9: The spiritual energy is lining up and rushing into my body!

A Little Skeleton with loose bones all over, barely reaching the thighs of the Snake-Faced Bear.

Unexpectedly, with just one skeletal hand, it pinned down the mountain-like Snake-Faced Bear so it couldn't move an inch!

She was certain that in the next second, she would have completely lost her ability to move under the strike of the Snake-Faced Bear's paw.

Then, along with her very best Best Friend, she would have watched helplessly as she was eaten bite by bite by the Snake-Faced Bear!

That was a complete and utter Hell!

But.

This tiny figure pulled her out of Hell!

At this moment.

That tiny skeletal figure was directly engraved deep within her heart.

At this moment.

That tiny figure was the god in her heart!

Suddenly, she felt a surge of emotion she had to let out!

"Hahaha!"

"It turns out the instructors of the Supreme Academy are all blind!"

"That latest talent testing machine is nothing but a malfunctioning piece of junk!"

"Of course."

"I am too!"

Sun Feifei's face bloomed like a flower.

She slowly walked to Ning Xiwei's side, held her Best Friend's hand, and offered her sincere congratulations:

"Xiwei, congratulations!"

Ning Xiwei's eyes, which were filled with disbelief at the tiny figure, gradually became peaceful as she joyfully accepted her Best Friend's blessing.

Then, she stared intently at the tiny figure blocking the Snake-Faced Bear.

Though the figure was small, it seemed to completely occupy her field of vision.

At this time.

Lu Chen grabbed the Snake-Faced Bear's knee, withstanding its pounce.

Feeling the waves of force coming through his finger bones.

First Tier, Third Stage—is this all the strength it has?

Lu Chen only used fifty percent of his power to completely withstand the Snake-Faced Bear's offensive.

Converting it, this Snake-Faced Bear's Strength attribute was only around 80 points.

This fellow seemed to have a grudge against him.

After roaring several times, it wrestled with him again.

Just as Lu Chen increased his power to fifty-five percent, the Snake-Faced Bear was completely exhausted.

This is it?

It howled until its throat was almost hoarse, yet it only squeezed out seven or eight points of Strength?

So weak!

Lu Chen pushed off with his toe bones.

The entire skeleton frame instantly catapulted four meters high.

Lu Chen aimed his finger at the Snake-Faced Bear's flat mouth and gave a low shout:

"Heavy Strike!"

He chopped down with his index and middle finger bones joined together.

With a crack.

Dense cracks appeared all over the mountain-like Snake-Faced Bear, and blood splattered.

[Infinite Plunder Success]

[Strength +6]

[Obtained Talent: Erosion]

(Erosion: Your power carries a slight corrosiveness.)

Lu Chen landed lightly.

As he turned around, the Snake-Faced Bear behind him let out a crash.

It fell to pieces!

"So cool!"

"Xiwei, your Little Skeleton is simply too cool!"

Sun Feifei jumped up and cheered!

That scene of the enemy falling to pieces the moment he turned around.

It unceremoniously pierced through Sun Feifei's heart!

This wasn't some ordinary Little Skeleton; it was clearly a supreme Demon God from Hell!

Even the kill was so stylish!

She looked at Lu Chen with eyes shining, then looked at her Best Friend with eyes full of envy, and then she pouted.

At this time.

Ning Xiwei also deeply engraved the image of the enemy being annihilated as Lu Chen turned around into her mind.

At this moment.

She only felt incredibly proud!

Proud that this Little Skeleton, who was like family, had finally blossomed with its own brilliance!

And incredibly fortunate!

Fortunate that she had followed the call of her heart back then and formed a contract with Lu Chen.

The frustration and pent-up gloom buried deep in her heart were finally vented!

Lu Chen returned to Ning Xiwei's side.

Seeing the Little Girl still staring at him blankly without blinking.

What?

Is there something on my face?

Or did I get some of that big guy's flesh on me?

No, that guy's meat stinks; I can't have it hanging on my skeleton frame!

Lu Chen checked every one of his bones.

Clean and smooth.

He was relieved.

However.

Looking up, hey, this Little Girl was still staring at him blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

Truly cute.

Couldn't help it.

