The Wolf King’s pounce was also an attack command as it growled lowly.
“Awooo!” The Moon Demon Wolves, which had previously hesitated due to Li Yuan’s ruthless killing, once again crazily surged towards him.
In their pack, the Wolf King possessed unquestionable authority.
“Die!” A fierce killing intent surged in Li Yuan’s eyes.
He knew the most dangerous moment had come.
Although he was prepared to call for help at any time, Li Yuan was not willing to give up the ‘first place’ he had nearly secured unless he was truly in a dire situation.
After all, there was a difference of 500,000 Blue Star Coins and 2 million Blue Star Coins at stake.
“Boom!” The long spear in Li Yuan’s hand suddenly erupted.
His powerful spiritual power completely penetrated the interior of the weapon, sensing the subtle flows of vigor within.
Body, heart, and weapon, the three united and burst forth completely.
“Rip~” The long spear danced, its tip tracing dazzling arcs around Li Yuan, moving unpredictably, almost shrouding him like twinkling stars in the night sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sweeping spear light flickered, tearing through the air.
“Pfft~” “Pfft~” “Pfft~” One after another, the Moon Demon Wolves that pounced first were pierced through their bodies and skulls by the long spear, falling to the ground in vanquished heaps, blood splashing.
Stellar Spear Technique’s first form—Stellar Illumination!
After his Spear Technique entered the Fourth Level, Li Yuan’s casual strikes possessed immense might.
But the true killing moves were the Stellar Five Forms, these special skills could summon the body’s latent potential to the greatest extent.
Although using them expended a great deal of spiritual power and physical strength, their might far surpassed ordinary moves.
In the blink of an eye.
Six Moon Demon Wolves fell to Li Yuan’s spear, including one over Level 10 Entry Rank Moon Demon Wolf.
Such overwhelming force startled many of the Moon Demon Wolves.
At this moment!
“Roar~” The Moon Demon Wolf King finally closed in, its speed so swift it greatly surpassed Li Yuan’s.
“Die.”
Li Yuan moved, his spear tip flicking like a snake’s tongue, striking like lightning directly at the Moon Demon Wolf King.
“Whoosh!”
The massive body of the Moon Demon Wolf King was incredibly agile, easily dodging Li Yuan’s charged and ferocious thrust.
In terms of technique, it was far inferior to Li Yuan, largely relying on battle instincts.
However, its Life Level of 12 meant its speed and strength were far superior to Li Yuan’s.
Fundamentals determined the lower limit.
“Whoosh!” The Wolf King pounced again, probing Li Yuan while the other Moon Demon Wolves also launched a frenzied attack, straining to distract him.
“Clang!”
“Pfft!” “Bang!!”
With each clash and collision, although occasionally a Moon Demon Wolf perished under Li Yuan’s spear.
The intensity of the onslaught had Li Yuan at a complete disadvantage.
Several times, to avoid the Moon Demon King’s direct attacks, Li Yuan had no choice but to brace himself against the bodies of other Moon Demon Wolves, their astonishing impact causing his blood to churn.
“The Wolf King is too fast.”
“The difference in physical quality is too great.” Li Yuan exerted all his might time and time again, narrowly dodging the Moon Demon Wolf King’s attacks and pushing his movement technique to its limits.
“`
Occasionally, his sharp long spear would leave a small wound on the body of the wolf king.
Both sides were caught in a madness.
The Moon Demon Wolf King relied on its mighty body and the assistance of a multitude of ordinary Moon Demons.
Li Yuan, however, relied on his skill, the sharpness of his weapon, and the toughness of his protective clothing.
“My physical strength.”
“Is starting to wane,” Li Yuan appeared mad, but his heart was extremely calm. He was precisely calculating his physical strength, “I must find an opportunity.”
“This wolf king continuously hides its weaknesses while constantly testing me; I need a chance.”
Just one critical thrust.
Would slay the Moon Demon Wolf King.
…
In the conference room of the War Fortress,
dozens of military officers were now seriously watching the frenzied battle between Li Yuan and the Moon Demon wolf pack on the large screen.
