Start Of Beast Wave
Hey, everyone, I've read some chapters of the volume, but it's difficult to write it correctly, so I'll just summarize what happens starting from the chapter after the next one. I don't know how it will be for some of you, but I promise I'll write the plot well while doing it this way. A lot will change, and everything will happen quickly, but time will flow normally; it's just that the chapters will be shown quickly. After dealing with the fate of the Gu destruction, everything will return to normal, and at that point, I can write what I want since there won't be any more plot from there. So, please be patient, and if anyone doesn't like it and has some advice, I'm all ears to listen. Lastly, I'm sorry for being late; even though you guys are giving me power stones, I still haven't written the book I feel bad about. So, I decided to go this route to make readers happy who want to read.

Over the next few days, everything proceeded smoothly, and finally, the academy combat test commenced. This was the final test required for graduation, after which students would be assigned to teams. Fang Yuan also participated, and in the end, he won using only Rank 2 Gu worms.
He did not reveal that he had already reached Rank 3, instead maintaining the facade of being a newly advanced Rank 2 Initial Stage cultivator. When the elders inspected his aperture, they accepted this rank without suspicion, as the aperture they observed was genuinely Rank 2.
The reason they failed to detect his true cultivation level was due to an Illusion Path Gu worm known as Fake It, a Rank 3 Gu. This Gu worm had the ability to alter perception, making whatever Fang Yuan declared as his truth appear real to others. While it worked effectively against most, it was ineffective against Wisdom Path cultivators, who specialized in seeing through deception. However, if upgraded to a Rank 5 Gu worm, it could even deceive Rank 5 Wisdom Path Gu Masters.
Like that, he won first place and was then chosen by the Mo Family Group to go on missions regularly. However, why would he personally participate? Since he controlled the Mo Family, he simply let them go on their own, ensuring they believed he was with them by using illusions. This way, whenever others inquired about his presence on missions, they would confidently confirm his participation, unaware of the deception.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan stayed home, refining his aperture and utilizing his subordinates to handle all external matters. He had no interest in his uncles or aunts, leaving them to their own devices. However, he added one more goal before leaving this mountain—eliminating Fang Zheng. His younger brother would inevitably stand in his way, acting as a pawn of Heaven's Will, a direct counter to his existence. Fang Yuan could not allow such an obstacle to persist.
So, he decided to let him die. Next, Fang Yuan went on a mission, marking the day he would meet Bai Ning Bing—an event he had foreseen through his memories of the future. The reason he sought out Bai Ning Bing was simple: he intended to turn him into his slave. In his previous life, Bai Ning Bing had betrayed him during the Three Kings Inheritance, and Fang Yuan had no intention of allowing such a dangerous enemy to act against him again. Instead, he planned to convert every potential threat into an ally under his complete control.
Fang Yuan's soul strength surged once more due to acquiring another Guts Gu from the Gacha System. He began to theorize that the rewards from the gacha were influenced by his desires—whenever he focused on obtaining a particular type of Gu or path, he seemed to receive related rewards. With this in mind, he aimed to further enhance his soul, allowing him to control even more subordinates. As expected, the Gacha granted him additional Guts Gu, accelerating his progress. Now, his soul strength had skyrocketed to nearly five million.
The beast wave gradually intensified as more wolves in the forest began attacking animals and humans alike. The Mo Family group, assigned to scout and eliminate the wolves, moved deeper into the dense wilderness. They relied on their Rank 2 Gu worms for detection and defense, ensuring they weren't caught off guard.
As they advanced, a sudden rustling in the bushes signaled danger. A pack of wolves, their glowing eyes brimming with aggression, lunged at them. The Mo Family group immediately retaliated, activating their Gu worms in quick succession. A Steel Hide Gu granted one of them temporary protection against the wolves' fangs, while another used Venom Fang Gu to counter with deadly attacks.
Fang Yuan, as usual, did not interfere directly. Instead, he watched with a calculating gaze, analyzing the efficiency of their combat. The battle lasted longer than expected, with the Mo Family members struggling as their primeval essence drained rapidly. Despite their efforts, the wolves' relentless assault showed no signs of stopping.
Just as they managed to take down several wolves, a low, guttural growl sent shivers down their spines. Emerging from the darkness was a massive Hundred Wolf King Beast—its body covered in scars, its fangs glistening under the moonlight. The oppressive aura it emitted made the exhausted Mo Family cultivators freeze momentarily.
With their primeval essence already running low, their attacks became sluggish. One of them used Shadow Step Gu to reposition, but the beast anticipated the move, swiping its massive claws toward them. Another tried to trap it with Binding Vines Gu, only for the beast to rip through the bindings effortlessly.
Fang Yuan's gaze remained indifferent as he observed. He was prepared for this outcome. As the Mo Family group reached their limit, a sharp crack echoed through the forest. A massive ice spike tore through the air, piercing the Hundred Wolf King's stomach. The chilling energy spread rapidly, freezing its movements for a brief moment.
Turning towards the source, they saw Bai Ning Bing perched lazily on a tree branch, his usual indifferent expression unwavering as he observed the battle with a cold gaze.
