Challenging the Dragon-Level Ancient King

"Ding~ You have obtained the S-Class Rank 16 Metal Bat Talent Skill Experience Card. Talent: Aura, Talent Growth Value 50%. Skill: Savage Tornado."

"Holy crap! 50% Talent Growth Value! I'm rich!!!"

Seeing the description of the newly acquired experience card, Wu Di's eyes immediately lit up.

He knew firsthand the power of Aura, but this experience card's Talent Growth Value actually reached 50%. He recalled spending 10,000 Talent Points and only managing to increase it by a mere 2%.

Yet, even that 2% had brought about noticeable changes in his combat. Not only did the speed of stacking Aura increase, but the duration of its side effects also decreased.

Wu Di couldn't imagine what Aura with 50% Talent Value would be capable of. It would likely boost his attack power exponentially in a very short time.

"Experience card valid for three days, skill usage count: 1."

As expected, such a powerful experience card came with extremely strict conditions, and the skill usage count was only once.

"Doesn't matter, it's enough!"

Wu Di had already figured out the most suitable place to use this experience card. He had been appearing too frequently lately, inevitably attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives.

This went against his principle of keeping a low profile. He might as well use this opportunity to temporarily withdraw from the public eye.

Two days later, amidst the vast expanse of ice and snow, a figure could be faintly seen trekking through the wind and snow.

"This should be the place."

Wu Di's face, marked with three terrifying scars, was revealed from within his loose cloak. He looked at the majestic snow-capped mountain ahead with excitement.

"Time is running out."

Wu Di glanced at the caller ID on his phone. The Hero Association had already called several times in the past two days, notifying him to head to their headquarters.

At the same time, KING's phone also received a message, but Wu Di ignored it for the time being.

"It's about time to start. System, use the experience card!"

"Ding~ Activating S-Class Rank 12 Mumen Rider Talent Skill Experience Card. Talent Growth Value 30%. Usage limit: 1 hour."

Wu Di shed his cloak, and a massive surge of energy gathered in his limbs. He adopted a posture like a hunting dog, dropping to all fours.

Swish~ Wu Di's figure instantly turned into an afterimage, charging towards the frozen snow mountain. At this moment, something deep within the snow mountain seemed to have sensed his presence.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ Several figures shot out from the snow mountain, heading straight for Wu Di, as if to block his path.

"Die!"

Puff puff puff~ Wu Di's hands transformed into sharp claws. With a wave, the attacking monsters were torn in half.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for killing a low-tier Tiger-level monster, rewarding 300 Talent Points."

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for killing a mid-tier Tiger-level monster, rewarding 500 Talent Points."

Rumble rumble rumble~ The ground began to tremble, and countless snow blocks cascaded down from the peaks, revealing the ice beneath the snow.

Through the light, it seemed possible to see a colossal being beneath the ice. Suddenly, a pair of red pupils opened, and the ice began to crack rapidly.

Boom~ A massive body broke free from the ice, looking down at Wu Di below.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, human. We, the Dinosaur Clan, will once again rule this Earth!"

"Dragon-level monster, Ancient King!"

Wu Di looked at the Dragon-level monster, tens of meters tall, his expression extremely solemn.

Ancient King's strength should be comparable to Asura Kabuto, both belonging to the Dragon-upper level. However, his sheer size gave him an absolute advantage in combat.

In the original story, if it weren't for Tatsumaki directly summoning a meteor to instantly kill him, the outcome for other S-Class Heroes facing such a massive size difference would have been uncertain.

Boom~ Ancient King's giant foot descended like Mount Tai pressing down, but with the boost from the experience card, Wu Di, on all fours, turned into a bolt of lightning, darting around the colossal body.

"Annoying insect!"

Roar~ Ancient King roared, and countless flames erupted from his dark brown skin. Wu Di swung his hands, continuously striking, but couldn't even break through the defense of his skin. Helplessly, he had to temporarily leap into the air to evade.

"Hahaha! Die!"

Wu Di's pupils constricted. He saw an incredibly thick dragon tail sweep towards him with a whistling sound.

Boom~ Wu Di felt as if he had been hit by a speeding train. His bones shattered, and his body was instantly smashed into the mountain peak.

"Hiss~ The size difference really isn't that easy to overcome."

Wu Di's appearance was disheveled, but thanks to the Immortality effect, most of his injuries had already recovered.

Thump thump thump~ Ancient King moved towards the city without hesitation. A beam of light streaked past rapidly.

"System, use the experience card!"

"Ding~ Activating S-Class Rank 16 Metal Bat Talent Skill Experience Card. Talent: Aura, Talent Growth Value 50%. Skill: Savage Tornado."

Boom~ An extremely powerful aura erupted from Wu Di's body. He felt as if he was constantly releasing an invisible aura.

"The experience card's time is limited, let's finish this quickly!"

A sharp glint flashed in Wu Di's eyes. With rapid movements of his forelimbs, countless blades attacked Ancient King's massive body.

Boom boom boom~ This time, the attack was effective. Ancient King, caught off guard, had his skin torn, leaving visible wounds.

"It's working!"

Wu Di was ecstatic. With the boost from two S-Class Talent Experience Cards, he could finally damage Ancient King.

"Damn ant!"

Rumble~ Ancient King opened its massive maw and unleashed a terrifying stream of heat.

Swish swish swish~ However, Wu Di's speed was increasing rapidly, becoming impossible to track with the naked eye. He easily dodged the fiery attack.

As he continued his assault, Wu Di felt his aura surge wildly, and the intensity of his attacks grew exponentially. Soon, Ancient King's massive body was covered in bleeding wounds.

"Ground Flame!!!"

Thump~ Ancient King unleashed a torrent of terrifying flames onto the ground, spreading outwards and causing Wu Di to lose his footing.

"Foolish human, die!"

Seeing that Wu Di had indeed jumped into the air as expected, Ancient King's eyes glinted with malice. Terrifying flames gathered once more, this time determined to burn the insignificant ant before it to ashes.

"Full Aura! Savage Tornado!!!"

A terrifying aura erupted from Wu Di's body. Countless sharp blades formed a massive tornado, engulfing Ancient King's enormous form.

Puff puff puff~ As flesh and blood were torn apart, Ancient King's life force gradually faded. Finally, with a look of unwilling despair, it dissolved into a pool of gore.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for defeating a Dragon-level upper-class monster. You have been rewarded with 8,000 Talent Points."

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining an S-Class Talent Experience Card."
