188: Chapter 04: The Surrounding Beast Tide!
Lin Yuan and the others knew it well in their hearts.
In this black mist, being surrounded by a Beast Tide was undoubtedly more terrifying than encountering a Lord-level Monster.
For the current Lin Yuan, killing a primary-stage Lord-level Monster was no difficult task.
But to fight his way out of a Beast Tide, that would depend on the scale of the tide.
More importantly, once a Beast Tide broke out, it would attract a continuous stream of surrounding monsters to join in!
Even within the Beast Tide, there might very well be Lord-level Monsters!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's expression couldn't help but turn solemn.
He turned his head, looked at Su Muxue, and said in a low voice, "Be careful, what comes next might be a fierce battle."
Su Muxue nodded, her eyes also filled with gravity.
As for Wang Jinze, Lin Yuan didn't give him a special reminder.
After all, this guy's beast soul was just an egg; it would be good enough if he could protect himself during combat, so Lin Yuan didn't expect him to contribute much.
Then, Lin Yuan turned his head again to look at the Little Black Dragon.
This little guy's combat capability could definitely be described as quite formidable.
Don't be fooled by its puppy-sized body; its combat power was actually quite a bit stronger than a primary-stage Lord-level Monster.
If it weren't for the Little Black Dragon, Lin Yuan and the others wouldn't have been able to kill Lord-level Monsters so easily.
Just as he turned his gaze toward the Little Black Dragon, he noticed that the little guy had actually pulled a crystal core directly out of the skull of that giant Tyrannosaurus beast.
Then, before Lin Yuan could even react, the Little Black Dragon casually tossed the crystal core into its mouth.
"Crunch, crunch..."
The muffled sound of chewing came directly from the Little Black Dragon's mouth.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan was momentarily stunned.
Damn!
That's a lord grade crystal core!
On the outside, it could sell for at least ten million!
And yet... it was gnawed on by this little guy as a snack?!
After finishing, the Little Black Dragon lay down lazily and let out a comfortable burp.
Subsequently, Lin Yuan clearly felt that the Aura emanating from the Little Black Dragon had also strengthened slightly.
It seemed that devouring a lord grade crystal core did indeed have many benefits for it.
But even so, Lin Yuan didn't intend to let it develop such a bad habit.
Any lord grade crystal core was worth over ten million; eating this stuff as a snack—even a landlord's family wouldn't have enough surplus food for that!
And Lin Yuan's way of making the little guy remember was very simple.
He reached out, grabbed the Little Black Dragon, and gave it a flick on the forehead, threatening: "You're not allowed to eat things randomly in the future, understand?"
"Awoo—"
The Little Black Dragon whimpered and nodded aggrievedly.
After teaching the Little Black Dragon a lesson, Lin Yuan set it down.
The urgent matter at hand was still to find a way to break through the surrounding Beast Tide.
Unfortunately, there was no reconnaissance-type Beast Soul Master in their team, so they naturally couldn't know the scale of the Beast Tide.
Since that was the case, he could only choose to go all out.
With this thought, Lin Yuan didn't hesitate and immediately began consuming his evolution points to strengthen his own power!
Over these past few days, although it seemed to outsiders that Lin Yuan had been slacking off.
But in reality, only Lin Yuan knew that in places with dense nuclear radiation, he could obtain a large number of evolution points at any time, even if he slept with his eyes closed!
And now, it was time for him to convert all these evolution points into his own strength!
With a thought from Lin Yuan, his long-accumulated evolution points immediately began to be consumed rapidly at a visible rate!
One million, three million, five million, seven million, ten million!
In almost the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan had consumed a full ten million evolution points!
And his own strength subsequently forced a Breakthrough to Beast King Rank Nine Star!
Instantly, the Aura emanating from Lin Yuan surged, making Su Muxue and Wang Jinze beside him feel bouts of pressure.
Wang Jinze looked at Lin Yuan as if he had seen a ghost: "You... you broke through again?"
Lin Yuan didn't reply but continued to silently use evolution points to strengthen his power.
He wanted to take this opportunity to exhaust all his evolution points!
"Phew—"
Dozens of seconds later.
Lin Yuan raised his head and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
Then, his attribute panel appeared before him.
beast soul: Giant Black Lizard
Status: Growth Stage
Talent Rating: SS-rank
Rank: Beast King Rank Nine Star Middle Stage
Height: 32 meters
Weight: 13.7 tons
Attack Methods: Bite, Claw Strike

Remaining evolution points: 0
[Evaluation: You have successfully climbed to the top of the Beast King Level, but you have also fallen into a Bottleneck because of it. You must comprehend your own 'Dao' before it is possible to make further progress and step into the hall of the Lord-level Beast Soul Master.]
All evolution points had been completely exhausted.
And Lin Yuan's own strength was completely fixed at Beast King Rank Nine Star Middle Stage!
With such a Realm of strength, looking across all the New Students of the prestigious schools, probably only Xu Xiao, the captain of Yanjing Beast University, could compare.
However, until now, he still hadn't touched upon the existence of 'Dao'.
Lin Yuan could clearly feel that both Chen Longxiang and Chen Zhushan seemed to have already touched upon the existence of Dao.
Unlike Lin Yuan's method of using the System to cheat and increase his strength, they were indeed true geniuses.
And precisely because they had comprehended their own 'Dao', they were able to burst forth with strength even greater than their current Realm!
Furthermore, this Bottleneck seemed to be something Lin Yuan could only break through on his own.
In other words, without comprehending the Dao, no matter how many evolution points Lin Yuan had, his strength would be stuck at the Peak of Beast King Rank Nine Star!
Thinking of this, even Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
What exactly... is the Dao?
Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because even now, he hadn't found the answer.
However, now was not the time to dwell on these things.
For him, the most important thing now was to lead Wang Jinze and Su Muxue... to break through the encirclement!!
Once Lin Yuan discarded all distracting thoughts, only a sky-toppling killing intent remained in his eyes!!
