I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 5: Ferocious Beasts, Martial Artists, and Awakened Ones!
A transcendent awakener?
Jiang He's heart skipped a beat!
I never expected that the mental hospital would be full of hidden talents, including the legendary Awakened One!
Moreover, these three old men seemed quite normal and did not appear to be mentally ill.

"correct!"

"These three are definitely not ordinary people, since they were able to kidnap Yun Yanchen. Perhaps we can learn more about this world from them."

He secretly changed his mind.

"Third brother, I don't know why, but after waking up, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things... In my mind, I only remember the three of you. Could you tell me what a transcendent awakener is?"

Jiang He asked, "And what about those monsters on TV?"

"Looks like you really have amnesia."

"But the fact that you still remember us means you're not a bad person."

Zhang San sighed, then said, "It's good that you have amnesia. It means your past has become a blank sheet of paper, and you can forget all your troubles... Come on, let's go back to the ward. Today, your brother is going to scribble all over this blank sheet of paper!"

Return to the ward.

Zhang San then began to tell his story at length.

"All of this dates back to 30 years ago..."

"I was only 20 years old then, in the prime of my youth, and I had a beautiful girlfriend named Xiaofang... Suddenly one day, the world changed—earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, volcanic eruptions..."

“The whole world is engulfed in a massive catastrophe!”

"This disaster lasted for three days, turning countless cities into ruins and causing countless deaths and injuries."

"However... an even greater disaster is about to strike!"

“Many powerful monsters have suddenly appeared all over the world. These monsters possess terrifying power, and ordinary firearms are completely ineffective against them. Even many ordinary animals, beasts, and even plants have undergone evolutionary mutations!”

People named these monsters "ferocious beasts"!
These ferocious beasts possess extremely high aggression and have developed a high level of intelligence. Countless birds and beasts have evolved into ferocious beasts, which are frantically attacking human cities.

Vast numbers of villages, towns, and even some small countries were wiped out overnight!
Island nations and countries near tropical rainforests are particularly vulnerable to the most severe attacks by ferocious beasts!
Only a few military powers can barely resist the attacks of ferocious beasts by relying on a large number of firearms and nuclear weapons as a deterrent.

But people soon discovered...

Even nuclear weapons can only cause very limited damage to those powerful ferocious beasts!
On the contrary, the pollution from nuclear radiation caused some ferocious beasts to mutate, giving birth to some even more powerful "kings of ferocious beasts".

Zhang San said, "Take the eight-headed hydra king in the Pacific Ocean for example. It was originally an ancient creature that was sleeping in the deep sea of ​​the Pacific Ocean. After it was awakened, it was only at the king level. The fact that it was able to evolve to the king level was largely due to the power of nuclear radiation pollution it absorbed."

"Hey!"

Li Si sneered: "Isn't that all the work of those little devils in Japan? As an island nation, it's already extremely difficult to establish a base city and survive, yet they insist on dumping nuclear waste into the sea. Weren't the several large-scale beast tide attacks that we suffered all caused by the Hydra Emperor?"

Wang Mazi nodded in agreement, saying, "If you ask me, Fusang's miserable life is self-inflicted. They will be destroyed by the Eight-Headed Serpent King sooner or later."

Jiang He: "It's already destroyed. I saw the news this morning; it was gone on the 16th."

"Good job!"

The three little old men clapped and cheered.

Zhang San suggested that they go out for drinks to celebrate that night.

This suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by Li Si and Wang Mazi, but Jiang He asked in confusion, "Doesn't our hospital not allow patients to come and go as they please?"

"How could a small hospital like Anning Hospital possibly contain us?"

Zhang San then began to popularize the "worldview" of the rivers.

The world underwent a great change, causing plants and animals to mutate and evolve, and ferocious beasts to run rampant.

Can be the same.

Among humanity, some "Awakened Ones" emerged, and people discovered that ancient martial arts could actually be practiced in this era... With the efforts and battles of those "Awakened Ones" and martial arts masters, humanity gradually gained a foothold.

Until the establishment of one "base city" after another.

In their struggle against ferocious beasts, humanity finally gained a chance to catch its breath and develop.

"According to some experts' research, after that disaster, there was 'spiritual energy' in the world. The evolution and mutation of plants and animals are related to spiritual energy, and the ability of martial artists to cultivate is also related to spiritual energy."

"The awakened ones are more complicated."

"Some experts have pointed out that awakened individuals may be born with a certain power in their genes and bloodline. Under the stimulation of spiritual energy, this power is awakened, which is why various abilities are born." This is somewhat similar to the setting of some novels about "spiritual energy revival".

Jiang He pondered for a moment.

He asked, "Third Brother is a fire-type transcendent awakener, so what about Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother?"

Li Si said, "Awakened ones are extremely rare, one in ten thousand. I cultivate martial arts... Of course, my specialty is poison. The nickname in the martial arts world, 'The Deadly Poison Master,' belongs to your fourth brother!"

Wang Mazi leaned closer and chuckled, "Sixth Brother, guess... why I'm called Wang Mazi instead of Wang Wu?"

Jiang He hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Is it because Fifth Brother, your face is covered in pockmarks?"

Wang Mazi: "..."

He does indeed have quite a few pockmarks on his face.

But that's not the point.

Wang Mazi said, "Because I am skilled in swordsmanship, and in the martial arts world, there is a senior swordsman whose skills have reached the level of sainthood, named Wang Wu the Great Swordsman. If I were to be called Wang Wu, I would share the same name as him."

Wang Wu, the Great Swordsman?

This name sounds familiar... There was such a person in the history of my "hometown"!
At this time.

There was a knock on the door.

Feng Shaoyu led the security guards to ward 207 and said, "Old Zhang, Old Li, Old Wang, the hospital director wants to see you in his office."

The three old men stood up at the same time.

Jiang He quickly stopped the three of them and said in a low voice, "Brothers, don't go... It must be people from the police station and the Martial Arts Administration who have come to the hospital."

Zhang San smiled confidently and said calmly, "Sixth Brother, don't panic. Those good-for-nothings can't do anything to your brother... Get ready, and I'll take you out for drinks when I get back."

Wait until night.

Jiang He ate dinner and took his medicine.

He even went for a two-lap run at night.

A balanced diet, appropriate medication, and appropriate exercise.

Add another 30kg to your strength!

Strength: 260kg
Even after returning to the ward, Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi still hadn't come back.

"Could it be that these three guys were taken away by the police and the Martial Arts Administration?"

Jiang He was somewhat worried.

He even planned to have Li Si and Wang Mazi guide him in martial arts training... What use is great strength if you don't understand martial arts?

He left the ward and mingled into room 209 next door.

Old Wang and that male patient who eats feces live in room 209; I think his name is Chen Yu.

"what?"

Old Wang, speaking in a local dialect, asked in surprise, "Why are you still here, you little rascal? Didn't they say Old Zhang and the others were locked in a dark room? Why weren't you locked up with them?"

"???"

Jiang He returned to 207 with a sorrowful expression.

He had just walked in...

boom!
I felt a sharp pain in my neck, as if I had been hit.

He turned around with difficulty, and vaguely saw three faces wearing stockings...

Then everything went black, and I passed out!
