Elementary Monster, Phantom Lion

Half an hour later, Vincent encountered another monster. 

The monster was an apprentice-level monster known as the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.

Its entire body was burning with scarlet flames. It had sharp teeth and claws. Its movements were swift, and its agility was high. It was unable to engage in close combat.

The flames on its body had a very strong burning property. If one touched it, he or she would turn into ashes within half an hour.

The most terrifying thing about its flame was that it had a very strong reigniting property.

Vincent did not expect to meet this kind of monster. He was focused.

The Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf saw Vincent, roared, and charged straight at him.

It was like a Lamborghini driving at high speed.

Sizzle!

Before Vincent could react, there was a hole in his body.

The flames burned Vincent's body, and the wound became charred flesh.

Vincent's body only started reacting when the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was twenty meters away.

"So fast!"

Vincent was shocked.

Although he knew that the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was very fast, he still underestimated it when fighting it.

His body was still burning in flames even when he fought back. His instincts were somewhat chaotic, but he was instantly surprised. 

The flames had no reaction on his body; even his clothes were not burned.

The Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was also dumbfounded when it saw that Vincent was completely fine after its attack. 

It could not understand how its undefeatable flames failed to have any effect on Vincent.

Vincent and the monster looked at each other; both were confused about what was going on. 

After ten minutes, the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf bowed and attacked Vincent again.

It thought that since the flames were useless against Vincent, it would use its sharp claws to tear him apart.

Vincent was the first to make a move. He held the hilt of the saber with both hands, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

His mind recalled the feeling of practicing the Collapsing Mountain Strike the night before.

At this very moment, everything around him slowed down.

He could feel that the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf was in front of him, and its sharp teeth were about to sink into his neck. 

"Collapsing Mountain Strike!"

Vincent suddenly opened his eyes and swung his saber downwards.

Swoosh!

He managed to chop off the left front leg of the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.

There was no obstruction.

"Howl!"

The Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf cried in pain and fell to the right. 

The pain of losing its left front leg did not make it retreat. Instead, the pain aroused its ferocity.

Its eyes were red and its ferocity intensified. 

He attacked Vincent once again.

"How troublesome."

Vincent dodged and thought to himself.

With a wave of his hand, black flames along with the flames on his body flew towards the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf. 

"Try my flames!"

Teng!

The Black Flames instantly devoured the Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf.

Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf, die!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an apprentice-level monster, Scarlet Flame Demonic Wolf. You have obtained an upgrade pill."

"Do you wish to consume it?"

"Yes."

"Ding! You have successfully consumed the upgrade pill. Your maximum power has been increased by 6 points."

"Please open character panel."

Psionic power: 33

Realm: Apprentice-level superpower user. 

Equipment: D-Class Black Battle Saber

Grade: D-Class combat skill

Proficiency: 15% 

"I'm almost at the beginner level!"

Vincent looked at the attributes on his character's interface and felt an abundance of energy in his body. He was very excited.

It had only been three days since he awakened his superpower, and he was already about to become a beginner superpower user. 

If the others knew about it, they would definitely be shocked.

"Continue!"

Vincent waved his fist energetically.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was nighttime. 

Vincent had killed a total of 11 monsters. His body was covered with the monsters' blood.

His temperament was also very different from before.

He was steady and fierce.

His every move had strong killing intent. 

His battle experience also improved greatly.

His psionic power limit had also increased by 17 points, reaching 50 points.

In other words, even if Vincent did not do anything, ten days was enough for him to advance.

Vincent's power limit did not increase much after taking the upgrade pill. 

He had even encountered a few instances where it had only increased by 1 point.

However, as it was better than nothing, he just went with it. 

The only thing that troubled him was the proficiency of the Collapsing Mountain Strike and Hellfire power. 

The proficiency of the Collapsing Mountain Strike had been stuck at 49%. No matter how much he racked his brains, he could not understand it.

If this were to happen to other people, they would wake up with a smile on their faces. 

One had to know that even for geniuses, it would take at least two months to reach this level of proficiency in a single combat technique.

Yet, he was in a dilemma here. If others found out about it, they would still try to upset him. 

His Hellfire power was still too strong. It was because he had yet to learn how to control it.

As a result, every time he used Hellfire, the monster he attacked would not be left with any remains. 

The monster's blood, bones, and other parts could all be sold for money.

After every battle, not even a strand of hair was left. This made his current poor situation even worse.

"It's getting late, let's go home."

After stretching his back, Vincent prepared to return home.

Spending the night outside of the city was extremely dangerous even if he was within the safe zone. 

Moreover, the monsters were most active at night.

Bang Bang Bang!

"F*ck! This is my first experience. How did I meet such a troublesome fellow!"

On the way, gunshots and curses were heard. 

Vincent felt like they were somewhat familiar, but he did not appear rashly. Instead, he hid behind a boulder and watched.

Outside the city, ensuring one's own safety was the most important thing.

A handsome teen was flying in the air. The psionic pistol in his hand was glowing as he shot continuously at a shadow under the night sky.

However, because of the night sky and the teen flying at high speed, all he saw was a shadow. 

The young man was obviously not familiar with the psionic pistol.

This caused the young man's accuracy to be very poor. Eight out of ten shots was hitting the ground.

"What a waste of an A-class psionic pistol."

Vincent could not help but ridicule.

He had seen this pistol at the psionic mall yesterday. It was worth hundreds of millions of psionic coins.

Suddenly, he realized that something was not right. There was a pair of pure white wings on the back of the young man.

"Swire?"

Upon closer inspection, it really was his good friend Swire.

After he realised that it was Swire, Vincent pulled out his Black Battle Saber, and charged forward.

"Vincent!"

Swire did not expect to meet Vincent.

"Vincent! Don't mind me! Hurry up and leave! This is a low-level monster, the Phantom Lion!"

As he said that, he stopped running and made a skillful turn in the air, charging towards the Phantom Lion.

He wanted to give Vincent a chance to escape.

After all, he assumed that Vincent was just like him, a newbie who had just awakened his power.

Although Vincent's power level was higher than his, his power was not much stronger than his.

Due to the special characteristics of his power, he was inferior to Vincent when facing the Phantom Lion.

Nevertheless, he was determined to die and took the initiative to attack. Before he died, he wanted to take one last look at Vincent. However, he was almost scared out of his mind.
