Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 824: Chapter 829: Arriving Just in Time (Part 2)

Zhou Yan and Avril Jolie were soaking in the pool, occasionally submerging their heads completely, as both had entirely ignored the surrounding sounds.

After all, as soon as they entered the pool, they could clearly feel its healing and restorative powers, especially Zhou Yan, who possessed top-tier special forces strength and could feel her body’s strength continuously enhancing.

The increase in strength, for her, meant an enhancement in power.

It seemed that just soaking a little longer would allow her to break through to the Soldier King Realm.

This was something she had never dared to imagine before.

Now, even if Lin Xi walked over, she probably wouldn’t care much.

After a while, she felt like a burden had been lifted off her entire body, with dramatic changes occurring in her ears, eyesight, and strength.

"Did I just break through to Soldier King?" Zhou Yan was incredulous, as she realized her current power level was on a completely different tier than before.

Before, she had suspected that Lin Xi’s insistence on their bathing had some ulterior motive.

But ever since she saw Avril Jolie extend her hand into the water and pull it out, she felt that the water was indeed unusual.

It was only now that she truly understood the power of the pool.

Simultaneously, she thought that if outsiders knew about this pool, they would probably scramble over each other to get to it.

After all, the effects were simply astounding!

The ability to elevate someone to Soldier King Realm in just a few minutes, right after they attained top-tier special forces status—it was downright defying nature!

What she didn’t know was that remnants of Dragon Marrow energy still lingered within her, otherwise the pool wouldn’t have achieved such results.

Avril Jolie, someone without martial prowess, also felt the changes in Zhou Yan, realizing that Zhou Yan had received astounding benefits and felt envious.

Though she was envious, she wasn’t jealous.

She too had received amazing benefits; not only were all the scars on her body completely removed without a trace, but her skin pores shrunk, leaving her skin finer, smoother, and remarkably more elastic.

It was like being reborn.

This benefit was something words could hardly describe.

While the two were in a state of ecstatic joy, they didn’t notice two large wolves, as big as adult cattle, were less than six meters away!

And despite their terrifying size, each step the wolves took made no sound, like they were stepping on silent ground.

However, as Zhou Yan had just broken through to Soldier King Realm, her perception of the surroundings dramatically improved, so once she calmly collected herself, she immediately sensed a faint yet looming danger.

"Hmm?"

She suddenly turned her head toward the source of danger, and upon seeing it, her face turned deathly pale with fright.

Because the two enormous wolves were already pouncing toward them from six meters away.

Those were the largest wolves she had ever seen in her life.

Moreover, their mouths were wide open in a terrifying, ferocious gulp, seemingly about to swallow them whole.

"Ow!" Two loud howls followed, the kind that seemed to pierce their eardrums.

Avril Jolie, who had her back turned to the wolves, nearly fainted from fear upon hearing the sound.

As she prepared to look back, Zhou Yan was already grabbing her by the waist, instantly darting out of the pool and heading in Lin Xi’s direction.

At the same time, she realized that while they were in the pool moments ago, the wolves could have easily attacked them but hadn’t.

This wasn’t because the wolves were merciful; they simply didn’t want to destroy the pool.

As Zhou Yan rushed forward, she glanced back and saw the two massive wolves bypassed the pool and started pursuing them from the side.

Clearly, she was right.

The pool likely had special significance to them; otherwise, they wouldn’t act this way.

"Damn it!" While carrying Avril Jolie, Zhou Yan’s speed was notably reduced.

And the two giant wolves behind were moving at twice her speed.

Without a doubt, they would catch up in mere seconds.

Considering their massive size, viciousness, and the aura they emitted, Zhou Yan privately assessed that she wasn’t a match for them.

"Where’s that bastard Lin Xi?" she cursed involuntarily.

Wasn’t he close by?

Why hasn’t he shown up yet?

Why couldn’t he stay a bit closer to them?

What she hadn’t considered was that it was them who wanted Lin Xi to stay as far away as possible.

At this moment, Avril Jolie also noticed the two huge wolves behind them, and her face turned ashen.

In her mind, could wolves grow to such size?

How could it be? Was she hallucinating?

After rubbing her eyes, she confirmed it was indeed true.

Just as the two wolves were about to bite the two women, just as Zhou Yan prepared to toss Avril Jolie away and fight the wolves to the death, a shadow appeared instantly between them, as if teleporting.

A loud "bang!" sound followed as one of the ferocious wolves was hurled backward at high speed, while the other wolf showed a hint of surprise in its eyes, immediately moving aside and retreating toward its companion that had just been knocked away.

The wolf that had crashed to the ground seemed to momentarily freeze, lying motionless.

It only got up with a full-body shake after its companion arrived, seemingly unfazed by the previous hit.

At this point, both wolves cast wary eyes upon the man who had suddenly appeared!

Yes, this man was Lin Xi.

In reality, when the giant wolves pounced toward the two women, he had already sensed the commotion.

But everything happened just too quickly!

Thankfully, he made it in time!

Otherwise, unimaginable consequences would have ensued.

After all, the punch he just threw would be fatal even to an Advanced Soldier King!

Yet the wolf seemed completely unscathed???

This was somewhat alarming!

Of course, it wasn’t because the wolves were exceptionally powerful; their strength was actually on par with an Advanced Soldier King.

The reason his punch caused little harm was because their physical toughness was exceedingly high, and the punch felt like hitting an iron plate.

"You two should step back a bit!" Lin Xi glanced at the two women, speaking somewhat fondly and reluctantly.

At this point, Zhou Yan had already freed Avril Jolie, and the two seemed unaware of their own state.

Upon hearing Lin Xi’s words, they nodded and urged Lin Xi to be cautious as they retreated several steps.

Without further words, Lin Xi advanced straight toward the two giant wolves.

Initially, the wolves were cautious of Lin Xi, but seeing his approach, their sense of propriety seemed provoked, quickly putting them in a furious state, their fur bristling threateningly.

After a few more skyward "ow" cries, they lunged at Lin Xi from both sides.

Lin Xi’s expression remained unchanged; no matter how tough or formidable their defense was, if one punch couldn’t inflict harm, then try multiple punches.

After all, their strength was only at the Advanced Soldier King level.

Thus, a fierce melee between one man and two wolves ensued instantly!

At ten meters away, Zhou Yan and Avril Jolie watched anxiously, fearing Lin Xi might inadvertently be caught by a claw, especially since the wolves’ claws were as frighteningly sharp, like Wolverine’s.
