Next, after some contemplation, Wang Wu quickly made a choice.

To prioritize the path of cautiousness and cowardice first.

He inscribed the Ice Shield Technique on the Ice Spirit Pill and the Fire Shield Technique on the Fire Spirit Pill. The effect was immediately apparent.

His four Daoist Techniques of Ice Shield, Fire Shield, Ice Cone, and Fireball all automatically reached Level 3, and with this inscription, the Fire Shield and Ice Shield instantly became 3+1+1=Level 5.

Each time, it consumes 500 points of Ice Spiritual Qi and 500 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

Combined together, the Ice and Fire Shield can exempt 7000 points of damage.

Combined with the Ice and Fire Talisman, a total of 14000 points of damage can be exempted at once.

Of course, this is Wang Wu's own advantage and does not represent the advantage of ordinary Human Race Cultivators.

For example, a Level 5 Ice Shield Technique, if not combined with a Level 5 Fire Shield Technique, can at most only exempt 1500 points of damage.

One would need to cultivate to Level 10 Fire Shield Technique or Ice Shield Technique to achieve the effect of exempting 7000 points of damage.

Next, Wang Wu opened the attribute bar again.

He consumed Spiritual Qi to upgrade the Ruyi Body Technique to Level 3, turning it into 3+1+1=Level 5.

The Demon Wind also ascended to Level 3 together, resulting in Level 5 as well.

These were the highest limits under the current realm.

Afterwards, the Overlord Demon Technique was also upgraded to Level 5 in one breath, reaching the maximum level.

Thus, all the secret technique talents under his innate bloodline system were fully upgraded, except for the basic attributes which could still be allocated points, but it had little meaning now.

Previously, he didn't dare improve them, but now it was fine, with the unification of innate and acquired, he temporarily wasn't afraid of losing control.

After settling all these, Wang Wu replenished his status and already had a plan in mind. He was about to discuss it with General Xuelang.

However, he saw that its condition was extremely poor, sitting there dazed, tears streaming down its face.

He was shocked. At a time like this, you cannot afford to be like this.

"General, what's wrong?"

"I, I'm fine."

General Xuelang forced a difficult smile at Wang Wu, but the tears just wouldn't stop.

Wang Wu suddenly understood, in order to force General Xuelang to appear, the worst had probably happened, Wolf Bu'er was most likely already dead.

Not knowing how much torment it endured, the mother-daughter bond was strong, no wonder General Xuelang had been so haggard these days. Even if it hadn't witnessed it firsthand, it could actually feel it.

For a moment, he found it difficult to say any comforting words, simply holding General Xuelang as it cried silently.

After a long while, General Xuelang suddenly hoarsely said, "Let me be the bait then. Since this person follows the path of corruption and maliciousness, he's akin to Lu Wuchen. Kill him, I'll cover the rear for you, but you must escape over ten thousand miles within a day, or else Lu Wuchen will definitely find you."

"Xiong Wu, I'm afraid it's no secret now that you can gain the breath of human life-fire. Lu Wuchen will definitely use this point against you, setting traps for you. You must stay alive; do not fall for it."

Wang Wu was just about to say something but was stopped by General Xuelang's hand, and it gave a bitter smile.

"I forgot to tell you, your heart is so gentle, no wonder you can receive human life-fire. Alas, but this isn't a good thing. Didn't the sacrifice of your Snake Guard teach you that lesson?"

"What!" Wang Wu was stunned.

"Xiong Wu, bloodline gifting is inherently a two-way street. You're so foolish, this secret technique is only used by those who trust each other most. My heart's blood touched your heart's blood, this is the most ancient contract, so as long as I'm near you, I'll gain the same passive concealment effect. But She Shoujiu was before me, left a mark on it. It's not intentional, but unavoidable. In the future, maybe even more excellent women will see the marks we and it have left on this."

"Stop! Don't talk such nonsense! And don't interfere with my thoughts! You still owe me a litter of little bears! The Bear Demon Emperor witnesses, you are already my concubine!"

Wang Wu angrily tightened his hold on General Xuelang. She Shoujiu's death before his eyes had left such a psychological shadow on him that he didn't want to experience it again.

"Bear Demon Emperor!"

At this moment, General Xuelang was shocked, forgetting sorrow, forgetting to cry, "You, you, you really are the child of Xiong Erhua?"

"Who is Xiong Erhua? No, why is that the name?"

Wang Wu vaguely realized, General Xuelang most likely knew Bear Mother, and Bear Mother was called Xiong Erhua?

Are you kidding! You might as well be called Xiong Er Pang.

"Your mother, she was once the Mountain Master of the Great Snow Mountain Academy. Back then, I was just a little wolf, she was so powerful, she was like a Celestial God whom I worshiped."

"Only she would give you the Inheritance Soul Jade of the Bear Demon Emperor, so you repaired the Inheritance Soul Jade? Don't move!"

General Xuelang was so excited it was at a loss, letting Wang Wu stand still, then taking three steps back, kneeling, bowing its head, sincerely like never before.

Wang Wu wanted to stop it, but it glared at him.

"Don't move, I'm not worshiping you, I'm worshiping the Bear Demon Emperor…"

"You might as well worship me."

"Hush! Nonsense, don't blame me!"

Wang Wu was somewhat displeased, but seeing General Xuelang revive in its spirits, this was a good thing.

After quite a while, General Xuelang finally finished, seeming as if it had been reborn.

