August 28.
That morning, Fang Yi took a glass of juice from a waiter.
He downed it in one gulp, then packed his things and prepared to set out, ready to continue honing his combat skills and earn some money.
"Fang Yi."
Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone call his name.
Luo Feng and the Fire Hammer Squad were also heading into the Wilderness Zone that day.
They had just arrived by train at the Military Supply Base when they saw Fang Yi getting ready to leave.
Fang Yi had wrapped Black Satin around his eyes. Hearing the call, he turned toward the sound. Though he couldn't see who it was, he recognized Luo Feng's voice.
"Luo Feng."
"I can't believe I ran into you here." Luo Feng hurried over. Seeing Fang Yi fully equipped and noticing the scratches on his backpack, he guessed that Fang Yi had already hunted several times.
"Is this Fang Yi?" Chen Gu, the Fire Hammer Squad's vice-captain, asked curiously as he stepped forward. He instinctively reached out a hand in greeting, but when he saw the Black Satin wrapped around Fang Yi's eyes, he looked surprised.
After all, venturing into the Wilderness Zone with both eyes covered was practically suicide. Ordinary people wouldn't dare do such a thing. One mishap, and the monsters would kill them.
Fang Yi nodded in Chen Gu's direction.
The other members of the Fire Hammer Squad, along with their captain, Gao Feng, also came over to look him over.
After all,
Fang Yi was now unquestionably the top fighter at the Limit Dojo, with Luo Feng close behind.
Wu Tong had even spoken with him before, hoping the Fire Hammer Squad would travel with Fang Yi and help show the newcomer the ropes... though Fang Yi's level at the time hardly qualified him as a newcomer.
A Junior Warrior already counted as one of the squad's core members.
"You just got off the train, so take some time to rest and get into shape before heading into the Wilderness Zone. I'll set out first. If we run into each other later, we can talk then."
After Fang Yi spoke, the others didn't say much more. They exchanged a few greetings, then went their separate ways.
"Since this is your first time going into the Wilderness Zone, be extra careful," Fang Yi reminded Luo Feng before leaving.
"Mm." Luo Feng nodded.
County City No. 0201.
Fang Yi knew the routes in and out very well by now, having explored the entire outer suburbs.
With his Double Pupil Eyes' ability to analyze his surroundings, he could clearly remember the layout of many streets, residential communities, and high-rises.
"Today, I'm going into the Core Layer."
The city center was far more dangerous than the outskirts, and the monsters there were correspondingly stronger. On his previous trips, Fang Yi had only explored the outskirts. It was time to venture into a new area.
Fang Yi raced into a cluster of buildings, reached a rooftop, and leaped across to another platform.
He moved with the agility of a forest ape, bounding through the air between the high-rises.
The rooftops were high, giving him a clearer view of the surrounding layout.
As the Double Pupil Eyes scanned and analyzed the area,
Fang Yi immediately spotted a Bloodthirsty Tank on the edge of an abandoned shopping street. It was crouched inside a school bus with its roof sheared off, feasting on a corpse. It ate with gusto, surrounded by pools of blood—a chilling sight.
Its tank-like bulk seemed to crush the abandoned bus beneath it.
"Among pig-type monsters, the Bloodthirsty Tank ranks second. Its body is covered in thick scales that provide astonishing defense. And with its enormous size, it looks like an armored tank, which is why humans gave it that name."
"Wait, the scales on that Bloodthirsty Tank... It's not an Intermediate Beast General. It's an Advanced Beast General!"
Joy spread across Fang Yi's face.
This was his first time encountering an Advanced Beast General. Though it was a pig-type monster, Bloodthirsty Tanks were formidable, and their materials were more valuable than those of ordinary pig-type monsters.
Fang Yi immediately started hopping along the edge of the high-rises, slowly closing in on the abandoned school bus.
When the two were close enough,
Fang Yi stood before a window in one of the buildings, then suddenly leaped and swung a fist!
The Bloodthirsty Tank had terrifying hearing. Even the sound of Fang Yi's foot hitting the wall was enough to alert it. It jerked its huge head up and spotted a figure hurtling through the air toward it.
Bang!
Riding the force of his fall, Fang Yi slammed a vicious punch down onto the top of its head. He had put all his strength into it.
The wind roared.
The abandoned school bus sank sharply. Its long-deflated, rusted, rotting tires shot out in every direction.
"Girn!"
Though the Bloodthirsty Tank had astonishing defenses, the blow to its head still rattled it badly, and it let out a piercing cry.
Its massive body abruptly rolled to one side. Fang Yi immediately leaped off it, avoiding being carried along and slammed into the ground or a wall.
Boom!
The Bloodthirsty Tank crashed onto the ground with a dull thud, then quickly got back up. Its eyes fixed on Fang Yi, standing near the edge.
It planted its limbs and charged at him with a sudden burst of force!
The Heavy Pupil appeared in Fang Yi's left eye. With his Power of Analysis, he saw through the monster's attack and its next move.
The moment he realized it was about to charge, he dodged.
Bang!
The Bloodthirsty Tank's enormous body smashed through the wall of a high-rise! Rubble collapsed in an instant, and a cloud of dust billowed up.
"What terrifying impact. If that hit me, even if my combat suit remained intact, my body and internal organs would still take a serious beating."
Watching the monster's ferocity, Fang Yi felt no fear. Instead, he grew even more excited.
The blood in his body seemed to burn and boil.
Despite the two-level gap between them, Fang Yi was still confident he could take it down.
A massive shadow suddenly burst out of the dust. Fang Yi reacted quickly, dodging as he spun and threw a fierce punch.
The force rose from the ground, flowed along his spine, and coursed through his joints and into his arm, linking together.
This punch contained two waves of force.
They struck precisely at the Bloodthirsty Tank's ear. The first wave was followed by the second, both erupting at once and making the punch extraordinarily dangerous and brutal!
Fang Yi had been practicing this punch since his second and third trips into the Wilderness Zone.
Fang Yi had never learned the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, but he had read descriptions of Luo Feng's training. Combined with his years of practicing boxing, it hadn't taken long to learn the technique and put it into practice.
"Too bad the original story didn't describe World Destroyer in much detail. Otherwise, I might have been able to pick up its Force Application Technique too."
After throwing the punch,
he turned his fist slightly.
Fang Yi had used his advantage as someone from another world, learning the technique by drawing on descriptions of Luo Feng's training.
In a way, this was what people called stealing a teacher's technique, like something out of a martial arts game.
He had observed in secret, then grasped and learned it on his own.
His punch had previously carried around 13,000 kilograms of force. With Hidden Force added to it, this punch could reach at least 26,000 kilograms!
"Girn!"
Bang! The Bloodthirsty Tank took the terrifying punch and lurched to one side.
But because it had been charging so fast, it couldn't control its momentum and crashed into the high-rise at the edge, smashing another huge hole through it.
