"Still alive?" Luo Wei looked closely and found that Zhang Lang's mangled body was writhing wildly, regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the scattered pieces of flesh were rapidly withering and turning to ashes.

"What kind of ability is this?" Even though Luo Wei had been traversing the interdimensional battlefield for many years, he had never seen such a regenerative ability!

"No wonder he possesses such immense power; this is indeed the most suitable ability for the altar..." At this point, Luo Wei's eyes turned cold: "There is no one in this world who is unkillable. I'd like to see how long you can last!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and another metal ball floated beside him.

Although it's not mentioned in the description, the Holy Gallbladders were originally a pair.

Seeing that Zhang Lang's torso regeneration was already taking shape, Luo Hui's eyes flickered, and a sacred gall floated high into the air before suddenly plummeting down and crashing into Zhang Lang's newly regenerated flesh with a thud!

Although the acceleration distance was not long, the force of thousands of tons still caused Zhang Lang to be slammed and his skin to be torn open!

Immediately afterward, one rose up while the other slammed down. Boom! Another loud bang, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the newly regenerated tissue shattered once more.

And so, the two sacred galls slammed down alternately, creating a series of booming sounds at extremely high speeds. After each attack, the sacred galls flew higher and slammed down harder than before.

At first, it only damaged the newly regenerated tissue, but gradually, even his once intact lower body was not spared. The relentless attacks left him with not a single unscathed spot, and the crater he was in kept getting deeper and deeper under the constant bombardment...

Despite such relentless attacks, Rowe still hasn't received the bounty for the successful kill.

"So tenacious?" Luo Wei's eyes blazed with killing intent, and the Holy Gall's attacks grew stronger and stronger!

Just as he was getting into the swing of smashing things, a golden light suddenly shone from the entrance of the crater, and a golden, semi-transparent protective shield covered the entrance.

Boom!

The Holy Gallbladder struck the protective shield, causing a violent tremor, but ultimately failed to break through it!

Upon seeing the protective shield, Luo Wei frowned.

"What's got you so angry?" A calm yet resonant voice rang out. "Isn't your Sacred Gallbladder supposed to be so formidable that it doesn't need a second strike?"

Luo Wei turned his head and saw a refined-looking man walking slowly towards him not far away.

The man appeared to be around forty years old, but his demeanor suggested a more mature age. He was tall and slender, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and dressed simply. He was also carrying a thick book, making him look like a university professor.

"Ning Yi..." Luo Wei gritted his teeth and called out a name: "What, is the Broken Sword now involved in matters between bounty hunters?"

Ning Yi arrived in the blink of an eye: "The purpose of the Broken Sword is to bring good news to all reincarnators of the Shen Clan, including bounty criminals who have gone astray."

"However, I am not here on behalf of the Broken Sword this time..." Ning Yi said, pointing to the molten pit protected by the golden light: "The person below is my son's benefactor. President Luo, could you please give me, Ning Yi, some face and let it go for now?"

"What? You, surnamed Ning, are going to stand up for him?" Luo Wei raised an eyebrow. "Fine, this kid killed over seventy of my Blood Gloves brothers. Are you going to pay for those seventy-odd lives?"

Ning Yi chuckled: "Dying in a mission only means you were outmatched. If that's grounds for compensation, then Luo Wei's debts are probably a hundred times greater than his!"

"Then this matter can't just be left like this!" Luo Wei sneered. "You're not just thinking of repaying a debt of gratitude with your looks, are you?"

Ning Yi shook his head, opened the book in his hand, and took out a card, which he then threw out.

Luo Wei caught it and saw that it was a unique copy card. Its effect was to perfectly copy enhancements of rare level and below, while for unique level and above, it could copy degraded versions. It was a very practical fire enhancement.

"Not bad!" Luo Wei put away the card, satisfied, and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll give you face today and let him go!"

"It's not just him!" Ning Yi added, "His real-life relatives and friends are also under your surveillance, right?"

"Don't worry, while I'm not exactly a saint, I'm not that despicable either..." Luo Wei chuckled. "But this kid isn't so easy to deal with. Your Broken Swords won't be able to control him!"

After saying that, the guy leaped away.

Ning Yi removed the golden protective shield and looked down into the bottomless crater.

Not long after, a commotion came from the bottom of the molten pit, getting closer and closer. Finally, with a splash, Zhang Lang, completely naked, burst out of the cave, still in the state of a god descending to earth, looking around warily.

"Don't bother looking anymore, Luo Wei is gone. He won't bother you and your friends for now." Ning Yi smiled, opened a storage space, and took out a set of clothes for Zhang Lang.

"Put these on. They're a little small, but this is the main world, and it's not convenient to be naked."

Zhang Lang caught the clothes, returned to normal, and looked at Ning Yi with suspicion: "Who are you?"

"My name is Ning Yi, the president of the Broken Sword East Association branch..." Ning Yi smiled and said, "You may not have seen me, but I have heard of your deeds."

"To defeat several alien heroes and score over 60,000 points in a single game is an unprecedented feat. You are undoubtedly the strongest sacrifice. And my son's idol!"

"Your son?" Zhang Lang looked at Ning Yi. "You're Ning Chengyu's father? You're the one who drove Luo Wei away?"

Mr. Ning smiled and nodded.

"Thank you!" Zhang Lang nodded to Ning Yi and began to get dressed.

Ning Yi looked at him and laughed, "Aren't you worried? This time you've provoked that madman Luo Wei, you probably won't have a peaceful life from now on..."

"I'm no match for him right now..." Zhang Lang admitted frankly, "but I'll soon be stronger than him, and then I'll turn him into a bounty."

"Pretty arrogant, huh!" Ning Yi laughed heartily. "You certainly have the right to be arrogant. To possess such strength at the sacrificial stage is simply unheard of!"

