How Do We Play If This Boss Isn't Nerfed?

Lin Ye glanced at his stat panel.

His Life Value had dropped by over 20,000 points.

Though compared to his total Life Value of over sixteen million, this was just a drop in the bucket. He could recover instantly.

But he was, in fact, injured.

This was the first time since the fight began that Xia Lianxue had dealt any real damage to him.

"You seem surprised that I was able to hurt you."

From high in the sky, Xia Lianxue’s voice became incredibly ethereal, as if it didn’t belong to the mortal world, carrying a lofty indifference.

"I will be the one to win this battle."

"As long as the elements in this world exist, I cannot possibly lose."

Before she finished speaking, the twelve Elemental Magic Balls orbiting her flared with brilliant light and began to spin at high speed.

The next moment, countless terrifying elemental rays, each containing a different attribute, fired at a near-incessant, horrifying frequency, forming a dense rain of light that pelted down on Lin Ye!

Faced with this apocalyptic attack, Lin Ye’s figure suddenly froze in place. He made no move to dodge or evade.

ZZT! ZZT! ZZT!

The countless elemental rays struck him with precision, yet they only left faint white marks, failing to even break his skin again.

High above, a flicker of emotion finally disturbed the god-like indifference in Xia Lianxue’s icy-blue eyes.

Startled, she instinctively flickered away, putting more distance between herself and Lin Ye.

"You..."

On the ground, Lin Ye spoke calmly.

"Weren’t you so confident in your attack power a moment ago?"

Just a moment ago, he had silently activated [Frenzy]!

All Attributes, doubled!

After being doubled, the boost to his Defense Power from his already terrifyingly high endurance attribute was far beyond anything Xia Lianxue could have imagined!

WHOOSH—!

Before his words even faded, Lin Ye’s figure vanished.

A terrifying sonic boom erupted half a second later!

For an instant, it was as if three or four afterimages of Lin Ye appeared in the air, each frozen in a different charging pose.

When Lin Ye’s figure finally solidified in front of Xia Lianxue, the heavenly prodigy who had transformed into an elemental deity felt a chill shoot down her spine.

Fast!

Too fast!

So fast that her eyes could barely track Lin Ye’s complete trajectory!

’How could he possibly unleash such terrifying speed in an instant?!’

’And he’s much faster than he was during the major exam!’

’But... he’s still only at the Gang Condensation Realm!’

PUCHI!

Before she could figure out why, a spear as black as ink had already silently pierced the center of her chest.

However, the spearhead passed straight through as if it were piercing the air, meeting no resistance whatsoever.

A thought crossed Lin Ye’s mind.

’An elemental body... is it immune to all physical attacks?’

...

「Meanwhile, in the Longyin Academy conference room.」

"What is that speed? How can someone at the Gang Condensation Realm have a more absurd physique than someone in the Late Stage of the Divine Realm?!" one person exclaimed under their breath.

A knowing smile touched the corners of Zhu Mingyi’s lips as he grumbled to himself internally.

’This is nothing.’

’The kid hasn’t even activated his Chaos War Body. Now *that* would be truly absurd.’

Sun Lie, snapping back to his senses, said grimly, "His speed and defense are sufficient, but Xia Lianxue’s elemental body is immune to physical attacks. Lin Ye has no way of hurting her either!"

"Not necessarily."

Yi Jiugao, who had been silent until now, slowly shook his head.

Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, Xia Lianxue’s divine, ethereal elemental body trembled on the battlefield, and she let out a stifled groan.

𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Her form instantly dissolved into countless specks of light, reforming dozens of meters away.

Everyone could clearly see that from the spot on her chest where Lin Ye’s spear had pierced through, wisps of white smoke with a corrosive aura were gently rising!

Mu Qingyin raised an eyebrow. "Is that... a Primordial Spirit attack?"

Yi Jiugao nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. "Elementalization merely converts the physical body into a pure elemental form. A Martial Artist’s Primordial Spirit, however, remains their foundation and does not fundamentally change."

"Lin Ye’s attacks are imbued with some property that can directly corrode the Primordial Spirit."

"The girl’s lack of true combat experience is really showing, as I expected."

HISSSSS...

