"Whew~~~"
After dealing with the beast horde here, Lin Ye wiped the sweat from his brow and let out a satisfied breath.
He raised a hand and gently wiped the blood from the blade, then sheathed it in the saber case on his back.
From afar,
Lin Ye stood in the wilderness like a statue, letting the night wind wash over him without moving an inch.
His sharply defined face and striking features were unforgettable. His breathing was calm and deep, without the heavy panting one would expect after a fierce battle.
Those eyes, cold as frigid stars, remained as still as an ancient well, constantly alert to every movement around him.
His tall, lean frame looked especially valiant beneath the moonlight.
No one would have imagined it.
The man who had just slaughtered an entire group of monsters was only seventeen years old!
At the same time, a series of cold electronic notifications rang out in his mind—
[Killed 2 High-level Beast Soldiers, gained 10 Attribute Points] [Killed 4 Intermediate Beast Soldiers, gained 8 Attribute Points] [Killed 10 Primary Beast Soldiers, gained 10 Attribute Points] [Movement Technique Proficiency +5] ...
Listening to the cold notifications in his mind, the corners of his mouth gradually curled upward.
"Panel, allocate all these Attribute Points for me!"
With a thought from Lin Ye,
Boom!
A cool current several times more massive than before surged out of the void.
It instantly coursed through his entire body, enveloping him within it.
As the energy flowed through him, he clearly felt as though his whole body had been immersed in a hot spring.
Every pore opened up, making him feel so comfortable that he nearly moaned.
Not only that, but this current was silently tempering and transforming his body—including his skin, muscles, bones, tendons, and meridians...
At the same time,
Streams of force emerged throughout his limbs and bones, filling his entire body with power.
Lin Ye could not help closing his eyes as he savored the wonderful sensation.
On the silent wilderness, aside from the humid night wind howling past and the faint chirping of insects,
there was only his steady, even breathing and heartbeat.
As the cool energy flowed through his body, he could feel the strength within him rapidly increasing bit by bit...
This enhancement lasted a full ten seconds.
Only after the final trace of cool energy entered his body did the strengthening sensation slowly fade away.
He opened his eyes and looked at the information panel.
[Name: Lin Ye (High-level Warrior)] [Attribute Points: 0] [Movement Technique: Microscopic Level (Proficiency 60/100)] [Strength: 5650 kg] [Speed: 76.5 m/s] [Psychic Power: Not Activated (Gray)] [Domain: Not Activated (Gray)] [Doppelganger: Not Activated (Gray)] [...] ...
"This improvement was really substantial!"
Carefully sensing the changes in his body, a deep delight immediately appeared on Lin Ye's face...
Because every improvement meant that he was one step closer to the General Level!
The greatest change was the stronger power now filling every part of his body.
The simultaneous improvement in speed and strength also gave him greater security while roaming the wilderness.
After roughly assessing himself, Lin Ye discovered that his strength had increased by around twenty percent compared to before.
If other Martial Artists learned of his changes, they would surely turn red-eyed with envy.
For ordinary Martial Artists, every improvement required tempering themselves between life and death, along with grueling cultivation, before they could progress step by step.
How could they possibly become so much stronger like Lin Ye merely by allocating Attribute Points?
"If I faced those two High-level Beast Soldiers again, it wouldn't be nearly so troublesome!"
His gaze swept over the two massive corpses that were gradually turning cold.
In this Cataclysm Era, where dangers lurked everywhere and monsters covered the land, strength was everything.
"If I want to survive in this world, my current High-level Warrior strength is still far from enough..."
Lin Ye thought quickly, and a spark of desire to grow stronger immediately began to swell within his heart.
Suddenly, as if recalling something,
his gaze quickly swept over the small monsters lying scattered across the ground, creatures that did not even qualify as beast soldiers. He gently shook his head.
"It seems that from now on, I can only continue gaining Attribute Points by killing beast soldier-level monsters or stronger."
He silently sighed to himself.
Then, Lin Ye's figure flickered as he swiftly arrived at the bloodstained spot from before.
The brown bloodstains and shattered bone fragments looked especially glaring beneath the moonlit night.
He pulled out a military shovel and dug a pit beside him, one meter long, one meter wide, and one meter deep.
Moving quickly, he buried the broken bones and shattered belongings in just a few motions.
A small grave mound soon appeared in the wilderness.
Lighting a Furong King with a casual flick, Lin Ye crouched down and gently planted it before the fresh grave.
"Though I don't know your names, I know you were heroes. I'll remember you!"
"I've avenged you!"
He bowed deeply toward the grave.
The night wind brushed past, and the faint points of light before the grave flickered amid the dark earth.
They looked remarkably like humanity's future at this very moment.
In this Cataclysm Era, where monsters ran rampant, every warrior who fought monsters to the death deserved respect!
Whether alive or dead, they were all heroes of humanity!
Straightening up, Lin Ye gazed toward the wilderness beneath the dim stars, his eyes flickering.
In this world, where monsters wreaked havoc and danger was everywhere, death was always within reach.
When he had first crossed over, he had also been one of the countless refugees fleeing with humanity.
He had personally witnessed countless people being killed by monsters and had experienced firsthand the terror and panic of being hunted by them.
Only after being saved by a Martial Artist had he picked up a battle saber and fought desperately against monsters, growing stronger bit by bit...
Even though he was now a Martial Artist, he still had no way of knowing when he might die in battle.
The only thing he could do was become stronger with everything he had—then become even stronger!
Only then could he protect everything he wished to cherish.
After giving the new grave in the wilderness one last deep look, he continued working.
He ran over to the bodies of the two Bloodthirsty Tanks and began dissecting them with practiced movements.
Fifteen minutes later,
after collecting the important materials from both monsters, he began dissecting the other beast soldier corpses as well.
In this resource-starved, danger-filled Cataclysm Era,
whether monster flesh, fur, or bones, all of it was valuable material.
Only after finishing everything did he jog into the canyon and drive over the off-road vehicle he had prepared earlier.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
After tossing the flesh of several pig-like beast soldiers into the truck bed, Lin Ye was considering continuing his exploration of the area.
Just then, another notification came through his earpiece from the Command Center—
"Mr. Lin Ye, a group of Wolf-like Monsters has been spotted fifteen kilometers from Shelter No. 057. Please proceed to eliminate them."
Hearing this, he looked up ahead.
In the deep darkness of the night, there was only the humid night wind howling past.
"No problem!" Lin Ye answered directly.
He never turned down monsters.
After quickly throwing the monster materials into the vehicle, Lin Ye continued driving toward the designated location...
