This Body Falls into the Infinite, Life Is the Suffering of Avici (Thanks to Fangcun Zhijian for the Monthly Pass)

Ten minutes earlier.

You had just gone through a life-and-death battle. Combat Proficiency +100!! Body Strengthening Proficiency +50!

Combat (Mid Grade): 50/1000

Body Strengthening (Mid Grade): 452/1000

Combat advanced to Mid Grade. Skill Point +1

As the notification sounded by his ear,

Su Tu felt as though his entire being had transformed at that very moment.

It was as if an invisible shackle had always bound him. Only after breaking free from it now did he belatedly realize it had ever existed.

Every muscle in his body, every motion of raising a hand or lowering an arm, carried an indescribable force. Even the simplest movements could become the fiercest killing moves in Su Tu's hands!!

Su Tu slightly clenched one fist and looked at Ka Sha Shi's towering body. In an instant, hundreds of combat plans flashed through his mind.

The other party's strength and realm were clearly far beyond his own, yet Su Tu only found him "frail."

Every movement, every stance, was riddled with openings!

The feelers on Ka Sha Shi's head swayed from side to side, reflecting the Youth before him in his eyes. His senses were sharp, and he could tell that the ant standing opposite him had changed.

He could not explain why. It was simply a feeling.

The other party was too detached. Though he clearly sensed the gap in their strength, he showed no panic and no fear. Mist filled those eyes. Ka Sha Shi knew that look well—it was the same look he had once used when gazing upon humans.

"You pretentious ant!!" Ka Sha Shi roared, his body bursting forward like a steamroller. The terrifying force made the surrounding walls tremble violently.

Yet instead of retreating before Ka Sha Shi's charge, Su Tu advanced. He crouched, exerted force through his feet, and shot forward in an instant, actually choosing to collide head-on with Ka Sha Shi.

"Overestimating yourself." The ugly insect face sneered. He had not expected the other party to choose a direct clash. Even though his current strength was less than one percent of his peak, it was still not something a mere entry-level martial artist could contend with.

That weak, pathetic body would be crushed into pulp the instant it collided with him!!

He had actually been startled by this brat just now. So he had merely scared himself!

Thinking this, Ka Sha Shi put even more force into his feet. Just as the two were about to crash together, the corners of Su Tu's lips curved upward as he revealed an inexplicable smile.

Then—

Even while rushing forward under that momentum, he forcibly twisted his body. His upper body turned left, while his footwork remained rooted to the ground like buried stakes.

The instant Ka Sha Shi crashed toward him, Su Tu suddenly leaped up and flashed to Ka Sha Shi's side. Then his legs, like swift and vicious sledgehammers, smashed brutally into Ka Sha Shi's mouthparts.

Pfft!!

That was the weakest part of Ka Sha Shi's entire body. Struck heavily without warning, his consciousness blanked for an instant. Blood splattered from his mouthparts, and dark green blood gushed forth.

Naturally, Su Tu gave him no chance to catch his breath. His fists fell like raindrops. Though they appeared disorderly, every blow sent flesh and blood flying from Ka Sha Shi's body and drew out endless wails of pain.

For a moment, he actually forced Ka Sha Shi backward again and again, leaving him in agony.

In that brief instant of mental disorientation, Su Tu had already punched dozens of bloody holes of varying sizes into his body. Hidden force lingered within the wounds, erupting unpredictably and tearing away great chunks of flesh.

"Just as I thought. With an ability like yours, becoming someone else's son, your body has far too many flaws."

Su Tu's voice was icy. In his eyes, Ka Sha Shi's powerful body was covered in fatal weak points.

After gaining Mid Grade Combat, his powers of observation had risen to a new level. He could see that although Ka Sha Shi's reborn body was powerful, the qi throughout it was uneven, like a ragged, broken doll.

He guessed that those places were Ka Sha Shi's weaknesses. Thus, although his attacks had seemed chaotic, every punch had landed precisely on those vulnerable spots.

