High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Even Captain Lei raised an eyebrow: "If I remember correctly, this training only lasted five days. You killed over a hundred Tier 1 monsters in five days?"

"Um."

The group gasped, instinctively thinking it was fake, but Song Chen had just genuinely demonstrated his strength; he was indeed capable of doing that.

Zhao Hu exclaimed with admiration, "Damn, I killed five Tier 1 monsters during my training years, and that was in ten days!"

Captain Lei suddenly laughed and patted Song Chen on the shoulder: "Well, I was thinking of taking care of the newcomer, but a fierce one has come along."

Song Chen looked at him: "Captain, what's the next move?"

Captain Lei looked into the depths of the ruins in the distance, where the roars of even more strange beasts could be faintly heard. He grinned and said, "How do we fight? It's simple, just go all out."

He pointed to the sky: "Don't worry too much about high-level alien beasts. This matter is too big. The higher-ups have specially allocated a satellite to Anning City to provide information. If high-level alien beasts launch a surprise attack, they will notify you in advance."

……

Over the next few hours, the Fierce Tiger Squad witnessed what true carnage was.

Song Chen was like a tireless killing machine, charging at the forefront, killing the fastest and the most ruthlessly. Whether it was a low-grade or high-grade first-level enemy, none could withstand more than three strikes from him.

The combination of lightning powers and the Bloodbath Blade Technique is a perfect match. With one slash, lightning crackles, instantly paralyzing the beast, and then the second slash reaps its life. He can even handle more than a dozen beasts of the same level at the same time in group battles with ease.

At first, Zhang Lie and the others thought of helping, but later they realized it wasn't necessary at all. Then, they started following Song Chen around and picking up the scraps.

Song Chen eliminated the main force, while they eliminated the stragglers, their teamwork as seamless as that of long-time teammates.

In one afternoon, they killed nearly a hundred first-tier alien beasts, with Song Chen alone killing sixty of them.

As darkness fell, the seven men, covered in blood, retreated back to the armored vehicle.

Zhang Lie plopped down on the ground, panting heavily: "Damn it, I've been a martial artist for ten years, and this is the first time I've seen a monster like this."

Zhao Hu smiled憨厚ly, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Song Chen.

Li Xiao and Zhou Li leaned against the car, too exhausted to speak, but their eyes were bright as they kept looking at Song Chen.

Captain Lei lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, looked at Song Chen, and suddenly asked, "Kid, are you really only at level one?"

Song Chen paused for a moment, then replied, "My Qi and Blood value is 2.2, and I'm at the initial stage of the first rank."

Captain Lei stared at him for a few seconds, then laughed: "Bullshit! Who says a first-tier beginner can kill a first-tier superior like cutting vegetables? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Song Chen didn't say anything.

Captain Lei exhaled a puff of smoke: "But it doesn't matter. No matter what your strength is, I'll remember your kindness today."

He pointed at Zhang Lie and the others: "These guys would have all been injured today if you hadn't been there to protect them."

"Alright, get in the car. It's getting dark; it's time to go back."

Seven people squeezed into the vehicle, the armored vehicle started up, and headed towards the camp.

Song Chen leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and opened the system panel.

Current kill count: 413 points.

The beasts outside the city were significantly stronger than those inside, with each one bringing an average of nearly seven kill points.

Song Chen's lips curled up slightly, pleased that getting into the city was indeed efficient.

……

Late at night, Song Chen sat on the bed with her eyes closed.

The system interface unfolded before his eyes, a semi-transparent light screen gleaming faintly in the darkness.

413 points is enough to buy a lot of things. Spiritual Energy Potions cost 20 points each, so I can buy 20 bottles. I'll increase my health first. My special abilities and combat skills are enough for now. I'll wait until I have more kill points to improve them later.

He took a deep breath and tapped his fingers twenty times in the air.

[Confirm purchase of 20 Spirit Vitality Potions? This will consume 400 Kill Points]

"confirm."

A series of flashes of light appeared, and twenty small, transparent bottles materialized out of thin air, arranged neatly in front of him. Each bottle contained a pale golden liquid that glowed faintly in the darkness.

Song Chen picked up a bottle, unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back and drank it down, the familiar burning sensation exploding in his stomach.

But this time, he didn't feel the same pain as before. His body had adapted to the intensification, and the burning sensation felt more like a warm current flowing through his blood vessels to his limbs and bones.

He closed his eyes, feeling the changes within his body. His blood and qi were surging, his life core was pulsating, and every cell was greedily absorbing that golden energy.

Ten minutes later, the effect of the first bottle wore off, so he picked up the second bottle, then the third, the fourth...

Bottle after bottle, he drank those priceless spiritual energy potions like water. If anyone saw him, they would surely scold him for wasting such precious resources.

By the sixth bottle, the effect began to weaken. The stronger his blood and qi were, the lower the improvement from the medicine. By the tenth bottle, the effect was even more pronounced, but he did not stop and continued to drink it.

Fifteen bottles, eighteen bottles, twenty bottles.

As the last bottle of liquid slid down her throat, Song Chen opened her eyes.

Outside the window, the sky was already beginning to lighten; he had absorbed knowledge all night.

He stood up and stretched his body. It was different, completely different. He clenched his fists and could feel the surging power of blood and qi within his body. His strength was more than twice that of yesterday, and every move he made had an explosive feel to it.

He walked to the simple mirror in the corner. The person in the mirror startled him. It was still the same face, but the temperament was completely different. His eyes were deeper, his skin had a faint glow, and he looked as if he had been cleansed, exuding a restrained sense of power.

He closed his eyes, felt the Qi and blood in his body, opened the panel, and found that the Qi and blood value had reached 4.5.

From 2.2 to 4.5, twenty bottles of Spirit Energy Potion increased my stats by a total of 2.3. The first five bottles increased my stats by 1.2, while the last fifteen bottles only increased them by 1.1.

The effect worsened as time went on, which was expected, but a Qi and Blood value of 4.5 was already far beyond that of people of the same age.

Song Chen took a deep breath. It was good now, but not enough. 4.5 was still far from the second tier, and even further from the third tier, but he had time.

Song Chen pushed open the door and stepped out of the camp. The morning sun shone on her, warm and comforting.

At the rendezvous point, the rest of the Fierce Tiger Squad had already arrived.

Captain Lei's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Song Chen: "You..."

He stared at Song Chen, his brows furrowing.

"What's wrong?"

Captain Lei took two steps closer and looked him up and down: "You kid... you seem different overnight?"

Zhang Lie also came over, looking at Song Chen with a puzzled expression: "He has changed. His complexion is much better. No, his aura has changed. It's stronger."

Zhao Hu scratched his head sheepishly: "Really? I can't see it."

Wang Hai pushed up his glasses: "The Qi and Blood value has indeed improved. Now... it's at least 4.0 or higher."

The others gasped in astonishment. Such a dramatic improvement overnight?