Li Yuan had already been first in the scores and the center of attention.
The Moon Demon Wolf King he now faced was also the strongest one among all in the combat assessment arena.
The only Level 12 Star Realm Creature.
“What amazing spear technique.”
“Truly beautiful.”
“Impeccable defense! The previous fights just showed his strong offense, but now it seems what he truly excels at is defense.”
“Fourth Level spear technique? A high school student?”
“I’ve practiced the spear for more than a decade and am only at the Third Stage Intermediate Rank, yet I can’t advance further. Compared to him, I’ve really wasted my life.”
“The key is that facing a life-or-death battle for the first time, he can fully utilize his skills, truly a combat genius!” the officers exclaimed in admiration.
Perhaps Li Yuan’s physical quality wasn’t high, but his spear technique was indeed pleasing to the eye.
“Old Wang, should we rescue him?”
The tall and thin military officer Ji asked in a low voice, “The kid’s spear technique is impressive, but the combat assessment has been going on for over 6 hours. With such high-intensity combat, I fear he won’t have the stamina to continue.”
“With so many Moon Demons, he can’t kill them all, and that wolf king has a much stronger body than he does.”
“I’m afraid…” Officer Ji seemed concerned.
Indeed, they had activated ‘Absolute Protection,’ but with the speed and killing power of the Moon Demon King, there might still be a slip.
“No rush.”
“Look, those two girls are getting closer,” said the burly officer Wang in a low voice, pointing to another screen: “If we rescue Li Yuan now, he won’t be able to take first place.”
“Oh?”
…
In the woods, two black figures, one tall and one short, were moving swiftly forward.
“Yue Yue, so many wolf corpses. It looks like the fight has extended over to that wasteland,” Wu Dongdong quickly said.
“Hmm.”
“Looking at the signs of battle, someone was pursued,” Lin Lanyue, with swords in both hands, surveyed the area and swiftly analyzed the situation.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two moved quickly and soon saw the wasteland come into view, directly witnessing the fierce battle taking place there.
“It’s Li Yuan!”
Excitement colored Dongdong’s voice, “Sister, there are so many Moon Demons and that wolf king, it might be over Level 12!!”
“`
“Li Yuan.” In Lin Lanyue’s eyes, there was only Li Yuan, and she instantly realized that Li Yuan had fallen into an absolute disadvantage.
An instinctive worry arose in her heart.
“Quick, Dongdong, save him.”
Lin Lanyue’s footsteps quickened, as she dashed out like a fleeting shadow.
“Got it!!”
“Watch me kill the Moon Demon Wolf King and take back the first place.” Wu Dongdong was extremely excited as he rushed out following her.
The physical quality of both of them was at the Entry Rank.
…
“Clang!”
“Boom~” The Moon Demon Wolf King was cunning, repeatedly probing with its claws, which were incredibly hard and not at all afraid of colliding with the spear shaft or even the spear tip.
It didn’t give Li Yuan any chance to attack its vital points.
Other Moon Demons also attacked repeatedly, either trying to bite with their mouths or pounce to kill.
In contrast, Li Yuan’s Spear Technique was visibly slowing down.
“My strength is decreasing, my Spear Technique is getting slower.”
“I must hold on, I must defend.” Li Yuan’s heart grew more determined as he poured his whole being into the fight.
Li Yuan, too, perceived his own weakness.
Movement Technique!
After breakthroughs in his Fist Technique and Spear Technique, the only thing left was his movement technique.
Fourth Level movement techniques theoretically involved the integration of body and mind.
But compared to Fist Technique, movement techniques greatly test the perception of and inquiry into one’s surroundings.
Perceiving the environment, utilizing the environment, ensuring that every movement and dodge of the body or limbs is the most energy-efficient and precise—that is the Fourth Level of the movement techniques.
If given one or two more months, with his strong spiritual power and Fist Technique Realm, Li Yuan would definitely break through in his movement technique as well.
However, from the breakthrough of the Fist Technique to the Fourth Level to now, it had only been about ten days.
