NOVEL WEB Chapter 299: The Suspicious Dark Werewolf Class
Queldorei World did indeed have Dark Werewolves, a fact that was known long ago.
Because Derek Wolf, member number 031 of the Creator Organization, had obtained the Dark Wolfman Class from the Elf World.
This class is very special and belongs to the Bloodline Class.
After obtaining the Dark Wolfman Class, one could transform into a Dark Werewolf form, greatly enhancing combat power.
In the Dark Werewolf form, the strength, agility, and constitution attributes are all much higher than the original form, with the increase exceeding 30%.
Dark Werewolves also have an extremely high self-healing ability; even penetrating wounds can heal at a visibly fast rate.
Not only that, but the mane that grows on a Dark Werewolf also provides strong defense.
Therefore, this class is very powerful.
Especially in close combat, it is remarkably strong.
In short, within the Second Transition Classes, Dark Werewolves rank in the first tier of combat power.
This is also the main reason the Creator Organization invited Derek Wolf to join, and the other reason, naturally, was to study his self-healing ability.
After the battle in Kolos City ended, the Elf Clan investigated the Space Corridor Teleportation Gate incident and unexpectedly traced it back to the Dark Werewolves.
This came as a bit of a surprise to Lu Heng.
Although Dark Werewolves indeed existed in the Queldorei World, they had never appeared during the entire Kolos City battle.
Could it be that Dark Werewolves had collaborated with Bloodline Demons, infiltrating Kolos City to help the Bloodline Clan open the teleportation gate?
This possibility did exist, after all, the relationship between Dark Werewolves and the Elf Clan wasn't friendly.
However, there was another possibility that among humans, there might be a second Superpower User who had acquired the Dark Wolfman Class.
Since there was already one Superpower User with a Dark Wolfman Class among humans, a second one could also emerge.
Especially for those who knew about this class, they might specifically go to the Dark Wolfman Territory to obtain it.
Transforming into a Dark Werewolf form does look a bit terrifying.
However, one could revert to human form outside of combat, so this aspect wouldn't deter Superpower Users from choosing this class.
As for who specifically went to the Dark Wolfman Territory to obtain the class, that would be hard to investigate.
After all, there were so many human Superpower Users summoned; some even landed directly in the Dark Wolfman Territory upon arrival.
Lu Heng remembered something; during the stage in the Abyss Battlefield, when he first met Chen Zihang, Wu Weibing, and the others, they mentioned that upon their arrival, they found themselves in the Dark Wolfman Territory and it took them several days to get out.
Perhaps among them, someone had obtained the Dark Wolfman Class.
Of course, it could also be other Superpower Users.
This clue would need to be pursued after returning and asking Chen Zihang and the others.
...
After learning of this incident, Lu Heng and his companion went to see Terres.
They had fought side by side three months prior, so Terres showed much more warmth upon seeing Lu Heng again than when they first met.
Lu Heng stood beside the training field, watching Terres train the Elf Guard.
After finishing the training, Terres walked over, waving his hand and said, "You've come to steal my swordsmanship again."
Lu Heng shrugged and replied, "May I?"
Terres praised, "You are the second fastest person I've seen practicing the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash."
"Who's the fastest?" Lu Heng asked, though he had already guessed who it was.
"Of course, it's Orelana." When Terres mentioned the Elf Queen's name, his tone changed.
"I want to see the Flying Dragon Hunting Sky again." Lu Heng didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.
Terres thought for a moment and said, "You may, but I have a request."
"Go ahead."
"Show them the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash," Terres extended his hand, pointing to the Elf Warriors on the training field.
Elf Guard Captain Eric, upon hearing this, immediately said with excitement, "Yes, we also want to learn Lord Terres's swordsmanship."
"No problem," Lu Heng agreed with a nod.
That being said, Terres's swordsmanship was not suitable for everyone, and not everyone could learn it just by studying.
After that, the Elf Guard brought over more than a dozen training dummies.
These dummies were made from the wood of the Queldorei World, which were extremely hard.
Once the dummies were prepared, Lu Heng began to gather his strength, breaking the sound barrier with a sprint and unleashing the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash.
The howling wind whipped up, the wind dragon formed and swept up the training dummies into the sky.
Just then.
Terres moved swiftly, following up with the second move of the swordsmanship, the ultimate skill Flying Dragon Hunting Sky.
Lu Heng once again observed Terres's Flying Dragon Hunting Sky at close range, a glint flashed in his eyes, and suddenly, he had a realization.
[Observing swordsmanship Flying Dragon Hunting Sky, Training Level +1]
From that day on, Lu Heng began practicing Flying Dragon Hunting Sky in Kolos City.
Occasionally, he would demonstrate the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash to the Elf Guard, and the proficiency of both his sword technique secrets was improving.
Su Muyu had stayed in Kolos City for a few days and learned several engraving techniques from an Advanced Rune Master in the Gem Workshop.
Five days later, Lu Heng felt that he had almost fully grasped the Flying Dragon Hunting Sky, and what remained was to continue practicing.
Thus, the two of them bid farewell to Terres, leaving Kolos City and returning to Moonshadow Forest.
