Five days later, at Evil Dog Village.

A shadowy figure dashed through the torch-lit path and disappeared into the vast night again.

"Woof!"

"Woof!!" Two evil dogs frantically barked, chasing after the dark figure.

This scene, didn't it seem familiar?

It precisely demonstrated that Lu Ran's team's tactics were adeptly executed again.

But this time, there was a slight difference.

Jiang Tian Deng trio was present, yet only Deng Tian were engaged in combat, also bearing the responsibility of protecting their teammate.

Jiang Ruyi did not join the battle, but sat on the ground, her body dramatically pulsating with energy.

Yes, she was advancing on the battlefield!

"Baa~"

In the dark wilderness, Lu Ran deliberately slowed his pace, uttering the Sound of Despair.

"Woof!!" The evil dogs sped like mad, rapidly closing the distance.

"Left." Lu Ran, blinded by a red bandana, lost his sight, but his other senses slightly sharpened.

He felt an energy fluctuation on his right front, and promptly with a tilt of his body, he dodged to the left.

Just as expected!

Four sharp fangs suddenly appeared and snapped viciously, emitting a shrill noise.

All of a sudden, Lu Ran stomped heavily on the ground.

Turn around, crouch, backslide, Immortal Hoof...

The movements flowed smoothly in succession!

"Tss—"

Mists swirled around Lu Ran's feet, and he halted abruptly before surging forward, charging directly at his pursuers!

This unexpected maneuver caught the evil dogs off guard.

The leading evil dog was unable to react and instinctively opened its mouth to confront Lu Ran.

The evil dog trailing behind reacted swiftly, immediately using Evil Technique!

Four sharp fangs appeared out of nowhere on Lu Ran's intended path, determined to shred him to pieces!

"Baa!!"

Lu Ran, who was rushing forward, suddenly materialized a pair of thick ram horns on his head.

Stream Grade Divine Skill·Immortal Horn!

Lu Ran's expression was grim, unstoppable.

His entire body radiated an intense murderous aura.

"Crack!"

Evil Technique·Evil Tooth was brutally shattered by the ram horns!

Yet Lu Ran continued forward.

The young ram first broke the fangs, then slammed into the dog's head.

His movements were fluid, and his momentum even more heroic and domineering!

I, Lu Ran... Iron Head!

His robust ram horns harshly collided with the dog's mouth, a crisp sound of breaking bones instantly echoing.

The evil dog's jaw was smashed to pieces, teeth flying everywhere, its body flung away.

"Woo~ Woo woo~~~"

The evil dog wailed miserably as it was sent further and further flying.

Lu Ran's lips tightened excitedly, his killing intent intensified!

Unexpectedly, the other evil dog seemed to have lost its will to fight?

Such a ferocious and brutal evil demon, under the threat of Lu Ran's horns, actually showed cowardice...

What did Lu Ran care?

He charged head-on, directly slaughtering, while the evil dog desperately tried to twist its body, attempting to run sideways.

"Shhh!"

The shadow darted through, blade falling.

The blade sliced into flesh, severing the evil dog midsection!

"Drip~ Drip~"

Lu Ran slightly tilted his head, listening attentively, only to hear the sound of blood beads dripping from the tip of the Dawn Blade.

He furrowed his brows slightly; why couldn't he hear the other evil dog, the one whose mouth was smashed?

Had it been flung too far?

Having no other choice, Lu Ran grasped the red bandana and lifted it slightly.

His dark eyes shimmered dimly, scouring the distant pitch-black wilderness, locating the limp evil dog on the ground.

Its mouth was a bloody mess, incessantly bleeding, unable to close again.

Lu Ran turned his head towards the torch-lit path, just in time to see the battle there had just ended.

Lu Ran tugged slightly at the red bandana, once again covering his eyes, and pressed the River Grade·Divine Power Pearl against the dog's corpse.

"Brother Lu?"

"It's over!" Lu Ran responded loudly.

"There's still barking over there!" Deng Yutang shouted.

"Just its death throes, it's almost dead."

Under Lu Ran's hand, the evil dog's bones rapidly dissolved, all of it transforming into energy and merging into the Divine Power Pearl.

After a moment,

Lu Ran picked up the Demon Crystal and stepped towards the struggling evil dog.

The Dawn Blade fell, ending the life of the evil dog.

Just as Lu Ran knelt on one knee, harnessing energy with the Divine Power Pearl, he suddenly sensed something.

In his mind, in the lifeless Evil Demon Sculpture Garden.

The Evil Dog Evil Sculpture trembled slightly.

An Evil Demon Sculpture was already huge enough, standing 10 meters tall, but now it managed to grow even further?

Lu Ran was astounded!

He hadn't dreamt, but the image of the Evil Dog sculpture was vividly outlined in his mind.

In continuous trembling, the Evil Dog Evil Sculpture grew frantically until it reached 20 meters tall before it gradually settled.

This meant...

