Chapter 76 No Small Gain

"This Wild Boar King leader is quite strong, possessing a dual-attribute special talent?"

Upon discovering the true strength of the ferocious beast before him, Ye Ningze was secretly astonished.

It was known that such a talent could only increase a ferocious beast's strength by twofold, whereas a basic talent could boost it threefold.

Among elite martial artists of the same level, ferocious beasts could not compare in terms of sheer strength.

This was because elite martial artists cultivated Yuan Force, and with the enhancement of Yuan Force, the strength of ferocious beasts could not match that of martial artists.

But one must not forget.

Ferocious beasts possessed bloodline talents!

Once a ferocious beast awakened its bloodline talent, human martial artists would be utterly outmatched.

Most crucially, the Wild Boar King leader before him possessed a dual-attribute talent, making it incredibly difficult to deal with.

This, in turn, meant the increase in its strength was even more substantial.

Despite his surprise, Ye Ningze immediately unleashed his Bronze-level saber technique and pressed forward.

Roar!

The Wild Boar King leader let out a low growl, its two sharp tusks at its mouth appearing ferocious.

In a flash.

Before the surrounding lower-level ferocious beasts could react, Ye Ningze's black saber struck the Wild Boar King leader.

Clang!

With a loud noise, Ye Ningze, wielding his black saber, retreated rapidly.

Clearly, the blow had not landed, and the mutated Wild Boar King remained virtually unmoved.

Although Ye Ningze's probing attack had left his tiger's mouth slightly numb, it had successfully gauged the beast's strength.

"Fifty thousand jin of strength," Ye Ningze mused inwardly.

The Wild Boar King leader before him possessed a physical strength of fifty thousand jin, and this was even before it had activated its bloodline talent.

Once its bloodline talent was unleashed, its total strength would be around one hundred fifty thousand jin.

"As expected of a ferocious beast renowned for its strength, its might is indeed formidable!"

Ye Ningze employed his movement technique, circling in the air, and began to strategize.

Most high-level elite martial artists, even if they had comprehended a strength talent, likely couldn't wield a terrifying strength of one hundred fifty thousand jin.

"Fortunately, my true strength is at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. If an ordinary elite martial artist were to face this ferocious beast, they might perish on the spot!"

Ye Ningze felt a sense of relief.

Even Ye Ningze, with his peak Grandmaster cultivation, was currently unable to do anything about the Wild Boar King leader.

The strength Ye Ningze was currently displaying was at the elite martial artist level, with a physical strength of twenty thousand jin.

Even with full exertion, unleashing his peak Grandmaster strength, it would only reach around fifty thousand jin.

Coupled with his numerous talents and the Bronze-level saber technique, his physical strength would at most be around one hundred twenty thousand jin.

This level was still insufficient to instantly kill the Wild Boar King leader.

"It seems I can only engage in a war of attrition!"

Ye Ningze's eyes darted, and he immediately formulated a combat plan.

Since he couldn't overpower the ferocious beast in terms of strength, he would wear it down until it died!

After all, Ye Ningze possessed a top-tier self-healing talent.

If they were to engage in a war of attrition later, the Wild Boar King leader would be no match for him.

"Roar!"

The Wild Boar King leader let out a roar and spat a large mass of flames from its mouth.

The flames transformed into a fire dragon, sweeping towards Ye Ningze.

Ye Ningze's previous failed attack had already ignited the Wild Boar King leader's ferocity.

Seeing the fire dragon approaching, Ye Ningze repeatedly used his movement technique, evading in the open space of the valley.

As long as one's realm reached that of an elite martial artist, their martial artist Yuan Force could transform into a shield to defend against attacks.

However, facing this level of flame attack, Ye Ningze did not activate his shield at all.

The direct attack of the fire dragon had been dodged by Ye Ningze, and as for the scattered flames, they were neither worth dodging nor could they be blocked.

"Shadow Kill!"

Ye Ningze leaped before the Wild Boar King leader. The Bronze-level saber technique, combined with the triple speed enhancement, made this saber strike terrifying.

If an ordinary elite martial artist were to take this strike, they would be crippled, if not killed.

But the Wild Boar King leader was no ordinary elite martial artist.

The enhancement from its basic strength talent not only granted it immense strength but also astonishing physical defense.

It used its head to directly block Ye Ningze's strike.

With a boom!

The Wild Boar King leader stumbled back a few steps, a deep gash appearing on its forehead, from which a large amount of blood flowed.

"Roar! Roar!!!"

The Wild Boar King leader froze for a moment, then let out a furious roar.

How could it have imagined that the Ye Ningze it had considered a mere insect moments ago, a humble human that could be easily killed with a casual gesture, would now wound it?

In an instant.

The Wild Boar King leader resumed its battle with Ye Ningze.

However, this time, the Wild Boar King was clearly more serious than before.

But the struggles of the Wild Boar King leader were all in vain.

Ye Ningze, with his self-healing talent, although unable to defeat the Wild Boar King leader in a short time due to the disparity in strength, would eventually gain the upper hand if the battle dragged on.

In less than the time it takes for a cup of tea to brew, Ye Ningze's body was covered in burn wounds from the flames.

In contrast, the Wild Boar King leader was covered in saber wounds inflicted by Ye Ningze.

It looked even more miserable than Ye Ningze.

"Heal!"

Ye Ningze muttered inwardly, and the burn wounds on his body began to repair themselves continuously.

In the blink of an eye, his injuries were mostly healed.

Seeing his wounds recover, Ye Ningze gathered his strength and re-entered the fray, full of vigor.

The Wild Boar King leader, however, was different.

Lacking the self-healing talent, its injuries did not recover, causing them to worsen and its condition to deteriorate.

Two minutes passed.

With a thunderous crash, the Wild Boar King leader finally collapsed onto the ground in defeat, its life force extinguished.

As the Wild Boar King leader fell dead, its pupils remained dilated.

Its eyes did not close in despair, clearly unable to comprehend until its death how this weak insect, Ye Ningze, had managed to kill it.

In reality.

Even without the top-tier self-healing talent, Ye Ningze would still have had a chance to win.

After all, he possessed a speed talent, which made the peak Grandmaster Ye Ningze much faster than the Wild Boar King leader.

By utilizing this speed advantage, Ye Ningze could continuously evade the Wild Boar King leader's attacks.

He could also sneak in occasional sneak attacks, which, combined with his black saber and Bronze-level saber technique, would eventually wear down the Wild Boar King leader.

But Ye Ningze chose not to do that; instead, he opted for a direct confrontation.

It was acceptable for him to sustain some damage; the main concern was the lack of time.

Ye Ningze did not want to waste any time.

Subsequently, Ye Ningze quickly dealt with the remaining wild boars before turning his gaze back to the corpse of the Wild Boar King leader.

The blood of intermediate-level ferocious beasts was valuable, especially that of a Wild Boar King leader possessing dual special talents.

Besides fetching a good price, it was also a good option for him to temper his body.

Therefore, Ye Ningze did not waste this beast blood.

The Wild Boar King leader was sufficiently large, and Ye Ningze collected about a hundred portions of intermediate-level beast blood.

These hundred portions of beast blood alone were worth several million, representing a significant harvest.
