Chapter 387: 385

Xiong Ying did not respond to Wen Wen’s words but swiftly approached him, clawing towards Wen Wen’s chest.

His current combat style resembled that of a ferocious carnivore with both strength and speed far exceeding his earlier form!

Yet, this level of enhancement only caused Wen Wen to be slightly surprised, and he did not panic at all because he was confident that he could fully handle Xiong Ying.

He effortlessly deflected Xiong Ying’s wrist with his cane, then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.

Afterward, Wen Wen took out the strange fire stone, snapped his fingers, and activated the Oxygen-Sucking Sheep Demon Yao’s ability, spewing out fierce flames towards Xiong Ying!

"These flames are extremely hot; he should get hurt somewhat."

Wen Wen deliberately controlled the temperature of the flames to prevent truly burning out the eyes of Xiong Ying.

But when the flames had dissipated, Wen Wen narrowed his eyes because Xiong Ying was completely unharmed!

The soccer fields in the Capital District are usually artificial, with lawns and soil all made of plastic and plastic granules, which were now scorched black around Xiong Ying, the plastic granules melted into a lump, emitting a foul burnt odor.

Xiong Ying stood in the center, his clothes completely burned off, revealing a monster-like body, crimson scales, a fierce head, golden vertical pupils, and a pair of huge dragon wings unfurled behind him, and white smoke continuously emerging from his mouth and body.

Looking at Xiong Ying’s appearance, Wen Wen marveled, "This is practically a miniature Western fire dragon; no wonder you nicknamed yourself Little Dragon Knight. But that’s good; the stronger you are, the more I like it."

Back when his strength was weak, he was almost torn apart by a Thunder Dragon from the Qi Ling Mountain Range. Now he wanted to see what the difference was between the battle capabilities of Western and Eastern dragons!

Actually, Western and Eastern dragons are categorized by the Federation’s regional culture, but these creatures all come from the Inner World, which does not distinguish between East and West.

After transforming into this appearance, Xiong Ying opened his wide mouth at Wen Wen and spewed out a scorching flame, which, upon leaving his mouth, was only as thick as a soccer ball but expanded to over a meter in diameter by the time it reached a meter in front of him!

Wen Wen chuckled, flipping the longsword in his hand and slashing out a stream of ice at Xiong Ying, where ice and fire collided, producing a large amount of white steam.

His ice longsword, once a weapon of a Disaster Upper Order monster, combined with the strength driven by Wen Wen himself, released ice capable of rivaling Xiong Ying’s flames.

After the collision, Xiong Ying burst through the smoke, flames igniting on every joint of his body as he rushed towards Wen Wen at high speed.

Meanwhile, Wen Wen wore an expression of enjoyment, wrapping his body in a purple-black energy, spreading his arms as if welcoming Xiong Ying’s assault.

Even after transforming into a fire dragon, Xiong Ying’s strength was still far inferior to Wen Wen’s.

But Wen Wen, to enjoy the fight, deliberately used Yan Biqing’s ability to finely compress his own energy, maintaining it at a level comparable to Xiong Ying’s, so that he could enjoy the battle better.

After transforming into this form, Xiong Ying’s combat style was even more unrefined than before, so he was easily suppressed by Wen Wen, who possessed equal strength.

However, Wen Wen could feel that Xiong Ying was rapidly becoming familiar with his own strength, often catching attacks in the next round that he could not block before.

After dealing with three Prankster Sprites, Zhangsun Jing arrived at the scene, witnessing a battle between two Assimilation Realm superpower users that resembled a disaster scene and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

He assessed his own strength and then honestly stayed at the edge of the soccer field, knowing that if he interjected, even if no one targeted him directly, he would still be accidentally forced out.

So he could only wait for the outcome of the battle, hoping Wen Wen would emerge victorious so he could have a proper talk with Xiong Ying.

The pressure-filled combat made Xiong Ying’s blood boil. It was the first time he had fought in this state, and it was also the first time he could fight an opponent without any reservations. No matter how he attacked, the guy across from him handled it with ease.

During the battle, Wen Wen also recognized how troublesome Xiong Ying was; every time Wen Wen found a vulnerability and was about to defeat him, Xiong Ying’s strength, speed, and reaction ability would explosively increase beyond normal limits, allowing him to escape Wen Wen’s attacks.

These bursts of power would appear only for a moment, allowing him to escape danger before disappearing.

If Xiong Ying could maintain this state continuously, Wen Wen would find him not so easy to handle, even if he went all out.

In fact, the anomaly Wen Wen perceived was one of Xiong Ying’s abilities, known as ’Desperate Burst’.

Before encountering a danger that could completely disable his combat ability, Xiong Ying would automatically enter this state, where all his physical parameters would explosively increase to escape danger.

That was also the reason he had repeatedly evaded capture by the Qingchuan City Association; his ability was indeed a divine technique for battles within the same level.

Therefore, with such an ability, Xiong Ying let Wen Wen truly relish the fight.

However, as the fight carried on, Wen Wen realized something was amiss; the battle felt utterly devoid of passion.

Upon closer observation, he found that Xiong Ying was actually holding back against him!

Xiong Ying’s attacks, though seemingly fierce, were primarily aimed at subduing Wen Wen. Even if he hit Wen Wen, it would only result in a bruised face at most.

So, Wen Wen stepped back ten meters, frowning, "Don’t hold back, let loose, I’m not at the point where I need your mercy."

Xiong Ying shook his head, rejecting Wen Wen’s request, "Although I don’t want to join the Hunters Association, I know you have been protecting humanity. If not for my own reasons, I would actually like to join you."

Wen Wen shook his head in disappointment, "That’s how you feel... Well, I respect your thoughts... But this makes the fight uninteresting. You’d better be careful from now on; I’m going full force!"

What was previously just a covering of dark purple energy on his skin suddenly erupted, enveloping Wen Wen like a fierce blaze, making him appear like a Demon God descending to earth.

At the same time, Wen Wen’s eyes slightly reddened, tinging his entire demeanor with an aura hanging between insanity and sanity. Now, Wen Wen entered a Critical State!

Now, Wen Wen’s right hand possessed the Faceless Demon physique, and his left hand possessed the Yan Biqing physique. In the Critical State, he could use all the abilities of these two monsters.

Beyond that, each of his right hand’s five fingers harbored abilities from five different monsters. These abilities included:

The Angel of Universal Light’s ’Holy Light Shield,’ which could form a Holy Light shield around the body strong enough to withstand Disaster Level attacks!

The Fear Hand Demon’s ’Terrifying Claw Strike,’ when his palm struck the opponent, it could release a surge of terrifying magical power that not only caused substantial damage but also dampened the opponent’s will to fight.

As for the remaining three abilities, they are the Oxygen-Sucking Sheep Demon Yao’s ’Oxygen Absorption,’ Poker General’s ’Poker Dart,’ and Blackwater Princess’s ’Liquid Shaping’!

The other two Disaster Level monsters, the Underground Palace Monster and Little Red Riding Hood, did not possess abilities that Wen Wen found valuable.

So now, this was Wen Wen’s most powerful state!
