A Stunning Surge in Strength, Becoming a Martial Warrior!

A Stunning Surge in Strength, Becoming a Martial Warrior!

"Just a tiny bit of Blood Essence had such an astonishing effect?"

Qin Ming was shocked.

Though he had not tested himself yet, Qin Ming believed that his punch force and speed had definitely reached the Quasi-Martial Warrior level—and were still improving at an astonishing rate.

Faced with the crimson current, it was as though every cell in his body radiated a hungry signal.

This was an entirely different experience from the natural improvement brought about by a strengthened soul.

Suppressing his excitement, Qin Ming did not continue extracting anything. He withdrew his arm and stopped the Myriad Souls Banner from devouring.

If he devoured too much from the same Monster, it would be easy for someone to notice something unusual.

The Monster Dismantling Center had no shortage of Monster corpses. There was no need to hang himself from one tree. Although there were many surveillance cameras here, as long as he stuck his arm into a Monster corpse before extracting, there was no chance of being discovered.

Qin Ming immediately dismantled all the shell plating from the Bone-armored Shrimp and headed toward the next Beginner Beast Soldier Level Monster.

He then repeated the steps he had used on the Bone-armored Shrimp, devouring only a tiny amount from each one.

Dismantling Monsters was absolutely exhausting work.

Even with Qin Ming's physical condition, he had only dismantled twenty-three Monsters in one morning, leaving him drenched in sweat.

Of course, one important reason was that dismantling a Monster was different from killing one. It was not enough to find its weak point and stab it.

He had to remove the valuable materials inside as intact as possible.

That tested one's skills.

The original owner of this body had studied professional anatomy, but he had little practical experience, so his efficiency was naturally low.

Still, this round of dismantling taught Qin Ming quite a bit about Monster corpses. Not only did he learn which materials were valuable, but he also gained a clear understanding of where these Monsters' weaknesses lay.

This was an excellent opportunity. It would be of immense benefit when he truly fought Monsters in the future.

Meng Hao even had Qin Ming dismantle an Iron-haired Wild Boar and a Tiger Howl Dog so that he could better understand Monsters.

Qin Ming was deeply grateful. It was obvious that Meng Hao was looking out for him.

These two were not sea Monsters, but land Monsters.

Behind War Base 003 was City 003, the largest Monster gathering place on the Eurasian continent. The Military often conducted sweeps around the base, so it was perfectly normal for there to be some land Monster corpses here.

However, something puzzled Qin Ming. The Myriad Souls Banner had not found any souls within those two Monster corpses!

It was not just the two land Monsters. Some sea Monster corpses that had been dead for a longer time also had no souls, or their souls were exceptionally weak.

After repeatedly confirming it, Qin Ming discovered that Monsters dead for more than a day could basically no longer provide souls. On top of that, the longer they had been dead, the weaker their souls became.

"Looks like when I get the chance, I should take a trip to the battlefield. Souls are strongest right after they're killed, and Monster souls disperse quickly after death."

Qin Ming thought to himself.

With that in mind, he pried open and dismembered the final Beginner Beast Soldier Level Iron Armor Crab. After extracting part of its Blood Essence, Qin Ming stopped dismantling.

He had continuously extracted Blood Essence from twenty-three Beginner Beast Soldier Level Monsters. The total amount was already comparable to one complete Beginner Beast Soldier Level Monster.

An endless stream of crimson energy surged into Qin Ming's body, feeding every hungry cell.

Even when he did his utmost, he could not absorb all of it. Inside the Myriad Souls Banner, the crimson current had already condensed into a palm-sized droplet of scarlet liquid.

By Qin Ming's estimate, it was enough to sustain his devouring for an entire day.

By then, it was already past noon. The others had also gradually stopped dismantling and gone off to eat.

"Brother Meng, I'll be heading back first. I might have to trouble you again in the future."

Qin Ming walked over to Meng Hao, who was dismantling a Beast General Level Iron-armored Giant Crab nearby. His expression was full of gratitude. If Meng Hao had not helped him, getting in here would not have been easy.

"Haha, what's the trouble? I got myself some free labor. If you want to come in the future, just come anytime." Meng Hao also stopped what he was doing.

"Here, see if there's anything you like to eat and take some with you. This Monster meat isn't worth much, but it tastes pretty good.

"You just got here, so take it to the kitchen and have them prepare it for you. Eat a proper meal."

Meng Hao sliced off more than ten pounds of Iron-armored Giant Crab meat and tossed it to Qin Ming. Then he pointed at the pile of Monster flesh Qin Ming had dismantled himself.

This was one of the benefits at the Monster Dismantling Center. As long as one did not take too much, no one cared.

After all, they could not finish eating this stuff anyway. Most of it would probably end up in the Incinerator.

Chrome Alloy was mainly refined from Monster shells, bones, and similar parts. Most flesh was of very little value, especially the flesh of Beginner Beast Soldier Level Monsters.

When most Martial Warriors went out hunting, they could not even be bothered to bring the corpses back. They only took the valuable portions.

Base 003 was dangerous, but its benefits were also among the best.

To say nothing else, simply eating Monster meat every day allowed many soldiers to reach the Advanced Trainee level in physical condition.

"Thanks, Brother Meng."

Qin Ming did not stand on ceremony. He accepted the crab meat Meng Hao handed him, then went over and picked up a front leg from the Iron-haired Wild Boar before leaving with a smile.

Carrying the two large chunks of meat, Qin Ming headed straight for the dormitory. Along the way, he found a secluded spot and tore off a little of the Beast General Level crab meat, devouring its Blood Essence.

Just as he had expected, Beast General Level flesh contained far more essence.

However, Qin Ming did not devour all of it. He carried the rest back to the dormitory.

"Qin Ming, what's all this?"

The moment he pushed open the door, Jia Hong stared at Qin Ming, who had returned carrying bags full of meat, with a look of surprise. He had still been worried about Qin Ming, after all. It was his first time on the battlefield.

As for the others, they were sleeping soundly, their snores loud enough to shake the room.

After fighting all night, it was difficult for an ordinary person to endure.

"Squad leader, I got this from the Monster Dismantling Center."

Qin Ming immediately explained. There was nothing worth hiding.

"Tsk, tsk. Young people really do have good stamina. You actually went and worked at the Monster Dismantling Center for an entire morning. Leave the meat here. I'll find someone to handle it.

"Beast General Level crab meat, plus an Iron-haired Wild Boar's front leg—those are both good things.

"Come on, let's get something to eat first, then hurry up and get some sleep."

Jia Hong shook his head with a laugh. Being able to work an entire morning after fighting all night was truly something else.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, Squad Leader."

Qin Ming agreed with a smile. He really was feeling tired.

After eating with Squad Leader Jia Hong, he immediately went to rest. It was not until evening that he got up with the other squad members for a huge meal, then went back to sleep until the next day.

The next day, after completing drills with his teammates, Qin Ming headed straight for the Martial Warrior Training Center.

At Base 003, aside from daily training, people mainly relied on themselves to improve.

Who did not want to become a Martial Warrior?

Once one reached the Quasi-Martial Warrior level and became a Martial Warrior, they would immediately undergo a complete transformation and leap across social classes.

"After absorbing it all night, I've completely absorbed the Blood Essence inside the Myriad Souls Banner. I wonder how much my strength has improved?"

Standing before the Punch Force Tester and feeling the abundant power within his body, Qin Ming threw a punch.

A line of numbers immediately appeared on the target.

"1326 kg!"