The Evil Dog Evil Sculpture ascended a realm, finally reaching Stream Realm·First Rank!

Before entering Evil Dog Village, Lu Ran's Evil Dog Evil Sculpture was approximately at the Mist Realm·Third Rank.

Just 200 souls of Mist Realm evil dogs could bring it to Mist Realm fifth rank.

On the second day of entering the village, Lu Ran had already achieved this target.

Although the progress was swift, Lu Ran felt something was amiss!

Because, on the night of July 15, he had slain a few evil dogs with his team.

Among them were not a few River Realm evil dogs!

So Lu Ran suspected that Lord Immortal Goat might be filling its own pocket, secretly consuming some souls...

Of course, if it could help Lord Immortal Goat, providing some reward, Lu Ran was willing.

Thus, Lu Ran didn't make inquiries, acting as if nothing happened.

Regarding the next few days, Lu Ran found himself in a dilemma.

When human clan transcends a major realm, they no longer require accumulation of quantity but need an "epiphany"!

What about an Evil Demon Sculpture, then?

For this, Lu Ran specifically asked Lord Immortal Goat, but the latter didn't give a definitive answer, just instructed Lu Ran to focus on slaughtering.

No definitive answer?

That means this process might be even more beneficial.

However, Lu Ran still remained silent; he wasn't foolish, only willing to repay a favor.

Moreover, since the Evil Demon Sculpture Garden was created by Lord Immortal Goat, and Lu Ran as the sole user, paying a management fee was appropriate.

Regardless, it finally succeeded now.

"Lord Immortal Goat, may I now initiate Evil Technique·Evil Agility?" Lu Ran asked softly.

A deep voice responded, "Help yourself."

"Yes!" Lu Ran secured the two Demon Crystals and hurriedly returned to the torch-lit path.

"Brother Lu, come back earlier next time," Deng Yutang said as the shadow approached, advising.

Although Tian Tian did not speak, the relief on her face was evident, clearly worried for Lu Ran.

"Hmm." Lu Ran replied softly, raised a finger to his lips, signaling them to keep quiet.

After all, Jiang Ruyi was in the midst of advancing.

Deng Yutang and Tian Tian were obedient, staying silent. Lu Ran slightly lowered his head, exploring his own spiritual world.

Without needing to dream, the Evil Dog Sculpture had already been activated, always closely connected to Lu Ran.

Just a few seconds later, Divine Power began to surge secretly within Lu Ran.

Like flowing water, the Divine Power orderly circulated, continuously streaming along Lu Ran's body pathways.

The application method of Evil Technique·Evil Agility was somewhat similar to the human clan's cultivation process.

Lu Ran was all too familiar with this!

Wasn't this just nourishing the body with Divine Power?

No... it was more like activating the body!

Lu Ran carefully sensed everything, his excitement growing.

After consecutive battles, he was inevitably a bit tired, his steps slightly heavy.

But after initiating Evil Agility, did Lu Ran's body feel light?

Was this the sensation of enhanced agility attributes?

Wait a minute!

Now that the Evil Dog Sculpture had reached the Stream Realm.

Then Evil Technique·Evil Sense and Evil Technique·Evil Tooth should also be able to improve in quality, reaching Stream Grade!

Lu Ran used Evil Tooth relatively less, after all, there was a black crow (Dou Zhiqiang) flying in the sky.

But what about Evil Technique·Evil Sense?

Lu Ran utilized it quite frequently!

The perception range of Stream Grade·Evil Sense should be larger, senses even more acute?

Lu Ran slightly tilted his head, actively pushing the Evil Technique, carefully listening to the surrounding environment.

"Ha..."

Coincidentally, Lu Ran just happened to hear a sigh.

Jiang Ruyi's lips parted lightly, emitting a long and slight sigh which also carried a tremble.

It was evident she was trying hard to restrain herself.

But while she might evade Deng Tian's human ears, how could she escape someone's dog ears?

For a moment, Lu Ran was overwhelmed.

Jiang Ruyi was clearly a composed and graceful lady, yet Lu Ran distinctly heard a hint of allure.

It was worthy of being called an Evil Technique!

Truly living up to the "Evil" in its name!

Hmm... yes, definitely the Evil Technique was too filthy, definitely not my heart.

"Thank you," Jiang Ruyi spoke softly, expressing gratitude to her teammates.

"Ruyi sister, did you succeed?" Tian Tian squatted down, eyes brimming with joy.

The flickering torchlight reflected Jiang Ruyi's delicate features.

She slowly opened her eyes, radiance swirling within.

Lu Ran spoke at the right moment, "Keep maintaining this state, try to condense the mist in your body into water streams, you might advance at any moment."

Jiang Ruyi lifted her gaze, her expression earnest, looking towards the person with eyes covered by a red bandana: "Hmm, I'll try hard to catch up with you."

Lu Ran was momentarily stunned, then after a few seconds, blurted out:

"That's too humble! There's no need to try hard, I promise you that."

Jiang Ruyi: ???
