In front of the Black Algae Mountain Range, on the sandy ground.

Clang, clang!

Bai Pu felt like he was forging iron.

The Doomsday Spear thrusts out and lands on the shell of the sand crab, feeling much like hitting a shield.

Still like a large shield the size of a little mountain!

Suffering from the disadvantage of size, Bai Pu caused little damage but took quite a bit of recoil damage.

Then he looked at the sand crab, its two massive pincers moving fiercely, clamping aggressively toward Bai Pu.

Of course, considering its large size, 160 agility points equate to about 80 agility points in human form, which is quite slow to Bai Pu and poses no threat.

"Lord Dior, do you need my help?" Iron Spine Balrog waved his Iron Spine Whip, expressing his loyalty.

"Scram!"

Bai Pu suddenly stepped forward, dodging the giant pincers of the sand crab just in time, stabbing one of the sand crab's protruding eyeballs with his spear! Dark yellow bodily fluid splattered, and one of the sand crab's eyes was punctured.

As the sand crab roared in pain, Bai Pu leapt and struck down from mid-air! Another downward spear strike, chopping off the sand crab's other protruding eyeball.

These two protruding eyeballs were without the protection of a heavy shell and were sticking out, definitely counted as weak points.

Bai Pu's weak point attack directly disabled it.

The sand crab suddenly spun around like a top, its two massive pincers like heavy hammers!

Bai Pu, airborne at the time, tried to forcibly gather his energy to dodge, but was pulled by an invisible adsorptive force, his body temporarily slowed down, and he was struck by the large pincers, sent flying!

With nowhere to leverage in the air and being of small physique, suffering the disadvantage of power judgment, it's normal for Bai Pu, even with strength much above the sand crab, to be sent flying.

Whether intentional or not, Bai Pu's trajectory of being sent flying happened to pass over Nikanuo's head.

Swish, Bai Pu stylishly twirled his spear in mid-air, and the half sand crab eyeball hanging on the Doomsday Spear tip landed precisely on Nikanuo's head.

Nikanuo jumped in fright, though he was an Elite Template, he was merely a Wizard Apprentice, not rigorously trained for wizard combat—like now, thinking he was protected by gladiators, he didn't even activate his magic shield to conserve magic power.

Thankfully, it was just half an eyeball, a false alarm.

Bai Pu also landed quickly, stopping and dashing forward again!

This time, he used magic: Mud Technique, turning the sandy ground ahead into a muddy swamp.

First casting in the Ascension Plane, Bai Pu felt some strain; Mud Technique is inherently a wide-area field magic, yet now its range was surprisingly small, akin to a little mud pit, and the depth created was only a few feet.

This kind of Mud Technique isn't lethal, at best it can slow the sand crab's speed, disrupting its ongoing spinning skill.

Nikanuo saw Bai Pu's magic: Mud Technique, didn't even flinch, clearly this magic from the Tier One Plane was far too ordinary for him, at best considered a small trick.

Though ordinary, Mud Technique was quite effective.

The sand crab was spinning madly on the sand, but as its body sank, it felt resistance increasing, its rotation slowed and eventually stopped.

Having lost both eyes, it relied on keen smell to find the enemy's position.

Suddenly, the sand crab screeched, charging toward Nikanuo at high speed, braving the Mud Technique!

—It smelled its own blood and eyeball scent from Nikanuo!

Nikanuo incredulously looked at Bai Pu: Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?

Bai Pu displayed an innocent expression. He intentionally did it accidentally.

Of course, appearances had to be kept up, Bai Pu charged forward, the Doomsday Spear struck the ground to lift the sand crab's massive body, flipping it.

To clash head-on with the large-sized sand crab indicated Bai Pu's offensive power judgment crushed the sand crab's passive power assessment value! Keep in mind large-sized creatures' power assessment values are enhanced by 50%.

This is also the benefit of the Silver Medal Gladiators, the "Silver Gladiator Brand" boosting Bai Pu's All Attributes by 25 points, Life Value by 2500 points! It already exceeds the attribute boost of the Gaia Seal (Tier One), overshadowing it.

Now, adding all Celestial Human Attribute points to power, Bai Pu's power reached 243+86+30=359 points!

Offensive Power Judgment, reaching 359+20+10+50=439 points!

Thus, the explorers witnessed an astonishing scene—

Bai Pu, standing at 1.9 meters tall, wielding a spear over two meters long, with each strike being powerful and forceful! Making the colossal sand crab with a building-sized body back-stricken, its tentacles flailing wildly, unable to flip itself over!

This scene was truly contrary to visual common logic.

Suddenly, the sand crab spewed out a series of yellow spheres.

Those series of yellow spheres were clearly the sand crab's Talent Skills, exploding consecutively mid-air, becoming individual "Sand Balls"!

After the Sand Balls exploded, a curtain of yellow sand formed, blocking visibility. These sands seemed infused with the sand crab's Talent Energy, even capable of isolating perception.

Darkness loomed before Bai Pu, who swiftly retreated.

As the curtain of yellow sand disappeared, the sand crab vanished without a trace, leaving a vast hemispherical sand pit on the ground.

"The monster escaped?" Iron Spine Balrog scratched his bald head.

"No, it's still here!"

Wizard Apprentice Nikanuo wasn't distracted by the "Magic Compass" then, but scanned with Spiritual Power, nervously stating, "It's hiding underground... It hasn't left, it's coming for me, save me!"

Nikanuo activated his magic shield, a layer of shimmering blue light enveloping himself.

The next second, with a rumble, Nikanuo's body was skyrocketed into the air!

Creak!

A pair of giant pincers lashed out above, as if to grind Nikanuo to mincemeat!

"I'm gonna die, gonna die, gonna die! Help, help, help—"

Nikanuo evidently didn't think his magic shield could withstand this giant sand crab's burrowing + surfacing + giant pincer twisting combo attack. Just the impact from [Surfacing] shrank his magic shield's brilliance to half its size!

In front of those gigantic pincers, more terrifying than an excavator's arms, the battle-inexperienced Wizard Apprentice Nikanuo completely lost his courage.

However, the scene of Nikanuo being clamped into pieces didn't materialize.

He free-fell, landing awkwardly on the sand.

Meanwhile, the ferocious giant sand crab already lay prone, with three enormous wounds on its abdomen, viscera flowing alongside bodily fluids.

Bai Pu retracted the Doomsday Spear, smiling as he said, "You're safe now."

"Too dangerous... too dangerous! I'm not doing this anymore, I'm going back to Tefula City!" Nikanuo sat on the sand, wailing desperately.

Aside from the Ascension Plane's difficulty granting him strength boosting, this Wizard Apprentice was ultimately a young man under twenty, with combat experience sorely lacking, rarely having such life-and-death encounters.

"Mr. Nikanuo, do you know why you weren't crushed by the pincers?" Bai Pu suddenly asked.
