Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

…

Name: Wen Xiong

Level: Level Nine Fourth Realm

Experience: 80 million / 90 million

Attributes: 62 Constitution, 99 Strength, 33 Spirit, 61 Agility

Technique: Critical Hit Fist (Precious Purple), Lightning Rush (Precious Purple)…

Equipment: Copper Mountain Gloves (Precious Purple), Berserker Chain Armor (Precious Purple)…

…

The only things that Lin Xuan cared about were precious purple items and skills. He could not be bothered to look at anything with a lower grade.

However, even so, he also discovered that this Wen Xiong was indeed extraordinary.

“His points are evenly distributed. This way, his health, movement speed, attack speed, critical hit rate, and dodging rate won’t be too low. It not only protects his survival ability but also increases his output. This is the standard attribute distribution that is most suitable for survival in this post-apocalyptic world.”

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

Manager Number Two also looked at Wen Xiong somewhat ruefully.

This Ferocious Poison Man was also a good seedling that he thought highly of. Unfortunately, Manager Number Three offered a higher price, and Wen Xiong joined Number Three’s faction.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t save him,” Wen Xiong said helplessly.

As Wen Xiong and the other powerful martial artists stepped forward, they quickly stabilized the situation. The martial artist and the demon beasts fell into a stalemate.

At this moment, several Fire Lions suddenly circled around Wen Xiong, Lu Luo, and the others after confusing them with a fake move and suddenly pounced towards the martial artists that were in the back.

They had already discovered that the martial artists who used the frost technique were the main targets they should attack.

These martial artists were shocked. They had already exhausted their magic power and energy by unleashing those frost techniques. Without the protection of Wen Xiong and the others, they were like little red riding hood under the mouth of a big gray wolf, powerless to resist.

Lin Xuan shook his head.

Manager Number Two had already looked at him several times just now. He felt that if he did not make a move now, he would probably make Manager Number Two very unhappy.

Of course, it didn’t matter to him whether Manager Number Two was pleased with him or not. What he cared about was the right to enter and leave the mystic realm controlled by the Germinal Organization at will.

If Number Two was unhappy and disqualified him, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, he had to attack.

Lin Xuan held two exaggerated shields and rushed over like a humanoid city wall.

When his majestic figure enveloped these martial artists, all the martial artists were so excited that they were about to cry.

Bang bang!

These Fire Lions seemed to have collided with a city wall filled with spikes.

In an instant, blood surged from their bodies, and their aura weakened greatly.

They were all struck by the rebound damage.

Wen Xiong and Lu Luo’s eyes lit up as they hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity and fought back.

The iron fist and the huge sickle attacked consecutively, killing the few Fire Lions quickly. In the end, they were able to avoid a tragic outcome.

Wen Xiong praised, “Shield Ghost, my brother has always admired you. You’re indeed not an ordinary person.”

Lin Xuan was puzzled. “Who is your brother?”

Wen Xiong smiled and said, “Wen Zhuang, he was the one who established the Big Bird Rotation Team in the Giant Rock Cave. A few days ago, he just advanced to the Second Realm.”

Hearing the name Big Bird Rotation, Lin Xuan immediately had an impression.

Number Two also cast an approving gaze.

He was indeed worthy of his title of Shield Ghost. Just like Lu Luo, he had only recently become a Fourth Realm martial artist but was already able to fight demon beasts above the Fourth Realm.

Not far away, Mo Yuan was rather surprised.

He also saw the scene of Shield Ghost defending against the five Fire Lions just now.

Then, he observed something very unbelievable.

He had always thought that Shield Ghost must have invested a lot of experience points into the Ferocious Poison Resistance and a lot of equipment essence into the Poison Medic Set. Only by doing so was he able to defeat the experienced mystic realm king of the Poison Mosquito Swamp alone.

This was the right thing to do. However, the Ferocious Poison Resistance and Poison Medic Set were almost useless against other demon beasts. For example, they would be completely useless when used to face these fire demon beasts.

