Chapter 200 - 104: Mosquito’s Breakthrough! Directly Tempering 100 Bones

Chapter 200: Chapter 104: Mosquito’s Breakthrough! Directly Tempering 100 Bones

They were highly disciplined, their movements subtly forming an encirclement.

At the very heart of the wolf pack, a few giant wolves of exceptional size stood like small mountains.

One of them stood nearly three meters tall at the shoulder, its body covered in silver-gray fur like steel needles. A menacing, white, lightning-bolt-shaped mark adorned its forehead, and its disdainful gaze radiated a heart-stopping pressure—

It was the king of these demon wolves!

Surrounding it were several other giant wolves, slightly smaller but with equally surging Demon Qi and overwhelming ferocity. They were, without a doubt, its elite guards, all at the Fourth Grade Realm!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lin Yi repeated the word in his mind, his blood seeming to race.

’So many of them, and a perfect mix of strengths! This is the ideal target!’

He immediately directed his Mosquito Avatar to land silently at the edge of the pack, like a tiny speck of dust.

Then, it began to creep cautiously toward the center—

—toward the Fourth Grade Wolf King and its guards, all radiating a powerful Demon Qi.

He wasn’t here to suck blood this time.

His Mosquito Avatar was currently only at the First Grade Realm. Although thanks to its limit-broken [Flying] skill and the soon-to-be limit-broken [Concealment] skill, even Fourth Grade Demon Beasts struggled to detect its presence.

But its attack power was a critical weakness.

Dealing with a First Grade demon wolf was a piece of cake. But if it rashly attacked a Second Grade one, even if it managed to pierce the tough hide, the resulting counterattack—a violent shockwave of Demon Qi—would likely injure the fragile, invisible avatar.

So, he had to play it safe.

He would have to be a proper Ghost and just leech Experience.

Dancing on the edge of danger around powerful Demon Beasts.

This was all to grind proficiency for his [Concealment] skill.

That was the current objective.

The Mosquito Avatar moved like an invisible dancer, deftly weaving between the massive wolf legs. One moment it hovered by the ear of the Wolf King’s enormous head, the next it skimmed past the cold nose of a giant guard wolf.

The effect was immediate!

[Concealment Proficiency +1!]

[Concealment Proficiency +1!]

[Concealment Proficiency +1!]

[...]

In his mind,

the System’s cold notification tone rang out continuously.

Lin Yi instantly realized that the proficiency bonus the system awarded for operating near a powerful Demon Beast like the Fourth Grade Wolf King was far greater than what he got from weaker Demon Beasts or ordinary animals!

This pack of over two hundred demon wolves was a tailor-made, highly efficient legion of experience farms for him!

’Awesome! This feels incredible!’

Lin Yi was ecstatic.

’At this rate, I won’t even need a full day! [Concealment] might hit the max level of LV10 before dawn and trigger the limit-break condition!’

Once he confirmed that his Mosquito Avatar had entered a stable and efficient "AFK grinding" mode,

Lin Yi’s human body was overcome with a deep exhaustion.

He rose from the sofa and stretched, his joints letting out a series of soft POPS.

The night outside was dark.

The lights of the training camp had grown sparse.

He walked into his bedroom and lay down on the large, comfortable bed, still fully clothed.

He regulated his breathing, allowing himself to enter a half-asleep, half-awake state of light sleep.

This would ensure his human body got at least a minimum amount of rest,

while allowing him to focus the majority of his Spirit and willpower on his Mosquito Avatar in the Taihang Mountain Range, which was still tailing the wolf pack.

After all, the human body wasn’t made of steel; it needed sleep to recover.

The unpleasant task of pulling an all-nighter,

was perfectly suited for the Mosquito Avatar, which didn’t need much sleep.

...

「Time flew by.」

Dawn at the training camp was heralded by a low humming sound.

Six o’clock in the morning, sharp.

A large, sleek, silver-gray cargo drone bearing the "Taobao Express" logo tore through the sky, arriving from the direction of Nanjiang Province City.

It came to a steady hover just outside the training camp.

After conducting a rigorous energy scan and spectral analysis of the contents, the intelligent defense system at the gate confirmed the cargo was simply a large quantity of standard Bone Tempering Pills with no contraband.

The training camp granted it passage.

The drone was cleared for entry.

It deftly maneuvered around the buildings inside the camp,

landing with precision before the courtyard gate of Lin Yi’s villa.

BEEP!

Lin Yi’s wrist communicator vibrated, and a message from "Taobao" popped up:

[Dear Martial Artist Lin Yi, your order (Bone Tempering Pill x 10,000) has been safely delivered. Please verify your identity to accept the delivery immediately!]

Lin Yi was instantly jolted from his half-asleep state.

He did a kip-up, leaping from the bed.

He dashed out the villa’s front door in just a few strides.

The cool morning air instantly refreshed him.

He strode quickly beneath the drone and looked up at the scanning probe on its underbelly.

"Identity confirmed: Lin Yi. Retinal scan approved," a cold, electronic voice announced.

KLUNK!

The drone’s cargo bay slid open. Two thick mechanical arms extended, smoothly retrieving two special alloy cases, each nearly waist-high and gleaming with a cold, metallic luster.

The boxes didn’t look enormous, but containing ten thousand Bone Tempering Pills, they were by no means light.

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes. With a low grunt, his arm muscles bulged as he channeled a surge of Qi and Blood Power. He smoothly lifted the two heavy cases, then turned and strode back into his villa’s living room.

THUD! THUD! The boxes were carefully placed on the polished floor in the center of the living room.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and, with a CLICK, opened one of the cases.

Instantly!

A fresh, medicinal fragrance, so thick it felt tangible, gushed out and instantly filled the entire living room!

A single whiff seemed to open every pore in his body, sharpening his Spirit a hundredfold!

Inside the case, countless Bone Tempering Pills—each the size of a longan, perfectly round, and glowing with the warm luster of white jade—were packed neatly into special shock-proof slots.

’Ten thousand Bone Tempering Pills... They’re all here!’
