Ten Realms

The camp was incredibly lively.

The instigator of all this, naturally, was Gu Han, who was currently in the midst of a frenzied hunt for demonic beasts.

During this period of slaughter, Gu Han's strength had already reached Ninth-tier Martial Disciple.

He was only one step away from advancing to become a Martial Artist.

He was now deep in the dense forest, and the strength of the surrounding demonic beasts had increased visibly.

Demonic beasts he encountered casually were all One-star Seventh or Eighth-tier.

However, Gu Han was now targeting demonic beasts that were on the verge of becoming Two-star!

From his previous battle with Xue Wen, Gu Han knew that he might still have a gap in strength compared to a newly advanced Two-star demonic beast, but the gap wasn't large.

Coupled with his strength growth during this period, if he was careful, he still had a chance to kill a Two-star demonic beast.

As for those Seventh and Eighth-tier demonic beasts, although they were only one or two minor tiers lower than Gu Han.

To the current Gu Han, they were as good as dead with a single punch, no questions asked!

A continuous stream of Vitality and four-dimensional attribute points surged into Gu Han's body.

Occasionally, there were also precious gains like elemental energy of various attributes and demonic beast Vitality.

However, because he hadn't accumulated enough demonic beast inner cores, Gu Han chose to directly provide the excess demonic beast Vitality to Little Wolf to enhance its strength.

This was to prevent it from being unable to even support him when facing Two-star demonic beasts.

A heavy thud echoed once more.

It was a massive sword-toothed pig, its strength reaching the peak of One-star.

Even for the current Gu Han, it still took two punches to smash it to death!

A warm current flowed through Gu Han's body.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for absorbing 500 points of Vitality, 50 Defense attribute points, and 5 points of demonic beast Vitality from the sword-toothed pig."

Although the sword-toothed pig's strength was inferior to Xue Wen's, it was a representative of abundant Vitality.

The amount of Vitality it provided to Gu Han was actually on par with Xue Wen's!

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for reaching the Vitality threshold. You can choose to break through to Tenth-tier Martial Disciple or break through to Martial Artist. Please choose yourself."

The System's sudden voice made Gu Han pause.

This world doesn't directly advance to the next major realm after Ninth-tier?

Tenth-tier Martial Disciple, this was the first time Gu Han had heard of it since arriving in this world.

"Ten represents perfection. Whether it's Martial Disciple, Martial Artist, Martial Master, or even higher realms, only Tenth-tier is the realm of perfection!"

"However, the requirements to achieve Tenth-tier Martial Disciple are extremely harsh. In this world, only the top prodigies can touch upon it. It's normal that the Host's predecessor never heard of it."

The System's explanation was practically stating that Gu Han's predecessor was weak.

But Gu Han could understand this. If his predecessor was truly strong, he wouldn't have only been a First-tier Martial Disciple...

He had heard of the Tenth-tier perfection realm many times before transmigrating.

In many novels, the protagonist cultivated to this realm.

However, in many of those novels, this perfection realm didn't seem to have much effect later on.

The protagonist still couldn't win against those they couldn't defeat.

But Gu Han still wanted to take a gamble!

Since the theory of ten tiers existed, it must have its reasons.

If he didn't go through each realm, how would he know his own shortcomings?

Gu Han immediately thought in his heart, "I choose to break through to Tenth-tier Martial Disciple!"

A sound like a great bell and resonant drum echoed within Gu Han's body.

His meridians and bones were undergoing unimaginable strengthening.

In Little Wolf's eyes, Gu Han suddenly erupted with a powerful Vitality, which held immense attraction for carnivorous demonic beasts!

But Gu Han himself seemed to have turned into a statue, motionless!

"Awooo..."

Little Wolf immediately became anxious.

Rustling sounds had already begun to arise around them, clearly indicating that the surrounding demonic beasts were drawn by the scent of blood.

Although its strength was now comparable to an adult Phantom Water Wolf and it could fight against a One-star Ninth-tier demonic beast.

If there were too many, it wouldn't be able to defeat them!

Soon, seven or eight wolf beasts with pupils glowing emerald green slowly emerged from the forest.

Their bodies were lowered, and their emerald green eyes were fixed intently on Gu Han, who was exuding a rich scent of blood.

Fetid saliva dripped continuously from their mouths, clearly salivating over Gu Han's flesh!

"Awooo~"

Little Wolf let out an anxious roar, trying to wake Gu Han up.

But Gu Han remained like a wooden stake, unresponsive.

Seeing the wolf beasts drawing closer, Little Wolf decided it had to risk its life to protect Gu Han.

But just then, it suddenly noticed that these wolf beasts seemed to be of the same species as itself!

Although the fur of these Phantom Water Wolves was much more mottled than its own, not the smooth watery blue.

It could still vaguely tell they belonged to the Phantom Water Wolf clan.

"Awoo... Awoo~"

Little Wolf anxiously communicated to these Phantom Water Wolves that they were all the same kind and there was no need for a fight to the death.

Hearing Little Wolf's cries, the leading Phantom Water Wolf seemed to pause.

There was only this branch of the Phantom Water Wolf clan in the vicinity. The previous clan had lost its wolf king in a territorial dispute, killed by their wolf king.

They hadn't heard of any Phantom Water Wolf giving birth outside recently either?

However, Phantom Water Wolves were extremely easy to identify; they could even confirm that Little Wolf's bloodline was superior to theirs!

In the current clan, only the wolf king possessed such pure blood.

One Phantom Water Wolf thought to itself, could it be that the wolf king had been unfaithful and had offspring outside?

Considering this possibility, which was almost the only one, several Phantom Water Wolves let out howls, seemingly communicating information.

A moment later, a larger Phantom Water Wolf stepped forward, let out two howls at Little Wolf, signaling that it would take Little Wolf back to the camp, and then walked towards Gu Han with a leisurely and carefree gait.

Its demeanor clearly indicated it intended to eat Gu Han before returning to the wolf den.

This immediately made Little Wolf anxious. Seeing that Gu Han was about to be devoured by wolves, Little Wolf decided to go all out.

Little Wolf's eyes darted around, and it followed closely beside the Phantom Water Wolf, appearing as if it wanted to help it deal with Gu Han.

The Phantom Water Wolf was very pleased with Little Wolf's performance, preparing to let Little Wolf have a good meal later.

Taking advantage of the Phantom Water Wolf's lack of defense, Little Wolf suddenly bit down on its throat.

Phantom Water Wolf:!!!

It didn't even have time to let out a scream before its neck was instantly snapped by Little Wolf!

The Phantom Water Wolf's body fell to the ground, blood continuously flowing from the wound, and in an instant, it stopped breathing.

Even in death, its pupils still held a look of disbelief.

It couldn't understand why Little Wolf would attack its own kind for a human!

Seeing this, the other Phantom Water Wolves' pupils suddenly widened, and they let out threatening growls at Little Wolf.

The next moment, several Phantom Water Wolves formed a hunting formation and surrounded Little Wolf!