The potent acid of Soul Melting Bone Erosion clung to her like maggots on a bone, continuously searing Xia Lianxue’s Primordial Spirit and sending waves of sharp pain through her.

However, in the next instant, Lin Ye saw the green acid being decomposed, neutralized, and completely dissipated by Xia Lianxue’s will.

After all, the acid itself was composed of various elements.

Lin Ye understood. The move was useful as a surprise, but now that Xia Lianxue had been hit by it once, she would never fall for the same trick again.

Next time he tried to use the Soul Melting Bone Erosion acid, she would likely seize control of the Water Element and acidic substances within it beforehand, neutralizing it completely.

Sure enough, when Xia Lianxue reformed, her gaze toward Lin Ye held a gravity it never had before.

She stopped her indiscriminate barrage and instead merged several Elemental Magic Balls into one, condensing them into a destructive beam imbued with the power of multiple elements. Its might was far greater than before!

Just as everyone thought Lin Ye would be forced back onto the defensive, relying solely on his speed to dodge...

Lin Ye did something no one—not even Xia Lianxue—could have anticipated.

He put away his spear, Dark Night.

"Why does everyone always think..."

Lin Ye looked up at the ethereal, graceful figure high in the sky, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"...that I have no long-range attacks?"

The moment he finished speaking.

VMMMM—!

A massive, hexagonal energy shield, made of pure, ink-black energy and over ten meters in diameter, instantly materialized in front of Lin Ye!

Xia Lianxue’s destructive beam, powerful enough to tear through a mountain, slammed into the shield, only to create a series of ripples before being completely annihilated.

Then, something even more unbelievable happened.

BOOM!

A thick pillar of blue energy erupted from Lin Ye’s right palm, roaring toward Xia Lianxue in the sky with the power to tear through anything!

[Intelligent Mechanization Transformation]!

Xia Lianxue’s pupils contracted. She instantly teleported, narrowly avoiding the Energy Cannon.

However, this was only the beginning.

Lin Ye began to move at high speed across the ground, his attacks rapidly switching between various forms like the Energy Cannon, High-Frequency Particle Blade, and Electromagnetic Railgun.

Deadly energy rays, micro-missiles trailing long fiery tails, and even black "death lines" capable of slicing through space itself surged up from the ground like a torrential storm, completely enveloping Xia Lianxue!

In that moment, the tables turned once again!

Xia Lianxue was forced onto the defensive. Her pride and joy, her total control over the elements, seemed inadequate against the sheer variety and incredible power of Lin Ye’s technological arsenal.

She conjured a thick rock barrier, only for it to be shattered by a single blast from an Ion Cannon!

She unleashed a flurry of Wind Blades that could cut through anything, only for them to be intercepted and destroyed mid-air by Lin Ye’s even faster "Death Line Slash"!

She tried to teleport to create distance, only to discover with horror that Lin Ye could also perform short-range spatial warps, sticking to her like a shadow and relentlessly hounding her!

Above the altar, a ranged duel worthy of being called a battle between gods unfolded.

On one side was a noble saintess who commanded the elements, unleashing apocalyptic torrents of power.

On the other, a future warrior armed to the teeth, raining down a deluge of lethal firepower.

Two completely different, yet equally powerful systems of strength, clashed in the fiercest of battles over this ancient Dragon Race graveyard!

The fiery light of explosions and the brilliant glow of elements intermingled, illuminating the dark-red sky as brightly as day.

A pure long-range duel... and they were evenly matched!

「In the conference room.」

All of the examiners, including Vice Principal Hou Guanghe, wore expressions of utter astonishment.

After a long moment, one examiner finally murmured:

"He... How can he do everything?"

"What is this ability? Is it a skill from some kind of mechanical-type Celestial Abyss Race? But his file has no record of him ever encountering a race like that!"

Everyone’s gazes eventually fell upon Yi Jiugao and Zhu Mingyi.

A rare look of bewilderment appeared on Yi Jiugao’s face, and he subconsciously glanced at Zhu Mingyi beside him.

This time, Zhu Mingyi just shrugged, a slightly awkward expression on his face.

’Why are you looking at me?’

’I don’t know either!’
