CHAPTER 10: CHAPTER 10: SNATCHED AWAY

"Bang!"

Only hearing a muffled sound, the Flaming Blade fiercely smashed onto the safe in front of him.

The safe was instantly slashed open with a gap. Though the opening seemed not very large, it at least proved that Wu Huaiwen could crack the safe.

The people nearby watched this scene and immediately felt a joy in their hearts.

Wu Huaiwen was also somewhat delighted.

This was his first attempt using this magic and he did not expect the effect to be so good. He truly felt the extraordinary power he possessed.

"Good job, keep going. As long as we open this safe, the Blood Gold inside will be enough to buy our tickets!"

Everyone looked at the slight gap in the safe and cheered on from the side.

Upon hearing this, Wu Huaiwen wielded the Flaming Blade again and struck the safe in front of him.

As the Flaming Blade hit the safe, another muffled sound followed, and the gap on the safe grew noticeably larger.

"Great!"

Those around him looked at the growing gap in the safe and quickly praised him.

At this moment, their faces were full of joy, already anticipating the amount of Blood Gold they would obtain once the safe was opened.

Perhaps, all their tickets could be solved!

Wu Huaiwen looked at the Flaming Blade in his hand, with a bit of pride on his face.

The magic he chose was indeed powerful; it only required three points of Spiritual Power per second, and the power matched this consumption entirely.

Judging by this, he should be able to open the safe before his Spiritual Power is exhausted.

And his Spiritual Power is still remaining...

Wu Huaiwen thought about this and instinctively checked his attribute panel, seeking to ensure his Spiritual Power was sufficient, preventing it from reaching its limit without knowing.

After all, this is a matter of life and death, and should not be taken lightly.

When he glanced at his attribute panel, he was stunned the next moment.

In the Spiritual Power section, his status was healthy, showing the number of ninety-two.

But under his Life Quota section, his original number of sixty-one had reduced to fifty-three.

Seeing this, Wu Huaiwen froze.

He knew that every second he stayed here was continuously deducting his Life Value, and he was glad he hadn’t chosen a Talent Entry that reduced his life points.

Yet, why had his Life Value decreased to only fifty-three?

Why?

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and act!"

Wu Huaiwen looked at his Life Value with an extremely unpleasant face.

Meanwhile, the others beside him didn’t know why, and urged Wu Huaiwen to act quickly.

"Yes, your magic consumes Spiritual Power every second. If you don’t act, your Spiritual Power will be depleted!"

Worried that Wu Huaiwen’s Life Value would run out, the people present spoke up hastily.

Upon hearing this, Wu Huaiwen jolted and instinctively looked at the safe in front of him.

Right, what he had just done was only to use magic to open the safe.

Thus, the significant drop in his Life Quota was definitely related to the safe in front of him.

Wu Huaiwen stared fixedly at the safe in front of him, his expression suddenly tensed.

On this safe, he could clearly see countless flying tiny dots of light.

These light points were agitated each time his Flaming Blade fell.

Now, upon close inspection, many light points could be seen adhering to his skin and then disappearing.

These things hadn’t disappeared but entered his body.

"Damn!"

Wu Huaiwen finally understood why his Life Quota had suddenly dropped so much.

"What?"

The people nearby didn’t understand why Wu Huaiwen suddenly cursed.

They all looked toward him.

Seeing everyone looking over, Wu Huaiwen paused before quickly shaking his head.

"Nothing, it’s just that this safe is really difficult to open. My Flaming Blade is so powerful yet still can’t get it open after two chops."

The people were astonished upon hearing this, and then comforted him, "It’s okay, the harder it is to open, the better the contents inside are!"

"Yes, difficult to open means there are good things inside. Unlike the stuff found in convenience stores, with so few Blood Gold, who knows when we’d find it."

Wu Huaiwen nodded upon hearing this, "That is true. You all should step back a bit; this magic consumes a lot of Spiritual Power. I’ll use more strength to quickly open the safe. Don’t get hit by mistake while standing too close."

"Okay, give it all you’ve got!"

Everyone nodded immediately, eager for the safe to be opened quickly. Thus, upon hearing this, they swiftly retreated.

As they retreated several meters, Wu Huaiwen stepped forward, seemingly preparing to get closer to avoid a mishap.

While those left behind pondered how much Blood Gold would be inside the safe, they suddenly saw Wu Huaiwen grab the safe and hoist it onto his shoulder.

While the others hadn’t reacted yet, he escaped with the safe over his shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

The group noticed something amiss and quickly chased after Wu Huaiwen.

But Wu Huaiwen reached the door unchallenged and casually swung the Flaming Blade several times at the door.

After several swings, the door collapsed, directly blocking those attempting to pursue him.

"Wu Huaiwen, you dared to take the safe for yourself!"

The group roared in anger, their hearts full of rage.

No one expected that amidst their cooperation, someone would steal the safe and run.

Wasn’t this just making a wedding gown for someone else!

Outside, Wu Huaiwen heard the angry roar from behind, and he sneered.

"I wouldn’t call it taking it for myself. You guys don’t even know that opening this safe just now cost me six or seven years of life. To open it completely, the loss would certainly be over twenty years!"

"I’m wasting over twenty years to open this safe, and you think I’ll share the Blood Gold inside with you? You’re dreaming!"

After leaving that statement, Wu Huaiwen ran off quickly.

He told them that mainly to disrupt their cooperation, creating a wedge among them.

If they united against him, he feared he couldn’t withstand it.

If they blocked him at the ticket office, it would be troublesome.

Even with Blood Gold, he wouldn’t be able to buy a ticket.

After a brief silence upon hearing this, the people trapped in the room broke through the wall and rushed out. Yet, by then, Wu Huaiwen had already vanished.
