Comprehensive Network: Starting with Martial Artists to Stack Passive Skills

"Phew~"

After a busy night, Master Lu was doing his daily morning exercise, taking a breath of the morning mist to wash away the soreness from the all-night battle.

Last night, with the battle in full swing, he couldn't contain himself and plunged into the arena, engaging in passionate sparring with the guys there, achieving a magnificent record of ten wins out of ten.

So what's the price?

Heh, what price do you need to pay for stomping noobs? (Trying not to laugh)

After finishing his work, Lu Qingfeng took a quick shower, changed into dry clothes, and pushed open the back door to enter the front hall.

Jolyne still hadn't arrived. The bookstore was quiet, with only the morning light filtering through the glass windows and casting warm dappled patterns on the bookshelves.

"That kid, he's probably been cultivating immortality until midnight again. Even if young people are healthy, they can't keep doing this," Lu Qingfeng complained, then reached under the counter to pull out a thermos and brewed a cup of calming tea.

Then, as usual, he summoned the network panel and prepared to start today's daily dungeon.

[Today's random instance has been generated: Desert Wolf Howl (Beginner)]

[Instance Description: A forgotten Gobi desert, where the yellow sands bury the ruins of an ancient post road and lingering vengeful spirits. Whenever the wind rises, the sand grains rub against each other like the wailing of ghosts, while predators—especially wolves corrupted by some force—lurk ​​in the quicksand and caves.]

Recommended Level: 6

[Instance Objective: Kill the Corrupted Wolves]

[Dungeon Rewards: 2000 Universal Experience, 500 Disaster Coins, 1 Random Desert Environment Material/Item (Blue)]

[Failure Penalty: None (No reward if you quit midway)]

[Enter now?]

"Corrupted Wolves...looks like another grind-heavy dungeon, this is awesome!"

Lu Qingfeng quickly checked his backpack and was relieved to find that all the consumables were intact.

Just in case, he also bought a water storage device (green) online to deal with possible drought conditions.

With everything ready, Lu Qingfeng was about to set off when he discovered a oversight.

I almost forgot about you—the robot vacuum cleaner, put you in my backpack.

It's no wonder he's so cautious; any leak of information would cause a lot of trouble, and Lu Qingfeng happens to be the kind of person who's particularly afraid of trouble.

The silver-white disc flickered with a faint blue light, as if protesting—but the protest was ineffective.

Let's go!

[Transferring to instance: Desert Wolf Howl...]

Another wave of familiar dizziness washed over me.

The scorching, dry air slammed into Lu Qingfeng's face like a solid wall.

My feet sank into the soft, hot sand.

An endless expanse of yellow sand stretched before my eyes, the sky was gray-white, the sun hung high in the sky, and the heat distorted the distant scenery. The wind whipped up fine sand, carrying the smell of dry decay.

In addition, the magnetic field environment in the desert was also very strange. Lu Qingfeng took out the water storage device and took a big gulp to dispel the thirst in his heart.

However, no matter what, the monster still had to be killed, so he spread out his senses.

Although the surrounding environment interfered with Lu Qingfeng's perception, he could still clearly detect fluctuations coming from several directions, carrying a greedy, ferocious, and chillingly corrosive aura.

"Corrupting the wolf pack?"

Why doesn't it refresh in front of me?

Lu Qingfeng thought angrily and then began searching for the wolf pack.

After crossing the third massive sand dune, the scene before him instantly transformed him into his combat form.

Ahead lay a stretch of Gobi desert covered in black gravel, its edges littered with fresh, gnawed animal bones. The cold, corrosive stench in the air was so strong it was almost nauseating.

"Howl!"

A loud wolf howl came from the direction of the cave deep in the Gobi Desert.

Immediately afterwards, the howls of wolves rose and fell in waves, forming a continuous chorus!

A dozen or so figures slowly emerged from the shadows of the cave and the sand dunes.

They are larger than ordinary desert wolves, with a shoulder height close to an adult's waist. Their fur is a sickly grayish-black, with many ulcers and peeling, revealing dark red skin.

Enemy encountered: Corrupted Sand Wolves (Normal) x30

Enemy encountered: Corrupted Alpha Wolf (Elite) x1

The elite alpha wolf was much larger, with a single, scarlet, ferocious eye. Its mane stood on end like steel needles, and its growl carried a sense of mental oppression.

The wolf pack spread out in a fan shape, moving swiftly and silently, blocking all escape routes.

Lu Qingfeng's expression calmed as he tossed the water tank back into his backpack, his right hand gripping the hilt of the Chongyue Sword. Deep within his consciousness, the pale golden seed of battle intent glowed faintly.

[Focus on Battle], now activated!

In an instant, everything around him became incredibly clear in his perception!

Unlike interception, battle mind focus is closer to bullet time!

The tension of each sand wolf's muscles and its vulnerable points are depicted like a scroll painting.

"Awooo—!"

The alpha wolf let out a sharp howl, issuing the order to attack!

