The Evolution Compendium

Lightning Fist!

A masculine Fist Technique that reached the pinnacle of speed, harnessed Celestial Thunder, making it a domineering method for killing enemies.

Moreover, this Lightning Fist is the signature skill of that person with the surname Chu, and since my surname is also Chu, isn't that a coincidence? Of course. This also has something to do with the fact that its creator was a hardcore fan of a certain infamous novel. The Human King Body, released as the latest version of the Deceit Beast, surely resembles that person due to its popularity.

I am a martial arts prodigy; I've quickly mastered the Lightning Fist Technique, Chu Yi thought. He used [Creating Something from Nothing], comprehending the Lightning Fist. Various mysteries and knowledge surged into his brain, immersing him in this Fist Technique for what felt like decades.

The Rune of Flash Secret is also about to expire. Alright, I can kill now.

Chu Yi's eyes sparkled, emitting a stunning burst of electrical light. Even the Dragon Maiden in his arms was shocked; her delicate body trembled slightly, pressing closer to him.

BOOM!

The white mist dissipated, revealing a figure, much to the joy of the Werewolves. They'd finally found him!

"Even if you beg me for mercy again, it won't work," Albert said, looking down coldly. Making one of his Children of Gold kill this opponent was simply dirtying his own hands. Besides, he also had to guard against others.

"Kill him! His bloodline is extraordinary! I want to eat all his flesh!"

"Just a mere blood-food! How arrogant, thinking he has a chance just by clinging to the Blood Race?"

"Opposing His Highness Albert is utterly foolish!"

With a commanding shout, countless Werewolves grinned ferociously; finding Chu Yi meant reclaiming the Furnace of Life.

Hong Yu and Andre were eager but didn't make a move.

「In the distance.」

William spoke, "Miss, we can act now." If they didn't act soon, the Holy Relic would be stolen. As for Chu Yi, William didn't care at all about the life or death of a mere blood-food.

"Wait a bit longer," Avril said, tilting her head slightly. Her jet-black hair draped over her fragrant shoulders, her lips curled into a slight smile. "Knight, you're still holding back, aren't you?"

As she finished speaking, Chu Yi, who had been regarded as a weakling, remained silent and threw a punch.

BOOM—

A dazzling golden light erupted, trailing an immense thunderbolt that resembled dense, flourishing branches. It carried a deafening roar as it tore through the Werewolves' Bloodline Domain, felling one of them with destructive force.

SPLAT!

Blood sprayed as the Werewolf was blown apart by the single punch. Countless pieces of flesh exploded and scattered. A rain of blood showered down, landing on the other Werewolves, who were slowly stiffening in shock.

For a moment, everyone was stunned into dead silence.

"What?!"

「White Tower.」

Countless members of the Alien Race were dumbfounded.

They had initially been speculating which prodigy would seize the Furnace of Life. Yet this human, whom they considered an insignificant ant, had unexpectedly erupted with a powerful strike, blasting a Werewolf apart. He was not at all weaker than Albert.

"This... how is this possible?!" Nus Wolf King exclaimed, his eyes wide. "Just a mere human, how could he launch such an attack! Is it some lightning-type Pet Beast?!"

"No!" another voice interjected. "Even if it were a King's Cub of the lightning type, it couldn't be this easy!"

Prince Morgan took a sip of tea, calming his inner shock. He couldn't help but sneer at Nus Wolf King's exaggerated reaction. Barbarians are just barbarians, making such a fuss over a small matter. They've clearly never seen much of the world, unlike him, who remains calm in both honor and disgrace.

"The Furnace of Life recognized him and helped him awaken an ancient bloodline! It's the Mighty Power from the Golden Tree," Prince Morgan stated indifferently. His authority in the study of Bloodline Domains was significant, and his words gained the recognition of the Alien Race. This was, after all, the most suitable speculation.

"This human indeed hid his abilities well. It's possible that even the Federation has no record of him," Innos said, nodding in agreement. A bloodline that could harness lightning was extraordinarily formidable. Or perhaps, the Mighty Power of the Golden Tree had activated the thunder, and this young man just happened to gain the power of lightning.

「Meanwhile, elsewhere...」

Lightning! Am I seeing things? Zhang Yi was dumbfounded. Did Chu Yi just unleash a bolt of lightning, tearing through the Bloodline Domain and slaying a Dawn Star level Werewolf?! This is simply unbelievable! But thinking about it... if he contracted a King's Cub and possessed an ancient bloodline, then... everything makes sense!

