Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 53: True Virtue Conquers Others! (Please Read!)
A strong sense of oppression, like an airtight wall of air, completely enveloped Luo Xiu.

Seeing Leonard approaching, Luo Xiu's inner alarm bells rang.

--Danger!
——Extremely dangerous!
"Fuck, he doesn't really want to win people over with his virtue, does he?..."

Suddenly, Priest Leonard, while still approaching, spoke:
"Rosius Carlos, there is no problem with your information, and I am too lazy to do unnecessary tests."

"But you have to understand one thing. The Holy Inquisitor is not just playing house."

"To become a 'Holy Judge' means being in danger at all times."

"Even if you choose to become a 'consecrated priest', I will never let any weakling pass the test so easily."

"..."

As Leonard finished his words, his figure suddenly doubled in size in Luo Xiu's vision!
Leonard rushed forward instantly and punched Luo Xiu hard in the abdomen!
--boom!

Luo Xiu was blown away on the spot and hit hard against the wooden furniture in the corner.

The wooden furniture made a "crackling" sound and several eye-catching cracks appeared on the surface.

[From Leonard Bambers' "Merciful Punch", received 73 points of damage...]

As Luo Xiu took a heavy punch from Leonard, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and something in his stomach was churning and could burst out at any time.

This was the first time that Luo Xiu had suffered a real heavy blow since he had traveled through time.

The boxing skill Leonard used was "Mercy Punch". Luo Xiu knew that this was a skill for bare-handed attacks.

——"Merciful Punch" will calculate damage according to the "Physical Attack" force given, but will always keep the target's health above 1 point.

In other words, this is a skill that can "show mercy" and is often used in scenarios where the target needs to be captured alive.

Apparently, Leonard's attack on him with the "mercy punch" was indeed just a test.

...No, rather than an assessment, it’s more like a trial!
……

Luo Xiu's expression was tense, and when his body regained mobility, he quickly rolled away from Leonard.

"...Huh? You can do it, kid."

Leonard was a little surprised. As a "consecrated priest", he was able to recover so quickly after taking a heavy blow from himself. This was somewhat beyond Leonard's expectations.

He also felt that when the punch hit Luo Xiu, the feedback was not right.

——Just like punching a cactus, Leonard's fist sent back a slight tingling sensation.

……

Watching Leonard slowly approaching, this was not a real battle after all, and Leonard was also giving Luo Xiu a chance to catch his breath.

Luo Xiu then quickly completed the chanting of "Primary Healing Technique" and applied healing to himself.

The "primary healing technique" has been upgraded to level 5, and can provide hundreds of points of healing at a time, healing Luo Xiu's injuries instantly.

"……Huh."

Leonard's eyes lit up, and he looked Luo Xiu up and down again:
"You are very proficient in your healing skills, huh?"

Luo Xiu did not answer, but continued to chant other skills.

He quickly finished chanting the "Elementary Prayer" and then used "Holy Blessing" on himself.

Finally, Luo Xiu took out the "White Oak Staff" and cast the "Blessing of White Oak" on himself in advance.

And just after Luo Xiu completed this series of buff stacking, Leonard's figure approached again!

Leonard clenched his right fist and hit Luo Xiu hard again at an extremely fast speed.

--boom! !
In Luo Xiu's field of vision, he only saw the afterimage of Leonard's fist.

This time the heavy punch landed on the right side of the chest. Luo Xiu's breathing was instantly choked. He felt as if the right side of his chest seemed to cave in instantly, and several ribs were broken.

[118 points of damage received from Leonard Bambers' "Merciful Punch"...] Just like the last time, Leonard still used the "Merciful Punch", but this time he increased the power of the attack.

Luo Xiu flew backwards on the spot and hit the furniture on the other side heavily. From behind him came the crisp sound of something breaking.

But this time, because Luo Xiu had cast the "Blessing of White Oak" in advance, he received timely treatment, and the physical discomfort did not last too long.

After Leonard punched Luo Xiu, he stopped where he was and looked at him calmly.

Leonard originally thought that Luo Xiu would be like the other "consecrated priests" who wanted to join the "Holy Inquisitor" before, and would fall to the ground after being hit by two punches at most.

But Leonard saw that Luo Xiu quickly climbed out of the dent in the wooden furniture.

Apart from a few blood stains on his body, Luo Xiu didn't seem to be seriously injured!

"… How can this kid be so strong? What did he eat to grow up?"

Deep in Leonard's heart, slight doubts began to arise. He quickly approached Luo Xiu, not giving him any chance to breathe!

At this time, Luo Xiu had just woken up from the dizziness caused by the previous bombardment.

When he raised his eyes, he saw an oppressive figure, swinging his fist and walking towards him with murderous intent.

...No way, again?
The corner of Luo Xiu's eye twitched. He finally understood why there seemed to be no "consecrated priests" in Connor and Pamier's Holy Inquisitor team.

...Who the hell can stand this!

A normal ordained priest would be lying on the ground after getting hit twice...

He kept complaining in his mind, but Luo Xiu, whose agility was far inferior to that of his opponent, could only watch the sandbag-sized fist, accompanied by a whirring wind and a blurry shadow, approaching him.

--boom! ! !

This time, Leonard used nearly 80% of his strength, directly slamming Luo Xiu against the wall, creating a deep dent in the wall!

The whole room shook violently, and Luo Xiu felt dizziness and severe pain rushing into his head, as if someone was holding a toilet plunger, sucking and stirring his brain.

[From Leonard Bambers' "Merciful Punch", received 168 points of damage...]

"..."

Luo Xiu used the last bit of consciousness he had left to take a glimpse at the amount of damage he had suffered.

At this time, "Primary Healing" and "Blessing of White Oak" are still on cooldown, and "Group Healing" cannot completely heal the injuries.

If Leonard punches him again at this moment, he will really come in vertically and go out horizontally...

At this moment, Luo Xiu was stuck inside the wall, unable to get out.

In a trance, Luo Xiu felt a huge force pulling him.

[From internal organ rupture, receiving 14 points of damage...]

"..."

Suddenly, Luo Xiu felt his whole body lighten.

He felt as if he was being carried on someone's shoulders, and then he heard the sound of a wooden door creaking open.

"——Connor!" It was the voice of Priest Leonard, "Come here and send this kid to Marilyn for treatment."

"..." Connor was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice:

"He failed the test...?"

"No, he passed. He is fully qualified to join the Holy Inquisitor."

Leonard's old voice said:

"I was very optimistic about this guy, so I couldn't help but punch him a little more..."
