Tiger Roar Mountain Range

Gravity-Gravity Fruit.

Fujitora the Marine Admiral's fruit from One Piece.

Once cultivated to a certain level,

it granted the ability to pull meteors down from space and smash them into opponents.

"The Gravity-Gravity Fruit! I actually got it so easily?"

Even now, Su Luo still found it hard to believe.

He tentatively released gravity into his surroundings.

The floor beneath his feet immediately let out a series of creaks.

It seemed as though it would collapse the very next second.

Seeing this, he quickly withdrew the gravity.

If the floor collapsed and crushed innocent citizens below, that would be bad.

At the same time he obtained the Gravity Ability,

his Ability Level finally broke through to Transcendent Tier 1.

He had officially become a true Transcendent.

While his physique had been greatly strengthened,

the effects of the Paw Ability had also improved considerably.

After testing it,

Su Luo delightedly discovered that while the Paw Ability had previously only been able to repel air and attacks,

he could now repel fatigue and pain as well.

As he spoke, he pushed the exhaustion from the entire day out of his body, turning it into a transparent balloon.

He raised his hand, pushed open the window, and sent the balloon outside.

Whoever it hit would simply have to count themselves unlucky.

Lying back on the bed, he glanced at his phone.

Then he suddenly realized

that tomorrow was Sunday, and there would be no school.

But he could not afford to idle around.

Without parents to back him up, he had to earn enough for his college living expenses.

Transcendent Tier 1, combined with the Paw Ability and the Gravity Ability,

made him strong enough to leave the city alone and hunt beasts.

"I'm leaving the city tomorrow!"

After making up his mind,

he sent Shen Huaiyue a message.

He told her he had something to do tomorrow and the day after, so he would not be going.

When Shen Huaiyue saw the message, she sent back an OK.

She understood perfectly well that Su Luo was human too, and naturally had personal matters of his own.

Dawn had only just broken.

The sun had not even fully risen.

Su Luo had already arrived at the city gate.

After leaving the city, he followed a small forest path.

He went all the way to a beast gathering area outside the city.

Tiger Roar Mountain Range.

Legend had it that a Tier 6 Beast was hidden deep within those mountains.

And that all the beasts in the range were led by that Tier 6 Beast.

But after all these years, no one had ever seen it.

So people only treated it as a legend.

Not long after entering the forest,

he spotted five feline Tier 1 Beasts.

They were gathered together, gnawing on something.

Su Luo strode forward, swept his hands, and directly activated the Gravity Ability.

The five feline beasts were instantly pressed to the ground, unable to catch their breath.

When he approached and looked closer, he saw that what they had been gnawing on was a human corpse.

But only human corpses could make beasts eat with such relish.

It was Su Luo's first time seeing the corpse of one of his own kind.

He felt somewhat nauseated, but quickly adapted.

In this world, once humans left the city, one careless misstep could mean death.

He had to adapt quickly.

Seeing Su Luo approach, the five beasts wanted to pounce on him together.

But they were so thoroughly suppressed by gravity that they could not move at all.

"Tenfold Gravity!"

The moment Tenfold Gravity descended,

the five beasts were immediately crushed to death by the sudden force.

Blood and fragments of organs flowed from their mouths, making for a rather horrifying sight.

He crouched down and took out the small knife he had just bought.

He cut open the beasts' heads to see whether there were crystal cores inside.

To Su Luo's surprise,

three crystal cores came from the five beasts.

"My luck is pretty good."

Generally speaking, the higher a beast's rank, the greater the chance of finding a crystal core.

The chance of a Tier 1 Beast producing a crystal core was only around thirty percent.

He had not expected three crystal cores from five beasts this time. His luck was absolutely explosive.

He continued deeper into the mountain range.

Along the way, he saw many mangled remains of corpses that had been gnawed on by beasts.

Besides being killed by beasts,

these people had very likely been murdered after being betrayed by their companions.

That was also why Su Luo did not seek out strangers to form a team with.

Who knew whether they were good or bad?

If he became teammates with someone before figuring them out,

then getting stabbed in the back and losing his life would be nothing but his own fault.

After becoming a Transcendent,

his speed was about five times faster than that of an Ability User.

Then, using the Paw Ability to repel the air beneath his feet, he could move at high speed.

He could quickly sweep clean an entire area.

Before long, he had collected more than ten Level 1 Crystal Cores.

Based on market prices,

a Level 1 Crystal Core sold for around twenty thousand.

A Level 2 Crystal Core sold for around two hundred thousand.

By that calculation, he had earned the equivalent of a Level 2 Crystal Core in this short while.

"Making money is the kingly path. Everything else is but floating clouds."

Very soon, Su Luo had slaughtered every beast on this stretch of mountain.

Then he headed for the next mountain.

The day passed quickly.

Looking at the sunset clouds on the horizon, Su Luo knew it was time to head back.

He weighed the backpack on his back.

The heavy feeling it gave him filled his heart with immense comfort.

"Back to the city!"

Just then!

"Ah!"

A scream tore through the stillness of dusk.

Su Luo's entire body instantly froze.

He looked around, unable to tell where the sound had come from.

Then a burst of hurried footsteps

came from the forest in front of him.

Su Luo stepped forward and cautiously observed first.

So long as it was not a beast above Tier 2, he was not afraid.

He saw a girl in a tight combat suit.

With a high ponytail, she hurried forward.

As she ran, she kept looking back, as if some monstrous flood or savage beast were chasing her.

Su Luo focused his eyes.

The girl's Ability Level was Ability User Tier 8. She was considered a minor genius.

Not long after the girl ran past,

three men followed after her.

"Keep chasing! We absolutely can't let her get away!"

"She still has crystal cores on her! We have to rob every last one from her!"

One of them covered his eye and said resentfully,

"This little bitch actually dared to poke my eye."

"I'll skin her alive!"

Su Luo swept his gaze over them.

All three had reached Transcendent Tier 2.

He immediately understood their identities.

They looked like the sort who specialized in robbing Ability Users.

Others worked their fingers to the bone hunting crystal cores, yet these people insisted on taking a slice of the pie.

People like this deserved to die a thousand deaths.

With an accidental glance,

he saw that each of the three had a large pack on their backs, and all of them seemed stuffed full.

The corners of his lips lifted slightly into a bright smile.

"Getting rid of harm for the people is a duty I cannot refuse!"

He immediately rose and quietly followed them.

The fleeing girl stumbled unsteadily and fell to the ground.

The trio had caught up by then as well.

A Transcendent's speed was not something an Ability User could compare to.

In the blink of an eye,

one of the trio

stepped forward, grabbed the girl by the neck, and lifted her into the air.

"Run? You overestimate yourself!"

"You think a puny Ability User like you can outrun three Transcendents?"

The other two watched the girl with gloating expressions.

It was as though they already knew what awaited her.

The girl glared at the man unwillingly.

Her neck was being strangled, and breathing gradually became difficult.

Her eyes began to roll back, while her legs kicked wildly.

Just then,

a powerful Air Cannon suddenly shot toward the man gripping the girl's neck.
