In the royal palace, there was a prison located underground. One young man and a wolf were locked up here together. Each sighed at each other with a thousand liters of tears.
"Hey, hey, hey, Erha, think of a way out." Li Xin looked at Erha and said.
"Bow-wow!"
Erha barked for a second.
"Wrong!"
Li Xin casually slammed his palm down.
"Ao~"
Erha felt wronged.
"Now that's right." Li Xin sounded happy. Looking around, the everlasting dark dungeon was wet. Obviously this was built for the wolf tribe. He, as a human, could be considered a special prisoner.
Li Xin looked at the chain on his hands.
It was heavy and sturdy. In front of the door, there were two giant wolves comparable to world espers guards. Of course, the Wolf King had considered their strength and instantly wiped out any hope of them escaping.
Any ordinary world esper wouldn't be able to break free. As for Li Xin, who was merely a domain esper, what was there to hope for?
"Your power..." Li Xin suddenly looked at Erha.
"Ao~"
Erha sighed.
"It got stolen by the Wolf King?"
Li Xin suddenly came to a realization. No wonder Wolf King was able to develop to such a large scale in just twenty years. It had actually taken away the core strength of Huangliang City!
No wonder Huangliang City, which already manifested its spirit, had no defense...
No wonder Erha, who was the spirit of Huangliang City, got mixed up in this wolf tribe...
No wonder Wolf King, who was dying in the past, was still alive...
No wonder Huangliang Despairs was occupied by the wolf tribe these twenty years...
It turned out that the core strength of Huangliang City got taken away by Wolf King after it turned into a spirit!
"So you just want to recover your power?" Li Xin patted its head.
"Aooo..."
Erha whimpered.
"Alright, I will help you." Li Xin laughed, "We're after all brothers!"
"Aooo~"
Erha felt grateful.
"Hehe, just a mere chain..." Li Xin looked at the chain around him, and a force in his hands began to condense. He could produce a one hundred times critical hit, but that wasn't his best. His best has no limit!
Only probability limits him!
Thus, he also wished to see how low was the probability of his limit! How powerful would it be to break the chain here, and what was the probability of doing so?
"Phew~"
Li Xin took a deep breath.
Bang!
Bang!
His wrists collided with the chain at an unbelievable speed that it even surpassed the speed of sound. In a period of one second, Li Xin had lost count of how many times he struck!
His wrists flashed like a phantom.
However, when one had a closer look, his wrists didn't move at all.
Because...
They were too fast.
Those two strong wolves just had a glance before turning back.
No one knew how many attempts Li Xin had done! If once wasn't possible, what about one hundred times, ten thousand times, or one hundred thousand times? In the end, there will be a try that he ends up succeeding, right?
Bang!
Bang!
The extremely soft noise that one could hardly hear represented their hopes. Li Xin never cared about it because he knew that as long as he believes in it, he will make it a reality.
This belonged to his unique talent!
Bang!
Bang!
That sweet noise kept echoing in their ears.

"Shouldn't we catch up?"
Zheng Tai looked at Su Hao and pondered.
Both were in front of the stone statue. They waited for Liu Ping and the others to leave before revealing themselves. In fact, Zheng Tai was still feeling that he was dreaming now. Just during the final moment when he thought death was inevitable, he saw Su Hao appear and was unexpectedly pulled back from the edge of death!
"How can..."
Before he managed to finish his words, he then saw the disappearance of the quicksand.
Then, he recalled a familiar origin technique, Universe Creator.
As expected, it had been upgraded again!
In the past, during Wan Cheng's breakthrough, he and Su Hao had battled each other. Universe Creator almost made him lose, and he realized the horror of this move because of this clash. This time, witnessing the same trick again, it had improved so much. Not only did it take away consciousness but now objects in reality.
This was simply unbelievable.
After Su Hao rescued him, both had been waiting till now.
"Don't bother with him." Su Hao smirked, "To fight against Wolf King, only he has such capability. This time, let them open the path first. What worries me more was Nine Snakes."
"Then we deal with Nine Snakes first." Zheng Tai said.
"No rush." Su Hao looked at the stone statue next to him, "Try this first."
"Alright."
Zheng Tai skillfully put his hands on top of it. After a while, he revealed a shocked expression. The Rule Force he had after breaking through, not only did it increase in quantity but also stabilized!
"Oh?"
Su Hao put his hands on the stone statue.
The stone statue gave feedback, and he could feel a significant improvement in the quality department as expected.
Rule Force, increased 10%.
Internal force, increased 10%.
Origin energy, increased 10%.
.... .
Right now, Su Hao's strength had a comprehensive improvement. With the upgrade in quality, that indicated that his origin techniques would be more powerful. No amount of quantity increment could make up for it. Thus, without a doubt, the reward this time was much better than the first one.
At the moment when Su Hao finished absorbing, he guided the force to Li Tiantian and the others. Then, at the very final moment, he moved the force to those wandering dark fishes!
Improvement!
Improvement!
Improvement!
Su Hao once again improved!
After the stone statue's force was completely consumed, Kingdom of Heaven and those living there were unprecedentedly powerful.
