Su Xiao lay on the ground motionless, seemingly asleep, with the corpse of Resentful Orphan·Hughes beside him.
"It seems... luck is on my side this time."
Su Xiao sat up and glanced at Hughes's corpse. Based on strength comparison, Hughes was much stronger than him, but in the end, he won. This was due to his own strength and Hughes's unfamiliarity with his abilities.
Su Xiao speculated that Hughes had likely just evolved into this form. The opponent's attacks were monotonous and didn't seem like someone accustomed to using heavy weapons, nor was he familiar with using skills.
If Su Xiao had Hughes's attributes and skills, he would never charge directly at the enemy but choose to fight a long battle. With that soul-eroding aura, no one could outlast Hughes.
