Chapter 4: The Life-Eating Vine! Peak of the King-Sealing Realm?!
[The Life-Eating Vine is a unique plant life form that is resilient and highly aggressive. It grows by devouring flesh and blood, rapidly reaching the Realm Lord level, and has the potential to break through to the peak of the King level.]
[Note: It possesses a certain degree of intelligence.]
Lin Yi looked at the card descriptions, his heart filled with a mix of emotions.
He extracted a plant life that could grow to the peak of kingship and surpass the Mo Yun Vine.
By cultivating the Life-Eating Vine to the peak of the King-Sealing Realm, and relying on its massive divine body, it can, in a short time, fight against the King-Sealing Limit Realm or even the King-Sealing Invincible Realm experts when burning its divine power.
Such precious plant life, extracted by a mere apprentice like him?!
Even after he had finished selecting his equipment in a daze and entered Monster Town, where he secretly materialized it, Lin Yi still couldn't quite believe it.
A vine, as thick as an arm, with golden, serrated leaves, meandered around his waist; its cool touch reminded Lin Yi that it was all real.
After recognizing its master, the 'Life-Eating Vine' raised its tendrils, which resembled tentacles, and affectionately nuzzled Lin Yi's face.
Through the master-servant connection, Lin Yi attempted to contact the "Life-Eating Vine".
"Little Devourer, how strong are you? How can I help you advance?"
A clear, childlike voice rang in Lin Yi's heart.
"Master, I am still in the initial stage, only at the planetary level 1."
"Consuming life-type flesh and blood, or plant life resources such as wood crystals and life fruits, can all help me advance."
As if afraid Lin Yi would dislike it, the Life-Eating Vine immediately offered an explanation after answering.
"I can help my master attack and trap enemies."
"Moreover, my growth rate was very fast before I broke through to immortality."
Planetary order 1?
Lin Yi stared at the Life-Eating Vine in awe.
In the context of the universe, a first-order planet is nothing.
But on Earth at this time, he would definitely be a powerful figure at the level of a congressman, one of only fifty or so super beings in the world.
"I've become a member of parliament?"
Lin Yi was somewhat incredulous.
If the Life-Eating Vine has the strength of a councilor, then its master naturally also possesses councilor-level strength; isn't he a councilor himself?
But Lin Yi is only a junior warrior and is still participating in the quasi-martial artist combat assessment!
I thought it was already outrageous that a junior warrior would participate in a quasi-martial artist combat assessment.
Unexpectedly, things took an even more outrageous turn.
A councilor-level powerhouse participating in the quasi-martial artist assessment?!
This is a bit too exaggerated.
Lin Yi was too lazy to "compete for monsters" with other martial artists, so he rushed straight into the depths of the town.
He's a powerful councilor now, how can he compete with some weaklings who are only martial artists for monsters?
They ventured over a kilometer into the town before gradually slowing down to begin their search.
Turning the corner, not far away, on the second floor of a collapsed, abandoned chain hotel, a wild boar covered in sharp spiky creature came into view. It was the size of an adult elephant, with a head bearing two sharp tusks, and a pair of bloodthirsty eyes staring intently at Lin Yi below.
The H-class monster known for its strength, the "Iron-haired Boar"!
"You're my first opponent!"
Lin Yi showed no nervousness whatsoever; instead, he was filled with the excitement of seeing a lamb to the slaughter.
Sling the sword and shield to your back and hold down the restless Life-Eating Vine.
With a light stomp of his foot, he leaped four or five meters, like a cannonball, onto the second floor, and entered the dark room.
"Hehe~~"
The Iron-haired Boar stared at the human warrior before it, who held a shield and a sword in each hand, and let out a series of strange, low growls.
Then, its thick hooves stomped hard on the cement ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then a gust of foul-smelling wind roared toward Lin Yi, as if a heavy off-road vehicle was speeding by and crashing into him.
The two sharp, long fangs, like two giant scimitars, came crashing down.
