Watching Li Wei and the Bull Demon fight, Blood Wolf unconsciously clenched his fists. After a long while, Blood Wolf retreated to a safe area and summoned his Yellow Paper.
He just finished fighting monsters in the wild and gained 400 experience points. During the fight, he also killed a Rock Golem and obtained a golden 'Book of Experience'.
This was a windfall for Blood Wolf.
After consuming the Book of Experience, Blood Wolf gained an additional 500 experience points, bringing his total experience points to 900.
After entering this world, he discovered that the 'Bone Shattering Fist', which had already reached its highest level, could still be upgraded, but it required a certain amount of experience points. After breaking through to the highest level, the Bone Shattering Fist would reach the 'Extreme Realm', which required 935 experience points.
He was still a bit short of that number, but after killing more than a dozen Ghoul in the battle just now, Blood Wolf finally reached 935 experience points.
After opening the Yellow Paper, Blood Wolf saw the icon for the Bone Shattering Fist that could be upgraded. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Wei who was fighting, before resolutely choosing to break through.
A streak of light flashed, and on the Yellow Paper, the highest level of the Bone Shattering Fist, Level 8, changed to the words "[Extreme Realm]".
Besides that, Blood Wolf felt a wave of exhilarating comfort surge from his feet to his limbs, finally crashing into his brain. The feeling was indescribable. In fact, if Blood Wolf hadn't had such strong willpower, he probably would have screamed out.
After the exhilarating feeling subsided, Blood Wolf felt that he was stronger than before. This had happened before; generally speaking, martial arts techniques come with attributes, and each level up in a martial art increases one's attributes. However, Blood Wolf had never experienced such a strong feeling before.
To test its strength, Blood Wolf pounced on several Ghouls.
On the other side, Li Wei had already exchanged dozens of blows with the Bull Demon, and had gained a new understanding of the Bull Demon's strength.
Initially, Li Wei thought the Bull Demon's strength was at least 4000 points, which was probably an overestimation. The opponent must have used some kind of skill to have such terrifying destructive power. As it stands, the Bull Demon's strength should be no less than 2500 points. Although it's not as high as initially estimated, it's still more than double his own strength.
The saying goes, "Force can break a thousand pounds." When strength reaches a certain level, it forms terrifying combat power. Just like now, every attack from the Bull Demon required Li Wei to expend extra effort to neutralize it, so Li Wei's physical exertion was definitely greater. In just a moment, Li Wei's forehead was covered in sweat.
Seeing the Bull Demon's horns charging again, Li Wei had no choice but to use his Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to dodge. Boom! The horns swept across, and a forest in that direction seemed to have been cleaved in two, with at least dozens of trees being snapped in half. This demonstrated the power of those horns.
Weaker than his opponent, and unable to deal with the Bull Demon using the Devouring Space, Li Wei was temporarily helpless against it. Glancing at the two Ancient Guardian behind him, Li Wei moved closer to them.
Outnumbered and outmatched, the Bull Demon's overwhelming power completely negated the advantage Li Wei had gained from his reconnaissance. Now, the Bull Demon was attacking head-on, and all Li Wei could do was defend. Fortunately, he still had two Ancient Guardian. Li Wei made up his mind to rely on the defensive towers to hold off the Bull Demon's attack first.
Meanwhile, the Blood Wolf was locked in a fierce battle with a large number of Ghoul, relying on the defensive towers. Li Wei glanced at it and noticed that the Blood Wolf's attacks seemed even more powerful than before. Visible white orbs of light were now interspersed around the Blood Wolf's fists, and with each punch, several Ghoul fell to the ground dead. It was incredibly powerful and was almost wiping out the large number of Ghoul.
Li Wei was greatly surprised and couldn't understand why the Blood Wolf had suddenly become so powerful, but this was not the time to ask questions. He could only suppress his doubts and jump over to join the Blood Wolf in slaughtering the Ghoul.
This time, the Bull Demon's attack brought a large number of Ghoul. Although the two defensive towers had powerful attacks, they could only attack one target at a time. Faced with a large number of enemies, their weakness became apparent, and someone had to coordinate the defense. Realizing this, Li Wei understood that after this wave of attacks, he had to build more Ancient Guardian, and the three intersections needed to be reinforced. Otherwise, if the Bull Demon launched another large-scale attack, it would be difficult to withstand it.
After the Ghoul were wiped out, the Bull Demon dared not approach the Ancient Guardian's attack range. He glared with his blood-red bull eyes, realizing that the situation was hopeless. He glared fiercely at Li Wei, then turned around and retreated with the injured reincarnator.
This battle of offense and defense has come to a temporary end.
