With that in mind, Xiao Xuan naturally began thinking about how to obtain those powerful traits. The best place for that would, of course, be the Ferocious Beast Forest.
“With my current strength, I at least have the power to protect myself. In Blackwater City, below the Innate Realm, there probably are not many people who can defeat me. But it is already dark now. Tomorrow morning, once my strength rises a little more, I will head to the ferocious beast zone and take a look!”
With that thought, Xiao Xuan prepared to sleep. After all, his strength was increasing every moment of every day. It seemed there was no need for him to cultivate anymore.
He glanced at the time. Night had only just fallen.
To prepare for his trip to the ferocious beast zone the next day, Xiao Xuan went to bed early.
Time passed quickly.
...
...
Five hours later, on the land thirty kilometers beyond Blackwater City’s ferocious beast zone.
BZZZ!!!
A massive spatial rift suddenly began to tear open across the ground.
At once, a terrifying abyss nearly one hundred meters in diameter appeared, stretching deep into the earth below.
ROAR!!!
A deep, furious roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the abyss.
At the same time, endless flames burst up from the subterranean cavern below.
ROAR!!
ROAR!!!
ROAR!!
...
In the next moment, countless flame beasts came roaring out of the cavern.
Every one of those cavern beasts was wreathed in violent fire.
The moment they emerged, the surrounding forest was set ablaze.
ROAR!!!
Then, at that very moment, another earth-shaking roar exploded from the depths of the cavern.
In the next instant, every one of the cavern beasts fell silent for a brief moment before charging in perfect formation toward Blackwater City.
...
Soon, from within that enormous subterranean cavern, a terrifying beast more than one hundred meters long slowly crawled out.
It was a Fifth-Tier Crimson Flame Demon Lizard!
As its horrifying body surged with towering flames, it slowly made its way toward Blackwater City.
Wherever it passed, the ground turned directly into a river of lava.
...
“City Lord, this is bad! We have detected energy fluctuations from a beast tide above the Fourth Tier. The beast tide is already pressing in from the direction of the East Gate!”
Blackwater City, villa district of the City Defense Army headquarters!
The commander of the City Defense Army rushed into the city lord’s villa in panic and shouted at the top of his lungs.
BOOM!!!
In the next instant, a middle-aged man clad in black-and-gold battle armor smashed straight through the alloy villa doors.
“A beast tide above the Fourth Tier? Then that means Fifth Tier! Are you certain?”
The face of Blackwater City’s lord, Luo Yong, changed drastically.
He was a Grandmaster.
That corresponded to a Fourth-Tier ferocious beast.
But Fifth Tier meant a Great Grandmaster-level ferocious beast.
Even though he possessed powerful Blue traits, and more than one of them at that, most Fifth-Tier ferocious beasts also possessed Blue aptitude traits.
“It is absolutely true, City Lord. At the very least, they are all Fifth Tier!”
The commander spoke with an ugly expression.
“Hurry! Notify everyone at once to evacuate through the West Gate!
And gather all martial artists. Come with me first and hold back the beast tide!”
Luo Yong shouted. The moment he finished speaking, he charged out of the villa in great strides, then leaped onto a hoverboard that happened to be flying past and sped toward the East Gate at top speed.
...
However, by the time he arrived at the East Gate and saw the Crimson Flame Demon Lizard outside the city walls, its body burning with raging flames, Luo Yong’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.
“Fifth Tier... Five Stars?!”
...
...
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
A world-shaking blast suddenly rang throughout the entirety of Blackwater City!
“What is going on?”
Xiao Xuan shot upright from his bed in an instant.
He glanced at the time. He had already slept for more than five hours.
【Warning, warning! A beast tide is approaching. Beast tide level: Fifth Tier! Danger level: City-Destroying!!
Everyone, including martial artists, evacuate with your families as quickly as possible, evacuate with your families as quickly as possible, and do not make pointless sacrifices!!】
【Warning, warning! ...】
【Warning! ...】
...
For a time, one tremendous broadcast after another echoed throughout all of Blackwater City. The moment he heard it, Xiao Xuan’s pupils contracted violently.
A Fifth-Tier beast tide. It was actually a Fifth-Tier beast tide.
A beast tide of that level was led by Fifth-Tier ferocious beasts that even Great Grandmasters could not resist, and there might be more than one of them.
The strongest person in the entire city, the city lord, was only equivalent to a Fourth-Tier ferocious beast in terms of power.
Compared to a Fifth-Tier beast, the difference was like heaven and earth.
That was precisely why the broadcast was telling everyone to flee for their lives.
Resist?
Resist with what?
The two sides were not even on the same level.
At that moment, Xiao Xuan remembered Mu Xiying’s warning from earlier, telling him not to go out at night.
“Could it be that she already knew the beasts were going to attack? Was that why she rushed back from the capital? But beast tides erupt in an instant. They are even harder to predict than earthquakes. How could she have known in advance?”
At that thought, Xiao Xuan frowned.
And by all rights, if Mu Xiying knew that a Fifth-Tier beast tide was coming, should she not have taken them away ahead of time?
Why had she only told them not to go out recklessly?
“Wait... could it be that Mu Xiying intends to deal with this Fifth-Tier beast tide herself?”
Xiao Xuan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
This was a Fifth-Tier beast tide.
Mu Xiying was only twenty-one.
Back when she had just turned eighteen, Mu Xiying had awakened a Blue trait.
After that, she had entered Blackwater University in Blackwater City.
But last year, she had suddenly awakened a Purple trait as well.
That was what had earned her admission to Nanhai University in the provincial capital.
And yet, now that she had returned this time, she possessed a Silver trait, along with many other traits marked as Unknown.
Could it be that she truly had the strength to contend with a Fifth-Tier ferocious beast?
Xiao Xuan was deeply shocked.
But he quickly accepted it.
The combined effects of his cultivation method and traits were only comparable to a single Silver trait, and even that had already made him this powerful.
Mu Xiying, on the other hand, had a whole pile of Gold traits amplifying her.
Her strength had to be absolutely terrifying.
A mere Fifth-Tier ferocious beast should be easy for her to deal with.
“Wait, a beast tide? Then that means a great many ferocious beasts are going to die. And that means they will drop a huge number of traits!”
At that thought, Xiao Xuan hurriedly opened his Supreme interface.
...
Eco Points: 2511
...
A full two thousand points and more.
“Put it all into Vitality!”
Xiao Xuan gave the command directly.
BOOM!!
In an instant, as his Eco Points were emptied, his Vitality began to surge wildly upward.
20
25
30
...
In the end, it rose straight to 40 Vitality.
That was the peak of the fourth layer of the Vitality Realm.
Feeling the powerful strength surging through his body, Xiao Xuan smiled.
Without hesitation, he seized the titanium alloy long saber Mu Xiying’s father had given him as a birthday present and stepped onto the balcony.
Then he leaped off it in a single bound.
BANG!!
“Xiao Xuan, hurry and run! The beast tide is here!”
At that very moment, the door to his room was kicked open by a burly man.
A middle-aged man rushed in at once.
But the moment he entered, he was stunned.
There was no one inside the room.
“My husband, Ying’er is gone too!”
At that moment, Su Qian ran over in alarm.
“Hm? Where is Xiao Xuan? Why is he missing too? Where could the two of them have gone in the middle of the night?”
The moment Su Qian saw the empty room, she was dumbfounded.
And as soon as she said that, Mu Long’s expression changed drastically.
“This is bad. Don’t tell me those two went on a date at a time like this?”
