Chapter 79: 76 Slaughter, Promotion

"[Target creature, Life Level at 7.8, exterminating it can grant Spiritual Nutrients]"

"[Target creature…]" Li Yuan didn't dare to be negligent and expended his spiritual power to quickly conduct an inquiry on the other two Moon Demons.

The results of the inquiries were similar, and Li Yuan's heart steadied.

"This matches the intelligence provided by Lin Lanyue exactly; adult Moon Demon wolves are around Level 8.0," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Once they reach Entry Rank, their body hair will gradually turn red."

Moon Demon creatures, primarily Moon Demon wolves, according to the intelligence, are a major species within the Moon Demon Civilization.

Unranked, their fur and skin are black.

After entering the rank and as they absorb more and more of the Moon Demon's Origin Power, they will gradually turn 'red.'

Once completely red, that signifies a Second Rank Moon Demon wolf.

At this moment, as Li Yuan sensed the aura of the three Moon Demon wolves, he involuntarily felt a hint of revulsion.

"Awooo~"

"Roar!!" The three Moon Demon wolves, with their bodies slightly crouched and with fierce eyes intently focused on Li Yuan, were filled with the intent to kill.

They possessed a high level of intelligence, and in their perception, the creature before them, one that they found 'disgusting' and whose aura clashed starkly with theirs, made them extremely uncomfortable.

However, the life aura it emitted didn't seem very strong.

Three against one, they had a chance of victory!

The next instant.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The three Moon Demon wolves suddenly launched an attack, barking furiously at Li Yuan, and like three black phantoms, they lunged toward him to kill.

"Kill!"

Li Yuan didn't retreat but advanced, moving like a swimming dragon, easily dodging their onslaught.

Following that, the 2.4-meter-long black long spear in Li Yuan's hand swung fiercely.

The spear danced, thrusting forward venomously like a snake.

"Puchi~"

"Puchi!" "Bang~" In an instant, the jaws of the three Moon Demon wolves were all pierced by the spearhead. Their massive bodies, still carrying the momentum, charged forward for more than ten meters before finally crashing heavily to the ground.

Blood splattered.

The bodies of the three Moon Demon wolves convulsed several times before finally coming to a halt.

"[You have slain an Unranked creature, obtaining Spiritual Nutrient, Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 0.7%]"

"[You… Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 0.8%]"

"[…Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 0.9%]" The Divine Palace panel flashed with three notifications in succession.

"Drip~plop~"

The blood on the spearhead dripped down onto the withered wood, splashing about.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, and the last trace of tension in his heart completely dissipated.

He gripped the long spear in his hand even tighter.

Scenes of practicing the spear and punching from junior high school flashed through Li Yuan's memory.

And the thousands of battles on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.

Just as that sturdy man in blue said, six years of preparation were for this very moment.

"Last time killing members of the Fish Spirit Clan was a sudden encounter," Li Yuan mused, "Today, I am fully prepared."

Li Yuan looked down at the three dead Moon Demon wolves.

They were the first batch of Star Realm Creatures that Li Yuan had killed in the true sense of the word.

"Martial Path is, indeed, a path of Slaughter!" murmured Li Yuan, his understanding of this phrase growing deeper.

After quickly regaining his composure.

"Unranked, each kill increases Spiritual Nutrients by 0.1%?" Li Yuan's eyes scanned the Divine Palace panel and he thought, "By that calculation, to reach the upper limit requirement of 20%, I need to kill 200?"

That seems tough.

How many Star Realm Creatures had the military base released altogether into the entire test area? Most importantly, they are hard to find.

Besides, as time goes by and with nearly a thousand students proceeding with the slaughter, the number of living Moon Demon wolves will grow less and less.

"Every one I can kill counts," Li Yuan thought, "Star Realm Creatures aren't as hard to kill as I imagined."

Li Yuan understood that this had a lot to do with the information provided by Lin Lanyue.

He had learned the weak points of the Moon Demon wolves ahead of time.

"Points +3." Li Yuan glanced at the record in the positioning bracelet:

Assessment Points: 3

Points Ranking: 8

Note: Minimum requirements for Combat Assessment not yet met.

...

Li Yuan walked through the mountains and forests, following the guidance from the video, continuously heading towards the gathering place of the Moon Demon Wolf Pack No. 5.

Along the way.

Whether from behind or within the woods, Moon Demon wolves occasionally popped out and charged at Li Yuan.

But none were a match for Li Yuan.

Under a large rock, a black shadow flashed towards Li Yuan like lightning.

"Puchi!"

The shadow of the spear was fleeting, instantly penetrating the head of the Moon Demon wolf. The spearhead swiftly retracted like lightning, and the huge wolf corpse fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

Blood gradually flowed out.

"That's the eleventh one," Li Yuan's gaze swept over the massive wolf carcass. "This Moon Demon Wolf, judging by its speed, it's probably exceeded level 9.0, it unexpectedly increased my Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.3%."

