In an instant, it was as if there was a dam sealing his soul in the depths of Meng Chao's brain, and intersecting cracks appeared.
Two rampaging waves of energy gushed out of the cracks and spread through his entire body. They continuously cleared his spirit meridians and lit up his spirit acupoints to create a profound, complicated, and brand new spirit energy magnetic field.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth, and spirit tattoos bloomed on his body. They looked like tattoos that were carved by elites with all their strength, and they drew out the outline of his explosive body.
The high-calorie food that was enough for more than ten people to eat for three days and three nights was instantly devoured by his hungry cells.
Fortunately, the two mine exploration teams had compressed the high-calorie food to prevent themselves from being trapped underground for a long period of time. Even a piece of food the size of a fingernail could support a normal soldier for an entire day of high-intensity work.
This food was enough for him to complete the first creation, circulation, and activation of Mind Lightning and Beast Blood Combustion.
"Big Brother Lin …"
Meng Chao had successfully mastered the brand new skills, but his expression was a little gloomy.
If it were not for the fact that Lin Chuan had talked to him through the night and taught him martial arts without holding back, his fighting strength would not have increased so quickly. Many of the one-star second-year superhumans from the alliance of the five universities and the broken-star superhumans who had been in society for more than twenty years were not his opponents.
Shao Jianqing and the other specially recruited fighting course students from the alliance of the five universities had lost when they sparred against him.
That was why Kindling had given him such a high evaluation for the second segment of the Fight for the Ultimate Style, which allowed him to awaken Mind Lightning.
'Big Brother Lin, in the beginning, you tried your best to stop me from joining this mission because you were prepared to kill me and didn't want to drag me into it, right?
'You even prepared a package for me at the last moment so that I could escape. Did you not want me to see your ugliest side?'
While he was thinking about this, Kindling shone in front of him again.
[Fight for the Ultimate Style, fourth segment, start.
[Mission Introduction: During the second and third segments, you have already let countless people understand the power of the Ultimate Style against low-grade superhumans and superbeasts. Now, it is time for you to challenge even stronger enemies.
[Mission Goal: Kill a Hell Beast.
[Mission Reward: Thirty thousand contribution points. Continue repairing ten main meridians and clear one dragon meridian. Choose any three skills, and their Skillfulness will increase by one level.]
'This is …'
Meng Chao's eyes sparkled.
If he could complete the fourth segment of the Fight for the Ultimate Style, he would be able to repair more than forty main meridians. Besides, he would also have dragon meridians, which were incredibly mysterious and powerful, and many superhumans could never clear them in their entire lives!
Whether or not they could clear the dragon meridians was the key to whether or not they could break through to higher realms.
"Right now, the White Spirit only has three tails. It hasn't matured yet, so it's a Hell Beast.
"Big Brother Lin, I'll definitely kill the White Spirit and beat you awake!"
Meng Chao shouted. His spirit flames rushed out of the spirit tattoos like a flood and surged madly around him.
Not far away, Qin Hu leaped into the air and whistled. Dozens of Shooting Star Blades trembled and swayed as they circled around him.
Qin Hu was delighted. His beard fluttered, and with happy steps, he jumped in front of Meng Chao. "I'm not someone who likes to boast, but I'm really a f * cking genius. Brat, do you feel my spirit flames surging? I've been reborn, and my fighting strength has increased by leaps and bounds? What the heck? Why do I feel like your spirit flames are surging? You've been reborn, and your fighting strength has increased by leaps and bounds?!"
When Qin Hu saw the dazzling and exaggerated spirit tattoos around Meng Chao and the spirit flames that were even more dazzling than his own, he was dumbfounded.
"B-Brat, are you really a one-star superhuman?" he could not help but mumble.
Meng Chao smiled faintly.
Great confidence and surging fighting spirit shone in his eyes.
"The so-called realms like one-star spirit tattoos, two-star spirit transformation, three-star spirit gathering, Earth Realm, and Heaven Realm are just things the pioneers of the old era created. They're the standards to measure the powerful people of this era, but I …"
Meng Chao paused for a moment and forced himself to swallow the words "from the future". He thought about it for a while before he said firmly, "I will definitely not be bound by realms!
"It doesn't matter whether it's a Hell Beast, a Heaven Realm superhuman, or even an Apocalyptic God or a Deity Realm superhuman. I don't care. If anyone tries to stop me from creating a brand new future, I will destroy them!"
Qin Hu shuddered, and respect rose in him.
"Boy, it's been a long time since I've seen a boy as ambitious as you. If I'm not wrong, are you the legendary existence destined to save the world?"
Qin Hu said excitedly. "Since you've already broken through the limits of realms, and your fighting strength is ten times stronger than mine, I'll go and save Lu Siya later, and you'll go and fight against Lin Chuan and the White Spirit. In any case, if you round up the numbers, your chances of winning are 100%. We'll decide this easily and happily!"
Meng Chao instantly felt discouraged and put on a fawning smile.
"I'm just joking. Mr. Hu, you're already decades old. You've fought many battles and seen many things. How could you not tell that I'm just boasting and encouraging myself? "Wow, after you subdued the Shooting Star Blades, I feel like you've been reborn and regained your youth. You've improved by leaps and bounds, and you can reach Heaven Realm at any moment now! "Later, I'll go and save Lu Siya. You can go and fight against Lin Chuan and the White Spirit. Once I make arrangements for Lu Siya, I'll immediately come and provide reinforcements!"