"Did you communicate with the Bear Demon Emperor?"

Wang Wu was curious.

"How is that possible? But I indeed regained courage, my life, my future, I'm willing to entrust all to you, from now on, you are my king."

General Xuelang gazed at Wang Wu, its eyes still containing inerasable grief, but more than that, it was filled with the flames of revenge, a wild pride, resolute, unyielding, proud!

And all of this converges into a beam of light!

The once General Xuelang has returned.

"So, Xiong Wu, my king, tell me what to do?"

For a moment, Wang Wu was somewhat intimidated. General Xuelang's gaze was incredibly aggressive; he had no doubt it could turn into a mass of flames or endless ice and snow, destroying and freezing everything.

He felt himself locked on by the Wolf's Glance Divine Techniques!

And this was still in human form. What if it was in wolf form?

Too thrilling.

So this is the aura and style of a Peak Third-Grade Great Demon.

One he could only handle through ambush.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more imposing, but ultimately gave up. No point in determining who's up or down.

It's all the same!

Wang Wu smiled gently and picked up the somewhat badass General Xuelang.

"We don't need to do anything; we just wait."

"Now close your eyes and have a good sleep."

"I've got everything covered."

"Mm."

It's as if shedding the cold, hard armor, General Xuelang at this moment was tender like a kitten, pitiful to behold, and then...

It truly fell into a deep sleep in Wang Wu's arms, even shrinking to the size of a cat, finally taking a break from the hardships and tribulations it had experienced over the years.

Wang Wu was very calm, his heart empty, sitting cross-legged on the hill, above him was a silent starry sky, around him were the dark and still mountains, as if the world had only the two of them left.

However, he was certain that from all directions, even within a thousand miles, a series of Heaven and Earth Nets had formed.

That person, like a spider in this great net, waited for the moment to close the trap, cold, indifferent, and with supreme confidence.

This truly was a terrifying, meticulous, and unrivaled adversary in strategy.

Wang Wu knew he could never win on this track.

So he opened two other tracks.

The first track being General Xuelang's map. Thanks to General Xuelang's reconnaissance over the past ten years, Wang Wu now knew all the mountains and rivers, plants, and every stone, every tree within these three thousand miles of the Human Race Territory like the back of his hand.

This wasn't just a simple map, but a penetrating, three-dimensional, holographic, all-dimensional map that extended three kilometers underground.

That's why General Xuelang's strategic significance is immense.

Its Wolf's Glance Divine Techniques shows true value not in a single release, but in hundreds of combined releases.

Wang Wu was awestruck, wanting to pamper it.

Grateful beyond words, akin to a bear and wolf colluding.

He now, through this incredibly detailed map, could roughly determine where the Dark Alliance's true base in Luoyue City was, and he could roughly ascertain the unknown opponent's intent.

No matter how ingenious or well-prepared you are, some things never change.

So Wang Wu wouldn't confront this unknown opponent head-on; he only needed to confirm one thing.

You will attack the Dark Alliance's base, and that's enough.

Then Wang Wu's second track was his Danger Perception, which surpassed even the Bear Demon Emperor, exceeding Level 20 in Danger Perception.

As the night deepened, and the mountain winds sharpened, General Xuelang was still in a deep sleep, when Wang Wu suddenly stood silently, gazing at a distant high mountain, before his figure merged into the night.

About ten minutes later, he was standing on a verdant cliff, where he had a perfect view of the mountaintop three kilometers away.

There, a team of about fifty Human Race Cultivators were busy, one group setting up the Guardian Array midway up the mountain, another setting up an Interception Array at the peak, and the last setting up a Quick Reaction Sword Array.

Yes, a Quick Reaction Sword Array.

If the Human Race Cultivators' Lifebound Sword and the Demon Race's Lifebound Demon Soldiers were equivalent to the 98K and heavy machine guns.

Then the Quick Reaction Sword Array was like tanks, heavy artillery, and later self-propelled artillery, heavy tanks in World War II battlegrounds back on Earth.

The Human Race Cultivation Realm still highly valued productivity.

Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivators were scarce, but depending on its size and level, a Quick Reaction Sword Array could at its weakest equate to a full-force strike from a Celestial Realm Third-Grade Cultivator, and at its strongest, even surpass a Celestial Realm First-Grade.

The only limitation of a Quick Reaction Sword Array was the need for preemptive detection, preemptive targeting, and sustained targeting at high speed.

This point has always been a challenge, difficult for Human Race Cultivators to overcome, and even if overcome, setup was extremely costly, not suited for the Quick Reaction Sword Array's mobile, detachable attack style.

Hence, the Human Race sought various ways to contract Spirit Beasts.

At present, approximately fifty Spirit Beasts were flying in the sky or lurking underground, spread out like skirmishes within a radius of forty to fifty miles, forming a dense alert zone, also serving as observation posts for the Quick Reaction Sword Array. Once a suspicious target was detected, it could be quickly marked, and then terrifying strands of Sword Qi would rain down from tens to hundreds of miles away.

Under such almost thirtyfold supersonic, terrifying Sword Qi assaults, it was difficult for anyone to withstand or escape.

Not to mention, this wasn't a single Quick Reaction Sword Array.

Within five hundred miles, Wang Wu saw a total of ten arrays.

Within a thousand miles, there were about thirty arrays.

In addition, there were other arrays, other means; this was truly a Heaven and Earth Net.
