"My Blood Qi has surged, and my boxing has become more and more effortless."
As he harvested Mandala Beasts, Lin Mo reflected on the benefits of advancing.
After reaching Third-grade, he could use Military Boxing with almost no sense of exhaustion.
The duration of his continuous combat had increased severalfold at once.
Zhang Junjie and Qin Bufan had only just dealt with one Mandala Beast when Lin Mo had already finished on his side.
"Damn, little brother Lin is fierce."
"Little brother Lin Mo, come help your big sister share some of the burden."
Wang Ling shouted from afar.
At present, her Blood Qi Value was the lowest in the team. Facing three Mandala Beasts at once was still somewhat difficult for her.
Lin Mo laughed and, with two swift leaps, arrived at Wang Ling's side and threw a punch.
One Mandala Beast fell in response, wailed twice, and went still.
The remaining two immediately turned around, abandoning Wang Ling and charging toward Lin Mo together.
In an instant, Wang Ling's pressure vanished, leaving her clicking her tongue in amazement.
Rather than retreating, Lin Mo advanced. He stepped forward with his left leg, sank into a horse stance, and punched in an instant.
"Buzz!"
The surrounding air rippled from the blow.
"Boom! Boom!"
The two Mandala Beasts were struck and sent flying several meters. Each had a bloody hole in its head before crashing to the ground.
"Wow, little brother Lin Mo, you're incredible! One punch each—amazing, amazing!"
Wang Ling exclaimed repeatedly after witnessing it.
Lin Mo smiled, swept his gaze around, then charged toward Guo Li and Guo Hong.
Although the brother and sister's Blood Qi Values had also reached 200, their fighting style leaned toward speed. They would be at a disadvantage when facing several Mutant Beasts head-on.
They were better suited for support, assassination, and surprise attacks.
Qin Bufan and Zhang Junjie, on the other hand, were not facing much trouble.
So Lin Mo chose to deal with the Mutant Beasts on the brother and sister's side first.
With several flashes of movement, Lin Mo joined their battle.
A few casual punches directly took the lives of several Mandala Beasts.
His speed was astonishing.
"Thank you."
Guo Li nodded at Lin Mo. The hair at her forehead was already soaked through, and dealing with four Mandala Beasts alone was still a little too much for her.
Guo Hong looked at Lin Mo, remained silent for a while, then spoke with difficulty. "Th... thanks."
Lin Mo looked at him until Guo Hong grew uncomfortable under his gaze and frowned. Only then did Lin Mo burst out laughing and vanish in a flash.
"Bastard, he was making fun of me."
Guo Hong cursed inwardly.
Guo Li covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched her younger brother's embarrassed and annoyed expression.
Ever since the incident several years ago, her younger brother had never shown anyone a pleasant face. His temperament had even become somewhat twisted.
He had never yielded to anyone.
But this time, he seemed to regard Lin Mo differently.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Qin, I'm here to help you."
"Hahaha, that would be great. We're exhausted." Zhang Junjie laughed heartily.
Qin Bufan also tugged at the corner of his mouth, a trace of a smile appearing on his face.
Several breaths later, the battle was over.
All twenty-five Mandala Beasts had been killed.
"Lin Mo, you're too amazing. After one battle, your breathing is still steady. You really are a monster."
"Little brother, someone like you would be a treasure in any school. How could they bear to let you come into the wilderness alone?"
Zhang Junjie and Wang Ling's words drew everyone else's attention as well.
Wang Ling was especially right. A genius like Lin Mo should have been kept and nurtured like a precious treasure.
Who would be willing to let him enter the wilderness alone? If something happened to him, it would be an enormous loss.
If a monster like Lin Mo were lost, it would not merely be a school's problem. It would concern the Martial Alliance of all River City, perhaps even the Martial Alliance of Southern Province.
"Isn't that exactly why I sneaked out? The things taught at school are all theoretical knowledge on paper. They're still far from real combat."
