Chapter 428: Chapter 302: The Experience Panel’s Bug_2

Tang Wen casually wrote in the Unity Mirror:

"Lan’Er, I’m underground. This is a matter of great importance.

I’m being hunted right now, but don’t worry, I can handle it.

I discovered that the Huang Family is using a Curiosity, the [Flesh Factory], to cultivate some men in black. They’re actually at the Fifth Grade level, but they’re simple-minded and fight without fear of death.

They also have incredible recovery abilities. Even after being repeatedly pierced by lightning, with their flesh charred and cooked, they can still heal!"

Seeing him write furiously,

Hu Yun said with satisfaction, "Try to be as detailed as possible. Write down all of my judgments."

’Your judgments?’

Tang Wen nodded silently as he continued to write: "After my analysis, I believe this type of powerful meat-shield soldier is something our White Tiger Tribe could use!

Hu Yun believes that (crossed out).

Hu Niannian, the other White Tigers, and that Hu Yun all think I’m right.

Right now, I no longer care about the results of my own trial. I only want to figure out how this batch of black-clad men was cultivated!

And more importantly, whether there’s a possibility we could use them for ourselves.

It’s foreseeable that once our White Tiger Tribe masters this cultivation method, our situation in the Ten Thousand Mountains will improve dramatically!

This page is short, but my thoughts are long..."

After dashing off the long message, he checked it over.

Hu Yun’s name appeared only once in the entire text.

Tang Wen was secretly pleased, but after reading it through again, he felt it wasn’t quite right.

So, he changed the original text to: "Hu Yun has some insight and strongly seconds my proposal!"

After sending the message, he put away the Unity Mirror.

Don’t misunderstand. This wasn’t some "green tea guy" stealing credit.

The main reason was that the prospective Saintess, Hu Yun, didn’t seem to hold the Saintess, Hu Lan, in high regard.

So, of course, Tang Wen couldn’t mention her too much.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he just be causing trouble for his dear Saintess?

’The Saintess is busy with countless affairs. I’m just concerned for her, that’s all. What bad intentions could I possibly have?’

"Should we just kill them now?"

The commotion just now was considerable. Lightning had poured down like a flood, and more men in black might be on their way.

The Thunder Rock Crocodile Turtle interjected, "This mining area hides several Fifth Grade Thunder Department Exotic Beasts. This kind of violent thundercloud phenomenon happens often."

Tang Wen nodded. The Huang Family knew this area well too.

’Since it happens often, the chance of them chasing us down immediately is much smaller.’

Tang Wen decided, "In that case, Niannian, you go stand guard in the air."

Hu Yun had no objections.

To be safe, Tang Wen used his Concealment ability to hide the two people on the ground, along with everyone else and the tigers.

Feng San Niang, who hadn’t been much help on the way here, took out a pen and paper from a strange stone, glanced at her pocket watch, and began diligently recording the recovery speed of the two men.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

The two men on the ground were now covered in red scabs.

They covered them from head to toe.

At a glance, they looked like two red mummies.

Hu Yun’s Spiritual Power continuously swept over the two men.

The excitement in Hu Yun’s eyes never faded.

Everyone could feel that the two men’s conditions were steadily improving, their auras growing stronger bit by bit.

From being on the verge of death to having stable heartbeats and healing over with scabs—it had only taken a short hour.

This absurd Recovery Ability was something no one had ever even heard of, let alone witnessed.

’Could they actually wake up?’

Tang Wen muttered to himself and glanced at the Old Crocodile Turtle.

The old turtle wasn’t staring at the two men in black; instead, it was pondering the size-changing Secret Technique that Hu Niannian had passed on to it, frowning one moment and smiling the next.

The Old Crocodile Turtle hadn’t had much interaction with people.

It didn’t understand the concept of "face."

After it finished reading the contents recorded in the jade,

it pestered the two White Tigers, asking questions nonstop.

Tang Wen listened in for a bit as well.

’Humans can’t learn the Secret Techniques of Exotic Beasts. I’m just broadening my horizons.’

Half a day passed with the Old Crocodile Turtle chattering on, asking questions relentlessly.

It was old, and its ability to learn wasn’t very strong.

It often had to ask the same question several times before it understood.

The three White Tigers took turns teaching it, yet they remained patient.

If it had been up to Hu Niannian alone, it would have likely thrown in the towel long ago.

After nearly a full day,

the Old Crocodile Turtle finally understood the principle.

Then, on its first attempt at using the Secret Technique, it managed to shrink its body by a third.

Meanwhile, Tang Wen, who had been listening in for a long time and thought he had grasped the Essence of this Secret Technique, couldn’t even make an attempt.

"I’m going out to try it!"

The Thundercloud Crocodile Turtle flew out of the concealed area excitedly, craning its neck to twist its head and look up at the thunderclouds in the sky.

Tang Wen and the others watched with anticipation.

The Thundercloud Crocodile Turtle’s combat power was impressive. Offensively, it could control thunder; defensively, not even a torrent of lightning could break through.

