Wolf's Den, Room SS-002.
After devouring the skull, the Nightmare Wind let out a satisfied burp.
Seeing this, Ye Bai tossed the newly bought large bone into it as well.
This time, the Nightmare Wind devoured even faster. After a chilling grinding sound, not even a fragment of the bone remained.
After consuming two pieces of SSS Rank materials, the durability of the Nightmare Wind was significantly restored.
In front of Ye Bai, the corresponding information appeared:
[Equipment: Nightmare Wind (LV.21)
Rank: SSS
Durability: 0.201%
Attributes: Agility +201, Strength +200, Constitution +200
Physical/Magic Defense: 201
Traits:
[I'm Broken]: Please fix me, I really miss being as good as new.
[Master of Three Elements]: Choose any three elemental types, all spell effects +2%.
[Shadow of the Hellhound]: Summon a shadow of a Hellhound (LV.20) to fight for you. Once defeated, it requires 24 hours to recover before it can be summoned again.
]
After devouring two bones, the durability of the Nightmare Wind only increased by 0.2%.
"A single Hellhound Emperor can only provide 72 bones, which equals 7.2% durability.
To fully repair the Nightmare Wind, it would take nearly fourteen Hellhound Emperors!"
Ye Bai's face darkened; he had greatly underestimated the Nightmare Wind's gold-devouring capability.
"However, looking at the traits [Master of Three Elements] and [Shadow of the Hellhound], it seems that throwing in certain materials will trigger a chain reaction, enhancing the corresponding traits!"
Ye Bai calculated that once the Hellhound Emperor bones were used up, he would see if there were other suitable SSS Rank materials.
To maximize the combat power of the Nightmare Wind, ensuring a diversity of materials during the repair process was crucial.
For the Master of Three Elements, Ye Bai set it to [Wind, Fire, Lightning].
Even though it's only a 2% boost, it's still useful.
Once all the Hellhound Emperor bones are accounted for, this ratio should increase.
Thinking about the massive debt of 60 million gold coins he still owed, Ye Bai felt a headache coming on.

"Let's not think about that for now."
Ye Bai fastened his cloak and focused his mind.
Shadow of the Hellhound!
A half-human-sized vicious dog leaped out from the shadow, baring its teeth, looking fierce and menacing.
[Little Cutie, chicken flavor, crispy and crunchy, making you drool]
"Monster: Hellhound (Juvenile)
LV.20
HP: 45,000
MP: 30,000
Physical Defense: 380
Magic Defense: 400
Skills: Vicious Dog Roar, Guard Dog..."
In terms of combat power, this shadow could sweep through sixth-tier warriors.
"Not bad, better than nothing."
The strength of a sixth-tier warrior was indeed not impressive for Ye Bai at the moment.
But this was just from two bones, cultivating the shadow of a Hellhound!
Its strength was weak, but its potential was immense!
"Once all the bones are gathered, it might not reach War God-level, but at least it could rival a Battle King!"
This way, Ye Bai would have another layer of protection.
"Come back."
The Hellhound transformed into a shadow and merged into the Nightmare Shadow behind Ye Bai.
As long as it wasn't killed, it could exist indefinitely.
Once defeated, it only needed 24 hours to be summoned again.
Putting aside the Nightmare Shadow, Ye Bai began to study the five skill books gifted by Traceless.
"The level requirements are way too high!"
Ye Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes. Only now did he understand why Traceless had given him five books at once.
Four of them required a minimum level of 200 to learn!
The only one Ye Bai could learn now was just one.
"Stay calm, the higher the level requirement, the stronger the skill!"
Since he had decided to exploit a glitch with the King Sword, these five skill books wouldn't escape Ye Bai's grasp.
With the meat already at his mouth, would Ye Bai let it fly away?
Even if it did fly away, Ye Bai would snatch it back with interest!
After calming himself, Ye Bai focused on studying the skill book in front of him:
[Traceless · Water Severing Stream]
The skill book even had a background introduction!
"I comprehended a sword at level 50, capable of slaying a Battle King."
"Second Brother sure knows how to boast, this is good, I'll jot it down for future use."
Ye Bai had already made up his mind.
In a few decades, he would also leave behind a skill book.
[Asura · Lightning Arrow]: I comprehended an arrow at level 1, capable of slaying gods and demons.
Ye Bai placed the skill book in his palm, and a white light flashed,
"Successfully learned the skill Water Severing Stream!"
[Water Severing Stream]: Draw your sword at lightning speed to slash the opponent, dealing (2000 + 1.5*Physical Attack) physical damage.
Targets hit by Water Severing Stream cannot recover health for 5 seconds.
Cost: None
Cooldown: 5S
The skill description was very concise, Water Severing Stream had two effects: damage and healing reduction.
No, it shouldn't be called healing reduction, it should be called healing immunity!
"Second Brother's cheat is no less impressive than mine."
Ye Bai sighed.
Indeed, supreme beings are all cheaters.
However, there was one thing Ye Bai didn't quite understand,
"Besides healing immunity, the damage of Water Severing Stream isn't particularly high.
Yet Second Brother claimed this sword could slay a Battle King... could he be exaggerating?"
Based on Ye Bai's understanding of Traceless, this possibility was very low.
"Perhaps when combined with Second Brother's own talent, Water Severing Stream can unleash terrifying power, enough to slay a Battle King."
Putting away the remaining skill books, Ye Bai tried using Water Severing Stream a few more times and found it quite satisfactory.
"This move, Second Brother probably hasn't taught anyone else."
"Great, from today on, I'm the senior disciple of Water Severing Stream!"
Ye Bai felt invincible with a sword in hand, looking down on all heroes.
I, Asura, am not targeting anyone, I'm just saying that all the Demon Gods present are _____.
Putting away the King Sword, if Xue Meng saw this, it would easily give him high blood pressure.
To care for the physical and mental health of middle-aged and elderly people, Ye Bai decided to keep a low profile.
Leaving Room SS002, he headed to the front desk.
Die Meng had a deep impression of him and proactively asked, "Anything else?"
To prevent Ye Bai from taking the initiative, Die Meng quickly added,
"Xue Meng instructed that you can't charge him anymore."
"Am I that kind of person?"
Ye Bai was annoyed, why did everyone underestimate him?
"I just wanted to ask, if Asura achieves an SSSS Rank score, do we have any promotional activities here?"
"Uh..."
Die Meng was taken aback, was this guy still holding a grudge about the free meal?!
"Achieving an SSSS Rank score once in a day gets you 20% off on all purchases.
Twice, 50% off.
Three times, 10% off.
Four times, free."
Die Meng quickly set the rules and even wrote them on a small blackboard, hanging it in a prominent place at the front desk.
"Thank you, I understand."
Ye Bai calculated in his mind.
Today, in 6 hours, he could achieve an SSSS Rank score at most twice, and a 50% discount on food wasn't worth it!
Why pay when you can get it for free?!
He had just extorted 5,000 portions of food from Xue Meng, enough to feed the miners for a few days.
Once he was confident of achieving at least three SSSS Rank scores, he would come back to stock up.
Bidding farewell to Die Meng, Ye Bai left the Combat Power Test Hall and stepped onto the street.
Summoning the Eternal Core Crystal, Ye Bai placed his hand on it, feeling a slight chill.
"Please select the floor to go to."
"The seventh floor."
A white light engulfed Ye Bai,
and a familiar prompt sounded in his ear.
"Wishing you a swift clearance of the Eternal Tower."
