"Instance has started: 42 minutes and 23 seconds; 2 minutes and 17 seconds until the Flow Year Calendar synchronizes." Guhan, who had cleared the entire exhibition hall, glanced at the system time. Dealing with the six waves of wild wolves was faster than he had anticipated, and he hadn't even used up the mandatory ten minutes provided by the system, leaving him with an extra two minutes.
"Strange, why did the interval between waves change from one minute to immediately refreshing after I cleared them, starting from the third wave?" Guhan felt something was off. According to the information he gathered from the forum, the wild wolves were supposed to refresh every minute, regardless of whether the previous wave was cleared.
"Although this saved me a lot of time, will it also lure out the BOSS, Steel Fang, prematurely?" Just as this thought crossed his mind, he felt a cold wind rushing towards his temple.
"Clang!" A heavy collision sound echoed as Qingpin Jian appeared at the last moment, blocking a silver-glowing claw from striking Guhan's temple.
"Nice reflexes, human!" The claw that Qingpin Jian blocked instantly retracted, and its owner, a human with wolf ears and a tail, black hair draped over his shoulders, and clad in gray fur armor, appeared directly in front of Guhan.
"Such powerful strength, that block just cost me a quark of sword essence..." Guhan's face turned grim. His sword essence was already limited, with only nine quarks. He had used about five quarks in the previous battles with the wild wolves and wasted another quark just now, leaving him with less than three quarks—these three quarks were crucial for his future plans.
With only two minutes left until the Flow Year Calendar awakened... how could he possibly deal with the final BOSS, Steel Fang, who had appeared prematurely?

"System Notice: BOSS Steel Fang has refreshed."
[
Name: Steel Fang
Level: Ghost Level
Origin: Fusan Demon Realm
Instance: "Yue Wang Gou Jian" Instance
Health: Two Stars
Attack: Two and a Half Stars
Agility: Three Stars
Demon Power: One Star
Abilities: Skilled in close combat, though he carries a Japanese sword on his waist, he has never used it. He prefers to concentrate his demon power in his hands, forming demon claws to fight enemies. The demon claws are laced with poison, and any damage from them will cause a poisoning effect, leading to continuous health loss.
Ultimate Skill: Blood-Breaking Iron Claw
Description: Son of the demon wolf clan's leader, Steel Fang rebelled in his youth and led his followers to break away from the main demon wolf clan, forming a new, smaller tribe. Despite the split, he still retains the first inheritance right of the main clan and is known as the Young Demon Lord of the demon wolf clan, a significant figure in the Fusan Demon Realm.
Steel Fang was the first of the Metaknights to invade the third dimension, the first to battle the Sword Ancestor, and the first Ghost Level Metaknight to die in the third dimension. Later, his father, seeking revenge for Steel Fang, led the main demon wolf clan to slaughter humans, battling the young Sword Ancestor in Shibuya for ten days. The Sword Ancestor was severely injured, and the entire main demon wolf clan was wiped out.

