Chapter 102: I’m Already Very Manly!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The ace rescue teams from the East Camp and North Camp grouped up, while the teams from the South Camp and the West Camp grouped up.
At the same time, the chief contacted the Future Center to provide support at any time.
They set off for Li Lake, a group searching up the east while the other headed west.
The odds were about the same, but Wang Ye had a feeling that he would somehow run into the Stone Ocean, so he let Sister Rui choose.
To the west!
“Keep in touch. If you see that the situation is not right, run,” Wang Ye said to Zhao Chi.
“I know.” Zhao Chi smiled and said to Wang Ye. “You have to be careful too. Aice will not let you off.”
“I’m just afraid she won’t come.” Wang Ye laughed.
With Sister Rui by his side, there was nothing to be afraid of, other than having to worry about her impulsiveness.
The four ace rescue teams all had ability users, so their search ability was great.
There was definitely an element of risk, but compared to being at the mercy of others and being ambushed in the wild, Wang Ye would rather take a controllable risk.
If Stone Ocean dared to come, he would dare to fight!
If he couldn’t beat them, he just hitch a ride on Sister Rui!
Chi!
Wang Ye quickly started farming along Li Lake.
He slashed at a hell-level monster that was resting on the shore. Its thick shell made his hand go numb.
He now somewhat understood how Yao felt that day. The Giant Turtle’s shell was indeed thick…
Boom!
A terrifying air-piercing sound came from behind him.
Wang Ye vaguely felt a sense of pressure as if a huge mountain was crashing down. With a boom, a giant golden hammer smashed the shell of the giant turtle into pieces. Blood and flesh flew everywhere. Wang Ye’s reaction was extremely fast. Before the giant turtle could breathe its last breath, he quickly delivered another slash.
[Killed level 7 turtle monster.]
[Potential Points: 1250—1350.]
That was close. He almost lost 100 potential points.
Wang Ye looked at the short-haired Song Shirui. She had sparkling earrings, a high nose bridge, and a golden hammer in her hand. Her wheat-colored skin was full of vitality.
She was just too energetic…
“You’re too weak.” Song Shirui raised her delicate chin.
Heh. Sooner or later, he would let her know how powerful he was!
He didn’t want to lower himself to the level of the woman with monstrous strength.
Wang Ye then charged at another hell-level monster that was fighting Brother Bao by the lake. Its limbs were thick and long, but it was agile. Its body was stronger than a cheetah, and it was extremely agile when it moved.
However, it was still a little lacking against Brother Bao. It was injured after a few exchanges.
Brother Bao’s axe technique dealt indiscriminate damage and specialized in dealing with monsters with weak defenses.
Whoosh!
Just as the hell-level monster was about to flee, a saber light suddenly appeared behind it. Following this, it fell into a pool of blood with two cracking sounds. It did not even know how it had been killed.
[Killed level 8 weasel monster.]
[Potential Points: 1350—1650.]
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.
He hadn’t even used the Strengthening Spell. With just his level 7 physical strength and exquisite saber techniques, he easily took down a medium-grade hell-level monster.
The basic reward was 200 potential points, and the cross-level reward gave him 1.5 the reward, which was 300 potential points.
This was a sign that he was going to soar!
There were many low-grade hell-level monsters and a few middle-grade hell-level monsters around Li Lake. It was the most suitable place for him to obtain potential points.
In just some time, his potential points had exceeded 2000.
Time to upgrade!
[Do you want to spend 2000 potential points to raise the level of the advanced Star Evolution Technique?]
[Yes.]
In the space of consciousness, Wang Ye transformed into a star and cultivated diligently.
As time passed, his mastery of the advanced Star Evolution Technique became increasingly proficient, and he quickly broke through to the proficient stage.
Whoosh!
Cosmic energy penetrated his body and his cells transformed.
The star core in his soul realm was shining brightly. As it expanded, his ability increased.
Level 7 genetic warrior, 32%. Level 7 ability user, 43%.
Both improved.
Wang Ye felt his strength increase.
Upgrading his cultivation technique was always the priority.
This was because other than directly increasing his strength level, doing so would also further accelerate his daily cultivation speed.
Moreover, the Star Evolution Technique’s characteristic was to enhance the six senses, so it was very practical.
4000 potential points for the next level.
Quite a lot.
If it were before, he would have to fight in the wild for three to four days, and he would have to be lucky enough to hunt a hell-level monster for him to achieve his goal.
But here…
A day should almost do it.
To be precise, just the daytime was enough.
Before sunset, Wang Ye successfully snatched another medium-grade hell-level monster from Sister Rui. With that, his potential points exceeded 4000.
Upgrade his talent!
[Advanced Star Evolution Technique, proficient — mastery.]
As the surging cosmic energy entered his body, Wang Ye’s strength soared.
Fast! Fast! Fast!
Level 7 genetic warrior, 72%. Level 7 ability user, 83%.
A 40% increase! His progress had increased by nearly half a level in an instant!
He was not far from level 8.
His ability now lasted longer, and his body was stronger.
Right now, he would be comparable to a level 9 genetic warrior once he fully unleashed his Strengthening Spell!
That being said, compared to a true level 9 genetic warrior, such as Sister Rui, he was still lacking in one aspect – the limit break skill of the Thirty-six Forms of the Advanced Saber Techniques!
At night, the two teams took a short break.
Wang Ye sat on a rock, drinking water and eating bread.
Looking at Song Shirui slurping down noodles next to him, he gulped.
“Where did you get the self-heating noodles?” Wang Ye was puzzled. Sister Rui didn’t seem like someone who would prepare so meticulously.
