Laws of Nature: Fire-Elemental (0.2%), Wind-Elemental (0.1%)

Others: Some increase

These were Meng Lei’s current personal stats.

His bloodlines, Wealth, Physical Body Const.i.tution, Spirit, Magic Power, and Laws of Nature comprehension had all undergone a dramatic change.

Within which, there was only one factor contributing to his spike in Physical Body Const.i.tution—the G.o.ds-Slaying Rat bloodline.

After this particular fearsome bloodline—that he had picked up via the chargeable function Limitless Pickup—had been a.s.similated into his body, Meng Lei’s Physical Body Const.i.tution had gone from 1 billion to 11 billion.

It had risen by a whole 10 times and more!

Apart from that, it had also given Meng Lei extraordinarily quick speed and extraordinarily strong defenses, as well as two different types of magic talent—wind-elemental and dark-elemental magic talent.

It could be said that the a.s.similation of the G.o.ds-Slaying Rat bloodline had given Meng Lei great benefits. And yet, its bloodline a.s.similation rate was only... 1%!

Now, that was crazy.

Just how fearsome was that bloodline!?

Meng Lei found this normal, though.

According to the system, the G.o.ds-Slaying Rat was a Deity-level Magical Beast whose strength was absurdly powerful. Even in the vast and boundless universe, the creature was rarely ever seen.

In fact, because it was too much of a mutant, it attracted the heavens’ jealousy. As a result, the G.o.ds-Slaying Rats were unable to form packs and could only live in solitude by themselves in the world.

One could imagine just how big of a mutant that creature was.

Therefore, what did the tenfold improvement of his body post-a.s.similation even count as?

What did obtaining extraordinarily strong defenses and speed even count as?

What did the 1% bloodline a.s.similation rate even count as?

This was basic operations, and one mustn’t be that impressed!

Keep calm, everyone!

Because of this, Meng Lei was very calm and composed when facing Ol’ Amos’ astonishment.

You’re already that astonished? This doesn’t even count as much yet...

When I’ve earned enough, I’ll boost the 1% bloodline a.s.similation rate. You can be astonished again when that happens.

“Stop being so smug. Hurry and take care of that Golden Steel Wind-Ape first!” Ol’ Amos sighed and said, “You don’t have much time left. You still have to take part in the exchange compet.i.tion tomorrow.”

“Alright,” said Meng Lei in response, and then he promptly activated a first-cla.s.s spell.

Rasp!

A green translucent wind blade several hundred meters long abruptly appeared and hurtled toward the Golden Steel Wind-Ape at lightning-quick speed.

Its speed was incomparably fast. The astonis.h.i.+ng thing was that everywhere that the wind blade pa.s.sed by, a gash was ripped directly into the air as if it were a piece of cloth.

It was the wind-elemental single-target first-cla.s.s spell—Dimensional Blade.

Roar!

Upon sensing the life-threatening danger, the Golden Steel Wind-Ape hastily ran into the distance in an attempt to avoid the Dimensional Blade’s attack.

“Do you really think you can get away?”

Meng Lei shook his head lightly.

Rasp!

In just the twinkling of an eye, the Dimensional Blade crossed the 100-meters distance and arrived at the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s neck.

Roar!!

During the moment of crisis, the Golden Steel Wind-Ape hastily raised its arm and protected its neck. As a crisp rip rang out, the Dimensional Blade easily cut through its arm to slice into its neck. It was only after it sank a dozen meters or so deep into its neck that it dissipated completely from the depletion of force.

Boom!

A segment of the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s arm landed onto the ground. It was as though a towering tree dozens of meters thick had fallen, and the impact from the crash caused the ground to shake violently.

Splurt!

Black blood spurted everywhere, dyeing the silver-colored ground black. Severe pain a.s.saulted the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s nerves, causing it to let out sad and shrill cries.

“Goodbye, big guy!”

Before anyone even realized, Meng Lei had circled to the back of the Golden Steel Wind-Ape. Then, he tossed yet another Dimensional Blade out.

Splurt!

This time, the Golden Steel Wind-Ape was no longer able to block the attack, and the Dimensional Blade sliced cleanly across its neck.

Boom!

At once, the Golden Steel Wind-Ape froze on the spot, becoming still and motionless while a thin, narrow line of blood appeared at its neck.

The very next second, its head slid off and fell onto the ground with a great crash.

The system notification rang out in a timely fas.h.i.+on at this point.

“Ding! 1 Golden Steel Wind-Ape killed. 10.3 billion gold coins gained!”

“10.3 billion gold coins into the pocket!”

A smile appeared on Meng Lei’s visage, and he glanced habitually at his Wealth value—3.91 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, which when converted into gold coins, equated to 39.1 billion gold coins.

