68: Chapter 68 Pay-to-Win Warrior, you haven't spent as much as I have!

[Ding! Detected fractures in the fourth and fifth ribs on the left side. Consume 400 mass points to repair?]

Su Ming didn't even blink.

Repair! Must repair!

I'm rich now!

A scalding hot current surged into his chest cavity, and the broken bones clicked back into place.

The excruciating pain between his ribs dropped from a ten to a three, and then to zero.

It took less than five seconds in total.

He didn't even wait for the wounds to fully heal before his left fist landed another heavy blow on the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's nose bridge!

Bang!

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's head tilted, and it spat out a mouthful of blood foam.

Its sharp claws swung down in a fury, leaving three blood grooves deep enough to see bone on his chest.

Su Ming winced in pain, sucking in a sharp breath.

"Repair!"

[Consume 280 mass points, repairing superficial chest wounds...]

The wounds closed up, visible to the naked eye.

No sooner had it been repaired than the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King bit down on his thigh again.

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King kicked hard with its hind legs, fangs biting into his upper arm, tearing off a chunk of flesh.

"Repair!"

[Consume 320 mass points, repairing quadriceps...]

...

Su Ming was like a tireless war machine without pain receptors.

Injured, repair; injured again, repair again.

Every repair burned through mass points crazily, but after every repair, he was able to make the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King beneath him pay an equally painful price.

The Space Steward was still running in the background, devouring the remains of the exotic beast corpses, spending money while earning it.

Su Ming felt like he had reached enlightenment.

What is a pay-to-win warrior?

This is what a pay-to-win warrior is.

Whoever tops up the most wins.

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King didn't know these things.

It only knew that it was going crazy.

As a wind-element Source Beast, its speed and cutting ability were its pride.

But now, it was forced into close-quarters combat with this monster.

That would be fine.

But could we be a little fair?

It had clearly clawed open this human's chest, blood had sprayed out, yet the wound was gone in a few seconds.

It had clearly bitten through his arm muscles, but as soon as it opened its mouth, the flesh grew back.

How is this even fightable?!

What made it even more desperate was that this human wasn't just healing; he was getting stronger.

After every repair, the following punch was heavier, more ruthless, and more precise than the last.

For the first time, the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King felt a clear desire to retreat.

It didn't want to continue this absurd war of attrition.

This human was too weird.

Couldn't be killed, couldn't be worn down, and got more excited the longer they fought.

His eyes were more beast-like than its own.

It had to retreat!

Return to the depths of the mist, return to its territory, heal its wounds, and wait until the power of that beast soul brand completely faded before doing anything else.

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King quickly made a decision.

Deep in its throat, dark red wind-element Source Energy condensed once again, preparing to unleash a point-blank "Annihilation Wind Roar."

It didn't hope to kill the opponent, just blast him away!

However, Su Ming saw the light in its mouth.

Such a blatant "casting time."

Do you think I'm stupid?

Su Ming's hands shot out like lightning, striking from both sides, slamming the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's mouth shut like a hydraulic clamp!

"Wooo——?!"

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's eyes were almost popping out.

Bang!

A muffled explosion sounded in its mouth.

The terrifying wind gale failed to spray out and detonated directly inside its oral and cranial cavities, making its head spin with stars, and two more molars were retired on the spot.

What is this move called?

Mouth-covering kill?

The blood-soaked human in front of it had a smile on his face that made it shudder.

Not mockery, not anger.

It was... joy.

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King suddenly realized one thing.

From beginning to end, it had misunderstood a problem.

It wasn't hunting this human.

This human was hunting it.

A chill ran from its tailbone to the top of its skull.

Run! Must run!

Use every last bit of strength to escape this devil!

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King gathered its last strength in its hind legs and kicked hard at Su Ming's chest!

This kick used all its strength, the quasi-Tier 4 power after bursting, finally kicking Su Ming flying over ten meters away.

It flipped over, didn't even look back, and turned to flee for its life into the depths of the mist.

It ran!

Su Ming stumbled to the ground, his feet crushing the rocks, and he stabilized his stance instantly.

"Want to run?"

Mass Engine, ignite!

Boom!

His whole body turned into a gray cannonball again, shooting out in a straight line.

Over a ton of mass, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, covered the dozen meters in the blink of an eye.

Su Ming grabbed the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's waist from behind, locking his arms.

