The pills melt instantly upon entering the mouth, but the demonic food requires chewing and digestion. The opponent's attacks are almost uninterrupted, so even if you eat it, you'll probably be forced to vomit it up the next second.

"Kid..."

Seeing Ji Fanya's condition, Yuan Tun also became anxious and shouted, "Keep going! If we find the central hub, we'll win!"

"Yes, the central hub!"

Ji Fanya wiped the blood from his face, struggled to open his already blurry eyes, and continued searching the puppet.

He had searched almost every possibility on the puppet, and now there was only one place left to search.

Ji Fanya lowered his gaze and looked between the puppet's legs.

Although he really didn't want to think in such a lewd way, there really was only that one spot left to check.

Actually, if you think about it, placing the central hub here would indeed be the most discreet option.

but…

Just thinking about the craftsman who created this puppet and the actions he took when placing the energy source made Ji Fanya unable to bear watching.

It's absolutely... an eyesore!

"Gurgle..."

However, now that it was a matter of life and death, Ji Fanya disregarded his inner unease and directed the golden water to spread towards the puppet's last fig leaf.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

As the last piece of cloth was completely corroded away, the puppet's entire body was revealed to Ji Fanya.

Sure enough, in the puppet's "place," there was a red mystic stone embedded there, and countless dense patterns were flowing and shimmering.

"That weapon refiner is truly despicable!"

Thinking about how long he hesitated, how he was beaten half to death, and how the central point was actually at such an indescribable point, Ji Fanya really wanted to drag that puppeteer up and beat him up!

Fortunately, this weapon refiner was a bit willful and didn't create a third leg for the puppet.

Otherwise, he would really be disgusted to death.

Having found the puppet's weakness, Jinshui immediately enveloped it.

However, the puppet's skin was extremely tough, and it was not easy to break through the defenses covering the central core. During this time, Ji Fanya lost count of how many attacks he had suffered.

"Bang..."

He felt that as the final attack landed, his consciousness began to dissipate, and he could no longer control Jinshui.

Before he closed his eyes, he saw that the skin of his central nervous system had finally been worn away.

And then…

He knew nothing and was plunged into complete darkness.

"Da da da..."

Outside the tower, Di Moyu and the others remained silent, their eyes fixed on the twenty-eighth floor of the Refining Tower.

Behind her were Shi Keliang and others who had rushed over after receiving the news. Xue Xiaoqing's eyes were swollen from crying.

"The light went out!"

After an unknown amount of time, the crystal representing the 28th floor, indicating the completion of the challenge, dimmed.

"Da da da..."

Then came a slow, heavy footstep. Everyone looked over and saw that the core disciples had come out.

In his arms, he was also holding a person covered with a white cloth.

A white cloth covering the face is a symbol of death.

"Master Pot..."

Upon seeing this, Xue Xiaoqing covered her mouth with her hand and burst into tears.

Shi Keliang and the others also took a step back, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Dean, I'm sorry we're late."

Several core disciples, their faces grieve, stepped forward and gently placed the person in their arms on the ground. "When we arrived, our junior brother had already been dead for some time."

"Xiaoya is dead..."
