I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

……

Outside the slaughterhouse.

Shen Tian took a deep breath.

The Wilderness Hunter.

Mercenaries.

That certainly sounds like a life-threatening job.

But he had no choice.

Li Zihao has now come knocking on our door.

This defeat will certainly not be tolerated, especially since I was severely humiliated by myself.

He needs to become stronger.

You need to break through to the Martial Artist realm at least.

To become stronger, you have to kill.

Back to that rented room of less than ten square meters.

The air was filled with a musty smell and the sour odor of cheap instant noodles.

Shen Tian locked the door behind him and threw himself onto the creaking hard bed.

My whole body feels like it's been disassembled and reassembled; it aches terribly.

But he was unusually excited.

This is the aftereffect of killing.

The emptiness that follows an adrenaline rush is what drives people crazy.

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

"system."

A thought crossed my mind.

The pale blue panel that only he could see appeared before his eyes.

[Host: Shen Tian]

【Mental Power: 10】

[Martial arts realm: mortal body (20/20)]

[Kill Value: 40]

[Martial Arts: Basic Swordsmanship 5/5; Basic Body Tempering Technique 3/8]

[Talent: Swordsmanship Proficiency - White]

Forty kill points.

This is the hard-earned money he earned by working day and night at the slaughterhouse.

It was also the capital that allowed him to turn his life around.

In this messed-up world, only those who hold power in their own hands can truly be considered alive.

"Add all points to the basic body tempering method."

Shen Tian did not hesitate at all.

The thought settled.

The numbers on the panel started jumping wildly.

The kill count is decreasing rapidly.

The numbers following the Basic Tempering Method skyrocketed like a rocket.

4/8.

5/8.

……

8/8!

boom!

A burst of scorching heat exploded within his body out of nowhere.

It doesn't feel like lukewarm water during normal cultivation.

This heat was extremely domineering, like scalding magma rushing wildly through the veins.

Shen Tian let out a muffled groan.

His muscles were taut all over, and the veins looked like grotesque earthworms writhing wildly under his skin.

Click.

Click.

A series of popping sounds, like popping beans, came from inside my body.

That's the bones remodeling and the fascia strengthening.

His originally thin body had become visibly fuller.

Not the kind of dead muscle you get from working out in the gym.

Instead, they are streamlined muscle lines full of explosive power, each one containing astonishing strength.

for a long time.

The burning sensation gradually subsided.

Shen Tian was panting heavily, his whole body soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

He slowly sat up and clenched his fist.

The air was squeezed and burst.

It made a crisp "snap" sound.

This power.

It's more than twice as strong as before.

Shen Tian stood up and casually performed a set of basic boxing techniques.

The whistling wind echoed in the narrow room.

The movements were fluid and smooth, without any sense of sluggishness.

The feeling of energy and blood surging through the body is intoxicating.

"Basic body tempering method perfected."

The next two days.

The slaughterhouse became a battlefield.

Brother Xiong is a man of principle.

Since they said they were going to invest, they went all out.

No one knows what connections he used, but he managed to bring in a large number of semi-monsters from several surrounding farms.

The roars of animals echoed throughout the backyard of the slaughterhouse.

The fishy, ​​foul odor was so strong it was almost unbearable.

The workers kept their distance, afraid of being hurt by those crazed beasts.

Only one figure moved through the bloodshed.

Shen Tian held the boning knife he never parted with in his hand.

The blade had been dulled, but he sharpened it again until it gleamed.

[Slay the half-monster bull, kill points +1]

Killing the half-monster Ironhide Boar grants +1 kill point.

[Slay the half-monster Silverhorn Goat, kill points +1]

Just as the system's kill count broke through 100 points.

【Ding! 】

[Kill points accumulated to 100.]

[You can upgrade your current talent.]

Talent upgrade?

Shen Tian's grip on the knife tightened suddenly.

"Open the panel."

Swish.

A pale blue light screen unfolded on the retina.

[Host: Shen Tian]

【Mental Power: 10】

[Martial arts realm: mortal body (20/20)]

[Kill Value: 100]

[Martial Arts: Basic Swordsmanship 5/5 (Perfect); Basic Body Tempering Technique 8/8 (Perfect)]

[Talent: Swordsmanship Proficiency - White (Upgradeable)]

Talent is the foundation.

Only by laying a solid foundation can we go further and wider in the future.

not to mention.

I'm about to become a wilderness hunter.

You must have a trump card to save your life.

Shen Tian's eyes narrowed.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Upgrade your talent!"

