After continuously slaughtering them, the powerful aura emitted by Yi Tianyun frightened the snow wolves. Although they were not intelligent, their instincts were extremely sharp. The human before them kept repelling their attacks while killing their kin. At this rate, charging forward would only lead them to death.
"Oh? Getting cold feet now?" Yi Tianyun looked at the snow wolves that were beginning to fear him and smiled. This was the kind of power he needed.
"Awooo!"
A wolf howl echoed from the top of the mountain. Yi Tianyun looked upward. Illuminated by the moonlight and standing proudly atop the snowy peak was the Snow Wolf King!
"As expected of a boss monster, even its name is golden!"
Its cold eyes were locked onto Yi Tianyun, while the golden name floating above its head symbolized that it was a boss monster!
Yi Tianyun had been killing snow wolves nonstop in order to lure out the Snow Wolf King. This was a First-Level Intermediate Monster, likely comparable to the Eighth Level of the Body Refinement Realm, making it quite a challenge for him.
『Ding!』
The system notification rang inside his mind.
『Quest: Kill the Snow Wolf King!』
『Reward: 5,000 EXP and the ability to summon the Snow Wolf King as a mount!』
Yi Tianyun's eyes lit up. The rewards for this mission were incredible. Being able to summon the Snow Wolf King as a mount was an enormous display of prestige! Could ordinary people possibly tame such a savage beast? These monsters would rather die than become mounts for humans.
Now, as long as he killed the Snow Wolf King, he would be able to summon it as his mount!
"This is awesome. Hurry up and come down so I can kill you and turn you into my mount!" His eyes were filled with excitement. The greatest advantage of killing a boss monster was always the reward. Now that he had also accepted the quest, the rewards became even more exciting.
The Snow Wolf King stood atop the mountain, coldly observing Yi Tianyun. The surrounding snow wolves had all retreated, clearing a path for their king while remaining alert. Although they were weaker than Yi Tianyun, they still refused to submit.
"Awooo!"
The Snow Wolf King leaped down from the mountaintop. Its silver fur bristled like countless sharp needles as it rushed downward. Snow was blasted aside wherever it passed. Like a streak of silver light, it descended rapidly. In only a few breaths, the Snow Wolf King had already rushed down from the mountain peak. As it approached, its massive size became truly shocking.
The Snow Wolf King's body stood nearly two meters tall, towering above ordinary humans. With its massive frame alone, it could easily crush Yi Tianyun, not to mention its razor-sharp claws.
"Awooo!"
The Snow Wolf King immediately launched an attack, swinging its gigantic claws. Silver light flashed through the darkness, tearing apart the silence of the night as it attempted to rip Yi Tianyun into pieces!
From the beginning of the battle until now, Yi Tianyun had not moved even a single step. However, the moment the Snow Wolf King charged toward him, he was finally forced to move.
Yi Tianyun immediately used Eagle Claw Art, shaping his hand into claws as he collided directly against the Snow Wolf King's attack!
Under the violent clash, silver light and pale-blue light streaked across the air before colliding together.
Dang!
Frost Fist collided against the giant claws like two metal weapons smashing into one another, producing an explosive sound that pierced the ears like countless silver needles.
After the violent collision, both sides were knocked backward. However, Yi Tianyun was pushed much farther away. After finally stabilizing himself, he discovered deep marks carved into the ground beneath his feet. Meanwhile, the Snow Wolf King had only been forced back a few steps, clearly demonstrating its superiority in raw physical power.
The greatest advantage of beasts like this was their physique. Their overwhelming strength alone was enough to crush humans into pulp!
"What tremendous power. I almost couldn't block it." Yi Tianyun's palms trembled slightly as numbness spread through his hands. "You really are the perfect opponent to warm up before my duel…"
Yi Tianyun never fought battles he was not confident of winning.
"Awooo!"
The Snow Wolf King's huge eyes were filled with disdain. In its view, the human before it was extremely fragile. Without giving Yi Tianyun even a moment to rest, it charged toward him again with astonishing speed, turning the battle increasingly one-sided.
"But it's time to finish this. Otherwise, the EXP card bonus will expire!"
Yi Tianyun laughed loudly as a wave of freezing energy erupted from his hands, spreading outward in a radius of one hundred meters. Every snow wolf nearby, including the Snow Wolf King, was instantly frozen solid!
However, none of them died. They were merely frozen in place. Yi Tianyun felt somewhat reluctant after spending thirty Crazy Points just to activate Frost Fist's special effect.
Killing a snow wolf only granted him five Crazy Points, so using them like this was far from cost-effective. But he had no choice!
Immediately afterward, Yi Tianyun rushed forward and grabbed the Snow Wolf King. Then he activated Absorbing Stars Great Technique. Streams of spiritual power erupted from his body and struck down the surrounding snow wolves, causing his EXP to rise rapidly.
『Gained 100 EXP, 80 EXP, 120 EXP…』
The numbers continuously increased. Combined with the Ten Times EXP Card, the amount of EXP he received became astonishing. At this moment, he finally felt that spending thirty Crazy Points had been completely worth it.
"Activate Crazy Mode!"
The moment Crazy Mode activated, the EXP gains multiplied even further!
『Gained 120 EXP, 96 EXP…』
Crazy Mode doubled the EXP gains. Since he already had the Ten Times EXP Card active, the effect did not become twelve times. Instead, it became twenty times EXP!
The amount of EXP he was earning was absolutely insane.
However, the true main course was naturally the Snow Wolf King itself. He needed to kill it before the Ten Times EXP Card expired.
"Let me end your suffering!"
Yi Tianyun roared as he launched a heavy punch toward the Snow Wolf King. The Snow Wolf King howled miserably but remained unable to move because of the freezing effect.
"Still not dead yet, huh…"
Yi Tianyun was somewhat surprised. He did not expect the Snow Wolf King to survive all that damage. Its hide was incredibly tough.
"Activate Double Damage!"
Crazy Mode possessed another effect: Double Damage!
This increased his Crazy Point consumption from one point per minute to two points per minute. However, Yi Tianyun did not care. The battle would end quickly, so he did not need to worry about excessive consumption.
"Just die already!"
Yi Tianyun roared as he punched forward once more. This strike carried twice the power of before, completely piercing through the Snow Wolf King's hide.
Puchi!
The Snow Wolf King's body was pierced through by the punch as blood splattered everywhere. It collapsed to the ground, twitching for a few moments before finally dying.
"Awooo…"
The Snow Wolf King struggled painfully several times before its fierce eyes finally lost all signs of life.
Its tough hide had been pierced through completely. Crazy Mode truly was terrifyingly powerful. Although the consumption was high, the increase in strength was enormous.
"Awooo!"
After seeing their king killed, the remaining snow wolves immediately turned and fled. None of them dared approach Yi Tianyun anymore.
"This feeling…"
A confident smile appeared in Yi Tianyun's eyes. Today's battle had reached its climax. As long as the rewards matched the effort, he was willing to give everything he had.
『Quest Completed!』
『Reward: 5,000 EXP and the ability to summon the Snow Wolf King as a mount!』
『Ding! Successfully killed the Snow Wolf King! Gained 1,000 EXP, 100 Crazy Points, one pair of Snow Wolf Boots, and 500 Gold!』
『Ding! Congratulations! Host leveled up to the Ninth Level of Body Refinement Realm!』
Yi Tianyun finally decided to call it a day. Not only had he completed the quest, but he had also gained another level. Although killing the Snow Wolf King did not reward as many treasures as he expected, obtaining these items from a small boss was already quite good.
Immediately afterward, he opened the Status Window, and detailed information appeared before him.