Once precious experience points and equipment essence were invested into certain skills and equipment, it also meant one would lose the opportunity to invest those resources into other things.

Therefore, most martial artists mainly focused on one or two powerful skills and one or two powerful equipment. They would only level up their other skills and equipment casually and would not invest too many resources because experience points and the equipment essence were too scarce.

According to this logic, since Shield Ghost had a high resistance to ferocious poison, it meant that his fire resistance was probably pretty low. It should only be at the level of an ordinary martial artist.

However, Mo Yuan saw just now that Shield Ghost did not suffer any fire damage at all. Clearly, he had completely defended against the fire damage of the Fire Lion.

This made him very puzzled.

“Could it be that… Shield Ghost has a lot of experience points and equipment essence? That’s not right. No matter how much he has, it would still be impossible for him to have that much! Does he have double the amount? Triple?” Mo Yuan was puzzled.

He could not help but use his Observer skill on Shield Ghost.

…

Name:?

Level: Level One Fourth Realm

Experience: 1,455 / 10 million

Attributes: Constitution?, Strength 39, Spirit 25, Agility 35

Technique: Omnipotent Bone Armor (?), Ancient Tree Bark (?), Thorny Body (Precious Purple)…

Equipment: Earth Dragon King Hammer Shield (?), Earth Dragon Hunter Shield (?)…

…

Mo Yuan was even more puzzled. Most of the information he saw with his Observer skills was replaced with question marks. Even the other party’s name was replaced with a question mark.

Lin Xuan’s heart stirred.

He had just realized that someone had used an Observer skill on him and immediately chuckled.

He had a skill “Weaken” that could reduce his level and attributes at any time and anywhere.

He also had a skill, “Disguise,” a peerless golden grade skill that could disguise or hide the level and grade of all the skills at any time and anywhere.

What Mo Yuan saw through his observation technique was something Lin Xuan had deliberately changed for him to see.

“Hah… they’re finally all dead.”

Lu Luo heaved a sigh of relief and put away the black sickle.

With the addition of Shield Ghost’s iron wall, the martial artists could attack more at ease. In the end, there were not too many difficulties and they successfully killed the second batch of demon beasts.

“Good job. Leave the rest of the demon beasts to me.” Manager Number Two smiled and stepped forward.

The fighters all relaxed.

Manager Number Two was a Sixth Realm martial artist. When a Sixth Realm martial artist faced a Fourth Realm demon beast, it could only be said to be a one-sided crushing defeat.

He could kill most Fourth Realm demon beasts alone.

The reason why he did not help out when the two batches of demon beasts attacked previously was only because he wanted to temper the strength of these fighters.

If all the demon beasts had to be handled by the manager himself, then why would he still need them?

After a short silence, the door of light fluctuated violently again.

It was like a growing flame that was starting to burn more fiercely.

At a certain moment, as if having broken through some barrier, a large group of fire demon beasts suddenly rushed out.

Lin Xuan swept his gaze over and discovered that there were already more than a thousand of them. The weakest was level seven Fourth Realm, and the strongest was at the level nine Fourth Realm. There were also more than 200 of them!

“How long can I last with this number?”

Lin Xuan estimated that if there were only 500 demon beasts between level four to level six Fourth Realm, then he could completely resist them and use his reflective damage output to forcefully kill them.

However, these demon beasts were all above level seven Fourth Realm.

If he could not recover, it was very likely that something would happen to him.

Lin Xuan would definitely not rashly risk his life.

The next moment, everyone saw Manager Number Two take out a golden staff from the storage compartment.

The staff was about a meter long and was made of ancient tree bark. Three runes of different colors were embedded in the top. They were ice white, dark green, and dark blue.

“Great Ice Dragon Art!”

With a roar, an ice-white dragon more than ten meters long suddenly roared and rushed out from the golden staff!
