Chapter 29: The Horror of the Spiritual System!

"My current spiritual power can be projected fifty meters; the level shouldn't be low…"

Lu Jing recalled the level classifications for spiritual‑type Talent Endowed individuals in his mind, estimating that he should be above the Second Realm.

"The Talent Endowed Association has equipment specifically for testing spiritual power; there might be a chance to test it."

Before that, he still needs to hunt more Demon Beasts; the Colorless Crystal Blocks are consumed too quickly.

He shut the truck door and sprinted toward the location where the Shadow Wolves had just been detected.

His steps were swift, like a cannonball fired from a barrel.

Each step covered seven or eight meters, and fifty meters was reached in an instant.

"Just now I applied the thrust method of fire power to my feet, and I didn't expect it could increase speed!"

"Awooo~!"

The three Shadow Wolves that were lurking, waiting for prey, were startled by Lu Jing's sudden appearance.

After confirming that Lu Jing was alone, they bared their teeth and snarled at him.

"A Second‑Rank Demon Beast Shadow Wolf, another six Colorless Crystal Blocks, I'll reluctantly accept it."

Before Lu Jing could finish speaking, one Shadow Wolf charged at him first.

Its speed was extreme, its limbs barely leaving the ground, looking as if it were skimming the earth.

Shadow Wolves are famed for their speed, often appearing in packs, making them very hard to deal with.

Moreover, these Demon Beasts hold grudges; once provoked, they will attack relentlessly.

"Right on time!"

Lu Jing, wielding the Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword, stomped the ground and rushed toward the three charging Shadow Wolves.

His arm muscles bulged as he swung a slash.

"Clang!"

A flash of purple light appeared, accompanied by a crisp blade ringing.

The Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword flashed, decapitating a Shadow Wolf.

The massive head rolled on the ground, blood gushing from its neck and splattering everywhere.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Lu Jing slashed again and again.

Each strike was delivered with full force.

The remaining two Shadow Wolves couldn't withstand Lu Jing's fierce attacks, crimson blood splattering fourfold.

One Shadow Wolf let out a sudden, mournful howl toward the sky before dying, its eerie sound carrying far.

In the next moment, its body was split in two.

The scene was so gory it reached the point where a mosaic was required.

【Congratulations, host, for killing a Second‑Rank Demon Beast Shadow Wolf, obtaining 2 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

【Congratulations, host, for killing a Second‑Rank Demon Beast Shadow Wolf, obtaining 2 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

By consecutively killing three Shadow Wolves, Lu Jing obtained six Colorless Crystal Blocks.

"Continue!"

Lu Jing, wielding the Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword, traversed the Huāngshén Cónglín, using his spiritual power to search for Demon Beasts hidden in the shadows.

Until near dusk, the hazy mist rolled over the mountains, and the newly risen moon could be faintly seen.

Only then did Lu Jing stop, returning to the truck to rest.

The entire Huāngshén Cónglín was like a painting, dead silent.

"Today was so fulfilling; in one day I killed ten First‑Rank Demon Beasts, twenty Second‑Rank Demon Beasts..."

Even with Lu Jing's abundant Blood Qi, he felt his body was a bit weary.

He rummaged out a crate of beer and some dry rations from the cargo compartment.

He popped the bottle cap, and a fresh beer aroma filled the cabin.

"These members of the Xuánwǔ Shòuliè Tuán really know how to enjoy themselves..."

Lu Jing tipped his head back and downed half a bottle of beer.

It was late summer, early autumn.

The icy drink instantly soothed his previously tired body.

Lu Jing was happily drinking in the truck, completely unaware that a dense swarm of red glows had already surrounded him a hundred meters ahead of the truck.

"Awooo~!"

"Awooo~!"

From outside the truck came a series of overlapping wolf howls.

In the deep forest at dusk, the frost moon hung high.

The mournful wolf howl trembled long, sounding especially piercing in the quiet forest.

Lu Jing snapped to alertness, projecting his spiritual power outward.

Dozens of pairs of eyes glowing red, Shadow Wolves surrounded him from all sides.

"Truly the most grudging Demon Beasts, they must be avenging those three Shadow Wolves just now."

Lu Jing frowned slightly, not expecting any Demon Beast to come knocking.

"If you love holding grudges, then I'll wipe you all out."

Lu Jing opened the truck door and jumped out.

The moment he stepped out, he heard rustling sounds from all directions.

Three larger shadow wolves slowly approached Lu Jing.

Wolves were also approaching from other directions, surrounding him.

Dense blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Lu Jing, as if wanting to devour him alive.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, they would surely panic in this situation.

Numbers can sometimes cause a qualitative change; two fists struggle against four hands.

Once a fight breaks out, these shadow wolves, who habitually hunt together, will launch attacks from all directions, impossible to defend against.

However, for Lu Jing, who is a Spiritual System Talent Endowed, this is practically a free gift of Colorless Crystal Blocks delivered to his door.

All that could be seen was Lu Jing turning into an afterimage.

He constantly weaved through the wolf pack.

Blade light flashed, and the shadow wolves fell one after another.

【Congratulations to the host for slaying a Second-Rank Demon Beast Shadow Wolf, obtaining Colorless Crystal Block*2!】

【Congratulations to the host for slaying a Second-Rank Demon Beast Shadow Wolf, obtaining Colorless Crystal Block*2!】

Pleasant kill notification sounds kept ringing.

Although each shadow wolf only yields two Colorless Crystal Blocks, little by little it adds up.

In no time, Lu Jing had already killed ten of them.

"Awoo~!"

At that moment, a deep wolf howl came from afar.

As the wolf howl rang out, the shadow wolves surrounding Lu Jing suddenly became energized, and their formation began to shift.

"Was the Wolf King just directing the formation?"

Lu Jing's eyes lit up; the Shadow Wolf King is a Third-Rank Demon Beast, capable not only of commanding the wolf pack but also possessing terrifying solo combat ability.

This instantly ignited Lu Jing's fighting spirit.

"Let's take care of these little fry first."

Lu Jing abruptly halted his forward stride, trampling a deep pit into the grass beneath his feet as his Thousand-Blade Demon Sword flipped in his hand.

The next moment, countless dark-purple blades shot forth.

"Whoosh——"

A sharp tearing-through-air sound rang out, causing the ears of all shadow wolves preparing to attack to flatten, and an invisible pressure made them tremble.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

The blades intertwined and crisscrossed through the wolf pack, dense as a net, moving so fast it was dazzling.

Only the clanging sound of blades piercing the shadow wolves' tough flesh could be heard.

Not long after, the grass beside Lu Jing was stained red with blood, and limbs and flesh were scattered everywhere.

In just a few seconds, twenty shadow wolves had been completely slaughtered.

Lu Jing flipped the sword hilt again, and the blades spinning in the air converged together like swallows returning to their nests.

"Swish swish swish!"

The Thousand-Blade Demon Sword reassembled once more, flowing light swirling, smooth as a mirror.

A strong wind lifted Lu Jing's bangs, letting them fly wildly.

Not far away, a pure white wolf stood in the moonlight, its fur bristling like spikes.

"Awoo~!"

A mournful howl came.

The Shadow Wolf King seemed to be mourning its fallen companions.
