When their companion's head suddenly exploded, the remaining Green Wind Wolves instantly sensed danger.

Awoo...

A low howl laced with a hint of grief rang out as the remaining Green Wind Wolves braced themselves.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The next instant, a flash of light streaked past, and one Green Wind Wolf head after another burst apart.

The psionic power of a Junior Psionic Energy General could rival that of an intermediate General Grade warrior or an intermediate Beast General.

Let alone Green Wind Wolves as weak as these.

Crushed beneath absolute strength, the Green Wind Wolves had no room to resist at all.

In less than three breaths, ten Green Wind Wolves had already died beneath his King Slayer Flying Sword.

"This feels amazing!"

Glancing at the system panel, Ye Cang grew even more excited.

Awoo...

Another wolf howl rang out, though this time it carried an extra note of shrill despair.

The remaining Green Wind Wolves fell into chaos and fled wildly down the street behind them.

Seeing this, Ye Cang leaped toward the nearest building and followed after the Green Wind Wolves.

His mental power continued to control the King Slayer Flying Sword as it assassinated the Green Wind Wolves.

In less than half a minute, every Green Wind Wolf was dead.

After death, intermediate Beast Soldiers could provide roughly 4 to 6 points of Life Energy, while junior Beast Soldiers could provide roughly 2.5 to 3.5 points.

The exact amount varied depending on the monster's strength.

Still, after this wave, his Life Energy had increased considerably.

[Life Energy: 48]

Seeing the number, Ye Cang was overjoyed.

"For every point increase to the 'Spirit' attribute at the General Grade, ten points of Life Energy are needed. To advance to an intermediate Psionic Energy General, I'll need at least nearly three hundred attribute points—three thousand points of Life Energy."

"But one point of the 'Body' attribute at the warrior level only costs three points of Life Energy. With just 111 points of Life Energy, my physical combat power can break through to the General Grade."

After thinking it over, Ye Cang looked at his 'Body' attribute, which stood at only 63 points, and decided to add points to it.

Standing atop the building, Ye Cang felt the strength of his body rapidly rise as his Life Energy vanished.

Three minutes later.

[Ye Cang (Advanced Warrior, Junior Psionic Energy General)] [Spirit: 101] [Body: 79]

His strength had increased by 1,600 kilograms, and his cultivation had also broken through to the advanced warrior realm.

"Just as I thought! The Wilderness Zone is my paradise!"

Stretching his limbs, Ye Cang's eyes gleamed as he began searching for his next target.

Awoo...

But before he could act, shrill wolf howls rang out from the distant streets.

Rumble...

The buildings shook without end, as though an earthquake had struck.

But Ye Cang knew it was not.

The source of the tremors was the countless Green Wind Wolves.

They seemed to have sensed the deaths of their kind. Every Green Wind Wolf from several nearby streets was converging on this spot.

"Warning! Warning! A huge wave of Life Energy is incoming!"

Ye Cang let out a strange cry and clicked his tongue in delight.

Boom!

With a movement of his feet, he shot into the air and landed atop a nearby seven-story building with a better view, carefully observing the wolf pack below.

A few breaths later.

"Eighteen advanced Beast Soldier Green Wind Wolves, thirty-two intermediate ones, and one hundred twenty-seven junior ones."

"Besides that, there's even one junior Beast General Green Wind Wolf King."

Muttering to himself, Ye Cang confirmed the number of ferocious beasts surrounding him.

"I can take them!"

After a quick calculation, battle intent boiled in his eyes.

Awooo...

Countless wolf howls pierced through the gray mist.

Below the building, a large pack of Green Wind Wolves came rushing in, leaping toward the rooftop.

Seeing the Green Wind Wolves launch their attack, the six fifth-tier King Slayer Flying Swords before Ye Cang slowly began to revolve.

"Let's wear them down first!"

"Kill!"

With a low shout, the fifth-tier King Slayer Flying Swords shot out like bolts of lightning and meteors.

Puff puff puff...

Heads burst apart one after another like watermelons struck by bullets.

Blood and brain matter filled the sky, as though a rain of blood had fallen.

