Chapter 338 The Ultimate Champion [1]

Back in the plain...

"Anyway," Akira said, pushing those thoughts aside. "This plain isn't just any place. Monsters often roam here—beasts that emerge at dawn to hunt for food. You should be careful."

"Perfect," Nox said, cracking his knuckles. "I needed some warm-up anyway."

Akira tilted her head slightly, puzzled. "Warm-up? For what?"

Nox didn't answer. Instead, he summoned Oblivion Edge from his inventory and strode confidently into the center of the plain. Akira followed a few paces behind, curious and somewhat wary.

It wasn't long before the first monsters appeared—wolf-like beasts with blood-red fur and eyes that glowed like embers. Their growls echoed ominously across the open field.

"These are Crimson Wolves," Akira explained quickly, her voice steady but watchful. "They're not too strong on their own, but they hunt in packs. If you're not careful, they'll overwhelm you."

Nox smirked, his grip on his dagger tightening. "Sounds fun."

Akira blinked in surprise as Nox lunged forward without hesitation. His movements were swift and precise—unnaturally so. He dodged the first wolf's leap with ease, twisting his body at the last second before driving his dagger into its side. The beast let out a pained howl before collapsing into a heap.

"That was..." Akira muttered, her eyes widening. "He's fast."

Stop it, Akira, you're almost as fast as he is! Akira scolded herself. Why was everything Nox did so fascinating to her? She didn't know why, and it would take time for her to understand.

[Tsk! Tsk, she's going to eat him up very soon,] Solora scowled from the side as she glared at Akira. Then she narrowed her snake-like eyes. [Is she going to snatch Master from us?]

[Nonsense. That won't ever happen.]

[Panda! Agree!] Thirteen nodded vigorously.

[She's a threat.] Solora's eyes glinted as she bopped her snaky head. She glanced at Astralux, who was in her non-combat form, and the two had a silent agreement.

From their looks alone, Thirteen could tell they were planning something.

Back on the battlefield, Nox didn't stop. Another wolf lunged at him from behind, but Nox ducked, rolling across the grass and slicing its throat in a single fluid motion. His combat style was graceful yet brutal—every move was deliberate.

[Ding! Exp....]

[Ding! Exp....]

[Ding! Exp....]

[Ding! Exp....]

Akira found herself mesmerized as she watched him. Who is this guy? she thought, her heart pounding slightly as Nox finished off the last wolf.

I wonder who'd win if we fought together. She pursed her lips thoughtfully and pondered.

"Not bad," Nox muttered to himself, glancing at the experience points displayed in his mind. All the beasts he had killed were at the King-Tier middle levels. Naturally, after fighting non-stop for over 10 years, Nox's skills were unprecedented.

And because of his arsenal of skills, the only beasts that could prove troublesome to deal with were Peak King-Tier Level 9, Emperor-Tier, and above.

There's just something so satisfying about seeing your strengths rise gradually. A grin split across Nox's features as he glanced at his experience bar.

He was now level 28.

At this pace, I should get to level 30 before I return to the academy. Well, let's hunt more. Nox thought. He was about to head deeper into the distance when his dark eyes suddenly flickered, and he froze.

"What is it?" Akira asked, sensing his sudden change in demeanor, her brows knitting together.

Nox didn't answer immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes, his brow furrowing as he concentrated. He had finally decided to use his subclass.

"I can feel them," Nox said quietly. "Countless spirits... the remnants of these beasts."

Akira frowned, hearing the strange words. "Spirits? You mean the souls of the monsters?"

Nox nodded slowly, a strange gleam in his eyes. "Yes. And I can use them."

Use them? The frown on Akira's face deepened as her gaze swept through the surroundings, but she couldn't sense anything strange in the air, which made her doubt Nox's words.

However, from his expression, he didn't seem like someone who was joking around. Before Akira could question him further, Nox extended his hand and whispered under his breath:

"Tame."

A faint, eerie glow enveloped him as ghostly figures began to materialize around him—the lingering spirits of the Crimson Wolves. Akira gasped softly, taking a step back as a chill ran down her spine.

"What... what is this?" she stammered, her wide eyes fixed on Nox.

Nox opened his eyes, and for a brief moment, they seemed to glow even brighter. "It's my subclass," he said with a faint smile. "Like I told you before, the beast taming class is a really wonderful class."

"Beast taming, huh..." Akira stared at him, her heart pounding as she saw the translucent spirit bodies of the twenty-plus deceased Crimson Wolves.

The reason she was even able to see them was because Nox used the system inquiry function and discovered that he could choose who he wanted to see his tamed spirit pets.

"Just who are you?" Akira mumbled to herself in a quiet voice. There was something about Nox—something otherworldly—that both intrigued and terrified her at the same time.

At the side, Solora, Thirteen, Fluffington, and Astralux also looked at the Spirit Wolves with fascination and curiosity. Because of their connection, the pets could see and feel that another presence had been added to their link.

Meanwhile, Nox's gaze settled on the spectral form of the Crimson Wolf before him. The Crimson Wolf was staring around in confusion. Didn't it just get killed by this hateful human a few minutes ago? So why... why was it still here? The wolf tilted its head, its translucent form shimmering faintly.

Although it didn't want to admit it, it could feel a powerful connection to the strange human before it. The beast felt intense anger because of its death, but for some reason, even that anger was being diminished gradually.

What was happening? It was supposed to be angry! It should be angry... so what was this kindred connection?

While the Crimson Wolf was going through a dilemma, a screen materialized in front of Nox, sending a wave of excitement coursing through his entire being.

[Ding! Hidden Quest: Tame a Spirit Creature—Completed.]

[You have Awakened Spirit Fusion.]

[A large number of spirits has been detected.]

[Do you wish to fuse spirits together and create the ultimate champion?]
