Zhuang Xun walked in front to lead the way, and Su Yuan followed closely behind.


    The two quickly moved through the forest for nearly half an hour. They finally found the Green Flame White Wolf that Zhuang Xun had mentioned in a clearing.


    Zhuang Xun immediately stopped and leaned against a large tree that three people could barely wrap their arms around. Lowering his voice, he said to Su Yuan, "Su Yuan, look, right ahead."


    Su Yuan came closer and looked from behind the tree. Sure enough, there was a huge Green Flame White Wolf, about as tall as a person. The snow-white body had flame-like green patterns, and its eyes glinted with a fierce light, giving off a daunting presence!


    [Green Flame White Wolf]


    [Grade: Elite]


    [Species: Wolf]


    [Element: Fire]


    [Talent: Wolf Nature: The more severe the injuries it sustains, the higher the damage it inflicts, up to a maximum of 24%]


    [Six Dimensions: Strength D, Agility E, Defense E, Constitution E, Spirit F, Star Power D]


    [Skills: Gray Flame Strike (Green), Fiery Fire Claw (Ordinary), Beginner Stage Healing Skill (Ordinary)]


    For mammalian Star Beasts, generally, the larger the size, the stronger the ability.


    At this moment, the massive Green Flame White Wolf was lying on the ground, hugging a fist-sized crystal red ore, which was precisely the Flame Crystal Stone Zhuang Xun wanted.


    Su Yuan observed for a while and then whispered, "The Star Power fluctuations of this Green Flame White Wolf are quite unstable. It seems that it has just recently evolved."


    Zhuang Xun nodded and said, "It should be. The information I received mentioned only a Bronze-Level Fire Stepping Wolf."


    Su Yuan looked at Zhuang Xun expressionlessly, "But earlier, you didn''t mention that there were also four Ninth-Stage Fire Stepping Wolves here?"


    Indeed, surrounding the Green Flame White Wolf were four larger Ninth-Stage Fire Stepping Wolves!


    Zhuang Xun laughed, "I thought four Ninth-Stage Fire Stepping Wolves wouldn''t be much of a problem for us, right?"


    Su Yuan pursed his lips. This guy wasn''t honest, hiding the truth just to make sure he would come along.


    "Fine, dealing with four Fire Stepping Wolves is indeed not much of an issue. But to take on the Green Flame White Wolf, we have to handle them first." Su Yuan pretended to ponder and then said, "How about this? I''ll take care of the four Fire Stepping Wolves, and you handle the Green Flame White Wolf alone. That should be manageable, right?"


    Since they were already here, there was no reason to retreat without a fight. After all, the Gray Flame Strike was still something they had to obtain. However, Zhuang Xun played Su Yuan, so letting him off too easily was out of the question.


    Upon hearing Su Yuan''s words, Zhuang Xun''s face immediately darkened. Acknowledging his guilt, he coughed twice and then reluctantly agreed, "No problem, but you''ll need to be quick...."


    "I see. His isn''t fire element enhanced ability after all. Perhaps he specializes in defense? Damn, this isn''t normal!"


    Zhuang Xun wouldn''t have guessed that this was due to a C-grade defense qualification paired with a Great Success Stage defense skill, Hardened Iron Skin, which was beyond common understanding.


    Grasping the upper jaw of the Fire Stepping Wolf, Su Yuan didn''t wait for the wolf to struggle. He twisted its jaw backward and over his shoulder, slamming it down to the ground.


    "Die."


    Su Yuan rotated the long knife to a reverse grip and thrust it downward into the wolf''s head!


    Blood sprayed. Ninth-Stage Fire Stepping Wolf, dead!


    "Why does a casual outing lead to encountering such a monster..."


    Zhuang Xun swallowed hard. Killing a Ninth-Stage Fire Stepping Wolf wasn''t impressive, but Su Yuan''s toughness was absolutely staggering!


    To subdue a Ninth-Stage Fire Stepping Wolf barehanded—what a monster.


    Zhuang Xun suddenly realized that Su Yuan seemed even stronger than expected, possibly stronger than he was.


    And what was even more terrifying was that this person was only at Star Apprentice Eighth Stage!


    "Where did this freak come from? I remember last time in Shuzhou special recruitment exam, that Fang Kun was from Guangchuan City. Luckily, I''ve kept in touch. I need to ask him!"


    As Su Yuan killed this wolf, it enraged the distant Green Flame White Wolf. Roaring furiously, the remaining two stationary Fire Stepping Wolves and the one that had been pushed back now rushed together toward Su Yuan.


    "You handle the Green Flame White Wolf for now."


    Without turning back, Su Yuan called out to Zhuang Xun. Withdrawing his knife from the wolf''s head, he moved to face the remaining three wolves, clashing with them instantly.


    Once Su Yuan had completely engaged the Fire Stepping Wolves, Zhuang Xun also sprang into action, circling around the battlefield and charging toward the Green Flame White Wolf with his sword.


    The Green Flame White Wolf had already noticed Zhuang Xun but disdainfully didn''t make a move. Now, seeing Zhuang Xun approaching, its eyes grew fiercer. It released a surge of Star Power, causing the green patterns on its white body to light up and burn silently!


    While the Fire Stepping Wolves only had green flames on their four legs, the Green Flame White Wolf was enveloped in a faint green fire during a fight.


    With a single bound, it transformed into a ball of green and white fire, ramming towards Zhuang Xun.


    The terrifying oppression of a Bronze-Level elite demon beast could only be truly felt in this direct confrontation!


    Zhuang Xun''s expression turned serious. He shook his long sword, causing fiery flames to rise and wrap around the entire blade.


    "Such overwhelming Star Power... I hope Su Yuan can wrap things up quickly, or I really won''t last!"


    Gritting his teeth, Zhuang Xun charged, clashing with the incoming Green Flame White Wolf...
