Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Pair of Double Pupils

"hiss!"

The crystal scorpion crawled and hissed, then swung its venomous tail backward—"Whoosh!"

The scorpion's tail flashed like a streak of silver light.

"Pfft!"

The gleaming, terrifying scorpion stinger pierced Fang Yi's chest with pinpoint accuracy. Instantly, the horrifying toxin began to spread throughout his body's blood vessels, damaging cells and disrupting his nerves.

Seeing that its attack had succeeded, the crystal scorpion lashed out with a wild, instinctive joy as it whipped its tail.

But they were completely unaware of the dark space in their blind spot.

One by one, tightly closed eyes appeared silently.

Sudden.

An indescribable pain and burning sensation spread throughout the crystal scorpion's entire body!

"Hiss—!"

The crystal scorpion turned its scarlet eyes, scanning its visible body.

They found no damage to themselves, nor any trace of enemy attack.

Out of instinct.

The crystal scorpion twirled its long, sharp limbs, but couldn't find the source of the pain. Only when it took in its surroundings did it realize that it was now surrounded by a multitude of closed eyes.

In an instant—

Its primal instincts are reminding it that these eye sockets are extremely dangerous!

A peculiar fear arose spontaneously, as if a threat far more terrifying than a natural enemy had been encountered!

"Da da da—!"

"Hiss—!"

The crystal scorpion thrashed its limbs wildly and let out a wary, threatening roar. Its venomous tail spun continuously, frantically attacking the illusory eye sockets hidden in the dark space around it.

But with each attack, there was no feedback of hitting the target.

It was like hitting thin air.

All actions and all resistance seemed futile.

In fear, however, an eye socket suddenly opened, revealing two cold pupils within.

The other tightly closed eyes gradually awakened.

One, two, three... countless double pupils opened.

Within its eye sockets were double pupils emitting blue-purple light, which, from a downward perspective, constantly scanned, peered into, and intimidated the crystal scorpion in the center.

"Hiss—!"

The Crystal Scorpion's hiss was now tinged with fear. Its beastly eyes darted around, wary of the awakening eyes around it.

In the blink of an eye.

Countless double pupils suddenly opened wide.

The burning sensation on the Crystal Scorpion's body intensified, and only then did it understand the origin of the feeling.

……

reality.

Two crystal scorpions attempted to approach, but one of them inexplicably stopped in place.

The other scorpion, its tail broken, could only swing its pincers, but still couldn't hit Fang Yi.

"Pfft!"

Fang Yi exerted force with his five fingers, successfully dodging the opponent's attack, while grabbing the concave part of the crystal scorpion's abdomen and slamming it hard against a stone pillar in the underground parking lot.

"Bang!"

The crystal scorpion fell down immediately, and the circular cement pillar was shaken so badly that it shattered into several pieces of stone, which scattered all over its body.

Fang Yi shot out, right before the Crystal Scorpion's shocked and terrified eyes.

He stomped down suddenly!

This kick, accumulating the full force of the body, utilizes the traditional martial arts technique of "stomping the foot."

Extremely tyrannical.

Despite the crystal scorpion's sturdy armor, it was still unable to withstand such an attack.

Not to mention that Fang Yi attacked its outer shell several times, leaving it extremely vulnerable.

"Bang!"

Fang Yi, expressionless, stomped on the skull, shattering it. Blood and organs gushed out from the cracks and gaps.

And in the distance.

The female warrior who helped her two teammates up was speechless at the sight of such violent and bloody methods.

The methods this young man displayed were all too terrifying.

One crystal scorpion was dealt with effortlessly, while the other remained completely still. Its strange stillness suggested it was under some kind of influence.

And this moment.

The third crystal scorpion was easily crushed and dealt with by it.

The entire battle lasted only about a minute.

The two heavily injured male martial artists, who were being helped up, looked at the scene with expressions of disbelief, as if they were looking at a monster.

They are both in their thirties now and have hunted many monsters. But they admit that they cannot be as precise and decisive as their opponent.

It's as if it can see through all the monsters' attacks and react instantly.

Low-level monster.

They can also rely on dynamic vision, instinctive reactions, and agile movements to deal with it.

But against opponents of the same or even higher levels, they don't have many options.

"So young, yet so ruthless..."

"He's practically a born martial artist."

The two male martial artists spoke at the same time.

The female warrior swallowed hard and nodded in agreement.

Just then, a commotion suddenly came from above. The three looked up at the cave entrance and saw several figures appear instantly.

"Are you alright?"

"We received an emergency rescue notification and are on our way."

"Wait a minute, these four don't seem to be from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy?"

The men, dressed in combat uniforms and carrying weapons, frowned slightly. Then they jumped down from the cave entrance to the parking lot and only then did they notice Fang Yi in the distance.

The first thing I noticed when I saw Fang Yi was a crystal scorpion not far from him.

"Watch out, behind you...!"

"It's nothing." Fang Yi replied calmly as soon as the martial artist reminded him.

next moment.

In front of everyone, Fang Yi approached the motionless crystal scorpion.

A punch from above pierced straight through his skull.

Just as the two crystal scorpions arrived to provide support.

Fang Yi then revealed a double pupil in his left eye. He used the double pupil illusion technique to confuse his opponent, pulling him into an illusion space composed of countless double pupils.

The mental attack from the double pupil eye was extremely ferocious, far surpassing ordinary mental attacks.

now.

They are probably still suffering under the illusion.

"The double pupil illusion technique is indeed useful... but its awakening level is not high yet, and its power is limited. It will only become stronger in the future."

Fang Yi thought to himself.

At the same time, he pulled his fist out of the body and shook off the viscous blood.

"Take those two injured people out of here. I still need to deal with these three crystal scorpion scorpions."

Fang Yi waved his hand.

During the battle with the first crystal scorpion, he dialed the emergency distress signal above his watch.

Since Fang Yi was from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, those who rushed to his aid upon receiving the signal were mostly martial artists from the same academy.

Therefore, when the group arrived.

Looking at that squad of female warriors, I was puzzled.

Fang Yi took out tools from his backpack and began to dissect and collect the valuable parts from the scorpion.

The martial artists from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy who rushed to provide support only realized what was happening after hearing this.

"You are... Fang Yi!"

As soon as the martial artist spoke, the others realized that Fang Yi looked very familiar. They immediately recalled the rumor circulating in the Extreme Martial Arts Hall that Fang Yi, during his time as a quasi-martial artist, could deliver a punch that could weigh 2000 kg.

In addition, there was his terrifying performance in the martial arts assessment.

He is already a celebrity at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

then.

Without saying much, since there were still injured people nearby, they immediately helped them out of the cave and headed to the military area for treatment.

Before leaving, the female warrior glanced back at Fang Yi, who was dissecting the crystal scorpion.

Fang Yi's appearance and name were deeply etched in my mind.

Not long after.

Fang Yi dismembered the last scorpion tail, folded it, and put it into his backpack.

The crystal scorpion has many valuable parts: its tail, pincers, huge crystal shell, and venom sac, all of which are worth a fortune.
