Chapter 77

"【Target creature, life layer is level 7.8, kill to obtain spiritual nourishment】"

"【Target creature...】" Li Yuan did not dare to be careless; sparing no spiritual energy, he quickly probed the other two Moon Demon Wolves.

The probing results were similar, and Li Yuan felt greatly reassured.

"It's exactly the same as the intelligence provided by Lin Lanyue; adult Moon Demon Wolves are around level 8.0," Li Yuan secretly thought. "Once they reach the Entry Rank, their body hair will gradually turn red."

Moon Demon creatures are primarily Moon Demon Wolves; according to intelligence, they are the main race within the Moon Demon Civilization.

Before reaching the Entry Rank, their hair and skin are all black.

After reaching the Entry Rank, as they absorb more and more Demon Moon Yuan Force, they will gradually turn 'red'.

Once they are completely red, that means they are—Second-Rank Moon Demon Wolves.

At this moment, as Li Yuan's spiritual energy sensed the aura of the three Moon Demon Wolves, he instinctively felt a trace of disgust.

"Awoo~"

"Roar!!" The three Moon Demon Wolves crouched slightly, their fierce eyes fixed on Li Yuan, filled with killing intent.

Their level of intelligence was quite high, and in their perception, this 'disgusting' creature before them, whose aura was completely incompatible with theirs, made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, the life aura it emitted did not seem very strong.

Three against one, there was a chance of winning!

The next instant.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The three Moon Demon Wolves suddenly roared and launched an attack on Li Yuan, like three black phantoms pouncing toward him.

"Kill!"

Li Yuan did not retreat but advanced instead, his body like a swimming dragon, easily dodging their pounce.

Immediately, the 2.4-meter-long black spear in Li Yuan's hand swung violently.

Spear shadows danced, and the spear tip thrust out, as vicious as a venomous snake.

"Puchi~"

"Puchi!" "Peng~" In an instant, the lower jaws of the three Moon Demon Wolves' heads had been pierced through by the spear tip, their massive bodies still rushing forward by inertia for more than ten meters before crashing into the ground.

Fresh blood splattered.

The three Moon Demon Wolves' bodies twitched a few more times before they stopped moving.

"【You killed an unranked creature, obtained spiritual nourishment, spiritual awakening degree reached 0.7%】"

"【You... spiritual awakening degree reached 0.8%】"

"【... spiritual awakening degree reached 0.9%】" The Divine Palace panel flashed three notifications in succession.

"Drip~ Plop~"

The fresh blood on the spear tip slid onto the dead wood and splashed outward.

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

He gripped the long spear in his hand even tighter.

Scenes of practicing spear and fist techniques time and time again since middle school flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

Along with thousands of battles on the Starry Sky Fighting Network.

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

"The last time I killed a Fish Spirit clansman, it was a sudden encounter," Li Yuan secretly thought. "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 Li Yuan had killed in the true sense.

"Martial Dao is the Dao of killing!" Li Yuan murmured to himself, his understanding of this sentence becoming increasingly profound.

After quickly calming down.

"For unranked ones, each kill increases spiritual nourishment by 0.1%?" Li Yuan scanned the Divine Palace panel and secretly thought: "Calculating it this way, to reach the 20% requirement for the upper limit, I have to kill 200 of them?"

It was a bit difficult.

How many Star Realm creatures were released into the entire assessment venue and military base in total? The main difficulty was that they were hard to find.

Secondly, as time passed and nearly a thousand students killed them, the number of living Moon Demon Wolves would become fewer and fewer.

"Kill one whenever I can," Li Yuan secretly thought. "Star Realm creatures aren't as hard to kill as I imagined."

Li Yuan understood that this had a great deal to do with the intelligence provided by Lin Lanyue.

He had figured out the weaknesses of the Moon Demon Wolves in advance.

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

Assessment points: 3

Point ranking: 8

Note: Minimum requirements for the practical assessment not yet met.

Li Yuan walked through the mountains and forests, following the guidance in the video, constantly rushing toward the gathering place of the Moon Demon Wolf Group No. 5.

On the way.

Occasionally, Moon Demon Wolves would emerge from behind or from the forest and charge at Li Yuan.

However, none of them were a match for Li Yuan in a single exchange.

Beneath a giant rock, a black phantom flashed toward Li Yuan like lightning.

"Puchi!"

The spear shadow flashed and vanished, instantly piercing the Moon Demon Wolf's head. Following that, the spear head was retracted like lightning, and the massive wolf corpse fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

Fresh blood gradually flowed.

"That's the eleventh one," Li Yuan scanned the massive wolf corpse. "Judging by the speed of this Moon Demon Wolf, it probably exceeded level 9.0, and it actually increased my spiritual awakening degree by 0.3% at once."

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

Killing unranked Star Realm creatures didn't necessarily always increase it by 0.1%; the stronger the Moon Demon Wolf, the greater the increase after killing it.

