Zhao Wuji was terrified!
Wei Wei's trembling reply came through.
"Do you know what you did wrong?"
That dull voice sounded once more.
"Hao, Haotian Your Highness, Wuji knows his mistake,"
Zhao Wuji answered.
Indeed, when the junior gets hurt, the senior immediately comes knocking.
It was the same last time.
Why is Zhao Wuji so unlucky, to have brought an ancestor out!
"Put the sack over your head."
The shadow stood on the tree, and at the same time, a thick hemp sack was thrown down.
"Hao, Haotian Your Highness, what, what are you doing??"
Zhao Wuji panicked.
And was stunned!!
What's the meaning of this entire sack?
Could it be…
No way!
Haotian Your Highness looked so amiable last time, he shouldn't be so brutally inhuman.
"Given today's events, I think you should know what I'm about to do?"
The deep voice said.
"This..., alright, alright then."
Zhao Wuji, with a face full of grievance, picked up the hemp sack from the ground.
Then pulled it down over his head.
He hoped Haotian Your Highness would be a bit gentler.
Zhao Wuji prayed silently in his heart.
"Boom—"
"Bang bang bang!!"
Zhao Wuji, inside the sack, only felt a bout of dizziness, followed by his entire body crashing into an area strewn with rocky debris.
However, the critical hits did not stop; they continued!
[Ding! Host, you have a new message.]
Suddenly, the man in black paused for a moment.
"Didn't expect it to be over so quickly, let's give old Zhao another big gift pack then!"
A black Soul Ring surged.
"Titan Giant Ape Strength!"
The punch filled with raging Soul Power, accompanied by the piercing friction of the air, smashed directly towards Zhao Wuji.
This was the third soul skill rewarded by the System, Millennium Titan!
It was his only purely strength-based soul skill.
Today, using just a third of his strength, he had almost taken Tang San's life.
It was also one of his trump cards now.
The Speed-Type Spirit Bone rewarded today, plus this strength-based Vajra Fist, gave him the chance to imitate Tang Hao.
Thus, he effortlessly completed the task assigned by the System tonight!
Otherwise, to land a critical hit on Zhao Wuji, even combining today's Millennium Speed-Type Spirit Bone, would be extremely strenuous.
It might even provoke Zhao Wuji's wrath, and he might not be able to escape unscathed!
After all, Zhao Wuji was a level 76 Soul Sage.
And he was currently just a level 39 Soul Elder.
The difference between them was indeed quite vast.
But some things aren't determined by strength alone; sometimes, by using your brain, you can achieve unexpected results.
Just like today.
As a man who knew the plot, Ye Feng was aware that Zhao Wuji had been hammered by Tang Hao before, now having a huge psychological shadow. Thus, he imitated Tang Hao's approach once more. Sure enough, Zhao Wuji fell for it!
In the end, he effortlessly completed the System's task!
At this moment, Ye Feng returned to the inn feeling utterly pleased with himself.
After all, what's more satisfying than completing a task?
What's more exciting than being about to summon his second Martial Soul?
Nothing!!
"Ah—"
On the other side, Zhao Wuji was 'freely flying' in the hemp sack.
"Crash!!"
It was unclear which mountain peak he smashed into.
He rolled over several times.
Then he and the hemp sack separated, rolling out.
The person, so bruised and swollen that even Flander wouldn't recognize him if he were there.
"Damn it, where is this place? Haotian Your Highness's punches were too heavy!"
Zhao Wuji wiped his bleeding nose, looking around extremely bewildered.
When had Zhao Wuji ever been humiliated like this in his life!
Yet, this year, no, this month, it happened twice!!
It's a misfortune!
It's a downright misfortune!
This year, what kind of monsters did Flander recruit!
A princess from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, a son of Haotian Your Highness.
At least Mubai was better.
His family wouldn't come to cause trouble.
Zhao Wuji said while holding the injured part.
Before long, an hour had passed.
"Hmm? Why does this place look so familiar??"
Zhao Wuji looked at the hemp sack on the ground.
Suddenly, his head filled with questions.
Soon, he realized he was lost!!
Yes, he was lost in this endless, pitch-black forest!!
And this misadventure almost cost him his life.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
At that moment, Ye Feng was in the inn, having taken a shower and lying quietly on his bed.
[Ding! Host, you have two unread messages.]
Ye Feng opened the system and immediately saw two lines of unread message prompts.
