If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

Lin Yuan had just taken half a step, preparing to chase after Zhang Kuang's fleeing foot, when he abruptly stopped in mid-air.

The ground of the ruins was trembling slightly.

At first, it was just a slight tremor, like a heavy-load train passing by in the distance.

But just two seconds later, the ground began to tremble exponentially!

The rubble on the ground leaped upwards as if defying gravity, while the collapsing load-bearing wall beside it emitted a series of cracking sounds as it could no longer bear the weight.

Rumble—!

At the end of the street, a cloud of yellow dust, billowing into the sky, was rapidly advancing towards Lin Yuan's location.

The stench of blood in the air instantly intensified tenfold.

Lin Yuan's dark pupils narrowed slightly.

Beast Tide!

Moreover, it was a miniature elite beast tide composed entirely of second- and third-tier exotic beasts!

No wonder a Tier 3 Shadow Panther suddenly appeared in this "outer buffer zone" that should have been cleared away by the military.

This was not an accident.

Someone is secretly and deliberately driving away and controlling these high-level alien beasts to carry out a premeditated clearing of this area!

The group of strange beasts had a very clear objective: they formed a fan-shaped encirclement and locked onto Lin Yuan's location.

Om-!

Just then, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from high in the sky.

A professional-grade high-altitude rescue drone, painted entirely in military camouflage, is tearing through the clouds at full speed, rapidly diving towards the area where abnormal energy fluctuations are occurring.

The ultra-high-definition wide-angle camera located on the underside of the fuselage flashes a glaring red light.

In a maximum of five seconds, the drone's camera will completely cover the ruins, exposing Lin Yuan to all the military surveillance and the school's chief examiners' screens!

Lin Yuan did not hesitate at all.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes and picked up a sharp pebble no bigger than a fingernail.

Then, his right leg, like a bowstring stretched to its limit, lashed out and struck the gravel with a powerful kick!

boom!

It exploded on the spot, creating a white sonic boom cloud!

That inconspicuous pebble was instantly imbued with unimaginable terrifying kinetic energy, transforming into a blur that could not be detected by the naked eye, shooting straight into the sky!

Five hundred meters above the ground.

The expensive professional rescue drone didn't even have time to send out an alarm.

Click—!

The high-definition bulletproof lens was instantly shattered!

The violent physical kinetic energy aftershocks completely shattered the drone's internal core motherboard into a pile of scrap metal.

The drone, billowing black smoke, spun around and plunged into the distant ruins.

The blind spot in the surveillance system has been completed.

The entire battlefield became a lawless zone, untouched by any electronic surveillance.

Lin Yuan slowly retracted his right leg.

He reached into the pocket of his faded school uniform and pulled out a cheap mask he had bought for ten yuan at a street stall.

It was a blank, white plastic mask without any patterns.

Click.

Lin Yuan put the mask on his face.

The cold plastic pressed against his skin, completely obscuring his delicate features beneath the deathly pale whiteness.

Meanwhile, the sandstorm ahead had been completely torn apart.

Roar--!

Dozens of enormous, bizarrely shaped, terrifying beasts, like out-of-control heavy armored vehicles, crashed through abandoned shops on both sides of the street, roaring as they charged out.

A Tier 2 Earth-Splitting Boar covered in earth-yellow rock armor!

A second-tier wind blade wolf with a faint wind element wrapped around its limbs!

Even more terrifying, right in the center of the beast horde were three third-tier bloodthirsty demonic apes, each over four meters tall with muscles bulging like granite!

Dozens of scarlet, savage eyes simultaneously locked onto the slender figure wearing a pale white mask in the center of the street.

The foul-smelling saliva dripped onto the asphalt road, making a sizzling, corrosive sound.

There was no probing, no pause.

The entire miniature beast horde, carrying a terrifying aura capable of crushing everything, rose into the air from all directions, opened its blood-red maws, and frantically pounced down on Lin Yuan!

Beneath the mask, Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

He twisted his neck.

A series of chilling popping sounds came from the cervical vertebrae.

Faced with that overwhelming army of alien beasts, enough to make any Qi Gathering Realm martial artist instantly despair.

Lin Yuan simply raised his right foot slowly.

The extremely compressed Qi and blood, compressed ten thousand times, were no longer suppressed at this moment.

boom!

The violent energy collided wildly within the muscle fibers of his right leg, instantly stretching the loose school uniform trousers into countless fluttering strips of cloth.

"die."

Lin Yuan uttered a cold syllable and stomped down with his right foot!

tread!

This kick was like an ancient divine elephant trampling the stars.

At this moment, the earth within a radius of 100 meters let out a desperate cry of despair, unable to bear the weight any longer!

