Chapter 37

Luo Chenyu sighed and turned away.

Ahead lay an endless wasteland; no monsters remained—he would have to find others elsewhere to level up.

Right now, his mind was filled only with leveling up and growing stronger.

Shortly after Luo Chenyu departed.

Two figures appeared above the ruins.

"Sssss!!"

Seeing the scene before them, both drew in a sharp breath; one exclaimed, "What kind of powerhouse could have caused this destruction?!"

The other remained silent, pulling a tablet computer from his spatial backpack.

After a series of operations.

The tablet emitted a green laser, scanning the entire battlefield.

Meanwhile.

A virtual panel surfaced on the tablet, revealing layer upon layer of data.

"Tier-8 wind energy, wolf-type ferocious beast—Hurricane Wolf King!"

The mysterious professional held the tablet, muttering to himself: "Energy dispersed—the Hurricane Wolf King is dead. Judging by the residual aura, three adventurers were present: two Tier-8 professionals, and one… Tier-1 professional—unrecorded in the database!"

"What? A Tier-1 professional? How could he possibly have survived this battle?"

"Analysis inconclusive. The AI conjectures the two Tier-8 professionals were likely elites from the Barbarian God Legion—their identities remain unknown."

"Huh… that's fine then."

"The Barbarian God Legion's affairs aren't our concern. Just report the facts to the Director."

"Right. What about that Tier-1 professional?"

"Cannot analyze. Let the Director decide."

With that, the two mysterious professionals carefully surveyed the battlefield before flying toward Longhai City.

……

In the dense forest of Longyuan Valley.

Luo Chenyu diligently cleared mutated Wildwood Wolves for an hour and a half before finally stopping his leveling.

"Time to head back!"

This hour and a half had yielded excellent returns for him.

Perhaps fortune had finally turned—he'd not only obtained three potions, but also dropped two pieces of equipment.

【Wolf Fang Bow】

Quality: E Tier

Level Requirement: LV. 5

Class Restriction: Hunter

Stats: Strength +2, Agility +7

Bonus Trait: 5% chance on hit to inflict Piercing, causing 15 HP loss per second.

Durability: 65/65

……

【Windrunner Boots】

Quality: E Tier

Level Requirement: LV. 5

Stats: Agility +6, Constitution +3

Bonus Skill: Speed Burst, status skill—increases movement speed by 20%, reduces stamina consumption by 5%, lasts 30 seconds, cooldown 60 seconds.

Durability: 65/65

……

Both were minor rare items; the 【Windrunner Boots】 were especially useful and equipable.

As for the three potions—two 【Agility Potions】 and one 【Strength Potion】—Luo Chenyu stored them away for emergencies.

What pleased him most was that the 【Barbarian Bear Shield】 had fully advanced.

【Wild Bear Shield】 (Advancable, Bound)

Quality: D Tier

Requirement: Strength 30

Stats: Strength +10, Constitution +15, Passive Block Rate +5%

Bonus Trait ①: Reduces incoming damage by 50 points.

Bonus Trait ②: Each successful block restores 50 HP.

Bonus Trait ③: Each successful block deals 20 fixed damage to the target.

Divine Blessing: After releasing 1000 defensive skills, can advance to C Tier equipment.

Note: This equipment's advancement count (2/5)!

Durability: 128/150

Undeniably, advancable equipment, once upgraded in quality, grants impressive stats—comparable to low-tier high-quality gear.

Its bonus traits were merely slightly inferior to those of higher-tier equipment.

……

Luo Chenyu traveled westward, activating the 【Speed Burst】 skill to hasten his journey.

At sunset, he finally reached the towering walls of Longshan City.

After a brief inquiry from the guards.

He returned inside Longshan City.

"Phew!"

Luo Chenyu exhaled, wiping sweat from his cheek.

"A high wall, separating two worlds!"

He hailed a taxi and headed straight for Longshan City's trading market.

He planned to visit the trading market and see if he could buy a few combat skills books to train 【Steel Shield】.

Money?

Of course, first sell the Summoner Tier 2 special skill: 【Summon Abyss Beetle】!

Even the taxi fare, he intended to pay with a bottle of 【Agility Potion】.

……

After Luo Chenyu left in a taxi.

In a shop not far from the high wall, a man with a face full of scars slowly stood up.

He went to the car at the entrance and followed closely behind.
