He might be able to challenge an Earth Rank expert if he added on his spiritual energy.
“Such powerful strength and my spiritual energy seem to have broken through to Level 5 Supernal Rank.”

William clenched his fist, feeling the powerful strength in his body. His eyes flashed with excitement.
The humans were known for preparing to activate their Endowed Supernatural Abilities before the age of eighteen, learning all kinds of things, including fighting and understanding the history of the development of monsters.
These were all Spiritual Rank. They were still essentially ordinary people at that stage, but they were strong ordinary people after training.
Everything changed after awakening their Endowed Supernatural Ability. There was also spiritual energy, with the appearance of Endowed Supernatural Ability, which could continuously wash away the body and obtain greater strength. That kind of strength was something that ordinary people could never achieve in their lifetime of training.
The Level 1 Supernal Rank had the strength of a thousand catties. The strength would increase by a thousand catties with each level. That was the change brought about by spiritual energy.
And the difference in the Endowed Supernatural Ability would also directly cause each person’s starting point to be different.
Some of the Endowed Supernatural Abilities with extremely high levels could reach Level 9 Supernal Rank just after awakening the Endowed Supernatural Ability. Their body had the strength of ten thousand catties, while some of the F-Class Endowed Supernatural Abilities could only reach Level 1 Supernal Rank after awakening.

Just like William’s Lizard Bloodline, which didn’t bring much change before after awakening.

Moreover, the higher the level, the easier it was to advance. On the other hand, it was extremely difficult for those with lower levels to advance.
William had only fused with the Ancient Dragon God Bloodline at the moment, but he had already advanced from Level 1 Supernal Rank to Level 5 Supernal Rank. Such rapid advancement made William both happy and surprised.
William could feel that not only did his strength increase, but his potential also far surpassed what he had before after fusing the ancient Dragon God Bloodline. He even had a better grasp of spiritual energy. He could predict that his cultivation would be smoother in the future.
“As expected of a bloodline of SS-Class. My spiritual energy is only at Level 5, but I can easily deal with even Supernal Rank, who was at the peak level. I could say that I am invincible among those of the same level.”

William said excitedly. He suddenly heard a dense sound just as he was about to pack his things and leave.
He looked in the direction of the sound. At the junction of the oasis and the desert, he saw more than a hundred traces of Five-Legged Flame Lizards passing through.
Then, the traces approached the oasis. The Five-Legged Flame Lizards jumped out from the ground. The red moon shone in their eyes, making them look particularly terrifying.
Beast tides!
William was shocked upon seeing a large group of Five-Legged Flame Lizards approaching fast, and even a few of the leaders of the race who were big and scary. He could not help but sigh at his bad luck to have encountered a monster beast tide.
There were not one or two Five-Legged Flame Lizards here, but thousands of Five-Legged Flame Lizards. The smallest of them was about a meter long. They were like a troop of war chariots, rolling up waves of sand when they gathered.
A large number of Five-Legged Flame Lizards seemed to be frightened at the moment. They let out terrifying sounds and ran toward the oasis, directly ignoring William.
That made him stunned. He could easily kill a few Five-Legged Flame Lizards now. But he still didn’t have the confidence to face so many Five-Legged Flame Lizards even if dozens of them weren’t difficult for him to kill.
After all, he was not an Earth Rank expert who could not be exhausted just by stepping on the Earth to gain energy. There were thousands of them, and they could directly submerge him. He might be exhausted to death.
Such things had happened before. The beast tide had devoured many adventure teams. No one could run from the beast tide in the wilderness.
Moreover, this world had never been safe, whether it was the wilderness or the fortress.
Although humans had built a fortress, the defense of the fortress was not strict. Some monsters that could conceal themselves would still enter the fortress and kill when night fell.
The humans could only collect corpses when they noticed the attack.
Therefore, the people in the fortress would guard their homes when night fell in case they were attacked by monsters.
The adventurer team was like the bridge connecting the fortress and the wilderness, allowing humans to understand the monsters in the wilderness and explore the wilderness.
Basically, the wilderness near the fortress would be cleaned up by the army in the fortress, and then further cleaned up by the adventurer team. It was a very safe area. The number and level of monsters were low, but there was still the possibility of an external beast tide.
The monsters in the beast tide would eat anyone they saw and would not let anyone escape.
But the Five-Legged Flame Lizards seemed to have not seen him this time, which made him very curious. The Five-Legged Flame Lizards ran away as if they were running away from something that was chasing them.
That made William feels lucky, but he also had some doubts. Why would the Five-Legged Flame Lizards, who liked to hide in the desert, come to the oasis in groups? Could it be that some powerful monsters had appeared in the depths of the desert?

Thinking of that, William felt that this place was getting more and more dangerous, and he had to leave quickly.
It would be dangerous then if he encountered a powerful monster.
Just as he was about to leave, a Five-Legged Flame Lizard was squeezed out of the group. And it rushed toward William with its for legs.
William reached behind his back and pulled out an arrow. He looked at the Five-Legged Flame Lizard that was getting closer and closer, watching the distance between them shortened to twenty-five meters.
William used his Endowed Supernatural Ability [Wind Control], and let go of the bowstring. The strong wind blowing from behind William brought along the arrow, and the arrow’s speed became faster and faster. Even the Five-Legged Flame Lizard, with its keen senses, could not catch the arrow.
William could control the speed and direction of the wind within 25 meters.

The arrow shot into the Five-Legged Flame Lizard’s eyes. The wind changed direction, and the arrow spun, crushing the Five-Legged Flame Lizard’s brain before it could cry out. The Five-Legged Flame Lizard died on the spot.
William could crush the brain of the Five-Legged Flame Lizard now with a shot from the arrow, which previously required a combination of traps and continuous shots to kill.
He could even feel that he did not even need to use [Wind Control] to crush its head.
William looked at the dead Five-Legged Flame Lizard and used the system to steal a [Listening in the Wind] ability.
Although he now had the leveled up [Wind Control], as a lower-ranked Endowed Supernatural Ability, he should collect more [Listening in the Wind]. He might even be able to use them to increase his Wind Affinity.
Moreover, the skin of the Five-Legged Flame Lizard was not cheap in the fortress. Many young ladies from noble families liked the bags made of skins with strange patterns.
William looked at the group of Five-Legged Flame Lizards and suddenly smiled.
He was no longer the newbie who had risked his life to kill a Five-Legged Flame Lizard.
Moreover, these Five-Legged Flame Lizards were monsters living in groups. Very few of them were wandering alone in the past. He could be easily discovered and besieged, following them to their nest. Therefore, that was a great opportunity to kill some of the Five-Legged Flame Lizards.
William no longer hesitated. He used a few pieces of wood to separate some of the Five-Legged Flame Lizards from the group and created a few narrow passages. There would be Five-Legged Flame Lizards that were squeezed out of the group occasionally, and William would kill them.
