Liu Yan gripped his dagger tightly and used all his strength to accurately hit the beast's weakness.
However, with a bang, the dagger was repelled, and the Fire Qilin was unharmed.
He immediately used his swift steps to pull away.
Only then did he notice that the scales on the Fire Qilin's body were very thick.
Even with his terrifying strength attribute and the threefold increase in strength, he could not cause any damage to it.
Liu Yan glanced at the dagger in his hand. It was the Federation's special dagger that he had upgraded to E-grade with his Spirit. But now, it was clearly not sharp enough and could not be used.
He didn't expect that he couldn't penetrate the Fire Qilin's scales and couldn't cause any harm to it with his strength.
In this way, his weakness was exposed.
Previously, Liu Yan's close combat ability was not bad, but as his long-range attack ability improved, especially archery, close combat had become his weakness.
Liu Yan was helpless. Fortunately, he still had a huge advantage in speed.
As he spoke, he relied on the speed that he was best at to continuously shuttle and repeatedly test the Fire Qilin's bite.
Although he could dodge the bites, he could not pull away and launch long-range attacks. After all, the Fire Qilin was very fast. It did not give Liu Yan any time to do so.
Without a better choice, Liu Yan decided to prolong the battle.
He would use his own physical strength to exhaust the Fire Qilin first. Then, when it was tired, he would find an opportunity to attack unexpectedly and kill it in one blow.
However, since the Fire Qilin had already reached level eight, its physical strength was likely to be on par with Liu Yan.
Even so, at this moment, he had no other choice. After all, he was unable to use the long-range attacks that he was good at.
Liu Yan sensed the consciousness of the shadow and felt a little depressed.
It seemed to want to come out and fight with him.
After all, the shadow had just been subdued, and its level was still very low. Its combat ability was also relatively weak. Liu Yan did not even think about it, nor did he consider how it could be of any help.
But now, the shadow's fighting will was very strong.
Liu Yan gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try. In the worst-case scenario, if the shadow could not defeat it and was useless, he would only put it back into his ring.
Following that, Liu Yan released his shadow.
The summoned shadow appeared in front of Liu Yan.
The wolf pup's body was very small, only half the size of a human. It formed a sharp contrast with the Fire Qilin that was the size of a few people.
However, when the Fire Qilin saw the shadow that was obviously much smaller than itself, it seemed to have seen its nemesis. It immediately gave up attacking and fled.
Shadow didn't give Fire Qilin the chance to do so. It rushed up to attack and bit it.
Although An Ying's combat strength was not very strong, the Fire Qilin did not dare to resist. The Fire Qilin was blocked by Shadow and helped Liu Yan launch a close-range attack.
Liu Yan was shocked when he saw this. It turned out that Shadow could restrain Fire Qilin. No wonder it was so eager to come out.
While Liu Yan was still shocked, he did not stop moving. He hurriedly took out the Ten Thousand Beast Bow.
Then, he activated Poison Control, and the poison immediately attached itself to the arrow.
Following that, as his strength increased, Liu Yan entered a berserk state, and his strength increased by three times.
At the same time, his archery ability had increased by several times with the help of his unlocked archery pole.
The Ten Thousand Beast Bow was pulled into the shape of a full moon. An arrow shot out, accurately hitting the target and piercing straight into it.
Fire Qilin immediately felt pain and was furious. It was enraged and no longer feared the Shadow Wolf. It turned around and attacked.
Seeing this, Liu Yan naturally would not let the shadow face it head-on. He hurriedly ordered the shadow to retreat.
Since he had already activated the Ultimate Tier of the Beast Trainer, Liu Yan could not only sense the Shadow Wolf's thoughts, but also his thoughts.
After saying that, Shadow Wolf quickly retreated and did not stay behind to fight.
As for Liu Yan, he quickly activated the Mist.
In an instant, the white fog enveloped the entire area. At the same time, it also brought about multiple effects such as paralysis and delay.
The Fire Qilin's vision was greatly affected. It could only rely on the difference in smell and temperature to find Liu Yan and the shadow.
Liu Yan immediately placed Shadow back on the stage to prevent him from being attacked by the Fire Qilin. He himself had the passive skill, Aura Concealment.
In an instant, the shadow disappeared from the Fire Qilin's perception. Liu Yan could still feel it, but he was not sure. It could only sense the approximate location of the target.
When he got close, Liu Yan, who could clearly sense everything in the white fog, had already left at a terrifying speed.
In this way, no matter how powerful the Fire Qilin's attack was, it would not be able to touch Liu Yan.
Liu Yan seemed to be strolling in a garden, strolling in the white fog. He shot out arrow after arrow, and they were all fatal because they were aimed at the vital parts of the Fire Qilin, such as its head.
With his unlocked Precise Shooting and Piercing Shot, not only could Liu Yan accurately hit his target, but every arrow could also release a stronger penetrating power. His arrows could pierce the scales of the Fire Qilin and cause damage.
Soon, Liu Yan shot seven or eight arrows. After the poison took effect, the Fire Qilin fell to the ground.
Congratulations on winning the battle. [Obtained: Experience 480]
Liu Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the notification confirming that he had killed the Fire Qilin. He withdrew the fog, and the surroundings returned to normal.
As expected of a powerful grade-8 guardian beast. He gave Liu Yan 480 experience points in one go.
Liu Yan, who had just leveled up to level four, had suddenly reached half of the next level.
If another Fire Qilin like this appeared, then he could directly advance to Level 5.
As far as he knew, other Awakened ones who had just entered the second floor of the tower were considered strong if they were on the second floor. The number of Awakened ones on the third level could be counted on one hand.
As for Liu Yan, he was already half of Level Four. The gap between them was huge.
Liu Yan stepped forward to take a look. There was the corpse of the Fire Qilin, and beside it was the treasure it was guarding, a warm jade.
Liu Yan glanced at the jade's data. Its level was very high, reaching [A] class.
However, its influence was somewhat vague. He needed to use a special method to stimulate the power of fire in his body before he could use it.
It was too troublesome. Liu Yan did not even think about it and directly used God's Essence on it.
A white light enveloped the jade, and a notification appeared in front of Liu Yan.
The firestone's spirit was successful. [Obtained: Flame Control (Grade A)]]
[Flame Control]
Level: A
Effect: You will be able to freely control powerful flames and cause great damage. At the same time, it could also greatly increase one's resistance to flames!]
Liu Yan could feel the changes in his body. At this moment, he could clearly feel the fire elements around him.
He extended a finger and a small fireball appeared.
With a thought, the thumb-sized flame flew out and instantly turned into a two-meter-wide fireball. It was extremely terrifying!
Liu Yan was shocked. As expected of an A-rank skill, it was indeed powerful and terrifying.
As a result, his strength had also increased by quite a bit.
If he were to encounter a ferocious beast like the Fire Qilin again, Liu Yan would not have to worry that he would not be able to break through its defense. As long as he used the Fire Element, he could easily break through its defense!
This was also the first A-rank skill that Liu Yan had obtained so far!
Then, Liu Yan looked at the Fire Qilin's corpse beside him. Just as he was about to cast Spirit on it, he sensed Shadow's strong desire for the Fire Qilin. It seemed to want to eat the Fire Qilin's corpse.
Could it be…
