Breaking the Masked Man

As you let go.

The frost wolf, covered in phantom gold fire, fell to the ground, and the aroma of roasted meat began to waft out.

"Roar!"

The Frost Wolf King roared and instantly recognized the aura of the Illusionary Golden Fire. Its fur bristled instantly, and its massive body, nearly two meters tall, resembled a tiger. Sharp fangs were exposed, and icy cold air swirled in its mouth. Its beastly eyes stared coldly at Yao Yan.

"It's good that you recognize me. Come on, play with me."

Yao Yan smiled even more brightly, and at the same time, he pointed at his finger. He had been living a very repressed life for the past few years.

The Frost Wolf King growled, but instead of launching an attack, it manipulated the surrounding frost wolves to surround Yao Yan.

"Brush~"

Flames flickered in Yao Yan's palm, transforming into a golden, blazing blade. With a gentle wave of his hand, a fiery blade several meters long shot out, slashing at the surrounding frost wolves. It was incredibly fast; the frost wolves had no time to dodge, and in an instant, three frost wolves were severed, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.

At the same time, his body also moved.

Flames rose from his ankles, like a fire dragon slapping the ground with its tail, and the burst of power sent him shooting out.

Intermediate Xuan-level movement technique - Dragon's Roar

By borrowing the explosive power of fire-attribute battle qi, one can generate dragon-like speed. Upon mastering this skill, one can briefly walk on air.

At this moment, Yao Yan's face was devoid of smiles, his expression icy cold. His body was covered in illusory golden fire, and he used the Fiery Blade to condense a defensive shield. Even though his physical defense was extremely strong, he did not like to confront things head-on with his body. Most importantly, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. When fighting an enemy, why hold back? Going all out is the way to go.

The Frost Wolf King's pupils contracted as Yao Yan's figure was already in front of it. In its haste, it could only barely open its mouth and try to force Yao Yan back with a breath of extreme cold.

Unfortunately, he was too slow. Yao Yan punched him in the mouth with an uppercut, the violent force making his head buzz and causing him to become dizzy. He swallowed the cold air in his mouth, feeling the pain.

"boom!"

He took half a step forward, grabbed the Frost Wolf King by the neck, and delivered a vicious over-the-shoulder throw. The violent force directly shattered the earth, and the air surged.

Yao Yan, having gained the upper hand, did not let the wolf off the hook. He punched the still dizzy Frost Wolf King again, this time on the head. His fist, enveloped by the Fiery Blade, pounded down again and again with extremely violent force, creating a visually striking impact. The ground trembled continuously, and smoke billowed around it.

After seven or eight blows, Yao Yan stopped, because he had smashed the Frost Wolf King's head open, exposing its brain matter and the magic core inside.

"Boring."

Yao Yan took out the magic core, glanced at the second-tier frost wolves around him with their tails tucked between their legs, and muttered to himself.

He then bent down, took the largest fang from the Frost Wolf King, and turned to leave.

Above mid-air.

The herb farmer watched this scene calmly, remaining silent.

Chapter 17 Happy Birthday

For Yao Yan, the revenge wolf king was just a minor incident in his daily life, but after venting his frustrations, he released a lot of the suppressed emotions in his heart.

In a world devoid of entertainment, violence seems to be the only outlet for venting frustration.

In the past, he was just a lowly Karami, and even the low-level magical beasts of Shennong Mountain could chase him away. Yao Yan didn't even have the qualifications to confront them head-on. But now, he has a certain ability to protect himself, and at least he won't only have the idea of ​​running away when he encounters low-level magical beasts.

The power of the fantasy world is just like money in the modern world.

When you possess a certain amount of it, you will have the confidence and strength to live a fulfilling life.

Half a month's time.

Yao Yan toiled every day to stimulate his body's Qi and blood, using this to cultivate the Earth-rank advanced combat skill, the Vajra Indestructible Body. He successfully mastered it, reaching the first level of minor completion. Once activated, his skin would turn bluish-yellow, and his strength and defense would increase dramatically.

Fighting the wolf pack is also a way to test one's own strength.

Yao Yan estimated that at this moment, he had reached the first level of the Vajra Indestructible Body, and with his physical body alone, he was capable of fighting a Dou Ling level opponent head-on. Unless the opponent possessed some powerful fighting technique, they wouldn't even be able to break through his defenses.

This is a benchmark for all Battle Spirit levels.

Whether it's a one-star or nine-star Dou Ling, as long as the power level doesn't undergo a qualitative change, it's unlikely to pose much of a threat to him.

After all, the Vajra Indestructible Body is of a high level; the first level corresponds to the Battle King, or even the Battle Emperor.

The second level corresponds to the Dou Zong, who controls the power of space.

The third level can even fight against a Dou Zun.

The difference is obvious; it truly lives up to its reputation as a high-level Earth-rank body-refining combat technique—it's terrifying.

……

Return to the waterfall cave.

Yao Yan first washed himself up, soaked in the hot King Kong Fruit juice, took a Grade 5 Body Tempering Pill, and let the medicinal power of the two drugs seep into his body. He could calmly accept the soreness, numbness, and tingling in his body. Compared to the bloodline modification that Hun Xuzi had done to him three years ago, this pain was nothing.

