Translator: Irene Editor: Lis

Unlike the others who felt as though they were bound hand and foot, Ai Hui was like a fish in water, glad to be back in a familiar environment

In the Wilderness, darkness ruled Numerous massacres and sneak attacks occurred quietly in that very darkness, seizing lives and warth didn’t matter; the elementalists ere unable to adapt to the dark would not survive

Ai Hui soon sensed a presence nearby—so close that he anticipated they would pass each other

Initially, he had no intention of attacking As long as he ed to hide and keep silent in a corner for five minutes, he could collect the prize money and leave because the rules stated that he would win as long as he persevered for fivedefeated

It was, however, a matter of life and death in the Wilderness No rules applied

When Ai Hui realized that the situation was not as he had expected, he responded instinctively The opponent was dangerously close to him If the opponent attacked, he wouldn’t be able to launch a counterattack Ai Hui entered a flowing state and gauged the danger level using the terrifying

dire beasts that lived in the Wilderness as a benchmark He would never foolishly assume that the people around him would be unable to adapt to the darkness

Countless life or death experiences had taught his body that when such situations arose, initiating an attack would give hiraceful Like a cat in the night, each step he took was absolutely noiseless

His movements were very slow, to the point that not even the sound of wind could be heard This here Ai Hui’s rich experience came into play Within the dark environ ray of light

Silence was darkness’s best coently advanced towards it

He was in a highly anticipatory state The flesh and hout his entire body were in a critical state, like a volcano on the verge of eruption Nobody would have been able to discern this, however, from his external appearance

Suddenly, he stopped and held his breath

He was a seasoned hunter; he sensed that his prey had detected his presence

He did not kno to describe this sense of awareness or where this intuition was based There was no need for substantiation in the Wilderness There was only victory or failure, life or death

He stood in place like a statue, without a single movement

On the other side, Shi Xueh she wasn’t certain, it was enough to put her on guard She focused all her attention on the surroundings, vigilantly using her ears to capture any sounds

But somewhere a little further away, she could hear the breaths of a few people Although they were suppressed, she ed to capture the noises In fact, she heard so quietly around her left side

Inwardly she shook her head At this point, any ht then, about ten roan could be heard, followed by the collisions of intense punching and kicking Soon, chaos took over that area

Shi Xueh of relief It seemed it was an illusion There was no one within a three- in the dark was indeed very different

Shi Xueman felt stimulated by such an unfamiliar battle Her nerves tensed up like never before Her perception of the surroundings was also unprecedentedly acute If she could keep this up, her fighting abilities would take a qualitative leap

Before her eyes unfolded a path she had never seen before

She felt like a hunter hidden within the shadoaiting for the best opportunity to strike Confidence bubbled up within her Under such a high level of alertness, even the slightest change in her surroundings could not escape her

While she was preoccupied with this fresh experience, she suddenly felt soainst her shoulder

It broke her reverie and made her hair stand on end She had not ?

So—a presence, a sound, even a change in airflow A chill shot up her spine

Her reaction was too sloever Even as she finally realized the danger, it was already too late

When Shi Xuehts earlier, the statue-like Ai Hui ly slowly, even more so than a ninety-year-old lady He advanced with his five fingers carefully extended, grasping and exploring the area before hihtly, with the flesh and e
