I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1291 Genius

"Brother, you just realized now? Haven’t you noticed that we’re already surrounded by a pack of wolves?" Bruce looked at you with a bitter smile.

"What’s going on?" Your head was full of question marks. After handing Mo’er off to the convoy and ensuring her safety, you had left.

"This is the second phase of the trial. Not sure if you’re lucky or unlucky, but after quitting the game, you ended up here."

"What’s the goal this time?" you asked.

"Find the Wolf King and kill it."

"Again with the Wolf King." You sighed, then turned to Locke, "Locke, do you have any weapons, like knives?"

"No, our tribesmen all use axes."

"You’re still using those outdated cold weapons!" Bruce took out a laser gun from his pocket. "Look, this is what a real weapon looks like."

"Wait!" Just as Bruce was about to attack a wolf, you immediately stopped him, "This will only make them more ferocious."

You turned to Tang Xiao and asked, "Do you have anything?"

Tang Xiao nodded. Like performing magic, he flipped his palm, and a white blade appeared in his hand. "This blade is made of titanium alloy; it’s extremely sturdy. Take it."

"Thanks." You expressed your gratitude quickly and dashed forward without hesitation.

"Mu Yun, you’ve got a death wish!" Bruce and Locke hurriedly tried to follow, but Tang Xiao stopped them. With a smile on his face, Tang Xiao said, "Trust him. When it comes to slaying wolves, no one is more experienced than him. The title of Wolf Slayer Warrior isn’t for nothing."

"What’s a Wolf Slayer Warrior?" Bruce asked.

"In the game, it’s said that the Wolf Slayer Warrior Mu Yun once returned with the head of the Wolf King despite being surrounded by over two hundred gray wolves. Although the characters in the game are much stronger, it shows how powerful Mu Yun is. Additionally, the gray wolves in the game are one to two times larger than ordinary wolves, with attack capabilities and speed far superior to regular wolves. That’s why this task is best suited for Mu Yun."

"I always said he’s strong, but I didn’t expect him to be THIS strong." Locke laughed stupidly. "Someday, I need to find a chance to fight him to see who’s tougher."

"Raging Moon Wave!"

You’re using a move from the game in real life!

On the vast grasslands, you and a large group of wolves were running, shifting positions swiftly, left and right. The wolves’ attacks had no effect on you. Your speed far surpassed theirs. Though there were many wolves, their strength and speed were pale compared to the gray wolves. Before long, you spotted a wolf that was about twice the size of an ordinary wolf—the Gray Wolf King.

"Well, well, so it’s you."

With a smile, you pointed your blade at the Wolf King, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The Wolf King had just realized something was wrong, but its head was already separated from its body. The entire world immediately turned dark.

"Ooowoo—!"

With the Wolf King’s death, the wolf pack did not scatter but instead began to howl collectively, as if mourning their fallen leader. Experienced as you were, you knew the pack was preparing for a collective attack.

But you weren’t afraid. Instead, you lifted the Wolf King’s head high, and with confidence, imitated the wolves’ howl in a loud voice.

"Ooowoo—!"

This imitation was surprisingly lifelike. The wolves stopped all their movements upon hearing your howl. When you shouted a second time, all of them lowered their heads, tails tucked between their legs.

"What is he doing?" Bruce’s face was once again filled with astonishment.

Tang Xiao smiled and said, "From now on, Mu Yun is the leader of this pack of wolves. In other words, he is the Wolf King."

"Tang Xiao, what should we do next?"

Your right hand still gripped the Wolf King’s severed head. You were completely numb to the sight of blood.

"Take the Wolf King’s head to The City of Ice Seal."

Tang Xiao pulled a silver, iron, square box from his pocket. He pressed a button on the box, which suddenly enlarged, big enough to fit half a small person inside. "Our original plan was to lure the Wolf King into the box and lock it inside, but you finished the task so easily."

You placed the Wolf King’s head into the box and said to Tang Xiao: "Actually, all four of us are capable of killing the Wolf King, but you three chose not to reveal your strength in this sort of situation. You wanted to play the hero and make your moves in the final critical moment. Since that’s the case, I’ll play the supporting role for once."

"You figured it out?" Tang Xiao’s face did not show any hint of surprise.

You smiled faintly and said, "Don’t think I don’t know. Any of the three of you could have easily handled the Wolf King."

With sharp eyes, you stared at Tang Xiao. "Your breathing is deep and steady, indicating your inner strength cultivation far exceeds the rest of us; Bruce is surrounded by a faint fighting energy aura. Though you hide it well, a bit of observation reveals it easily; as for Locke, I doubt anyone here could face his axe head-on."

The hidden strengths of Tang Xiao, Bruce, and Locke were exposed by you in a single sentence. The three exchanged knowing glances, their faces filled with smiles of self-confidence.

"What about you? How would you evaluate yourself?"

"Me? I’m a lucky survivor from the edge of death. The game forged me, and without it, I wouldn’t be here today. Within the game, infinite resurrection allowed me to face death countless times, to seek the source of strength through those experiences, and eventually unleash it."

"You’re self-taught?" the three asked simultaneously.

You nodded. "I’m different from you. I have no family—my only relative has already passed away. Everything I have, I’ve fought for with my own two hands."

"A genius—you’re practically a genius!"

Tang Xiao once again described you as a genius, but this time, you were displeased with the label. "You’re wrong. I’m not a genius. If I were, then based on my training method, I should be able to fight dragons by now. But I can’t. So, I’m no genius. If any one of you truly dedicated yourselves, you’d surpass me because you’re more talented and have better conditions. But I have nothing. For survival, I have no choice. I’m like a blade of grass growing out of a crack in the rock—easily trampled, but I must stretch, and I must persist to survive."

"Alright, let’s stop talking about this. The road ahead isn’t as smooth as we might hope. Surely many dangers await us. This time, the academy is determined to eliminate over half the participants. If we don’t give it our all, we’ll be left behind easily. Let’s move! If we delay, others will take all the credit," Bruce said.

"What do we do next?"
