Seeing Wen Wen suddenly close his eyes, Bai Cang was unsure of Wen Wen's intentions. What if his appearance was a ploy to lure Bai Cang into attacking him?
This was the best opportunity for Bai Cang to escape, but Wen Wen suddenly became motionless. Would fleeing now be a waste of a chance?
After a brief moment of hesitation, Bai Cang decided to shoot Wen Wen first to gauge the situation. However, as he raised his long spear, he discovered that Wen Wen had suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confidence.
That cunning brat, closing his eyes was indeed a trick to deceive him!
The time Wen Wen spent in that consciousness space was not short, but in reality, only a very short time had passed, so short that Bai Cang barely had time to test Wen Wen's condition.
With his eyes open, Wen Wen willed himself to activate Black Body, experiencing the power within and murmuring, "So, I've reached the Assimilation Realm now?" Su Dan Novel Network
"I thought there would be some earth-shattering change, but it's just this... Still, it's enough."
In fact, Wen Wen had changed a great deal, a tremendous amount!
His personal power had reached a catastrophic level, and due to the superiority of the 'Black Body' ability, even though he had just stepped into the catastrophic domain, Wen Wen's strength was comparable to Qin Shuang, an anomaly in the lower order!
However, he was already accustomed to catastrophic-level power, so the enhancement of his own strength only made him feel incredibly fulfilled, but it did not bring him any new experiences.
It was like someone who constantly interacted with tycoons who say 'small goals' and 'I don't like money' would not feel that earning a million yuan was a big deal, but in reality, it was already very good compared to ordinary people.
The most important gain was breaking through the power barrier, freeing Wen Wen's power from being confined within the catastrophic middle order.
His own strength, combined with Qin Shuang's physique and the Faceless Demon Body, made Wen Wen far surpass ordinary catastrophic middle-order individuals, his strength being similar to Bai Cang before his recent outburst.
As for Bai Cang, having had his power absorbed by Wen Wen, his strength could no longer be maintained at the upper order level. With this ebb and flow, the current Bai Cang was no longer Wen Wen's match!
"I should thank you. If not for fighting you, I might still be stuck where I was. So, I want to repay you."
Bai Cang asked warily, "Repay me by not stopping me and letting me leave directly?"
Wen Wen shook his head and said, "No, I mean, to have a fair fight with you!"
With that, Wen Wen leaped up more than ten meters, gripping his ice sword with both hands and slashing at Bai Cang. Seeing Wen Wen's sudden assault, Bai Cang could only block Wen Wen's sword with his spear shaft, while his body was covered in golden dragons.
With this sword strike, the overflowing power formed an ice mountain over a meter wide and more than ten meters tall behind Bai Cang.
Then, this ice mountain was crushed by the collision of forces, turning into ice shards that reflected sparkling light under the sun.
"His power, compared to before, is simply worlds apart. How did he achieve this!" Bai Cang's hands were numbed by the impact, and he looked at Wen Wen with great shock, jealousy rising within him.
He had to take such risks to get a chance to become stronger, yet this guy in front of him had become mysteriously stronger just by fighting him?
What kind of twisted logic was this!
But Wen Wen's attack was not over. He continued to press Bai Cang with his ice sword in his right hand, while snapping his fingers with his left, summoning a Tomahawk steak.
A Tomahawk steak... a steak?
Bai Cang's eyes widened. What was this person doing with a steak?
Then, under Bai Cang's stunned gaze, Wen Wen used this Tomahawk steak to hack at his shoulder, drawing a wisp of blood.
"A steak can also cut people..."
"Who says a steak can't cut people?" Wen Wen retorted seriously.
The two fought fiercely for another ten minutes. During this time, Bai Cang tried to escape, but no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't outrun the javelins Wen Wen threw. Finally, he couldn't hold on and was cut down by Wen Wen with a steak.
The moment Bai Cang was defeated, a strand of seven-colored energy, invisible to ordinary people, emanated from his body, seemingly wanting to return to its owner.
But before this energy could fly a meter, it was intercepted by Wen Wen's hand and entirely absorbed into the containment facility.
Looking at the still-covetous Disaster Gloves, Wen Wen muttered helplessly, "Really, after absorbing so much, you don't even give me a little feedback."
Bai Cang, lying on the ground, looked desperate. The seven-colored energy he had painstakingly absorbed before had all vanished after his defeat.
Even if he died now, as long as that power remained, his death would at least have been for the pursuit of strength, making it meaningful.
But with just one failure, that power disappeared. This meant that the strength he had pursued never belonged to him; it was merely illusory power.
Seeing Bai Cang's contorted expression, Wen Wen raised an eyebrow. He didn't know what this person was raving about, but since he had been captured, he was now at Wen Wen's mercy.
First, Wen Wen seized his Dragon Patterned Spear, then stripped him of his armor. These items should be considered his spoils of war.
Wen Wen busied himself with a smile for a long time, tying Bai Cang up securely, knocking him out again, and then standing there for a long time. His smile gradually turned grim, as if he were contemplating something.
He raised his head, letting the dappled sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves shine on his face, his expression complex.
Bai Cang, in his pursuit of power, had become a traitor to the Hunter Association. And Wen Wen himself, what was the difference between his situation and Bai Cang's?
Perhaps, he too would soon become a target for the hunters, just like Bai Cang.
However, he would not be captured so easily like Bai Cang, and might even display a few impressive counter-kills.
After a moment of thought, Wen Wen finally made up his mind. He turned towards Chief Investigator Zheng's location, his expression indifferent as he said, "Come out. I know you've been watching me for a long time, ever since I started working with Yan Que."
Chief Investigator Zheng, who was stroking his white stubble, trembled. He had actually been discovered?
Being able to say it started from working with Yan Que meant that Wen Wen was not speaking without basis, but had genuinely sensed his tracking.
Since he had been discovered, Chief Investigator Zheng no longer hid himself. He simply stepped out from the shadows, clapping his hands and marveling at Wen Wen, "Young people nowadays are truly terrifying. Even when I follow other True Order superhumans, they can't necessarily detect me."
Wen Wen shrugged, "Perhaps I'm a bit more perceptive than other True Order superhumans. I don't know your exact identity, but judging by your strength, you should be a Deputy Chief Investigator."
"The reason you're tracking me is none other than to investigate my relationship with the Cataclysm-level powerhouse 'Black Cross'."
"Then, as you can see, my previous fight with Bai Cang has confirmed your suspicions. What do you plan to do? Kill me or arrest me?"
