Chapter 48

Xiao Yu appears, along with the Octopus Beast Emperor.

Xiao Yu and Babata appear.

Xiao Yu and Hong appear.

Xiao Yu flew to an altitude of twenty thousand meters, rushing quickly toward the Atlantic, like a humanoid flash of lightning.

Xiao Yu appears with the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

A black‑haired man appears.

Suddenly the black‑haired man looked up at the sky; the two locked eyes and smiled at each other.

"Xiao Yu, Stellar-level speed is truly enviable!" Hong laughed, and from Xiao Yu's previous battle videos he naturally inferred that Xiao Yu had already broken through to Stellar-level.

"Hong, leave that kilometer‑long Thunder Dragon Emperor down there to me!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiao Yu vanished, leaving only a tunnel straight to the seabed, with faint lightning continuously flickering.

Xiao Yu gazed at the Beast Emperor on the seabed that resembled a divine dragon; its size was like a mythic dragon coiling over a kilometer, its body covered with extremely hard dragon scales, and massive lightning roiled over those scales.

This Thunder Dragon Emperor's power exceeds Planetary-level Sixth Tier; underwater it can slay a Planetary-level Sixth Tier strongman, and even Hong, who possesses a Domain, would be gravely wounded when confronting it underwater.

Unfortunately, the one facing it today is Xiao Yu, a Stellar-level powerhouse with a genetic multiplier of fifteen times and an amplitude of ten times.

The moment the Thunder Dragon Emperor saw Xiao Yu, it fled at high speed; perhaps it understood it was no match and had no intention of engaging.

"Xiao Yu, this Thunder Dragon Emperor's intelligence is not low, higher than ordinary humans; seeing you it knows to flee." Baba Ta said.

A King‑Level Monster appears.

Xiao Yu's body moved like lightning, weaving among one King-level monster after another.

Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—boom, eight massive shockwaves churned the sea as if it were boiling.

Those eight King-level monsters sank to the seabed.

Xiao Yu continued to chase the Thunder Dragon Emperor, and countless Lord-level and King-level monsters blocked the way, yet none could stop him.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu stood on the Thunder Dragon Emperor's head, ignoring the faint flickering lightning.

Xiao Yu appears with Sky Thunder Blade and the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

Xiao Yu appears with the Thunder Dragon Beast Emperor.

Xiao Yu, Hong, and Luo Feng appear; the HR Alliance and Muyejing also appear.

It seems Hong is very covetous of the Wood Sprite Crystal!

The HR Alliance and Isa Donana appear, as do Luo Feng, the Five Great Nations, and Muyejing.

Xiao Yu appears with the Spirit of Plants and Trees.

The Xiao family appears.

Uncle Xiao Guohua and third uncle Xiao Guoxuan appear.

Elder sister Xiao Ling appears.

With these plant spirits, the Xiao Family's strength will reach a higher level.

Hong and Star Dust appear.

"Alright, Hong, then I'm off!" Xiao Yu dragged the kilometer‑long corpse and flew toward the nearest small island.

Hong also entered the fighter; the blood‑red triangular craft followed Xiao Yu.

In a moment, he saw a desolate island of nearly fifty square kilometers, inhabited by several Lord-level monsters.

The Stellar-level aura surrounding him no longer concealed him; the air roiled, and dozens of Lord-level monsters fled back into the ocean.

He placed the Thunder Dragon Beast Emperor's corpse on the island.

"Hong, the coordinates for storing the Thunder Dragon Beast Emperor's corpse have been sent to you; for the follow‑up, send someone to handle it, I'll leave it at that," Xiao Yu said.

The Beast Emperor's body is of great value to humanity.

Wu Island appears, as does the Octopus Beast Emperor.

Hong also did not shortchange Xiao Yu; each Beast Emperor's corpse was priced at 30 Stars, comparable to 1.5 Wood Sprite Crystals.

Xiao Yu appears in Jiangnan Base City.

Xiao Yu's parents appear.

The television was reporting news of Xiao Yu consecutively slaying three Beast Emperors.

Xiao Yu, Xiao Dingguo, and Zhang San appear.

Xiao Dingguo, Xiao's father, proudly said: "My son is the world's number‑one strongest. Son, I am proud of you!"

After Xiao Yu killed two Ocean Beast Emperors, a strange peace fell between humans and monsters, and neither side launched any intense actions.

For the human side it was still manageable, since they had previously obtained a large amount of Wood Sprite Crystals; to act, they first needed to convert those gains into combat power.

Yangzhou City appears, along with the Extreme Hall and the training room.

"Baba Ta, constantly monitor the movements of the ocean monsters," Xiao Yu instructed.

"Alright, Xiao Yu, what are you up to now? I don't want to go into the little black room!" Baba Ta protested.

