nHalf an hour later, Vincent encountered another monster.
n
n
nThe monster was an apprentice-level monster known as the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.
n
n
n
n
nIts entire body was burning with scarlet flames. It had sharp teeth and claws. Its movements were swift, and its agility was high. It was unable to engage in close combat.
n
n
nThe flames on its body had a very strong burning property. If one touched it, he or she would turn into ashes within half an hour.
n
n
nThe most terrifying thing about its flame was that it had a very strong reigniting property.
n
n
nVincent did not expect to meet this kind of monster. He was focused.
n
n
n
n
nThe Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf saw Vincent, roared, and charged straight at him.
n
n
nIt was like a Lamborghini driving at high speed.
n
n
nSizzle!
n
n
nBefore Vincent could react, there was a hole in his body.
n
n
n
n
nThe flames burned Vincent’s body, and the wound became charred flesh.
n
n
nVincent’s body only started reacting when the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was twenty meters away.
n
n
n“So fast!”
n
n
nVincent was shocked.
n
n
nAlthough he knew that the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was very fast, he still underestimated it when fighting it.
n
n
nHis body was still burning in flames even when he fought back. His instincts were somewhat chaotic, but he was instantly surprised.
n
n
n
n
nThe flames had no reaction on his body; even his clothes were not burned.
n
n
nThe Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was also dumbfounded when it saw that Vincent was completely fine after its attack.
n
n
nIt could not understand how its undefeatable flames failed to have any effect on Vincent.
n
n
nVincent and the monster looked at each other; both were confused about what was going on.
n
n
nAfter ten minutes, the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf bowed and attacked Vincent again.
n
n
nIt thought that since the flames were useless against Vincent, it would use its sharp claws to tear him apart.
n
n
nVincent was the first to make a move. He held the hilt of the saber with both hands, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
n
n
nHis mind recalled the feeling of practicing the Collapsing Mountain Strike the night before.
n
n
n
n
nAt this very moment, everything around him slowed down.
n
n
nHe could feel that the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was in front of him, and its sharp teeth were about to sink into his neck.
n
n
n“Collapsing Mountain Strike!”
n
n
nVincent suddenly opened his eyes and swung his saber downwards.
n
n
nSwoosh!
n
n
nHe managed to chop off the left front leg of the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.
n
n
nThere was no obstruction.
n
n
n“Howl!”
n
n
nThe Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf cried in pain and fell to the right.
n
n
nThe pain of losing its left front leg did not make it retreat. Instead, the pain aroused its ferocity.
n
n
nIts eyes were red and its ferocity intensified.
n
n
nHe attacked Vincent once again.
n
n
n“How troublesome.”
n
n
n
n
nVincent dodged and thought to himself.
n
n
nWith a wave of his hand, black flames along with the flames on his body flew towards the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.
n
n
n“Try my flames!”
n
n
nTeng!
n
n
nThe Black Flames instantly devoured the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.
n
n
nScarlet Flame Demonic Wolf, die!
n
n
n“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an apprentice-level monster, Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf. You have obtained an upgrade pill.”
n
n
n“Do you wish to consume it?”
n
n
n“Yes.”
n
n
n“Ding! You have successfully consumed the upgrade pill. Your maximum power has been increased by 6 points.”
n
n
n“Please open character panel.”
n
n
nName: Vincent Emore
n
n
nAbility: Hellfire (S-Class elemental type), Extreme Speed Training (S-Class support type), Monster Affinity (S-Class special type)
n
n
nPsionic power: 33
n
n
nRealm: Apprentice-level superpower user.
n
n
nEquipment: D-Class Black Battle Saber
n
n
nCombat Skill: Collapsing Mountain Strike
n
n
nGrade: D-Class combat skill
n
n
nProficiency: 15%
n
n
n“I’m almost at the beginner level!”
n
n
nVincent looked at the attributes on his character’s interface and felt an abundance of energy in his body. He was very excited.
n
n
nIt had only been three days since he awakened his superpower, and he was already about to become a beginner superpower user.
n
n
nIf the others knew about it, they would definitely be shocked.
