“Lu Wei, you came at the right time. Help me move this Pangolin Beast.”

Chen Xue, on the other hand, looked completely uncaring.

Lu Wei stepped forward, grabbed the Pangolin Beast’s corpse, and tossed it to the ground.

“Chen Xue, what exactly are you trying to do?”

Chen Xue also sneered and said, “If you guys aren’t going to avenge Brother Zhou, I will! This Pangolin Beast was alone. It took me a lot of effort to kill it.”

“Alone?”

“That’s right. Do you think I’m so foolish as to really charge into the lair of Pangolin Beasts and fight them to the death?”

“But even if it was alone, don’t you know that Pangolin Beasts live in hordes? Do you think it’s just a coincidence that a lone Pangolin Beast is a demon? It could be a patrolling demon.”

Having stayed in the South Mountain Base for so many years, Lu Wei knew the Pangolin Beasts too well. These Pangolin Beasts were very territorial. As long as they were within the territory, they would even send Pangolin Beasts to patrol like humans.

If a patrolling Pangolin Beast disappeared, it would be troublesome. Those Pangolin Beasts would definitely riot.

“How can there be such a coincidence? I didn’t even approach the lair of the Pangolin Beasts before discovering this Pangolin Beast not far from our base.”

Chen Xue seemed to be very happy. Killing an Pangolin Beast abated a lot of her anger.

“Chen Xue, you’re too rash. I’ll report this matter to the Chief Commander. I’m not sure if the Chief Commander will punish you when the time comes.”

“Whatever.”

Chen Xue carried the Pangolin Beast and left. A Pangolin Beast demon was still very valuable, especially since it could be exchanged for merit value.

In the South Mountain Base, the merit value obtained by the inhuman experts on a single guard mission was really too little. For example, Lin Feng, the Chief Commander, could only obtain 10 merit value per year for a guard mission. As for ordinary inhuman experts, they could only obtain five merit value per year.

If they relied on just five merit value, they’d have to wait forever to earn enough merit value to purchase things like martial arts, cultivation techniques, and equipment they needed from the Martial Domain’s online

shop.

Those were very expensive.

Thus, the best way to obtain merit value was to hunt down those dire beasts or demons. For example, for the Pangolin Beasts, a dire beast king was only worth a little merit value, while ordinary dire beasts gave no merit at all.

Killing or capturing an ordinary demon alive would earn them five merit value. If it was a demon general, that would be a different story. They could obtain 50 merit value at once.

Of course, it was extremely difficult to kill a demon general. Even ordinary demons were very difficult to kill. Although Chen Xue said it was easy, she must have undertaken a tough battle with the demon to kill it in the end.

Seeing Chen Xue leave on her own, Lu Wei opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

“If Chen Xue continues to do whatever she wants, sooner or later, she’ll doom herself and the entire South Mountain Base. She can’t stay in the South Mountain Base anymore.”

Lu Wei thought for a while, but finally made up his mind and rushed towards Lin Feng’s residence.

“Success!”

In the secret chamber, Lin Feng sensed the surging Astral Power in his body. It was not a strand or two strands of Astral Power, nor was it the original 523 strands.

It was a total of 2,600 strands of Astral Power!

Normally, when martial artists ascended from the First Level of Metamorphic Realm to the Second Level of Metamorphic Realm, their Astral Power would increase explosively for an instant. It was the same for Lin Feng. He originally had more than 500 strands of Astral Power, and now, it had increased to 2,600 strands in an instant. It was simply incredible.

Normally, the limit for a Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist was only 999 strands of Astral Power. However, Lin Feng had already exceeded the limit of an ordinary Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist, and even had over twice the Astral Power of peak Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

Moreover, this was not Lin Feng’s limit. His Astral Power could still continue to increase, and even reach more than 5,000 strands eventually.

Although Lin Feng had expected such a huge amount of Astral Power, he was still somewhat shocked that so much Astral Power had really appeared at once.

With 2,600 threads of Astral Power, even when he deployed the Void Bubble, at full force, he would be able to deploy six Astral Bubbles at once. Even if he had to deal with multiple enemies, Lin Feng wouldn’t be afraid anymore.

Moreover, the power of Astral Bubble could increase with Astral Power. For example, condensing the most basic Astral Bubble costs Lin Feng 400 strands. However, if he used 2,600 strands of Astral Power to condense a single Astral Bubble, how powerful would it be?

Lin Feng had never tried it before, but he could roughly guess that a Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist would definitely not be able to resist it. After all, the difference in Astral Power alone was too great.

Currently, Lin Feng had already broken through to the second level of the Metamorphic Realm. He was in a good mood. In the future, he could slowly condense this Astral Power, and there was no rush.

As for the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm, after Lin Feng experienced such a dangerous process of breaking through this time, the next time, he certainly would not dare to attempt a reckless breakthrough again if he did not have absolute confidence in breaking through.

It seemed like in the following period of time, apart from condensing Astral Power and increasing his strength, he would also need to focus on tempering his mental will. Otherwise, the next time he wanted to break through, it wouldn’t be as simple as facing 500 strands of Astral Power, but more than 5,000 strands of Astral Power.

If his mental will was insufficient, not only would he be unable to break through, his life would also be in danger after he failed to break through

“Chief Commander, Captain Lu Wei requests an audience. He says that he has an urgent matter to report to the Chief Commander.”

The guard outside the door came to report again. Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. Why was Lu Wei here?

Hearing that Lu Wei was here, Lin Feng remembered Chen Xue, who often came to look for him some time ago. Why was there suddenly no movement? It seemed like she had not “harassed” him for a few days.

This was quite strange. Chen Xue was very persistent and would not give up easily, yet she had not come for a few days in a row. Could something have happened to the base?

At this thought, Lin Feng stood up and opened the secret chamber, preparing to meet Lu Wei.

When he arrived in the living room, Lu Wei was already waiting. “Captain Lu, what’s the emergency?”

Lin Feng asked calmly.

“Chief Commander, please apply to the higher-ups to transfer Captain Chen Xue away.”

When Lu Wei saw Lin Feng, he said directly, and his tone and attitude were very sincere.

“You want me to transfer Chen Xue away?”

Lin Feng was a little surprised. He could tell that Lu Wei was actually the one who truly cared about Chen Xue and was close with her in the South Mountain Base. Why did Lu Wei ask to transfer Chen Xue away instead?

“Chief Commander, Chen Xue is too rash. She violated the ban I issued previously and left the base without permission to hunt the Pangolin Beasts. If she continues to stay in the South Mountain Base when she’s so unrestrained, I’m afraid not only will she be in danger, the entire South Mountain Base will be in danger as well.”

Lu Wei briefly explained how Chen Xue left the South Mountain Base without permission. Lin Feng also gradually understood how dangerous Chen Xue’s actions were to the base.

Lin Feng frowned. Lu Wei did not rush him and waited quietly.

After a long while, Lin Feng stood up and said calmly, “Let’s go and meet Captain Chen

Xue.”

Lu Wei’s gaze was a little confused. He did not know why Lin Feng was going to see Chen Xue at this time, but he still nodded and led the way for Lin Feng.
