Lightning-type E-rank? My Space-time-type S-rank can't be hidden anymore!

......

At this very moment, in a top-floor room of a hotel in the city center, east of Hangzhou.

Lin Yuan lay on the soft mattress, one hand on his stomach and the other on the pillow, fast asleep.

He turned over in his sleep, buried his face in the pillow, and mumbled something in his sleep.

"Bai Li...so white...hehe..."

……

Outside the window, the neon lights of Hangzhou are still dazzling.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in the western suburbs of the city, groups of shadowy figures were quietly approaching the city walls.

The moon tonight is a little redder than before...

2:11 a.m.

The moon over Hangzhou had turned completely crimson, and Lin Yuan was having a dream.

In his dream, he was eating hot pot in the cafeteria of a university in Shanghai. Everything was perfect, and the hot pot was bubbling and steaming.

But for some reason, the bubbling sound of the hot pot got louder and louder, until finally the whole table started shaking.

"Who the hell is doing renovations so late at night?" Lin Yuan muttered in his half-asleep state, turned over, and pulled the blanket over his head.

The tremors didn't stop; instead, they became increasingly intense.

The whole building was shaking, the windowpanes were making a buzzing, resonant sound, and the water glass on the bedside table was shaken so badly that it slipped off the edge, fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces.

Suddenly, a loud bang.

It wasn't a tremor, it was an explosion.

Something huge fell from the sky and crashed through the wall of the room next to his.

The shockwave, carrying concrete fragments and wall debris, broke through the partition wall between the two rooms, and half of the broken wall debris slammed into Lin Yuan.

Fragments of plasterboard, wood chips, and brick fragments buried him completely from head to toe.

Lin Yuan woke up.

First, he blinked to shake off the dust, then stared blankly at the newly appeared crack in the ceiling for a full five seconds before slowly sitting up.

Plaster and mortar fell off him with a clatter, leaving white patches on his hair, shoulders, and blankets.

A strong-willed man sat up from the ruins, covered in dust and dirt, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuan slowly walked towards the next room, muttering to himself:

"Can't a person get any sleep at this hour? Can you two be a little quieter? Are you taking advantage of me because I don't have a girlfriend...?"

The last word was drawn out.

It wasn't intentional; he stopped talking on his own when he walked to the wall and saw the view of the next room through the hole in the wall.

Across from the cracked wall, the swirling dust was slowly settling.

A figure stood in the space where moonlight and shadow met in the room.

It has a wolf's head and a human body, is a little over two meters tall, and is covered with short, dark silver fur.

It had a penetrating wound on its chest, diagonally splitting from its collarbone to its ribs, the edges of which were charred black.

But it didn't care at all; its eerie green pupils were fixed on the disheveled human in front of it.

Second tier, first level, Shadow Abyss Wolf!

Lin Yuan's misunderstandings about "the couple making too much noise" vanished in an instant, replaced by an explosive thought.

This thing belongs to the Abyss of Demons, how did it end up on the top floor of this hotel?

Unfortunately, Shadow Wolf didn't give Lin Yuan time to think.

Almost the instant Lin Yuan recognized it, it pushed off the ground with its hind legs and charged straight at Lin Yuan with its massive body.

Its speed was at least 30% faster than that of a Shadow Leopard of the same level, and faster than all the second-level monsters he had killed in the dense forest so far.

Lin Yuan leaned back.

His knees were bent, his upper body almost parallel to the ground, and the wolf's claws grazed the tip of his nose.

Before his back had fully landed, he pushed off the ground with his right foot, using the momentum to flip to the side. During the roll, Zidian was already in Lin Yuan's hands.

The Sands of Time are activated.

The air within a four-meter radius suddenly became viscous.

As Shadow Wolf missed its target with its claw and was about to turn and give chase, its movement visibly paused the moment it entered the area of ​​Time Sands.

The tip of Zidian's spear had already touched its knee joint.

With the power of a first-tier, ninth-level attack combined with the mastery of the Thunderclap skill, the Shadow Abyss Wolf couldn't withstand this strike!

Although wolves have different joint structures than humans, Lin Yuan had killed countless monsters in the wasteland, and he knew exactly where to stab anything that walked on legs.

The spear tip pierced through the joint bone gap, and lightning exploded.

A crisp snapping sound.

The Shadow Wolf let out a hoarse howl of pain, its left leg buckled, its massive body lost its balance, and it knelt on one knee.

But it didn't stop; with one leg crippled, it continued its attack with the other leg and its claws.

With a sweep of its right claw, the claw tip left four afterimages in the air.

Lin Yuan instinctively leaned back to dodge the sweeping attack, bringing his left index and middle fingers together.

"Ben Lei Zhi" means to activate.

A pale purple lightning rod shot out from the fingertip, silently and precisely piercing the left eye of the wolf-headed human.

The lightning rod entered through the eye socket and exited through the back of the head, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

The Shadow Wolf froze, its massive body crashing to the ground.

[Defeat the second-tier, level-one Shadow Abyss Wolf monster, +130 Ability Points]

Lin Yuan stared at the system notification for half a second, then looked down at the wolf carcass on the ground, which was still twitching slightly.

It's at the second tier, level one, the same tier as the rock-armored giant lizard he killed before, but with significantly more ability points.

Moreover, these are Shadow Abyss Wolves, a unique race of the Underworld Demon Cave.

Abyssal wolves cannot appear on the surface. The sealing array in Hangzhou has been suppressing the exit of the Demon Cave for hundreds of years. Even if some occasionally slip through, they are only first-tier cubs.

The appearance of a second-order, first-level adult in the city center can only be explained by one thing.

The sealing array is malfunctioning!

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuan turned around and dug his phone out of the rubble beside the bed.

The moment the screen lit up, a flood of message notifications appeared.

Su Qingyue, Wu Tiao.

Shen Man, twelve articles.

Baili, eight pieces.

Jiang Ran, Santiao.

Song Zhiyi, two.

The time started at midnight and continued until just now.

He clicked on Su Qingyue's first.

The first message, dated 12:01 AM: "Lin Yuan, something has happened in Hangzhou. The seal on the Demon Cave has been broken, and demonic creatures have appeared in many parts of the city. I'm on my way."

The second message, dated 12:10 AM: "I've boarded the superconducting train heading towards Hangzhou. The Su family has assigned a team of guards to accompany me. Where are you now? Are you safe?"

……

Fifthly, at 1:30 AM: "I know you're sleeping. Your phone is always on silent when you're sleeping. You absolutely must reply to my messages when you wake up, you promise. You promised me we'd meet in Shanghai."

Lin Yuan held his phone and looked at it for a few seconds.

He suddenly remembered Su Qingyue standing on the platform of the Donghai City Superconducting Train Station, wearing a moon-white long dress, saying, "See you in Shanghai."

He replied with a message: "Alive. Awake. At a hotel in the city center. Just killed a Tier 2 Shadow Abyss Wolf. Be careful, don't try to fight the rescue team head-on, we'll talk about it at dawn."