Having killed so many Moon Demon Wolves, Li Yuan gradually discovered.

That killing Unranked Star Realm Creatures didn't always increase it by 0.1%; the stronger the Moon Demon Wolf killed, the greater the increase.

"I hope I'll encounter an Entry Rank Moon Demon Wolf soon," Li Yuan thought with great anticipation.

In terms of Physical Quality, Li Yuan was at 8.9 level.

As for skills, even more so at the Fourth Level.

After gradually getting used to life and death battles,

It could be said that the Unranked Moon Demon Wolves posed no challenge to Li Yuan.

Sophisticated skills, coupled with equipment assistance, allowed Li Yuan to easily overmatch in battles.

...

At eleven-thirty in the morning, at the core area of the Moon Demon Wolf pack number 5 gathering place.

Within the dense jungle, boulders stood erect, incessant roars of Moon Demon Wolves filled the air, fueled by anger and accompanied by the sounds of numerous wolves rushing about.

Swish!

A burly figure, extremely agile, wielding a sword and shield, was frantically darting amongst the rocks, with the blade's flash occasionally driving back a Moon Demon Wolf, but struggled to inflict damage.

Hum—a combat drone hovered silently dozens of meters high in the sky, ready to plummet down and rescue at a moment's notice.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!" Dong Haifeng clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with a trace of fear: "Just killed a few wolf pups, how did it provoke so many Moon Demon Wolves?"

"And those two bastards, seeing the situation turn bad, actually ran away first."

It was Li Yuan's schoolmate—Dong Haifeng.

Looking quite disheveled.

"I only have 8 Points now, if I choose to call for help, the score will be halved, leaving only 4 points," Dong Haifeng thought resentfully, but felt helpless. Alone, with his strength, killing an adult Moon Demon Wolf wasn't difficult.

However, there were simply too many Moon Demon Wolves now.

"Ao~"

"Roar!" As time passed, more and more Moon Demon Wolves joined the pursuit.

The speed of the Moon Demon Wolves was already fast.

Suddenly.

"Roar~" An angry growl, followed by a blurry red figure sweeping across the distant mountains, darting over like a black and red phantom.

Its speed was astonishing.

"An Entry Rank Moon Demon Wolf?" Dong Haifeng recognized it at a glance, his face drastically changed, and he subconsciously wanted to call for help.

Failing the assessment meant a loss of fifty thousand Blue Star Coins.

That was better than losing one's life.

Right at that moment.

"Boom!" From another direction in the Dark Valley, a black figure suddenly burst out, its speed also remarkable, and it charged directly at the massive leader of the Moon Demon Wolves.

"Li Yuan?" Dong Haifeng recognized the face of the black figure, couldn't help but anxiously shout, "Be careful! Retreat, it's an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature..."

He didn't like Li Yuan, but that was limited to the kind of dislike among schoolmates.

He didn't want to see Li Yuan die.

Suddenly, Dong Haifeng's voice caught in his throat, his eyes filled with shock.

"Puchi~"

"Clang!" Li Yuan, as if deaf to the calls, wielded his Long Spear and had already collided head-on with the charging leader of the Moon Demon Wolves. The two clashed instantly.

The clash was too quick.

Li Yuan, holding the Long Spear, moved like a dragon, his speed notably slower than the Moon Demon Wolf leader, yet easily avoided the attack.

After dodging the claws twice in a row, Li Yuan's spear seemed to burst forth like a dragon, whooshing and thrusting violently.

"Puchi!"

The tip of the spear, dragon-like, with tremendous twisting force, pierced directly into the waist of the Moon Demon Wolf through the gap in its scales, blood splattered.

"Ao~" The Moon Demon Wolf leader howled in pain, its front limbs hitting the ground, its hind limbs flicking its tail, as it tried to jump away and increase the distance from the spear.

"Die."

Li Yuan followed through by retracting the spear and stepping forward, his spear gathering force for another ferocious thrust.

This time, with the massive body of the Moon Demon Wolf leader in mid-air and nowhere to use it for leverage, its fierce eyes could only watch as the spear approached. Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Puchi!"

The Long Spear instantly pierced the skin and thrust into the creature's throat, reaching its head.

A fatal blow!

"Boom~" The massive body of the Moon Demon Wolf leader crashed down, slamming hard into a boulder, struggling feebly.

"[You've killed an Entry Rank creature, obtained Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 5.7%]" the Divine Palace panel flashed a prompt.

"Roar~"

"Ao~" The twenty or so Moon Demon Wolves that were initially chasing Dong Haifeng suddenly stopped, staring at Li Yuan with utter terror.

Their strong leader had been killed.

Li Yuan retracted his spear, glanced over at Dong Haifeng's shocked face, and with a slight smile said, "Dong Haifeng, what a coincidence."

"Killed an Entry Rank demon wolf with just two spears?" Dong Haifeng swallowed subconsciously, staring at Li Yuan in utter shock: "Is Li Yuan's combat, this strong?"
