Over on Yu Tianheng's side.

Yu Tianheng leaned against the shriveled, dented metal of a car, gasping for air in ragged, heavy breaths.

The excruciating pain from his shattered right arm nearly caused him to black out, and the soul power within his body had been scattered by the sheer force of the previous collision; as he was now, even moving a single finger was a struggle.

Ahead, that Single-Horned Wild Boar planted its thick hooves, charging like a runaway war chariot, now less than ten meters away from him.

The horn, glinting with a cold, sinister light, magnified rapidly in Yu Tianheng's pupils.

The main hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

It was already in a state of utter chaos.

"Tianheng!"

Yu Yuanzhen stood up abruptly, his right hand exerting force unconsciously, crushing the corner of the fine sandalwood table beside him into sawdust.

This Title Douluo, renowned across the continent, actually had a fine layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead at this moment.

Was his proudest grandson, the future hope of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, about to be gored to death by a wild boar that didn't even possess soul power, right in front of a live broadcast to the entire continent?

If such a thing truly happened, the reputation of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would be completely ruined!

Not only that, but their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family would lose a family genius with the potential to reach the level of Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo!

This was a devastating blow!

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

On the training ground, Dugu Yan had long since covered her eyes, tears streaming down her face; she dared not look at the bloody scene to come.

Everyone was sighing.

They all believed Yu Tianheng was doomed.

However, at this critical juncture.

Swish—

A cold, bone-chilling silver blade light erupted without warning from a dilapidated two-story building nearby.

The blade light was so fast that Yu Tianheng only saw a white line flash before his eyes; he couldn't even make out the movements of the person who had struck.

Puchi!

A sound of a sharp blade slicing into flesh echoed. The previously unstoppable Single-Horned Wild Boar shuddered mid-air, and then, its massive, horned head slid cleanly off its neck, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

Dark red blood gushed out, spraying the ground.

The headless carcass of the wild boar, driven by its powerful momentum, slid forward another two or three meters before crashing down at Yu Tianheng's feet, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The entire process happened too quickly—faster than a blink of an eye.

There is great terror between life and death.

Yu Tianheng, having just snatched his life back from the jaws of death, couldn't recover for a moment, only staring blankly toward the source of the blade light.

It was a young man wearing a tight-fitting, deep black combat suit.

The young man had a buzz cut and did not look particularly burly. He held a Blood Shadow Battle Blade in one hand and, ignoring Yu Tianheng entirely, stepped onto the boar's corpse to gut it and dismantle its joints and bones.

His movements were terrifyingly proficient.

Douluo Continent suddenly fell silent.

Countless people staring intently at the Sky Screen were left numb with shock by this scene.

Shrek Academy, training ground.

Flender's mouth hung agape, unable to close for a long time, while Zhao Wuji rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking he was hallucinating.

"It... it's just solved like that?"

Oscar stuttered, unable to believe what he had just seen.

That flash of blade light was simply too fast, fast to the point of being unbelievable. Even more strangely, the young man who had unleashed that strike possessed not a single shred of soul power fluctuation!

This meant that the young man had not achieved this through his Martial Soul!

The purple light in Tang San's eyes continued to flicker, his heart churning like a stormy sea.

He had seen it very clearly.

When the buzz-cut youth struck, no soul rings had appeared, nor had he used any Martial Soul manifestation; he had unleashed that strike purely through raw physical explosive power and exquisite, peak-level technique!

Such terrifying strength, such horrifying speed.

Tang San compared it to himself in his mind.

If he were the one facing that strike, even if he pushed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step to the limit, he feared he would not be able to dodge it.

Even if he used his pride and joy, the Zhue Divine Crossbow, with his current soul power cultivation, he absolutely could not break through that boar's defense, let alone decapitate it as if slicing through tofu.

How exactly do the humans of this other world cultivate?

Tang San took a deep breath, his palms slick with sweat.

As a traveler from another land, he understood with absolute clarity that beyond the Douluo Continent, other worlds still existed.

His Purple Demon Eye, Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing, and Mysterious Jade Hand were all ironclad proof!

And now, an entirely new world appeared before him!

On the Sky Screen.

The buzz-cut youth flipped his wrist, his combat blade skillfully slicing open the wild boar's skull to harvest its most valuable single horn, which he tossed into the tactical backpack on his back.

Only after finishing this did he turn his head to look Yu Tianheng up and down as the latter sat slumped on the ground.

"Hey, kid."

The buzz-cut youth frowned, sounding somewhat puzzled: "You aren't even wearing a basic combat suit, and you're holding some strange beast claw. With such pathetic gear, how dare you run to the outskirts of the Wilderness Zone in County-Level City 0201?"

Yu Tianheng gasped for air, enduring the sharp pain in his right arm, having no idea how to respond.

His top-tier beast spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, which he took such pride in, was actually just a "strange beast claw" in the eyes of this local?

Seeing him remain silent, the buzz-cut youth shook his head, speechless.

"Scared out of your wits by the Single-Horned Wild Boar?"

Yu Tianheng panted heavily, watching the newcomer with some wariness. The youth seemed to notice this hostility, spreading his hands in front of his chest and saying irritably: "Don't overthink it. With the trashy gear you've got on you, I don't even want it; I'm not going to kill you for your loot."

"Besides, looking at your physical fitness, you're pathetically weak. Your punch didn't even reach the 900-kilogram passing mark for a Junior Martial Artist, did it?"

"You aren't even a Martial Artist, yet you dare to provoke this Junior Beast Soldier Level Single-Horned Wild Boar. You're lucky today that you ran into me. Hurry back to the Base City; the Wilderness Zone is no place for someone with your strength."

After saying this, the buzz-cut youth hoisted his combat blade and disappeared into the depths of the ruins in a few leaps.

However, every word he spoke was clearly transmitted through the Sky Screen to the ears of everyone on the Douluo Continent.

Junior Martial Artist?

900 kilograms?

Junior Beast Soldier Level monster?

Base City?

One fresh term after another was clearly transmitted through the Sky Screen to the ears of everyone on the Douluo Continent, subsequently triggering a massive uproar!

"900 kilograms... is merely the passing mark for a Junior Martial Artist?"

900 kilograms, when converted to the weight measurement units of the Douluo Continent, was a force of 1,800 jin!

One had to know that many assault-type Spirit Masters, before reaching the level of a level 40 or 50 Spirit Ancestor, could never reach a pure physical strength of 1,800 jin without the augmentation of spirit power.

Yet in this mysterious world, this was merely a passing mark?

If a Junior Martial Artist was this strong, then what about Intermediate Martial Artists? High-level Martial Artists?

Going even higher, there must certainly be even more terrifying realms of existence!

Judging by the youth's tone, a Junior Beast Soldier was just the lowest-level cannon fodder monster!

At this moment, everyone on the Douluo Continent felt their worldview had been completely overturned.

A level 39 top-tier genius couldn't even meet the passing mark of a Martial Artist in that world—was this the terrifying foundation of a higher-dimensional world?
