Jiang He did not rush into the western-style building.
He opened the door, controlled the surrounding flas to spread inside, and simultaneously gave the flas a command.
「Find the enemy」
Word-Spirit might have been an almighty talent, but Jiang He was not an almighty Transcendent.
When he used Word-Spirit, he could not do it the way White Crane did with “thoughts beco reality”——if he gave the flas a command and said, 「Do an otaku dance for 」, that would obviously be making things difficult for the flas.
At present, he could only use so simple Word-Spirits, such as burn, strengthen, heal, and the like.
If the Word-Spirit was too complex, it could lead to deviations in results, failing to achieve the intended goal.
However, after following White Crane last night to study the Language of Fire, though he still felt sowhat muddled, his control over fire-related Word-Spirits had improved, and he could now issue more detailed and complex commands.
Just like now, when he told the flas to seek out the enemy.
The flas would then obey his will, automatically converging upon “enemies.”
Even if he did not see the presence of an “enemy,” it had no effect.
“If I study the Language of Fire diligently, maybe one day the flas really will dance the otaku dance.”
At that mont, the flas automatically tracked and rapidly swept through the western-style building.
Soon, a man and a woman rushed out in screams, their bodies wrapped in flas, charging straight at Jiang He.
They moved extrely fast, their montum fierce, their figures nearly indistinguishable, turning into two fiery shadows!
Clearly, their physical strength far surpassed Jiang He’s—at the very least, they were Transcendents at the peak of E-rank!
However, battle was not just a contest of stats.
Jiang He had no intention of using his frail body with only 20 strength points to engage them head-on.
He dodged the objects hurled at him with all his might, locked his gaze on their figures, and almost roared with a hoarse shout.
「Lord Fla」！
Voice of Thunder Final Word!
The Spell Word at the base of his tongue lit up, exhausting the last trace of power within him. The mighty force of Word-Spirit drove the Transcendent flas upon the two, erupting into a blazing explosion!
The courtyard flared with a brilliance brighter than the sun, and the shockwave from the explosion blasted Jiang He backward, slamming him into and collapsing a wall.
When Jiang He crawled up from the burning rubble and looked ahead—
The small western-style building had half of it blown apart, with Transcendent flas burning everywhere.
Sensing the ssage from the flas, he confird that the other two’s life auras had completely vanished.
Jiang He let out a breath of relief. Looking at the western-style building reduced to ruins, he could not help but sigh in amazent.
Was this his doing?
Was this the power of the Transcendent?
White Crane: “Stop admiring. Hurry and put out the fire.”
Jiang He snapped back to his senses and extended his palm forward.
Under Transcendent control, the scattered flas quickly rushed back, gathering in his palm.
Unfortunately, Jiang He was only a Fire Controller. He had no ability to absorb these flas and replenish his Fire Source. He could only let them dissipate in his palm.
When the last wisp of fla faded away, Jiang He rubbed his sore throat and walked into the western-style building.
By now, the building had almost turned into ruins, scorch marks from the flas everywhere.
Jiang He searched through the wreckage but found no trace of Li Zhi——
In fact, even before releasing the flas, he had not sensed any aura other than killing intent. That was why he had used the flas without restraint.
Where was the person?
“Here.” White Crane stood at the kitchen on the first floor, knocking on the table.
The floor opened up to reveal a hidden door, exposing a staircase leading underground.
Jiang He followed the staircase down. After descending about seven to eight ters, it suddenly opened up.
It was an underground storage room, about the size of two classrooms, filled with rows of steel shelves.
One by one, boys and girls lay on the shelves with their eyes tightly shut, like goods in storage.
The strangest part was that none of these youths revealed the slightest trace of aura.
Even with Jiang He standing right next to them, he could not feel the slightest difference.
“Clap, clap, clap…”
As he was wondering, applause suddenly rang out from the darkness.
Jiang He looked over and saw a man sitting there, clapping.
He, too, revealed no aura at all, even though he had already made sound.
“With such a frail energy level, to have killed those three outside, not bad.” The man’s face was obscured as he spoke.
