A Peacock Husband of Five Princesses by day, a Noble Assassin by Night-Chapter 232
He woke up to the scent of grass and medicine.
The first thing he saw was Shang Jiao sitting beside him, arms crossed, her vine armor dissolving into green smoke.
"How do you feel?"
Her voice was softer than usual.
Tianyu blinked around the temporary field tent. His limbs trembled as he tried to sit up.
"I feel… sore. Really tired… but I'm okay."
He downed the warm water she handed him. Shang Jiao sighed.
"You're lucky you're just tired. First time armor transformation—and you go fight a Bronze-level beast head-on. Nobody else would be crazy enough to try that."
Her tone was scolding, but her eyes were glowing with admiration.
"When I was your age, if I saw a Bronze-level beast, I'd run in the opposite direction," she muttered.
*
A deep, hearty voice came from the entrance of the tent.
"So this is the famous Tianyu?"
Chief Instructor Lin Zexian stepped inside, towering and broad-shouldered. His presence alone felt like a pillar pressed into the earth.
"Tianyu," he said, arms folded, "are you interested in joining the Black Dragon Mercenary Group?"
Tianyu froze.
"Me…? But I'm only black iron-level. Don't you only accept silver-level armored envoys?"
Shang Jiao laughed and flicked his forehead lightly.
"You fool. Do you know what it means to be a black iron-level armored envoy? It means you're a monster. A genius."
Lin Zexian nodded, his voice deep and firm.
"Most people your age don't even know how to sense illusory power."
"You, on the other hand—"
"You've already begun armor transformation."
"You have at least two extra years of growth compared to your peers."
He leaned forward.
"You will very likely reach gold-rank one day."
Tianyu's eyes widened.
Lin Zexian continued:
"The Black Dragon has a talent recruitment program. If you join us, we'll give you everything you need—"
A second magical beast.
Resources.
Financial support.
Potions.
Guidance.
A guaranteed position after graduation.
Everything.
It was overwhelming.
But Tianyu lowered his head and breathed out slowly.
"Chief instructor… thank you. But I'm preparing for the college entrance exam right now."
Lin Zexian opened his mouth—then stopped mid-sentence.
"Oh. Right. The little bronze brats are taking the exam this year too…"
Tianyu's brows rose.
"Bronze brats…?"
Lin Zexian chuckled.
"It means there are high schoolers—your age—who are already Bronze-level armored envoys. And they're improving fast."
"They can take down a Flame-tailed Green Lion by themselves. Without armor fusion."
Tianyu's heart thumped once.
Then twice.
"...There's always someone better," he murmured.
He had a system.
He had evolved faster than anyone he knew.
But outside—
The world was filled with monsters stronger than him.
The horizon suddenly seemed vast.
And he was still at its edge.
Shang Jiao stepped closer and nudged him with a smile.
"Don't be discouraged. To reach this level in high school—you're already incredible."
Her voice was gentle.
"But now you've seen the bigger world, haven't you?"
Tianyu raised his head.
He had.
*Lin Zexian chuckled softly as he watched Tianyu's expression tighten with determination.
He could tell—this boy didn't come from money.
To reach this height relying only on a low-level magical beast like a Silver Wolf… that alone was monstrous talent.
Those "little bronze monsters" from elite families?
Every one of them was raised with rare magical beasts, expensive resources, family elders who were silver or gold-ranked armored envoys.
Some even had gold-rank ancestors who personally sculpted their training paths.
How could Tianyu compete with that?
And yet—he did.
Lin Zexian's admiration deepened.
"Keep working hard," he said firmly.
Tianyu nodded once, the fire in his eyes reigniting.
His brief pride from awakening armor transformation was long gone. He now understood—he wasn't competing with Fan Wei or the students of Wudang High School.
He was competing with every genius in the country.
With those born into influence.
With those who started ten steps ahead.
With those whose magical beasts were beyond anything he could currently imagine.
He had no time to waste.
Tianyu hopped off the bed in one motion.
"Instructor, I'm resuming the special training!"
Before Shang Jiao or Lin Zexian could stop him, he was already sprinting out of the tent.
They exchanged helpless glances.
"This kid…"
"…is too hardworking," Shang Jiao muttered.
*
Night blanketed the plains like ink, and the second phase of special training—solo combat—had already begun.
Tianyu shot straight toward the magical beasts, Silver Wolf at his side.
Under the moon, Xiao Hui's fur shimmered like liquid silver.
The glow spread over the grass, painting the ground in waves of pale light.
AWOOOOO!
The Silver Wolf leapt forward—vanishing into a streak of moonlit lightning.
Its claws sliced through beasts effortlessly; energy blades flickered through the air like falling stars.
Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a ghost shadow tarantula…
Ding…
Ding…
The system's windows were like endless raindrops.
Shang Jiao and the instructors watched from afar. She narrowed her eyes.
"…His Silver Wolf gets much stronger at night." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
And it was true.
At night, the wilderness grew more dangerous.
Magical beasts became faster, bolder, hungrier.
But Tianyu and Xiao Hui?
They became unstoppable.
The Silver Wolf moved like a phantom—appearing and disappearing through the hordes, leaving behind only silver lines and lifeless bodies.
Not a single wild beast could counterattack.
"Xiao Hui—Wolf Howling Bomb!"
The Silver Wolf opened its jaws.
Moonlight condensed into a glowing ball of energy.
BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
Each cannon blast tore massive gaps in the beast horde.
Dozens—then hundreds—were erased in the shockwaves.
The ground trembled.
Dust rose in waves.
The Silver Wolf kept pushing—three shots, five shots, even seven consecutive shots, each stronger than the last.
Tonight, the plains belonged to the Silver Wolf alone.
Ding…
Ding…
Ding…
The system struggled to keep up.
Finally—
Ding, congratulations to host for killing 5,000 magical beasts. 1 evolution point obtained.
Tianyu exhaled sharply.
At last.
Adding the half point from the Flame-tailed Green Lion kill, the morning kills, and the horde tonight…
He had finally accumulated the next evolution.
Ding, unallocated 1 evolution point detected. Begin evolution?
"Yes!"
The moment Tianyu confirmed, the world shifted.
The moon above began to glow brighter—then slowly descended, growing larger and larger.
A ripple of moonlight washed over the plains.
Buzz…
A pillar of pure white light fell from the heavens, enveloping the Silver Wolf completely.
The students gasped and shielded their eyes.
"What—what is happening?!"
"Why is the moonlight falling?!"
"Is that thing evolving?!"
The instructors turned toward the light in shock.
AWOOOOOO!!!
The Silver Wolf roared toward the sky as its body began to change—
its silhouette stretching, its outline expanding, its aura rising in a terrifying surge.
The system chimed:
Ding—Forming the innate Wolf King.
The plains trembled.
And Tianyu's heart raced.
*
If you want, I can continue the evolution scene and rewrite Chapter 24 in the same high-impact style!
Here is Chapter 24 rewritten in the same immersive, cinematic, high-impact novelkiss style as before—smooth pacing, polished narration, long paragraphs, and emotional clarity.
*
The moment the system's voice echoed in Tianyu's mind, the pillar of white moonlight split apart—and from within it, a giant wolf of pure silver radiance leapt outward.
It looked as though a fallen moon had taken shape, its fur shimmering like starlight cascading onto the world.
Wherever it stepped, specks of white light drifted down like snowflakes, paving a glowing path across the grassland.
The wolf's eyes had become sharper, colder, carrying an innate dominance.
The crescent mark on its forehead had shifted—no longer a waning moon, but now a quarter of a full moon, brighter and more complete. Even though its body size hadn't expanded much, its aura cut through the air like a blade.
A king had awakened.
The system window opened in Tianyu's mind:
*
[ Magical Beast ]: Silver Moon Wolf King
[ Level ]: Black Iron – High Grade
[ Grade ]: Uncommon
[ Talent ]: Wolf Nature (Normal), Moon Agility (Rare), Wolf King (Uncommon)
[ Skills ]: Silver Claw (Black Iron), Silver Blade (Black Iron), Wolf King Bomb (Black Iron)
[ Wolf King ]: The true sovereign of wolf packs. Grants the ability to command and exert suppression over lupine beasts.
[ Wolf King Bomb ]: An upgraded Wolf Howling Bomb—much denser energy, much greater destructive force.
*
Tianyu inhaled sharply.
This wasn't just a level-up—
This was a qualitative rebirth.
The Wolf King and Wolf King Bomb were completely beyond what he expected.
The difference was like trading a handgun for a cannon.
He stared at Xiao Hui, still absorbing the shock.
Behind him, murmurs spread among the instructors.
"He… he broke through again?"
"Didn't he just awaken armor transformation today?"
"What kind of training monster levels up twice in one night?!"
None of them could accept it.
Even Lin Zexian, who rarely showed emotion, raised an eyebrow.
*
The Next Morning
By dawn, the plains had been almost entirely cleared by the instructors.
Wudang High's forces regrouped and pushed deeper—into the true core of the Dark Forest.
Only now did the students see the terrifying reality of this F-grade mystic realm.
Everything was suffused with darkness.
The trees weren't naturally black—they were wrapped in drifting black mist, as though something had stained them with shadow.
Occasionally, wisps of black smoke seeped from between the branches, like invisible hands stretching from the void.
