Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

The system is now prompting me to advance from Tier 1 to Tier 2, indicating that there is a ranking system in this world, although the system still hasn't specified the exact rankings.

As the system notification appeared, Jingyuan's physical attributes began to change.

Judging from the subtitles, the changes in the body are due to the upgrade of mental power, and the system rewards the body's physical attributes by upgrading to the second tier.

It seems that physical fitness and telekinesis are two separate paths. Jingyuan relies on telekinesis to level up, while physical fitness is merely a byproduct.

Jingyuan stood there, feeling an energy flowing into his body from an unknown source, constantly strengthening his muscles and bones.

This improvement was faster than the last one.

When the upgrade was complete, Jingyuan felt a tremor emanating from the life essence.

An invisible energy spread out from Jing Yuan as the center.

When Lorife was less than ten meters away from Jingyuan, he suddenly felt a heaviness in his head and fainted.

Jing Yuan looked at Loriev with a puzzled expression. In Jing Yuan's mind, it was as if he had stretched and accidentally punched Loriev.

At this moment, Jing Yuan was still wearing the gravity suit. When he took a step, he felt that wearing the gravity suit was actually a kind of constraint.

Jing Yuan quickly checked the gravity body's power system and found that there was no problem with the power and the energy was sufficient.

Jingyuan went to Lorif's side and found out that he had just fainted, so he picked him up and walked towards the vehicle.

Jingyuan quickly realized the problem.

It wasn't that there was a problem with the gravity body, but rather that his physical strength had increased, and the current gravity body was no longer sufficient, which was why Jing Yuan felt a sense of constraint.

Jingyuan tossed Lorif into the passenger seat, then piloted his gravity body onto the vehicle's cargo bed.

Jing Yuan felt much lighter as soon as he emerged from the gravity body.

He stretched his body, swung his fists a few times, and kicked a few times.

He could clearly sense that his body had become stronger!

When Jingyuan first improved his physical fitness, his physical strength was only comparable to Mark's.

It's important to know that Mark himself is practically a superhuman.

In the original story, Mark crippled the armored Sharif in hand-to-hand combat.

Sarif is over two meters tall and possesses a strong physique, representing the pinnacle of human physical abilities. Furthermore, he wears powered armor, making him far more powerful than an average person.

Even someone like that was crippled by Mark with his bare hands.

Mark's individual strength is absolutely beyond human limits.

After Jingyuan improved his physical abilities for the first time, he was able to fight Mark to a draw, and his strength exceeded the limits of human beings.

Therefore, most people are no match for Jingyuan.

This time, however, Jing Yuan felt that the gravity body was no longer enough to improve his physical fitness.

His strength and speed may already be comparable to the power and speed he unleashes when piloting a gravity vehicle.

However, Jingyuan cannot verify this at the moment; it is merely a conjecture.

Jingyuan secured the gravity body and turned to get into the driver's seat.

Meanwhile, Loriev, who was standing next to him, had already woken up.

He was unconscious for only a short time.

"You're awake!" Jing Yuan asked.

"What's wrong with me?" Lorife felt a little dizzy.

"You fainted!"

Loriev saw himself in the car and asked, "Did you save me?"

"Yes!" Jingyuan didn't say anything else.

He had planned to leave one person behind, which is why he made his move when Locke betrayed Loriev.

Jingyuan didn't want to keep Locke.

"Thank you!" Lorif was silent for a moment, then said, "This mission was all thanks to you for helping us kill the Devouring Beast. I will tell the Guild Master all of this truthfully!"

"I don't care what you say. Even if you say I killed them both, I still have to save you."

“No!” Lorife said, “Van and Locke brought this on themselves! They wanted to harm you, which led to all this! I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have agreed to their actions! It’s because you hit Locke, and he wanted revenge!”

"I know you can't make this decision! I don't blame you."

Jingyuan smiled to himself. "Birds of a feather flock together," he thought. "How honest is this Loriev?"

Perhaps he was genuinely grateful to Jing Yuan for saving him, or perhaps he was just pretending to be a good person.

But none of that mattered to Jingyuan.

Lorife rubbed his forehead and asked, "Was it that Devouring Beast's attack that knocked me unconscious?"

"I don't know!"

Jing Yuan was truly unsure, but he vaguely sensed that he must have knocked Lorife unconscious, though he had no proof and it was merely a guess.

Jingyuan stepped on the gas, and the vehicle sped across the desert, soon meeting the lighthouse's route.

After synchronizing the coordinates, the lighthouse began to lower the lifting platform ahead of schedule.

When Jingyuan arrived, the platform had just been launched.

He drove the vehicle directly onto the platform.

As the platform gradually ascended, Jingyuan and Lorife arrived at the lighthouse.

Jingyuan was stunned to see a group of people standing on the outer ring of the lighthouse!

Normally, when hunters return, they are greeted by a team, which is quite normal.

But this time, even Lord Morgan came to greet us. What a grand gesture!

Besides Morgan, there were Charles, Jingnan, Victor, Elon, and other department heads standing next to him.

On either side of this group of high-ranking officials were the city defense troops led by Sengge and the hunters.

Penny and the others came up first and stood in the hunters' group.

While on the ground, Jingyuan had already guessed Charles's plot.

Jingyuan saw Charles's smug look from afar; it seemed his scheme had succeeded.

Jingyuan and Lorife got out of the car, and Charles's expression changed slightly when he saw that Lorife was the only one left.

Lorif couldn't say anything in front of a lot of people, so he just nodded slightly, and Charles resumed his smug smile.

But Jingyuan didn't see this scene; his gaze was fixed on City Lord Morgan.

Morgan had never been seen to come out specifically to welcome the hunters back to the team before. I wonder what methods Charles used to get Morgan to come over.

Jingyuan walked up and joked, "So many people, are they here to pick me up?"

Charles laughed and said, "Captain Mark will be here soon. You wait here for a bit, let's all go back together!"

Sure enough, all those people were there just to wait for Mark!

Should we celebrate Mark's triumphant return?

Charles obviously won't do that!

Judging from Charles's smug look, Mark's situation down below must be very difficult.

The lighthouse continued its journey and soon arrived at the agreed-upon rendezvous point with Mark.

As the elevator platform slowly descended and then rose again, Mark and his team came into view.

Seeing their disheveled appearance, Jing Yuan felt a sense of foreboding.

Mark's team was battered, their weapons damaged, and each member had injuries of varying degrees on their face and body.

Once the platform came to a stop, the hunters rushed forward to help their teammate.

Penny also ran over to help Ran Bing.

"Ran Bing, what's happening down there?"

"The attack from the Devouring Beasts on the ground is too fierce, far more than expected."

“How could this be!” Penny exclaimed in disbelief.

Chapter 60 How did you get the medicine?

In the past, when Captain Mark went on missions, he not only collected the most supplies, but also suffered the fewest casualties.

However, on the last few times Mark led his team to carry out data collection missions on the ground, they encountered various problems.

Mark walked up to Morgan, bowed his head, and said, "Lord City Lord, we have failed to complete the mission this time, and we have disappointed you!"

Morgan was indeed disappointed, but he did not show it in public.

"It's good that he's back!"

Elon, standing nearby, directed, "Quick! Get the wounded to the medical area!" Then he went to Mark and said, "Son, you should go get treatment too!"
