"Commander Chen!"
Several nearby security team members tried to rush to his aid, but they were pinned down by other Source Beasts, unable to break free.
Just as the claws of the cyan wolf-like Source Beast were about to slam down on Chen Yuan’s head—
"Whoosh—!"
A razor-sharp spear streak, like a meteor tearing through the night, arrived in an instant!
"Thud!"
The spear pierced precisely through the eye socket of the cyan wolf, skewering its brain!
The once-arrogant ninth-tier Source Beast froze mid-motion.
Its massive body stiffened for a split second before collapsing to the ground with a heavy thud. After a few spasms, it fell completely still.
A pitch-black spear was lodged diagonally into its skull, the shaft still trembling faintly.
The battlefield fell into dead silence.
It was as if everyone had been paused mid-action.
Su Qi reached out, gripped the Lu Jin Spear embedded in the wolf’s head, and pulled it free with a slight tug.
Chen Yuan, too weak to lift his head, spoke in broken gasps: "Wasteful… That spear… shouldn’t have been used here..."
But Su Qi didn’t seem to be in a good mood. "I don’t take orders from you."
A dark purple shadow spread from beneath Su Qi’s feet, creeping across the battlefield like a living thing.
Then came an unbroken chain of explosions.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!"
Each detonation was accompanied by the violent rupture of one or several Source Beasts.
No dazzling light effects, no wild surges of energy—just pure, internal disintegration.
Flesh, shattered bones, and organs, mixed with foul-smelling fluids, rained down in a macabre storm.
The ferocious beasts that had been roaring and charging mere moments ago were now reduced to scattered fragments in the air.
They didn’t even have time to let out a complete cry.
The assault came to an abrupt halt.
The chaotic, clamorous battlefield was suddenly plunged into an eerie stillness.
The scene was nothing short of breathtaking.
But by all logic, Su Qi’s decisive spear strike shouldn’t have been used here.
A tenth-tier Source Beast still lurked in the distance, watching intently.
Yet, when you’re actually on the battlefield, witnessing scenes like this firsthand—
How much rationality can you really hold onto?
Humans are contradictory creatures.
Su Qi had the optimal solution from the start.
He could’ve used his spear to instantly kill a ninth-tier Source Beast, then let the spillover AOE damage clear the field.
As for the tenth-tier beast, he could’ve relied on Liu Yuan’s fatal-counter ability or simply awakened "The Abyss."
But he refused.
The former—what if the damage wasn’t lethal enough and left the beast critically wounded?
The latter… Using power far beyond his limits in battle might invite backlash. Or worse, what if the authorities forcibly conscripted him into the "Celestial Abyss" afterward?
Too many things to consider.
It sounded cold-blooded.
But humans are creatures driven by self-preservation.
Put another way…
People starve to death every day in the world.
You know it happens.
Yet most wouldn’t risk everything to stop it.
Or take some outrageous injustice—you might rage online with the crowd, but how many would actually step forward and say, "Let’s gather evidence together. We can win this"?
Most acts of kindness stem from situations where personal stakes are low.
But when you truly have the power to save lives…
Watching them vanish before your eyes…
That’s asking too much of anyone.
Yet even Chen Yuan—a man infamous for valuing his own skin—had charged onto the battlefield, ready to die…
Su Qi couldn’t help but feel he should do something.
So why are humans born so conflicted?
With Su Qi’s spear strike turning the tide, the rest became much easier to handle.
"Hummm—!"
The jagged breach in the barrier suddenly flared with a surge of pale blue energy, the fractured edges reconnecting!
Though far dimmer and unstable compared to the rest, it was finally… repaired!
The flood of Source Beasts pouring in was abruptly cut off.
A few that had charged too fast slammed into the newly formed barrier and were torn apart by the violent recoil of energy!
"It worked! The barrier’s restored!"
Relief and joy spread rapidly among the survivors.
But soon, that joy was overshadowed by overwhelming grief.
They saw Chen Yuan lying in a pool of blood, saw the comrades who had fallen defending them.
This was war…
Chen Yuan struggled to roll onto his back, gazing up at the sky. "Hey, where’s the medical team? Someone save this old man first—"
Wait… the sky?
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force!

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
