A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

148: It will cost extra!Bai Tian’s feat of killing Crane Old Woman with a single punch had thoroughly shocked Black-Faced Buddha.

Although Jiang Yuebai was also stunned by Bai Tian’s strength, she understood they couldn’t let the tiger return to the mountains.

”We can’t let him go.”

”Come with me to chase him.”

She broke through the water’s surface, her figure stunningly beautiful, and swiftly pursued the fleeing Black-Faced Buddha.

But this was tough on Bai Tian.

The speed of two Grandmasters, one who could tread water as if flying—how could an ordinary young man like Bai Tian possibly keep up?

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuebai and Black-Faced Buddha vanished from his sight like the wind.

Although Bai Tian temporarily possessed the in-game Rebound Talent and Zan Po passive, in the real world, he still had to face the fact that he was just an ordinary young man.

Bai Tian swam helplessly toward the shore, waiting for Jiang Yuebai’s return.

The moment he stepped onto the bank, he suddenly noticed the outfit on his body seemed to lose its magic, its glow gradually dimming until it completely vanished.

Bai Tian was stunned.

Without the protection of the outfit, he felt an unprecedented unease.

Once he got back online in the game, Bai Tian was determined to find Teacher Flower Monk to perform the ritual again, granting him the game’s abilities in reality.

Otherwise, with his in-game identity now exposed, his situation would become exceptionally dangerous.

While groping his way ashore in the dark, Bai Tian accidentally tripped over a rock, nearly falling and bruising his knee black and blue.

However, the rock that tripped him shattered into pieces the moment he stumbled.

This sight made Bai Tian’s pupils tremble. Could it be that even after losing the outfit, he still possessed the Ricochet and Zan Po abilities?

To test this hypothesis, he found a plate-sized rock, wrapped his left hand with his removed clothes, and began repeatedly throwing punches at the stone.

On his ninth punch, with a ’crack’ sound, the rock instantly crumbled to dust.

A flicker of joy flashed in Bai Tian’s eyes, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

It seemed his Ricochet and Zan Po abilities were still there!

However, without the protection of the outfit, facing attacks from masters in reality, he would likely still get injured.

But as long as Ricochet and Zan Po worked in reality, he had some means of self-protection.

Moreover, Bai Tian boldly speculated that he might possess more than just Ricochet and Zan Po; abilities like Heavens Protection, Heaven Bearing, and Refresh might also be his.

Because the minor injuries he had sustained earlier had completely healed—this was clearly the miraculous recovery effect of Heaven Bearing.

And now, he still felt full of energy without a hint of fatigue; perhaps Refresh had restored his stamina.

Of course, these were just his speculations and needed time to verify.

Next, all Bai Tian could do was wait for Jiang Yuebai’s return.

He never expected her to be a martial arts master in reality. Bai Tian was both surprised and somewhat relieved.

Today was fortunate that Jiang Yuebai was here; otherwise, his outcome would have been hard to predict.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yuebai’s coldly elegant and tall figure suddenly appeared behind Bai Tian.

She complained, ”You’re too much. I risked my life to clean up your mess, and you’re hiding here slacking off.”

At this moment, Jiang Yuebai’s exquisite, flawless cheeks appeared even paler, her vivid lips stained with a trace of blood, her breathing somewhat hurried as she lightly pressed her left hand against her abdomen.

Clearly, she was injured.

”Brocade! You’re hurt?

Seeing this, Bai Tian was startled. He wanted to support her but felt she probably didn’t need it.

Jiang Yuebai’s resentment hadn’t faded. Biting her red lips, she said, ”It’s all your fault. With your strength, if you had chased with me, crushing that evil monk would have been easy.”

”But instead, you left me alone...”

Bai Tian knew she misunderstood him and hurriedly explained, ”It’s not that I didn’t want to help you; I simply couldn’t keep up with your speed.”

Jiang Yuebai looked at him puzzled. Bai Tian didn’t hide it: ”I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t have your skills of scaling walls and treading water.”

”The reason I could kill that Crane Old Woman with one punch earlier was because of the game’s abilities.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuebai’s cold moon-like eyebrows raised.

Simultaneously, she also noticed that the cyan robe Bai Tian had been wearing earlier had disappeared.

Now that she thought about it, that garment really did resemble the outfit from the Brilliant game.

However, regarding Bai Tian’s claim that his ability to kill Crane Old Woman came from the game, Jiang Yuebai remained skeptical.

She asked, ”You’re not trying to tell me you can use the game’s abilities in reality, are you?”

Bai Tian nodded seriously.

He knew this was hard to accept; if roles were reversed, he’d feel the same.

He continued, ”You remember my in-game talent is Ricochet, right? If you don’t believe me, try hitting me now—but gently. Earlier, when Black-Faced Buddha hit me, his arm was dislocated from the Rebound.”

Seeing Bai Tian’s earnest expression, Jiang Yuebai, despite her doubts, decided to give it a try.

With a ’whoosh,’ before Bai Tian could even react, a flying kick landed on his buttocks.

She aimed for his butt because she didn’t want to actually hurt him and also to satisfy a little mischievous urge.

With a ’thud,’ Bai Tian was sent flying by Jiang Yuebai’s kick.

Although Jiang Yuebai used less than ten percent of her Grandmaster strength, Bai Tian was still sent sprawling forward by the kick.

Jiang Yuebai had planned to catch Bai Tian mid-air with one hand after kicking him.

However, unexpectedly, she herself let out a startled ”Ah!” as if kicked from behind, lost her balance, and tumbled forward.

But Jiang Yuebai was, after all, a Grandmaster-level expert. She quickly performed a mid-air flip, landing gracefully and steadily.

Yet, at this moment, Jiang Yuebai’s beautiful face could no longer maintain its composure, filled with an incredulous expression.

She exclaimed in utter amazement, ”I... my goodness, you really have the game’s abilities?!”

Jiang Yuebai immediately helped Bai Tian up from the ground and eagerly pressed, ”Quick, quick, tell me, how did you get abilities from the game?”

Clearly, Jiang Yuebai also desired to obtain the game’s abilities like Bai Tian.

Bai Tian didn’t hide anything, telling Jiang Yuebai everything about Flower Monk in detail.

After listening, Jiang Yuebai’s beautiful eyes lit up: ”It’s because of our teacher in the game?”

Excitedly, she pulled Bai Tian along, saying, ”Let’s go, let’s go back and log in. The power should be back on by now.”

”I want Teacher to give me the game’s abilities too.”

Although Jiang Yuebai’s appearance was cold and elegant as snow, her personality was impulsive and fiery.

However, Bai Tian expressed some concern: ”So much has happened tonight. Should we just go back and play games like this?”

Jiang Yuebai pursed her red lips, speaking mysteriously and calmly: ”Don’t worry, I’ll handle the aftermath.”

As a female university student, Jiang Yuebai possessing such astonishing strength clearly indicated her identity wasn’t simple either.

Since she said so, Bai Tian felt considerably more at ease.

Jiang Yuebai added, ”Your in-game identity is exposed. For now, you’ll live with me... Anyway, I’ll protect you.”

Mid-sentence, she suddenly changed her words, a blush rising on her cheeks.

”But remember, bodyguard fees will cost extra!”

Jiang Yuebai playfully winked, revealing her cute side.
