Chapter 13: Infinite HP Regeneration, Terrifying Sea Turtle Title!

Chapter 13 Infinite HP Regeneration, Terrifying Sea Turtle Title!

Chen Mo successfully completed his class change and immediately resumed grinding.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

The King-tier Puppet Threshold was unlocked.

The Level 60 version of the Puppet King was undoubtedly one of Sky City's greatest challenges. The swarm of high-health, high-defense, high-damage minions alone were headache enough, but the boss Dougley combined every status effect imaginable—knockback, invincibility, confusion, burn, and bleed—into one terrifying package. Each encounter left players with migraines and shattered composure.

Thankfully, like the Dragon Tower Dungeon, the Puppet Threshold also featured a Gsd-led quest. With Grandmaster Gsd, an 84th-level half-step Second Awakening expert, leading the way, even the dungeon's most brutal challenges posed no obstacle to Chen Mo.

After an hour and three Fatigue Potions later, Chen Mo’s level finally hit twenty.

"F*cking finally!" he muttered. It had been years since he'd ground levels this painfully, and he felt a wave of relief wash over him.

After a short break, he opened the Sea Hero Gift Pack and selected the Sea Hero Turtle title from the five available.

[Title Attributes]

Name: Sea Hero Turtle

Rarity: Advanced

Strength +12

Stamina +18

HP Max +153

MP Recovery 18 per minute

Attack Speed +1%

Movement Speed +1%

Evasion Rate +2%

Stun Resistance +100

3% chance to gain 30 Stamina upon being attacked, lasting 60 seconds.

"According to the forums, this Turtle title has a hidden effect", he mused. "Besides the Stamina boost, there’s supposed to be a chance to recover 10% HP. Wonder if that’s real?"

As he pondered, Chen Mo glanced at Wang Lei. His friend was locked in a duel with a Rank 2 Abyss Knight Set’s Sword Soul. The two exchanged blows for several minutes before Wang Lei unleashed a perfectly timed Silver Falling Blade, knocking the opponent airborne.

Upward Thrust!

Cross Slash!

Xxx!

Upward Thrust!

...

Wang Lei’s dungeon-clearing skills might have been mediocre, but his Pvp prowess was exceptional. As a Red-Eye Ranker, he was unquestionably elite. Without hesitation, he rattled off an effortless combo, finishing off the opponent without needing any protection mechanisms.

"Nice!" Chen Mo called out.

"Wait—did your fatigue bar deplete already?" Wang Lei asked.

"I’m done grinding!"

"Then how about a few rounds in the Pvp arena?" Wang Lei grinned slyly.

"Me? Against you?"

Seeing Wang Lei’s mischievous smirk, Chen Mo immediately caught on. Wang Lei planned to retaliate for all the times Chen Mo had flexed his skills earlier.

"Don’t worry, I’ll remove my gear and skip using my Ultimate Skills", Wang Lei added when Chen Mo hesitated. "What do you say?"

"Game on, then!" Chen Mo laughed. "I’ll join you in the Free Pvp Arena, 86th channel!"

"Coming right up!"

Since Chen Mo’s character was unranked in Pvp, and Wang Lei was a Rank 2 veteran, they could only face off in the Free Arena. When Chen Mo entered the room, Wang Lei had already swapped into basic Blue-White gear.

"Newbie, need me to explain the basics?" Wang Lei asked, barely hiding his eagerness.

"Already looked it up. Let’s skip the tutorial."

"Alright then—start the match!"

The countdown blared:

3!

2!

1!

Fight!

Wang Lei launched a Crescent Wave immediately, his blade’s energy arcing toward Chen Mo. While instinct demanded Chen Mo dodge, he stayed rooted—determined to test the Turtle title’s rumored healing effect.

The attack struck. Chen Mo collapsed.

Mountain Splitter!

Upward Thrust!

...

Wang Lei reveled in his revenge.

"Wait, why aren’t you dodging? You were weaving through those dungeon attacks like a pro earlier!"

"I could, but why bother?"

As Wang Lei ranted, Chen Mo fixated on his health bar:

70%... 60%... 50%... 60%...

Success! The health bar had jumped 10%. Chen Mo exhaled in relief.

"So the Turtle title’s effect still works. If that’s the case…"

The title triggered again, restoring another 10% health. Wang Lei, too busy taunting, failed to notice.

"Backstab! Right hook! Left front kick! Five-hit combo—"

"Hey, Wang Lei", Chen Mo interrupted. "Notice something off about my health?"

Wang Lei squinted. "Off? It’s at 50%—perfectly normal!"

"Wait, I’m sure it dropped below 50% just now. How’s it back up?" Chen Mo feigned confusion.

"Back up? You’re imagining things—"

Wang Lei’s words died as Chen Mo’s health visibly surged mid-combo.

"What the hell?! Are you cheating?!"

"Are you kidding? Who cheats in a Pvp match?"

"No hacks… but this Blue-White gear can't heal you either!"

Seizing the moment, Chen Mo stripped all gear, leaving only the Sea Hero Turtle title.

"Try again!"

Upward Thrust!

Cross Slash!

Xxx!

...

When Chen Mo’s health dropped to 5%, another surge restored 10%.

"Damn! It really is the title?" Wang Lei gaped. "But the Turtle title’s description doesn’t mention healing!"

Chen Mo smirked. "Some hidden effect, maybe?"
