After Becoming a Solo Player, My Unlimited Skills Made Me Invincible - Chapter 5

Strength Halo, Four-Digit Damage

Meanwhile, at the city gate.

“Jiang He, are you alright? You don’t seem injured,” Li Xun asked Jiang He absentmindedly standing at the school gate.

Jiang He shook her head, “I’m fine, but… Mo Xiao hasn’t returned yet.”

“What?! Where did he go? We’ve already asked all the students in the beginner’s leveling area to come back!” Li Xun’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

“I don’t know either. Did he run out of the leveling area and go to a higher-level map?” Jiang He shook her head, her face filled with worry. “I messaged him, but he hasn’t replied yet.”

Li Xun clenched his teeth and said, “That troublesome kid! Where the hell did he run off to? I’ll contact some friends to find him right away!”

Although Li Xun was Mo Xiao’s homeroom teacher, he was merely a level 40 practitioner in the Life profession and had no ability to leave the city.

He could only fret in the base city.

Seeing Li Xun’s appearance, Jiang He, standing by his side, also had a hint of curiosity flash in her eyes.

No one knew what she was thinking.

——————————————————————————-

In the Wild Boar Forest, Mo Xiao was looking at his character panel excitedly.

[Character Panel]

Name: Mo Xiao

Level: LV3 (120/1000)

Class: Solo Player

Strength: 41 (+10)

Agility: 27

Spirit: 24

Endurance: 20

Physique: 20

Looking at the character panel in front of him, Mo Xiao couldn’t help but feel his eyelids twitch.

“Wow, the experience required for leveling up has increased significantly! It’s multiplied by five directly? No wonder leveling up is so difficult.”

Just as Mo Xiao was pondering, he noticed that his chat window was flashing frantically, indicating that someone was messaging him.

“”Who’s bothering me now? I was too focused on grinding monsters and didn’t even notice.”

Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao directly opened the chat interface.

Jiang He: Mo Xiao, where are you? Teacher Li has sent a group message asking everyone to return to the city. Come back quickly.

Jiang He: Why haven’t you come back yet? Advanced mutant monsters have appeared in the leveling area, possibly at the elite level! Come back quickly!

Jiang He: Where are you?! Everyone is back!

The chat window was almost entirely filled with messages from Jiang He, leaving Mo Xiao stunned.

“Advanced mutant elite monsters? Didn’t I already kill that elite rabbit? Could it be another boss? Or did something even more powerful spawn?”

Mo Xiao frowned and pondered for a moment.

He simply replied, “On my way,” and immediately turned around to head back to the base city.

After all, according to Jiang He’s description, these so-called mutant elite monsters were probably ridiculously strong.

A few minutes later, Mo Xiao left the Wild Boar Forest.

The leveling area for newbies was not small. In previous years, it would have been completely occupied by newly-transferred students at this time.

However, now there wasn’t a single person here. Clearly, they had been called back by the teachers.

With these thoughts, a sense of unease surged in Mo Xiao’s heart. Without any hesitation, he dashed toward the base city at high speed.

Just as Mo Xiao crossed half of the leveling area, a towering giant ape, about three meters tall and clad in iron armor, suddenly descended from the sky, crashing heavily in front of him.

Mo Xiao’s pupils contracted as he saw this, and he quickly took a step back, creating some distance.

[Armored Giant Ape]: Mutant Elite

HP: 3000/3000

Level: LV15

Strength: ???

Agility: ???

Spirit: ???

Endurance: ???

Physique: ???

Skill: ??? (Exceeds detection level)

Apart from its health points and level, Mo Xiao couldn’t see anything else about this ape. It was as if all the details were obscured.

Looking at the sea of question marks on the panel, Mo Xiao involuntarily swallowed hard.

“It really is an advanced mutant monster… No wonder they called everyone back.”

Just as Mo Xiao was in a daze, the armored giant ape in front of him suddenly let out a roaring growl.

And with a fist a fist like a cast-iron pot, it fiercely swung toward Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao quickly lunged forward, dodging the punch. At the same time, the bow of stars instantly appeared in his hand.

“Swoosh! Pa!”

-31

F*ck me?

Staring at the glaring number, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded.

He was already Level 3 and an orange-tier weapon.

His basic attack should be over 130. Yet, when he shot an arrow, it only deducted 31 points of the ape’s health?

Then this ape’s defense was probably 100 points!

Based on this attribute, the attack power of this iron-armored ape…

It must be in the hundreds, at least!

At this time, the armored giant ape seemed to be provoked by Mo Xiao’s attack and raised its massive foot, aiming to kick him hard.

Mo Xiao dashed away, despite having 27 points in agility.

However, it was clear that it was insufficient against this monster.

“Bang!”

With a dull collision sound, Mo Xiao was instantly kicked away.

-190!

A bright red number appeared above his head.

Luckily, Mo Xiao was already at Level 3, with 300 health points from his 20 points in physique, defense, and base health. Otherwise, that kick would have killed him instantly.

Mo Xiao quickly got up and frantically stuffed the carrots he had collected earlier into his mouth.

“Damn, this guy is too fierce! That kick almost killed me!”

[You were violently rubbed by the armored giant ape, and the skill War Encouragement has been copied!]

[The armored giant ape’s strike has filled you with great fury! War Encouragement has evolved into Power Halo!]

[Power Aura: Unleashes a 10-meter radius aura, granting all teammates within the aura a boost of 30 strength points! Lasts for 10 minutes! Cooldown: 60 minutes!]

30 points of strength!

And it was a group buff with a range of 10 meters!

And it could last for 10 minutes!

This was definitely an incredible support skill!

Mo Xiao’s eyes widened instantly as he read the information provided by the system.

All fears stemmed from insufficient vitality!

Power Halo + Brutal Power + Thousand Catties Force. The amplification of these three skills.

Combined with the lock-on feature of the bow of stars, he could definitely annihilate this creature!

With this in mind, Mo Xiao’s thought of escaping vanished instantly.

He turned around, swiftly darting past the giant ape’s foot, and created distance between them.

“Power Halo!”

“Brutal Power!

“Magic Arrow!”

“Full-strength attack!”

As soon as Mo Xiao created some distance, he activated the four skills simultaneously.

The magic arrow locked onto the armored giant ape.

Mo Xiao shot five arrows in a row without even aiming.

-322!

-161

-161

-161

-1610!

Seeing the last number, Mo Xiao’s eyes lit up.

The thousand catties force was triggered! This was 10 times the damage!

“Hey, look! In Zone 1 of the leveling area! It seems like the armored giant ape is fighting someone!”

“Huh? Fighting? Didn’t everyone retreat to the base city? How could someone be left outside?”

“Are you seeing things? The high-level professionals haven’t even arrived yet.”

“No, wait! That’s Mo Xiao! The solo player!”

“What the h*ll! Look at the damage!”

“Oh my god! 1,600?!”
