Chapter 733: Just Warm-up

Wang Yuanming’s occasional distractions made Luo Yan and Jin Wen fight more bravely. Ye Feng had thought that the sixth-level powerhouse would go all out right from the start to end the battle quickly. But later, he noticed that the guy kept glancing at him and even smiling foolishly, making him doubt if the guy was mentally unstable.

Wang Yuanming’s underestimation soon cost him dearly. He had assumed that even though these two had abilities comparable to his own, he still had unparalleled advantages in physical strength, speed, and true energy.

But gradually, he realized that Luo Yan and Jin Wen were getting used to the rhythm of battle. Attacks that couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes now managed to hit him time after time.

Although they didn’t cause any damage, it was a humiliation for him.

He finally started to take it seriously.

By this point, Luo Yan and Jin Wen also realized the real gap between them. Their full-force attacks failed to hurt their opponent at all, which drove them crazy.

Luo Yan’s pupils quickly turned black, and his aura surged by more than ten times, only slightly weaker than that of a fifth-level powerhouse.

Jin Wen also abandoned his human form and transformed into a semi-beast state, his aura increasing by more than ten times as well. His beast-like eyes, fixed on his prey, stared intently at Wang Yuanming.

This was within Ye Feng’s expectations. He had let them fight because they possessed advantages that ordinary people couldn’t match. Otherwise, even tens of thousands of third-level powerhouses wouldn’t be able to shake a sixth-level powerhouse at all.

Xue Hai, standing nearby, showed a hint of interest in his gaze. “Xuanmu Emperor Corpse, Chaos Beast… My master really has some remarkable people around him. If nothing goes wrong, both of these bloodlines can evolve into ninth-level powerhouses. With further progress, they might even reach the realm of tenth-level powerhouses.”

“Xue Hai,” Ye Feng also noticed Xue Hai’s gaze occasionally sweeping over him and casually asked, “What do you think of this battle?”

“If this goes on for a long time, that Level 6 guy will definitely lose. If he wants to win, he must go all out,” Xue Hai concluded. “Both the Dark-Eyed Emperor Corpse and the Chaos Beast possess terrifying potential. Moreover, the Chaos Beast hasn’t revealed its true form yet; if it does, its strength will likely increase by nearly ten times. Every Chaos Beast also has terrifying innate abilities, and it hasn’t shown its best yet. As for the Dark-Eyed Emperor Corpse, from what I know about Xue Wuya—although he’s only a peak Level 9 warrior with strength comparable to mine—he’s still a formidable opponent who can fight against Level 10 warriors. His bloodline power is terrifyingly strong, and he can fully utilize it. Additionally, the Dark-Eyed Emperor Corpse can undergo triple enhancement. And right now, he isn’t in his full zombie state. Luo Yan’s ultimate strength could be ten thousand times greater than what he shows now, but he can’t use that move easily.”

Ye Feng didn’t know Luo Yan this well either. After hearing Xue Hai’s explanation, he realized Luo Yan had such potential.

“By the way, although I can tell that Jin Wen is a Chaos Beast, I’ve never seen its true form and don’t know its rank. What rank is it?” Xue Hai asked Ye Feng.

“It’s a King-class,” Ye Feng replied with a smile.

“A King-class!” Xue Hai couldn’t help but exclaim in shock. “A King-class Chaos Beast, if it doesn’t perish, can evolve to the level of a Level 10 warrior! Years ago on the battlefield, there was also a King-class Chaos Beast at the Level 10 warrior level. Our several clans combined four peak Level 10 warriors to kill it, at the cost of one death and three serious injuries. The one who died was the strongest among the four peak warriors—a clan leader from the Devouring Clan.”

“What race was that Chaos Beast?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask.

“It was a Chaos Giant Dragon, a super monster hundreds of light-years long. Even peak Level 9 warriors couldn’t get close to it. Our full-force attacks couldn’t even penetrate its protective aura,” Xue Hai said, looking up as if recalling those days. “Back then, that dragon’s strength was even greater than that of the Heavenly Dao.”

Ye Feng frowned slightly. Logically, such a powerful being shouldn’t perish so easily, as there are countless ways to survive. But the tactics of extraterrestrial warriors are also hard to predict, so it’s not surprising if they do perish, considering the huge cost involved.

“Master, with your potential, you’ll eventually have to go to the Domain River battlefield,” Xue Hai suddenly changed the topic. “I only hope that if you encounter my Blood Demon clan, you won’t exterminate us completely.”

“I’ll do my best,” Ye Feng nodded. The thought of fighting against powerful beings from other realms filled him with excitement.
“However, according to the Immortal, you can indeed raise your bloodline rank and cultivation level by absorbing the strength of our clan’s powerful ones,” the Blood Demon suddenly said. “We vampires do have the ability to survive—as long as we don’t destroy their avatars. If you want to raise your bloodline rank now, it would take absorbing a Blood Demon of the fifth-tier to be effective.”
While the two were talking, the battle between Luo Yan and Jin Wen against Wang Yuanming had already become quite interesting. Ye Feng and Blood Sea also turned their attention there.
After initially boosting their strength, although they were still not strong enough to confront Wang Yuanming head-on, their coordination was excellent. Whenever one of them was sent flying by his attack, the other would immediately step in to cover for them.
By this point, Wang Yuanming finally realized how tough these two were. Though their strength was still inferior to his, it was difficult for him to deal significant damage to them. Each time they were injured, they would retreat, with the other immediately stopping him from pursuing. Yet in just a few moments, they could recover fully. Fortunately, their attack power still couldn’t cause him much harm.
Their attacks had struck his body several times, but only left minor scratches, which gave him some relief.
Before long, Jin Wen voluntarily stepped back from the battle circle and laughed loudly, “The warm-up is over. We now have a rough idea of your defensive limits.”
“Warm-up?!” Wang Yuanming was stunned. “Are you just bluffing?”
But he soon realized he was wrong, as Jin Wen’s body changed again—his long tail appeared as well. His streamlined body, sharp claws and fangs, terrifying long tail, and wild gaze all made Wang Yuanming feel uneasy.
“In my human form, my strength is about ninety times that of an ordinary third-tier warrior. When half-transformed into an beast, my strength increases tenfold. Once fully transformed, it increases another tenfold on top of that. In this state now, my strength is comparable to that of an early sixth-tier warrior. I wonder if you’re worthy of me entering my berserk state.” Jin Wen’s voice echoed softly. Even in his true form, he still spoke in human language, but his vocal organs had changed, giving his voice a strange tone.
