[Martial Arts Space] Unlocked!

Wan Keshan looked the student before him up and down, somewhat surprised.

The First Martial Dao Lesson was his specialty.

Almost every time he taught new students, he brought in a Feral Beast for class.

The purpose was not to give them some "show of force," but to let these students see what real Feral Beasts looked like.

To make them understand that martial arts had never been meant for strengthening the body.

Martial arts were a weapon, a path of slaughter!

Whether it was the ordinary students fleeing in panic or Liang Mingyu, who had been frightened limp, none of it surprised him.

Students like Yu Lei and Hong Qian, who had only backed away a few steps and could still force themselves to face the Feral Beast, were already doing quite well.

But someone like Li Qingshan, who had advanced against the flow and drawn his blade after the Feral Beast awakened, was something he had never seen before.

More importantly,

Li Qingshan was staring at the Feral Beast with blazing eyes, licking his lips.

As if what stood before him was not a Feral Beast, but a delicious feast.

"A natural-born fighter?"

The thought flashed through Wan Keshan's mind, and a grin spread across his face.

"Go ahead and chop. Chop as many times as you want. You can even chop it to death!"

"Thank you, Teacher. I understand."

Li Qingshan stepped forward. His right hand clenched the hilt, trembling slightly—not from fear, but excitement!

Wolf Venom noticed the human approaching with a blade, and the ferocity in its eyes intensified.

Yet its limbs remained pinned to the steel plate. The only thing it could do was open its gaping maw.

Roar!

A savage roar burst forth, carrying a rancid gust of wind straight at him.

Li Qingshan did not slow in the slightest. He even took a deep breath, a trace of delight appearing on his face.

As though he had smelled the aroma of food.

In his vision,

the illusory panel overlapped with Wolf Venom's figure, and the [Martial Arts Space] entry was flashing continuously.

And as he drew nearer, its flashes became faster and faster.

Kill it, and the [Martial Arts Space] will definitely unlock!

"Watch yourself. Don't let it bite back."

Worried that Li Qingshan might get carried away, Wan Keshan gave him a warning.

Though Wolf Venom's limbs were restrained, its head could still move within a certain range.

However, his concern was unnecessary.

When Li Qingshan was a meter away from Wolf Venom, he turned and went directly around its head, stopping beside its waist.

He raised his blade high and brought it down with force.

Bang!

"So hard?"

Li Qingshan rotated his numbed wrist and looked at his "achievement."

There was a wound less than a centimeter deep on Wolf Venom's waist and abdomen.

"Not easy to kill!" Li Qingshan frowned.

Striking at its neck would make it easy to get bitten, which was too dangerous.

He had deliberately chosen its waist and abdomen to avoid the protection of its ribs.

But he had clearly been wrong. Feral Beasts from the Star Realm could not be judged by common sense.

Though the Wolf Venom before him looked like a wolf, its structure was entirely different. Fine ribs were distributed beneath its entire torso.

Moreover, his strike had not even reached bone before being stopped by muscle.

Even now, the wound had already stopped bleeding due to its muscles contracting.

Roar!

Wolf Venom twisted its head and snarled at the blade-wielding human.

There was a hint of mockery in its savage crimson eyes.

"That's it?"

Liang Mingyu had somehow gotten back to his feet and let out a scoff.

He was feeling bold again!

"Would Student Liang like to go up and demonstrate?" Wan Keshan's casual voice rang out.

Liang Mingyu shuddered and immediately shut his mouth.

Wan Keshan glanced at Liang Mingyu before turning his gaze to the surroundings.

Apart from Liu Jingya, who was still unconscious on the ground, the other students had recovered and formed a circle again, watching Li Qingshan "swing his blade."

Very good. At least they had not been scared out of their wits.

Wan Keshan nodded in satisfaction and looked back at Li Qingshan.

After that one strike, Li Qingshan had not raised his blade again. He was studying Wolf Venom's body, seemingly thinking.

"At the Body Tempering First Stage, how could he possibly chop Wolf Venom to death?" Wan Keshan shook his head.

Although Wolf Venom's limbs were bound, the strength of its body was real.

Even if someone at the Body Tempering First Stage exhausted all his stamina, he could at most make it bleed and suffer minor wounds.

