First Arrival at the Abyss (1), Instant Kill, or Instant Kill!

[Ding, you have entered the Level 1 Abyss]

[Difficulty: Level 1]

"Is this the Abyss?"

Jiang Yuan looked up at the sky, which was gray and devoid of light, then looked down at the dark, solid ground beneath his feet and stomped on it; it was as hard as iron.

Lin Qingyan kept her hands in her jacket pockets, tilted her delicate face upward, and said with a hint of disdain, "Still the same as always, the air is filthy and gloomy."

Turning her head, she found Jiang Yuan staring at her.

Lin Qingyan: "Why are you looking at me?"

"We are both Level 1 martial artists, and it's our first time in the Abyss, yet you seem so experienced. School Beauty Lin, could it be that you..." Jiang Yuan's eyes were locked onto her.

Lin Qingyan felt a jolt in her heart from his gaze.

Oh no, could he have realized that I'm a reincarnator?

"Roar!"

A beast's roar in the distance caused both of them to stop talking and turn their heads simultaneously.

"Take care of yourself."

Lin Qingyan tossed out the words and prepared to head in that direction.

But Jiang Yuan, standing beside her, was faster. With a push of his feet, his figure shot toward the sound like a sharp arrow at an even greater speed.

Ever since he learned that one Level 1 beast was worth 1 merit point, which was equivalent to ten thousand yuan, he had only one thought left.

Kill!

Killing monsters allowed him to level up, get stronger, and make money—only a fool wouldn't do it!

Lin Qingyan was both shocked and angry, snapping, "That's my prey!"

She immediately gave chase.

But Jiang Yuan's current speed exceeded a thousand, reaching 300 meters per second—nearly the speed of sound—and she couldn't catch up to him at all.

"Damn it, how is this guy so fast!?"

"Right, he's an assassin." Lin Qingyan gritted her teeth.

A gale swept through wherever Jiang Yuan passed, and to the naked eye, he was nothing more than a black shadow darting rapidly across the land.

"Found you."

A pale golden light flashed in the depths of Jiang Yuan's eyes as he spotted a two-meter-tall wolf-like beast in the distance, standing on a Stone and howling at the sky.

"Appraise."

[Monster]: Iron-Headed Wolf

[Grade]: Common.

[Level]: LV4.

[Skills]: Bite, Impact.

[Note]: A pack-dwelling Abyss creature. Its head is hard, it is extremely vengeful, and it excels at group attacks.

"Swish!"

Jiang Yuan sprinted rapidly over the rugged, rocky terrain, crossing a hundred meters in an instant.

By the time the wolf-like beast sensed danger and turned to look, Jiang Yuan, descending from high above, had already arrived before it, his golden eyes cold, like the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

"!"

Before this Iron-Headed Wolf could even react, its hardest part—its head—was blown apart by a single punch!

"Bang!"

Blood bloomed!

The health bar above its head was instantly emptied!

One-hit kill!

[Ding, you have killed an Iron-Headed Wolf, gaining 40 EXP]

The LV4 Iron-Headed Wolf hadn't even seen the face of its killer before it died.

By the time Lin Qingyan arrived, she happened to see the headless wolf-like beast sway twice before collapsing with a thud beside Jiang Yuan.

Even she couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart at this sight.

This was just too fast!!

"The EXP is a bit low, and it didn't drop anything."

Jiang Yuan said with a hint of dissatisfaction. He took out his recording card, watched the 0 on it change to a 1, and couldn't help but smile.

"Ten thousand credits deposited."

"Killing fierce beasts is actually pretty simple."

If any Level 1 martial artist were nearby to hear Jiang Yuan say this, they would surely be depressed to death.

These Iron-Headed Wolves were not easy to deal with; they possessed high attack power, high defense, and could even summon companions. Which ordinary Level 1 martial artist, just entering the Abyss, didn't have to rely on teamwork, rack their brains, and even risk their lives just to break through its defenses and kill it?

Quite a few novices had lost their lives because of this!

Who else could walk up and instantly kill one with a single punch to its hardest part—the head?

"Awoo!"

"Awoooo!"

Howls erupted from all directions.

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look around. "What's wrong?"