Moreover, every punch he threw employed the technique of Prajna Seven Kills. One punch carried seven layers of force, and each blow tore away great swaths of flesh.

Just as Su Tu had expected, those places were Ka Sha Shi's weak points. Not only were they extremely fragile, but more importantly, each strike caused Ka Sha Shi's qi to stagnate briefly. That powerful body simply could not display the strength it should have possessed.

Before Su Tu, the strength this body could exert was even inferior to that small body from the beginning.

"Damn it!! Damn it!! Damn it!!"

"If this body hadn't been born prematurely and failed to develop fully, how would an ant like you dare spout such nonsense at me?!"

Ka Sha Shi could not accept being beaten back repeatedly by a martial artist who had merely opened one aperture.

Every attack from the other party, every punch that landed, struck the parts of this body that had yet to fully develop. How could a martial artist who had only just opened an aperture possess such techniques and combat awareness?!

"Could it be..."

A shocking thought suddenly flashed through Ka Sha Shi's mind.

"How is this possible!!"

"How could the human Ancestral Star have a monster like you? Could it be that you've already broken the Three Locks?!"

He screamed in terror.

Su Tu had no idea what the Three Locks he spoke of were. He merely stared coldly and indifferently at him.

"Shh~ A dying insect doesn't need to talk so much!"

Ka Sha Shi's entire body was now a mangled, bloody mess. Yet the instant he heard Su Tu's words, an indescribable rage flashed through his compound eyes.

"Aaaahhh!!! Humans!! Humans!! Why?! Why?! Why do you always use such a degrading name for us?!"

"We are the great Xie Race!!" he roared and howled, like an indignant warrior who had been insulted, carrying an inexplicable sense of desolation.

Yet looking at the monster before him, Su Tu felt only a deep revulsion rising from the depths of his soul.

Su Tu did not know where that feeling came from, but he had no interest in figuring it out now. He only wanted to crush this disgusting monster to death as soon as possible.

"Come, kill me!" Ka Sha Shi suddenly spread his arms and bared his neck, as though actively seeking death.

This body was underdeveloped. He intended to discard it and start over!

But Su Tu did not strike immediately. It was as if he had seen through his thoughts. The monster before him possessed a means of resurrection. Even if he killed this body, the scene from before would likely repeat itself.

Su Tu recalled the sight of Ka Sha Shi being reborn from the girl's belly. There were two more such girls, which meant Ka Sha Shi still had two more chances to be reborn.

With that thought, Su Tu lightly pushed off with his feet and rushed toward the two girls bound to the twisted vines.

Ka Sha Shi's expression changed drastically. He wanted to stop Su Tu, but this body of his was underdeveloped, and the parts Su Tu had shattered could no longer regenerate.

He thought of Zhang Meng and wanted to capture her to threaten Su Tu, but Zhang Meng was already nowhere to be seen in the room.

While they had been fighting, Zhang Meng had fled so as not to hold Su Tu back. By now, she had reached a safe place and called the police.

And Su Tu had already arrived before the two girls.

Both girls had delicate features, fair skin, and gentle brows. They looked like the sort of sweet, demure girls from modest families. They were only three or four years older than Su Tu, at the very height of their youthful beauty. Yet now, their bellies were grotesquely swollen, and twisted monsters were gestating within them.

"This body falls into the infinite; to live is the suffering of Avici."

Su Tu looked at them with a trace of pity in his eyes. These young, beautiful girls had now become tools for monsters. Even if they survived, they would endure unspeakable suffering.

The monster's first vessel had been underdeveloped, allowing Su Tu to find its weak points and suppress it, preventing it from displaying its strength. But if it continued to be reborn, unforeseen changes might occur. That was something Su Tu did not wish to see.

Su Tu raised one hand and placed it against one woman's throat. Just as he was about to exert force, her eyelids trembled slightly.
