Hah—Bah! What is that thing!

Jiangnan City, Sixth Satellite City.

On the roof of a building several hundred meters high, a cold wind whistled.

A tall, upright figure stood silently at the edge of the building, draped in a wide black robe that completely obscured his face in shadow.

It was Su Yuntao, after his transformation.

At this moment, he was looking down from his vantage point at the bustling steel city.

Su Yuntao took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

A wolf, in truth, is just a dog.

Being a master's dog was not something to be taken lightly.

"Two people in the same city... how convenient."

Even separated by a dozen streets, and even with the city filled with the noisy aura of millions of people, he could still rely on the instincts of his Lone Wolf Spirit to follow that faint, ethereal connection and instantly lock onto two auras that felt out of place in this world.

Those were auras belonging to Douluo Continent.

On Earth today, a War God was the pinnacle of combat power.

And he, bearing the genes of a Starry Sky Behemoth, could absolutely crush and defeat any local Earth War God, even if he hadn't yet fully adapted to the surging power within his body!

In other words, in the current world, he was a near-invincible existence!

He could act without any scruples whatsoever!

Extreme Martial Arts Hall, academy dormitory.

Under Cuihua's guarantee, Dai Mubai had successfully joined the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Although testing showed he only barely reached the threshold of a Junior Martial Artist, he was, after all, a member of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

Room and board were provided.

Because of this, he finally had the right to move into the academy dormitory.

Now that Dai Mubai finally had some free time, he sat cross-legged in his room.

For the past few days, he had been busy earning money to fill his stomach, leaving him not even a moment for cultivation. Now, he could finally catch his breath and attempt his first cultivation session in this world!

He recalled the scene during the Sky Screen broadcast when he tried to cultivate on the playground.

Tang San had felt his body being torn apart after absorbing only a sliver of Cosmic Energy, and while he had also successfully absorbed Cosmic Energy, he hadn't experienced that sensation of his body being torn.

At the time, everyone had deduced that if one's physical fitness wasn't strong enough to withstand that violent energy, the pain of one's body being torn apart would occur.

My physical fitness has long since far surpassed my peers.

Dai Mubai clenched his fists confidently.

The Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul has granted me extremely formidable physical defense and strength. Although I've only just reached the passing line for what this world calls a Junior Martial Artist, I am definitely not weak.

Plus, with my level thirty-seven spirit power protecting my body, absorbing a little bit of Cosmic Energy should be a breeze.

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai took a deep breath, calming his excited heart.

He closed his eyes, soles of his feet facing upward, palms facing the sky, and assumed the standard Five-Heart-to-Sky posture.

Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.

Dai Mubai felt wisps of warm air currents in the surrounding atmosphere beginning to slowly permeate into his body through his palms and the soles of his feet.

Success!

Dai Mubai was overjoyed.

His first cultivation in this strange world was even faster than when he had attempted it on Douluo Continent!

This meant he was even more proficient with the Five-Heart-to-Sky Cultivation Method!

But he immediately realized something was wrong.

Back on Douluo Continent, the Cosmic Origin Energy he felt was extremely thin; he had to struggle to capture even a single wisp from the air to absorb into his body.

But in this world, it was completely different.

The air was filled with an outrageously dense amount of Cosmic Origin Energy!

There was no need to search for it in the air at all; as long as he could successfully circulate the Five-Heart-to-Sky Cultivation Method, the Genetic Origin Energy drawn in would surge into his body like a frenzy!

The moment those wisps of warm air entered Dai Mubai's body, it was like a floodgate opening, instantly transforming into a roaring, surging torrent!

"Boom!"

The violent Genetic Origin Energy, like a wild horse without a bridle, surged madly through his palms and charged directly into his blood vessels and muscle fibers.

"Argh—!"

Dai Mubai let out a miserable, shrill scream. His eyes snapped open, and the whites of his eyes were instantly covered in dense, blood-red veins.

Pain!

Bone-deep, excruciating pain!

His meridians were being forcibly stretched, his bones emitted creaking sounds of being unable to bear the load, and a fine layer of blood beads even seeped out from the surface of his skin.

"Stop! Quickly, stop!"

Dai Mubai roared frantically in his heart, desperate to break his Five Hearts Toward Heaven posture.

However, that massive surge of energy had completely seized his body. He no longer had the strength to even twitch a finger, and could only watch helplessly as his body swelled more and more, ready to burst and die on the spot at any moment, just like that commoner Wang Er.

Fear.

Despair.

As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, am I really going to die a pathetic death in a martial arts dormitory before I've even had the chance to realize my grand ambitions?

Dai Mubai felt his consciousness gradually blurring, his heart filled with unwillingness.

Just then!

"Awoo—"

A low, ancient, and solemn wolf howl suddenly exploded in the silent night sky, seemingly piercing through the barriers of space to echo directly in the depths of Dai Mubai's mind.

The next second.

An irresistible, massive suction force descended upon Dai Mubai out of thin air.

The violent Genetic Origin Energy that had been rampaging through his body was instantly drained away, vanishing without a trace.

"Haa... haa..."

As the oppressive pressure vanished, Dai Mubai collapsed onto the bed like a pile of mud.

He gasped for air, his entire body soaked in cold sweat and blood. It took several minutes before he could barely recover from the terror of his near-death experience.

Seemingly sensing something, Dai Mubai looked toward the window, and at just one glance, his pupils contracted violently.

Outside that window.

In the darkness of the night.

A figure wearing a wide black robe was hovering silently in mid-air.

The person had their arms crossed over their chest, and a black hood obscured most of their face, making it impossible to see their features. Yet, the abyssal aura radiating from them made Dai Mubai tremble from the depths of his soul.

Walking on air!

No flight device, no wings.

This was a super powerhouse from a higher-dimensional world!

He endured the excruciating pain throughout his body and struggled to crawl off the bed. Far from feeling fear, he was trembling with excitement.

That mysterious powerhouse must have intervened just now, absorbing the rampaging energy in his body and saving his life!

In this strange, unfamiliar world, to receive the favor and life-saving grace of a powerhouse was an immense stroke of fortune!

This was his best chance to soar to the heavens!

"Many thanks to the senior for saving my life!"

Dai Mubai bowed deeply, his voice raspy with excitement.

He raised his head and stared fixedly at the mysterious powerhouse, his eyes filled with longing and anticipation.

In this strange world where he had no kin, a powerhouse had saved him; surely, they must have seen some quality in him, felt a desire to nurture talent, and intended to take him as a disciple.

Stay calm!

If I speak first, I'll lose my leverage.

However.

The black-clad figure hovering outside the window merely glanced at him coldly, then turned away indifferently. Their form blurred, and they merged directly into the night, vanishing without a trace.

Only Dai Mubai was left, kneeling blankly by the bed, staring at the empty window with a face full of shock and disappointment.

After moving far away from Dai Mubai, Su Yuntao felt a chill run down his spine.

The way Dai Mubai had looked at him just now seemed wrong; that gaze was too fanatical, too naked, as if he wanted to devour him whole!

He had heard that certain nobles had peculiar tastes, and the Douluo person he had just saved on a whim, with his golden hair and green eyes, seemed to match the rumored appearance of the Star Luo Empire's royal family.

"Pah!"

"What a bold, lecherous piece of trash!"

Su Yuntao spat viciously.

"If it weren't for the fact that my master's mission is to monitor you, I would have wiped you out if you hadn't caused any trouble!"

Dead men couldn't be monitored.

That was the only reason he had intervened to save that perverted noble; otherwise, he would have felt his hands were dirtied just by saving him!
