Breakthrough to War God!

County 0231.

This "newbie village," which used to be infested with tens of thousands of soldier-level monsters, was now terrifyingly silent. All the monsters seemed to have vanished into thin air, as if they were hiding from something.

A squad of martial artists had just left the military base, intending to hunt here, only to be astonished to find that they could barely spot a single monster along the way.

"Boss, how come we haven't seen any monsters yet?"

A young martial artist asked curiously.

"I'm not sure. Stay alert; the situation might have changed."

The squad leader was a burly man with a thick beard. This time, he was leading two rookie martial artists from his squad to gain some field experience.

County 0231 didn't have any powerful monsters. For a war-general-level martial artist, some soldier-level monsters posed no threat; as long as they weren't surrounded, there was almost no danger to their lives.

The two rookies, filled with excitement and anticipation, followed cautiously behind the bearded man as they walked toward the interior of the county.

However, by the time they were about to reach the center of the county, they still hadn't seen a single monster along the way, only an incredibly thick, pungent scent of blood wafting toward them.

Logically speaking, with such a strong stench of blood, quite a few monsters should have died here.

Yet, they didn't even see a single bone.

It was impossible for even the corpses to have vanished into thin air, right?

Even if some powerful monster had appeared in this county, it shouldn't have left behind absolutely no trace!

"Stay sharp!"

Unlike the two rookies who were gradually relaxing, the bearded man wore a grave expression. With his battle blade in one hand and his shield in the other, he cautiously pushed toward the center of the county.

The situation was far too wrong.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for there to be no monsters here.

The bearded man moved forward with extreme caution, but when he arrived at the center of the county, he couldn't help but let out a curse.

"Holy shit!"

It wasn't just the two rookie martial artists who were stunned.

Even the experienced, well-traveled bearded man was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

"B... Boss! Is that a legendary War God?"

One of the rookie martial artists pointed at the figure in the center of the city, his mouth agape.

It was a man wearing a black windbreaker. His figure moved like a ghost, darting back and forth between the empty streets and the collapsed buildings.

His speed was so fast, impossibly fast, that they couldn't even make out his features. They could only see monster after monster falling, accompanied by a flash of blood, their corpses vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the power of a War God?"

The other rookie martial artist said excitedly.

"Boss, do we have a chance to become War God-level martial artists?"

"War God?"

The bearded man paused. He even noticed that among the monsters being instantly killed, there were a few commander-level monsters mixed in.

This kind of strength was indeed like that of a War God.

At the very least, as an entry-level war general, he couldn't see Su Zhe's movements at all.

But.

Could someone explain why the corpses were disappearing along with him?

The bearded man was baffled, but he still said to the two rookies, "There will be a chance."

"Aren't you two big fans of Luo Feng? It's said that the hero Luo Feng started his hunting right here in this city, honing his movement techniques and blade skills... though it seems there aren't any monsters left to kill now."

The bearded man hesitated.

"Whoa!"

The two rookie martial artists exclaimed in unison.

As a hero to all of humanity, the battle against the Devourer Beast had only ended a few days ago. Luo Feng's deeds had already spread through every street and alley, especially in Jiangnan Base City, where Luo Feng grew up, which had seen an explosion of his fans.

These two rookie martial artists had likely participated in the martial artist practical examination during the same period as Su Zhe, so naturally, they were both fans of Luo Feng.

"Boss, why would that War God want to slaughter those soldier-level monsters in a place like this?" one of the rookies asked curiously.

"...Maybe it's to commemorate the hero Luo Feng?" The bearded man wasn't sure of Su Zhe's intentions either.

"Forget it, let's go hunt somewhere else."

The bearded man sighed and had no choice but to lead his squad members away from County 0231.

Fortunately, there were plenty of places like County 0231 near the military base.

At most, they had only wasted half a day; finding another hunting ground suitable for rookie martial artists was relatively simple.

The bearded man quickly led the two rookies away from the county.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The arrival and departure of those humans did not attract Su Zhe's attention.

His speed was as fast as a black-red bolt of lightning, his wings unfurled behind him, and every dash caused the concrete road beneath his feet to crack.

Wherever he passed, whether it was the lurking Shadow Cat, the roaring Tiger Mastiff, or the massive Iron-Haired Wild Boar, Single-Horned Wild Boar, and even a few unlucky low-level Beast General monsters, they were all as if thrown into an invisible shredder, instantly blasted into mists of blood.

That pair of silver-gray, menacing giant claws, shimmering with a cold metallic light, erupted with terrifying power with every swing.

Claws that could easily tear through alloy shields were simply cutting through vegetables when dealing with these monsters, which were at most mid-level Beast Generals.

"Swish--!"

[Devoured Apprentice-level Tier 3 monster, gained 0.3 Devour Points]

[Devoured Apprentice-level Tier 3 monster, gained 0.3 Devour Points]

[Devoured Apprentice-level Tier 4 monster, gained 0.4 Devour Points]

[Level Up: Apprentice-level Tier 7]

War God level!

Su Zhe summoned his panel to check his current strength.

[Name]: Su Zhe

[Martial Artist Level]: Apprentice-level Tier 7 (Low-level War God)

[Spirit Reader Level]: Apprentice-level Tier 6 (High-level War General)

[Bloodline]: Blacklight Virus

[Abilities]: Devour, Camouflage, Thermal Sensing, Spiritual Force

[Forms]: Claw Form (Silver Moon Dire Wolf), Wing Speed Form (Black-Crowned Golden Eagle)

[Laws]: None

[Items]: Series 6 Combat Suit, Series 6 Combat Blade, Communication Watch...

[Devour Points]: 8023.2 (10000)

The Devour Points had not yet reached ten thousand.

Su Zhe sighed. The monsters in County 0231 were almost all slaughtered, and Su Zhe had even killed so many that others had fled the city. Even though his strength had already reached the War God level due to devouring, were the Devour Points still not enough?

The efficiency of gaining Devour Points by killing Apprentice-level monsters was still too low.

Perhaps it was time to head to some larger cities.

For example... City 003.

Although he had just broken through to the War God level, under the 3.7 times force amplification, Su Zhe's power had already surpassed some mid-level War Gods. With such strength, even going to City 003, he would not be considered weak.

Not to mention, Su Zhe's true strength and his cultivation realm were two completely different things.

"I should head home first."

Su Zhe looked up at the sky.

Yesterday, he was only a mid-level Warrior, and today he was already a War God.

At this rate, if he went to City 003 tomorrow, would it be impossible to break through to the Planetary level?
