69: Chapter 69 passed

"Indeed, her strength is quite good, but she has too little experience. It seems the result is obvious," Mu Cheng noted as well.

Chu Yaoyao had plenty of power... Going head-to-head against ordinary people wasn't a problem, but in the face of an experienced werewolf...

It was simply not worth mentioning!

"Dammit, this werewolf is so strong. If this continues, I'll definitely lose," Chu Yaoyao also realized something was wrong.

Now that you know your shortcomings, what will you do next?

Hearing these inner thoughts, Mu Cheng was naturally in no hurry to act, but waited quietly... to see what Chu Yaoyao would do.

"Forget it... let him do it!"

Chu Yaoyao was very conflicted internally, but in the end, she decided to let Mu Cheng take over and quickly returned to his side.

"Not bad, you even know how to retreat. Don't worry, just leave this werewolf to me!" This was exactly the result Mu Cheng wanted to see.

Being able to adapt—running when you can't win—is not shameful; instead, it can save your life.

"Mhm, I'll leave it to you." Chu Yaoyao was not an unreasonable person.

She didn't snap back at Mu Cheng's mockery but instead accepted the reality... and also discovered where her weaknesses lay.

"This girl is indeed not simple; she will surely achieve great things in the future. Therefore, such a person can only be a friend," Peppa said, quite shocked.

"Let's talk about the future in the future! For now, let's deal with the werewolf first." Mu Cheng didn't care about that.

The werewolf was a tough nut to crack; he had to deal with it first!

Soon, in just an instant, Black Battle Qi erupted from all over his body...

His aura seemed quite ordinary, making it impossible to tell whether Mu Cheng had any strength at all or if he was more than met the eye.

"This kid isn't simple; I'll test him first." The werewolf was indeed an old hand, gripping the black gold greatsword in his hand.

He slashed directly... It looked weak, with no force behind it, and it didn't even tear through space.

"That's it? You should be a bit more serious!" Mu Cheng performed a bare-handed blade catch, clamping the black gold greatsword with just two fingers.

"This... is he that confident? It seems I underestimated this guy before." Chu Yaoyao watched, stunned.

Although Mu Cheng was a Devouring Bloodline possessor, the werewolf was still Rank 8, even if its strength was restricted to the peak of Rank 7.

But this was a bit too confident... He dared to catch the blade bare-handed without even blinking, and with only two fingers.

"Interesting. It seems leaving this godforsaken place won't be that simple." The werewolf also got serious.

Suddenly, an astonishing Battle Qi erupted from his body as he gripped the black gold greatsword with both hands and slashed at Mu Cheng.

This strike tore through space and surged toward Mu Cheng like a giant wave.

"Good timing."

Mu Cheng chose to meet force with force. Releasing his Devouring Bloodline, countless ice swords instantly formed.

"Creation: Ice Sword, go!"

Under his conscious control, the dense swarm of ice swords flew toward the werewolf, a truly shocking sight.

It was like ten thousand swords firing at once...

Faced with such a wide-area attack, the werewolf had no choice but to defend, condensing an energy shield.

"This is the Creation Bloodline? How is that possible... It's absolutely impossible... There shouldn't be any survivors of the Lin Family. You definitely can't be from the Lin Family."

Lin Family? Mu Cheng's curiosity was instantly piqued. "This Lin Family... it seems they are like Yu Xuan, coming from a great clan."

But the question was, why did this Creation Bloodline cause the werewolf such fear?

"Don't overthink it. The Creation Bloodline is passed down to a single heir. From what it said, it seems they were exterminated! However, I don't think things are that simple," Peppa suddenly spoke up.

The Creation Bloodline and the Devouring Bloodline were quite similar—one creates, one devours.

Take Mu Cheng, for example. Although he could use the Power of Creation... he didn't possess the true Creation Bloodline.

Conversely, a Creation Bloodline possessor could also use the power of devouring, yet they didn't have the Devouring Bloodline either.

"Fine! Then let's finish him off." Mu Cheng knew the werewolf couldn't be that simple.

Naturally, he continued to maintain the Creation: Ice Sword to completely suppress the werewolf, giving it no chance to resist.

"Kid... can't you put in a bit more effort? Why use Rank 6 strength when you can use Rank 7? I think you're not using your brain." Peppa suddenly became anxious.

This caught Mu Cheng off guard... but he continued his attack.

He didn't pay the slightest bit of attention to Peppa.

A Rank 6 attack was still Rank 6; it couldn't compare to a Rank 7 attack's ability to shatter the void... but the current Mu Cheng...

He was very clear on this point. Without a wide-area Rank 7 attack, he couldn't suppress the werewolf.

"It seems you're only capable of this much!" The werewolf no longer held back... suddenly, his entire body...

Swelled by at least ten times. The werewolf was no longer a mere werewolf, but a Werewolf Giant.

His height reached an astonishing fifteen meters, and the aura on his body became much, much stronger.

He used his body to forcefully tank the Creation: Ice Sword...

"You... forget it, this isn't a bad way to do it. It's time to kill him!" Peppa finally understood.

It turned out this was all part of Mu Cheng's plan. Creation: Ice Sword was just a probe; the real attack...

Had long been scattered around by Mu Cheng—specifically, the shattered ice swords on the ground.

"Die!" The werewolf swung a fist at Mu Cheng. It looked simple...

But it could tear through space, leaving a massive rift behind...

Unfortunately, Mu Cheng was already prepared. He snapped his fingers and turned around confidently.

"Creation: Extreme Ice, Condense!"

In an instant, the Werewolf Giant turned into an ice sculpture and then gradually turned into ash, drifting over the grassland...

"You... dammit, couldn't you have devoured him? A Rank 8's strength is worth at least a hundred star-glow crystals," Peppa cursed.

Mu Cheng naturally fired back. "Isn't it just a hundred star-glow crystals? What's the big deal? Besides, is this something I can control?"

Everything was already planned, and the trap was set. Now you're telling me to... control it? Impossible!

Shock! Chu Yaoyao was dumbfounded. She never expected that after Mu Cheng broke through to Rank 6, his strength would surge to such a level.

"Doesn't this seem a bit off? Didn't we agree... there would be a reward for a successful challenge?" Mu Cheng had just finished speaking.

Ask and you shall receive... Not just for him, but a Trader page appeared in front of Chu Yaoyao as well.

[Congratulations on the successful high-level trade challenge. The exclusive reward has been issued. Please check it; if needed, you may purchase it yourself.]

"It really provides whatever is lacking. I'm becoming more and more curious... just what is the origin of this Trader?" Chu Yaoyao was shocked.

Without hesitation, she clicked to purchase. It was an energy ball with alternating black and white colors, about the size of a basketball!"
