…… Ye Chen turned his head, his eyes chilling as he looked upon the four tiger-like monsters. From their fur and the color of their pupils, he rapidly identified them: four Blood-Tooth Tigers of the 1H3 tier! At Tier 1H1, a Blood-Tooth Tiger was Level 50!
At Tier 1H2, it was Level 150! At Tier 1H3, it was Level 300! Their potential exploded initially, then gradually increased exponentially.
The rate of evolution would slow down later unless the virus within their bodies mutated, which would cause a rapid surge in the evolution speed once more. These four 1H3 tier tiger monsters before him belonged to the Blood-Tooth Tiger species—ferocious, brutal, bloodthirsty, and extremely difficult to deal with. They shouldn't appear in a city; there must be a nearby zoo.
Roar~~ The four formidable Blood-Tooth Tigers stared greedily at Ye Chen, who was not far off, their blood-red eyes fixed on him. An intensely rich fragrance emanated from the tiny creature, drifting into their noses. The stronger the animal, the thicker its aura of blood!
Some evolved animals could see living beings through walls. In their eyes, any creature with a life response appeared as a mass of fiercely burning flames. The stronger the life energy, the more brilliant the flame—shining like a dazzling sun.
Weaker creatures appeared dim and lackluster. The street spanned over a thousand meters. Given the running speed of the four Blood-Tooth Tigers, they could cover the distance in about two seconds.
A cruel glint flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. A silver ring on his hand brightened, transforming into a battle saber, entirely blood-red, nearly a zhang long (about 3 meters) and 10 centimeters wide—it looked incredibly fierce! Ye Chen gripped the hilt, resting the saber on his shoulder.
This blood-red battle saber weighed approximately 5,000 grams, ten thousand jin. It was forged from an unknown, highly compressed metal. A Level 10 human could barely cradle it, let alone lift it; it was like an ordinary middle-aged man able to hold a 100-pound stone but finding it incredibly hard to raise it overhead, let alone swing it.
However, with Ye Chen’s current strength level of 600, wielding it was effortless. He chose not to use his energy pistol for two reasons. First, to kill a Blood-Tooth Tiger with the pistol, he would need to blow its head apart.
Otherwise, given its 15-meter height, it would require being riddled with holes to die, rendering the corpse worthless for control by the Black Leech Worm! Second, he was currently in a Superman Gene state. While the Ant Gene amplified strength and increased the toughness and function of bones and other organs, his hearing and vision remained at the Level 30 physical constitution level.
With Level 30 senses, he couldn't lock onto the Blood-Tooth Tigers' movements; he could only perceive a blurry shadow. Ye Chen sighed internally. Fusing only one gene inherently created flaws.
If he could fuse the Eagle Gene as well, obtaining the raptor’s vision, it would be perfect. But fusing multiple genes was clearly impossible. One person could only fuse one type.
“Kill!” Ye Chen gripped the saber with one hand. This three-meter-long blood-red saber, scavenged from the spaceship, moved like a blood moon, stirring up a gust of wind with the slightest motion. Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, locking onto one of the Blood-Tooth Tigers.
As he took a short burst of steps, the long black leather boots on his feet burst apart. Boots of that ordinary quality could not withstand his running speed. His figure blurred into an afterimage, swift and ethereal.
Since he held the blood-red battle saber weighing over ten thousand jin, the earth trembled slightly with every footfall. The entire gravity of his body concentrated on his small feet, illustrating the immense destructive power unleashed. “Shi!” the Blood-Tooth Tiger growled, emitting a simple sound, roughly translating to "Die." However, its control over its throat seemed unskilled; its Mandarin was not standard.
Generally, once monsters reached Level 100, they could control all their muscles to mimic various sounds, much like human ventriloquism. Monsters at this level possessed simple intelligence and were not so easily slain. Ye Chen’s eyes turned cold.
He stomped the ground; the area within a zhang radius fractured. He leaped upward like an arrow released from a bowstring, arriving at the Blood-Tooth Tiger’s neck. The blood-red saber swept out, leaving behind a trail like a crimson crescent moon.
While this saber was a relatively low-grade relic cold weapon, it was more than sufficient for dealing with the Blood-Tooth Tiger! “Roar!” The Blood-Tooth Tiger felt an icy sensation on its neck. The terrifying killing intent made every hair on its body stand on end.
It instinctively roared, planting its four paws on the ground and violently rocketing backward, shattering several buildings. These reinforced concrete structures crumbled as if they were mere tofu dregs. A single Blood-Tooth Tiger weighed about 300 tons.
Initially, at 15 meters tall, it might have only weighed 30 tons, but as its strength increased, its muscle fibers and internal tendons and bones compressed and strengthened, becoming denser and more refined. Thus, despite its height, its weight reached a staggering 300 tons, equivalent to 600,000 jin! However, its inherent constitution level was 300, giving it a total strength of 3 million jin, so its movements remained agile and unaffected by its weight.
For Ye Chen, although his constitution had increased to Level 30, his height had not changed much. However, his internal muscle fibers and bones were much more refined. Despite his modest height of 1.8 meters, his weight reached around 3,000 jin, like a massive stone, reflecting the incredible density of his muscles!
