5 Chapter 5: Foreknowledge for the Third Time

The Task Panel appeared before him.

[Novice Task 1: Escape from Cell No. 19.]

Task Difficulty: 2 stars.

Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra.

[Novice Task 2: Kill a Guard.]

Task Difficulty: 3 stars.

Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 15 Demon Points.

[Novice Task 3: Kill the Uncontrolled Warrior.]

Task Difficulty: 4 stars.

Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 30 Demon Points, Technique Seeds.

These three tasks had only one name, without any detailed introduction, presumably due to not selecting a novice task.

Having to choose one of the three novice tasks, only after selecting the task could its detailed information be seen.

"Although I don't know the specifics of the task, I'm certain that this four-star level task is definitely related to the uncontrolled white-robed youth before us."

The white-robed youth lost control, and the wolf demon directly abandoned Su Nan and went for the white-robed youth.

With a swing of its claws, it delivered a mighty blow, enough to easily slap Su Nan to death, attempting to seriously injure the white-robed youth.

Feeling the danger, the white-robed youth, whose mind was already controlled by the evil energy in his bloodline, became even more enraged. He didn't dodge but instead attacked the wolf demon with a slap.

As the arms of the man and the demon collided, it seemed like two pieces of metal hitting each other, emitting a dull boom.

The next moment, the fierce wolf demon was sent flying and slammed heavily into the wall.

"This guy is so strong! No wonder he's related to the four-star task." Su Nan's pupils shrank. He had thought the wolf demon was already quite powerful, but now it seemed that it was nowhere near as powerful as the white-robed youth.

Roar!

Due to the intense pain, the wolf demon let out an angry roar. It arches its back and pushed off with its legs like a bolt of lightning, suddenly rushing towards the white-robed youth.

The white-robed youth also slapped the wolf demon again with great strength, determined to kill it.

Inside the cell, the man and the demon were engaged in battle, while outside the cell, another wolf demon was also enraged.

However, it seemed to be guarding against the escape of the other people in the cell, so it never entered the cell and stood watch outside.

But this situation soon changed.

The out-of-control white-robed youth landed another hit on the wolf demon in the cell, causing it to spray fresh blood.

In just a few breaths, the first wolf demon was severely injured.

Now, the wolf demon outside the cell could no longer hold back and roared before rushing into the cell.

"Chance!"

"This is a chance to escape!"

Seeing the second wolf demon coming in, Su Nan was overjoyed rather than scared.

Before, with the wolf demon blocking the cell door, he had no chance to escape. But now it was different.

He could take advantage of the two wolf demons dealing with the white-robed youth to rush out of the cell.

Looking at the task panel again, his gaze fell on the first novice task.

[Novice Task One: Escape from Cell No. 19.]

Cell No. 19 was undoubtedly the cell he was in. This task only required him to escape from the cell, not the prison, which meant that as long as he left this cell, the task should be considered complete.

As for whether he would be killed after escaping the cell, that didn't matter anymore.

Having made a decision quickly, Su Nan chose to complete this task.

"Just in case, I'd better have a foreknowledge first."

The cooling time of foreseeing the future had already ended when the White-robed Youth lost control, and now he could use it again.

The third premonition begins.

[The second Wolf Demon rushes into the prison cell, forming a pincer attack with the first Wolf Demon on the left and right, closing in on the White-robed Youth, intending to hunt him down.]

[They do not realize that the strength of the White-robed Youth has greatly increased after losing control, and they are no match for him.]

[Sure enough, in just a few breaths of struggle, both demons are severely injured and collapse to the ground, unable to get up, with the first Wolf Demon even on the verge of death.]

[Seeing this scene, you know the opportunity you've been waiting for has finally arrived. In an instant, you burst out with unprecedented speed towards the outside of the prison cell.]

[Congratulations, you have successfully escaped the prison cell!]

"I really got out!"

Overjoyed, Su Nan knew that escaping the prison cell meant that he could complete his novice task.

A two-star level novice task was not considered high, but it was already beyond what most players could achieve.

Information was still popping up on the panel, which Su Nan quickly browsed through.

[The White-robed Youth continues to attack both Wolf Demons, finally killing the first one as it struggles helplessly.]

[You are suddenly startled to see that the moment the Wolf Demon dies, its power seems to be extracted from its corpse, causing it to become instantly shriveled and dry, a strange event unfolding.]

[An invisible force descends upon the prison cell, making the White-robed Youth and the remaining Wolf Demon seemingly lose their power, their bodies instantly going limp as they fall to the ground, unable to move. Their bloodline power has been suppressed!]

[You realize that this is the power of the prison cell, or more accurately, the power of this prison.]

[This force is very powerful, easily suppressing the uncontrolled White-robed Youth, but unfortunately, it lasts only for one breath.]

[Finally, the other guards who watch over the prison notice the anomaly, and four powerful demons quickly enter the prison. The leading demon spots you right away.]

[The demon launches an attack on you.]

[You died.]

From the beginning to the end of the premonition, it took only a moment for the second Wolf Demon to join the battle in the prison cell.

"This prison can actually suppress martial artists, incredible!"

Looking at the information on the panel, Su Nan's eyes revealed astonishment.

If his guess was correct, the entire prison had the power to suppress bloodlines. This power was not usually strong, but once a demon died within its confines, its power would be drawn from its corpse by the prison, unleashing an even stronger force.

A prison with such an ability was obviously not an ordinary one.

"No wonder my novice tasks are all at least two-star level."

"I can be sure that this is not a novice map, but an advanced one."

Watching the battle in the prison cell closely, Su Nan prepared to burst out at any moment.

As long as he could escape the prison cell, he would have basically completed his novice task.

Before that, he needed to claim his novice task first.

His gaze fell on the first "Escape the Prison Cell" task, and he was about to claim it.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the four-star task on the task panel, a bold idea forming in his mind.

"Maybe I can try to complete this four-star task!"

Once a task is chosen, it cannot be changed.

The reason he had not chosen a task until now was that he did not know which of the three tasks he would eventually complete.

Originally, he had never considered choosing a four-star task, but intended to pick the first two-star task, since the four-star task was beyond his capabilities.

However, at the current moment, he seemed to see a possibility of completing it.

From the information in the premonition, at the moment when the prison's suppressing force arrives, the uncontrolled White-robed Youth and the Wolf Demon would have their power completely suppressed. If he could seize this opportunity, he could kill the White-robed Youth.

Su Nan looked at the dagger in his hand, his heart wavering with temptation.
