Chapter 147 Prince Chopin’s Super Evolution

Watching Clara's performance, Old Wang instinctively took a step back. "Clara, we're familiar and have cooperated before, but don't use the pretext of giving me a token to actually covet my body!"

Clara clenched her teeth in anger, truly regretting it. How could this guy understand how important this mark was to her? And it was her first kiss, which she had always dreamed about. She felt wronged herself.

"You're overthinking it; this is just for casting the Arcane spell!!!"

"But it's my first kiss!" Old Wang said with difficulty. "Isn't there supposed to be a red envelope or something for the first time? At least make some gesture..."

"What do you mean by your first kiss, do you think I..." Clara seemed to realize she had let something slip and quickly stopped herself.

Seeing Wang Feng's smug expression, Clara suddenly put on a charming smile. "Alright, I'm not irresponsible. Actually, I find you quite interesting. Why don't you marry me? I promise you'll always be the most pampered one."

"My goodness!" Old Wang looked shocked and disbelieving. "I'm still a kid, how can you bear to do this..."

Seeing Wang Feng's infuriating demeanor, Clara finally couldn't hold back anymore. An Arcane energy ball appeared in her hand. "Wang Feng, die!"

Old Wang had already fled at the first opportunity. Teasing the little mermaid was quite fun.

The mermaid race was thoroughly matriarchal, especially the royal family. It was common for a mermaid princess to have several husbands, and they held absolute power over their lives.

No matter how adventurous Old Wang was, he wasn't interested in that arrangement.

When he came out of the auction house, the heat from the mark on his chest had long since disappeared, and even its color had faded significantly.

Joking aside, Old Wang knew very well that the so-called token of the sea race was a form of artificial evolution, granting the ability to survive underwater. But mermaid Arcane spells were usually two-way, and this physical mark could also turn into a curse.

The sea race wasn't just showing goodwill; they wanted control. Unfortunately...

Old Wang hummed a tune cheerfully: "I'm a Worm God seedling, this curse won't work on me!"

...

It was an ancient forest.

Everything here seemed exceptionally tall. The grass on the ground grew up to knee height, and the fire-red mushrooms were like giant fans, providing shade. The distant mountain peak shrouded in mist pierced the sky, making humans feel small and insignificant.

Rustle rustle rustle...

The stream in the forest flowed gently, and a pile of tattered clothes lay on the shore. There were two large holes in the pants, and the shirt was barely more than a rag with half a sleeve left.

In the calm stream, a figure suddenly stood up, sending droplets of water flying. Under the morning sun, the robust and perfect physique was highlighted.

It was Xiao Bang.

Though a bit darker, he no longer felt fragile. His muscles were thicker and more natural.

Seventeen minutes, still far from the thirty-minute goal, but better than yesterday.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Bang's face as he leaped out of the stream.

The morning sun wasn't warm, and the cold wind of the mountain chilled his wet body, but Xiao Bang seemed unaffected.

He sat cross-legged, barefoot, basking in the sunlight without moving.

His hands clasped together, holding the divine triangle given to him by his master. A faint aura of soul power emanated from his body, forming a strange circulation, blending internal and external spirals, as if his body was merging with nature.

Old Wang's divine triangle was a combination of a triangle and a circle, offering stability and rotation. At first, Xiao Bang didn't know what to do with it, but when he applied it to his soul power, he gradually found a rhythm, from initial awkwardness to gradual mastery. Focused solely on his pursuit, the whole world became his teacher, and Xiao Bang's talent truly blossomed.

Gradually, he became part of the landscape, blending seamlessly with nature...

Rustle rustle rustle...

There were some movements in the forest, and a vigilant and ferocious gaze peered through the dense foliage.

It had been scanning the area for a while, seemingly finding nothing, yet unwilling to leave. Its eyes might deceive it, but its sense of smell wouldn't. It could sense prey, one that radiated soul power!

Finally, it saw the human who had merged with nature, confirming it as today's lunch.

Drip drip...

A few drops of saliva fell onto the leaves. It arched its slender body, lifted its paws, and slowly approached.

Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters...

The beast paused. This was the optimal attack distance, but the target remained unaware.

Boom!

The four-meter-long body leaped, descending from the air. The thick fur bristled with demonic energy, sending needle-like hairs shooting toward the target!

Success! And the prey remained oblivious until the last moment. Such a stupid creature must taste delicious!

Excitement flashed in its eyes, but then its pupils widened in shock.

An invisible field seemed to surround the 'clumsy' prey. The demonic needles bounced off, not only failing to penetrate but rebounding at an even faster speed!

Bang bang bang bang!

Wail wail wail!!

The beast, suspended in mid-air, had nowhere to dodge, instantly struck by its own needles. Terrified and in pain, it let out a loud cry, followed by the sound of a heavy fall and a hasty retreat.

Xiao Bang remained motionless, sitting cross-legged like a meditating monk, the invisible field around him gradually dissipating, once again blending with nature...

...

The top-tier α5 soul crystal greatly increased Wang Feng's confidence and success rate. In the Nine Heavens, Old Wang had the most experience with teleportation spells. Even if there was a slight deviation here, the extra energy should be enough. The chances of returning home seemed almost certain.