According to scientific theory, if a person’s muscle density reached a certain point, even bullets couldn't penetrate! It was like compressing a fist-sized wad of cotton into the size of a sesame seed—harder than iron! Hence, those reaching General level required newly constructed housing in base cities, with floors smelted from steel, ensuring extreme hardness.
Ordinary wooden planks would collapse the moment one lay down. However, Ye Chen had achieved a degree of control over his body. He sat on a wooden stool, bracing his feet on the ground in a horse stance, so the stool would not break.
Experts like him lived on the edge, rarely having time to enjoy soft comforts. Furthermore, in genuinely high-end luxury venues, tables, chairs, and benches were forged in the steel smelting workshops of the production department, rendering them immensely durable and perfectly capable of supporting him. Moreover, as his constitution improved, his muscle fibers became tougher.
One gram of his muscle fiber now delivered the power that 100 grams used to produce. At Level 30, his physical strength was 300 times greater than before, and his tendons were 300 times tougher—incredibly resilient. From a distance, Xu Tianguo and the others only saw Ye Chen’s figure flash and vanish into thin air.
Immediately afterward, they heard a loud "Boom!" as the ground ruptured nearby. This was followed by the whistling sound of the saber slicing through the air, and then they saw a building explode in the distance. Throughout this entire process, they couldn't see Ye Chen or the monsters; they only saw surrounding buildings being continuously destroyed, massive craters occasionally appearing on the ground, and then the resounding crash of impact echoing from above.
Fast! Too fast! So fast that even someone with Xu Tianguo’s ordinary constitution couldn't perceive anything!
Bang! Ye Chen stamped his foot, surging toward that Blood-Tooth Tiger. Although his retina could only capture a vague shadow, his battle intuition allowed him to lock onto the general position of the creature.
He moved instantly, and the blood-red battle saber bloomed like a fleeting Tanyue flower, dazzling and colorful—a smile from the Grim Reaper! Thwack, thwack! The Blood-Tooth Tiger froze.
Its neck was shredded, opening a small gap, and blood sprayed out as the blood-red saber pierced deep, striking the center of its throat! "Kuh..." The Blood-Tooth Tiger looked at Ye Chen in disbelief, trying to roar, but with the saber lodged in its throat, only a sound of crushing bone emerged. Its body swayed, and it fell down in defeat, the ground shaking violently and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Ye Chen descended from the air, walked to the tiger's neck, gripped the hilt in reverse, and slowly pulled the saber out. Crimson blood streamed down the weapon, dripping from the tip onto the ground. The autumn wind rose, sweeping through the desolate street.
The world was chillingly silent! The cold, impassive expression of Ye Chen was reflected in the blood-red saber. Bang, bang!
A Level 1H1, Level 50 constitution Blood-Tooth Tiger struggled out from the nearby swarm of insects and rushed toward Ye Chen. After glancing at him, the small black creature lodged in its skull hurriedly said, "They can't hold on much longer. I'll switch to this body first!" Ye Chen nodded.
Just as the Blood-Tooth Tiger prepared to crouch down for the body transfer, its movement halted. Then, Xiao Hei's anxious voice rang out, "I forgot! I can only control monsters up to ten times stronger than myself.
If it exceeds that limit, I can’t control it!" Ye Chen remembered, frowning slightly. "You go help first. I'll collect this corpse later, and I will speed up your improvement when we return!" Xiao Hei responded, then scurried back toward the swarm of insects.
Ye Chen reversed the blood-red saber, planting the tip into the ground. He walked to the Blood-Tooth Tiger, grabbed one of its claws, gave a mighty swing, and tossed it toward Xiao Hei, landing it on the spaceship. The spaceship was enormous and perfectly capable of holding the Blood-Tooth Tiger's massive body.
Whoosh! Just then, a sound of air being broken cut through the quiet. Before Ye Chen could even turn, a powerful force struck his back, sending him flying like a cannonball.
He slammed into a nearby building, penetrating through the windows and walls, finally crashing inside the structure. Several zombies were swimming inside this building. The moment they heard the sound of shattering glass, before they could look up, Ye Chen’s body collided with them, instantly smashing them into pulp.
Ye Chen grabbed the nearby wall, fighting desperately to stop his momentum. He smashed through three or four more walls before planting his feet on the floor; his soles sank deep into the flooring, skidding nearly twenty meters before finally stopping. Fortunately, his strength and physical body strength were both Level 600.
If his physical strength were still Level 30, that impact would have pulverized him. Moreover, if only strength increased without body hardening, that surge in power would be useless—merely a form of stimulus. Bang!
Ye Chen thrust off with both feet and shot out like a shell, leaping down seven or eight stories. He landed in the insect swarm below, shaking the earth and creating a large crater. Several darkly colored insects with tough shells and vibrant, poisonous hues were instantly crushed into mud beneath him.
"Three minutes left..." Ye Chen's eyes turned ice-cold, thick killing intent boiling within them.