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately used the control panel to summon two Wisp to repair the damaged Ancient Guardian. Their health was already critically low due to the attacks from the large number of Ghoul and Bull Demon; if he and Blood Wolf hadn't returned early, they would have been defeated long ago.
In addition to repairing the structures, Li Wei also brought in six Wisp to build six more Ancient Guardian at the three intersections, increasing the number of Ancient Guardian at each intersection to four.
Not only that, Li Wei also upgraded one of the three Ancient Guardian at each of the three intersections to level 2. Green vines enveloped the Ancient Guardian, and after more than ten minutes, they dispersed again, revealing the upgraded Ancient Guardian.
The level 2 Ancient Guardian is even more powerful. After looking at its attributes, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction.
"Ancient Guardian, Level 2, HP 1600, Attack 120-160, Defense 20, with splash damage skill."
The attributes are at least 50% higher than at level 1, and it also has an additional splash damage effect. As a result, it will be much more difficult for Ghoul to deal damage to the Ancient Guardian.
After completing all this, Li Wei returned to the base with the Blood Wolf. At this moment, besides building the Ancient Guardian, he still had a considerable amount of resources left, enough to upgrade the main base.
After selecting the "Upgrade Main Base" function in the control panel, many tiny orbs of light appeared around the main base. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be small sprites, which seemed to be the means to assist in leveling up.
Looking at the time, Li Wei knew that upgrading the main base would take 3 hours. He understood that after upgrading the main base, he could recruit a second companion. In addition, he needed to visit the Item Shop as soon as possible.
Although there are only a few things to do at the base, actually carrying them out is extremely mentally taxing.
Only then did Li Wei have time to call Blood Wolf over and ask why Blood Wolf had suddenly become so powerful.
Blood Wolf was calm and composed, and he didn't lie. He simply told Li Wei the truth about [Extreme Realm].
"Your Bone Shattering Fist has broken through to the ultimate level?" Li Wei was taken aback, but then he thought to himself that the concept of "[ultimate level]" was not limited to him.
Blood Wolf nodded and punched the ground. After the punch landed, streaks of white light gathered and enveloped his fist. When it hit the ground, the white light instantly seeped into the ground and exploded, actually shattering the rocks beneath into stone dust.
"After reaching the [Extreme] level, the attack power of the Bone Shattering Fist increased by more than three times, and the combat strength itself also rose from B3 to A1." Blood Wolf clenched his fist, feeling the power in his body. Although his expression remained calm, a trace of joy could still be seen between his brows.
Li Wei nodded and explained his situation. Having followed the An Hei for a long time, Blood Wolf had also picked up some analytical and reasoning skills. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I think this [Extreme Realm] should be a martial arts skill. After reaching the highest level of cultivation, it can further enhance its power. Depending on the skill's level, the experience points required to break through to [Extreme Realm] vary, but without a doubt, even the most ordinary martial arts will see a significant increase in power after breaking through to [Extreme Realm]."
Li Wei grunted in agreement with Blood Wolf's point of view, but he had further thoughts. "The reason why there is only the concept of 'Extreme Realm' for martial arts is probably because martial arts, among various skill systems, are relatively easy to learn but not very powerful. 'Extreme Realm' can narrow the gap between martial arts and other powerful skills."
Thinking that he currently has two special skills that can be upgraded to [Extreme], Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little longing. He only needs 200 experience points to gather enough to break through to 'Cloud Piercing Palm', and at this moment he couldn't help but feel eager to try.
However, all the neutral creatures in the vicinity had been wiped out, so they could only focus their experience points on the Scourge.
Looking in the direction where the Bull Demon and his group had retreated, a glint of light appeared in Li Wei's eyes. He had come up with a good way to gain points.
"Blood Wolf, what were you thinking when that Bull Demon attacked just now?" Li Wei turned around and asked Blood Wolf.
"Of course I'm annoyed, but the opponent's combat strength is too strong. Just their aura alone is beyond my ability to withstand. Although my Bone Shattering Fist has reached the [Extreme Realm], the martial art itself is quite ordinary, so it's still not enough to deal with a master of the level of Bull Demon."
Li Wei was naturally aware of this, and at this moment he revealed a wicked smile and said, "Although this mission is fraught with danger, from another perspective, it can also be seen as a mission for us to 'farm points.' As long as we grasp the key points, we might be able to gain a lot of experience points. I'll give you a high-level martial arts manual right now. After you learn it, break through to the [Extreme Realm] as soon as possible, and then we'll directly destroy the enemy's base."
After saying that, Li Wei took out a martial arts manual from his pocket and handed it to Blood Wolf.
