Hero Saves the Beauty

For two days straight, the viewers in the Live Stream Room had been waiting for Yi Chen to grow unable to bear the loneliness of solitude, start talking to himself, and recite the cultivation mantra for the Flying Knife Art.

Unfortunately, he did not.

In the Great Mountain that stretched for thousands of miles.

Peaks rose one after another.

The roars of beasts drifted faintly through the air.

Yi Chen moved cautiously through the mountain forest, alone and lonely.

Until faint roars and angry shouts reached his ears.

His spirits immediately lifted.

The roaring clearly came from a Ferocious Beast.

But the angry shouts sounded like a human voice.

He took out several Thorn Fruits and held them in his hand.

Then he followed the sounds.

Before long, he arrived at a Small Woods.

A little farther ahead, he vaguely saw a burly woman dressed in animal hides, gripping a short knife.

She was fighting a giant wild boar three meters tall, its body drenched in blood and a single horn growing from its head.

Though the giant boar was wounded, it still looked full of vigor.

The burly woman, on the other hand, was panting heavily and was clearly running out of strength.

"It's happening, it's happening! The chance for a hero to save the beauty is here! I specifically looked up information on Exile Planet. That's a Level 5 Ferocious Beast, a Unicorn Boar. In that beauty's current state, there's no way she can beat it."

"Damn, what kind of eyes do you have? That's a beauty?"

"What do you know! Because their living environment is different, the people of Exile Planet have different standards of beauty. Burly, muscular women with rough, dark skin are the real beauties."

"This woman is two meters tall, powerfully built, with muscles practically bursting with strength. And everything that should be big is extraordinarily big."

"Even exhausted, she's still agile and has incredible endurance. Throughout all of Exile Planet, she's the kind of peerless beauty who has both looks and strength."

With some excitement finally to watch, all the viewers in the Live Stream Room became fired up.

They waited for Yi Chen to make his move and save this peerless beauty of Exile Planet with the Flying Knife Art.

In the Small Woods.

Yi Chen did not make a move.

He hid behind the trunk of a large tree, quietly observing the situation.

As fellow members of the Human Race, he would definitely save her.

But he wanted to fight for the greatest possible benefit.

He did not know the way to the Green Grass Tribe. Now that he had finally encountered another human, he naturally needed to first infiltrate this human Tribe and find a way to become its Tribal Chief.

Judging from the strength this burly woman had displayed, as well as her iron short knife, he could tell that her status within the Tribe was definitely among the highest.

Otherwise, she would not be qualified to use an iron weapon.

Saving her when she was in despair would undoubtedly earn more gratitude than saving her while she still had strength left to fight.

And so he waited for half an hour.

The burly woman's tenacity somewhat exceeded Yi Chen's expectations.

Though she was at a disadvantage and utterly exhausted, she kept gritting her teeth, using the cover of the large trees again and again to evade the Unicorn Boar's attacks.

She even managed to seize opportunities to slash the Unicorn Boar with her knife, leaving bloody marks on its body.

But a gap in strength was still a gap in strength.

No amount of tenacity could overcome the body's weakness.

As time went on, the burly woman grew slower and her movements more sluggish.

Finally, when the Unicorn Boar charged again, she twisted aside and avoided its sharp horn, only to be struck by its body.

The burly woman flew backward like a cannonball fired from its barrel.

The short knife flew from her hand.

She slammed hard into a large tree before finally stopping.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out.

The burly woman tried to get up, but no matter what she did, she could not.

Huff, huff...

The Unicorn Boar roared and turned around.

Fixing its eyes on the burly woman, it lowered its head and launched another attack.

Though the burly woman could not get up, she glared fiercely at the Unicorn Boar, utterly fearless.

Yet deep in her eyes flickered a glimmer of despair.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound tore through the air.

Yi Chen finally made his move.

A Thorn Fruit traced a graceful arc through the air and struck one of the wounds on the Unicorn Boar's back.

The Thorn Fruit, over ten centimeters long, sank completely into the Unicorn Boar's wound.

Roar!

The Unicorn Boar howled in pain, its charge abruptly stalling.

The burly woman's eyes widened. She clearly had not expected a turn for the better to appear at such a certain moment of death.

"He made his move, he finally made his move!"

"My god, according to the Scanner, the Thorn Fruit reached three hundred meters per second after leaving his hand! That's much faster than when he practiced."

"That's incredible! With that speed, plus the Thorn Fruit's hardness and sharpness, it might even pierce through the skull of a weaker low-level Ferocious Beast."

"I wonder when Yi Chen will write down the mantra for the Flying Knife Art."

"This feels a little too scheming. He deliberately dragged it out until the very moment of life and death before acting."

"On a place like Exile Planet, if you aren't a little scheming, surviving is far too difficult."

"If he wants to win the beauty, how can he do it without being a little scheming? Yi Chen is fair and delicate. In our eyes, he's handsome, but to the women of Exile Planet, he's trash destined to be eliminated."

"If they mate with trash, the children they produce will most likely be trash too. Even if Yi Chen is her lifesaver, that peerless beauty definitely won't be interested in him."

"Making his move only when the peerless beauty is in despair gives him a greater chance of winning her heart."

The viewers in the Live Stream Room discussed the matter heatedly.

Some thought Yi Chen was too scheming, while others could not help defending him.

But only Yi Chen himself knew the real reason.

Whoosh...

Seeing the Unicorn Boar's massive body turn toward him, Yi Chen did not waste a word. Another Thorn Fruit shot out, striking the Unicorn Boar squarely between the brows.

Of the Thorn Fruit, over ten centimeters long, only its tail remained exposed.

The Unicorn Boar began to sway.

Its four legs wobbled like those of a drunken man.

It took several more steps forward.

Then, with a boom, it crashed to the ground.

Its breathing gradually weakened.

Not far away, the burly woman looked at the Unicorn Boar lying on the ground, then at Yi Chen, who was fair-skinned, clean-looking, and thin—someone who would absolutely be considered trash-tier in the Tribe.

Her wide, bell-like eyes were filled with disbelief.

With a casual wave of his hand, he had thrown a Thorn Fruit and killed a Unicorn Boar just like that?

She was one hundred percent certain that if she returned to the Tribe and told them about this, absolutely no one would believe her.

Because even having witnessed it with her own eyes, she still found it somewhat unreal.

On the other side, after confirming that the Unicorn Boar had breathed its last.

Yi Chen stepped forward, pulled the Thorn Fruit from between its brows, wiped away the blood, and retrieved it.

Only then did he walk over to the burly woman and ask with concern, "Are you all right?"

The burly woman shook her head.

Having recovered a little strength, she barely managed to stand.

"Hopelessly single! With a beauty right in front of him, he actually retrieved the Thorn Fruit first?"

"He has no experience at all. If it were me, I'd definitely rush over immediately, help the beauty up, and shower her with concern. Of course, that's assuming my standards of beauty matched those of the Human Race on Exile Planet."

"What do you know? On Exile Planet, showering someone with concern is useless."

"If you want to capture her heart, the perfect process is to walk right up and carry her onto the Unicorn Boar's corpse."

"Then cut open the Unicorn Boar's throat and take some blood for the beauty to drink, so she can recover some strength."

"That would both domineeringly declare that the beauty and the Unicorn Boar belonged to him, while also showing his gentle side."

The viewers in the Live Stream Room all thought Yi Chen's courting skills were too awful to behold.

If it were them, with the advantage of having saved her life, even if their build and looks were considered trash on Exile Planet, they would definitely win the beauty!