“39.1 billion gold coins! This isn’t enough yet! Far from it!”

Meng Lei didn’t indulge in self-satisfaction. There were simply too many things that he needed money for. Disregarding how his magic power and spiritual power desperately needed to be boosted, he needed money for just his Laws of Nature degree of comprehension, his bloodline a.s.similation rate, and the Limitless Pickup function alone.

.1 billion gold coins—that was nothing but just a drop in the ocean!

“Continue!”

Meng Lei gouged out the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s magic core. Then, his gaze lingered on its carca.s.s, reluctant to part with it. He really wished he could take it with him, but unfortunately, his spatial magic devices didn’t have the s.p.a.ce to store it. Thus, he could only abandon it.

“However... This guy is a Wind-Elemental and Metal-Elemental Magical Beast. Even though I can’t take its carca.s.s with me, can I take its metal-elemental magic talent?”

Meng Lei got into contact with the system right away. “System, if I use Brutal Plunder, will I be able to take the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s metal-elemental magic talent? If it’s possible, how many gold coins will it cost?”

“To answer the host, it’ll cost 2 billion gold coins!”

“2 billion? What the h.e.l.l? That’s so G.o.dd.a.m.n expensive! Never mind, just take it anyway!”

The next moment, his Wealth decreased by 2 billion gold coins in an instant.

“Ding! Plunder successful. Will you a.s.similate it?”

“Yes, a.s.similate it!”

“Great! Time to go!”

Whoos.h.!.+

His environment changed right away.

Meng Lei had already reached the 33rd level.

At the same time, in the outside world...

“Level 33! That monster named Meng Lei has gone up to Dragon G.o.d Tower’s 33rd level!”

“What a mutant! All the levels from the 31st one onward are overseen by Saint Domain Magical Beasts, yet he can actually still pa.s.s through them! Just how big of a mutant must he be to achieve that?”

“O’ Dragon G.o.d above! It’s hard to imagine that a monster like that is really from the 15 kingdoms and 48 dukedoms! How inconceivable!”

“The hardest thing to understand is that he’s actually human! Since when have the humans ever produced a monster like that?”

Everyone let out gasp after gasp of astonishment as they gazed at Meng Lei’s name—all of them had been astounded by him.

16 years old!

Level 33!

Just what kind of G.o.d-like achievement was that?

“Angus, our Meng Lei is pretty pa.s.sable, right?” President Fred, who was all smiles, asked as he gazed at Angus, the muscular old man.

“Stop acting so smug, Fred!”

Angus snorted, his complexion becoming a dull purplish-red from anger. “A monster that can rank in the top few positions of history such as Meng Lei comes only once in 10,000 years. Your Fire Dragon Magic Academy was just lucky, that’s all!”

“You’re absolutely right! Our academy certainly has tremendous luck. However, Meng Lei ultimately still comes from our Fire Dragon Magic Academy and not your Black Dragon Academy,” replied a chuckling President Fred in retaliation.

The Fighting Dragon Academy president also followed up with an attack and added, “An old Black Dragon like you has already gotten on so much in years. Don’t you even know the simple principle that luck is also part of one’s skill?”

Angus had an awful look on his countenance, unable to rebut their statements.

“He’s gone to Level 34!”

“What the heck? He’s advanced again?”

“Why has he become even faster now, as compared to when he was in the first few levels?”

Just as the three of them were conversing with each other, gasps of astonishment rang out next to them again—Meng Lei’s ranking had risen again.

“No. 438: Meng Lei, Human, 16 years old, Level 34”

“That kid Meng Lei is even stronger than what we had imagined!”

Fred and the Fighting Dragon Academy president exchanged a look with each other, unable to stop an odd look from appearing in their eyes.

They were aware that Meng Lei had advanced to Saint Domain, but the strength that he was currently exhibiting was clearly stronger than typical Saint Domains that had just broken through. After all, his speed at making it through the rounds was simply too fast.

Level 31 → Level 32 → Level 33 → Level 34!

He was pa.s.sing through each level at a faster speed than the previous.

Just what kind of speed was that?

“Fred, I don’t know if you’ve noticed this yet.” The Fighting Dragon Academy president suddenly said, “Isn’t that kid Meng Lei a Fire Dragon Person? Why is the ranking displaying his race as Human?”

Fred replied slowly, “Meng Lei undoubtedly possesses the Fire Dragon bloodline. I’ve seen his Dragon transformation with my own eyes!”

“Since that’s the case, then there’s only one possibility left—that kid is just like you. He’s also a possessor of double bloodlines!”

“That’s the only possibility left now!”