"I originally planned to mold my son into a super sacrifice, but even in my ideal scenario, he is far less powerful than you are now."

"But unfortunately, even if you advance to the level of a hero, you may not be a match for Rowe."

"Hmm?" Zhang Lang turned his head and looked at Ning Yi.

"I've investigated your resume..." Ning Yi looked into Zhang Lang's eyes: "The earliest record of a Reincarnator assassin is from twenty-nine worlds ago, but by then you had already begun hunting Reincarnators and had considerable strength. This means that it wasn't your first mission; you've served as a sacrifice in more than thirty missions."

"In other words, even if you advance in the next mission, you can only take on D-level difficulty. Even if you use the advancement key, it's only C-level. Twenty points in all attributes are significant for ordinary sacrifices, but for you, the improvement is negligible. Do you really think you can defeat Rowe then?"

Zhang Lang frowned slightly. Ning Yi thought he had guessed correctly, chuckled, and continued, "I don't know what kind of fortuitous encounter you had, how you found the loophole in the altar, and how you were able to stay at the sacrificial stage with hero-level strength, constantly racking up points in low-difficulty tasks, and gaining a lot of enhancements in a short period of time."

"Especially in this recent mission of divine punishment, I don't know exactly how many points you scored, but it probably set a new single-game scoring record for the Shen Clan, and even for the twelve major planes."

"It's fair to say that, based solely on the scores you've achieved, you've surpassed the vast majority of Hero-level players, and you possess the corresponding strength. By sacrificing advancement rewards for scoring opportunities, you can grow faster than others, but you've also encountered a bottleneck earlier, right?"

"Bottleneck?" Zhang Lang raised an eyebrow, seemingly not quite understanding what Ning Yi was talking about.

Ning Yi sighed softly, "No matter how many enhancements are applied, they are still randomly assigned. How many of them are truly suitable for you?"

"Even if your enhancements are very powerful, as a Reincarnator, no matter how many skills you have, how many can you use at the same time? No matter how many weapons you have, how many can you wield at the same time? The seemingly safest way to stack attributes becomes increasingly difficult to obtain in the late game. It can be said that all heroes will encounter a bottleneck in the very late game."

"Although I get a lot of new enhancements each time, almost none of them are actually useful. Most of them are returned to try my luck. My equipment hasn't been replaced for years. Occasionally, I get a few attribute points, but they're only slightly better than nothing. My strength has hardly improved since the last mission."

Zhang Lang had not yet experienced this stage, but he could roughly imagine it from Ning Yi's description.

Seeing Zhang Lang's thoughtful expression, Ning Yi assumed he shared the same sentiment and continued, "In the eyes of these veteran heroes, ordinary, rare, and even exceptional enhancements have become commonplace. Only the unique and unprecedented are the keys to improving strength!"

"Unprecedented, unparalleled, and impossible to replicate, it defies all rules. Therefore, the greatest driving force behind the fierce competition among the top heroes of each plane is actually their unique enhancement!"

"The altar has existed for an unknown period of time. The unique enhancements that can be normally extracted or synthesized have all appeared more than once. Most of them have been recorded and preserved as data. After being compiled into a book, they are called the Unique Encyclopedia."

"Currently, the encyclopedia records over two thousand unique enhancements, but a significant portion of them are constantly occupied. For a single reincarnator, it's virtually impossible to obtain the one they want through luck alone!"

"A single reincarnator..." Zhang Lang raised an eyebrow, roughly guessing Ning Yi's purpose in wasting so much time on words.

"Yes, a significant portion of interdimensional warfare is actually a battle for unique enhancements. Heroes from all planes use every means to hoard unique enhancements, even if they don't need them themselves, to prevent other planes from acquiring them. Sometimes, even diplomacy between different planes relies on unique enhancements as bargaining chips!"

"It can be said that due to its powerful effects, irreplaceable attributes, and unique enhancements, it is the most valuable and reliable currency among hero-level items!"

"This kind of thing can't be controlled by individual strength alone. To others, possessing a uniquely enhanced Reincarnator is like having a walking gold mine. The best way to avoid being lured by such a treasure is to join a powerful force that can back you up!"

"You mean the Broken Sword?" Zhang Lang saw through Ning Yi's intentions: "To persuade me to join?"

Ning Yi smiled and nodded: "Isn't this all beneficial to you? Currently, the entire Shen Clan possesses fewer than a hundred unique enhancements, and the Shattered Sword accounts for sixty-six of them. Among them, twenty-four can be traded at any time. As long as you join, you will gain the opportunity to possess these enhancements! I believe that with your strength, this is not a difficult task!"

Zhang Lang shook his head.

"Are you sure you want to refuse?" Ning Yi looked into Zhang Lang's eyes: "The unique advancement key is also in our hands. If you join, I can make an exception and apply to give you an advance on this enhancement."

"That would give you the opportunity to complete the Rank B trial, which is exactly what you need, right?"

"By the way," Zhang Lang nodded, "I have something to ask you."

"What?" Ning Yi's eyes lit up; it was good that he was interested!

Zhang Lang pointed to the ground: "Luo Wei teleported away everyone on the train to ambush me. Are they alright?"

Ning Yi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and explained, "Although Luo Wei is a vicious bounty hunter, he won't go too far in the main world. After all, this is the foundation of the entire Shen clan... I don't know what method he used, but he will definitely ensure the safety of those people."

"That's good..." Zhang Lang nodded. "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not interested."

"I will remember your kindness in helping me defeat Luo Wei today, and I will repay you in the future. Farewell."

After saying that, Zhang Lang stepped on the air, activated the Void Moon Stepping Technique, and left the mountain forest, leaving Ning Yi behind, gazing in the direction he had left, lost in thought.