[System Host completed the critical hit task against Zhao Wuji with an SSS rating and received rewards of 10 million gold coins, one Second Martial Soul Fragment, and a Mysterious Gift Pack]
[Today's Exercise Points settlement, System Host has received 18,000 Exercise Points, which have been converted into leveling Experience Points]
He opened the two unread messages.
The first was a reward from the system's duplicate.
The second was the settlement of today's Exercise Points.
The system would award him with Exercise Points every day based on his activities, which were usually just a few tens or hundreds and at most about a thousand before.
He hadn't expected a surge to 18,000 today.
Could it be because he had fought with the Child of Destiny and Zhao Wuji?
Seeing the high Exercise Points, Ye Feng was shocked.
Previously at level 39 Soul Power, system experience points [391,000/400,000]
Now, there had been a change.
System Host: Ye Feng
Current Plane: Soul Land
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Martial Soul: Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe, Five * Second Martial Soul Fragment (can summon an exquisite Martial Soul)
Soul Power: Level 40
Experience Points: 9,000/1,000,000
Gold coins: 15 million
To be used: Mysterious Gift Pack
The system status bar appeared in front of Ye Feng right now.
Indeed, after leveling up, only the remaining 9,000 experience points were offset.
And it seemed to get harder to level up.
Before, 10-20 levels needed 200,000 experience points, 20-30 levels needed 300,000, and 30-40 levels required 400,000.
Now, from levels 40-50, it actually required 1,000,000 experience points.
It looked like troubles had just become manifold, requiring a hundred thousand experience points to level up once.
He didn't know what was in that mysterious gift pack.
Could it be a soul ring?
Ye Feng lay on his bed, murmuring as he looked at the status bar that only he could see.
[Ding! Congrats to the System Host for opening the Mysterious Gift Pack, one Third Martial Soul Fragment, one God Rank Pet Fragment, one Endure for One Minute Pill]
"???"
Full of curiosity, Ye Feng opened the Mysterious Gift Pack.
He had thought he would get a soul ring.
After all, he also had stepped into the Soul Ancestor level.
With one soul ring, he'd become a Soul Ancestor directly.
But lo and behold, what is this, Russian nesting dolls?
A Third Martial Soul Fragment??
He had just completed gathering the Second Martial Soul, and now they're tossing him a third Martial Soul?
Is this appropriate??
And what in the world is a God Rank Pet Fragment?
Ye Feng himself was barely scraping by in life, and now, they wanted to give him a pet as well?
Of course, the least bearable of all had to be the last item.
At first glance, he almost thought he'd read it wrong.
'Endure for One Minute Pill', what kind of joke was this??
He was only thirteen years old, he didn't need this thing, right?
Besides, he didn't even have a girlfriend yet!!
Was the system crazy!
"Huh? There are actually instructions?"
As a gentleman, Ye Feng didn't really want to dabble with such nonsense.
But such a large red exclamation mark floated there, and it seemed wrong not to click it, so he did.
He went to see what sort of dirty—no, divine—elixir it was!
[Endure for One Minute Pill, a type of elixir that enhances combat power. It can help the System Host endure one minute in battle.]
Only this brief line appeared.
He would have been better off not looking. Having read it, Ye Feng became even more confused!!
Was there a double meaning to this statement?
However, he assumed the system would not be a normal system.
So he would just tentatively categorize it as an elixir that enhances combat power.
But one minute, really was so short.
He also didn't know what Martial Soul the Second Martial Soul would summon.
Ye Feng clicked on the Martial Soul section with some anticipation.
[Warning! The Second Martial Soul is too powerful. Please choose a safe place for awakening.]
He had just clicked to summon the exquisite Martial Soul.
And then, a line of red text popped up immediately.
"Are you kidding me, I have to find a safe place to awaken this thing? Is the system being overly cautious? What kind of Martial Soul is that powerful?!"
It looked like he had to make a trip outside again.
And that's just the kind of person Ye Feng was.
He couldn't wait until the next day.
He immediately changed clothes and ran outside the inn.
[Warning! The Second Martial Soul is too powerful; this place is still not suitable for awakening. Please find a safe place, System Host.]
The system prompted again.
"Damn it, what the hell kind of Martial Soul is this, so demanding? If I go to the top of the mountain to awaken, that should work, right?!"
Ye Feng cursed!!
And so, Ye Feng, full of rage, ran to a mountaintop far from the town.
At night, the whole town was quiet and peaceful.
Everyone was immersed in a lovely dreamland.
Suddenly, at this moment, an intense explosion sounded.
A mushroom cloud burst from the distant mountaintop straight into the sky!!
The entire mountaintop was leveled to the ground!!