"I hope I can encounter an Entry-Rank Moon Demon Wolf soon," Li Yuan looked forward to it quite a bit.

In terms of physical fitness, Li Yuan was already at level 8.9.

In terms of skill, he was at the Fourth Stage.

After gradually adapting to life-and-death battles.

It could be said that unranked Moon Demon Wolves posed no challenge to Li Yuan at all.

High-level skills, combined with equipment assistance, allowed Li Yuan to easily engage in cross-level combat.

At 11:30 AM, in the core area of the gathering place of Moon Demon Wolf Group No. 5.

In the dense jungle, jagged rocks stood tall, and the roars of Moon Demon Wolves were constantly transmitted, filled with anger, and there were even sounds of a large number of Moon Demon Wolves charging.

Swoosh!

A burly figure, extremely agile, holding a blade and shield, was frantically darting through the jagged rocks. Blade light flashed, forcing back a Moon Demon Wolf from time to time, but it was difficult to cause any damage.

Hum~ A combat drone had been hovering at an altitude of several dozen meters, silent and soundless, ready to fall at high speed to rescue at any time.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!" Dong Haifeng gritted his teeth, a trace of fear in his eyes: "I only killed a few wolf cubs, how did I provoke so many Moon Demon Wolves?"

"And those two scumbags, seeing that the situation was bad, actually ran away first."

It was Li Yuan's classmate—Dong Haifeng.

He was quite disheveled.

"My points are only 8 now. Once I choose to call for help, my score will be halved, leaving only 4 points." Dong Haifeng was filled with unwillingness, but he was helpless. One-on-one, with his strength, killing an adult Moon Demon Wolf was not difficult.

Unfortunately, there were too many Moon Demon Wolves now.

"Awoo~"

"Roar!" As time passed, the number of Moon Demon Wolves chasing him became more and more numerous.

Moon Demon Wolves were fast by nature.

Suddenly.

"Roar~" An angry low roar followed, and a blurry red figure streaked across the mountains from afar, flying over like a black-red phantom.

The speed was astonishing.

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

Failing the assessment only meant losing 50,000 Blue Star coins.

That was better than losing his life.

Just at this moment.

"Boom!" From a dark valley in another direction, a black human figure suddenly rushed out. His speed was also impressive, and he charged directly toward the massive Moon Demon Wolf leader.

"Li Yuan?" Dong Haifeng saw the black figure's face clearly and couldn't help but shout anxiously: "Be careful! Retreat quickly, that is an Entry-Rank Star Realm creature..."

He didn't like Li Yuan, but it was limited to the kind of dislike between classmates.

He didn't want to see Li Yuan die.

Suddenly, Dong Haifeng's voice got stuck, his eyes filled with shock.

"Puchi~"

"Clang!" Li Yuan turned a deaf ear, holding his long spear, and had already collided head-on with the charging Moon Demon Wolf leader; the two sides collided instantly.

The exchange was too fast.

Li Yuan held his long spear, his body like a swimming dragon; his movement speed was clearly slower than the Moon Demon Wolf leader, yet he easily dodged the opponent's attack.

After dodging the sharp claws twice in a row, the long spear in Li Yuan's hand erupted like a dragon, whistling as it spun and thrust, extremely fierce.

"Puchi!"

The spear tip was like a dragon, carrying astonishing torque, directly piercing into the Moon Demon Wolf's waist and abdomen along the gaps in the scales, fresh blood splattering.

"Awoo~" The Moon Demon Wolf leader howled, and the moment its front limbs landed, its hind limbs whipped, and its massive body leaped into the air, attempting to widen the distance from the spear tip.

"Die."

Li Yuan took advantage of the momentum to retract the spear, stepped forward violently, and thrust the spear in his hand with accumulated force once again.

This time, the Moon Demon Wolf leader's massive body was in mid-air, with nowhere to borrow force, and its fierce eyes watched helplessly as the long spear thrust toward it.

"Puchi!"

The long spear instantly pierced through the fur and thrust into the opponent's head along the throat.

One strike, one kill!

"Boom~" The Moon Demon Wolf leader's massive body crashed forward, slamming heavily into the giant rock, struggling powerlessly.

"【You killed an Entry-Rank creature, obtained spiritual nourishment, spiritual awakening degree reached 5.7%】" The Divine Palace panel flashed a notification.

"Roar~"

"Awoo~" The twenty-plus Moon Demon Wolves that were originally chasing Dong Haifeng stopped abruptly, staring at Li Yuan in extreme terror.

Their powerful leader had actually been killed.

Li Yuan retracted his spear and scanned Dong Haifeng, who was wearing a shocked expression, and smiled faintly: "Dong Haifeng, what a coincidence."

"Two thrusts, and he killed an Entry-Rank Demon Wolf?" Dong Haifeng subconsciously swallowed his saliva, staring at Li Yuan in extreme shock: "Is Li Yuan's practical combat ability this strong?"