While they talked about their strategy, their hands were busy. Soon, they packed up their equipment and returned to the deepest part of the underground cliff.
Right when they landed, they smelled a thick stench of blood from the subsurface plasma.
They looked at each other and became wary. They crawled forward slowly on all fours while sniffing for traces of blood and the White Spirit's presence. At the same time, they used the subsurface plasma to hide themselves.
Soon, they found the mangled carcasses of dozens of Slit-mouthed Anacondas.
Based on the viscosity and corrosiveness of the acid, they had just been killed by Lin Chuan and the White Spirit.
It was truly a terrifying and bloody battle.
The two of them looked at each other and lowered their bodies even further.
Meng Chao drew closer to the carcasses of the Slit-mouthed Anacondas. He nearly stuck his head into the ghastly wounds.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Hu whispered. "We have to hurry up and catch up to them. Otherwise, the subsurface plasma is so thick that it'll be easy for us to lose them."
"Injury examination."
Meng Chao's eyes burned intensely. It was as if there were rings of light shining around his pupils, causing them to dilate and shrink. He observed them carefully for a long time and even used a knife and forceps to flip open the Slit-mouthed Anacondas' wounds. In the end, he came to a conclusion. "Lin Chuan and the White Spirit are both injured.
"To gain Lu Siya's trust, Lin Chuan made her reveal all her trump cards. She was already heavily injured by Shen Yulong, so it's not easy for her to recover.
"The White Spirit isn't a superbeast known for its fighting strength. At the very least, she isn't now.
"They had to fight against so many Slit-mouthed Anacondas that were nourished by the Red Radiance Jade mine, so they naturally had to pay a devastating price.
"Look at the wounds left by the chain spears. At the start, they were rather accurate, and all of them were fatal in one shot. But gradually, they became messy, and the wounds turned into the shape of plum blossoms. This means that Lin Chuan's spirit was being depleted quickly, and it was difficult for him to gather all his destructive power into the needle-sized holes.
"Based on the angle of the wounds, Lin Chuan's left shoulder blade should have suffered a new wound. Perhaps he was bitten by a Slit-mouthed Anaconda, which is why he can't exert force in his left arm. That's why the angle of the spear was slightly off, and he was forced to fire a second shot.
"I understand Lin Chuan's fighting style. He's a person who pursues perfection. If he wasn't heavily injured, he wouldn't allow such a flaw to appear on his body.
"It's the same for the White Spirit. Look, the Slit-mouthed Anacondas' corpses were torn to shreds by their claws. It's clear that this is the style of a canine-type monster.
"But there's very little wolf fur on the first few corpses, which means that the White Spirit was killed in one shot. At the very least, she was moving around really quickly, so she wasn't held back by the Slit-mouthed Anacondas.
"And the last two corpses have a lot of wolf fur on them. This means that the White Spirit is getting slower, and it's fighting against the Slit-mouthed Anacondas.
"Ah, there's a tuft of wolf fur between the Slit-mouthed Anaconda's teeth. A small piece of flesh was torn off. This is the skin tissue of a canine-type monster. Based on its elasticity and extensibility, it should be the skin on its left hind leg. Its left hind leg was bitten!"
Qin Hu listened quietly, and his gaze as he stared at Meng Chao became even stranger.
Meng Chao was a little stunned. "Mr. Hu, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that Shen Rongfa is really a bastard. He actually caused me to provoke a monster like you. If I don't die from this disaster, the first thing I'm going to do when I go back is to beat him up again!"
When Qin Hu said this, he thought that something was wrong. He scratched his goatee and said, "But if I personally beat up my brother-in-law, I won't be able to explain it to my wife, and she'll argue with me later. How about this? I'll tell you where Shen Rongfa is hiding, and you can go … Oh, you can't. You're already a superhuman, so you can't beat up normal people. Have your dad search for a few strong harvesters and beat him up to help me vent my anger.
"When my wife throws a tantrum, I'll go to your house and eat with you. Then, I'll get a makeup artist to make you look like you're covered in bruises. Then, I'll take a picture of you and tell my wife that I've already taken revenge for my brother-in-law. That'll be killing two birds with one stone, and everyone will be happy."
Meng Chao was stunned for a long time before he said, "Wow, Mr. Hu, you're so sinister!"
"Then, do you agree to it?" Qin Hu asked.
"Of course I agree to it. How could I not agree to such a sinister plan? Now, we have another reason to win against the White Spirit and continue living with a smile on our faces! "
As they spoke, they moved through the Slit-mouthed Anacondas' territory.
The subsurface plasma ahead of them was still thick, and they could not even see their fingers.
But there were still drops of human and canine-type monster blood on the ground. It was very fresh, and it gave off a faint bloody stench.
Occasionally, they could find a few strands of wolf fur.
Meng Chao cultivated 1,024 branch meridians, so his sight and smell were much sharper than a normal person's.
Qin Hu had been fighting in the wild for many years, so he had a lot of experience in tracking monsters.
Both of them worked together and soon found the corner of the cave that was submerged by the subsurface plasma.
But the corner shone with a faint red light. There were three cracks on the wall, and it was big enough for humans and large monsters to crawl through.
