Ten Realm Strength

"This is already extremely close to the border. The generals of the Running Wolf Nation shouldn't be here."

The owner of one of the sword-toothed pigs, his face terrifyingly grim, whispered in confusion, "And what could have killed Little Pig and be here?"

The soldiers of the Sword-toothed Country took pride in being able to contract with sword-toothed pigs.

Sword-toothed pigs had astonishing appetites, and he had spent a great deal of effort to cultivate his sword-toothed pig to the two-star realm!

But he never expected it to be lost here during a scouting mission!

"Could it have been another demonic beast?"

Facing his companion's guess, he shook his head, "Little Pig's hide is thick and tough, and it's extremely aggressive. No demonic beast of the same level would be foolish enough to target Little Pig."

Demonic beasts understood bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

If they had a choice, who would attack a sword-to-toothed pig when they could hunt down weaker, less resistant demonic beasts?

Those tusks could easily pierce a body, and it wasn't a joke.

"Chase after him! I want to avenge Little Pig!"

The sword-toothed pig's owner, his anger soaring, took the lead and sped off in the direction Gu Han had gone.

"Zhao Qin, wait!"

His comrade's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Are you trying to die? This is the Running Wolf Nation's territory. If you act rashly like this and encounter a general from the Running Wolf Nation, won't you just be handing yourself over?"

Zhao Qin's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, roaring in a low voice, "But shouldn't Little Pig's revenge be taken?"

Little Pig had been raised by him since he was young; they were practically of one mind.

Coupled with the fact that demonic beasts were not easily detected or suspected when scouting in the forest, he had always let Little Pig take the lead.

Now that Little Pig was killed, Zhao Qin had lost his mind, only wanting revenge.

"It doesn't matter if you die, but if this mission fails, can you take responsibility?"

"Besides, we received orders to protect you. If you act without authorization, you'll drag us down too!"

His teammate whispered sternly, "Revenge must be taken, but a gentleman's revenge is never too late. If the grand plan of the imperial court is ruined, it won't just be a matter of one sword-toothed pig."

Zhao Qin's anger had not subsided, but he knew his teammate's words were not unreasonable.

For this invasion, the imperial court and the generals had planned for a long time.

If his momentary anger caused the entire plan to fail.

Not only him, but even his family would likely be implicated!

Even his brother-in-law wouldn't be able to protect him.

After a long period of hesitation, Zhao Qin could only sigh helplessly.

His eyes moist, he looked at the small path Gu Han had taken, and punched his own thigh, "Little Pig, wait for me to avenge you in the future."

Seeing that Zhao Qin had changed his mind, the few of them continued to lower their bodies and began to record the surrounding terrain.

Gu Han ran wildly, winding through the forest in a large loop, even creating many tracks to mislead any potential pursuers before finding a cave and ducking inside.

Starting a fire and roasting the pig was a swift process.

After Little Wolf curled up by the campfire to warm itself, Gu Han looked at his status panel after breaking through to the tenth realm.

Host: Gu Han
Cultivation: Tenth-order Martial Disciple
Vitality: 14580 (Ninth-order Martial Disciple Vitality Range: 8000~10000)
Strength: 4689 (Ninth-order Martial Disciple Strength Range: 1500~2000)
Defense: 2680 (Ninth-order Martial Disciple Defense Range: 1500~2000)
Speed: 3515 (Ninth-order Martial Disciple Speed Range: 1500~2000)
Spirit: 1599 (Ninth-order Martial Disciple Spirit Range: 800~1000)
Cultivation Technique: Qi Guiding Art
Martial Skills: Fierce Fist (Proficient), Wind Breaking Stab (Slightly Mastered)

"Breaking through to the tenth realm actually increased my attributes so much?"

Looking at the terrifying attributes, Gu Han's eyes lit up, and his heart rejoiced.

Although he often surpassed Martial Disciples of the same realm by a large margin in terms of attributes due to his talent absorption.

But the advantage wouldn't be particularly significant in Defense and Spirit.

It was often just average or slightly above average among Martial Disciples of the same realm.

After all, the strength accumulated by Martial Disciples of the same realm over time was not to be underestimated.

But at this moment, having just broken through to the tenth realm, his attributes had risen so much that they surpassed the upper limit of the same realm.

"It seems choosing the path of the tenth realm was indeed the right choice."

Gu Han smiled slightly, very satisfied with his strength.

He looked at Little Wolf's status panel below.

Battle Pet: Phantom Water Wolf King

Strength: Eighth Rank

Vitality: 6854 (One-star Eighth Rank Demonic Beast Vitality Range: 6000~8000)

Strength: 1310 (One-star Eighth Rank Demonic Beast Strength Range: 1200~1500)

Defense: 1218 (One-star Eighth Rank Demonic Beast Defense Range: 1200~1500)

Speed: 1354 (One-star Eighth Rank Demonic Beast Speed Range: 1200~1500)

Spirit: 666 (One-star Eighth Rank Demonic Beast Spirit Range: 600~800)

Racial Skill: Phantom Water Clone (Manipulate water elements to form Phantom Water Clones with 15% of its strength to assist in combat. The higher the mastery, the stronger the formed Phantom Water Clones and the more numerous they can be.)

"Although Little Wolf can't absorb attributes, with the help of demonic beast Vitality, Water Element Power, and demonic beast inner cores, it has developed in a balanced way."

"And the Phantom Water Clones Little Wolf conjures have also become a bit stronger than before."

Gu Han stroked his chin, not too surprised by Little Wolf's strength.

"However, Little Wolf's current attributes can only be considered average among one-star eighth-rank demonic beasts."

Gu Han was somewhat mentally prepared for this.

The Phantom Water Wolf King sounded imposing, but its actual upper limit was likely only a three-star demonic beast, corresponding to a human Martial Master.

And this was the theoretical limit. Appearing in this mountain range, Little Wolf's father was probably at most a two-star demonic beast.

With such strength, they had an overwhelming advantage over other weaker demonic beast species at lower ranks.

But as their realms grew, this advantage would shrink relative to demonic beasts of the same level.

By the time they reached three stars, it would become a disadvantage.

However, this was unavoidable. Gu Han wanting to obtain a young demonic beast that could directly reach a nine-star demonic emperor as a battle pet in the early stages was akin to a fool's dream.

It was already fortunate enough to be able to break through Little Wolf's bloodline with the battle pet system.

"Even if only for Little Wolf's sake, I cannot slack off."

Before Gu Han's thoughts could settle, his nostrils twitched slightly.

"The smell of roast suckling pig is really fragrant."

Little Wolf even voluntarily transformed into the size of a Samoyed, ready to feast.

Gu Han smiled and proactively cut a large piece of pork leg for Little Wolf, letting it devour it.

"Eat slowly, don't burn yourself..."

The man and the wolf feasted in the cave.

Meanwhile, Guan Shan and the other instructors, after receiving the information reported by Qian Fu, immediately began to act.

They split up and searched near the border.

Guan Shan almost got into a fight with the guarding general of the sword-toothed pigs when he arrived near the border monument between the two countries.

However, having been rivals for many years, they both knew that neither could defeat the other in a short period.

They could only exchange insults, telling the other to wash their necks and wait for death on the battlefield, before turning and leaving.
