The most difficult game in history has descended upon the world, and players can obtain a random talent as soon as they log in.
Jiang Hao starts with a Supreme-level talent: as long as it is ...
Fortunately, Jiang Hao hadn't let the three skeleton deer follow the Skeleton Turtle King; otherwise, this single skill would have killed them all instantly. Jiang Hao was thankful for his arrangement. However, now was not the time to celebrate. The Skeleton Turtle King was still stunned, and Ryan clearly had no intention of stopping. He raised his greatsword high with both hands, his trembling arms bulging with veins, as if unable to withstand the terrifying power of the blade. Only after half a second did the greatsword begin to fall towards the Skeleton Turtle King's head.

Heavy blow!
Ryan's highest single-target damage skill!
This single attack took away nearly a fifth of the Skeleton Turtle King's health. Jiang Hao felt a pang of heartache and immense anxiety. The Skeleton Turtle King had managed to hold on until now, losing a third of its health, but only a second had passed. It was still a full halfway through the two-second stun duration caused by Ryan's charge.
The more anxious you are, the slower time seems to pass. Jiang Hao's heart was in his throat as he watched Ryan raise the broadsword high with one hand.

Thankfully, it was just a normal attack, but Jiang Hao wasn't optimistic. Ryan's attack speed was too fast; a melee skill or normal attack only took half a second. With only half a second left before the Skeleton Turtle King recovered from its stun, Jiang Hao began to pray for it. But what you fear most is what happens. After completing a normal attack, Ryan suddenly leaped forward, his body like a cannonball, instantly soaring 10 meters into the air. Simultaneously, he raised his greatsword high in the air with one hand, then his entire body slammed down towards the Skeleton Turtle King on the ground like a cannonball. His greatsword struck the Skeleton Turtle King's head once more.

One was the damage from a single jump, the other was the critical damage from a normal attack. He thought the Skeleton Turtle King would finally wake up from its stun, but Ryan's jump skill stunned it again for one second. Ryan's skill combos were truly excellent, leaving Jiang Hao no chance to retaliate. Now the Skeleton Turtle King's health was down to only 5470 points, and a sense of despair began to spread in Jiang Hao's heart, but he suppressed it firmly. He felt he could still wait.
Ryan, as if mocking his opponent, didn't use any skills, but simply landed a basic attack on the Skeleton Turtle King's head.

With 4183 health points remaining and only half a second of stun time left, Jiang Hao felt victory was imminent. A hint of excitement appeared on Jiang Hao's face, making his cheeks flush slightly. But then, Ryan suddenly raised his head, gave him a contemptuous smile, and leaped into the air like a cannonball again, this time backward. To Jiang Hao's bewilderment, Ryan's feet slammed into the center of the crossroads, creating a small crater in the ground. Then, with a blur of motion, he charged back towards the Skeleton Turtle King.

White damage numbers floated up above the Skeleton Turtle King's head, while the stun effect star above the Skeleton Turtle King's head began to spin rapidly.
Another charge!
The dizziness lasted for nearly two seconds!
Even four normal attacks were enough to take down the Skeleton King. What remained was the slaughter of Jiang Hao and his summoned creatures.
Jiang Hao realized then how naive and ridiculous his previous thoughts had been. He had simply come up with a bunch of nonsensical reasons to hand over the initiative he held to the enemy, hoping to steal the fruits of victory from his opponent's mistakes, all for the sake of his own non-existent safety.
Ryan's final charge completely woke Jiang Hao up. Giving up the initiative was tantamount to suicide!
Jiang Hao's eyes became incredibly clear, seeing nothing else whatsoever. At the same time, he commanded Skeleton Deer No. 3 to carry him, striding towards Ryan like a king surveying his territory, his previous timidity completely gone, as if the one who should be timid was the world-class boss opposite him. Ryan, seemingly influenced by him, slowly lowered his raised greatsword, his eyes fixed intently on Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao, his staff raised high, finally fell. Ryan's body flashed, disappearing and reappearing beneath Jiang Hao's staff. A dizzying star effect spun above his head. A second later, Skeleton Deer No. 1 joined the battle, then Skeleton Deer No. 2, followed by Skeleton Deer No. 3, and finally, the barely healed Skeleton Turtle King, having rushed over.
The innate stun was so easily connected, one end to the other. Even though Ryan, a world-class boss, had an astonishing amount of health, extremely high attack power, and a good skill sequence, as long as his defense was under the attack of the summoned creatures, it was only a matter of time before he fell.
Ryan's defense reached an astonishing 214 points, but the Skeleton Deer's attack was 304 points, resulting in a damage per second of 90 points. Combined with Jiang Hao's talent, which dealt 52.5 points of true damage every five seconds, the three Skeleton Deer, along with Jiang Hao, could deal 322.5 points of damage to Ryan per second. Meanwhile, Ryan's health regeneration during the battle was a staggering 657 points per second.
In the first four seconds of the battle, one person plus three skeleton deer couldn't even take down a single point of Ryan's health!
Jiang Hao felt like cursing.
What the hell is this combat mechanic? If you can heal during combat, what's the point?!
Fortunately, the Skeleton Turtle King joined the battle in the fifth second. With its attack power of 819 points, plus 52.5 points of true damage every five seconds, the damage per second reached 615.5 points. The world boss Ryan's health finally began to slowly drop.
Jiang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to my lovely Skeleton Turtle King, and thanks to my three adorable Skeleton Wild Deer, it is thanks to everyone's joint efforts that we have achieved this good situation today.
The Skeleton Deer's charge skill requires a sufficient distance from the target to be used. Jiang Hao, fearing they might miss the stun effect of their talent, didn't let them run around recklessly, only ordering them to use normal attacks. The Skeleton Turtle King took on the main damage output role; both its bite and claw attacks increased its damage, so Jiang Hao ordered it to use these skills whenever they were available, since they didn't conflict with the stun effect of its talent.
World boss Ryan was completely suppressed by Jiang Hao's stun ability, unable to move an inch, and his extremely high health began to drop at a rate of nearly 300 points per second. Death was truly only a matter of time.
Finally, at 3 minutes and 42 seconds into the battle, the world boss standing at the crossroads, poor Ryan, collapsed to the ground and died completely.
