The reaction to Su Bai's ascent to the top of the ranking list was far stronger than expected.

While he was on his shopping spree, the world chat and gaming forums were already buzzing with excitement.

Everyone is curious about who is ranked number one.

Many casual players or professional players who were originally famous in other games have been unearthed.

But soon, they were all confirmed to be not the person in question.

There are also those who impersonate others.

However, in this era where game IDs are linked to social media accounts, this lie can be easily exposed.

Ye Wushen, who was once arrogant and domineering, has not appeared on the internet since then.

Some speculate that he probably deleted his account because he felt ashamed.

However, this rumor was quickly debunked.

Ye Wushen himself stepped forward and clarified on social media: "No matter who stole my number one spot, I, Ye, will take it back one day!"

The God Emperor, who had been relegated to third place, chimed in, "Indeed, such an honor is not worthy of falling into the hands of a cowardly rat!"

They interpreted Su Bai's act of hiding his name as him being afraid to face people.

Little did they know.

This actually prevented them from suffering an even more severe blow...

He concealed his level, and others might guess that he was only around level 10, perhaps around level 11 or 12, and that he still had the motivation to catch up.

If he reveals his true level.

This could lead to despair!

Therefore, Su Bai merely smiled slightly upon seeing these comments—and incidentally noted down the name "God Emperor."

He doesn't hold grudges.

It's just that my memory became exceptionally good after being reborn...

After collecting all the materials, Su Bai returned to the village and asked Fazel and Ishim to take the materials to Destiny Village to recruit people on his behalf.

He then returned to the beach to grind experience points.

The mountain road to Tianming Village is quite rugged, and it takes more than two hours to go there and back.

When the team returns.

Su Bai should have almost maxed out his experience points to level up from 19 to 20.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, large waves surged up on the beach.

A colossal turtle, as large as a house, slowly emerged from the sea. Its thick limbs were covered with hard, tough skin, and its blue shell was covered with jagged bone spikes. Its eyes, as large as copper bells, were filled with intense hatred.

"You will pay the price for slaughtering my people!"

A deep, muffled growl emanated from its body.

A system notification was also sent at the same time.

[Warning: You have killed over five hundred alligator snapping turtles, angering the species' leader, who has dispatched elite units to retaliate. Be careful!]

...

The system's warning actually relieved Su Bai.

This giant tortoise made such a grand entrance, but it turns out it was just an elite unit.

Cursed Arrow!

Wind Bullet Technique!

Without hesitation, Su Bai raised his hand and unleashed two consecutive skills.

He had already discovered when cleaning up common alligator snapping turtles that these aquatic creatures had extremely high fire resistance, making fire spells almost ineffective, so he saved himself the trouble.

He could use the remaining casting time to unleash another Wind Bullet spell.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The wind bomb blasted the giant tortoise's back, shattering a patch of attached barnacles.

-727!

-788!

-749!

...

The damage displayed above the monster's head surprised Su Bai slightly.

This guy's defense is insane.

The damage absorbed by an elite monster is almost as much as when he challenged a boss monster of a higher level.

However, having outstanding attributes on one hand inevitably means that its other attributes are lacking.

The giant tortoise's weaknesses were soon exposed.

It's too slow.

After surfacing, the monster's speed could only be described as tortoise-like. After trying to catch up for a few steps, the giant tortoise realized the problem and simply shrank back and stopped moving.

At this moment, all the spikes on its shell emitted a hazy white light.

Su Bai was confused and unleashed a skill, which caused damage and also made his shield shake.

Rebound! -225!

Rebound! -231!

Rebound! -227!

...

The damage from a single Wind Bullet was less than one-twentieth of that to the giant tortoise, but it actually deflected more than a thousand of his shield!

"What the hell?!"

Su Bai immediately realized that something was wrong.

This monster is so cunning!

As for threats, its movement speed is as slow as a snail, posing no threat to anyone at all. But with this big guy lying there, Su Bai can't just ignore it.

The question is, how do you fight this thing?

[Spike Alligator Turtle: Elite, Level 30, Health: /]

Its attributes appeared before Su Bai's eyes.

The giant tortoise is just an elite monster; its health isn't that outrageous, but it still has close to 70,000 points.

Based on the proportion of damage from the rebound.

Before you can kill it, you will definitely be killed by its own attacks.

Should we wait for the shield to regenerate and slowly wear it down?

Even less likely.

His shield can regenerate automatically, but monsters also have an automatic health regeneration attribute, and the amount is not small; they can regenerate 1% of their maximum health per second during combat.

That translates to nearly 700 health points being restored per second.

In the past, Su Bai didn't need to worry about this issue because his output was high enough.

Now they've got him completely under control.

"In this situation... if we don't wait for the Templar Knights to return, it would be best to use poison or other methods."

Su Bai, with his rich experience, quickly came up with a solution.

Damage caused by poison or items will not be counted against the player.
