This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
In the tunnel, Wang Chen held a Qi Recovery Pill in his mouth.
рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM
Just now, he had cast the Fire Crow Technique three times in a row, depleting a great deal of mana in his dantian.
The bodily fluids quickly dissolved the pill, and the mixed medicinal liquid entered his stomach, transforming into pure spiritual energy in an instant. Under the refinement of the Five Elements Skill, it continuously replenished his Qi Sea.
Wang Chen’s mana climbed steadily, quickly restoring him to his peak condition.
Even in courage, one should not act recklessly.
He did not rush out to search for prey but stayed by the entrance of the cave, restoring his mana while perceiving the movements in the room above, ensuring there were no other Evil Beasts present.
To prevent an unexpected catastrophe.
After his Divine Soul increased by one point, Wang Chen distinctly felt that his perception abilities had strengthened.
This was no illusion of his.
The enhancement of perception by the Divine Soul attribute was very direct and clear. If not for having used all his points on Root Bone previously, he would have added them sooner.
Inside the bedroom, there was quietness, and Wang Chen made no discoveries.
But this was still not entirely safe.
With a flick of his wrist, he cast an Evil-Repelling Talisman upward.
The Evil-Repelling Talisman Wang Chen used was of inferior grade, capable of dealing with Evil Wraiths of the Gray Roam Level.
Against stronger Evil Wraiths, the effect would be considerably less.
But for detection, it was more than sufficient.
The Evil-Repelling Talisman abruptly exploded in the room, and the Pure Yang Qi, like the scorching sunlight, cleansed and illuminated the surrounding area.
If there were any Evil Wraiths present, they would have nowhere to hide.
The result pleased Wang Chen.
He crawled out of the tunnel and returned to his own bedroom.
He saw that both pieces of furniture in the room—the bed and the wardrobe—had been torn into pieces by the infuriated Wolf Beast.
The floor was a complete mess.
Wang Chen had no time to tidy up; he crept to the windowsill and peeked out through the gap in the window.
The courtyard was silent, the fog seeming to have thinned a bit.
Wang Chen left the room and went outside, leaping onto the courtyard wall.
The fog still shrouded the earth, with the eerie howls of wolves reaching his ears from afar.
Wang Chen’s heart sank.
The Defense Area was equipped with a night patrol team that would patrol the jurisdiction every night.
They were there to guard against the invasion of Evil Wraiths and bandits.
Yet, the appearance of the Evil Beast had come without the slightest warning, as if Cloud Sun Sect’s outermost defense system had failed.
Such a situation was extremely unusual!
Moreover, the fog around him gave Wang Chen a bad feeling.
It didn’t seem natural but rather like something created by a certain existence to cover the movements of the Evil Beasts!
Wang Chen couldn’t be sure his judgment was correct.
But he certainly wouldn’t leave his home and venture into the fog to look for Evil Beasts.
That would be pure suicide!
Suddenly, an unusual noise not far away caught Wang Chen’s attention.
He saw two Wolf Beasts leap out from the fog.
Wang Chen’s heart chilled.
Because the direction from which the Wolf Beasts had appeared was precisely Old Sun’s home!
With such a grave incident, one couldn’t know if the newly married Spiritual Plant Farmer could survive the ordeal.
But at this moment, Wang Chen had no time to worry about others; he immediately crouched down and formed a spell with his hands.
“Go!”
When one of the Wolf Beasts came close enough, Wang Chen shouted lowly and triggered the Fire Crow Technique.
A Fire Crow, carrying fierce flames, sped through the air, covering a thirty-step distance in a flash.
It hit the Wolf Beast accurately.
The scorching flames instantly covered it, inflicting terrible damage.
“Awooo!”
This Evil Beast was blasted open, its skin torn and fur completely singed, emitting a piercing howl.
The other Wolf Beast spotted the attacker and immediately charged towards Wang Chen’s position with a roar.
It was incredibly fast, closing in on the courtyard wall in a breath’s time.
It leapt high into the air with great force.
At this moment, Wang Chen had already jumped back down into the courtyard and swiftly dodged into the room.
The Wolf Beast followed closely, not giving him a moment to breathe.
As Wang Chen skillfully dived into the tunnel, he narrowly avoided being caught by a Wolf Beast’s claw prodding inside!
However, a miss is as good as a mile, and such a slight delay decided the fates of both sides.
Just like its kin with insufficient intelligence, the Wolf Beast also attempted to burrow into the tunnel to chase after Wang Chen.
Boom!
[Human Virtue +15]
A moment later, a second Wolf Beast followed.
Boom!
[Human Virtue +15]
In just the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, two Evil Beasts had fallen into the same trap, adding another 30 points of Human Virtue to Wang Chen’s score.
His Human Virtue points surged to 97.
Only 3 points away from a hundred!
Wang Chen had already mastered ten spells, and two more were awaiting his grasp.
Moreover, all the spells he wielded were leveled up to proficiency and beyond.
He had an almost insatiable need for Human Virtue points to use for Breaking Threshold!
97 points of Human Virtue was indeed an unprecedented wealth.
But when it really came down to it, it wasn’t much at all.
After clearing the Wolf Beast’s ashes from the tunnel, Wang Chen set out once more to hunt for monsters.
He had tasted the sweet fruits of monster trapping and found it almost addictive.
Regrettably, these two Evil Beasts did not drop any Yin Qi Pearls, or it would have been perfect.
Rumble
Just as Wang Chen returned to the top of the wall, the sky suddenly resounded with the crack of thunder.
He couldn’t help but look up.
The heavens above were roiling with dark clouds, with purple serpents of lightning weaving through them, as though they were about to tear the whole night sky asunder.
And the surrounding mist was dispersing at an astonishing rate.
Wang Chen soon saw beams of light shooting up into the sky.
Those were signals from Defense Areas calling for warning and aid!
Such a scene was not unfamiliar to Wang Chen.
But he had been seeing it a bit too often lately!
Crack!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the ground, illuminating a tall figure with its flash.
Wang Chen’s breath caught!
Because he was too far away, he couldn’t accurately gauge the figure’s height.
But taking the nearby houses as a reference, the figure was at least seventy feet tall.
Equivalent to a seven-story building!
It was a giant monster the likes of which Wang Chen had never seen before, its huge body as big as a hill, with grey-white skin and a bald head, its palms reaching the ground.
The lightning that had descended from the heavens struck the giant beast squarely, making it bellow in anger.
“Roar”
Wang Chen’s head almost exploded.
He couldn’t imagine what it would be like if he were right next to the giant beast!
His eardrums buzzed.
Without any hesitation, Wang Chen escaped back to his room at full speed.
He dived into the tunnel.
And hid in a secret chamber thirty meters deep.
Even so, Wang Chen could still sense the disturbance coming from the ground above.
Myriads of thunderbolts were crashing down, casting turmoil like the stirring of the wind and the shaking of mountains.
It was as if the apocalypse had arrived!
Even within the shelter, he felt as though he was on a small boat in the ocean, at risk of capsizing at any moment.
Undoubtedly, a fierce battle had erupted outside between powerful Cultivators and invaders.
Wang Chen had no idea how many Superiors, or even True Persons, the Cloud Sun Sect had dispatched.
He felt his own insignificance once again.
But Wang Chen was not panicked or trembling.
Just his desire to become powerful.
Never had it burned so fiercely!
The second update is here, please vote for recommendation.
