The Bestial Battle Arena, Battle Hall:
The entire hall was the size of two basketball courts. With the AR equipment, the hall instantly turned into an ancient Roman arena. Countless spectators were shouting and cheering, making people feel as if they were in ancient Rome.
In the gravel-filled arena, a steel cage slowly opened, and a huge wolf that was over two meters walked out. However, its four limbs were locked by steel chains, so its movements were restricted to a two-meter radius. It could only stare at Lu Jin and the others in the area. It could not help but roar angrily. The impact of the sound could be clearly felt even 10 meters away.
Chen Kemeng pointed at the trapped wolf and smiled at Lu Jin. "CEO Lu, are you satisfied with this Gale Wolf?"
The Gale Wolf was at Level 10. Although it was just a normal monster, its speed was at the same level as Rank 'B'.
If the player's Agility had not reached Rank 'B', it would not be easy to defeat the Gale Wolf.
"This woman is really difficult to deal with…" Lu Jin could not help but glance at Chen Kemeng, who was carefully observing his expression. He then calmly said, "It's alright, just a little lacking."
It was obvious that Chen Kemeng had not given up on the opportunity to find out his basic stats. Although he could understand that as the husband of the leader of the Fantasy Light Group, he might not have much power in the company in the future, who could guarantee that he would not affect the leader of the Group, Xia Qingyao?
"Still lacking a little?" Chen Kemeng could not help but laugh. "Then, does CEO Lu need to exchange it for another one?"
"No need. I have a plan." Lu Jin shook his head gently and walked toward the Gale Wolf.
Lu Jin's unusual words and actions made Chen Kemeng curious.
In fact, it was not only Chen Kemeng who was curious. Even Xu Xiaotian and Tang Yan, who had been watching quietly from the back, were also curious about what Lu Jin was planning to do in order to prevent his stats from being revealed. After all, Chen Kemeng was really formidable. She had so many tricks up her sleeve that one might unknowingly fall into her trap if one was not careful.
Lu Jin slowly walked to a spot about two meters away from the Gale Wolf, which was about the maximum range that the wolf could attack.
When the Gale Wolf saw Lu Jin in front of it, it glared at him fiercely and bared its sharp teeth as if it was ready to attack him at any moment.
However, Lu Jin had no reaction to that. He casually took out a piece of crystal residue from his sports bag and held it in his hand. He raised his head to meet the clueless Gale Wolf and said sympathetically, "Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame that woman behind me."
"?" The Gale Wolf seemed to understand what Lu Jin was saying. It tilted its head slightly, as if it was saying, "Are you talking to me?"
While the Gale Wolf was at a loss, Lu Jin took action.
With a single step, he covered a distance of two meters in the blink of an eye. He jumped right in front of the Gale Wolf's head and accurately punched the eye of the chained Gale Wolf. The Gale Wolf could not resist but cry out in pain.
After the Gale Wolf opened its mouth, Lu Jin sent the crystal residues that were in his hand into it. He then took a step back and stopped attacking. He stood four to five meters away from the Gale Wolf and quietly watched the Gale Wolf howl continuously.
That scene stunned Chen Kemeng and the rest who were watching from afar.
Was that something a human could do?
The Gale Wolf was merely a test subject that was Level 10. When he dealt with it, he actually trapped and attacked it at the same time. He simply tormented the Gale Wolf, which was specialized in speed, by preventing it from leaving the two-meter radius of the cage.
The pitiful Gale Wolf could only look at Lu Jin in anguish and there was nothing it could do…
However, just as Chen Kemeng and the rest were feeling speechless about Lu Jin's actions, the trapped wolf suddenly trembled and started tugging at the chains madly while whining.
"Brother, you've tormented the wolf too much. Look, the wolf is even crying because of you…" Lu Shixue looked at the howling Gale Wolf with sympathy in her eyes.
On the other hand, Lu Shixue's sympathy was not recognized by the others who were present. The expressions on their faces suddenly turned solemn instead.
"What has he done?"
Chen Kemeng stared at the Gale Wolf, which was trembling continuously and seemed to be in increasing danger. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
As a Level-16 Intermediate Adventurer who had been in charge of the Bestial Battle Arena for many years and had experienced hundreds of battles, Chen Kemeng had seen too many monsters.
The Gale Wolf could be said to be a very common type of monster. However, it was simply impossible for one or two punches to cause the Gale Wolf to howl in pain.
Not to mention, the Gale Wolf seemed to be increasing danger. Even Chen Kemeng, who was an Intermediate Adventurer, could not help but want to retreat.
"Evo… lution!"
"This wolf is… evolving!"
The experienced and knowledgeable Xu Xiaotian stared fixedly at the Gale Wolf, whose fur had spiked up. Even its silver-gray fur had started to turn green. Its body had started to grow from two meters tall to four meters tall. It was exactly like monster evolutions in the legend.
"Evolution?" Chen Kemeng seemed to recall something. "How is that possible!"
In Fantasy World, the monsters would constantly respawn. However, the Regional Bosses were not spawned. It was rumored that through accumulating and fighting for a long time, the basic stats of normal monsters in a region would continuously increase, which would finally cause them to evolve into the Regional Boss and become a completely different type of monster.
"Miss Chen, Xiaotian's guess is right." Lu Jin looked at Chen Kemeng, who was bewildered, and smiled. "This is indeed evolution!"
Crystal residues could be said to be the crystallization of a monster's power. By letting a monster consume it, the monster could absorb that power and greatly increase its stats.
If one was lucky, the increase in stats would break through the limit, causing the monster to evolve. It would surpass the original limits of the species, reaching a whole new level.
The evolution of the monsters in Fantasy World was actually based on this principle.
People thought that monsters were just monsters that were set up by the system for players to level up. They did not know that those monsters could fight and devour each other to improve themselves and evolve.
Chen Kemeng had kept wanting to find out his stats and had even set traps for him. Hence, Lu Jin had thought it through.
Since Chen Kemeng wanted to know so badly, he did not mind sharing with her more!
As a commoner from the suburbs who had just arrived in that world, if he wanted to live a better life in the future, just being the husband of the CEO of the Fantasy Light Group was far from enough. He had to show sufficient means and abilities.
Since Lu Jin had wanted to know why the younger Lu Jin had come to the arena before his death, Chen Kemeng, who was the manager of the Bestial Battle Arena, was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Therefore, he had to attract Chen Kemeng's attention so that she would feel the need to win him over, and not just treat him as a tool!
After Lu Jin confirmed the Gale Wolf's evolution with the others, the chained Gale Wolf suddenly roared. Its entire body emitted a dazzling light as it completed its evolution.