Jiang He fell silent: “……”
“Oh, don’t worry, those three outside were just ordinary human traffickers, unrelated to .” The man continued, “I’m just here to watch over the goods.”
Jiang He: “……”
“I saw how efficiently you killed them. You’re quite promising. That’s why I’m speaking so much to you.”
The man said, “Don’t you feel even a little dissatisfaction with your current life?”
“Mortals are sheep, Transcendents are wolves.”
“The nature of wolves is to eat at, yet we must stay with sheep and eat grass… over ti, we’re tad into dogs.”
“Interested in joining us, to beco true【Wolves】?”
Jiang He: “……”
The man frowned: “Don’t you want to say sothing?”
Jiang He: “……”
Say what? He had just used up his ultimate skill 【Final Word】. His throat stung, his Word-Spirit and Spell Word powers were sealed, and he could not speak a single word.
Besides, what was there to talk about with a Transcendent thug?
The man shook his head. “Forget it, I’ll just take you back first.”
His figure flickered, and in an instant, he appeared before Jiang He, reaching out to grab him——only to find his body could not move.
As if he had lost control, forcibly fixed in place.
In that mont, his calm deanor vanished, replaced by panic. “What’s going on, I…”
“You’re acting all tough, when you’re just a stinking little C-rank lackey.”
A voice sounded at his ear. A pale-haired youth appeared behind Jiang He.
The man looked at him in horror. He had not even noticed this person’s presence.
He was…
The white-haired youth snapped his fingers.
「Snap」
The man’s heart stopped beating. Consciousness faded.
His body slumped lifelessly to the ground.
Jiang He glanced wordlessly at the corpse.
Couldn’t he use his brain a little? How could an F-rank Transcendent like him dare co here without sothing to rely on?
Of course he had backup!
White Crane, as a super-S-rank Heroic Spirit, though his base energy was restricted to F-rank, his true strength was no less than B-rank.
And Jiang He, as the Master, could completely control his own Heroic Spirit——
As long as he gave the order, he could override White Crane’s will, forcing him to act in accordance with his own thoughts, including but not limited to battle. He could also banish the Heroic Spirit back at any ti.
However, Jiang He did not really want to forcibly control a Heroic Spirit.
After all, the Heroic Spirit was still another version of himself, simply from the future.
“As expected, compared to Word-Spirit, my【Ferryman of Ti】is stronger.”
“Even as an F-rank, I can command a Heroic Spirit with strength no less than B-rank—a true god-tier summoner.”
“What level of talent is this? SSSSSSSSSS-rank?”
The man had been a C-rank Transcendent, with an extrely strong body.
Even in death, Jiang He could hardly burn his corpse with flas and had to rely on White Crane instead.
Before acting, White Crane fished out a badge from the man’s body and handed it to Jiang He.
“What’s this?”
Before White Crane could reply, Jiang He already sensed a change.
In his perception, what was once empty surroundings suddenly revealed traces of aura.
“This is a【Stealth Emblem】, an exclusive Transcendent item of the Wolf Pack organization, derived from the Wolf King’s S-rank talent【Void Realm】.”
“By using this emblem, you can erase your aura, form, and voice, achieving near-perfect invisibility.”
“If he hadn’t underestimated you, even if you had co here, you wouldn’t have noticed his presence.”
White Crane paused before adding:
“Of course, the current Wolf King isn’t that strong yet. This Transcendent item can’t achieve absolute invisibility.”
“Use it if needed, but don’t rely on it.”
Jiang He picked up the emblem, played with it, and tucked it into his chest.
He asked curiously: “In the future, did the Wolf Pack organization use this to evade the Council’s pursuit?”
“Then do you know the Wolf King’s true identity?”
“I don’t.” White Crane shook his head.
Jiang He was surprised: “Even you don’t know?”
White Crane: “Of course. The S-rank Wolf King hid his past as well. Even the Prophet could not see through his identity, let alone .”
Jiang He: “Didn’t you beco super-S-rank, able to command the world with a single thought?”
“Yes, once I could command the world, why would I care about the Wolf King’s identity?”
White Crane said: “Would you squat on the ground and try to distinguish every single ant?”
Jiang He: “…… You’re still the best at pretending.”
