The world changed instantly.
The sky was red.
The ground was covered with bones.
Xiao Li swallowed.
This place felt dangerous.
A growl came from behind.
A wolf-like monster jumped at him.
Too fast.
Xiao Li raised his hand.
The monster suddenly stopped.
[Hidden Authority Activated.]
The monster crashed into the ground and turned into dust.
Xiao Li stared at his hand.
"That wasn't strength," he said quietly.
"That was control."
The system spoke again.
[First Kill Complete.]
[Reward: God-Tier Adaptation.]
Warm energy spread through his body.
His injuries disappeared.
Xiao Li looked forward.
More monsters were coming.
He smiled.
"This world chose the wrong person to bully."
And he walked forward.
