The mutated wild boars were not stupid; on the contrary, they were swift and agile. Ye Zhongming, being only a one-star evolver, couldn't match the speed of the Level Two mutated wild boars.
Once counterattacked, getting hit by this monster would likely leave Ye Zhongming either dead or severely injured.
The sharpness of the edge of the moon made the mutated wild boars wary as well. This weapon could easily take down their kind in an instant, causing the boars to hesitate in initiating their innate skills to attack, for fear of being slaughtered themselves if they were not careful.
The standoff between the man and the boar lasted a moment, yet neither side moved to attack.
News came through the earpiece tied to his shoulder that Gu Pan was rushing back, making Ye Zhongming realize he could not wait any longer.
He took a deep breath, and the edge of the moon shifted slightly.
This movement made the mutated wild boar tense up; it snorted a few times, producing a sound akin to a warning.
Ye Zhongming pressed his lips together and took a step forward, swinging the edge of the moon down to slice at the boar’s body.
The mutated wild boar nimbly jumped aside, narrowly avoiding the blade's flash.
The wild boar felt a stirring; it realized that although the man’s weapon was exceptionally sharp, his evolution level did not allow him to fully utilize the weapon's potential.
Ye Zhongming swung again, this time aiming for the boar's other side.
Once again, the attack was easily dodged.
The boar lowered its head slightly, contemplating whether to initiate an offensive.
Suddenly, a noise came from behind. Before the boar could react, half a wall came crashing down, smashing it directly into the rubble.
A massive sense of crisis overwhelmed it. Although the half-wall couldn’t hurt it, the obstructed view made the boar realize that the man’s attack must have arrived.
It charged to the side.
With this speed, that human wouldn’t be able to keep up!
But just as the boar thought this, it heard the human softly utter three words, and its body was sliced open. In its dying moments, it couldn't fathom what had occurred.
The three words spoken by Ye Zhongming were—blue ocean slash.
This was a career skill within the radiant seal blade master's second branch.
He didn’t use the powerful ‘seal: flame blade’; although this skill would have certainly killed the Level Two mutated wild boar instantly, it consumed too much mental energy, potentially affecting his subsequent plans and risking the entire mission.
Thus, he opted for blue ocean slash, a skill of the blade master branch.
While this skill still consumed dozens of points of mental energy, it was within an acceptable range, and importantly, blue ocean slash allowed for three quick strikes, preventing the boar from evading.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Ye Zhongming quickly cleaned up the battlefield, reported over the earpiece, and left the breeding farm.

Mo Ye quietly crouched by the window, her gray-grade rifle aimed at the street outside.
This was a necessary route leading to the breeding farm.
There was a rustling behind her, and Liang Chuyin arrived by her side, quickly crouching down.
“Brother Ye had success.” Liang Chuyin looked at the street, exclaiming, “That’s impressive! He took on three Level Twos and four Level Ones all by himself, and it only took him a few minutes.”
“It’s not that he’s impressive; it’s you who’s infatuated.”
Park Soo-young, who had been lurking nearby, teased the internet celebrity girl from a distance.
The two girls shared a good relationship, so there was little hesitation in their banter.
“Who was it that said when surrounded by Wang Ding, all they could think of was Brother Ye?” The internet celebrity girl immediately retaliated, making Teacher Park’s face turn slightly red.
“I didn’t mean it that way.” Teacher Park, unskilled in verbal sparring, awkwardly explained, “Anyway, it’s not the same meaning as yours; I just hoped he would appear to save me.”
