Chapter Forty: Thank you for the treat, I'm going to eat now.

After Loya walked away, he activated his [Elementary Wizardry Inscription: Cloak of Concealment] to conceal his aura and presence.

Leaving Emerald Lake Island, we arrived in a wider world, grasping boundless freedom.

But unexpected factors have also increased.

In this unfamiliar world, Loya must be careful and not be arrogant and unruly, attracting unwanted attention.

Otherwise, if he attracts a powerful expert he can't handle, wouldn't that be disastrous?

Of course, with Loya's current strength, there's no need for him to become a cowardly coward.

Even if he is not invincible, he is still capable of solitary conquest.

However, it is still possible to simply protect oneself.

Before we knew it, dawn had broken.

Gentle sunlight emerges from the east.

The original darkness was forcibly dispelled by the light.

Although it hadn't been long, Koloa had already traveled over a hundred miles.

This was before he even went all out. If he really ran at full speed, traveling 500 li at night wouldn't be too difficult for him.

However, this would consume a lot of his energy and weaken his combat power.

Now that he's all alone, he can't afford to be weak. Danger lurks everywhere, and if an enemy takes advantage of his weakness, wouldn't he suffer a terrible and unjust death?

…

Light, it is what all beings yearn for.

Even though the world is still the same as before, once it gets light, all living beings will involuntarily feel more secure.

Loya was no exception.

"Next, let's eat something to fill our stomachs."

Loya stopped and turned to look around.

Despite his height and weight, he is imposing and domineering.

In reality, he is still a toddler.

During this period, he cannot be too tired or hungry.

Otherwise, it would be very detrimental to his development.

The place he is in now is very primitive.

It's just an ordinary mountain valley.

The place is full of jumbled rocks and lush green plants.

Some small animals, little monsters, dart about in the shade of the trees.

"I sensed the fluctuation of magic."

Soon, Loya seemed to have discovered something, and he turned and rushed up the mountain to his right.

"Gagaga," came a muffled, hoarse cry from the mountaintop when he reached the halfway point.

"It sounds like the voice of a violent, muscular duck."

"This magical beast is not weak. Once it reaches adulthood, it will basically be at least at the fifth level of the Bronze Realm."

Loya recognized the beast by its sounds and guessed its identity. He quickened his pace.

However, although he was "anxious," his movements were not rough; on the contrary, they were gentle and produced very little noise.

"Bang bang bang".

At the top of the mountain, there is a cozy giant nest made of branches and weeds.

A large, orange-yellow duck, over three meters tall and muscular but with sparse feathers, stood guard at the entrance to its nest, glaring angrily at a large, equally strong and muscular rabbit in front of it.

Inside the giant nest, there was a fat duck lying listlessly, motionless.

The standoff between the muscular duck and the muscular rabbit grew increasingly heated.

Soon, Muscle Rabbit couldn't contain himself any longer. He glanced at the fat duck in the giant nest, then darted over and punched Muscle Duck in the big beak.

"Quack!" The muscular duck suddenly widened its eyes, raised its head and puffed out its chest, dodged a punch, used its chest as a shield, and charged forward to meet the punch head-on.

Two muscular monsters collided, producing a loud, muffled thud.

The two sides seemed evenly matched, and each took a step back.

But in the next instant, the two rushed forward again and became entangled.

They punched and kicked, using their muscles as weapons, attacking with all their might.

Dust billowed, and pebbles on the ground were propelled and launched into the air.

"Hey, thank you for loosening your muscles and bones, making yourself even more delicious." Suddenly, a playful voice came.

The towering Loya reached the summit.

The muscular duck and muscular rabbit, who were locked in fierce combat, quickly separated and looked at Loya with perfect understanding.

"Quack quack quack," the muscular duck was very hostile to these uninvited guests who had broken into its home.

In addition, although Loya is tall, his true cultivation level is only Bronze Level 1, which is not considered strong.

Without hesitation, Muscle Duck rushed towards Loya immediately.

Loya remained motionless, letting the muscular duck perform its moves.

Muscle Rabbit looked at Loya suspiciously, not understanding why this big guy wasn't making a move.

The next instant, the muscular duck crashed headfirst into Loya's stomach.

"Quack!" Muscle Duck squealed, staggering to the ground. He felt as if he had crashed into a steel wall, the impact making his head buzz.

"What a cutie. Since you're so enthusiastic, I won't stand on ceremony." Loya smiled.

Innate Bloodline Skill: [Blazing Shockwave]

Loya used his claws as knives to slash.

Blazing flames erupted from the claws, slicing across the muscular duck's neck.

With a "plop," its neck snapped, and it fell to the ground. A large amount of duck blood sprayed out, staining the earth red.

"Squeak." The muscular rabbit trembled in fright; he hadn't expected Loya to be so fierce. A strong sense of fear welled up inside him. He instinctively turned and fled.

"Hey, hey, hey, you've had enough exercise, so there's no need to keep going." Loya quickly stopped him, spitting out a beam of light that instantly struck the muscle rabbit's back.

Innate bloodline skill: [Heat Breath].

"Quack quack." Inside the giant nest, the fat duck struggled to raise its head, glanced at the dead muscle duck, and then closed its eyes again.

I don't know what happened, but then it stopped breathing altogether.

"Thank you for the meal, I'm going to eat now."

Loya bent down, grabbed the muscular duck, and began to tear into it.

In addition, he deliberately dismembered certain parts of the muscular duck and preserved them.

"The essence of Muscle Duck and Muscle Rabbit is the main ingredient for [Primary Wizard Inscription: Muscle Might]".

"This inscription is not bad."

Loya's brain. I don't know how it's structured.

This is just a meal, and they've already thought of an inscription to increase their strength.

About half an hour later, Loya descended the mountain with a contented expression.

Now that he had eaten and drunk his fill, he was much stronger and had clearly surpassed four meters in height.

This time, it's not the amplification from using the stacked [Iron Body] as before, but the effect of the brand new [Primary Wizard Inscription: Muscular Might].

Loya continued on his journey.

During his journey, he encountered all sorts of new things.

Some of them were very useful to him.

As for the useless ones, they will inevitably be ignored.

Two more runes appeared on his body without him even noticing. They were [Primary Rune: Sharpness], which would enhance his attack power.

[Basic Inscription: Stealth].

This will increase his ability to hide.

Finally, the number of other existing inscriptions increased.

Especially the [Basic-level Inscription: Gluttony], it's so densely packed, it almost covers every inch of Loya's body.

The effects of such excessive eating are truly astonishing.

Loya was practically turning into a Godzilla-like "little black hole." Wherever he went, everything was swallowed up and turned into nutrients for his growth.

It got dark very quickly.

A wonderful thing has happened.

His level actually increased by one.

Now, he has become a Bronze Level 2 extraordinary being.

Although it was only a small increase of one level, and the increase in strength wasn't exaggerated, it was a good start.

Because the period of weakness is the period of fastest growth.

It's easy to imagine just how rapid Loya's growth and advancement will be.
