TVSS Chapter 44

Discovering movement, Su Jingxuan promptly stood up and headed in the direction of the activity.

In the past, his lover didn’t hurry to find a host or cannon fodder supporting role when possessing someone, but this time, his lover had possessed the protagonist. He needed to locate the person swiftly.

Although he had great confidence in his lover, he was too familiar with the despicable control rules of this world. His lover was no longer the powerful one who broke the rules initially. He didn’t want his lover to succumb to the world’s rules.

For some reason, he always felt that if his lover was truly affected by the world rules, it was very likely that he would be manipulated by fate, just like his own initial experience, falling into an eternal and infinite tragic cycle until obliteration.

He wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen and refused to submit to the so-called fate. As long as he saw his lover, everything unexpected would not be a problem.

On the other side,

Seeing Su Jingxuan approaching quickly, Xue Zhen and the others hiding in the shadows tensed up.

Their hiding spot was a dead end, highly covert. Combined with the noisy sounds in the arena at the moment, it was challenging for ordinary people to discover them.

But unable to endure their foolish teammate’s recklessness, revealing their identity meant they couldn’t blame others for discovering them.

“You guys go first.”

Xue Zhen quickly regained his composure, motioned for his companions to leave without hesitation, and immediately activated his abilities, transforming instantly from a human into a fierce and sharp-toothed wolf.

“Boss.”

Seeing him transform into a ferocious wolf, everyone instantly understood what their boss wanted to do, anxious and worried.

This was one of the boss’s abilities: transformation. Once transformed, he gained the ability to take on different forms. The boss obviously wanted to use the wolf form to lead the enemy away.

This way, they wouldn’t be detected, and the boss wouldn’t be recognized, as no one would expect an ability user with such a bizarre ability. However, the boss going out alone to divert the enemy was too dangerous.

“Go.”

As the transformed fierce wolf, Xue Zhen lowly growled again, signaling everyone to leave immediately.

At this moment, due to the arena battle, the refugee area gathered many organized and orderly ability users. Even if they were powerful, in this temporary combat situation, they had no advantage, unable to ensure that all their comrades would escape unscathed.

But if only he went out alone and wanted to escape after diverting the enemy, it would be much easier. He had already reached level eight, just one level away from the peak of level nine abilities. Killing an eight-level ability user with so few opponents was something he could easily accomplish.

After lowly growling at his companions, Xue Zhen no longer hesitated and jumped out directly from the concealed corner.

“It’s a mutated wolf!”

The base ability user who was following Su Jingxuan in this direction saw Xue Zhen jumping out and exclaimed, directly stopping and taking a step back.

After the apocalypse, in addition to humans going through a reshuffle, survivors differentiated into ordinary people and ability users. All animals and plants also evolved. The weak who did not survive the early stages of the apocalypse were all terminated, and those who successfully survived, although rare, were the strongest of the strong. They were not to be trifled with.

At this moment, Xue Zhen transformed into a mutant wolf with a massive body, accompanied by those red eyes, indicating that this was the king among mutant wolves.

Such a mutant wolf had silently entered the base.

“Protect Young Master Bian!”

After a brief shock, the bodyguards quickly shielded Su Jingxuan, and other ability users in charge of protection immediately entered combat mode.

Although the original host had the psychic ability to control and attack invisibly, such an ability naturally had its drawbacks – it could only be used for long-range attacks and was ineffective against all mutated animals immune to psychic attacks.

Therefore, the first reaction of the bodyguards was to protect Young Master Bian. Young Master Bian was the leader’s beloved son, and they wouldn’t spare any effort to keep him safe.

The bodyguard ability users rushed forward, and Xue Zhen’s eyes turned cold. He accelerated to confront them and simultaneously emitted a loud wolf howl, instantly capturing the attention of everyone in the refugee area.

All eyes on the arena were drawn to the sound. When they turned around, they were startled and exclaimed, “Wolf, mutant wolf!” before scattering and fleeing.

People in the arena also forgot about their ongoing battle, scared pale, and ran away. They were just ordinary individuals, struggling even to defeat regular zombies, let alone mutated wolves. Faced with this situation, their only choice was to escape.

The entire refugee area instantly fell into chaos. Seeing this, the few strong men who had come with Xue Zhen from the shadows had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow the chaotic crowd.

The ability users responsible for maintaining order in the arena also ignored the disorderly crowd. They rushed over upon hearing the commotion, preparing to join forces to kill Xue Zhen in his mutated wolf form.

If they didn’t quickly kill this mutated wolf, letting it wreak havoc, the outer zone would be breached, and the horde of zombies would directly invade, leading to the complete collapse of the entire base.

“Young Master Bian, let’s head into the inner zone. Leave this mutated wolf to them.”

Seeing that other ability users were already in a stalemate with Xue Zhen, the bodyguard who had been protecting Su Jingxuan quickly grabbed him, preparing to leave to avoid any accidents.

However, Su Jingxuan didn’t move. He stared at Xue Zhen, who was surrounded by the crowd, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his lips. Then, he shook off the bodyguard’s pull, leaped over, tossed aside the ability users who were in combat, and confronted Xue Zhen himself.

“Young Master Bian!”

The ability users thrown off by Su Jingxuan were nervous and exclaimed when they saw the aggressive actions.

