74: Killing and Rampage
Looking at this mutated Little Devil, Ye Chen curiously checked its attribute panel.
As expected, it had two more talents than other Little Devils.
One was Killing Absorption, which allowed it to absorb flesh and blood during Killing to strengthen itself and increase its power, and also absorb the aura of Killing to enhance its strength.
The second was Killing Power, which made it easier to comprehend Killing-type skills and master the laws of Killing.
...
It seems this is another BOSS template centered around Killing.
Such demonic talent naturally cannot be left to rust in the Abyss.
Ye Chen's mind stirred, and he brought it to appear in the Shadow Abyss.
Killing, who was bouncing and running towards the distant mountain, suddenly found the surrounding environment had drastically changed, and stood rooted to the spot with a look of astonishment.
Looking around, it saw a large number of its own kind practicing Shadow Energy.
Shadow Ball, Shadow Assault, Enter the Shadows...
Killing was very happy to see so many of its kind.
After all, Worms were vastly different from itself; those stupid and weak bugs weren't worthy of being its own kind.
Seeing a Little Devil skillfully using the Enter the Shadows skill, Killing became interested.
This skill is good, this skill must be practiced.
With that thought, it also imitated the appearance of the Little Devil and entered the shadow world.
After only one attempt, it entered the shadow world to the astonishment of the surrounding demons.
Ye Chen was even more satisfied after seeing this; this kid is quite smart, mastering Enter the Shadows so quickly.
Having had one successful experience, Killing tried a few more times, becoming increasingly proficient at Entering the Shadows.
At this moment, the first Little Devil born in the Abyss arena—the one that had absorbed a large amount of Violent aura—discovered this newborn member of its kind.
A shadow flash appeared before Killing.
Killing, who was practicing its skill, suddenly felt something abnormal, and subconsciously swung the bone blade in its hand.
Violent, relying on its super strong Combat Instinct, easily sidestepped the attack, while a bloody light glowed in its hand.
The Demon Claw, carrying a fierce momentum, slammed hard against Killing's bone blade, and with a "ding", the sound of metal clashing echoed in the air.
Only then did Killing react, quickly stepping back and putting the bone blade behind itself, signaling a cease-fire.
However, Violent was relentless, swinging its Demon Claws one after another, not only blocking Killing's retreat but also aiming directly for its vital throat.
The barbed hook at the tip of its tail wickedly stabbed towards Killing's abdomen.
Seeing the danger of this move, Killing wanted to dodge with a shadow flicker.
But before he could stand firm, a stinging pain came from his abdomen, and at the same time, Violent's sharp claws had reached his throat; with just a slight force, his life could be taken.
It turned out that the moment Killing used the shadow flash, Violent, relying on its keen perception of spatial fluctuations, also used flash.
After accurately determining Killing's position, the tail barb immediately pierced into its abdomen like lightning.
Killing had just Evolved from a Worm body, where had it ever seen such a scene? It was caught completely off guard.
Fortunately, Violent was just probing and didn't intend to kill, otherwise Killing would have had to say goodbye to this beautiful world.
Ye Chen had been watching the battle between the two Little Devils, and he didn't expect that the first hundred-win expert of this arena would also give him a surprise.
Today, he successively gained two great generals, Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix. Although Violent is just a normal Little Devil template, who knows what the future holds?
Let the two little ones exchange combat skills through their Combat Instincts, and when the time is right, he will send them out to experience trials and tribulations.
...
The next day, a notice broke the peace of the School.
The School announced that the senior students would face a crucial God Domain exam before graduation, scheduled for one month later.
At that time, admission officers from various universities would come to observe, and those with outstanding performance would have the opportunity to be favored by various parties and gain the chance for exceptional admission.
However, Dawn Middle School is just a middle school in an ordinary city after all, and most of the universities recruiting there are from within the province. To enter a prestigious university, one still needs to participate in the unified exam.
Ye Chen was not interested in this kind of competition; to him, this kind of basic competition was no different from a "baby cup".
However, this competition was not without rewards; participants could receive some decent card rewards based on their ranking.
After School, Ye Chen, having nothing to do, came to the lively snack street, preparing to feast.
He was sitting in front of a stall, happily slurping rice noodles, when Shen Jin casually sat down directly and picked up a fried skewer from the table to put in his mouth.
Ye Chen was full of disbelief and blurted out:
"No... Is this yours? Why did you just pick it up and eat it?"
Shen Jin waved his hand nonchalantly, with a look of disdain:
"Hey, you're too stingy, aren't you? It's just eating two of your skewers, I won't eat it!"
Saying that, he threw the half-eaten grilled kidney back onto the grill pan, looking displeased.
Just then, a littleFat Man walked over carrying rice noodles, saw this scene, and immediately widened his eyes, exclaiming:
"No... Who are you? You ate my kidney while I was getting my food?"
Shen Jin looked at the littleFat Man, then at Ye Chen, pointed at Ye Chen, and said confidently:
"He told me to eat whatever I wanted."
Ye Chen: "..."
On the way home, Shen Jin was still chattering incessantly in his ear.
"I went through all sorts of trouble to get this done for you, and you're saying you're not going?"
Ye Chen was full of helplessness and explained:
"You know I'm still a student. I can't go to the Demon Capital with you now. Later, when I have a chance, I'll definitely go with you."
Shen Jin, however, was relentless:
"You're rambling. This 'later' of yours must have a deadline, right? Is it ten days? Or a month?"
"The headquarters of our Youth Mutual Aid Society is in the Demon Capital. As long as you go, you can use the teleportation array inside as you please. You can stay in the Waste Domain for as long as you want."
Ye Chen raised his hand to stop Shen Jin's nagging:
"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to go anywhere before I graduate. How about you wait until I graduate before coming to find me?"
Only then did Shen Jin give up, muttering:
"Tsk... Alright then. The big exam is in two months, so I'll wait for you for another two months. When the time comes, I'll take you to the Demon Capital to experience the world properly."
Ye Chen casually agreed perfunctorily, not taking the matter to heart.
After getting rid of Shen Jin, Ye Chen wandered around outside a few more times, and only returned home when he saw that no one was following him.
After returning home, Ye Chen checked himself all over and finally found the tracker hidden inside the collar of his school uniform.
As expected...
These two encounters with Shen Jin were too coincidental, which made Ye Chen suspect foul play.
Now it seems that Shen Jin indeed has other intentions.
It seems this so-called Youth Mutual Aid Society is not a good thing either.
What good organization puts trackers on people when recruiting?
However, this tracker is quite good quality; it didn't break after washing clothes several times.
Taking off the tracker, Ye Chen walked out of the room and threw it onto a truck.
After doing all this, Ye Chen felt a little relieved.
However, his home's location should also have been exposed. But what exactly did this guy see in him that made him so eager to recruit him?
Touching his handsome face, Ye Chen seemed to have some realization.
