Lin Feng's thoughts were very practical.
It was rare to find a monster that could actually impress him. He'd use this opportunity to grind for growth points on the Wild Wolf Armor.
Otherwise, if a player attacked him, it would just be all misses.
Without taking damage, the armor wouldn't gain any growth points.
Thus, a peculiar scene unfolded.
Lin Feng's footwork was elegant as he circled the Rhino Boss.
The Rhino Boss roared and continuously launched attacks.
Four Yellow Turban Warriors formed a perimeter around them, simply pacing back and forth in place.
-34 (+17)!
+5
+18
-38 (+19)!

The growth point progress was rapidly increasing.
You have taken damage. Your Wild Wolf Armor (Eightfold Amplification) growth points +1, currently 9/100.
You have taken damage. Your Wild Wolf Armor (Eightfold Amplification) growth points +1, currently 10/100.
Just as Lin Feng was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard a surprised shout.
"Boss, look what gift I brought you?"
He turned his head to look.
He saw the Master Gatherer running at full speed, his face filled with excitement.
And behind him, a herd of hippos.
And one giant hippo that was several sizes larger than the others.
Lin Feng was stunned. Was this a Hippo Boss?
The Master Gatherer had consumed two Wild Cat Night Vision pills, boosting his night vision to 30% of normal.
He had only seen the Yellow Turban Warriors and Lin Feng together.
From a distance, he hadn't noticed any other monsters.
It wasn't until he led the monsters to within five meters of Lin Feng and ran behind the Yellow Turban Warriors that he realized something was wrong.
"Boss, you're fighting a Boss?"
Lin Feng's expression was calm.
"Otherwise?"
The Master Gatherer's face immediately contorted in pain.
"Oh no, oh no, am I going to harm Boss by luring so many monsters here?"
"I wanted to bring an Level 8 Hippo Boss, two Hippo Elites, and a dozen regular hippos, thinking Boss could handle them easily."
"I didn't expect Boss to already be in combat."
He was completely flustered.
"How are we going to deal with these two Bosses?"
"How else? One is a kill, so three or four is also a kill!"
Lin Feng shed his playful demeanor and swung his sword at the hippo herd.
The Master Gatherer was somewhat confused.
"Boss is imitating a Sword Immortal, trying to look cool."
"At this distance, he can't even hit them..."
As he was thinking this, he saw that the leading hippo had several cyan and white sword energies appear on its body.
The hippo seemed to be stuck in a swamp, its speed suddenly decreasing.
The two hippos behind it were the same, but affected to a lesser extent.
Master Gatherer: "?"
"What kind of sorcery is this?"
"Remote deceleration?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
"This Sword Qi Entanglement is quite useful."
He then thrust his sword fiercely at the rhino.
-2376!
"Come on, big guy!"
The Rhino Boss was feeling very frustrated.
Its proud rhino horn attacks could not damage this human.
It had already begun to feel impatient and was considering retreating.
Unexpectedly, the opponent dared to damage it?
This sword strike had reduced its health by one-fifth.
"Hmph!"
The Rhino Boss's eyes turned red, and it lowered its head to charge.
"I'm going to gore you to death!"
Lin Feng's footwork controlled the two waves of monsters, merging them together.
Instantly, he was subjected to a barrage of damage.
-10 (+5)!
+5
miss!
miss!
+18

The Master Gatherer had expected to see Lin Feng struggling to deal with the trouble he had caused.
Unexpectedly, after the two waves of monsters merged, Lin Feng seemed even more at ease?
"Is Boss teaching me monster-luring techniques?"
"And what is this damage? An Level 8 Hippo Boss only deals 10 damage to Boss, and even then 5 is absorbed?"
"Then Boss automatically recovers 5 health."
"Effectively taking no damage?"
"An Level 8 hippo can't even break Boss's defense?"
"And, every second, Boss automatically recovers 18 health."
The Master Gatherer felt like he was going insane.
"Boss, we are fighting Bosses."
"Two Bosses!"
"Can you please not be so relaxed!"
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, after being surrounded and attacked for a while without retaliating, was getting annoyed.
"The two Bosses are my tools for grinding growth points, so it's understandable that I don't fight back."
"What's the deal with you little hippos?"
"You can't even break my defense, and you dare to make noise here?"
He unleashed a few slashes.
He consecutively cast Sword Qi Entanglement and Sword Qi Vertical Slash.
Instantly, over a dozen damage numbers exceeding a thousand floated up.
The herd of hippos, which had been leaping about, all fell dead and turned into corpses.
As Lin Feng moved, he directed the two Yellow Turban Warriors to merge.
He had decided to cultivate his Yellow Turban Warriors in various styles.
Hippos were monsters with high health and defense but moderate damage.
Naturally, the Flying General and Champion Marquis would not be suitable for absorption.
These two Yellow Turban Warriors, cultivated along the path of high health and defense, were respectively named by Lin Feng as Wall of Sighs and San Cascì.
These were nicknames of two athletes Lin Feng greatly admired in his previous life.
They represented tenacious defense.
Ding, your summoned creature Yellow Turban Warrior (Wall of Sighs) has merged with hippo corpses, permanently gaining 10 health and 2 defense.
Ding, your summoned creature Yellow Turban Warrior (San Cascì) has merged with hippo corpses, permanently gaining 10 health and 2 defense.
Ding, your summoned creature Yellow Turban Warrior (Flying General) has merged with hippo corpses, permanently gaining 10 health and 2 defense.
This pile of hippos allowed the two Yellow Turban Warriors to each gain about 150 health and 30 defense.
Lin Feng could already envision two despair-inducing meat shields slowly being born in his hands.
After clearing out the regular hippos, space was freed up.
The two Bosses took turns attacking Lin Feng with full force.
At this point, he couldn't maintain full health constantly.
However, the rate at which his health decreased was still very slow.
Most importantly, Lin Feng's objective had been achieved.
You have taken damage. Your Wild Wolf Armor (Eightfold Amplification) growth points +1, currently 100/100.
Your Wild Wolf Armor has met the conditions for self-evolution and has been upgraded to Excellent Grade.
A smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips.
"It's done!"
[Wild Wolf Armor] (Twelvefold Amplification)
Grade: Excellent (Growth Potential) (0/1000)
Type: Equipment
Slot: Armor
Required Level: 10
Defense +22 (+20)
Stamina +15 (+20)
Damage Absorption 15% (+50%)
Health Auto-Recovery +1.5%/sec
[No Level Restriction]
[Regeneration]: Every time you take damage, automatically recover 10 health.
The basic attributes had increased by about 50% after evolving to Excellent grade, which was quite decent.
The increase in its traits, however, was more significant.
The next evolution would require 1000 instances of damage.
It seemed he would need to find another good opportunity.
By this time, the damage from the two Bosses had become even weaker.
-14 (+9)!
