"This Black-striped Poisonous Python is about to break through to Lord-level. Its materials should sell for four to five hundred million Huaxia currency..."

Without any hesitation, Yue Ming drew the battle sword from his waist. With a leap, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and he shot up into the sky, covering a distance of dozens of meters. With a rumble, he landed on the rooftop.

"Hiss hiss~~"

The Black-striped Poisonous Python's two massive heads, with their pair of cold, serpentine eyes, stared at Yue Ming. Its body coiled and twisted, its neck held high, its triangular head flicking its forked tongue in and out.

The moment Yue Ming landed, the Black-striped Poisonous Python launched its attack. It opened its gaping maw and lunged forward, one head biting at Yue Ming while the other spat out deep green venom.

Despite the Black-striped Poisonous Python's enormous size, its reaction speed was not slow at all. Its most fearsome weapon was its venom, a terrifying neurotoxin that even War God level martial artists dared not touch.

"Seeking death!"

Facing the Black-striped Poisonous Python's assault, Yue Ming's expression was calm. While the python's speed was fast, it depended on who it was compared to. As a peak High-level War God, Yue Ming's strength, speed, and reaction time far surpassed the Black-striped Poisonous Python's.

The instant the Black-striped Poisonous Python closed in, Yue Ming's body flickered. He sidestepped and dodged to the side, thrusting his battle sword forward. It instantly pierced the Black-striped Poisonous Python's eye. Before the python could retaliate, he had already retreated a hundred meters.

"Hiss~"

The Black-striped Poisonous Python roared in anger. Its severely injured eye sent it into a frenzy. It thrashed violently on the rooftop, its immense power causing the entire residential building to shake as if it would collapse at any moment.

The Black-striped Poisonous Python roared madly. Its tail, as thick as a person's waist, whipped towards Yue Ming like a terrifyingly powerful, lightning-fast whip.

Yue Ming's gaze locked onto the Black-striped Poisonous Python. While sidestepping and dodging, he swung his battle sword again, like a cold, fleeting afterimage.

The Black-striped Poisonous Python's scales, as hard as iron, were sliced open as if they were paper. One of its heads was severed by the sword, and blood sprayed out like a fountain.

Before the Black-striped Poisonous Python could make a dying counterattack, Yue Ming swung his sword again, severing the other head. The Black-striped Poisonous Python's massive body crashed to the ground with a thud.

Looking at the Black-striped Poisonous Python's corpse, Yue Ming calmly began to dissect it. The python's body was too large to take back entirely. Yue Ming only took the gall bladder, eyes, venom sac, and other valuable materials.

Over the next ten-plus days, Yue Ming embarked on a frenzied hunting spree in the outskirts of City 003, killing hundreds of monsters every day.

During this time, he encountered six Lord-level monsters, one of which was High-level Lord-level. Yue Ming expended a great deal of effort to defeat it.

The main issue was that Yue Ming's equipment was of too low a grade to break through the defenses of Lord-level monsters. Fighting bare-handed naturally made it difficult to kill a High-level Lord-level monster.

Fortunately, Yue Ming was a peak High-level War God with 3 times his gene multiplier. He relied on his overwhelming strength to defeat the High-level Lord-level monster.

If it were another peak High-level War God without equipment, they might not have been able to deal with a High-level Lord-level monster.

"It's time to head back!"

On top of a dusty, dilapidated residential building, Yue Ming calmly looked down. Below, dry bloodstains were visible everywhere, along with scattered remains.

After nearly half a month of intense combat, Yue Ming's demeanor had completely changed. He had thoroughly adapted to life in the wilderness.

At the same time, his backpack was already full of materials from High-level Beast General monsters and above. It was preliminarily estimated to be worth at least forty billion.

This was why Yue Ming was in such a hurry to return; his backpack was simply too full, and he needed to go back to process the monster materials.

Level: Apprentice Ninth Tier (First Tier) Realm: Perfected Swordplay, Perfected Movement Technique Gene Multiplier: 3x Force Generation: 3x Secret Technique: None

Furthermore, Yue Ming discovered that his comprehension was exceptionally good. In less than half a month, his swordplay and movement technique had both broken through.

Yue Ming had a vague suspicion that his excellent comprehension might be related to the fusion of two souls when he transmigrated.

Moreover, the previous owner's comprehension was already very good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate the Shadow Stream Swordplay to its peak and achieve a 3x force generation with the strength of a Beginner Warlord.

It took Yue Ming about six days to finally return to Jiangnan Base City. The journey was naturally not as fast as his arrival, mainly because he was carrying a pile of monster materials.

Upon returning to Jiangnan Base City, Yue Ming headed straight for the Underground Alliance, intending to sell the large batch of monster materials he had brought back.

"Materials from sixty-seven High-level Beast Generals are worth 20.7 billion. Materials from five Low-level Lord-level monsters are worth 6.3 billion. The materials from the last High-level Lord-level monster are worth 15 billion. The total is 42 billion..."

"Transfer the money to the bearer account at Swiss International Bank..."

Instead of selling the monster materials at a formal shop, Yue Ming went to a black market-like place and found a buyer with a good reputation.

The advantage was that they didn't ask about his identity or the origin of the monster materials. The disadvantage was the risk of being robbed and killed, so it had its pros and cons!

After the transaction was successfully completed, Yue Ming left the Underground Alliance. He sensed carefully and found no one following him.

"It seems they are quite decent. I can continue to find them next time..."

Although Yue Ming wasn't afraid of being robbed, with his current strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was invincible below the Planetary level.

Furthermore, Yue Ming didn't plan to return to South Bank Residential Area. South Bank Residential Area was just a place where the previous owner temporarily stayed to recover from his injuries. Since he wasn't lacking money now, he decided to find a hotel to stay in.

After finding a decent hotel, Yue Ming booked a luxurious suite, took a comfortable bath, and prepared to get a good night's sleep.

He had been fighting in the wilderness for half a month and hadn't had a proper rest. He slept for a full day and night.

When Yue Ming opened his eyes, it was already the evening of the next day. The first thing he did after waking up was to open his combat communication watch and transfer all the money from the bearer account to his own.

Then, he anonymously transferred one billion to the orphanage. The previous owner's parents had died early, and he had grown up in an orphanage. Since he had inherited everything from the previous owner, this money was a way to repay the orphanage for raising him.

After a moment of thought, Yue Ming anonymously transferred ten billion to each of the families of the previous owner's deceased teammates. This money was enough for the orphans of his teammates to live a prosperous life. It was all he could do.

"The past is in the past now!"

After doing all this, for some reason, Yue Ming felt an inexplicable sense of relief, as if an invisible burden on his shoulders had been completely lifted, making him feel light all over.