Just as Hun Xuzi said, if you want to become stronger, how can you do it without giving anything in return? There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

There are no shortcuts to becoming stronger.

Every shortcut carries enormous risks, just like gambling. However, gambling involves betting money, while the path of cultivation involves betting one's life.

"These fangs are quite nice, snow-white, and they even have a built-in freezing effect. I won't have to worry about the heat in the summer if I wear them."

Yao Yan leaned against the edge of the bathtub, examining the haul in his hands.

The Frost Wolf King's fangs were quite large, requiring Yao Yan to hold them in his hand. They were about the size of his palm, snow-white in color, and extremely cold, radiating a chilling aura. If it weren't for his strong physique, an ordinary person holding them would probably have frozen stiff.

In addition, there is an ice-blue magic core.

The third-tier Frost Wolf King is considered one of the best among third-tier magical beasts, and its most crucial attribute naturally possesses some special properties.

thought for a moment.

Yao Yan then directly covered the Frost Wolf King's fangs with Illusory Gold Fire. He planned to refine an ornament, a decision he had made when he escaped that day.

People should always leave something behind in their lives so that they can look back on it more interestingly in the future.

"Whoo~"

The golden flames radiated intense heat, instantly melting the Frost Wolf King's fangs. In a short time, the impurities within were refined into nothingness, transforming under Yao Yan's control into a delicate and exquisite jade-colored jade ornament. At its center was inlaid a Frost Wolf King's magic core, giving the jade ornament a touch of azure and making it appear even more advanced.

"It's done."

Yao Yan looked at the Wolf King Jade he had crafted and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Compared to refining elixirs, refining this little thing is not difficult at all, and no special techniques are required. You just need to preserve its original essence.

He then took out a thin rope from his storage ring, threaded it through the Wolf King Jade Pendant, and hung it around his neck. Looking at the pendant, he murmured to himself, "Yaoyan, happy birthday!"

Today is Yao Yan's fifteenth birthday, and this is a gift he gave himself.

If others don't love you, then love yourself.

For once, Yao Yan let her mind go blank. She lay lazily in the bathtub, looking up at the cave ceiling, letting memories flood her mind. Images from her past life and this life flashed through her mind like slides.

At this moment, the spiritual crystal within the soul was like the most dazzling light, illuminating everything.

Unconsciously.

He slowly fell asleep.

However, his body was still immersed in the juice of the Diamond Fruit, releasing medicinal power along with the Rank 5 Body Tempering Pill that had not yet been fully refined within him, transforming the boy's body and unleashing its potential at an extremely terrifying speed.

As the boy breathed smoothly, the energy of heaven and earth slowly gathered, transforming into wisps of mist that flowed into his body with each breath.

The bones inside his body shimmered with a jade-like hue, making his skeleton appear as if it were made of jade. However, these jade-like bones were interspersed with strange black and red patterns, which slowly shimmered with a halo, exuding an extremely sinister aura.

. . . . . . . .

The Shennong Mountains are a vast mountain range inhabited by magical beasts. It was named Shennong because of the Medicine Clan. Many sects have been established there, and some have even close ties with the Medicine Clan. As a result, there are no shortage of human cities in the Shennong Mountains, and you can even see high-level magical beasts there.

Most members of the magical beast race can transform into human form after reaching the seventh rank. In addition, they can also transform into human form through a seventh-grade transformation pill.

Transformation pills have even become an essential medicine for some large magical beast families, used to cultivate their descendants.

Compared to the cultivation talent of magical beast bodies, the cultivation talent of human bodies is obviously higher. Therefore, most magical beast families are willing to let their descendants consume transformation pills to transform into human form. This makes it easier to travel in human territory and even join human sects to learn human knowledge.

Given the long lifespan of monsters, it's only a matter of time before they become top-tier powerhouses.

After all, it's just a pig. After cultivating for thousands of years, it can become one of the top beings on the continent. This has nothing to do with talent.

Therefore, many large magical beast families have befriended the Medicine Clan, and some have even taken the initiative to join them. After all, the Medicine Clan has the most alchemists in the world and also controls the vast Shennong Mountain Range. Compared with them, the Pill Tower of Zhongzhou seems much inferior.

On this day, Yao Yan also arrived at a city, Shennong City.

Chapter 18 Little Green Fox

The autumn wind carried a chill, and the withered leaves on the branches along the way swayed as if performing their final dance.

Yao Yan stood under a withered tree, gazing at the vast city in the distance. He lowered his head and pondered a question: should he go in, and should he find a way to escape Hun Xuzi's control? No one doesn't yearn for freedom. Rather than always being Hun Xuzi's grandson, he preferred to see the world on his own.

Well, now that he has some power, he's gotten a bit arrogant.

He had to admit this, and at the same time, he longed for the outside world. He really wanted to see this world, to see the people in the original work... well, not someone like Hun Xuzi.

Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

Given Hun Xuzi's strength and status, Yao Yan is currently not qualified to escape his control. In fact, if he goes too far, his current personality may be destroyed. He has no doubt about Hun Xuzi's ruthlessness. How could someone who can kill his master really care about a disciple, especially one who is an experimental subject?