Clara had already secured the soul crystal, and the other materials were relatively easy to gather, though it would take a few days. Old Wang had roughly set the date for his return, now just waiting for the materials to arrive.

In the past few days, I've been arranging various 'posthumous affairs'. After all, we've been through a lot with our orcish brothers, having received a prepayment of 600,000. Old Wang didn't actually plan to cheat them. He helped the Institute of Potions acquire a large batch of materials. Although the goods worth two million are not deliverable, the goods corresponding to the prepayment are more than enough. If the success rate can be slightly increased, the orcs can still make a profit. When the time comes, I'll leave a message for Fantasi to hand over to Tai Kun.

Thus, surprisingly, there were still 80,000 euros left in the card. These past few days, Old Wang's meals have been exceptionally good, all hotel deliveries, directly to the foundry dormitory. It's as if at meal times, Winnie would come over on time, her eyes shining, sniffing the aroma to get a free meal. After a few days, she seemed to have gained weight, looking radiant and refreshed, but not growing taller. In fact, this girl Winnie is very cute, with excellent body proportions. If she were to wear high heels, she would have a visually striking sexiness. It's just her temperament that's a bit much—either making a bear explode or threatening to burn someone's vitals. That's really something for her boyfriend to handle.

At noon, Winnie came over again for a free meal, this time bringing the whole team. Hei Wukai was absent today, so she was in charge of the training. After all, happiness is meant to be shared.

"Feng, Lei Lei has come to see me again," Fantasi said, looking quite well these days: "She wants to get back together, saying that what she said at the time was due to being poisoned and her mind was a bit disordered. Did I wrongly accuse her?"

Beside her, Winnie was gnawing on a wing, actually a turkey wing, her small mouth full of oil, and still holding a string in her hand. It has to be said, she looks good, even eating looks good. Hearing this, she widened her eyes: "Reunite? Have you been together before? Wait, why are you two laughing so lewdly? Also, what's this about poisoning and mental confusion, there's something fishy going on, Axiba, Old Wang, what gossip do you two have that Miss me doesn't know about?"

Kela and Wu Di were eating hastily, Kela lost in thought while Wu Di pricked up his ears. He had heard countless versions of Fantasi and Rachel's story and found it a bit hard to comprehend. If one likes someone, shouldn't they just go and propose marriage and then get married on the spot? Humans make things too complicated...

"Men's matters, children should not interfere," Old Wang said with a wave of his hand, picking his teeth with a sense of confidence: "Anyway, I told you, you wouldn't understand."

"Wang Feng, I'm just a few months younger than you, alright? My boyfriend, huh!" Winnie scornfully glanced around.

Wang Feng chuckled, "So what kind do you like?"

"As for me, I'm primarily a face person. If you're handsome, I don't care about your family background, your height, your race, or even your age, as long as you're within a span of two hundred years." Winnie said smugly, then glanced at Old Wang, "Even if the top alchemists were to transform you, it would be hopeless."

Wang Feng and Fantasi exchanged a glance, "We're not interested in children!"

"I can't believe this..." Winnie's eyes widened in disbelief. When did this guy ever dare to speak to her like this? She was about to flare up: "Wang Feng, you've been a bit off the ground these past few days..."

Winnie, there's a saying back in my hometown: "He who eats from another's hand is bound to be less outspoken." Do you understand?

Winnie licked her greasy fingers, swallowing the words that were about to escape her lips. Although she wasn't the type to go soft just because someone fed her, she still had to think about the next meal...

At last, the surroundings fell silent. A single sentence was enough to extinguish the cannon's fire, that's the power of money. Old Wang turned his head towards Fantasi with a sense of relief, observing his hesitant demeanor which was actually a sign of being tempted. It was understandable; she was the first woman for Ah Xi, and moreover, the goddess he had been secretly admiring for a long time. Likely, he had already concocted countless excuses in his mind: "Ah Xi, you can tell her about your relationship, but it has to be public. See if she agrees."

"Is there a difference?" Fantasi asked blankly.

"Fool, not going public means she's treating you as a backup or a jack, to get through this awkward time. Once she finds someone better, she'll kick you to the curb without hesitation, because she's got you figured out. If she goes public, it'll be harder for her to switch later on, at least it shows some sincerity. What do you think?" Winnie said pointedly.

Kela and Wu Di exchanged glances, wondering how humans could have so many schemes.

"What if I agreed?" Fantasi hesitated a bit. He felt he should have let go, but when facing Rachel, he still couldn't control himself, especially as time went on, he kept making excuses for her, and when Rachel came to him, he really wasn't as resolute as he's saying now.

"Then let's talk about it! What are you afraid of?" Old Wang rolled his eyes, thinking this guy had really let go, but it seemed he still needed more training, and this time it was the advanced version. Being a lapdog is nowhere near as comfortable as being a scumbag: "Isn't your Lei Lei charming? She's your mentor, Axiba. You should respect your mentor."

"Absolutely, I'll follow your lead!" Fantasi made up his mind resolutely.
