Swallowing the Mysterious Turtle Whole

As night fell.

Countless stars twinkled, and summer insects buzzed wildly.

A pregnant female mosquito squeezed through a crack in the door and flew into the dim room.

It quickly locked onto its target: a naked red-haired woman, sitting cross-legged on the bed.

The female mosquito buzzed, "Bzzzz," and lunged forward like a horny slut.

Just as it was about to land on the woman's graceful body, it spontaneously combusted with a "boom."

In less than a breath, the female mosquito turned to ash.

The woman slightly opened her phoenix eyes and cast a disdainful glance at the mosquito corpse in the air.

Her rose-petal-like red lips parted slightly, and she slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. With a joyful smile, she said, "I didn't expect this cheap slave's heart blood to be so pure. It allowed me to break through to Silver Three-star in one go!"

"With this Bloodthirsty Demonic Art from the Dark Guild, I'll soon be able to cultivate to Gold rank and become the number one among the younger generation in the City of Radiance! Ye Han, just you wait. I will repay that humiliation a hundredfold!" Shen Xiu clenched her delicate fists, her eyes flashing with ferocity.

Meanwhile, in the underground cave.

Chang Ping, who had endured for three days and three nights, suddenly stood up.

His Strength had grown to over four thousand jin; he was now a Silver Four-star Warrior.

After becoming a Silver Warrior, Chang Ping naturally comprehended "Dark Energy."

Dark Energy, also known as Penetrating Force, could ignore an enemy's external defenses and directly damage their internal organs.

Silver Four-star could ignore 80% of an enemy's defense.

"Turtle Grandson, you've enjoyed watching Grandpa these past few days! Come, let Grandpa take a look at you too." Chang Ping flexed his fists, making them crackle, and walked towards the Black Water Mysterious Turtle, passing by the torch.

The torch he exchanged from the shop seemed to be powered by nuclear energy; as long as it wasn't completely submerged in water, it would burn forever, never extinguishing.

The Black Water Mysterious Turtle had been staring at Chang Ping. Seeing that he hadn't come out with the torch, it immediately stood up and met him head-on.

"Roar!"

It opened its bloody mouth and lunged at Chang Ping's head, its speed faster than a bullet leaving a gun.

If it had bitten him, Chang Ping's head would have surely exploded like a watermelon, splattering everywhere.

"Slap Down!"

In Chang Ping's eyes, the Black Water Mysterious Turtle's speed was slower than a snail crawling. He merely tilted his head, dodged its fatal attack, and landed a resounding slap on it.

With a "crack," the Mysterious Turtle's head exploded like a lightbulb, shattered by Chang Ping's palm.

The pathetic Black Water Mysterious Turtle was instantly killed in one round by Chang Ping.

Keep in mind that it had waited for three days and three nights just to get a warm meal!

It hadn't even blinked.

During these three days, Chang Ping had only drunk a few bottles of purified water exchanged from the shop, and his stomach had been rumbling with hunger.

Hunger overcame reason, and he grabbed the Black Water Mysterious Turtle by the neck, aimed it at the gushing blood vessel, and drank greedily.

In less than a few minutes, he had drained all the warm Mysterious Turtle precious blood, not a drop left.

The blood entered Chang Ping's stomach and was instantly digested and absorbed.

Tens of trillions of cells greedily devoured the replenished energy, and soon the Mysterious Turtle's precious blood was all distributed.

At the same time, Chang Ping's muscles expanded at a visible rate, gradually emitting a faint silver glow.

His originally well-fitting clothes became short and tight, clinging to his skin like a second layer, all turning into a bodysuit.

"I'm so hungry!"

Even after drinking the Mysterious Turtle's essence blood, Chang Ping still felt extremely hungry.

His eyes glowed green, and without even roasting it, he grabbed the shriveled neck of the Mysterious Turtle and began to gnaw on it.

Chang Ping gnawed with a "crunch, crunch" sound, not even sparing the bones, chewing and swallowing them all. The turtle's bones were as brittle as fried peanuts to him now; they could be bitten and crushed with just a little force.

After a whirlwind feast, only the shell of the Black Water Mysterious Turtle remained.

If he could have bitten it, he wouldn't have let even that hedgehog-like shell go.

"Still a bit hungry..." Chang Ping rubbed his chiseled abdomen.

Wait, the feel is wrong!

It used to feel soft, but now it feels a bit hard and lumpy?

Chang Ping lifted his robe to look.

"Wow~ Golden Legend!"

He now had eight-pack abs, and each one felt as hard as No. 45 steel.

It seemed his attack power had increased, and his defense had also strengthened.

He could definitely stop Shen Xiu, that Silver Two-star Demon Spirit Master, with a single punch now.

"However, the Sacred Family has countless experts, with no less than three Black Gold Warriors. If I take on Shen Xiu now, I might get severely beaten by the experts of the Sacred Family. To be safe, I should reach Black Gold One-star before seeking revenge."

Anyway, there were still plenty of Black Water Mysterious Turtles in the Cold Pond, enough for him to eat for a while.

Returning to the safe zone, Chang Ping summoned his data panel.

He was very idle now, with nothing else to do but look at the data panel.

Name: Chang Ping

Gender: Virgin Boy

Hobby: Beautiful Women

Talent: Physical Augmentation+(gain one jin of strength per minute)

Strength: 4321 (Silver Four-star)

Soul Force: 13 (Spirit Master Apprentice)

He didn't know until he looked, but the data panel had actually changed.

"What the hell?! Virgin Boy? I'm a boy, damn it!" Chang Ping's face was covered in black lines as he complained, "You can change my hobby, fine, but don't change my gender! It's easy to misunderstand!"

Speaking of which, what was the "+" behind Talent?

Chang Ping tentatively clicked it.

"Swish!"

His Strength instantly decreased by a hundred.

"What the hell?! What's going on?" Chang Ping quickly widened his eyes and carefully observed the data panel.

He was surprised to find that the annotation behind Talent had changed to "gain two jin of strength per minute"!

"You can upgrade Talent by consuming Strength Value? Awesome!"

Chang Ping decisively clicked the "+" again.

This time, his Strength decreased by two hundred.

"Why did the price go up? Does it get more expensive the more you upgrade?"

He had to upgrade even if it was expensive; his future desire to be incredibly cool and awesome all depended on this Talent.

He kept clicking until it reached "gain eight jin of strength per minute," then Chang Ping stopped, as the "+" behind Talent had disappeared.

He didn't know if it was because the upgrade limit had been reached or because he didn't have enough Strength left.

Gaining 8 jin of strength per minute, 480 jin per hour, 11520 jin per day.

In other words, he could become a Gold Star One Warrior in just one day now, with an upgrade speed surpassing 99.99% of warriors worldwide.

There were pros and cons. Because the upgrade speed was now almost ten times faster, he got hungry much faster.

Fortunately, it was just simple hunger; his physique hadn't changed significantly and remained as robust as ever.

"I can't keep starving like this, I need to eat something immediately!" Chang Ping stood up and walked towards the hedgehog-shaped turtle shell.

Most of his Strength had been used to upgrade his Talent, and the remaining Strength was insufficient to hunt Black Water Mysterious Turtles, so he could only make do with gnawing on this empty shell.

Those big turtles were all lying in the water, and even if he had enough Strength, it would be useless if he couldn't swim.

"Speaking of which, does the shop have anything that can help me fight in the water?"