"But why did Li Qingshan calm down after only one chop?"

Wan Keshan hesitated, no longer sure of his earlier judgment that Li Qingshan was a "natural-born fighter."

True natural-born fighters were fanatics who loved battle and enjoyed fighting.

Once they entered a fight, they would never stop until the very end.

Just as he was pondering this, Li Qingshan moved.

He continued walking back from Wolf Venom's waist and abdomen, circling around to stand directly behind it.

Then he held the machete upside down, blade pointed upward.

He gestured up and down between Wolf Venom's legs.

"Fuck! What natural-born fighter? He just wants to kill this Feral Beast!"

Wan Keshan slapped his forehead. He had already guessed what Li Qingshan intended to do.

The students watching also lit up with excitement.

"As expected of the top student in the class. He thought of an 'alternative route' so quickly."

"Hehehe, I'm suddenly not scared anymore. I even feel a little sorry for that Feral Beast."

"I can't take it, I can't take it. My crotch is going cold. I don't dare watch."

"My Brother Shan is the smart one. He saw through the essence of biology."

Zhao Hongzhou grinned smugly and analyzed seriously,

"As long as it's a living creature, it has weaknesses—especially since it's male!"

Roar!

Feeling all those gazes converge upon it, Wolf Venom opened its mouth and roared again.

The roar was much louder this time. Beyond its ferocity, it carried the majesty of a king roaring through the mountains and forests.

Its blood-red eyes swept arrogantly across the area.

These weak humans did not even have the right to injure it.

Even the little human behind it who had chopped it did not dare strike a second time.

However,

the humans who had fled in panic earlier were not frightened away again.

Everyone remained where they stood, their gazes strangely similar, filled with an emotion it could not understand.

The next second,

Squelch!

The blade entered flesh. The wound was not deep, but a horrifying pain swept through it.

Roar—Gah!

Its vicious head jerked upward. Its roar reached its peak in an instant, then abruptly cut off.

Its raised head drooped, only to snap back up as it spun wildly and looked in every direction.

But it had no time to search for its attacker. Another wave of terrifying agony erupted from its lower body.

Roar—Gah!

Wolf Venom threw its head back again and roared, howling with all its strength.

Directly behind it,

Li Qingshan's eyes burned with excitement, utterly unaffected.

He gripped the hilt with both hands, blade facing upward, and slashed up with force.

One strike, two strikes, three strikes...

Wolf Venom's roars grew weaker and weaker, while each of Li Qingshan's strikes became more forceful.

Crushed balls, split sack, torn belly!

Squelch!

A wound over thirty centimeters long tore through flesh and skin, and a mass of internal organs slid out through it.

Wolf Venom's body shuddered violently before collapsing limply to the ground, barely clinging to life.

Whew!

Li Qingshan let out a long breath and stood with his blade planted on the ground.

His white martial arts uniform was covered in blood. Sweat ran down his forehead, mingling with the flecks of blood on his face.

"It's finally over!"

All the watching students sighed in relief, each of them clamping their legs together, faces pale.

Wan Keshan's eye twitched as well. He had not expected this lesson to turn from "swinging a blade" into "dissection."

Just as he stretched out his hand, intending to call Li Qingshan back.

Squelch!

Li Qingshan raised his blade again and thrust it into the Feral Beast's abdomen along the wound.

The one-meter-twenty blade sank in completely, leaving only the hilt outside.

"What grudge? What hatred?"

Everyone stared in stunned disbelief and muttered.

"Wolf Venom isn't dead yet."

Seeing Wan Keshan's outstretched hand, Li Qingshan explained.

Was this about whether it was dead or not?

Looking at the Feral Beast with only a final breath left, everyone fell silent.

A trace of confusion appeared on Wan Keshan's face as well.

If he had not known where this Wolf Venom came from, and known Li Qingshan's background as someone raised by the public welfare system,

he would have thought Wolf Venom was Li Qingshan's father's murderer.

Inside the silent training hall,

Li Qingshan gripped the hilt with both hands and stirred with all his strength, tearing apart every organ the blade could reach.

At last, the final trace of life faded from Wolf Venom's ruined body.

Li Qingshan pulled out the machete, a smile appearing on his face.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and fixed his gaze on the illusory panel.

[Martial Arts Space] unlocked!