It could serve as the tank for defense, with Hu Yun as the main attacker, launching surprise assaults on the enemy.

The White Tigers would be responsible for control and containment.

The team’s composition was nothing short of perfect.

As for Tang Wen, he positioned himself as the commander.

’The kind of commander where, if something goes wrong, it’s the subordinates’ fault, but if there’s success, it’s because of his brilliant leadership.’

He even had a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged secretary with a slender waist who was charming and attentive—Feng San Niang.

If not for the inappropriate setting, Tang Wen would be eating hotpot and singing songs right now!

In the blink of an eye, a few minutes passed.

Far longer than the thunderclouds’ usual reaction time.

’It worked!’

Tang Wen’s eyes lit up.

It could freely control its body size and would no longer be struck by lightning every moment.

Tang Wen wouldn’t have to divert his attention to concealing its aura.

The terrifying combat power of the Black Rock Crocodile Turtle, a Peak of Fifth Grade beast, was finally unleashed.

The Old Crocodile Turtle had lived for nearly three hundred years and hadn’t been this excited in a long time.

Disguised as a Sixth Grade crocodile turtle, it circled around in the sky.

Like someone who had won the lottery, it was bursting with excitement but couldn’t tell anyone.

CRACKLE... The sound of scabs breaking apart rang out.

The scabs on the Blood Men on the ground all cracked and fell away.

Their newborn skin was deathly pale, like a corpse that had been dead for over ten days.

It seemed that all their injuries had completely healed.

But the men had yet to wake up.

Hu Yun didn’t know medicine, and neither did the White Tigers.

Feng San Niang quietly approached to observe them. "Their spirits seem very weak. Their heartbeats are much weaker than before, but still slow and strong. Judging from their pulse, they’re really like people recovering from a serious illness."

The injuries were healed, but the men hadn’t woken up.

The Thundercloud Crocodile Turtle drifted down from outside. After hearing Feng San Niang’s assessment, it mused, "Sounds like their Spiritual Power was damaged by the purple lightning."

The energy density of purple lightning is extremely high.

It’s not comparable to ordinary white lightning.

"If that’s the case, then they’re just unlucky."

If one’s Spiritual Power or Sea of Consciousness is injured, it’s questionable whether they can ever wake up.

Hu Yun stepped forward and casually hit them with a few Spiritual Whips.

As a result, they merely furrowed their brows unconsciously, without even making a sound.

Hu Niannian waved its little paws. "Don’t wait! Let’s just kill them and be done with it!"

Hu Yun wanted to take the two men with her. Once back at the White Tiger Tribe, someone would be assigned to study what they were.

Tang Wen could guess what she was thinking. "If we can obtain the Huang Family’s secret for cultivating these men this time, then we don’t need to keep these two. If we can’t, the Huang Family will definitely cultivate more of these useful pawns. If we investigate secretly, we’ll get our hands on it eventually."

After a few seconds of silence, Hu Yun agreed, "Then let’s kill them!"

There were more men in black in the Thunder Jade Mine.

And the Huang Family was lurking in the shadows.

It would be unwise to spare someone to guard two Fifth Grade experts at a time like this.

Besides anything else, what would they do if they captured more prisoners later?

Hu Niannian immediately stepped forward but was stopped by Tang Wen. "Make them stand up. I’ll use the Night Divine Fist to kill them."

Hu Yun agreed. "I can do it too."

A White Tiger’s attack would leave very obvious marks.

Hu Niannian suggested, "Can’t we just destroy the bodies and remove all traces?"

Still, the two figures on the ground stood up.

The group only felt the surroundings darken as Tang Wen blasted them with a [Shadow Kill].

BANG!

He used one-tenth of his strength.

The Fifth Grade figure he hit did him the favor of swaying slightly, but its skin didn’t even turn red.

The few people around him suppressed smiles.

’It’s understandable. After all, Tang Wen is only an Extraordinary!’

’To have such combat power as an Extraordinary is already impressive.’

BOOM!

His muscles bulged as his Spiritual Power erupted.

Tang Wen held back no longer.

[Shadow Kill]

[Night Battle Eight Directions]

[Shadow Killers]

[Ghost Shadow Hand]

...

After unleashing a full set of the Night Divine Fist,

the people behind him were wide-eyed with astonishment.

’Is he really an Extraordinary?’

’With that kind of power, people would believe you if you said he had just entered the Fifth Grade!’

The corners of Tang Wen’s mouth curved up, a glint in his eyes.

[Visualization Martial Arts, Night Divine Fist, Expert (2400→2500/12000)]

His experience had actually increased by a hundred points.

’I guessed right!’

The full-power combo he had just unleashed was judged by the Experience Panel as "All-out attack, fierce battle with a Fifth Grade."

’I’ve found a bug!’

A thrill went through him. This was a rare opportunity!

’Again!’

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Although the Fifth Grade man in black was strong,

he couldn’t actively defend himself. Relying solely on his physical toughness, after being pummeled twice by Tang Wen, the bones and tendons on one side of his body were broken.

"What are you doing?" Hu Yun and the others didn’t understand.
