Early the next morning, Shen Ling woke up early and began his hunting journey with Xiao Hei.
Since Xiao Hei's actual combat power was comparable to that of a typical Leader-Class Disaster Beast, they targeted high-level elite catastrophe beasts.
By noon, Shen Ling had already collected five Enhanced Orbs with an ability value exceeding 300.
After a short rest, Shen Ling made up his mind to hunt one last time before returning to the safe zone.
Then, Shen Ling and Xiao Hei continued deeper in the direction of Principle Dragon City.
By noon, Shen Ling had already exited the assessment area, but both he and his beast did not stop their movements.
After walking for about half an hour, Shen Ling arrived at a small lake where dozens of catastrophe beasts were drinking water. However, none of them were targets that Shen Ling wanted to hunt.
As time slowly passed, just when Shen Ling was about to give up on hunting, a completely black leopard with dazzling golden spots appeared before him.
Its long and agile body gracefully stepped from the forest to the lakeside.
Then, as if sensing Shen Ling's presence, it suddenly turned its head and locked eyes with him.
----
Catastrophe Beast Name: Killer Leopard
Race: Secondary Species - Beast Clan
Race Potential: Elite Level
Growth Level: Low-Level Leader
Description: A catastrophe beast that has mutated due to the influence of the disaster spirit realm. Its original form is a cheetah, and it is recognized as an assassin-type catastrophe beast due to its innate affinity for Dark Element. It is the uncrowned king of the night.
The Killer Leopard was one of the prey that Shen Ling had been searching for on behalf of Xiao Hei. Although it was not the top choice, its Low-Level Leader combat power made it a suitable opponent for Xiao Hei.
Moreover, the fact that this mere Elite Level creature had managed to break through its race's potential and grow into a leader only heightened Shen Ling's expectations.
"Xiao Hei?"
Howl! (Master, I am ready!)
"Kill!"
Without needing further instructions from Shen Ling, Xiao Hei sprang into action, its Domain Skill already spreading out.
The distant Killer Leopard, clearly unfamiliar with such tactics, was still puzzled when the Shadow Binding skill was unleashed, causing it to fall into a disadvantageous position.
However, being a leader-level creature, the Killer Leopard quickly broke free from the bindings with a surge of strength. Dark energy swirled around its body as it launched a counterattack towards Xiao Hei.
Unwilling to back down, Xiao Hei activated the Shadow of Instant Kill. Within the Absolute Shadow Domain - Remnant, Xiao Hei transformed into a bolt of black lightning.
Swoosh!
Xiao Hei's claws glimmered with dark light as a splash of blood erupted forth. A large chunk of flesh was torn from the Killer Leopard's back, prompting it to let out a pained cry.
Yet this was not the end. Just as Xiao Hei paused for a moment, it darted back with even greater speed.
Taking advantage of the Killer Leopard's wails, the Shadow Slice skill was unleashed. A wisp of ghostly light flowed through the Killer Leopard's chest, creating a massive gash.
Breathing heavily after these attacks, Xiao Hei cast a cold glance at the still-living Killer Leopard, preparing to deliver the final blow.
The Killer Leopard, being a leader-level combatant, could not tolerate Xiao Hei, a mere Elite Level catastrophe beast, launching repeated attacks against it.
Ignoring the excruciating pain, it activated a certain Enhanced skill.
A deep crimson light emanated from the Killer Leopard's eyes as waves of dark attribute energy coalesced around it.
At that moment, the last flicker of vigilance in Shen Ling vanished.
Dark attribute energy?
Xiao Hei was the true master of the Dark Element. With the talent Absolute Shadow activated, Xiao Hei let out a long howl and casually walked through the Killer Leopard's final strike.
Unscathed.
In the astonished gaze of the Killer Leopard, Xiao Hei's last Shadow Slice took its life.
"Well done!"
Even though Shen Ling had witnessed countless grand spectacles, he couldn't help but sincerely praise Xiao Hei's outstanding performance.
Approaching the corpse of the Killer Leopard, he activated Soul Grazing Touch to analyze its comprehensive abilities.
Physique: 6800 / Attack: 772 / Agility: 680 / Defense: 286 / Element: Dark Element 35 / Will: 80
Overall Combat Power: 653
Skills: Unlocked.
Talent: Unlocked.
"Please select the ability you wish to extract."
Upon seeing the Killer Leopard's Willpower Ability, Shen Ling had some guesses.
Perhaps the key to surpassing the potential of the race lies in willpower?
However, at this moment, Shen Ling chose the Dark Element Ability, which was not particularly outstanding for the Killer Leopard. After all, Dark Element was rarer than other elements.
After extracting the Dark Element Enhancement Orb, Shen Ling and Xiao Ji began their journey back.
On the way, a Low-Level Leader class Howling Spirit Ape blocked their path again, but with the cooperation of Ya Zai and Xiao Hei, they managed to defeat it.
Shen Ling also extracted an Attack Enhancement Gem with an impressive ability value of 865.
At three in the afternoon, with just two hours left in the assessment task, Shen Ling finally returned to the entrance.
At the door, Yan Wudao had been waiting for a long time.
Since Shen Ling was not a participant in formal training, the so-called assessment task was merely something that Yan Wudao had decided on a whim. Upon seeing that Shen Ling looked well, Yan Wudao casually asked, "How did it go?"
Shen Ling remained silent, quietly taking out eleven Beast Claws from the Spatial Device.
With his extensive knowledge, Yan Wudao immediately recognized these as remnants of Elite Disaster Beasts, and his expression changed instantly.
"What happened?"
Shen Ling shook his head mysteriously. "It's a secret!"
Yan Wudao merely shrugged and chose not to pursue the matter further.
“Senior Sister specifically asked me to wait for you. She has discovered an evolutionary direction for the Blazing Tiger that will greatly benefit you. You should head to the Alliance soon; she’s already waiting for you.”
“By the way, since you passed the assessment, you’ll be attending training at the City Guard tomorrow. A true warrior must grow through battle!”
“Hmm, huh?”
Shen Ling was still pondering what plan Senior Sister had discovered.
Upon hearing about the training, he snapped back to reality and was just about to ask when Yan Wudao had already vanished without a trace.
Shaking his head in resignation, Shen Ling found the direction to the Alliance and made his way there at a leisurely pace.
As he walked, Shen Ling contemplated how he could cover up Ya Zai's advancement. However, despite thinking of numerous excuses, each one had its flaws.
Before long, Shen Ling arrived at the Alliance and headed towards the room where Qian Mengxue was located, following his memory.
Just as he reached the door, he heard Qian Mengxue’s furious roar from inside.
“What did you say? The Spirit Conjurer Alliance in Shancheng contacted us and demanded that we provide evolution data on the Secondary Catastrophe Beast unconditionally? You tell them that unless they provide equivalent data, they can dream on!”
Crash!
The sound of something shattering echoed from within, causing Shen Ling to shiver. He hesitated, unsure whether to enter.
“Just come in if you’ve arrived!”
Qian Mengxue's voice had returned to normal, but there was still a hint of anger beneath the surface. Shen Ling awkwardly smiled and slowly walked in.
"Senior Sister!"
"How did the mission go? I heard from Yan Wudao that he actually sent you to hunt an Elite Disaster Beast. That's simply outrageous!"
"It seems you didn't complete it either, but the result isn't what matters. The process and experience of fighting the catastrophe beast are what truly..."
As Qian Mengxue spoke, her voice gradually lowered.
The reason was simple: Shen Ling had once again taken out the eleven Beast Claws from her storage device.