The hard asphalt road surface collapsed instantly, like a fragile biscuit.

An extremely violent pure physical reaction force transformed into a visible, semi-transparent air wave that swept wildly in all directions in a ring, centered on Lin Yuan's landing point!

A blast of air surged into the air, distorting space!

Those second- and third-tier beasts that had just leaped into the air didn't even touch the hem of Lin Yuan's clothes.

When that terrifying physical shockwave swept across their bodies.

The scene seemed to freeze in that instant.

The cruel glint that had just appeared in the beasts' crimson eyes was immediately replaced by an extreme fear that came from the depths of their souls.

Followed by.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

It was as if a string of high explosives had been ignited!

The wind blade wolves in the front row had their hard skulls instantly shatter like watermelons!

The Earth-Splittering Boar following behind had its proud rock armor reduced to dust the instant it came into contact with the shockwave, its entire body instantly flattened and torn apart by the violent force!

Even the three third-tier bloodthirsty demonic apes, whose defensive capabilities were extremely astonishing, only lasted for a mere tenth of a second longer.

Accompanied by a series of nauseating sounds of bones breaking, their massive bodies expanded violently in mid-air before exploding into clouds of scarlet blood mist!

There are no fancy special effects for internal energy.

There are no dazzling martial arts techniques.

This is the purest and most primal power of the physical body!

Within a radius of 100 meters, the earth was completely flattened!

All the strange beasts that rushed forward were crushed into flying bits of blood and flesh by this physical shockwave, which was like an invisible meat grinder.

slam-la-

A bloody wind howled.

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs rained down like a torrential downpour, turning this ruin into a living hell.

Lin Yuan stood quietly in place.

A thin layer of qi and blood barrier covered his body, perfectly isolating him from all the blood and bits of flesh.

The pure white mask was spotless.

"this one?"

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, seemingly finding the fragility of these strange beasts somewhat uninteresting.

But his hands did not stop moving at all.

He drew the dagger from his waist, his figure transforming into a gray afterimage as he weaved through the rain of blood.

Knife up and down.

He accurately picked out the various colored beast crystal cores from the shattered flesh and blood, and skillfully stuffed them into his cheap backpack.

Ten seconds.

Dozens of priceless second- and third-order crystal cores were all acquired.

And about two hundred meters away from the deep pit where Lin Yuan was.

In the shadows on the top floor of an abandoned office building.

A pair of eyes, hidden beneath a hood, were fixed intently on everything happening below.

The man in the black robe was tightly gripping a strange bone flute used to control mythical beasts.

But at this moment, his fingers, which were holding the bone flute, were trembling wildly, and his knuckles were white from the excessive force.

Tick.

A bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead and landed on the dusty floor.

The man's pupils contracted sharply, and his breathing became rapid, like that of a broken bellows.

"How is that possible..."

"That was a miniature beast horde! And...and they were all stomped to death with a single step?!"

The man in the black robe felt a chill run down his spine and up to the top of his head.

He was a member of the cult "Dark Spirit Society" who was lurking in the Seventh Security Zone. He was ordered to use these strange beasts to test the defenses and, incidentally, to eliminate the martial arts school students on the outskirts.

But he never expected that among these students who hadn't even reached the Bone Forging Realm, there was actually such a monster that couldn't be measured by common sense!

Without any fluctuations of true energy, he shattered the third-tier alien beast entirely with the power of his physical body.

Grandmaster!

Moreover, he is an extremely rare master of external martial arts who has taken the extreme path of physical training!

escape!

This intelligence must be reported to superiors immediately! A deity in a physical body, whose true power is unfathomable, is hidden within the Seventh Security Zone!

Without hesitation, the man in the black robe turned around, his inner energy surging wildly, ready to smash through the glass and escape.

But he had just turned his head.

My gaze passed through the ruins and then fell upon the deep pit.

The slender figure wearing a pure white mask at the bottom of the pit... disappeared.

It vanished into thin air, without a sound or any trace of its true energy.

It was as if this person had never existed there.

The man in the black robe felt his heart skip a beat.

Where are they?!

In the instant his brain briefly went blank.

Swish.

The hairs on my back stood on end.

An extreme chill, seemingly emanating from the depths of hell, surged forth from the bottom of his heart without warning, instantly freezing the blood in his entire body.

He didn't even have time to turn his head.

A long, cold hand, like an iron clamp containing terrifying power, silently emerged from the shadows behind.

Click.

That hand gripped the back of his neck tightly, cutting off all the pathways for his internal energy to flow in order to resist.

Followed by.

A cold, emotionless voice slowly sounded close to his ear.

"They've been hiding up there watching for so long."

"Are you here to give me money too?"