"Whoosh!" As the iron-haired wild boar charged at him, Lin Yi quickly dodged.
He flashed to the side of the Iron-haired Boar, suppressed his strength to the level of an intermediate warrior, and punched the Iron-haired Boar in the belly.
Under Lin Yi's forceful impact, the iron-haired wild boar rolled to the ground, scattering cement and stones everywhere.
However, the iron-haired wild boar, known for its defensive capabilities, quickly shook its head and got up from the ground.
A single blow from a mid-level warrior was clearly insufficient to injure it.
Bang~!
Bang~!
Bang~!
Lin Yi suppressed his strength and fought the Iron-haired Wild Boar to the same spot.
Clearly, Lin Yi was using the Iron-haired Wild Boar as a whetstone.
A warrior, forcibly going toe-to-toe with an H-class monster.
As time went on, Lin Yi continued to suppress his strength and speed.
4000kg, 50m/s
3000kg, 40m/s
2500kg, 35m/s
……
1300kg, 29m/s.
Lin Yi's practical experience is gradually improving.
At a certain moment, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with cold light, and his power suddenly burst forth, flowing directly into his arm. His muscles trembled slightly, and the Blood Shadow Battle Blade flashed a cold light as it slashed upwards across the Iron-haired Wild Boar's neck!
puff!
The boar's head detached from its body and flew into the air, blood gushing out from its severed neck.
The body continued to run for more than ten meters due to inertia before collapsing with a loud thud.
Its body continued to twitch on the ground for a while before it finally died.
"Huff, huff."
Lin Yi took two deep breaths. Even though he already possessed the strength of a beginner warrior, he still felt a little terrified when he saw the monster's neck severed and blood gushing out for the first time.
Kill monsters...
Killing a monster for the first time was indeed quite a shock.
"No wonder, many aspiring martial artists can't even unleash one-tenth of their full strength when they see blood for the first time."
Lin Yi's stomach was churning. Whether in his past life or this one, this was the first time Lin Yi had ever seen such a scene.
Gritting his teeth, he contacted the Life-Eating Vine.
"Little Devourer, go and devour its corpse."
One of the major factors that helps the flesh-eating vine grow is its ability to devour flesh and blood.
Unexpectedly, during the master-servant communication, a slight resistance was detected from the Life-Eating Vine.
"Master, I don't like this kind of trash."
Lin Yi: ...
He only thought about how the Life-Eating Vine would evolve by devouring flesh and blood, but he didn't expect that Little Life-Eating Vine would be a picky eater...
Lin Yi suppressed his physical discomfort, squatted down in front of the enormous pig's head, and with a wave of his hand, cut off the left ear of the iron-haired wild boar.
"I lack practical combat experience right now. If I were an ordinary quasi-martial artist, it would be impossible for me to kill this iron-haired wild boar so easily."
With his current strength, Lin Yi could easily overpower this Iron-haired Wild Boar.
"Furthermore, I feel so uncomfortable seeing blood gushing out; I must overcome this!"
"Right here in this monster town, adapt to your strength and the carnage..."
Lin Yi walked toward the next intersection, seeking a new cultivation goal.
As time went by, the assessment period came to an end.
The loudspeakers hidden throughout the town blared simultaneously.
"Time's up, the assessment is over. All prospective martial artists, assemble immediately at the town's exit! Failure to do so will result in disqualification!"
Large numbers of soldiers, riding in heavily armed military trucks, flooded into the town to clear out the monsters and load the carcasses of monsters and human aspiring martial artists onto the trucks. The mortality rate for the formal martial artist assessment was not high, but there were still casualties.
Next to the town's exit, warriors lined up to hand over the monster ears they had hunted.
Lin Yi also quietly stood at the back of the line, secretly making his plans.
"Stepping into the wilderness increases luck by 100."
"Slaying monsters did not bring any luck."
"The gacha system is very powerful, but the way to acquire luck is too unpredictable!"