Lu Chen waved his skeletal hand in front of the Little Girl's eyes.

Seeing the pale white finger bones in front of her, Ning Xiwei finally snapped out of it.

How rude!

To keep staring at someone else's bones!

He's so smart; he won't think I'm stupid, will he?

Ning Xiwei lowered her head meekly, her earlobes instantly turning red, which then spread across her entire face, so embarrassed that her big toes rubbed against the soles of her shoes.

"Hahaha!"

"You two really look like a pair of lovers in the heat of passion!"

Sun Feifei, who had witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but tease.

"You—you're talking nonsense!"

Ning Xiwei rushed up and covered Sun Feifei's mouth, feeling as if the top of her head was about to start smoking.

But she couldn't help but glance at Lu Chen.

What would he think?

Also, being told that by Feifei, I don't seem to... probably... maybe... feel any dislike in my heart.

Ning Xiwei's thoughts drifted away.

Meanwhile, the rain of blood from the Snake-Faced Bear finally made the surrounding Secret Realm monsters irritable and restless.

As for the Spiritual Power condensed from the Snake-Faced Bear's death, it was indeed much thicker than that of Secret Realm monsters like the Horned Wolves, but the moment this Spiritual Power appeared, it split into hundreds of strands and entered the bodies of creatures within a hundred-meter radius.

The other two Snake-Faced Bears were the first to lose their patience.

Although they were afraid of the leader bear's sudden death, they didn't sense any aura that could make them feel fear, and their gazes gradually fell upon the two girls who emitted a fresh human scent.

As for Lu Chen, an ordinary skeleton frame, they had seen plenty.

That's what tender humans look like after their flesh and skin have been gnawed clean.

Roar—

The two Snake-Faced Bears charged straight ahead.

"Watch out!"

Ning Xiwei called out a warning.

Sun Feifei glanced at Lu Chen and felt completely at ease, but she still stayed on guard.

"Blink."

Lu Chen's figure appeared out of thin air in front of the Snake-Faced Bears.

At the same time, he felt a slight consumption of his spirit attribute.

Finding a skeleton frame blocking their way, the two Snake-Faced Bears didn't care at all and charged straight into it.

Fine... you like charging!

"Charge!"

Lu Chen released the skill, turning into an afterimage as he slammed into one of the Snake-Faced Bears.

Boom!

This Snake-Faced Bear directly turned into a cloud of blood mist.

The other Snake-Faced Bear was so scared its legs went stiff, and its massive body fell flat, carving a ten-meter empty trail in the grass.

"Charge Slash!"

Lu Chen turned into a series of gray afterimages again, slashing straight through the waist of the fallen Snake-Faced Bear.

The fallen Snake-Faced Bear was sliced in half.

It wailed twice and then lost its breath.

Two strands of Spiritual Power as thick as rope wafted out from the corpses of the two Snake-Faced Bears, splitting into hundreds of strands and entering the bodies of Lu Chen and the others, as well as the surrounding Secret Realm monsters.

[Infinite Plunder Success]

[Agility +2]

[Physique +3]

The deaths of the three Snake-Faced Bears completely terrified the surrounding Secret Realm monsters, and they began to flee the scene.

Want to run?

Lu Chen didn't want to let these fat resources go.

He instantly transformed into a butcher!

"Blink!"

"Charge Slash!"

"Heavy Strike!"

..."Refreshing!"

"This is so refreshing!"

"Is this what it feels like to be carried by a big shot?"

"Wahahaha!"

Sun Feifei had never seen such a scene.

The Secret Realm was spawning monsters like crazy without any restraint, yet the monsters were often killed in less than a second by a tiny figure as soon as they spawned.

As each Secret Realm monster fell, a wisp of Spiritual Qi was born.

There were monster corpses everywhere, and Spiritual Qi that allowed people to raise their Realm was everywhere!

Often, before one wisp of Spiritual Qi was even fully absorbed, several more wisps would line up and drill into your body!

It's truly too ridiculous!

Ning Xiwei and her friend looked at each other, both wishing they had an extra body.

One body simply couldn't keep up with digesting the Spiritual Qi that was lining up to be delivered!