Zhang Yi suddenly understood, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun; it was a moment of enlightenment. Initially, Chu Yi had Super Talent but couldn't contract a Pet Beast—it was because of his bloodline!

"I wasn't wrong! This kid has an ancient bloodline!" Zhang Yi exclaimed. "This is bad! Quickly get the governor over here! We can't let him fall into the hands of the Alien Race!"

BOOM!

A punch swung out, accompanied by a thundering sound, transforming into a sea of intertwined golden lightning. It slaughtered another Werewolf, whose flesh and blood exploded into a shower of gore.

"Courting death!" Albert's face darkened, a purple light flickering deep in his eyes as he stood high above, looking down at Chu Yi.

At this moment, Avril and the other members of the Blood Race no longer feigned ignorance. Trailing crimson streaks, they approached and faced off against Albert.

A young-looking Blood Race girl in a dark dress looked at the handsome youth, smiling sweetly. "Big Brother, please hand the Dragon Maiden over to me." Her implication was clear: he could fight the Werewolves without concern.

Chu Yi nodded and handed Mu Yun to Avril.

Avril smiled slightly. A fairytale-like Wind Chime Flower materialized and lifted Mu Yun, caring for her as attentively as a maid. She didn't ask for the Furnace of Life.

Chu Yi shook his arms, now free from worries. He looked towards Albert, who was confronting the Blood Race, then stepped forward and declared, "I, in the name of Miss Avril's Knight, challenge you."

For some reason, when the clumsy Dragon Maiden had fallen into his arms, he'd felt a surge of anger. Perhaps it was guilt towards the Dragon Maiden, who had been treated like a mere tool. Or perhaps it was because the usually lonely Dragon Maiden had taken a blow for him. He felt a strong need to make amends.

"HAHA, HAHAHA!"

Albert's ink-black hair whipped around him as thick blood energy clung to his body. He glared at the human, "Very well, as you wish."

"You're not the first human to challenge me, but you're definitely the first to challenge me with your bloodline!"

Albert erupted with an astonishing aura, as if emerging from a blazing inferno, his body radiating thick blood energy. He shouted fiercely, "Everyone, if you don't act now, the Furnace of Life will fall into the hands of the Blood Race! Will you just continue to hide in the shadows?"

The moment his words fell, German, who hadn't been seen for a long time, reluctantly stepped out. He looked at Chu Yi with a glint of regret in his eyes. "Don't blame me. You got the Furnace of Life first. If I don't try to seize it now, there'll be no chance left."

BAM!

The ground cracked. Long Bo, who had been lying low for a long time, burst out with fierce momentum. His four sturdy arms had intertwined veins protruding. He patted his own simple-looking head and said with a naive air, "Little brother, I need the Holy Relic. Can you lend it to me?"

HSSS—

Andre was speechless. He summoned a group of Pet Beasts, each exuding a monstrous aura, also intending to join the fray.

"Hah, these crafty ones. They held back their strength just to snatch the kid's things at this moment," Hong Yu sneered, also joining the scramble.

The Alien Race had a consensus: if a human with an ancient bloodline appeared, they must die!

Chu Yi scanned the assembled figures, glanced at the silent Blood Race and the nonchalant Avril, and couldn't help but smile. "Alright."

Somehow, he had become the target of everyone, besieged by the Alien Race. Even the Blood Race seemed unwilling to protect him. But so what?

Chu Yi remained silent, anger gradually rising within him. He couldn't help but laugh wildly. Those not of our race are sure to have different hearts!

"A fair fight. I'm going to kill you. Are you ready?" Albert asked with a faint smile, a hint of contempt in his eyes for this human who clearly didn't understand his situation.

Chu Yi glanced at him coolly. "Enough talk. Come and die."

BAM!

Albert's smile vanished. Blood energy erupted from him, and his entire being seemed like a prehistoric beast tearing through the void.

Chu Yi swung his fist. A screen of golden lightning descended around him, forming a protective, crackling web of lightning as he clashed with Albert.

The other Alien Race prodigies stood by and watched. If a competitor weakened, it would be all the better for them.

BAM!

Albert's expression shifted slightly. His combat technique, which could tear through space, was actually blocked by this human's lightning. Worse, the electricity had injured him.

Strange, he thought, snorting coldly. Since this human wants to compete based on bloodline, then I'll oblige. I come from a great Wolf King bloodline. How could I possibly lose to a lowly human?