The system appears.

The system appears.

【First Wish: Amplitude increased to 30 times (24,570 Wish Silver Coins).】

"System, check remaining Wish Points."

【Remaining: 5,287 Wish Silver Coins, 8,595 Wish Copper Coins.】

Xiao Yu appears with the Space Ring and the Universe Crystal.

"System, absorb 200 cubic meters of Universe Crystal."

The system, Universe Primordial Energy, and Wish Gold Coins appear.

"The system realizes the First Wish."

24570 Wish Silver Coins have been deducted.

The wish is being fulfilled…

A colorless energy descended from the void, enveloping the entire training hall.

Xiao Yu unconsciously fell into a deep sleep; he suddenly rose and kept practicing various techniques—blade forms, body moves, and fist methods—at a very rapid speed.

Like Space-Time Acceleration.

……

In Virtual Space, a Babata clone kept smashing bottles on the table, muttering angrily, "You let me monitor external developments, yet you block me!"

……

December 25, 2058, 20:36, Earth, Pacific Ocean, deep sea several hundred kilometers from the Hawaiian Islands.

In this seabed region, an oval black giant egg about twelve meters in diameter has been lingering here for over a year, its surface covered with rotten mud and weeds.

Many monsters in the surrounding waters have noticed the egg, but none can bite through its shell, not even a King Level monster.

Suddenly, the mysterious black egg trembled slightly, its shell slowly cracking open, and a pitch‑black, slime‑covered "unknown entity" emerged from within.

The unknown entity began gnawing the shell with a crackling sound; each piece it devoured made the creature grow a little.

When the shell was completely consumed, its body length had reached sixteen meters.

At the same time, its form fully revealed itself: its whole body was jet‑black, covered with black scales, possessing strong limbs, a pair of scale‑covered wings, and a tail resembling a dragon's tail.

The slime that had previously coated its body was completely absorbed, its form becoming clearer, and the Secret Patterns covering its body glowed with golden light.

This is the Golden Horn Beast, newly born, possessing ten times the genes.

The emergence of the Golden Horn Beast drew the covetous gazes of the creatures that dominate this seabed.

……

Huaxia Nation, military, Ocean Monster Real‑Time Monitoring Hall.

Red alarm sirens kept blaring.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"In the Pacific near the Hawaiian Islands, a hidden King Level monster, the Dragon Turtle, appears to have fought an unknown creature," a subordinate reported to a middle‑aged officer.

Monitoring the movements of every King Level monster on land and sea is something humanity must do for its own safety.

"The battle is over; the Dragon Turtle's life signs have vanished."

"The one that eliminated the King Level Dragon Turtle appears to be a newly emerged Beast Emperor."

"Contact Extreme Martial Arts Hall immediately, Chairman Xiao Yu."

……

Hong Ning Base City, Extreme Martial Arts Hall headquarters, inside a massive ship building, in a quiet chamber.

Hong sat cross‑legged with his eyes closed.

After cultivating with a Mu Ya crystal, his strength has broken through to Planetary Level Seventh Stage.

"Master, the militaries of the Five Great Nations have detected, near the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific, a possible Beast Emperor‑level monster."

"Has Xiao Yu been notified?" Hong said calmly.

"Master, Chairman Xiao Yu's communication watch has not connected for the time being."

"Probably he is training again; he really pushes himself! Keep an eye on the suspected Beast Emperor; if any anomaly appears, notify me immediately," Hong finished and closed his eyes again.

……

January 3, 2059.

The training hall where Xiao Yu was has finally returned to calm.

When Xiao Yu opened his eyes, a system voice sounded in his mind.

【Wish has been fulfilled.】

"Babata, check my strength," Xiao Yu said to the auxiliary light brain.

"Xiao Yu, you damned pervert, you blocked me again! And for twenty days straight, it really infuriates me!" Babata said angrily.

Just now Xiao Yu thought of something; even though Babata didn't see him using the system, his strength surged dramatically at intervals, which was hard to explain, and over time would surely give Babata some clues.

It would be better to modify Babata's clone so that it only obeys me and doesn't report everything to the main body.

"System, modify Babata's clone, set me as the highest Permission holder."

【Setting successful!】

【First Wish: Modify Babata's clone, set the host as the highest Permission holder (100 Wish Silver Coins).】

【100 Wish Silver Coins have been deducted!】

【Wish has been fulfilled.】

A purple data stream materialized out of nowhere and surged into the left‑hand wristband's auxiliary light brain.

"Xiao Yu… Master," Babata's voice abruptly cut off.

——

In Virtual Space, Babata's main body muttered angrily, "I have no idea what Xiao Yu did, I suddenly can't get through."
