There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 117 "Is this a male or a female?



```

"Really, how can someone as dumb as you become the vice president, huh."

"And don't think all men are controlled by their lower half."

"At least I'm not."

"I'm a pure love player, I only love my wife, and I'm not interested in women like you."

"Even if you were standing naked in front of me, I wouldn't give you a second glance."

"Okay, maybe as a man, I'd instinctively take a quick look, but I definitely wouldn't look twice."

"Even if I did take a second look, I wouldn't look a third time."

"So——"

"Let's meet again if it's fated."

"Bye-bye."

Sword Without End waved his hand and said goodbye to Yan Niang, then found himself a spot at the edge of the players to patiently wait for the boss to arrive, without going near Chen Yi. This matter was no longer explainable to Chen Yi.

Who knew that although Yan Niang usually acted crazy, she was normally sane, but today, she just went totally nuts.

...

Yan Niang, with a dark look on her face, stood still, contemplating how to report this matter to the leader. After all, Sword Without End was one of the stronger players in Skywake, and his departure was no small impact.

Although "Skywake" was a voluntarily formed organization that allowed freedom of entry and exit.

But if it really was a free-for-all, what would be the difference between "Skywake" and a public market?

Just then, a voice sounded in her ear.

"Skywake?"

Wang Yimei approached with a face full of feigned kindness, smiling, "I just happened to overhear your discussion about Skywake. I've heard of this organization; they say it's a group of highly skilled players who gathered together on their own initiative."

"Are you from 'Skywake'?"

"Do you think I could have the opportunity to join Skywake?"

"You?"

Yan Niang turned her head to look, and upon seeing this man in a tracksuit approaching, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes. She hadn't expected him to be willing to join 'Skywake'!

Anyone standing here was among the world's top players, so naturally, it was a good thing if they wanted to join 'Skywake'.

She verbally lashed out at this man just now because she always disliked those men who loved to show off, like Chen Yi and this man who has just spoken. But if he was willing to join Skywake, then naturally everything was negotiable.

She looked up at the retreating figure of Sword Without End, and with a bite of her teeth said resentfully, "Agreed, from now on, you're with 'Skywake', but you must surpass Sword Without End in the rankings!"

"Sword Without End, huh?"

Wang Yimei quickly searched his memories and soon found what he was seeking; during the Children's Day limited event on June 1st, that guy who showed off by giving out flowers, and liked to buy special effects and costumes.

Surpassing that man shouldn't be a problem.

"Has that man joined?"

Instead of responding immediately, he looked towards Chen Yi's back not far away.

"Chen Yi?"

Yan Niang's eyes flickered with irritation. She ground her teeth and said fiercely, "He's not worthy."

"He's not worthy?"

Wang Yimei suddenly felt a secret thrill of pleasure and couldn't help but laugh. An organization Chen Yi wasn't worthy of joining, yet he was allowed in so easily—it was a pleasant feeling indeed.

However, he wasn't actually here to join Skywake.

His gaze casually swept over Yan Niang, his pupils hiding a shadow as he remembered how this woman had embarrassed him. He hadn't forgotten.

Anyone who made him lose face had to pay with their life as compensation.

And just then——

A purple-red circle of light suddenly emerged on the ground, followed by a huge turtle slowly rising from the depths of the earth to the surface.

The turtle's shell was nearly a hundred meters long and wide, truly colossal!

Before all the players could react——

They saw the massive turtle suddenly pull its head and limbs into its shell, and then scales grew inside the shell, sealing the openings!

It had completed a perfect defensive posture in an instant!

Before the players could react!

A man holding a long spear tentatively stood under the giant turtle, raised his spear, took a deep breath, and with a loud shout, "Go!"

Then, the spear in his hand flashed with lightning, thrusting straight at the turtle's shell!

"Clang!"

A jarring metallic clash sounded!

And the sharp point of the spear grazed the turtle shell, sparking off showers of sparks!

An exaggerated amount of damage appeared above Xuanwu's head.

'-1!'n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"One point of damage?!!"

The man stood frozen in place, forgetting to thrust his spear again. He looked up in disbelief at the damage above the boss's head, rubbing his eyes. Once he confirmed he had really only inflicted one point of damage, he was completely dumbfounded on the spot!

What the hell!

One point of damage? What's the joke here?!

Are they messing with me?

It was his all-out attack, yet it had resulted in only one point of damage?

He looked up at the boss's health.

One zero, two zeros, three zeros... a total of 1 million health!

```

Its health isn't too high.

It's not even as high as the First Layer World Boss, but isn't this defense a bit too exaggerated?!

He somewhat incredulously took a deep breath, raised his long spear high, and activated his D-grade Skill "Spear Like a Dragon".