Although Li Yuan had been practicing the Dragon Movement Technique all this time, he still lacked that final insight.
“If my movement technique could reach the Fourth Level, facing the siege of so many Moon Demons, complemented by my Spear Technique, I could handle it much more comfortably.” Li Yuan’s eyes were cold.
The oppressive feeling brought by life-and-death battle.
Stimulated the body over and over, evoking the most primal evolutionary drive from the deepest part of the body.
Evolve or die!!
The tension and stimulation brought about by a brush with death were incomparable to tens of thousands of virtual battles.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan fiercely dueled with the Moon Demon Wolf King.
Gradually, Li Yuan felt a mysterious sensation, vaguely grasping that glimmer of insight.
Swish!
Swish! Li Yuan’s steps changed; although his moving speed didn’t increase, he dodged the Moon Demon Wolf King’s attacks more easily and nimbly.
As if he were a gust of wind!
Each time, Li Yuan seemed to perform ‘ultimate’ dodges against the surrounding Moon Demons’ attacks.
“Roar~”
“Howl!” The Moon Demon Wolf King grew anxious; it had seen the hope of killing Li Yuan.
But now, that hope seemed to have become distant again, each attack only ‘a bit’ short.
A fluke once, but what about twice? Thrice?
How had this weak alien life form suddenly improved so much?
“Boom!” The Moon Demon Wolf King could no longer restrain itself, and risking danger, it launched a full-force attack on Li Yuan.
“Dragon Movement.”
“Wind follows the tiger, clouds follow the dragon. The Fourth Level of the Dragon Movement Technique is to become like the wind.” Li Yuan was completely immersed in this special state, feeling as if everything around him was faintly reflected in his heart.
Instinctively, his body made the most advantageous choices.
Become like a dragon moving through the wind!
This was the essence of the Dragon Movement Technique.
“Roar~” The Moon Demon Wolf King roared furiously, lunging forward, trying to corner Li Yuan with its massive body and burst speed.
“After so many probes, it finally comes.”
“Die!”
Li Yuan’s eyes suddenly erupted with light, and vigor burst forth from his body. His spine curved like a fully drawn bow, with all the power transferring from his waist to his arms.
His spear gleamed like stars!
The spear’s speed suddenly exploded.
“Piercing!”
A flash of cold light, and the spear tip grazed a bloody mark under the jaw of the Moon Demon Wolf King, who was charging snarling, and then impaled right into its flesh, penetrating straight through the heart within its body.
This thrust almost pierced through the Moon Demon Wolf King.
This was Li Yuan’s long-accumulated burst of power!
“Spurt~~” Blood splattered.
Li Yuan swiftly withdrew his spear like lightning, flinging the nearly thousand-kilogram corpse of the Moon Demon Wolf King over his head, while also avoiding the attacks of two other Moon Demons.
“Boom~”
The enormous corpse of the Moon Demon Wolf King heavily crashed into a boulder, then rolled down to the ground, its massive body still struggling, with blood flowing.
“Swoosh!”
Li Yuan stood erect, his gaze piercing cold, as his long spear drew a semicircle, striking down a Moon Demon that couldn’t retreat in time.
No signs of weakness.
“Howl~”
“Roar~” The multitude of Moon Demons around him, with eyes full of terror, growled and subconsciously began to back away, looking to get away from the devil before them.
“Li Yuan.”
“We’re here to save you.”
Two voices suddenly rang out one after the other, and then Li Yuan saw two black figures burst from the forest and roar into the midst of the Moon Demon pack.
Sword light and spear shadows intertwined, blood splashed, and one after another, Moon Demons fell to the ground.
“Swish!” “Swish!” The remaining over a hundred living Moon Demons could no longer bear it and, howling in fright, fled into the distance.
Phew!
Upon seeing this scene, Li Yuan could no longer bear it and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
His strength had already nearly reached its limit; he had just been forcibly intimidating the pack of wolves.
“Spiritual Awakening Level: 12.8% (current limit 20%, can guide Origin Power into the body one more time)” Li Yuan glanced at a section on the Divine Palace panel and pondered.
