Chapter 433 - 309: Wolf-headed Monster, Black Scale Double Blade, Flower Knight

["Not good!"]

[Without a word, Luo Yi grabbed Eve and dashed through the dense fog.]

[It was usually safe at Lily High School; Miss Delilah needed to socialize with noble ladies, and he, as the "sharp blade," didn’t need to provide close protection. Before school ends, he only needed to quietly cultivate in this small grove, waiting for news.]

[Crunch.]

[Crunch.]

[That was the sound of claws scratching against stone slabs, each step accompanied by the excruciating sound of metal scraping.]

[Suddenly, the white mist ahead started surging.]

[A strong gust came rushing from the front, something was quickly approaching Luo Yi.]

[But in the dense fog, one could only see up to three meters; vision was limited, and Luo Yi could only rely on instinct and sound to judge.]

[Swoosh!]

[Luo Yi’s blade sliced through the fog, yet in the next moment—]

[Clang—!!]

[The explosive clash of metal made eardrums ache, sparks flew amid the milky white haze. The sword delivered a violent counter-shock, tearing the tiger’s mouth instantly, and blood trickled down the handle.]

["Steel armor?"]

[Luo Yi’s pupils narrowed, seeing the serrated notch already appeared on his training-use standard longsword, the blade curled, turning into scrap metal.]

[Without hesitation, he turned and lashed out with a whip-like kick. With a muffled "bang," a heavy body was sent flying, and the splintering sound of breaking tree trunks echoed sharply through the fog.]

["Yi, Yi, your hand..."]

[Eve’s trembling voice came from behind.]

[Blood dripped from the fingertips of the young man, yet Luo Yi seemed unaware, staring fiercely at the surging wall of fog ahead.]

[Tap.]

[The sound of viscous liquid dripping grew closer.]

[Suddenly, two gigantic claws covered in black scales tore through the fog barrier, followed by a menacing wolf head—the creature’s saliva drooped between its fangs, dripping onto the stone slab. It stood over two meters tall, its body was covered in pitch-black scales, shoulders draped with some kind of moldy fur.]

[The most horrifying part was—its claw was hooked with a blood-stained fragment of a Lily High School uniform.]

["What kind of monster?!"]

[Luo Yi’s pupils constricted abruptly, neck tendons bulging, and he fiercely hurled the shattered sword handle at the wolf-headed monster’s face!]

[—That was its only weak point unshielded by black scales.]

["Roar—!"]

[The wolf-headed monster howled in pain, saliva flying.]

[Luo Yi seized the moment, his figure shot out like an arrow, left hand forming a claw, directly targeting the monster’s neck!]

[Boom!]

[Boom!!]

[The "blood" of the Three-Blood Knight surged through the veins, hot and blazing, every inch of muscle tensed like steel.]

[Slash!]

[Luo Yi’s fingers cut like knives, actually managing to pierce into the seam between the soft scales connecting face and torso!]

[Blood gushed!]

[The enraged monster swung its claws, Luo Yi dodged sideways but was still scraped under the ribs by the edge of the scale armor, clothes torn, skin flayed open.]

[Taking the opportunity, Luo Yi leapt up, swinging his right leg like a battle axe, heel smashing into the monster’s nose bridge!]

[Without a steel blade, engaging in close combat with such a monster meant every contact was a life-or-death gamble. But after discovering his power equivalent to it, Luo Yi had become utterly calm.]

[Gradually syncing breathing with heartbeat, every breath made the Source Blood within surge even more violently.]

[In the distance, Eve’s cries pierced the fog. Nearby, his heart pounded like thunder. Between lips and teeth, the metallic taste of blood perpetually seeped—none of this disturbed his Heart Spirit, instead forged amid battle intent into the purest killing intent.]

["Die!"]

[Luo Yi growled, struggling and fighting within the dense fog against the wolf-headed monster. His fingers hooked ruthlessly, ripping off a patch of black scale, dark blood sprayed out, scorching his arm red.]

[The monster howled in pain, claws flailing wildly, but was dodged by him lowering his body, countering with an elbow strike.]

[Slash!]

[Luo Yi’s arm thrust entirely into the monster’s wound, fingers probing in the slick innards until he finally grasped a pulsating core blood vessel—a full-force tug pulled out a mass of writhing flesh.]

[The wolf-headed monster let out a piercing wail, its massive body crashed down, twitched a few times, then fell silent.]

[Luo Yi knelt in the blood pool, panting, suddenly felt something within him "crack" and shatter—]

[The dark red markings beneath his skin suddenly surged, spreading crazily like a living thing, covering his entire body in an instant. A rending pain swept over him, as though every bone was restructuring, every drop of blood igniting.]

[Luo Yi clenched his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, yet this agony came and went swiftly, receding like tide, replaced by an unprecedented surge of power.]

["Just this easily broken through? This is Source Blood..."]

[Luo Yi stared dumbfounded at his bloodstained palm—the originally gouged-open wound was healing at a conspicuous rate.]

[Heart pounded heavily, blood surged like molten lava—that was Source Blood flowing through his body!]

[Luo Yi slowly stood, his entire skeleton issued crisp explosions.]

[Amid the life-and-death struggle, his blood boiled, unleashing all body potential, instantly condensing Source Blood—initial estimates showed his power increased by at least threefold; meanwhile, skin became extraordinarily tough, akin to leather, ordinary people holding blades couldn’t cut through him.]

[Luo Yi was now an Official Knight.]

[In the Ancient Empire, regardless of identity, whether commoner, slave, even Black-eyed Race—simply approach the "Holy Hall," immediately granted noble "Knight" status.]

["Yi!" Eve called, "Direction of the school building... even more!"]

[The young knight snapped his head around.]
