Ye Chu took a deep breath, his chest surging with indescribable excitement.

This battle was an unparalleled opportunity bestowed upon him by heaven, and the rewards he gained were astonishing.

In the fierce battle, he eagerly absorbed the crystal cores and heart's blood left behind by those demonic beasts, in quantities that would make any cultivator envious.

Even more astonishingly, his body seemed to have undergone some kind of mysterious baptism, and was experiencing earth-shattering changes, with every inch of his skin and every bone containing unprecedented power.

But the most crucial thing is the mastery of the Shaking Dragon Fist!

At this moment, Ye Chu seemed to have mastered the power of mountains and rivers. With a single punch, he could shake the dragon vein, demonstrating the immense power he possessed.

It can be said that Ye Chu now is no longer the same person he used to be.

He seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, exuding a chilling aura.

However, this new force has also brought about unavoidable side effects.

He desperately needs flesh and blood to replenish his physical strength and make up for the energy depleted by the fierce battle.

So Ye Chu climbed onto the giant ape's massive body without hesitation.

The white dragon spear in his hand was like a chef's exquisite knife, gleaming with a cold light, precisely and swiftly slicing through the rock-hard muscles of the giant ape.

In an instant, Ye Chu's gaze was fixed on that enormous heart, which, despite suffering fatal damage and being mercilessly torn apart, was still beating stubbornly.

As if unwilling to fall silent, it vowed to infuse the fallen giant ape's body with the last vestige of indomitable strength and the afterglow of life.

At this moment, Ye Chu was extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could easily blow him over. His skin clung tightly to his bones, revealing a heartbreaking fragility.

His body desperately needed a massive surge of energy to fill the void and to sustain his will and strength to continue.

Without hesitation, Ye Chu lay down on the giant ape's massive body, like a long-starved beast, and began to devour it without restraint.

Every bite is a thirst for vitality, every swallow is an outpouring of the desire to survive.

In this dense forest, food became his only pursuit and his only hope for a new life.

After a long while, Ye Chu regained his senses. He slowly stood up, as if bearing the weight of a thousand pounds, and finally leaned helplessly against the cold body of the enormous ape.

His body, which had become gaunt from the fierce battle, had miraculously regained its fullness and strength.

It was as if every inch of muscle was telling a story of resilience and rebirth.

In this tranquil moment, Ye Chu's thoughts surged like a tidal wave, replaying the thrilling battle in his mind again and again.

He carefully considered each choice made in life-or-death moments, experiencing the challenges of being in dire straits.

His keenness and decisiveness in capturing and utilizing fighter jets were experiences he had never had before.

Indeed, for martial artists, combat is not only a form of training, but also an awakening of the soul and a source of power!

Ye Chu's eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

This fierce battle undoubtedly brought Ye Chu a rich reward.

The application and response of combat skills, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth, allowed his skills to quietly improve in actual combat, and his combat experience, like grass and trees growing wildly in spring, accumulated rapidly and became more and more robust.

After a long while, as the smoke of battle gradually dissipated, Ye Chu smiled gently, his gaze falling tenderly on the enormous giant ape corpse beneath him. He murmured to himself, "And this most precious trophy awaits my collection."

His words conveyed both a sense of composure at the victory and an anticipation for the even greater challenges tonight.

The value of the giant ape in the stone lies not in its boiling blood or the crystal core containing immense power, but in the seemingly ordinary yet mysterious rock that stands proudly atop its head.

When the rock was broken in a skillful way, it was as if an ancient seal was lifted, and a strange object, as beautiful as a natural jade, crystal clear and shaped like an ancient pill, was slowly revealed.

It exudes a soft, warm glow, like the most dazzling star in the night sky, inspiring endless imagination.

This object is a peerless treasure formed by the giant ape in the stone over countless years, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, and by a stroke of luck.

In ancient legends, it possesses incredible power, capable of greatly enhancing a martial artist's qi and blood, making them even more formidable and enabling them to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

Ye Chu gently held the essence, which was no bigger than a thumb, his eyes flashing with undisguised amazement.

He thought to himself, "Such a rare item, once it appears in the world, will surely cause an unprecedented storm. Countless powerful people will probably go crazy for it and spare no effort to possess it."

"Now, this crystal core and all the other treasures are in my hands!"

As Ye Chu spoke softly, he swiftly organized the crystal cores and those priceless treasures, putting them all into his pocket.

"The remaining few hours will require my utmost effort to further enhance my strength!"

He murmured to himself without the slightest hesitation.

Immediately, Ye Chu used the stone ape's enormous body as the foundation for his cultivation. He sat cross-legged and slowly absorbed the essence of heaven and earth contained within the stone ape, integrating it into his own body.

……

Meanwhile, the turmoil in Zhenhai City continues, with new waves of change breaking out.

Numerous reporters flooded the gates of Parkson Group, crowding the area so tightly they could barely move, all hoping to get a first look and seize the opportunity for scooping up the latest news. However, Parkson Group's doors remained firmly shut, refusing to open their doors to anyone, no matter how much the reporters shouted or knocked.

Undeterred, the reporters changed direction and marched in a large group to the main gate of the Zhenhai Municipal Government. There, they finally managed to corner the spokesperson for Zhenhai City.

A reporter eagerly asked, "Mr. Spokesperson, what is your opinion on the murder of the Zhenhai City Martial Arts Tournament champion?"

Another reporter followed up, asking, "Yes, Mr. Spokesperson, we're all very curious to know, can the rules established by the older generation of martial artists really be used as an excuse for murder?"

The spokesperson's expression was slightly somber, yet he forced a smile, striving to uphold the dignity and respectability of the Zhenhai Municipal Government. However, the reporter's relentless questioning seemed to offer him no respite whatsoever.

"Speaker!"

The reporter's voice was sharp and direct.

"If in future martial arts tournaments the championship is no longer monopolized by the sons of certain wealthy families, will the champions who emerge victorious face a threat to their lives?"

His words were full of doubt and provocation.

Then, another pointed question was raised.

"In this light, can we conclude that this so-called martial arts competition is nothing more than a game for the sons of wealthy families, a contest of power and money?"

The reporter's gaze was sharp as a knife, seemingly intent on stripping away all pretense and disguise.

"Shouldn't we be dedicated to discovering and nurturing truly talented martial arts talents, allowing them to shine on this land, instead of letting it all be tainted by money and power?"

Each question struck the speaker like a hammer blow, leaving him with no way to evade them or give an easy answer.

"Gentlemen! Gentlemen!"

The spokesperson finally got a chance to speak.

"Please listen to me, everyone. We are already investigating the situation with all our might!"
