"Good, then tell me, what abilities and weaknesses does this guy have?" Zhang Chen asked.
"I don't know its weaknesses, after all, this guy is too strong, but as for abilities..."
"It can devour humans to strengthen itself. The effect of strengthening is related to the strength and talent of the humans it devours."
"The stronger the humans it devours, and the greater their potential talent, the more it will improve."
"Of course, those who are devoured will disappear forever and cannot be resurrected by any means."
"It can also evolve through devouring and repair injuries. It's a very troublesome fellow!"
"I think your best option now is not to wear it down, but to escape immediately. Although you are very strong, your current strength is not enough to defeat such a fellow..."
Before the faceless demon spirit could finish speaking.
Zhang Chen had already charged forward.
"Hey, are you even listening to me!"
"If you can't do it, you can let me out too!"
The faceless demon spirit was on the verge of tears. Why was Zhang Chen like this? Too reckless!
A minute later, Zhang Chen reached the edge of the ruins.
Although the giant worm's movement was also slow, its body was massive, and any slight shift covered dozens of meters.
This speed was much faster than Zhang Chen running on his own two legs.
Zhang Chen didn't know why, but even though he possessed immense power within his body, he couldn't channel it into his legs.
His running speed was only slightly faster than that of an ordinary person.
Seeing Zhang Chen, who was powerful enough to send the giant worm tumbling several times with a single punch, taking a full minute to reach the battle site, left Zhao Xiyue and the others dumbfounded.
This was not how they imagined the battle unfolding!
Didn't they expect him to rush over instantly, or fly over?
Watching the small black dot move slowly in the distance, they felt an inexplicable sense of amusement.
"Roar!"
Seeing the small, insect-like Zhang Chen beside it, the giant worm rolled to the side, intending to crush him.
*Buzz!*
Suddenly, a spiritual energy beam shot out, piercing directly through the worm's body.
"Roar~!"
The worm writhed in pain.
However, this only caused the wound to tear open further.
More than half of its body was pierced by the spiritual energy beam, and large globs of mucus gushed from the wound.
Yet, before they could fall onto Zhang Chen, they were evaporated by the spiritual energy beam, emitting a foul odor.
"It can use spiritual energy strikes at such a high frequency?! This is too powerful!" Zhao Xiyue watched, mesmerized.
Was this the battle of the strong?
Of course, if one ignored the rather comical sight of his minute-long run.
"I told you, this is useless. It has strong regenerative abilities!"
"You're just depleting your spiritual energy like this!" The faceless demon spirit roared anxiously from afar.
It was starting to regret siding with Zhang Chen.
But it was too late for regret; the Demon God would certainly not tolerate it.
If Zhang Chen died now, it would be completely finished.
All it could do now was pray that Zhang Chen wouldn't die.
*Buzz!*
As soon as the faceless demon spirit finished speaking.
Zhang Chen fired another spiritual energy strike, then a third, a fourth...
His hands moved up and down, unleashing countless spiritual energy beams in all directions.
Moreover, the energy intensity was just right, enough to pierce the giant worm's body.
Although the worm had strong regenerative abilities, it couldn't keep up with Zhang Chen's rapid, indiscriminate firing speed.
Soon, its massive body was riddled with holes like a honeycomb, and countless pus flowed out from the openings.
Its enormous body began to collapse rapidly, its skin slowly shriveling, like a deflated balloon.
*Puff!*
A few minutes later.
The giant worm turned into a pool of pus and then dissipated into black smoke.
Only a sixth-tier demon core was left on the ground.
"Huge profit, tens of millions in hand!" Zhang Chen excitedly collected the demon core.
On the other side, the girls from Phoenix Academy were flushed with shock, gasping for air!
"Five hundred and eighty-six times!"
"He fired five hundred and eighty-six spiritual energy strikes in just five minutes..."
"Yeah... When we were learning, didn't the teacher say not to overuse this skill, as it could lead to spiritual energy depletion... Five hundred and eighty-six in five minutes, isn't that considered overuse?"
"Then what would overuse look like?!"