The instant the thought is conceived.

The kill count on the panel instantly dropped to zero.

Followed by.

A massive amount of information was poured into Shen Tian's sea of ​​consciousness.

Countless images of wielding a knife flashed wildly through my mind.

Chop, cut, flick, stab.

Thousands upon thousands of strikes.

Each time is more perfect than the last.

Each time was more deadly than the last.

The previously awkward muscle memory was forcibly erased.

Instead.

It is an instinct honed through countless trials.

The boning knife in my hand seemed to come alive.

It is no longer a cold piece of iron.

Instead, it became an extension of his arm.

It became a part of his body.

The blood vessel is connected to the knife handle.

Breathing in sync with the blade.

This feeling is amazing.

That mysterious feeling gradually settled within my body.

Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes, which were originally clear and bright, now faintly revealed a chilling sharpness.

Focus your gaze.

The text on the panel has undergone a complete transformation.

[Talent: Innate Blade Bones - Green]

[Entry Description: Your spine and arm bones gleam with a pale blue light. When you stretch your muscles and bones, the joints produce a crisp, metallic clanging sound. An old master passing by happened to touch your arm bones, and was so shocked that he accidentally crushed the dragon-shaped walnut in his hand, trembling as he said, "This is not human bone! This is clearly a peerless sword hidden beneath the skin! This child must not be buried!"]

【Effect】

[Great Strength] When using sword-type weapons, arm strength increases by 100%, and sword attack power increases by 100%.

【Shaking Blade】When attacking with a blade-type weapon, a powerful shockwave can be unleashed.

call.

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

A white ribbon seemed to rise from the air.

Shen Tian slowly straightened up.

Crackling sound.

The great dragon of the spine suddenly straightened up, and a series of explosions came from inside its body.

Unlike before, the bones didn't crack.

The sound was crisp and clear.

It sounded like two peerless swords clashing together, producing the metallic clang of metal striking metal.

This is what it means to have naturally sharp bones.

Shen Tian looked down at his hands.

The skin is still the same skin.

But beneath the skin, the arm bone faintly gleamed with a pale blue-green light.

Slightly clench your fist.

The sense of power was almost overflowing.

"Let's test its quality."

Shen Tian casually picked up the boning knife.

The knife that was once easy to use now felt as light as a straw in my hand.

It's light and flimsy, with no weight to it.

far away.

A tin bull that hadn't been dealt with yet was restless.

The bull stared with its scarlet eyes, breathing heavily through its nostrils.

It smelled the blood of its own kind.

Manic.

anger.

Moo!

The bull, with its four hooves pounding the ground, head down, and two sharp horns aimed at Shen Tian, ​​charged at him like a madman.

The mountain of flesh, weighing several hundred kilograms, made the ground tremble when it ran.

Shen Tian held the knife in one hand and casually chopped down at the bull's skull, which was as hard as iron.

[Great Strength] activated.

Arm strength doubled.

The attack power of the sword swing is doubled.

hum!

The air was torn apart in an instant.

Even before the blade arrived, the terrifying sense of oppression had already made the bull's fur stand on end.

puff.

There was no earth-shattering collision sound.

The boning knife felt like it was cutting into a piece of soft tofu.

Without any hindrance.

The blade sliced ​​through the hide, severed the skull, and plunged down into the bull's neck.

Click!

The bull's momentum came to an abrupt halt.

The immense inertia lifted its hindquarters upwards, causing it to crash heavily to the ground.

The blood hadn't even had a chance to gush out yet.

Shen Tian flicked his wrist.

【Vibrating Knife】.

hum-

A visible ripple traveled along the hilt to the blade, then instantly flowed into the bull's body.

The bull's body, which had been convulsing, suddenly stiffened.

Followed by.

puff!puff!puff!

A series of muffled explosions came from inside the bull's body.

It felt like a string of firecrackers exploding inside its belly.

The five internal organs and six bowels.

All internal organs.

In that instant, it was shattered by that terrifying shockwave.

The bull collapsed to the ground.

It's as soft as a lump of mud.

Shen Tian drew his sword.

The blade was completely free of blood.

It was still trembling slightly.

"Such domineering power."

A glint of light flashed in Shen Tian's eyes.

This is the power of green talent.

Simply doubling one's power is terrifying enough.

Add to that the [Shaking Blade] effect, and it's practically a god-tier armor-piercing skill.

of course.

Shen Tian was there for slaughter.

The internal organs of this bull are definitely unusable.