Three corrupted sand wolves charged straight at Lu Qingfeng from the front! Four sand wolves on each of the left and right flanks him, their claws gleaming with an ominous dark light.

The alpha wolf slowly advanced, its one eye fixed on Lu Qingfeng, searching for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

Faced with the attacking wolf pack, Lu Qingfeng responded by remaining still. Last night's battle had made him realize just how terrifying his current defensive capabilities were.

With his constant 35% damage reduction, coupled with his already formidable steel body and Earthly Fiend Body, as well as the energy tolerance enhanced by the Primordial Breathing Technique, he simply couldn't be bothered to dodge this attack.

"Snap!" "Pfft!"

The sand wolf's claws on his left side scrambled fiercely at his forearm, but only produced a teeth-grinding scraping sound, as if it were scratching against refined steel!

The gray-black wolf claws could not penetrate that invisible barrier, leaving only a few shallow white scratches on Lu Qingfeng's sleeve, without even breaking his skin!

It is impolite not to reciprocate, and Lu Qingfeng is not some lamb to be slaughtered.

A powerful straight punch from the left arm!

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, a large section of the sand wolf's ribs caved in instantly, its body flew sideways, crashed onto the sand and rolled several times, dark red blood spurting from its mouth and nose, twitching twice before ceasing to move.

You have killed 1 Corrupted Sand Wolf.

[Cleanup progress update:!]

[Blood Moon Mark triggered! Additional True Damage +5]

[Armor break triggered! Enemy's defenses have been breached!]

[Steel breakage triggered! Inflicts additional shockwave damage!]

In an instant, one of the corrupted wolves was killed, but it wasn't over yet; Chong Yue was still in Lu Qingfeng's hands.

"Clang!"

With a soft hum of the heavy sword, two more wolves were cleaved in two at the waist, their blood and entrails falling onto the sand, instantly corroding a dark purple pit.

"roar--!"

The one-eyed wolf seemed to be enraged and let out an even more ferocious roar.

The wolves pounced again!

This was a small-scale group attack!

Seven or eight sand wolves attacked simultaneously from all directions, their claws and teeth bared, and a foul stench filled the air!

Lu Qingfeng also joined in.

"Bang! Crack!"

An elbow strike shattered the throat of a sand wolf that lunged at him from the side.

"puff!"

Whip kick, knee strike, punch...

Each simple counterattack was accompanied by the crisp sound of bones shattering and the glow of countless passive effects being triggered.

In just over ten seconds, four more corrupted sand wolves turned into corpses and fell onto the scorching sand.

The remaining sand wolves began to show obvious fear in their eyes, and their attacks became less resolute, but the pack behind them was still watching them intently.

The one-eyed wolf stared intently at Lu Qingfeng, and finally it moved!

Without warning, its powerful hind legs slammed into the ground, and its massive body seemed to transform into a gray-black lightning bolt, instantly covering a distance of several meters!

At the same time, a highly condensed, dark red energy ball, exuding a strong corrosive and spiritually polluting aura, rapidly formed in his mouth!

"That's more like it."

Lu Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction, as if he were commenting on a dish, but his hands moved quickly.

"boom!"

In the shadows, the Chongyue Sword, which had been gathering power for a short time, slashed down from above with a low wind pressure!

"Clang—!!"

The piercing sound of metal clashing echoed across the Gobi Desert!

The Chongyue Sword struck the alpha wolf's shoulder blade, sending sparks flying!

The armor-piercing and shockwave penetrated his body, and the alpha wolf let out a painful howl. He was slashed and staggered to one side, dark red and black blood gushing out.

You're still alive? I acknowledge your vitality!

But it's time to end this!

[Blood Moon Mark] triggered! True damage numbers appeared.

The alpha wolf was injured, and its ferocity was fully unleashed!

It suddenly turned its head, about to spew out the dark red energy ball that had been brewing in its mouth for a long time!

Lu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed, and he slammed Chongyue into the alpha wolf's mouth.

[Stance]! The power of the secret technique is instantly depleted by one point!

"Ugh!"

For the first time, disbelief and a hint of fear appeared in the alpha wolf's single eye.

It's too late!

The blocked energy ball exploded instantly inside the alpha wolf's mouth, and the entire alpha wolf was instantly thrown several meters away by the recoil force.

Lu Qingfeng gave it no chance to catch its breath, and Meteor gave chase.

A crimson sword light streaked across the sky, and a crimson meteor rose above the desert!

The alpha wolf only had time to tilt its head back slightly.

"Zzzzt—!"

A flash of sword light!

The alpha wolf's head was instantly blasted apart!

A fountain of blood, several meters high, gushed from the severed neck. The headless corpse crashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

You have killed one Corrupted Alpha Wolf (Elite).

[Cleanup progress update: 6/?]

With the alpha wolf dead, the remaining wolves also showed some fear and wanted to retreat, but they had already entered the dungeon objective, so it was a matter of life or death.

Lu Qingfeng himself couldn't possibly die, so he could only make things difficult for these little wolves.