The above information was compiled by players on the forum based on various sources, detailing the attributes of the final BOSS, Steel Fang. Guhan, more than anyone, understood this opponent, and precisely because of this understanding, he knew he was about to face an absolute tough battle.
In Guhan's plan, the final BOSS, Steel Fang, should not have appeared at this time but only after the Flow Year Calendar completed synchronization and the Yue Wang Gou Jian awakened. Guhan was well aware that with his current strength, he was no match for a Ghost Level Metaknight.
Unlike the Rat Level ordinary wild wolves, a Ghost Level Metaknight, which was two levels above Rat and Tiger, was far more powerful than the wild wolves. Without the help of the Yue Wang Gou Jian and with only three quarks of sword essence left, Guhan could do nothing.
"Damn it, he appeared prematurely due to the change in the refresh rules... indeed, as the book says, plans can never keep up with changes!!!" Guhan took a deep breath. Since the unexpected had already happened, there was no time to regret. He had to stall for the remaining two minutes and prevent Steel Fang from attacking the Flow Year Calendar.
"Human, you are strong, to have killed my beloved clan members..." Steel Fang looked at Guhan coldly, as if he were already a dead man. "They were my dearest clan members, the backbone of my future tribe. Many of them were about to transform into human form. Human, we have a score to settle."
"These beasts, each with the blood of at least ten humans, sixty-three beasts, that's six hundred and thirty humans. Steel Fang, how do you want to settle this score?" Guhan retorted without hesitation. For Metaknights who killed humans, Guhan would not spare their lives.
"Ha ha ha, what a boring world, you humans are like quails, offering no resistance. After three days, Steel Fang's claws can finally have some fun!!" Steel Fang laughed three times, like a long-suppressed child finally seeing a toy he liked. "I'll count to three, and then I'll attack. Human, be prepared!"
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
The moment the word "three" reached Guhan's ears, Steel Fang was already in front of him, moving so fast that he was almost as quick as sound.
"You're too slow... too slow..." Steel Fang mocked Guhan while raising his claw and pressing it against Guhan's stomach. "Human, how many knots do you want me to make in your intestines?"
"Still one minute!" Guhan grinned.
"What? What one minute?" Steel Fang was taken aback, his face turning ashen. "Are you mocking me? Damn human."
A sense of foreboding suddenly gripped Steel Fang. It seemed that this one minute was his future, and in one minute, he would face a great danger... a danger that could kill him!!!
"One minute! It will take only one second to kill you!" Steel Fang, no longer hesitating, used all his strength to drive his claw into Guhan's stomach.
"I'm in! I'm in! Is this human just bluffing?" Feeling his claw touch the soft, warm intestines and other organs inside Guhan's abdomen, Steel Fang was both pleased and disappointed. "This guy killed my clan members... I thought he could resist a few moves, but he died so easily. If I had known, I would have saved some strength and made him play with me longer."
"Still fifty seconds!!" Guhan continued to grin.
"This human! He's not dead?" Seeing Guhan still smiling strangely, Steel Fang's sense of foreboding grew stronger. "I know, my father said humans don't die easily even if their intestines come out... they can still struggle for a while!"
"I'll turn your organs into minced meat, and see how you can still smile!!" Steel Fang thought with hatred, and the five claws in Guhan's abdomen shot out a stream of demon energy, which intertwined and twisted like a giant drill, turning all the organs into minced meat.
"Is he dead now?" Steel Fang sighed in relief, looking up to see Guhan in agony and dying, but was horrified to find him still smiling.
"Still thirty seconds!!" This voice echoed in Steel Fang's mind like a death knell.
"I know, the brain, it's the brain... I must crush his brain to make him stop talking!!" Steel Fang's face twisted in anger. He tried to pull out his claw to crush the human's head, but as he moved his claw, he shivered involuntarily.
"How can this human's organs still be there???" If not for his claw being inside the opponent and gripping a large intestine, Steel Fang would not have believed that the organs he had shredded into minced meat had miraculously returned.
If Steel Fang had Guhan's perspective, he would have seen the following system messages flashing in the corner of his eye.
"System Notice: Player Tidu, you have received a fatal injury—9999."
"System Notice: Player Tidu, due to the Super Newbie Buff, you retain one point of health."
"System Notice: Player Tidu, you have received a fatal injury—999."
"System Notice: Player Tidu, due to the Super Newbie Buff, you retain one point of health."
"System Notice: Player Tidu, you have received a fatal injury—999."
"System Notice: Player Tidu, due to the Super Newbie Buff, you retain one point of health."

"Is this still a human? Didn't those mysterious people tell us that the third dimension has no supernatural powers? This guy is definitely not a normal human!!!" Steel Fang was afraid. Since coming to this world, he felt fear again, and the last time he felt fear was when he faced the demon called Naraku.
"Still ten seconds!! You wasted too much time in my stomach, Steel Fang..."
