Viewer "Invincible Purity King" donated "Hot Air Balloon ×1"!
An enormous hot air balloon appeared on the livestream screen.
Someone had actually sent him a gift?
Zhou Fan immediately beamed. "Thanks, boss! How generous!"
Although gifts weren't why he was streaming.
Who would turn down money?
He might as well take it!
Invincible Purity King: "Just a little gift to boost your popularity. Get to 300 followers sooner so we can watch you take on five at once."
Gifts sent during livestreams could help boost a stream's popularity.
That single hot air balloon immediately brought another 500 people into the stream!
"Huh? Something's off about your stream title. Where's the steamy outdoor action you promised?"
"Are you baiting us, streamer? I thought some girl was being seriously daring."
Many newcomers complained that Zhou Fan's stream didn't match its title.
"I'm outdoors right now, surrounded by mutant beasts. Once the fighting starts, won't that count as steamy outdoor action?"
"Some of you probably don't know me, so let me introduce myself."
"I'm a rookie Esper who awakened just a few days ago. Today, I'm livestreaming a mutant beast challenge."
"If you're new, hit follow. Once I reach 300 followers, I'll livestream myself taking on five at once!" Zhou Fan launched straight into his pitch.
Being a streamer was pretty fun.
"A rookie who just awakened is already heading into the wild? Isn't this fake?"
"Hey, haven't you heard how famous he got recently? He's Zhou Fan, the freshman who awakened a C-rank superpower and beat four people at once. He's stronger than someone with an S-rank superpower!"
"Holy shit! It really does look like him. Is this actually you?"
[Shock +1] [Shock +1]
Zhou Fan said, "Yep, it's really me. One hundred percent genuine, satisfaction guaranteed."
The viewers went wild.
"We actually found the real guy!"
"Everyone, hurry up and follow him! I want to see five mutant beasts take turns wrecking him."
"That's so cruel, but I like it!"
Zhou Fan's follower count climbed rapidly.
Five minutes later, he had over 300 followers!
The stream's viewer count kept rising too, already passing a thousand.
"Streamer, you're past 300 followers!"
"Streamer, you're past 300 followers!"
The viewers immediately began flooding the chat.
Zhou Fan hadn't expected them to come through so quickly.
"All right, since we're past 300 followers, I'll keep my word. I'll go find five mutant beasts right now."
He picked out a camera angle in advance and placed his phone in a tree.
"Hang on a moment, guys. I'll go lure some monsters over."
"A fixed camera might not give you the best viewing experience, so bear with me."
Then he entered the Mutant Beast Forest alone.
This forest was already a hotbed of mutant beast activity.
Sometimes, you didn't even need to look for them. The mutant beasts would come to you.
"Roar!"
Zhou Fan hadn't gone far before he encountered a wolf pack.
Starving, they stared at Zhou Fan with savage fangs bared, their eyes filled with wild cruelty.
There were exactly five wolves in the pack!
"Perfect timing. Follow me."
Zhou Fan slowly backed away, luring the wolves into the camera's frame.
"Here they come!"
"Holy shit! He really lured over five mutant beasts?"
"Are those... Fire Wolves? The most vicious kind of wolf-type mutant beast?"
"He's seriously doing this?"
"He's putting way too much on the line!"
Quite a few people had doubted what Zhou Fan had said earlier.
They'd only been egging him on for entertainment.
They'd assumed Zhou Fan would never actually fight five mutant beasts alone.
Until now.
Seeing that Zhou Fan had really lured over five mutant beasts, they were dumbfounded.
[Shock +1] [Shock +1] [Shock +1]
"Isn't he only first tier, three stars? Even if all five beasts were first tier, one star, he couldn't take them alone, could he?"
"We were only joking! Hurry up and run!"
Unfortunately, Zhou Fan couldn't see their comments right now.
He was facing five mutant beasts.
These five weren't first tier, one star.
Four of them were first tier, two stars.
The remaining Wolf King was first tier, three stars!
Zhou Fan took a deep breath, his Sharingan spinning as it activated.
Although facing five first-tier, two-star mutant beasts put him under considerable pressure, he didn't panic. He remained calm and composed.
He had come here today to hunt mutant beasts in the first place.
Starting a livestream had merely been a spur-of-the-moment idea, a way to earn some emotion points on the side.
Challenging mutant beasts was also a way to hone his own skills.
Killing mutant beasts would earn him Crystal Cores, and absorbing their energy would make him stronger!
"Come on, you beasts!"
"Awooo!"
At the Wolf King's command, the other four Fire Wolves immediately surrounded him.
A wolf pack's greatest strength lay in its teamwork.
A pack's fighting power was entirely different from that of a lone wolf.
A coordinated wolf pack could be considered one of the deadliest groups of mutant beasts!
They didn't charge immediately. Instead, they waited for an opportunity, searching for an opening in Zhou Fan's defenses.
Zhou Fan's Sharingan tracked every wolf's movements.
"Awooo!"
The Wolf King gave a second command.
The wolves suddenly attacked, pouncing together!
Zhou Fan leaped straight up, dodging the pack's frontal charge.
At the same time, he turned in midair, his hands forming hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
An enormous fireball exploded amid the wolves.
The wolves dodged quickly, pursuing him from different directions.
"Fire Release: Earthenware Technique!"
A burst of flame appeared out of nowhere on one Fire Wolf, setting the beast ablaze.
The searing heat hurt so badly that the wolf rolled on the ground.
The other three Fire Wolves lunged at him with their bloody maws wide open.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"
Zhou Fan spat several fire dragons from his mouth. They moved so fast that the three Fire Wolves had no time to react.
Boom!
As though they had solid bodies, the fire dragons sent all three Fire Wolves flying.
The terrifying heat scorched their fur, even cooking the skin wherever the fire dragons struck!
Zhou Fan countered the four Fire Wolves' attacks one by one.
Seeing that none of the pack could defeat him, the Fire Wolf King finally joined the fight.
The Wolf King charged, moving even faster than the first-tier, two-star Fire Wolves!
"So fast!"
Zhou Fan formed hand seals again.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
More than a dozen small fireballs shot out, blocking the Fire Wolf King's path.
Yet the Fire Wolf King ignored the small fireballs entirely, smashing through every last one with sheer bodily force!
Zhou Fan raised an eyebrow. "You're really that reckless?"
Just as the Fire Wolf King was about to pounce on him.
His Sharingan spun rapidly, releasing an eerie, icy ocular power.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"
Thud!
The Fire Wolf King's pupils trembled. Caught directly in the Sharingan's genjutsu, the Wolf King toppled stiffly to the ground.
The Sharingan's genjutsu was especially effective against mutant beasts.
Even the Nine-Tails couldn't withstand the Sharingan's genjutsu.
Let alone these small fry.
The Sharingan was the bane of mutant beasts!