Lin Mo chuckled.
"Mm, you do have a point. When it comes to actual combat, you still improve faster by tempering yourself in the wilderness."
Wang Ling nodded.

"Alright, hurry and collect the materials. Today's haul is pretty good. Later, we'll find a First-grade Mutant Beast, kill it, and have it for dinner."
Zhang Junjie cut off a Datura Flower and said with a smile.
"Alright!" Everyone answered with laughter.
With Lin Mo's unexpected presence, everyone immediately felt that the pressure of this mission had lessened greatly.
"Hm? Something's wrong!"
Suddenly, Lin Mo stood up and looked toward the left.
"What is it?"
Everyone was puzzled. They had not sensed anything.
But the next second, Qin Bufan also frowned, and his expression abruptly changed. "Run!"
The others did not spare a moment for thought.
The instant the word "run" fell, they took off at once.
After working together so many times, trust had already formed between them.
Although Qin Bufan was only First-grade, he was an old hand in the wilderness and had abundant experience.
If he told them to run, he had to have his reasons.
After the group ran more than a hundred meters, they saw rows upon rows of trees collapsing in the distance along the boundary between B-zone and C-zone.
Several black dots of varying sizes rushed closer and closer.
"Fuck! A Level Five Exotic Beast—the Thunder Horned Giant Wolf King!"
When Qin Bufan clearly saw the enormous creature at the rear, his soul nearly fled his body.
One of the kings of A-zone had actually come to C-zone.
Looking closely, the black dots running ahead under the Wolf King's pursuit were all Mutant Beasts from B-zone and A-zone.
They had orderly become a small beast tide.
At the very front was a ragged man fleeing for his life, with a conspicuous scar across his face.
"Damn it!"
This man was Xu Xiaodao. At this moment, he was cursing nonstop, panic written all over his face.
Who could have imagined that the Wolf King would chase him all the way here from A-zone? No matter how he ran, he could not shake it off.
The worst part was that, who knew what ghost he had encountered today.
The areas where human martial artists usually gathered to hunt did not have a single person in sight.
Originally, he had intended to draw trouble to another shore—run into an area where martial artists hunted, let the other martial artists distract the Wolf King, and escape himself.
But along the way, he had not seen so much as a ghost.
He had encountered pack after pack of Mutant Beasts instead.
Under the Wolf King's furious howls, those Mutant Beasts joined the pursuit one after another.
At this moment, there were no fewer than three hundred Second-grade to Fourth-grade Mutant Beasts behind him.
He had fled at full speed the entire way, expending enormous stamina. He no longer had any way to reach the outer perimeter.
"Damn, am I really going to fail when success is within reach?"
Xu Xiaodao gripped the Thunder Bead, unwilling to accept it.
But compared to his life, if it truly could not be done, he could only grit his teeth and throw it away.
Otherwise, the Wolf King behind him clearly had no intention of letting the matter rest.
Suddenly, he saw Lin Mo and the others fleeing ahead.
Delight crept across his face.
"Whoosh!"
With a turn, he changed directions and chased after Lin Mo and the others.
"Bastard, he's leading the Mutant Beasts over here."
Zhang Junjie and the others had deliberately avoided the direction Xu Xiaodao had fled in, choosing to escape to the side.
Now, seeing Xu Xiaodao suddenly change direction and run toward them, they immediately flew into a rage.
Even an idiot knew what that bastard was planning.
"Hahaha, brothers, I'll have to trouble you."
Before Zhang Junjie's words had even faded, Xu Xiaodao had already caught up from behind.
As a Peak Fourth Rank martial artist, his speed was naturally beyond Zhang Junjie and the others.
Amid his laughter, he tossed out a crystal sphere flickering with purple light. Then he flashed away, overtook Zhang Junjie's group, and sped toward the outer perimeter in a streak.
"Bastard!"
Zhang Junjie and the others' eyes nearly split with fury.
"Roar!"
Furious roars rang out from behind them at the same time.