That most primitive and barbaric bear hug descended once again.

Man and wolf, like out-of-control locomotives, rolled and crashed into the ruins in the distance, smashing into a pile of rubble and crashing for dozens of meters.

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King felt its lower back being clamped by a steamroller.

Its eyes turned red.

If it could shed tears, it would probably be crying by now.

Why are you hugging again!

Let me go! Please let me go!

...

Within the domain of the Pagoda Bone Brake, Shen Qingci's face was already a bit pale.

The bone pagoda shadow around her was much more solid than when it first appeared.

The golden light was also brighter, and one could even see the fine patterns that appeared on the pagoda body after absorbing the wolf blood.

Obviously, the next time she used this move, its power would be even stronger.

But now, she was also reaching her limit.

The energy of the divine liquid injected into her body was rapidly decaying.

Even the [Unbreakable Square Inch] protecting Da Huang was flickering, with less than a minute left at most.

She poured another expensive Source Energy recovery potion into her mouth, her eyes resolute.

Must solve the remaining wolf pack as soon as possible and go help Su Ming.

In the light membrane space, Da Huang watched all of this.

At this moment, besides anxiety, there was more... shame in its heart.

Before, it dared to bare its fangs at this Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King, but now it seemed that the other party didn't even consider it a threat.

It was nothing!

This Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King was ridiculously fierce, and that cheap owner was even fiercer!

What was it? A mascot?

A complex light flashed in Da Huang's golden pupils.

"I am also super brave..."

It cheered itself on in its heart.

Then it honestly added.

"Hmm... I was faking it..."

...

"Time is almost up!"

In the stone rubble ruins.

Su Ming pinned the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King, no longer blocking, no longer dodging.

He knew there wasn't much time left.

The [Unbreakable Square Inch] would soon shatter; if Da Huang came out and was controlled by the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's brand again, all previous efforts would be wasted.

Shen Qingci couldn't hold on for long either.

There was only one way.

Before this thing exhausted its strength, beat it to death.

Su Ming started throwing punches.

Left punch. Right punch. Uppercut. Hook.

No technique.

As long as it doesn't die from the beating, keep beating it to death.

First punch, the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King wailed in pain.

Tenth punch, the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King took half a step back.

Twentieth punch, Su Ming's right finger bones cracked, repaired by mass points.

Thirtieth punch, True Damage triggered once, the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's skull cracked.

Fiftieth punch, Su Ming's forearm fractured, continued to repair.

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King was thoroughly enraged by this suicidal fighting style and began to fight for its life.

It frantically bit Su Ming's shoulders, chest, and arms.

Su Ming just wouldn't retreat.

Seventieth punch.

Su Ming was covered in blood, his own, the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's, mixed together, indistinguishable.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

Why is the True Damage trigger rate so low!

Thirty percent probability! What happened to the thirty percent!

One trigger every ten punches, two triggers every thirty punches...

Was this probability designed by Zhao Kuo? It specifically scams his own people.

Forget it.

Beat it to a hundred punches, it should be dead.

Eightieth punch.

Eighty-fifth punch.

Ninetieth punch.

Su Ming's right fist smashed into the hideous old scar on the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's forehead.

[Mass Resonance]!

An invisible shockwave followed the crack in the wound and poured frantically into the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's cranium!

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's body stiffened suddenly.

[True Damage], triggered!

Su Ming felt that special feedback from his fist.

No resistance, no buffer, the power was poured in 100%.

"Again!"

Ninety-first punch!

Su Ming's right fist followed closely, smashing down again in almost the same spot!

[Mass Resonance] stacked with [True Damage]!

This time, there was no dull impact sound, nor the crisp sound of bone cracking.

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's skull collapsed silently, as if smashed hard from the inside by an invisible giant hammer.

Blood mixed with gray-white brain matter sprayed from its seven orifices, its massive body twitched violently twice, and then it collapsed to the ground with a boom.

In the dark red vertical pupils, the light extinguished bit by bit.

The Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King. Dead.

Su Ming rode on its body, panting heavily.

He didn't have a single piece of intact skin on his whole body. But the curve of his mouth was wider than ever.

"Ninety-one punches..."

"Damn it, I really had to round it up."

Before his voice even faded, another mutation occurred.

