Crazed Mutant Animals

After sorting out the future cultivation path for the Xingyi Fist lineage in this world, Teng Qingshan couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief.

Back when he was on the Nine Provinces Continent in his past life, Teng Qingshan had single-handedly created the cultivation system for Xingyi Fist to break through to the Innate, Void Realm, and Supreme Master levels.

Having transmigrated to the Swallowed Star world, with Teng Qingshan's talent and comprehension, coupled with the messages continuously transmitted by the Little Cauldron, Teng Qingshan easily deduced a cultivation framework suitable for the subsequent stages of Xingyi Fist based on his own situation.

By following this framework, Teng Qingshan was one hundred percent certain he could reach the ninth level of the Domain!

As for whether he could cross into the Origin Laws through the Five Elements Fist, Teng Qingshan did not yet have absolute certainty about that step. After all, he was currently only at the third level of the Domain realm.

But judging by various signs, the chances were very high!

Martial Arts Techniques → Artistic Conception → Domain → Origin Laws.

This sequence was correct.

Moreover, it was the same as the cultivation logic on the Nine Provinces Continent.

The only difference was that the underlying rules of the two worlds were different, and the upper limits of cultivation varied.

Watching the students below practicing their punches with their whole hearts, Teng Qingshan felt very happy.

He then leaped down in one step and ran rapidly toward the outskirts of the city.

Watching their Sect Master transform into a phantom, the disciples of the Xingyi Sect, although it was not their first time seeing it, still felt incredibly shocked.

What was the concept of physical speed reaching the speed of sound?

Previously, they wouldn't have even dared to imagine it!

But seeing Teng Qingshan reach this speed so easily, they had no choice but to believe it.

They also realized the upper limit that could be reached by practicing Xingyi Fist, and as a result, each of them became even more motivated in their training.

And this bit of strength that Teng Qingshan displayed casually was merely that of a newly entered War God, and in the universe, it was only at the level of a 7th-rank Apprentice.

But on Earth today, he was a truly War God-like figure!

Swish!

On the street, a white-clad phantom flashed by.

People couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

During this period, Teng Qingshan had cooperated with the Yangzhou City authorities to promote Xingyi Fist, so naturally, he had to display some of his strength.

Reaching the speed of sound without creating a sonic boom was one of those displays.

Every day afterward, when Teng Qingshan went from the city to the suburbs to train, he would run there directly.

Many citizens had seen Teng Qingshan's terrifying speed with their own eyes more than once, and combined with videos recorded on mobile phones, Teng Qingshan's reputation reached its peak for a time.

It even spread through the internet to other parts of China.

People in other places initially thought it was fake when they saw Teng Qingshan display such exaggerated speed.

But as the Yangzhou City authorities reposted it time and again, and more and more local residents of Yangzhou City provided proof, slowly, people in other parts of the country began to believe it and realized that the human body actually hid such exaggerated potential.

Consequently, the trend of practicing martial arts became even more prosperous nationwide.

Furthermore, with the cooperation of higher-level official forces, branches of the Xingyi Sect were promoted to more and more places.

It was just that the Xingyi Sect branches in those places were mostly just using the name.

Those teaching were only old students who had gone out from Yangzhou City.

However, paired with the first volume of the Xingyi Canon personally written by Teng Qingshan, as well as the accompanying instructional videos, it was enough for novices who had never been exposed to martial arts.

Having arrived in the suburbs in just a few minutes, Teng Qingshan reached the peak of a small hill in a few leaps.

He looked at the fields that were now mostly abandoned, and the sparse figures in the village below.

Teng Qingshan knew that the virus that had ravaged the world previously still had a massive impact.

Moreover, because there were more animals in rural areas, along with a vast number of wild animals, the situation was dire.

As the rate of animal mutation grew increasingly rapid, news of mutated animals harming people in rural areas began to emerge, leading many to move to urban areas with higher safety ratings.

This resulted in fewer and fewer people remaining in the countryside.

But it wouldn't work if everyone ran to the cities.

If no one farmed the land, what would the people in the cities eat?

However, the authorities could not force people to stay.

With no other choice, they could only dispatch the military to conduct regular patrols and eliminate those threatening mutated animals.

In the suburbs surrounding Yangzhou City, things were still manageable.

The most threatening mutated animals were merely wild boars, wild dogs, and wild cats.

Although these wild animals had tougher hides and greater strength after mutating, they still could not withstand high-caliber sniper rifles, artillery shells, and other high-powered weaponry.

Coupled with well-trained troops, it was not difficult to deal with them.

This was also the reason why some scattered villagers were still willing to continue farming under the government's high subsidies.

But in places like the southwestern mountainous regions and the northeastern forest areas, it was a different story.

These places had a much higher concentration of ferocious wild animals.

There were larger wild boars, as well as wolves, bears, tigers, leopards, and other beasts.

After these beasts mutated, their threat level skyrocketed.

This was especially true in the northeast region.

The wild animal population there was already extremely high, and with mechanized farming, the number of farmers was already very low.

But no matter how few, people were still needed to operate the machinery.

The vast, endless fertile fields of the past were now teeming with all kinds of mutated animals.

Teng Qingshan was now considered a semi-official figure, so he could see a lot of content that wasn't broadcast on the news.

One such report was about a Mutated Siberian Tiger that had slaughtered an entire village overnight!

A well-trained, fully armed company stationed in that village, consisting of over a hundred soldiers, had no power to resist against a giant Mutated Siberian Tiger that had grown to six meters long and two meters tall!

Even when they used their most powerful small grenade launchers, it was futile.

In the footage that was sent over, this Mutated Siberian Tiger, just as the grenade launcher was aiming at it, leaped a few times to reach the artillery crew, swung a tiger paw much larger than a human face, and swatted the artillerymen to death in one blow. A few more swipes were enough to smash the artillery mount to pieces!

Even the submachine gun fire from the other soldiers couldn't even break its fur!

In the surveillance footage, this mutated tiger clearly possessed high intelligence, knowing to eliminate the greatest threats—the artillerymen—first before killing the others.

After wiping out the company, the mutated tiger charged into the village and bit everyone else to death.

Watching this brutal surveillance footage, even Teng Qingshan felt a surge of anger!

Although the strength of this mutated tiger was decent, it was at most equivalent to a second-tier apprentice, or a mid-level Beast Soldier Monster.

Let alone Teng Qingshan, even Hong could easily deal with it now.

After obtaining the second volume of the Xingyi Canon, Hong's strength had improved very rapidly.

His base punching power alone had now reached over 50,000 kilograms; a single punch would be enough to kill this Siberian tiger.

But people with Hong's level of strength were, after all, a tiny minority!

At a time when traditional weapons were almost losing their effectiveness, the fragility of humanity was laid bare.

Especially when facing beasts like the Mutated Siberian Tiger, it was impossible to resolve the threat without deploying large-scale mechanized armies!

And what was even more severe was that the Mutated Siberian Tiger attack was not an isolated case!

Other mutated large wild boars, wolf packs, bears, and other mutated animals had also begun to attack human settlements to varying degrees.

The rural areas were the first to bear the brunt of this.

This was also the reason why the authorities in China were sparing no effort to promote the Xingyi Fist.

Thinking about all this, Teng Qingshan's mood could not help but grow heavier, "There isn't much time left for humanity..."