Su Jingxuan ignored them, heading straight towards the transformed Xue Zhen. His eyes showed neither fear nor seriousness, only a deep smile.

As the claws of the wild wolf descended, the opponent’s gaze seemed to hesitate for a moment. The trajectory aimed directly at his head suddenly changed, turning into a deliberate but mistaken attack that brushed past. The smile on Su Jingxuan’s face deepened.

According to the plot, the protagonist, Young Master Bian, was known for his powerful lightning ability, but in reality, he had another hidden ability – a peculiar power to transform into the shape of mutated animals, unknown to others.

The fact that a raging mutant wolf could make human-like expressions and intentionally show mercy in its attacks was undoubtedly a sign that the wolf was Xue Zhen.

“Everyone, leave.”

Commanding the ability users who wanted to help, Su Jingxuan no longer held back his strength, directly confronting Xue Zhen, the mutated wolf. His attacks were fierce but not fatal, clearly indicating his intention to capture.

The surrounding ability users watched with both shock and amazement. Shocked that he was engaging in a one-on-one fight with the mutated wolf, and amazed that he could hold his own.

Wasn’t Young Master Bian the worst at close combat? How could he be fighting with a mutated wolf at this moment?

In the midst of the battle, Xue Zhen also felt a sense of surprise. Apparently, he hadn’t expected that Su Jingxuan could engage in close combat with him. The young man’s moves were sharp, decisive, clearly that of a master.

Understanding this realization, Xue Zhen began to treat the battle more seriously, no longer focusing solely on causing chaos. He revealed his true strength, which, evidently, the young man’s abilities far exceeded his expectations.

Despite the ongoing fight, Xue Zhen refrained from using lethal force. If it were someone else, he would never show mercy. However, in front of this young man, for some reason, he found it difficult to be ruthless.

Especially at this moment when the opponent, despite being in battle, wore a full-face smile. His eyes, like starry orbs, stared at Xue Zhen, shining as if possessing some kind of magic, enticing him to divert his attention.

And it was precisely this slight distraction of attention that allowed the young man to gain the upper hand in their previously evenly matched struggle, climbing onto Xue Zhen’s back.

Animals were not as agile as humans, and in his current wolf form, Xue Zhen couldn’t reach the young man on his back. Especially when Su Jingxuan, once on top, clung tightly to his wolf head, as if playing a prank and refusing to let go.

If he wanted to get the person off his back, he could only violently shake or try to flip over to crush them. However, the second idea was immediately rejected and obliterated by Xue Zhen.

He absolutely couldn’t harm him; for some unknown, magical reason, he was convinced of that.

Unable to resort to such actions, Xue Zhen could only make an effort to shake the person off his back. However, he hesitated not to shake too violently, fearing that the person might get injured when thrown off.

In fact, Su Jingxuan, who was riding on his back, was also feeling uncomfortable. While the added strength from the attached soul enhanced the original host’s abilities, Xue Zhen’s own strength was not lacking. They were evenly matched, making it easy to kill each other, but capturing the other without harm was challenging.

Especially now, with Xue Zhen and him at odds, capturing each other alive became even more tricky.

Despite being his lover, who recognized him at first sight, this time he was uncooperative as if acting like a stubborn donkey. It seemed that all the promises made earlier were just to deceive ghosts.

Feeling frustrated, Su Jingxuan couldn’t help but be relieved when he sensed the somewhat careful movements beneath him, despite their seemingly agitated appearance.

Turning his thoughts, he could only resort to another strategy, pretending to be angry and scolding.

“You damn wolf, shaking so violently that I’m about to get dizzy. Just wait, today I will definitely catch you. But it’s good to be a bit fierce. Later, I’ll see if that tough-mouthed Shu Wenzhe can still be tough.”

Su Jingxuan spoke loudly, not bothering to hide it, as if venting his frustration.

As the words fell, the agitated Xue Zhen suddenly stiffened, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression. It seemed that Wen Ze was indeed in the hands of the father and son duo from the Bian family.

Discovering his distraction, Su Jingxuan felt a surge of anger, as if a jar of vinegar had been spilled, making him sour. He really wanted to grab this guy and give him a couple of bites.

Being a proactive person, he acted on his thoughts. He directly approached Xue Zhen’s wolf ears in his transformed state and bit down hard, then pretended to accidentally let go, falling to the ground.

“Hiss!”

The accidental act was intentional, but the pain from the fall was real. Su Jingxuan landed on his back, gasping in pain. It was evident that he had taken a hit.

Hearing the painful gasp, Xue Zhen immediately turned around to look. Seeing the young man seemingly injured, his face wrinkled with pain, his heart tightened.

He wanted to go over and check, but the ability user bodyguards who had noticed the situation surrounded him again. If he stayed any longer, he wouldn’t be able to leave today.

However, looking at the young man lying on the ground, he couldn’t help but feel reluctant and worried. After a moment of hesitation, he decisively picked up the person from the ground again and carried him on his back.

Seeing this, Su Jingxuan felt joy in his heart and quickly reached out to hold onto Xue Zhen’s wolf neck.

At the same time, he shouted loudly to the bodyguards below, “This wolf has a problem! Tell my dad that the wolf has a problem!”