From the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's corpse, a dark red phantom shrieked and rushed out, condensing into the vague outline of the two-headed giant wolf, dragging a broken energy trail, and shot frantically into the depths of the mist.

The beast soul brand was trying to run!

"Run?"

A red light surged in Su Ming's eyes.

"My seven thousand mass point membership fee, if you run, who will reimburse me?"

His blood-soaked right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing that twisting and struggling dark red beast soul.

The moment his palm closed, the beast soul let out a shrill shriek, twisting frantically, trying to break free.

Su Ming clenched his hands.

The dark red light leaked frantically from between his fingers, scorching his palms with bursts of stinging pain.

A few seconds later, the beast soul's struggle gradually weakened, and finally, it condensed in his palm into a walnut-sized crystal with dark red patterns burning on its surface.

At the same time, not far away, the void talisman [Unbreakable Square Inch] protecting Da Huang made a series of "crack" sounds like shattering glass, and when the time was up, it completely disintegrated.

In the smoke and dust, only the last six wolves remained in front of Shen Qingci. They were clearly in a panic the moment the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King died, and two had already run away.

She knew that Su Ming had won.

She nodded at Da Huang, who had just broken free.

"Awooo!"

A giant mastiff with a golden body and eyes burning with the flames of revenge turned into an arrow leaving the bow, rushing towards the direction where Su Ming was.

Without the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King's bloodline suppression, the injury on Da Huang's leg was no longer a problem, and the wildness in its eyes was more intense than ever before.

...

Su Ming was kneeling in front of the huge corpse of the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King, exhausted.

He had just spent nearly a thousand mass points to repair all the injuries, big and small, all over his body.

He panted, looking at the beating beast soul brand in his hand.

[Ding! Detected residual beast soul brand of Tier 4 Source Beast "Crimson Flame Two-Headed Wolf."]

Just then, Da Huang arrived.

It first glanced at the huge corpse of the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King on the ground.

Then, "Awooo! Awooo!" it barked twice, emboldening itself.

Then it immediately ran to Su Ming, nuzzling its head over and licking him all over.

Both affectionate and worried.

Su Ming pushed it away with a disgusted face.

"Alright, alright, there's more saliva than blood—get away."

Da Huang didn't listen and licked even harder.

Then it licked Su Ming's left hand.

To be precise, it licked the hand he was holding the beast soul brand with.

Its tongue touched the surface of the crystal.

A mutation occurred.

The dark red beast soul phantom suddenly exploded, turning into red debris filling the sky, whistling and pouring into Da Huang's mouth.

Da Huang's body stiffened suddenly.

Dark red light exploded from its body, and its fur stood on end.

The scab on the old wound on its hind leg fell off with a snap, and under the newly grown skin, golden-red patterns faintly wandered.

Su Ming's eyes widened.

"Damn, you're kill-stealing, right?!"

Da Huang looked at him innocently, then let out a suppressed low growl, curling up on the ground in pain.

The next second, dark red flames gushed out from its body, wrapping it into a huge blood cocoon.

Dark red and golden patterns on the cocoon wall flickered alternately, and an aura far exceeding Tier 2 was brewing inside.

Su Ming staggered to his feet, looking at the blood cocoon, and grinned.

It looks like it's going to evolve too.

Fine, I'll reward you.

Hope it's useful after it evolves.

At least it should be able to carry a person...

Not far away, a figure rushed out of the mist with a fragrant breeze.

Shen Qingci was carrying the cold edge.

Her beautiful face was full of worry, her eyes slightly red, her nano combat suit was torn in several places, and her fair arms were covered in bloodstains.

Obviously, she hadn't had time to deal with her own injuries and rushed over immediately.

In her mind, Su Ming's injuries must be much worse than hers.

She had watched the whole battle just now.

Su Ming had been bitten through the shoulder, chest torn, and back clawed by the Red-maned Wind-blade Wolf King, losing at least two liters of blood.

She had prepared for the worst when she ran over.

Then she saw Su Ming's state clearly.

His upper garment was long gone.

His whole body was covered in dried bloodstains.

But... where were the wounds?

She circled around Su Ming.

None.

Not a single wound!

Shen Qingci's brain buzzed.

She even stuttered when she spoke.

"You... you you you... you killed a quasi-Tier 4 exotic beast, and you're not even injured!?"

"Huh? How could I not be injured. Look, it even scratched me red..."

"..."