The headless bodies of the Green Wind Wolves crashed heavily to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

In the blink of an eye, the large number of Green Wind Wolves that had nearly reached Ye Cang fell from midair, taking down the wolves leaping up behind them as well.

Splat splat...

Heads exploded like fireworks.

Ye Cang watched the monsters continuously leaping up from below with cold eyes. The six King Slayer Flying Swords were like Death God's scythes, slaughtering madly.

Awooo...

A miserable howl rose from within the wolf pack.

It was the Green Wind Wolf King!

Seeing large numbers of its kin die, it gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

At once, the Green Wind Wolves that had surrounded them halted and began backing away.

Yet their crimson eyes remained fixed on Ye Cang atop the building, killing intent spilling forth.

Awooo...

Another wolf howl rang out. In the next instant, the ground exploded, and a green figure shot into the sky from the earth. In the blink of an eye, it was already before Ye Cang.

The Green Wind Wolf King had personally entered the fight!

Its sharp claws ripped down, tearing through the air with a shriek.

"Good timing!"

A flicker of excitement flashed through Ye Cang's eyes.

Clang!

Ye Cang lightly flicked the God Slaying Sword in his hand, and it let out a clear sword cry.

The next instant, sword light flashed like lightning as it met the Green Wind Wolf King's claws head-on.

Clang!

The claws collided with the God Slaying Sword, sending dazzling sparks flying.

Boom!

Chunks of concrete shattered and scattered as Ye Cang was forced back again and again.

"What astonishing strength!"

Shaking out his numb arm, Ye Cang's gaze sharpened.

From that single clash, he roughly estimated the Green Wind Wolf King's strength.

More than fifteen thousand kilograms.

"System! Allocate points!"

With a low roar, Ye Cang's figure flashed, and he once again collided head-on with the charging Green Wind Wolf King.

During the bloody slaughter just now, his Life Energy had already exceeded one hundred.

Enough to raise his "Physique" attribute to the General tier.

Clang clang clang...

Aurora Sword Wings unfolded.

As the God Slaying Sword swept through the air, it flashed like sudden light, repeatedly colliding with the Green Wind Wolf King's claws.

Allocating points was easy, but he could not afford to neglect real combat experience and technique.

Ye Cang began tempering himself through this sword art.

For a time, the battle was locked in an inseparable deadlock.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes had gone by.

By this point, Ye Cang's 'Physique' attribute had long since broken past a hundred, his strength surpassed ten thousand kilograms, and his cultivation had successfully advanced to General.

Though his strength was still inferior to the Green Wind Wolf King's, with the boost of his Minute Level Movement Technique, he was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

A few more minutes passed before Ye Cang saw that the experience for the battle skill Aurora Sword Wings had stopped increasing.

"Your usefulness ends here. Time to send you on your way!"

Ye Cang muttered. The sword technique in his hand suddenly shifted, and an indescribable aura appeared along the blade.

"Blood Shadow Flow Kill!"

"Blood Drop!"

Whoosh!

A fierce wind tore through the air, ripping the air apart. Before the Green Wind Wolf King could react, it saw a drop of blood explode before its eyes.

Bang!

Blood splattered.

A one-hit kill!

"It's over!"

Ye Cang let out a breath as he looked at the Green Wind Wolf King, now nothing more than a corpse before him.

Then, he looked down at the remaining Green Wind Wolves.

"You can go keep your king company too!"

His figure flashed. He leapt from the rooftop, and six King Slayer Flying Swords shot into the pack of Green Wind Wolves.

Bang bang bang...

Heads burst apart one after another. Before the pack of Green Wind Wolves could react and flee, he had already slaughtered them all.

[Life Energy: 564]

Looking at the data displayed on the system panel, Ye Cang's face was filled with delight.

But when he thought of how, after breaking through, the exchange ratio for Life Energy and attribute points had reached ten to one, Ye Cang could not help but sigh.

"Fifty-six attribute points—no matter where I put them, it won't even be enough to break through a minor realm."

"Still, today's harvest has only just begun!"
