CHAPTER 470: CHAPTER 122 STEEL STRAIGHT MAN IS A BIT OVERWHELMED!_2

Su Yan returned to his room, fetched a set of clean clothes, and then entered the bathroom to shower.

He took a cold shower, as it helped him feel more awake. GUSH. The water poured down. Su Yan stood under the icy spray, a relaxed expression on his face, and began to reflect on the night’s events.

I need to see if I missed anything.

Old Shu’s true form isn’t just within the Half-step Mythical Level Category; it’s suspected to be as high as the Mythical Level Category...

An Shihua is acting strangely...

The enemies aren’t just Foreign Races; they could also be from the Human race, like that archer who shot from hiding...

The Old Ancestor of the Qin Family didn’t show up on the battlefield; that’s also very strange...

My strength has increased again after today. Old Shu’s shell appearing with its whole family... it feels suspiciously like it was just delivering experience points to me...

As Su Yan was lost in thought, Jiu Li’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Master, are you inside?"

Her voice was somewhat lazy, as if she had only just woken up.

She must have been woken up by the sound of the water.

Su Yan replied, "Yes, I just got back. I’m taking a shower and getting ready for bed."

"Master, I’m hungry..." Jiu Li said, a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, the corner of Su Yan’s mouth twitched slightly. He revised his earlier guess: It wasn’t the sound of the water that woke her; she woke up because she was hungry.

"Master?"

When her master didn’t respond, Jiu Li asked again, puzzled.

Sigh, I’m really going to be drained dry this time...

Su Yan sighed inwardly, then said, "Alright, I get it. I’ll come to your room after my shower. Be patient."

A moment later, after finishing his shower, Su Yan, however reluctant, kept his word. He walked into Jiu Li’s room, his steps heavy as if under a great burden.

In the following period, Jing City was relatively peaceful.

Since the last attack by Old Shu’s shell, there had been no further attacks from Foreign Races. If there were any, they were minor incidents and caused no serious harm.

However, Su Yan received some information from Sister Zhou: the number of Yin entities in the Jingdou suburb was increasing again. And it was a ridiculous increase—even more than before Su Yan had ’harvested’ them.

Something’s not right.

Could this be a precursor to the next anomaly?

After all, the Mirror World contained many different scenes: modern cities occupied by Demonic Plants; mysterious prairies where Yin entities roamed unchecked; and vast Primordial Worlds where Giant Beasts were as common as stray dogs.

Perhaps...

The number of Yin entities in the Jingdou suburb was increasing. This is likely a sign that an anomaly related to the mysterious prairie is about to descend.

Worried another tragedy might occur, Su Yan immediately teamed up with Sister Zhou to explore the suburb. They would also hunt, hoping to enhance his strength as much as possible.

「Jingdou suburb.」

Su Yan used Telekinesis to draw a beautiful, evil-doing Yin entity toward him, crushing it with one hand.

[Detected an Epic Level Soul Bead]

[Do you choose to Devour?]

[Option 1]: Yes

[Option 2]: No

[Devouring will immensely enhance spiritual power and Qi and Blood Value, as well as increase Charm Value]

Seeing the prompt appear in his mind, Su Yan didn’t hesitate. He devoured it right in front of an envious Sister Zhou.

[Swallowing Successful]

[HP +666+666+666...]

[Spirit +666+666+666...]

[Charm +1+1+1...]

Su Yan couldn’t help but let out a sound of pure satisfaction. "Ah, that feels good."

He had thought the increase in the suburb was only in numbers. He hadn’t expected to encounter an Epic Level Yin Object.

This somewhat proves my earlier speculation correct; the second anomaly might really be about to arrive.

I need to be prepared this time. I can’t afford to suffer heavy losses like during the Old Shu’s shell incident again, Su Yan murmured softly to himself.

During the Old Shu’s shell incident, a three-digit number of teachers and students had tragically perished. It was a tragedy that still weighed heavily on the hearts of every teacher and student in Jingdou, refusing to fade.

After briefly acclimating to his enhanced body, Su Yan said to Sister Zhou, "Sister Zhou, take me to the next place. All the Yin entities here are dealt with."

Sister Zhou curiously asked, "Su Yan, what is your current Creature Level?"

As a seasoned Monster Hunter, she was beginning to have trouble discerning Su Yan’s strength. No matter how terrifying the Yin entity, none could withstand his punch. Consider the beautiful Yin entity he had just executed: it was shrouded in dense Yin Energy and was clearly no low-level Yin entity. At the very least, it was above Half-step Epic Level.

Yet! Such a terrifying Yin entity was utterly annihilated by Su Yan’s seemingly unremarkable punch.

To be honest, that’s a bit too much.

Facing Sister Zhou’s confusion, Su Yan lied without batting an eye, "It’s alright, just in the Half-step Epic Level Category."

What? Half-step Epic Level Category!?

Although she had somewhat anticipated it, Sister Zhou was still unavoidably shocked to hear the answer directly from Su Yan.

This is preposterous!

Su Yan only started university less than a year ago; he’s still a brand-new freshman. But his Creature Level has already evolved to Half-step Epic Level. Is he trying to defy the heavens? Give him another two years—wouldn’t he be able to thrash the president of Jing University?

At this thought, Sister Zhou couldn’t help but gasp. This young man is terrifying!

Meanwhile, seeing Sister Zhou’s stunned expression, Su Yan felt a secret thrill of satisfaction.
