Chapter 21 Body Tempering Level 3!
In a workshop within the industrial park, a bloodletting tank running through the entire room contained dried blood scabs mixed with viscous contaminated liquid, harboring swarms of cockroach-like secondary aberrations.
"Lin Lu, I'll go in and take a look first. You wait for me outside."
"Why? Don't let my gender fool you, I've also reached the second level of Body Tempering..."
(I created a concept art of a forest deer, which will be used later.)
Ignoring his partner's continued speech, Jiang Feng pushed open the door. At the same time, a rustling sound came from deep within the blood tank, like countless sharp claws scraping against metal.
"ah!!!!"
Before Lin Lu could even finish speaking, she was horrified when she saw the group of mutated cockroaches. The next moment, she felt a burning sensation all over her body, her scalp tingling, and blisters sprouting on her face and limbs like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Even though those secondary aberrations were incapable of launching mental attacks, she broke through her defenses in a state of extreme fear, causing her blood and energy to reverse, which allowed the pollution in the air to rush in.
"Oh no!" Jiang Feng didn't care about anything else, he quickly picked her up in a princess carry and rushed out.
Once Jiang Feng looked away from the mutated cockroaches, the blisters on Lin Lu's body stopped growing. But before Jiang Feng could ask her how she was, everything went black, and she fainted.
Jiang Feng: "........"
He found a well-ventilated and safe corner to settle Lin Lu, and then immediately called Sun Hao to explain the situation.
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and stepped back into the workshop, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
Next-----
The rustling noises resumed, and the next second, a tidal wave of cockroach-shaped mutants surged out of the blood tank.
Jiang Feng licked his lips, his eyes showing no fear, only longing.
Instead of retreating, he advanced. As his blood and qi surged, two dragon-like flames burst forth from his fist, accompanied by blazing red ripples. With just one punch, he blasted a huge gash through the entire blood-red 'wave'.
[Kill 5 Level 1 Aberrations]
[Base Strength permanently increased by 5%!]
Once he reaches the second level of Body Tempering, killing Lesser Aberrations will no longer allow him to stack his passive ability.
Several more punches were unleashed, and wherever the fist wind passed, all the aberrations were instantly blasted through by the high temperature. Their brownish-red scales melted into charred black charcoal, and the monsters were eliminated before they could even make a sound.
For a moment, the air was filled with an unpleasant, burnt smell.
[Kill 6 Level 1 Aberrations]
[Base Strength permanently increased by 6%!]
Having resolved everything, Jiang Feng withdrew the force from his hand.
He let out a long breath, took out the clean water he had obtained from the Voodoo sect, twisted open the cap, and drank half of it.
This thing can quickly replenish the consumed health and mana. He still has many more battles to fight, so he needs to keep his health and mana high at all times.
After confirming that there were no more living mutants here, he left with peace of mind and began searching for the next place.
.........
35 minute later.
"You've come at the right time, could you please call the teacher for me? And also..."
The student from No. 10 Middle School pointed behind Jiang Feng, "This monster is your responsibility from now on... uh."
After telling Jiang Feng what his last wishes were, he completely lost consciousness. Looking at the enormous creature behind him, which was probably three meters tall, Jiang Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
This is a variant infected by some kind of pig-like organism. Judging from its size alone, it should be at the level of a second-degree variant.
However, more than a dozen half-meter-long bone spurs grew on its back, and the original pig's head was replaced by three blood-red mouths full of fangs. Furthermore, eight pink fleshy tendrils with suckers emerged from its abdomen.
Judging from the oppressive aura emanating from it, its true combat power has probably reached the level of a Level 3 Aberration.
No wonder that classmate couldn't beat it.
"Ho—"
Upon seeing the change of personnel, the mutated monster simultaneously unleashed a deafening roar from its three enormous mouths. Its thick hind legs slammed into the ground, and its massive body charged towards Jiang Feng like a tank. The control panels along its path were instantly deformed by the impact, and metal fragments flew everywhere.
Jiang Feng's eyes narrowed, and he slid half a step to the side like a raccoon, barely avoiding the monster's charge.
He then picked up a steel pipe from the ground, stepped forward, and in the instant the monster turned around, he used his speed advantage to channel his qi and blood into the steel pipe in his hand, and smashed it hard into the monster's hind leg joint!
With a crisp "crack," the monster's bones broke, but its massive body remained intact. Instead, it turned around in pain, and the bone spikes on its back swept across, tearing through the air and completely blocking all of Jiang Feng's escape routes.
"Good timing."
Jiang Feng didn't even try to dodge. With a clang, he threw the steel pipe forward. The monster instinctively raised its hand to block.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Feng pulled out a heavy boning knife that he knew all too well from the table next to him.
The next moment, the fire attribute energy of the Flame Collapse Fist and the Twin Flames erupted simultaneously, and the crimson flames instantly enveloped the entire blade.
Jiang Feng began to rush forward.
The intense heat emanating from his body terrified the monster, which hurriedly used its bone spikes to block, but Jiang Feng dodged each attack.
Right in front of the monster, he pushed his legs down hard, and the amazing jumping power of a martial artist made him leap into the air, level with the monster's head. Then, he flipped his wrist, and the blade wrapped in flames pierced the monster's left eye socket with perfect accuracy!
"Awooo—!"
A piercing roar echoed throughout the space, and flames surged wildly into the monster's skull through its eye sockets.
Fire-attribute martial arts are naturally effective against those of other types. After a short while, the monster's massive body suddenly froze, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, twitched twice, and then died.
[Kill 1 Level 3 Aberrations]
[Base Strength Permanently +1%!]
"I didn't expect it to actually be level three."
Jiang Feng smiled silently, finished the other half of the bottle of purified water, pulled out the bloodstained boning knife, and left.
.........
..........
Next.
Jiang Feng swept through the dismemberment area, processing area, sorting area... killing off all kinds of aberrations one by one, while the pleasant system notification sound kept ringing in his mind.
[Kill the Level 1 Aberration]
[Base Strength permanently increased by 1%!]
[Kill the Level 1 Aberration]
[Base Strength permanently increased by 1%!]
"........."
.......
Even a martial artist with the Xuan Bone aptitude like Yuan Guannan would find it difficult to deal with a variant of the same level due to a lack of practical experience.
But Jiang Feng acted as if he had entered his own backyard, and in just 4 hours, he completely ransacked the entire park.
The only pity is that despite killing so many mutants, he didn't find any martial arts techniques or skills, only more than 20,000 Star Sea Coins.
But none of that matters anymore.
Because at a certain moment...
[Kill the Level 2 Aberration]
[Base Strength permanently increased by 1%!]
Symbolizing the extraordinary evil of the 140th level, it transformed into golden light and entered his body, and the familiar burning sensation surged into his heart once again.
With another soft 'click,' a certain constraint within his body was broken once more, and his muscle fibers and bone density were strengthened once more.
He shattered the second barrier to his cultivation with absolute power!
With each breath, the surging blood of a martial artist burned and circulated wildly in his meridians, and before long, new black impurities were expelled from the surface of his body.