Su Muyu entered the Ancient Tree Space to consult the Knowledge Ancient Tree on natural magic, and along the way, she gained an understanding of the Abyss.
Lu Heng continued to train the Flying Dragon Hunting Sky in Moonshadow Forest. His proficiency kept increasing, and he was not far from mastering it.
The two stayed in Moonshadow Forest for ten days.
On the evening of the tenth day.
Lu Heng faced the afterglow of the setting sun and once again struck out with the Flying Dragon Hunting Sky.
The sword light swept across, severing a five-meter-wide stone pillar.
The stone pillar collapsed with a crash, and the sword mark left a smooth, even cut.
At the moment of his strike, Lu Heng immediately felt something different, as if he had broken through the critical point of the sword technique and reached a higher realm.
Sure enough, a data prompt appeared.
[Train in Flying Dragon Hunting Sky, proficiency +1]
[Training brings enlightenment, martial skill "Flying Dragon Hunting Sky" learned.]
[Physical attributes improved through training, Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1, Constitution +0.1.]
Lu Heng checked his attribute panel and saw that there had been a change in the martial skill section.
[Martial Skill: Wind Dragon Breathless Slash LV1, Flying Dragon Hunting Sky LV1]
Once mastered, the Flying Dragon Hunting Sky was much more powerful than the half-baked version, and it could sever a five-meter-wide stone pillar without any skill enhancements.
After mastering Flying Dragon Hunting Sky, Lu Heng waited for Su Muyu to come out, and after discussing, they decided to go home.
Before leaving, they went to say farewell to Seren, then ended their visit to Quel'dorei World and teleported back to Blue Star.
Teleported back into the training room at Qionghua Tianglu Lake, he checked the time and saw that only a day and a half had passed.
...
This trip to the Elf World, Lu Heng had brought back some doubts that needed investigation.
So, the next day Lu Heng sought out Chen Zihang, to inquire about the Dark Werewolf Territory.
"I remember you said during our time in Kolos City that you had teleported into the Dark Werewolf's Territory," he recalled.
Chen Zihang nodded and replied, "Yes, what about it?"
Since Lu Heng wasn't sure if anyone among them had obtained the Dark Werewolf Class, he didn't immediately share the clues he had.
Because if someone among them had achieved the Dark Werewolf Class, then that person was likely the Traitor.
Lu Heng continued to ask, "I found some clues and wanted to confirm something. What did you experience in the Dark Werewolf Territory? Did anyone obtain the Dark Werewolf Bloodline?"
Chen Zihang thought for a moment and shook his head, responding, "I don't think so. None of us achieved the Dark Werewolf Class. If someone had, I should know about it."
Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Think about it carefully. If someone achieved the Dark Werewolf Class, that person might be the Traitor."
Chen Zihang frowned, immediately remembering something, and asked, "Are you investigating the Bloodline Clan teleportation gate incident?"
Lu Heng nodded and replied, "Right, I'll tell you straight. I have a space anchor point to the Elf World, so I made a trip there. The Elves discovered a few bodies of Elf Guards under the collapsed structures, with claw marks left by beasts on them.
"But typical beasts wouldn't be a match for an Elf Guard, and the Elves have already checked their Druids and ruled them out of suspicion.
"The evidence eventually pointed most likely to the Dark Werewolf, and the place where you teleported to was, indeed, the Dark Werewolf's Territory.
"Of course, I'm not suspecting you, but this is definitely something that needs investigation.
"If it wasn't you, then try to recall if you saw any other Superpower Users in the Dark Werewolf Territory."
Chen Zihang furrowed his brow, answering, "I remember that in the Dark Werewolf Territory, I did indeed see a few Superpower Users from Fusang. Whether they achieved the Dark Werewolf Class, I do not know.
"Besides, I was mostly with Wu Weibing and them, and I don't believe they are likely to turn into Dark Werewolves.
"Moreover, if they had turned into Dark Werewolves, they would surely have to report it. Military sequence can't hide such information."
Lu Heng nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Then what about Zhuo Hongjun? Do you think he's suspicious?"
Chen Zihang thought seriously for a moment before shaking his head and replying, "I don't think it's likely. Besides, he has had the Second Transition Class for a long time. Would he give up his original Class for the Dark Werewolf Class?"
That was also the reason Lu Heng initially ruled out Zhuo Hongjun as a suspect.
Generally, Power Users wouldn't give up their current Class because they discovered a new Class Source Material.
Once a Class fusion is complete, the Source Material cannot be re-extracted.
That means giving up the current Class would require fighting for Source Material again, which is a very risky business.
Moreover, for someone like Zhuo Hongjun, his original Second Transition Class was meticulously selected by his family for its strong combat power, and he wouldn't just give it up.
Of course, this was thinking in a conventional sense.
If Zhuo Hongjun suddenly had a lapse in judgement and decided to abandon his Second Transition Class to become a Dark Werewolf, that possibility existed.
So Lu Heng continued to question: "Are you sure Zhuo Hongjun hasn't changed his Class?"
Chen Zihang frowned again, slowly shaking his head as he answered, "I... I'm not sure about that. I'm not close with Zhuo Hongjun. And you are the Honorary Group Leader of Dragon Power, you are his superior. Why not summon him directly to see you?"
