Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Good idea!”

Tang Haofei gave Wen Yu a thumbs-up.

”But your strength...”

It wasn’t that Old Tang looked down on Wen Yu’s strength; it was just that the current situation was very clear. The group of people outside weren’t the weaklings found on Earth, whom Wen Yu could kill as he pleased. In fact, among these people, Wen Yu’s strength probably ranked in the lower-middle tier!

”Isn’t that why you’re here? I’ll take on Heavenly Dao and Da Luo from above, and you can help me deal with the remaining minor troubles. Fair, right?”

”Indeed, very fair...” Tang Haofei said helplessly.

Wen Yu shifted his position and spoke again.

”Old Tang, don’t think I don’t know your cunning tactics. You actually want to do this too, right? Otherwise, why would you keep whispering in my ear about ’the Challenger’s Trial has issued an alarm’ and things like that? Once we go in, I’ll fulfill your wish! Rest assured, don’t be afraid of death. If dying once isn’t enough, then die a few more times. After we get out of there alive, for every resurrection you’ve used up—every one less than you have now—I’ll owe you a favor. What do you think?”

Hearing Wen Yu’s words, Tang Haofei fell silent for a long moment. Then, he cracked a wide grin, baring a mouthful of large white teeth, resembling a shark about to devour its prey. His eyes narrowed into slits, a cruel, fierce glint faintly visible within them.

”Then it’s a deal!”

As the most powerful expert on Earth, Tang Haofei hadn’t come this far by merely being cynical and fooling around.

He and Tang Haofei were in the restaurant discussing some follow-up plans. Generally speaking, there wasn’t much of a plan; Tang Haofei would simply take the lead and eliminate anyone they encountered.

From a certain perspective, such a simple and brutal plan was actually the most efficient!

And most importantly, the rewards from this plan were also the greatest!

Tang Haofei would have a challenge target and an opportunity to gain resurrection charges. Wen Yu would face fewer competitors and could also acquire the magic crystals these deceased individuals had hunted. Killing Demon Fiends himself? How could that be faster than robbing others?

Not to mention the Origin Energy of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes that Wen Yu himself needed.

Originally, Wen Yu had intended to use his status as the Young Master to obtain a large quantity of items containing the Origin Energy of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, allowing himself to achieve Evolution into a divine beast. However, Heavenly Dao had brutally cut off this path.

Under these circumstances, continuing to hunt the natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes became the best option.

Since Heavenly Dao had made the first move, what was wrong with Wen Yu retaliating? As for the war situation in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes...

Wen Yu truly didn’t care about such things at all!

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...

The crisp sound of knocking interrupted Wen Yu’s one-sided explanation of the ”specific plan arrangements.”

Casually retracting the dark energy field, Wen Yu first took a sip of water, then slowly said, ”Come in.”

CREAK...

The private room door made a soft sound, revealing Luo Hai’s humble and respectful smiling face.

”His Highness the Young Master.”

This guy again... Wen Yu sighed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged as he asked with apparent curiosity, ”Oh, it’s Brother Luo Hai. Is there something you need?”

”Nothing...”

As Luo Hai walked into the private room, he very politely closed the door behind him. Shameless, Wen Yu thought, observing how Luo Hai, without waiting for an invitation, presented himself as if he were thoroughly welcome.

”I’ve come this time mainly to advise His Highness the Young Master to be wary of a few individuals.”

Wary? I should be wariest of *you*!

Though he was cursing inwardly, Wen Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he asked in the same tone, ”And who might Brother Luo Hai be referring to?”

”Outside, when the Young Master just walked in, did you happen to see that bare-chested, powerfully built man, about eight feet tall?”

Wen Yu nodded. The man Luo Hai described was indeed conspicuous, even among the natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, who were generally much taller than Earth Humans. Coupled with his rippling muscles and an undisguised aura of ferocity, Wen Yu naturally had a vivid impression of him.

”That man is the leader of the team sent by the Continuation Faction this time; his name is Wu Long. With him are a few others: a woman, an old man, and someone who looks like a child.”

”These four constitute the main squad of the Continuation Faction for this mission, and all of them possess exceptional strength. I fear they may pose a threat to the Young Master, so I’ve come specially to urge the Young Master to be extremely cautious of these individuals when you venture into the Demon Tribe-occupied zone.”

Wen Yu smiled, cupped his hands at Luo Hai, and said, ”Thank you for your kind intentions, Brother Luo Hai.”

This Luo Hai, Wen Yu thought, came to see me and rambled on about being careful of this person and that, but I didn’t really listen to any of it. The plan with Tang Haofei is already set. Inside the Demon Tribe-occupied zone, everyone except Tang Haofei is a target to be wary of.

Perhaps sensing Wen Yu’s perfunctory attitude, Luo Hai chuckled, rose, and respectfully took his leave.

”He came quickly and left just as quickly,” Old Tang, who was nearby, offered a tactical analysis. ”He probably sensed the additional barrier field in this private room and came specifically to investigate.”

Wen Yu nodded in agreement.

His preconceived notions meant that Wen Yu simply didn’t believe a word Luo Hai said at that moment.

”However, I did take note of those people he just mentioned,” Tang Haofei added. ”Their strength is indeed formidable.”

”So what?” Wen Yu asked nonchalantly, swirling the cup in his hand.

Hearing Wen Yu’s words, Old Tang gave a dry laugh and said no more.

Wen Yu understood Tang Haofei’s ability system, and Tang Haofei himself understood it even better. To use Wen Yu’s own words: ”If you can’t beat them, just die. If dying once isn’t enough, die a few more times. Under the systems of the Challenger’s Trial and the Life and Death Battle Execution, there’s no problem that can’t be solved. If there is, it just means you haven’t died enough times!”

They waited in the private room for several more hours. Just after noon, a clamor suddenly erupted outside.

”Lord Heaven’s Path has arrived!”

An unknown person with a coarse, grating voice yelled in a tone that made one’s scalp tingle.

Hearing this voice, Wen Yu glanced at Tang Haofei, then rose and walked out of the private room.

Outside, at the main entrance of the restaurant, Wen Yu immediately spotted Heavenly Dao’s figure floating in mid-air.

The crowd sensibly parted to make way for Wen Yu. Meeting Heavenly Dao’s expressionless gaze fixed upon him, Wen Yu sighed inwardly and strode towards Heavenly Dao.

”Greetings, Senior Brother.”

”Junior Brother, no need for excessive courtesy. Come stand by my side for now.”

Regardless of what topics Wen Yu and Heavenly Dao had discussed privately, the proper etiquette and forms of address in public were absolutely essential.

Seeing Wen Yu and Tang Haofei standing beside him, Heavenly Dao finally retracted his gaze and looked out at everyone present.

His gentle voice wafted into the ears of everyone present, like a soft breeze.
