New Reward

Because.

Li Xuan had been brought back by Jiang Zhu, so she was bound to know some inside information.

Everyone gathered around her and began asking questions, curiously pestering her without end.

"I-I don't know what happened either, but Little Brother Li Xuan said he was a noble and that someone had come to pick him up. Maybe a powerful Soul Master scared off the White Wolf King," Jiang Zhu said softly.

"So that's how it is. No wonder, no wonder."

At the thought of a powerful Soul Master, everyone instantly understood. If a powerful Soul Master had been there, everything made sense.

However.

Huang Yuan and Jing Ling were somewhat unconvinced. Even Jiang Zhu herself found it hard to believe.

Soul Beasts had always been savage. Even when encountering a powerful Soul Master, they should not have been frightened into such a state.

But what had just happened was simply too abnormal, so Jiang Zhu and the others could only use this explanation to account for everything.

Of course.

Jiang Zhu had not forgotten Li Xuan's words—the blueprint he had left for her was also a tool for creating wealth.

Elsewhere.

In the endless fields.

Li Xuan ran swiftly on his little legs, chasing after the White Wolf King at high speed. Naturally, the White Wolf King was much faster than him, and Li Xuan could not possibly catch up. But his goal was to leave the area inhabited by humans.

In other words, once Li Xuan reached an uninhabited area, he would transform into Hulk, catch up to the White Wolf King, and give it a vicious beating.

Ding! Congratulations on completing the second wave of the wolf pack repulsion mission. Reward: Mysterious Heaven Skill.

As the mechanical voice rang out, a massive amount of information flooded into Li Xuan's mind. It contained every cultivation method and pathway of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

It could be said that Li Xuan had completely mastered the Mysterious Heaven Skill in an instant. Yet instead of smiling with joy, he wore a thoughtful expression, because the second wolf pack mission had been far too easy in his eyes, practically a free gift.

This made Li Xuan suspect that the system surely had better cultivation techniques. After all, the White Wolf King had run the moment it saw him; he could complete this mission easily without doing anything at all.

Besides.

The system had just issued the mission to beat up the White Wolf King. To Li Xuan, it seemed more like it was trying to send him to Holy Soul Village. Clearly, the system was eager to obtain energy from Tang San.

"Wait."

Li Xuan suddenly felt that something was off. Logically speaking, beating up the White Wolf King should not have earned a reward on the level of an Experience Card, since it was not some major mission.

Filled with doubt, Li Xuan asked, "System, why is this reward so generous?"

Ding! Notice: You obtained two spirit bones and indirectly set Tang San up, allowing the system to obtain considerable energy. The rewards have been issued to you together.

"So that's how it is."

Li Xuan came to a realization as he thought of those two extremely precious spirit bones. A glint flashed through his violet eyes as he vaguely came up with more ways to set Tang San up.

But there was no rush. He would beat up the White Wolf King first, since there was still a reward waiting for him.

With that in mind, Li Xuan looked around. Once he confirmed that he had left the area of human activity, he immediately stored his clothes in Natural Space and activated the Hulk Experience Card without hesitation.

Roar!!

A heaven-shaking roar echoed in every direction, startling away a large flock of birds.

Li Xuan's body swelled like an inflating balloon. In an instant, he changed from a child into the enormous Hulk, then charged into the distance on thick, powerful legs.

Up ahead, several miles away.

The White Wolf King ran for its life. Empowered by its wind-element ability, it sped onward swiftly, as elusive and fast as the wind.

After running a great distance and seeing that the small figure was no longer behind it, the White Wolf King finally let out a breath of relief. Confidence returned to its eyes.

Its panicked expression gradually vanished, and the kingly bearing of the White Wolf King returned.

Then.

Just as it was about to choose a direction, a series of thudding sounds suddenly came from behind it.

The sounds were dull and forceful, as though an immensely heavy object were striking the ground. They were steady and rhythmic.

But as the sounds grew closer and louder, the White Wolf King's body suddenly stiffened, and terror slowly filled its eyes.

Its wind-element ability surged forth once again. The White Wolf King took off like a rabbit, running desperately for its life.

Boom! A thunderous crash rang out as a terrifying green figure descended from the sky. Carrying overwhelming force, it smashed down hard in front of the White Wolf King, cracking the earth and sending out a powerful shockwave.

Awoo~ The White Wolf King was terrified out of its wits. It let out a whimper and tried to beg for mercy, but it was already too late.

A large green hand suddenly grabbed its tail.

Boom boom boom boom boom! The ground roared and crumbled apart. Countless fragments of stone were flung in every direction, kicking up clouds of dust.

Amid the thunderous impacts and dizzying spins, the White Wolf King began making intimate contact with the ground—from every possible angle.

It never wanted to experience such intimate contact again. It hurt far too much. Its face was nearly smashed crooked, blood poured from its nose, and it no longer even looked like a wolf.

By the time the smashing finally stopped, the White Wolf King was lying on the ground at death's door, taking more breaths out than in.

"Eh? I think I hit it a little too hard."

Looking at the White Wolf King, which was nearly dead from the beating, Li Xuan hurriedly set it down and checked it over. Only after confirming that it could still recover did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"So weak. I only smashed it a few times, and it nearly died. It's nowhere near a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast," Li Xuan muttered. He tossed the White Wolf King into Natural Space, then sprinted off into the distance.

Hearing this, the White Wolf King nearly died of anger. It was only a lowly Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast; how could it possibly compare to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Besides, it excelled at offense rather than defense. How could it match the terrifying resilience of those Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts?

Thus, the White Wolf King was filled with resentment. It lay dejectedly in Natural Space, staring sorrowfully at the green earth as it cried without moving, silently lamenting its miserable fate.

Ding! Advanced option completed: beat up the White Wolf King. Reward: one Hulk Experience Card.

The mechanical system voice suddenly rang out, causing Li Xuan, who was still running, to rub his chin.

One condition of this mission had required him to ride the White Wolf King into Holy Soul Village. Yet the system had counted the mission as complete now, which clearly meant it would not matter if he rode the White Wolf King into Holy Soul Village later.

Therefore.

Li Xuan began leaping wildly, continuously making his way toward Holy Soul Village.

Hulk's terrifying jumping ability was simply beyond imagination.

His figure began bouncing crazily through the air, leaping again and again while the Experience Card's duration lasted.

When his final leap came to a stop, Li Xuan had already landed in a new, unfamiliar area.

"Where is this?"

Li Xuan was baffled, because he realized that he was lost again. His terrible sense of direction always sent him down the wrong path.

With a sigh, Li Xuan could only take out a map from Bibi Dong's Space Ring and examine it.

But then, he suddenly remembered that Hulk's transformation time had ended. I wonder what reward I'll get after this experience? I'm really looking forward to it.

Ding! Experience complete. Obtained 5% Super Stamina.

Bibi Dong, a five-year-old little girl who looked like a porcelain doll, puffed out her fair, tender cheeks and said sweetly, "This is a robbery. Le-leave your monthly votes behind!"