Not far away, Lin Qingyan stood atop a cone-shaped boulder and said, "Think it's simple, do you? Let me tell you. This type of fierce beast is called an Iron-Headed Wolf, and they are pack animals. Killing one will only attract more."

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up. "Isn't that even better?"

Lin Qingyan: "..."

It was her first time seeing such a stubborn guy.

She simply sat down on the boulder, resting her chin in one hand. "Then I'll see just how many you can kill."

As her words fell, pairs of green, vicious eyes lit up all around Jiang Yuan, and a dozen health bars appeared above their heads.

Clatter.

Accompanied by the sound of crumbling rocks sliding away.

Massive, iron-black bodies lunged toward Jiang Yuan.

"Roar!"

A dozen giant wolves opened their blood-red maws in mid-air, their sharp teeth gleaming like alloy blades, intent on tearing the tiny human below into shreds!

But in Jiang Yuan's eyes, these were all experience points and money!

"So much money!"

His eyes shone, and he was exceptionally excited.

He nonchalantly tilted his head to avoid the bite of a giant wolf.

He threw a backhand punch, and terrifying force poured into the giant wolf's body like a flood, causing it to bulge and then explode with a bang, scattering a rain of blood!

[Ding, you killed an Iron-Headed Wolf, EXP +30]

Another instant kill!

Another giant wolf swung its claws down, leaving three cold glints in the air.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand to block, and the claws capable of tearing through steel left only three white marks on his arm.

He raised his leg and delivered a knee strike.

"Bang!"

The giant wolf's chest caved in completely, blood sprayed from its maw, and it collapsed limply to the ground.

[Ding, you killed an Iron-Headed Wolf, EXP +40]

[Ding, your level has increased, current level LV3]

Two dealt with in an instant.

Merit points +2, level +1.

Before Jiang Yuan could even celebrate.

A giant wolf gathered momentum and roared as it charged at high speed.

Standing two meters tall, five meters long, and weighing over three tons, the giant wolf was like a small truck rushing at a hundred kilometers per hour. The terrifying impact force was enough to smash through a house.

Facing such a charge, an ordinary Level 1 martial artist would be severely injured if they couldn't dodge in time.

Jiang Yuan chose not to dodge. He reached out his left hand and pressed down on the giant wolf's charging iron head.

"Bang!"

The massive impact exploded behind Jiang Yuan, kicking up a gust of wind and filling the air with dust.

"Awoooo..."

The giant wolf's claws dug into the ground as it let out a desperate roar, pushing with all its might, yet it couldn't advance even an inch.

Compared to Jiang Yuan's terrifying attributes, these Iron-Headed Wolves below LV10 were simply not worth mentioning!

Jiang Yuan stood his ground, completely unmoved. With a slight exertion of his left hand, he lifted the entire giant wolf and violently flung it away.

"Awoooo!"

Another giant wolf bit down on Jiang Yuan's arm from the side, only to have its steel teeth shattered by a backhand strike, followed by a punch that exploded its head, splattering brains everywhere.

[Ding, you have slain an Iron-Headed Wolf, EXP +50]

Over a dozen giant wolves swarmed Jiang Yuan. He dodged their attacks with effortless ease while countering with punches and kicks. Every strike contained terrifying explosive power, either shattering the wolves' bodies or tearing them in two.

The sheer brutality of the scene left Lin Qingyan momentarily stunned.

For a moment, she couldn't tell which side was the true beast.

"Is his physique a bit excessively monstrous?" Lin Qingyan muttered to herself. "Even those legendary classes with S-rank physical talents didn't seem this abnormal when they first reached Tier 1 martial artist..."

Lin Qingyan's eyes flickered as she considered a possibility.

"Could it be... that he, like me, has hidden his talent and class?"

At that thought, she began to grow interested in this youth she had met for the first time today.

In less than five minutes.

Jiang Yuan was surrounded by the corpses of giant wolves, the blood staining the area red.

Only the youth remained as calm as ever.

Lin Qingyan found it hard to remain composed.

She had intended to wait until his stamina was exhausted and he begged for mercy before stepping in, but she never expected that he would actually slaughter all these ferocious beasts.
