Chapter 580

A large group of turtleback wolves appears ahead of Pan Ping and Chang Biao, who never thought that Fang Yuan controls this round. They kill wolves at first with the upper hand, but then other species and mutated groups arrive, with thousand wolf kings and myriad wolf kings. Unable to endure, they agree to retreat, since Chang Biao has probed that the ninetieth round holds both a maze and wolf groups. Pan Ping vows to humiliate Fang Yuan, whom he calls Wolf King, one day. Then the two find they cannot leave. ^{ch. 580}

Having no Giant Sun bloodline, they entered on precious guest tokens that cost many resources each time, and these let them leave with a thought. This floor is under Fang Yuan’s control, and his five-edge owner token is many times more powerful than a guest token. Pan Ping has thirty percent of his primeval essence left and Chang Biao fifty. Fang Yuan knows every corner of the maze, and he mobilizes the wolf groups with extreme smoothness, cutting off every attempt to break out. ^{ch. 580}

Pan Ping uses almost all his primeval essence to activate the killer move six arm heavenly zombie king, turns into an eight armed zombie, and inflicts severe losses on the wolves. Chang Biao follows behind to save his strength. When Pan Ping is thoroughly exhausted, Chang Biao uses the move too, and the situation stabilizes. After seven or eight days both are completely exhausted, until they see a large pile of primeval stones. They fight through and recover, and Chang Biao concludes that the round tests endurance. ^{ch. 580}

Irrecoverable zombie speckles grow on their bodies unnoticed as they use the move more often. They do not know that Fang Yuan arranged the stone hill on purpose to make them use the move more and continue his experiment. They grow dependent on the move and rarely use their own methods. When the speckles become dense and seriously affect them, it is too late. ^{ch. 580}

Pan Ping is the first to die, and before he does he curses Fang Yuan. Several days later Chang Biao also dies of exhaustion in the battle, mumbling about the exit. His regrets are the Wolf Killing Alliance, only just being set up, the scheme to force Ma Ying Jie to join, only just begun, and above all his son Chang Ji You. He never dared admit Chang Ji You publicly. To cover it further he adopted several orphans, Chang Li among them. His last thought is that he really wanted to hear his son call him father. ^{ch. 580}

Fang Yuan appears beside Chang Biao’s corpse and names accumulated zombie energy as the main reason for the death, after two thousand three hundred and eleven activations. He smiles, since the experiment has attained its purpose, but he finds a problem. Even when every use stays within a time limit, more use builds up more zombie energy until the Gu Master dies. Both Pan Ping and Chang Biao died of this. He stores the Gu worms from their corpses in his storage pouch, among them Chang Biao’s excellent wind path set, while of Pan Ping’s only the sole blade Gu has some collection value. ^{ch. 580}

Several days later, in a study, Fang Yuan reads an east window Gu. He bought it from treasure yellow heaven with all his small savings of immortal essence stones. It records a fairly intact wisdom path inheritance of fourteen Gu, six touching on intent: hostile, sharp, reckless, changing, cold and chaotic intent Gu, the first three of which condense will. Wisdom path, the most mysterious of the Gu Master paths, originated from Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, has existed since the Remote Antiquity Era, and though few cultivate it, has never declined. Hostile intent is fierce as fire but somewhat rigid and short-lived, sharp intent cuts like swords and spears yet yields to soft tactics and is hard to restore, and reckless intent spreads freely but resists control. He studies these intents to guard against the enormous hidden danger in his mind, Mo Yao’s will, but finds that hers matches none of the three. It is mysterious like the sea, hidden and indistinct, and knowing little of wisdom path or her trump cards, he cannot easily use his methods against it. ^{ch. 580}

Fang Yuan resolves to bear with Mo Yao’s will for now, keep her thinking until she wears herself down, and use her to help explore True Yang Building. As he thinks this, her will appears in his mind, weak and exhausted. She says the six arm heavenly zombie king is truly perfected. Fang Yuan is inwardly happy, and his hidden happiness turns to exultation as he looks at the modified killer move. ^{ch. 580}