Suddenly, a silver dragon appeared, wrapping around the man's spear, its tip bursting with blinding yellow light. With the swiftness of lightning and under the man's roar, the spear thrust straight toward the turtle shell!

"-18!"

"..."

The man stood on the spot, somewhat dazed yet somewhat relieved, feeling unsure of what to do next.

His Ultimate Move had only dealt 18 points of damage, yet to chip away at this 1 million health pool.

Heh.

Don't tell me they expect us to fight until nine o'clock in the evening? At that time, they would all be forced to sleep, and it's during their slumber that this boss would shed its shell's defense and start attacking the players relentlessly?

Could it be that this boss's method of attack is actually based on the June rules?!

Meanwhile, the spectators chatting in the barrage were coming to realizations as well.

"1 million hit points, and normal attacks only cause 1 point of damage, probably a mandatory damage value, how long is this going to take?"

"Before dark, we might not even manage to defeat it, right?"

"I suddenly understand now, did you see that the boss wasn't fully coiled inside its shell when it appeared? It means that the boss isn't just in this one form, it's currently in a defensive state. Everyone knows the June rules, right? You must sleep forcibly from nine to ten at night. This World Boss might just keep hiding until all players are asleep, and then start attacking!"

"Damn, that's really possible, you mean to say this boss's attack method is actually based on the June rules?"

"It's not too bad I think. With three mistakes allowed by the June rules, even if we don't sleep tonight, there are still two chances left, not particularly a tough challenge. If this is all the World Boss has to offer, at most it'll cost these players one chance."

"Thank goodness it's the June rules and not the May rules. If a boss appeared under the May rules, these 78 players would be done for instantly."

"The one who mentioned the May rules just now, did your family registry get wiped clean? If you can't talk properly, just shut your mouth. No one thinks you're mute."

"If that kind of boss appears, not only these 78 players would be GG, but all the spectators watching would be G too."

"I'm not willing to accept this!"

Han Yu was watching the battle within the First Layer World Boss Space, his eyes full of unwillingness as he had successfully advanced to the Second Layer World Boss Space first in line.

Yet he missed the chance to enter the Third Layer World Boss Space.

With his capabilities, even if he could only deal 1 point of damage at a time, what of it? His bleeding damage could stack continuously. When others had no means, he could inflict considerable damage!

His Skills and Props were incredibly suited for tackling the Third Layer's World Boss!

Just he had no chance to enter!

If he were allowed inside, he would show everyone what bleeding damage meant!

He would definitely be the first.

No, wait... rather, the second.

Han Yu suddenly looked complicatedly towards the man who was in the Third Layer World Boss Space. That man held a weapon capable of dealing percentage damage. It was uncertain, however, how effective it would be against a boss with such high defense.

But even if it were only half as effective, that man would definitely be stronger than him!

It seemed that this time, the show would belong to that man. While other players could only deal a mandatory 1 point of damage per attack, that man could easily deal nearly ten thousand points of damage with a single spear thrust!

The gap was too huge.

He suddenly felt somewhat relieved that he didn't make it in. Rather than being a background character, it was better to be an audience member.

...

"Is it male or female?"

Zhong Kui stood underneath the huge turtle, scrutinizing it carefully for anatomy that would indicate its sex, but he was truly having a hard time telling whether the turtle was male or female. There were no organs to be found.

Were they hidden inside the shell?

He really wasn't clear on the anatomical structure of a turtle's reproductive organs, as school hadn't taught him this.

He shook his head shortly after, not pondering any further.

Male or female, a punch would reveal the truth.

D-grade Skill, "Premeditated Blast Punch" activated.

Title Effect, "Heaven-Shattering Fist" activated.

He took a deep breath, his expression fierce as he punched straight toward the turtle's belly: "This punch at nine times the damage, what will you use to block it?!!!"

"-9!"

"Uh..."

An awkwardly low damage number popped up.

Nine times one is nine.

It was perfectly logical, and it seemed that the turtle was likely male. Had it been female, it surely wouldn't have been just a mandatory damage.

"What a pity."

Zhong Kui shook his head helplessly. Since it was a male turtle, there was little he could do; his Skills were all designed for female bosses. With a male, he genuinely didn't have many good options.

Yet he understood the principle of accumulation. Though each hit was a small amount of damage, they could amount to something considerable over many hits. As long as he attacked more times than other players, his ranking would be higher and the rewards better.

...

Yan Niang pulled out a fan emblazoned with flames from her embrace. With a light flick toward the massive turtle, a dragon-like blaze surged through the air and slammed heavily into the boss!

The scorching heat wave made the other nearby players feel their faces warm up!

"-273!"

The damage appeared above the boss's head!

She was the first player to inflict three-digit damage.
