<h4>Chapter 5: The Ability to Transform</h4>


    As Tang San stretched his body, thoughts spun through his mind. After an exhausting work day, the vigers would go to bed early and sleep deeply. At the moment, it was still quite some time before dawn.


    Tang San resolved to venture deeper into the forest. The spiritual energy there seemed noticeably denserpared to the vige. He pondered whether the forest''s depths concealed precious treasures or valuable resources.


    Upon realizing that martial soul awakening was impossible in this world and he could only cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique, Tang San''s n became straightforward. He resolved to diligently cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique to higher orders, amass strength, and then explore how to wield this power effectively. With the profound techniques inscribed in the Tang Sect''s Mysterious Heaven Record, self-defense wouldn''t pose a challenge once he reached an adequate order.


    Through his cultivation, Tang San gradually understood why humans were inherently weak and relegated to very.


    This world was known as the Fn, and itprised a single vast continent, the Daemon Continent, where he presently dwelled. The demons and nymphs possessed formidable innate abilities. In thisnd teeming with spiritual energy, they simply needed to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after birth to augment their inherent abilities, rendering them immensely powerful. No other race could rival their might.


    Conversely, humanscked inherentbat abilities and cultivation techniques. Unless they were resourceful, they were essentially powerless and fated to serve as ves under the mighty demons and nymphs.


    The light in the forest was dim due to the thick vegetation. A celestial body akin to the Moon existed in this world, emitting an unusual faint blue glow. It was a rather peculiar sight.


    Tang San''s eyes flickered with a faint purple light, an effect of cultivating another supreme technique from the Mysterious Heaven Scroll called the Purple Demon Eyes. Mastering this technique required him to practice facing the rising sun every day.


    He had to tten himself against the gap between the floor and door for thest two years, barely managing to practice. In the past two years, he had discovered more opportunities for cultivation.


    The aid of the Purple Demon Eyes enabled him to perceive the things around him in the forest distinctly. The further he delved, the more acutely he sensed the strangeness within.


    In his former world, there existed beings known as spirit beasts. Initially oppressed by humans, they persistently fought until they achieved a peaceful coexistence.


    However, demons and nymphs reigned supreme on this Daemon Continent while humans struggled to survive. It appeared that everything was reversed.


    As Tang San proceeded, he suddenly heard some movement and instinctively sought cover behind arge tree, holding his breath.


    <i>Thump!</i> Not far ahead, a figure tumbled to the ground and rolled twice before stopping.


    The individual''s breathing was rapid and erratic, and they gasped for air inrge gulps. They struggled to rise but seemed tock the strength, and they fell back down again.


    Tang San remained motionless, using his Purple Demon Eye to observe the situation cautiously. To his surprise, the fallen individual turned out to be a human male. A mask concealed his face, and their appearance remained hidden, but the figure undoubtedly belonged to a human.


    From the earlier leap, it was apparent that he was no ordinary individual.


    <i>A human with special abilities?</i> Tang San''s eyes sparked with curiosity. His understanding of this world remained limited because he was confined to the small town of Wind Wolf. The sudden encounter with such a capable human was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise. However, the person emitted a strong scent of blood, and it was clear that they were injured.


    At that moment, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the forest. Someone was approaching them at an astonishing speed.


    Tang San, who had been readying to venture out, swiftly concealed himself again.


    "This way!" echoed a resounding howl, trailed by a robust figure leaping from the air.


    His eyes gleamed with a green light in the darkness—a wolf demon.


    He dashed wildly on all fours, incredibly swift. When he reared up, his figure surpassed two meters in height, and his robust muscles pulsated with explosive power.


    A third-order wolf demon!


    Throughout these years, Tang San had garnered insight into the hierarchical structure prevailing on the Daemon Continent. Regardless of race, status and power were appraised ording to a ranked scale.


    The lowest order was the first, and ordinary humans were fundamentally unable to reach even the first order, which relegated them to ves.


    Wolf demons, like the one here, were born in the first order, and upon maturation, they would at least attain the second order. The formidable ones would ascend to the third order. This was specific to the most prevalent bloodline of wolf demons; higher-order bloodlines were rumored to be even more potent. Regarding the highest order within the Daemon Continent, Tang San remained unaware.


    Wind Wolf Town, though being at a remote location, had a fifth-order leader.


    Tang San estimated that the energy output from the Mysterious Heaven Technique at a specific order was likely on par with that of a demon or nymph in a simr order.


    So, as he was at the third order of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, Tang San''s cultivation level was nearlyparable to that of a third-order wolf demon.


    The third-order wolf demon appeared out of nowhere and leaped straight at the human.


    Noticing the threat, the human swiftly rolled sideways and dodged the wolf demon''s lunge. At that moment, he made a strange movement. His body seemed to stretch suddenly, and his hands sprouted sharp ws. A faint yellow glow surrounded him, making his figure stand out in the dark. Tang San noticed a coat of brown-yellow fur with ck-brown markings emerging from his skin.


    As this change urred, the human’s speed surged. His ws were aimed directly at the wolf demon''s chest and abdomen.


    The wolf demon swiftly redirected its front paws to block the human''s ws, producing a sharp ng as they shed.


    The human''s strength was notablycking, and he was instantly pushed back. He was clearly stunned for a moment, and blood started dripping down from his lower abdomen.


    Suddenly, several rays of green light appeared from the distance, aimed directly at the human.


    Wind des!


    The third-order wolf demon unleashed a furious roar and shot a Wind de toward the human.


    The transformed human appeared to unleash his full potential at this crucial moment. He leaped with astonishing speed, almost like lightning, darting through the gaps between the Wind des. As the faint yellow radiance on his body intensified, his speed increased sharply, and he instantly appeared in front of the third-order wolf demon.


    His ws swiped out, catching the wolf demon off guard. Although the wolf demon hastily tried to block with his ws, his movements were just a fraction too slow.


    In life-threatening moments, creatures of any kind often unleash immense power, and this transformed human was no exception.


    His ws reached the wolf demon''s throat before he could react, shing across it. But in an instant, the wolf demon''s ws struck the transformed human''s shoulder, sending him flying.


    The third-order wolf demon emitted strange hissing sounds, clutching his throat with his ws. But despite his efforts, a critical blood vessel had been severed, causing a gush of fresh blood. His green eyes rolled back, and it seemed that he had taken a fatal blow.


    In an instant, another formidable wolf demon leaped forward. He was thepanion who had unleashed the Wind des from a distance.


    “Fuck! Leopard sh!”


    The first wolf demon sprawled on the ground. No matter how hard he tried to stop the bleeding in his throat, his efforts proved futile. The final strike of the transformed human had severed his throat, sealing his fate.


    "Die!" With an equally muscr physique, the second third-order wolf demon lunged fiercely at the human! Its ws emitted a sinister glow alongside a subtle fluctuation of the wind element—a fusion of Wind de and an explosive assault.


    In that critical moment, from the shadows, an unassuming figure stealthily darted out from the side. The third-order wolf demon, entirely focused on the transformed human, remained unaware of the new arrival.