She should be the same as Brother Bao… Eating a plain bun, at most with some pickled vegetables or something.
“Old Huo gave it to me.” Song Shirui pointed into the distance. Her mouth was stuffed, and the corner of her mouth was stained with the spicy soup, making him want to take a sip.
Master Huo, huh?
Wang Ye looked at the captain of the Super Rescue Team, Huo Zhenshi, who smiled at him.
Help me get some water.” Wang Ye handed his water bottle over.
Song Shirui hummed and put her chopsticks into the noodles. She had just taken the water bottle when she saw Wang Ye pass her the bread again. She subconsciously used her other hand to receive it. The noodles in her hand somehow went into Wang Ye’s hand…
Slurp! Slurp! Slurp!
Wang Ye finished the remaining noodles and the soup in a few mouthfuls.
“Have some bread, Sister Rui. It’s also carbs.”
“Oh.” Song Shirui did not mind and directly took a big bite.
Huo Zhenshi’s face turned green.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp.” Song Shirui raised her head and drank the rest of the water. She then casually threw the bottle away and touched her hard abdominal muscles. Then, she propped her hand against the stone and looked at the moon in the sky, a little lost in thought.
“Thinking about something?” Wang Ye looked at her.
“…We used to be like this too.” Song Shirui’s voice was calm as she raised her chin slightly. “…He treated me like a brother, and 1 treated him the same. We ate and drank together, went on missions together, and fought together.”
“Hmm.” Wang Ye listened patiently.
When a woman was willing to confide in another, it meant that she trusted the latter very much.
“I’m too stupid and impulsive. I often make mistakes…” Song Shirui murmured.
She knew, huh?
“He was the one who would help me fix my mistakes and tell me that it was okay.” Song Shirui’s voice was very soft, which was rare. It was as if the softest part in the depths of her heart had been evoked.
Wang Ye knew who Ruirui was talking about.
Han Chaoyue, the former captain of the Beyond Rescue Team.
He placed his hand on hers and patted it gently.
“But he didn’t tell me that the price of growth would be so great!” Song Shirui gritted her teeth. Wang Ye held her trembling hand gently and firmly.
“Wang Ye, do you know that he’s dead? He died protecting that stupid me!” Song Shirui’s eyes turned red and she lost control of her emotions.
It’s over.” Wang Ye squeezed her hand and comforted her.
“1 made him die! Sob!” Song Shirui suddenly started bawling.
Wang Ye looked around and gave Brother Bao a look.
Bao Yuanding stood up immediately. With his big bald head, he walked towards the resting area of the Super Rescue Team fiercely. “What are you looking at? Have you never seen a young couple fight before?! Still looking? If you keep looking, I’ll dig out your eyes!”
Stretching out two fingers pretentiously, Bao Yuanding’s gaze fell on Song Shirui and he sighed.
He knew that his captain had been holding back for the past two years.
She cultivated crazily and killed demonic humans crazily, but inside, she felt terrible.
“Don’t blame yourself. You weren’t the one who made him die. It was those heartless demonic humans. It was Stone Ocean! It was Aice!” Wang Ye calmed Song Shirui’s emotions.
“You have to pull yourself together and avenge him!” He said as he wiped the tears off Song Shirui’s face.
“Yes, those damn demonic humans!” Song Shirui’s eyes shone brightly, and rage burned in her heart.
Suddenly, she was slightly stunned. She saw that Wang Ye’s face was less than an arm’s length away from her, and he was helping her wipe away her tears. For some reason, they were holding hands, and her heartbeat inexplicably sped up.
What was going on? What was this feeling?
“I will help you.” Wang Ye looked at her and quietly withdrew his hands. He knew when to stop so that he wouldn’t get hit.
“Don’t lie to me!” Song Shirui stared at Wang Ye. Today, she had a feminine air about her.
“I promised.” Wang Ye smiled and stood up.
“Yes! You’ll help me, and I’ll help you too!” Song Shirui nodded heavily.
“What are you helping me with?” Wang Ye asked in surprise.
Song Shirui thought about it, and her eyes lit up. “I’ll teach you how to fight! You’re too weak! I’ll personally train you after we destroy Stone Ocean! 1’11 raise your masculinity!”
“I’m already very manly!”
“Not enough!”

In Stone Ocean’s encampment, Priest’s long arms reached his knees, and white spots extended onto his shiny head. “Have you found out who did it?”
“Yes, a little fellow from before. 1 met him by the Lu River once,” Aice said with a smile. “It’s a pity that Xia Wuguang came at that time. Otherwise, he would be dead by now.”
He can actually beat you in strategy?” Priest was surprised.
“He probably caught the person who traded with me. No wonder I couldn’t contact him.” Aice thought about it and concluded.
“You were too careless.” Priest frowned.
“We’ve won too much that I’ve underestimated them. No wonder humans always say that pride leads to defeat. It must be the information about the reserve base city that exposed our goal. What a pity.”
“Forget it, it’s just the deaths of a few good-for-nothings. What’s the next plan?” Priest asked.
Do nothing. Let’s wear them down first, then slowly toy them to death.” Aice smiled.
Priest glanced at her. “Don’t go overboard. The ace rescue teams have already deduced that our encampment is around Li Lake. They might find us at any time.”
“This place is so secretive, it’s impossible for them to find us,” Aice said with a smile. “Even if they discover this place, it’s impossible for them to attack. The monsters in the lake alone are enough to keep them busy.”
Priest nodded. “We still have to be quick. I’ve received news that Demonic Awakening is already mobilizing advanced demonic humans. With True Demon Longyang as the leader, they’re preparing to attack again.”
“Yes, I know..”
