"Truly troublesome."
Silver Wolf retreated several dozen meters due to the Dragon Blast's force. Had she not reacted swiftly, she would have been caught in its explosion.
Bochang momentarily struggled to find a way to break through the spatial constraints.
Without resolving this issue, Bochang couldn't even approach Silver Wolf, let alone teach her a lesson.
There was another matter worth noting...
Bochang suspected that Silver Wolf wouldn't act alone; Kafka and Blade were likely nearby as reinforcements, though he couldn't predict when they might intervene. Their presence made him feel constantly uneasy.
"No matter what Kafka and Blade are up to, my top priority should be to quickly defeat Silver Wolf."
With this thought in mind, Bochang attempted to forcefully overcome the spatial barrier.
"Let's try using Fire Lotus..."
He took a deep breath.
Bochang activated the second-rated power of the Dragon Talisman, unleashing a mesmerizing red lotus that rapidly expanded into tongues of flame.
Within the confined space of less than a hundred meters...
Bochang raised his head and unleashed the attack.
As the surging fire lotuses reached a critical point, they abruptly halted, compressed together, shattered, and released countless flames spreading in all directions. Even the surrounding space began to crack with black fissures.
Moments later...
A crisp shattering sound echoed through the area.
The previously impassable barrier split like glass.
Realizing he had broken the spatial restraint above, Bochang swiftly propelled himself upwards again.
Upon crossing a specific node within the rift, the gravity shifted on both sides.
Quickly using the Invisible Hand, Bochang flipped his body, aligning himself with Silver Wolf's plane, and elegantly landed. He declared, "I admit your tricks are impressive, but against overwhelming power, they prove futile."
"Really? Aren't you being too confident?" Standing tens of meters away, Silver Wolf placed one hand on his hip. "What if... I intentionally let you down?"
Just as he finished speaking,
Bochang sensed hostility from behind him.
His Spider Sense issued a strong warning.
With a swift twist of his spear, Bochang turned and attacked towards the threat.
Before his eyes, an ancient longsword appeared.
Seeing those familiar red eyes and the man wrapped in numerous white bandages, Bochang mentally noted:
"Blade... As expected, Silver Wolf isn't alone. If I'm not mistaken, Kafka must be nearby too."
The Vow Spear clashed with Blade's ancient longsword.
A massive wave of air surged, billowing both their garments.
Silver Wolf promptly put on his blue goggles to observe the battle closely.
Bochang exerted slightly more force.
The Vow Spear swept across, forcing Blade to retreat several meters due to the immense power transmitted through the sword hilt.
If...
Silver Wolf could potentially be considered part of the evil faction,
then Blade was unequivocally aligned with it, resulting in double damage multiplier for him.
Moreover, Bochang's current physical attributes were significantly stronger than just yesterday, making it unsurprising that he could compel Blade to retreat with a single strike.
"Hm?" Blade, feeling a tingling numbness in his arms, uttered a puzzled sound.
As Blade retreated,
Bochang also spotted Kafka nearby, who had seemingly appeared unnoticed. She held a black umbrella, her face adorned with a gentle smile.
Draped in a black coat and wearing round black sunglasses, Kafka's voluptuous figure exuded charm.
From her elegantly slender legs to her gracefully curvaceous waist, and even the ample love displayed at her chest, every aspect was highly captivating.
Most notably, her deep-set eyes seemed ready to draw anyone into their mesmerizing gaze.
Recalling Kafka's peculiar Word of Power or perhaps her ability to control minds, Bochang hastily diverted his attention, avoiding any direct eye contact.
Noticing this reaction, Kafka's smile widened further, with a hint of maternal concern in her gaze.
To be honest, Bochang had no desire to engage Blade directly at that moment. He still needed to educate Silver Wolf and obtain random skills.
After repelling the enemy...
Bochang swiftly retreated, heading straight towards Silver Wolf.
The Dragon Talisman activated at its first-rated power level.
His Destruction fate path went full throttle.
The Invisible Hand, like tentacles of an octopus, freely waved through the air.
Silver Wolf, wearing protective goggles, did not anticipate Bochang's immediate charge.
A slight smirk formed on his lips.
Silver Wolf remarked, "Instead of focusing on the enemies before him, he's coming straight for me... Does he perceive my threat to be greater than Blade and Kafka? Quite intriguing."
"However... getting close to me won't be that simple. If you're skilled enough, come chase me." There was a sudden playful tone in Silver Wolf's voice.
Before Bochang could advance much further, he found himself trapped once again within an impassable space.
A colorful cube descended from the sky, triggered by Silver Wolf flipping her thumb downward.
"Let's add some excitement."
Bochang didn't ignore the attack; he attempted to intercept it with the Invisible Hand. However, upon contact with the black-purple palm, the cube vanished instantly.
Meanwhile, Blade glanced back and said, "It's time, Kafka. This kid has grown stronger again."
"Yes... Bladie, as I've heard... Unleash the bonds," Kafka's voice suddenly carried a hint of echo.
Blade let out a deep chuckle.
"Heh heh... Ha ha ha... Then let's... begin!"
"A strange sensation... My body feels slightly heavier now. Silver Wolf...what exactly did she do just then?" Bochang furrowed his brow.
Silver Wolf let out a soft scoff.
"I've decreased all your attributes and added a Wind element weakness. Now, Blade's attacks will hurt you even more." The hacker girl boasted about her actions without needing Bochang to ask.
Such was Silver Wolf, a top-tier hacker who viewed the universe as her game playground. Achieving feats like this seemed unsurprising for her.
"Alright, playing it that way, huh?" Bochang took a deep breath. "Then take my Dragon Blast!"
Another pillar of flame shot forth.
This time, Silver Wolf didn't dodge. Instead, she instantly created a shimmering barrier right in front of her.
The entire column of flames was absorbed by the barrier.
Moments later...
The shimmering barrier reappeared above Bochang's head, with the fiery beam descending from it simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Blade charged towards him.
The corners of Bochang's eyes twitched slightly.
Both Stellaron Hunters had initiated their attacks.
Blade rushed forward like a possessed entity, his ancient longsword trailing behind on the dark ground, carving out a blood-red path adorned with countless vibrant crimson spider lilies that emerged from nowhere.
It resembled a skill similar to "Tongue Blossoming Lotus."
Ignoring Blade, Bochang gazed upwards.
"The teleportation portal... There must be a limit to its absorption capacity; otherwise, Silver Wolf wouldn't have dodged the first blast."
To test this spatial manipulation ability akin to 'Zhi Zai Tian Ya' (Near Yet Far),
Bochang unleashed an impressive initial Dragon Blast.
However, the recent one was considerably weaker.
"It's possible that Silver Wolf is trying to lure me into using a more powerful Dragon Blast, and if I dare to do so, she'll return it back at me."
In his first encounter with the hacker girl,
Bochang lacked knowledge of Silver Wolf's abilities, while she seemed well-aware of his powers.
This battle was far from fair.
