Let You Defend Yourself Once!

A nameless fury suddenly surged up from the depths of Greedy Wolf's heart.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you?"

Greedy Wolf stepped forward, his burly body nearly pressing against Yang Yu's face. Lowering his voice, he said viciously, "Do you know what price you'll have to pay for cutting down one of my men?"

The hundred-plus battle group members behind him pressed forward as well. Weapons clashed, Killing Intent soared into the sky, and a terrifying pressure formed—enough to make any ordinary Professioner's legs go weak on the spot.

Yet Yang Yu merely tilted his head, his tone as calm as if he were asking about the weather.

"Oh? What do you want?"

That indifferent attitude completely enraged Greedy Wolf.

With a sinister grin, he raised three fingers and said word by word, "First, hand over that Wild Boar Helmet and that armor you're wearing!"

He did not know that Yang Yu was wearing three pieces of the set.

Because the Ring of the Wild Boar King could only drop in a Nightmare Dungeon.

And even an all-A-rank Professioner team needed to be at least Level 20 to clear that Nightmare Dungeon, and they would have to pay a tremendous price.

So there were currently only three set pieces available on the market.

"Second, compensate us one million! Cash! That's for my brother's medical expenses and our mental damages!"

"Third..." Greedy Wolf's gaze became incomparably venomous. "Break one of your own arms and apologize to my brother!"

"If you do those three things, I can show some mercy and consider... sparing your dog life."

Behind him, Wang Jie's eyes gleamed with excitement.

His stupid older brother had taken the bait.

Would he finally get the three-piece set?

Yang Yu understood at once.

So they were after the Wild Boar King Set?

His gaze passed over Greedy Wolf's shoulder and landed precisely on a skinny young man not far behind him.

A pair of bracers was worn on that young man's wrists. Their material and style were exactly the same as Yang Yu's equipment!

The Wild Boar King's Bracers!

The final piece of the set!

A huge wave of delight instantly flooded Yang Yu's heart.

He had originally planned to try his luck at the Trading Market after returning to the city, hoping to buy the final piece.

Well, this was perfect. He had searched everywhere without success, only for it to fall right into his lap!

And this idiot named Greedy Wolf apparently did not know quality when he saw it.

Yang Yu was clearly wearing three set pieces, yet he had only recognized two.

It seemed this ring of his was quite valuable after all!

Yang Yu forcibly suppressed the wild joy in his heart. Beneath the mask, the corner of his lips curved into a cold smile.

In a teasing tone, he asked, "And why should I?"

Greedy Wolf seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He lowered his fingers, pointed at himself, then at the dark mass of people behind him, and finally at Yang Yu.

"Because we have more people!"

"Because I'm stronger than you!"

"In this world, the strong can do whatever they want!"

The strong could do whatever they wanted?

That really was the style one would expect from a world filled with Supernatural Power.

Beneath the mask, Yang Yu smiled soundlessly.

But...

If that was the case, then that was wonderful.

"Stop!"

A cool, sharp cry rang out. Leng Yuan strode forward and stood between Yang Yu and Greedy Wolf.

"Greedy Wolf! Robbing and extorting people in public right in front of our Professioner Association—does your Greedy Wolf Battle Group want to be placed on the City-wide Wanted List?"

Her phoenix-like eyes stared fixedly at Yang Yu—or rather, at the Ferocious Mask on his face.

It was him!

It had to be him!

Surrounded by more than a hundred people and facing Greedy Wolf's brazen threats, he could remain so calm, even... somewhat amused.

That bearing, that gaze—it perfectly matched the image in her mind of a strong man tempered through blood and fire!

Yang Yu was also taken aback. He had not expected those two officials to show up again.

Still, these two were indeed decent people.

Even though the Greedy Wolf Battle Group had overwhelming numbers, they still dared to stand up for a complete stranger like him.

Such a sense of justice was truly rare in this Law of the Jungle world.

When Greedy Wolf saw Leng Yuan interfere again, the impatience on his face was no longer concealed.

"Captain Leng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I'm demanding compensation from the perpetrator. That's only natural. How can you call it robbery?"

"You..." Leng Yuan was speechless with anger.

