"Ding~ Obtained an S-Class, sixteenth-ranked Metal Bat Talent Skill Trial Card. Talent: Fighting Spirit. Talent Growth Value: 50%. Skill: Savage Tornado."
"Holy crap! A 50% Talent Growth Value! I've struck it rich!!!"
The moment Wu Di saw the description of the newly acquired trial card, his eyes lit up.
He naturally understood the power of Fighting Spirit all too well, but this trial card's Talent Growth Value had actually reached 50%. Back then, spending ten thousand Talent Points had only barely raised it by 2%.
Yet even that 2% had produced obvious changes in battle. Not only did Fighting Spirit stack faster and faster, but the duration of its side effects had also decreased.
Wu Di did not dare imagine just how powerful Fighting Spirit with a 50% Talent Value could become. It would probably increase his attack power geometrically in an extremely short time.
"The trial card is valid for three days, and the Talent Skill can be used once."
Sure enough, such a powerful trial card came with extremely harsh restrictions. Its Talent Skill could only be used once.
"Doesn't matter. That's enough!"
Wu Di had already thought of the best place to use this trial card. He had appeared too frequently lately, and it was inevitable that someone attentive would notice him.
That went against his principle of keeping a low profile, so this was the perfect chance to temporarily leave the public eye.
Two days later, a vague figure moved forward against the wind and snow amid the vast frozen wilderness.
"This should be the place."
A face bearing three horrifying scars emerged from beneath a loose cloak as Wu Di looked excitedly at the towering snow mountain ahead.
"There isn't much time left."
Wu Di looked at the incoming call displayed on his phone. Over the past two days, the Hero Association had called several times to notify him to report to headquarters.
At the same time, KING's phone had also received messages, but Wu Di ignored them for the moment.
"It's about time. System, use the trial card!"
"Ding~ Activated an S-Class, twelfth-ranked Mumen Rider Talent Skill Trial Card. Talent Growth Value: 30%. Usage duration: one hour."
Wu Di removed his cloak, and immense energy gathered in his limbs. He dropped onto all fours, adopting the posture of a hunting dog.
Whoosh~ Wu Di instantly became an afterimage and charged toward the frozen snow mountain. Deep within the mountain, something seemed to have sensed his presence.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ Several figures darted out from the snow mountain and charged straight at Wu Di, apparently intending to stop his advance.
"Die!"
Splurt, splurt, splurt~ Wu Di's hands turned into sharp claws, and with a sweep, he tore the charging monsters in half.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for killing a lower Tiger-level monster. Reward: 300 Talent Points." "Ding~ Congratulations to the host for killing a mid Tiger-level monster. Reward: 500 Talent Points."
Rumble~ The ground began to tremble, and countless chunks of snow shook loose from the mountain peak, revealing the ice beneath the snow.
Through the light, a colossal creature seemed to lie beneath the ice. Suddenly, a pair of red pupils opened, and the ice began cracking at high speed.
Boom~ A massive body burst through the ice and looked down at Wu Di below.
"I have waited a long time for this moment, human. We Dinosaur Clan will once again rule this Earth!"
"A Dragon-level monster—Ancient King!"
Wu Di stared gravely at the Dragon-level monster standing dozens of meters tall before him.
Ancient King should have been about as strong as Asura Kabuto, both at Dragon-upper Level. However, his size gave him an absolute advantage in battle.
In the original work, if he had not encountered Tatsumaki, who summoned a meteor and instantly killed him, the outcome might truly have been uncertain for any other S-Class Hero facing such an enormous difference in size.
Boom~ Ancient King's enormous foot came crashing down like Mount Tai pressing overhead. But with the trial card's enhancement, Wu Di ran on all fours, turning into a bolt of lightning as he darted across the massive body.
"Annoying insect!"
Roar~ Ancient King let out an enraged roar, and countless flames suddenly surged from his dark brown skin. Wu Di continuously struck with his hands, but he could not even break through the skin's defenses. Left with no choice, he leaped into the air to evade for the moment.
"Haha! Die!"
Wu Di's pupils contracted as an incomparably thick dragon tail swept toward him with a shriek that tore through the air.
Boom~ Wu Di felt as though he had been struck by a speeding train. Every bone in his body shattered, and he was instantly smashed into the mountain.
"Hiss~ The size difference really isn't so easy to make up for."
Wu Di looked utterly battered, but under the effects of his Undying Body, more than half of his injuries had already healed.
Thud, thud, thud~ Ancient King marched without hesitation toward the city, while a streak of light shot past at high speed.
"System, use the trial card!"
"Ding~ Activated an S-Class, sixteenth-ranked Metal Bat Talent Skill Trial Card. Talent: Fighting Spirit. Talent Growth Value: 50%. Skill: Savage Tornado."
Boom~ An extremely powerful aura erupted from Wu Di's body. He now felt as though he was constantly releasing an invisible fighting spirit from every inch of his body.
"The trial card's time is limited. I need to finish this quickly!"
A sharp gleam flashed through Wu Di's eyes. As his forelimbs swung wildly, countless blades attacked Ancient King's massive body.
Boom, boom, boom~ This time, the attack worked. Caught off guard, Ancient King's outer skin was torn apart, leaving wound after wound visible to the naked eye.
"It worked!"
Wu Di was overjoyed. With the enhancement of two S-Class Talent trial cards, he could finally inflict damage on Ancient King.
"Damn insect!"
Rumble~ Ancient King opened his bloody maw and spewed out a terrifying torrent of flames.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ Yet Wu Di was moving faster and faster now, beyond the reach of the naked eye, effortlessly evading the flames.
As he continued attacking, Wu Di felt the fighting spirit throughout his body rise madly, and the strength of his attacks increased at a rapid pace. Before long, Ancient King's colossal body was drenched in blood.
"Earth Flames!!!"
Thud~ Ancient King directly poured terrifying flames onto the ground, spreading them in every direction and leaving Wu Di without a foothold.
"Foolish human, die!"
Seeing Wu Di leap into the air just as he had expected, Ancient King revealed a vicious look. Terrifying flames gathered again, determined to burn this insect before him into ashes.
"Fighting Spirit, full power! Savage Tornado!!!"
A terrifying fighting spirit erupted from Wu Di's body, and countless horrifying blades formed a massive tornado that directly engulfed Ancient King's huge body.
Splurt, splurt, splurt~ As flesh and blood were continuously torn apart, Ancient King's life force gradually faded away. In the end, he could only turn into a pile of minced flesh with unwillingness in his eyes.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for killing an upper Dragon-level monster. Reward: 8,000 Talent Points." "Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining an S-Class Talent Trial Card."
