or evade, thinking they can trade injury for injury.

Seeing Li Xia rush over, he actually bravely charged back, only to be taught a lesson. The damage from the punch could be transferred, but the other status effects that were triggered could not.

Therefore, when the apostles engaged Li Xia in close combat with the idea of trading injury for injury, the tragedy that followed was inevitable.

"almost."

Li Xia stood up, choosing not to continue, and stretched comfortably.

I've become familiar with everything I needed to be familiar with, and I've tried everything I needed to try. Now, I'll spend some time preparing before heading to the World of Seeking Light.

After leaving the arena, Li Xia looked at the sky outside and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"Awoo, go and buy the beacon of the Seeking Light World."

Li Xia gave the instructions:

"Let's bring the kitten along to replenish our supplies."

"okay!"

Aowu, along with his second and third brothers, ran happily toward the commercial street.

The weather gradually darkened, a bolt of lightning ripped across the sky, and then large raindrops began to patter down on the ground.

"Time Scavenger".

Li Xia withdrew her gaze.

"Then come on."