Greedy Wolf was about to continue using his twisted logic to make trouble.

But Yang Yu lightly patted Leng Yuan on the shoulder, signaling for her to step back.

He said to Leng Yuan, "All right, I appreciate your kindness."

He paused, his gaze passing over Leng Yuan and falling once more on Greedy Wolf's greed-filled face.

"But compared to compensation, I'm more interested in something else."

The noisy scene instantly fell silent because of his words.

Everyone's eyes focused on him.

Then, in a tone so calm it was almost eerie, he slowly asked:

"That is... if I kill them here, would it count as self-defense?"

The moment those words came out, the entire crowd erupted!

"Is he insane? He wants to kill over a hundred of Greedy Wolf's men by himself?"

"Is something wrong with this guy's head? He's way too arrogant! Who does he think he is?"

"It's over, it's over. There's no room left for reconciliation now. Greedy Wolf won't rest until he tears him to pieces!"

"What a pity. A genius capable of soloing a Normal Grade Dungeon is going to die here today."

The surrounding professionals immediately broke into discussion. Their looks toward Yang Yu changed from sympathy to the disbelief one would show a madman.

They had absolutely no faith in Yang Yu.

To them, this was no longer arrogance. It was simply courting death.

The determined expression on Leng Yuan's face also turned into astonishment in an instant.

She had never expected the calm, steady strong man in her mind to say something so insane.

But the astonishment on her face was swiftly replaced by deep concern.

She knew this person was very strong, capable of training Basic Skills to an unimaginable level.

But...

He was facing over a hundred well-equipped professionals who coordinated seamlessly!

Professionals were not brainless monsters!

Everyone had their own unique skills and combat styles. A properly formed four-man team could sometimes even defeat a powerful boss through Level-transcending combat.

What stood before them now was not a four-man team, but a large battle group with more than a hundred people!

And by saying that, he had completely cut off every path of retreat.

There was no room left for reconciliation at all!

Leng Yuan could not help sighing inwardly.

In the end, he was still too young and hot-blooded.

On the other side, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Greedy Wolf was so furious that he laughed.

Even the muscles on his face began to twist.

"Hahaha! Hahahahaha! Self-defense? Kid, do you think we're playing house?"

He stopped laughing and stared at Yang Yu as if looking at a dead man.

"Fine! Very fine! Since you're so arrogant, I'll grant your wish and let you defend yourself once!"

He abruptly stepped back, violently swung his arm downward, and let out a hysterical roar.

"Everyone! Get him!"

"Blast this brat who doesn't know his place into pulp!!!"

The instant the order was given, Yang Yu moved.

Instead of retreating, he stepped forward and gripped the hilt of the Bloodstained Longsword on his back with his right hand.

"Buzz!"

The longsword slid half an inch from its sheath, releasing a clear sword cry.

An invisible aura erupted violently from his body!

Iron Will!

Bloodthirsty Battle Intent!

A heavy Invisible Shield enveloped his entire body. At the same time, 7% of the blood in his body instantly burned, transforming into Burning Power that surged through his limbs and bones!

Leng Yuan, who had retreated to the side, suddenly narrowed her eyes!

That sword!

She had seen it before!

She had seen it on that student named Yang Yu!

An absurd thought, one so unbelievable that even she could not accept it herself, flashed through her mind like lightning.

Could it be...

Could the person who had trained Blade Draw and War Cry to that Godly Realm be the student she had thought was a clueless rookie?

The mysterious strong man before her, wearing a mask and radiating overwhelming power, slowly began to overlap in her mind with that seemingly dull student.

Impossible!

Leng Yuan shook her head hard, trying to throw away that crazy thought.

He was just a student who had only completed his Class Change today! How could he have trained his skills to that level in just a few hours?

It had to be a coincidence! Yes, just a coincidence!

"Sister Leng Yuan, there's nothing we can do now!"

Lu Fei came to her side. Looking at the battlefield on the verge of erupting, his face was full of helplessness. "We originally wanted to help him, but he himself..."

Leng Yuan did not answer Lu Fei. All of her attention was locked firmly onto Yang Yu in the center of the field.