n
n
n“Continue!”
n
n
nVincent waved his fist energetically.
n
n
nTime passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was nighttime.
n
n
nVincent had killed a total of 11 monsters. His body was covered with the monsters’ blood.
n
n
nHis temperament was also very different from before.
n
n
nHe was steady and fierce.
n
n
nHis every move had strong killing intent.
n
n
nHis battle experience also improved greatly.
n
n
nHis psionic power limit had also increased by 17 points, reaching 50 points.
n
n
nIn other words, even if Vincent did not do anything, ten days was enough for him to advance.
n
n
nVincent’s power limit did not increase much after taking the upgrade pill.
n
n
nHe had even encountered a few instances where it had only increased by 1 point.
n
n
nHowever, as it was better than nothing, he just went with it.
n
n
nThe only thing that troubled him was the proficiency of the Collapsing Mountain Strike and Hellfire power.
n
n
nThe proficiency of the Collapsing Mountain Strike had been stuck at 49%. No matter how much he racked his brains, he could not understand it.
n
n
nIf this were to happen to other people, they would wake up with a smile on their faces.
n
n
nOne had to know that even for geniuses, it would take at least two months to reach this level of proficiency in a single combat technique.
n
n
nYet, he was in a dilemma here. If others found out about it, they would still try to upset him.
n
n
nHis Hellfire power was still too strong. It was because he had yet to learn how to control it.
n
n
nAs a result, every time he used Hellfire, the monster he attacked would not be left with any remains.
n
n
nThe monster’s blood, bones, and other parts could all be sold for money.
n
n
nAfter every battle, not even a strand of hair was left. This made his current poor situation even worse.
n
n
n“It’s getting late, let’s go home.”
n
n
nAfter stretching his back, Vincent prepared to return home.
n
n
nSpending the night outside of the city was extremely dangerous even if he was within the safe zone.
n
n
nMoreover, the monsters were most active at night.
n
n
nBang Bang Bang!
n
n
n“F*ck! This is my first experience. How did I meet such a troublesome fellow!”
n
n
nOn the way, gunshots and curses were heard.
n
n
nVincent felt like they were somewhat familiar, but he did not appear rashly. Instead, he hid behind a boulder and watched.
n
n
nOutside the city, ensuring one’s own safety was the most important thing.
n
n
nA handsome teen was flying in the air. The psionic pistol in his hand was glowing as he shot continuously at a shadow under the night sky.
n
n
nHowever, because of the night sky and the teen flying at high speed, all he saw was a shadow.
n
n
nThe young man was obviously not familiar with the psionic pistol.
n
n
nThis caused the young man’s accuracy to be very poor. Eight out of ten shots was hitting the ground.
n
n
n“What a waste of an A-class psionic pistol.”
n
n
nVincent could not help but ridicule.
n
n
nHe had seen this pistol at the psionic mall yesterday. It was worth hundreds of millions of psionic coins.
n
n
nSuddenly, he realized that something was not right. There was a pair of pure white wings on the back of the young man.
n
n
n“Swire?”
n
n
nUpon closer inspection, it really was his good friend Swire.
n
n
nAfter he realised that it was Swire, Vincent pulled out his Black Battle Saber, and charged forward.
n
n
n“Vincent!”
n
n
nSwire did not expect to meet Vincent.
n
n
n“Vincent! Don’t mind me! Hurry up and leave! This is a low-level monster, the Phantom Lion!”
n
n
nAs he said that, he stopped running and made a skillful turn in the air, charging towards the Phantom Lion.
n
n
nHe wanted to give Vincent a chance to escape.
n
n
nAfter all, he assumed that Vincent was just like him, a newbie who had just awakened his power.
n
n
nAlthough Vincent’s power level was higher than his, his power was not much stronger than his.
n
n
nDue to the special characteristics of his power, he was inferior to Vincent when facing the Phantom Lion.
n
n
nNevertheless, he was determined to die and took the initiative to attack. Before he died, he wanted to take one last look at Vincent. However, he was almost scared out of his mind.