Su Hao had a feeling.
Although his current Rule Force was only 600 units, he felt that he could complete 1, 000 units of boundary spirits with the upgraded Rule Force!
Finally, he could change to a better boundary spirit.
However...
Now wasn't the right time.
Su Hao looked toward the direction of Liu Ping's departure. Now, it still wasn't the right moment. Once he made a new boundary spirit, a fourth level boundary spirit would be produced and cause the world bell to ring, which would surely alarm Liu Ping and the others.
He had to wait.
Wait until the moment when a fight was inevitable!
"What should we do now?"
Zheng Tai was a bit overwhelmed.
The desert was endless. If they were to follow Liu Ping and the others, it was easy to be noticed. Once noticed... they wouldn't be able to explain themselves. However, if they didn't follow, and somehow Liu Ping wiped out Nine Snakes or Wolf King before smoothly exiting...
Then they would be in deep trouble.
Thus, what should they do now?
"Is your shadow power still there?" Su Hao suddenly asked.
"Yes." Zheng Tai nodded.
"Attach to my shadow." Su Hao smirked, "As for the rest, leave it to me."
"Won't there be any problems?" Zheng Tai looked cautious.
"Rest assured."
"Alright!"
Light flashed.
Zheng Tai's figure gradually disappeared, and no trace could be seen. At this moment, one could see a slight change of color in Su Hao's shadow before it became normal. After stepping into the world realm, Zheng Tai's strength in hiding his figure also improved by quite a margin when compared to his previous self.
"Origin Ability Association... Nine Snakes... Wolf tribe..."
Su Hao changed his appearance again and then quietly kept up.
His appearance had changed.
The appearance of Wu Ming disappeared.
From this moment onward, both Zheng Tai and him had really disappeared in the eyes of everyone. Even if they were discovered, their identity as Su Hao and Zheng Tai would never spill out.
"If Origin Ability Association and the wolf tribe don't meet, Nine Snakes will definitely not take any action."
"They probably want to take advantage as a fisherman, waiting for the wolf tribe and Origin Ability Association to suffer losses on both sides before appearing to collect the reward. At the same time..."
"Origin Ability Association will be forced to fight!"
"Because Nine Snakes have the advantage, they were not in a hurry. If the Origin Ability Association never takes action, they might never come out."
"Thus, being under pressure, the Origin Ability Association has to initiate the fight!"
After a moment, Su Hao analyzed the current situation out, "So, to defeat Nine Snakes, the Origin Ability Association only has one chance."
"Defeat the wolf tribe first and then kill Nine Snakes!"
"With absolute strength!"
However, is such a feat possible?
He understood Liu Ping's strength, but Wolf King's...
When Su Hao was on the way here, he had been thinking about it. Then, he suddenly felt a strong aura coming from afar, which was accompanied by a loud roar.
"Such big guts!"
This aura...
Su Hao was shocked.
No matter what he was thinking before, after this aura appeared, he could only give a wry smile. Any scheme of his was based on the fact that the strength gap wasn't huge, but when Wolf King's aura was exposed, Su Hao had lost his desire to struggle because that strength represented a different realm.
Pseudo-emperor.
He was equivalent to an esper who had taken half a step into the territory of the strongest esper!
What was there to fight then?
***
Somewhere in the palace, a translucent specter suddenly appeared.
With white and tender skin, a cold face, and a unique Gothic costume, it turned out to be a pretty little girl.
On her body, a bright mark flashed. If Su Hao were here, he would definitely realize this was a mark of Nine Snakes! Her name was Xian An and an executor of this mission. Yes, Su Hao was right. Nine Snakes really did hide here, waiting to reap the rewards.
Everyone wasn't a fool. Each one of them was trying to create advantages for themselves, and adopting the fisherman strategy was without a doubt the best one to maximize their benefits.
Xiao An was waiting.
Even when she was alone, she still patiently waited for the Origin Ability Association to come in.
Relying on her powerful grade S talent, she passed through the Great Despair.
The current her.
She was one of the special core members of Nine Snakes.
There were only three in total, which was less than the leaders of Nine Snakes. However, one died in the past, leaving behind only two of them— one inside and one outside of Huangliang City. When the team of Origin Ability Association entered, she already knew her companion outside was most likely dead.
Three million dead souls, no matter how much one contributes, only death awaits him!
Fortunately, when she came this time, she didn't tell her companion anything. Her caution allowed her to keep her life intact.
"Origin Ability Association, how long can you wait?"
Xiao An kept watching. Seeing that the Origin Ability Association finally couldn't help but provoke Wolf King, she showed a hint of surprise. However, the moment the Wolf King took action, her face had a huge change.
"It's over." Xiao An's mind shivered.
Pseudo-emperor!
How could the Wolf King be a pseudo-emperor?!
Xiao An's face suddenly turned ugly because this was no longer playing a game as a fisherman, they were most likely going to be wiped out completely by the Wolf King instead!
With the Wolf King's strength, to deal with them...
One move would most likely be sufficient.
This time, it was a huge problem.
