Lin Mo had not expected that this misfortune would turn into a blessing.
Thunder Bead—a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.
"This thing can be swallowed whole?"
After looking up some relevant information, Lin Mo curiously examined the purple crystal sphere in his hand, slightly larger than a pigeon egg, and grew doubtful.
It felt hard. Could he even digest it if he swallowed it?
But the information clearly said to swallow it whole.
"Whatever, I'm doing it!"
Lin Mo did not hesitate. Wealth was sought amid danger.
In one gulp, Lin Mo swallowed it.
A chilly, tingling sensation slid down his throat and into his stomach.
Lin Mo focused his senses inward.
Three seconds later, his expression abruptly changed. His entire body began to tremble as though he had been electrocuted.
"Fuck, that hurts."
Sweat beaded across Lin Mo's forehead as he collapsed to the ground and rolled around.
Faint currents actually began to emerge across the surface of his body.
"What bullshit 'ecstasy,' what bullshit 'comfort.'"
Lin Mo cursed loudly.
The information had just said that swallowing this thing would feel utterly intoxicating and incomparably comfortable.
Turns out that was a damn antonym.
Painfully intoxicating was more like it.
Damn it, as expected, all online reviews were written by liars. None of them could be trusted!
At this moment, Lin Mo's entire body was wrapped in lightning from the inside out.
His skin, flesh, bones, meridians—every last part of him—was undergoing countless rounds of tempering.
"Crackle, crackle~"
Electric currents raced through his body, turning Lin Mo's face pale with pain.
He gritted his teeth and endured.
Amid the tremendous pain, he could feel his body undergoing enormous changes.
Layer after layer of black scabs seeped out across the surface of his skin.
They were occasionally accompanied by a foul, nose-stinging odor.
Clearly, the impurities within Lin Mo's body were being constantly purged.
Yet as soon as those black scabs appeared, the electric current on his body shattered them into charred flakes.
About fifteen minutes later, Lin Mo's pain vanished.
He was drenched in sweat, his clothes and pants thoroughly soaked.
"Phew~"
Exhaling a breath of foul air, Lin Mo slowly sat up.
"That nearly killed me!"
Thinking back on that pain, Lin Mo still felt lingering fear.
It truly was not something an ordinary person could endure.
If his will had not been strong enough just now, he probably would have passed out on the spot.
Once he passed out, the effect of absorbing the Thunder Bead would be reduced by at least half. That would have been a tremendous loss.
After resting a while longer, Lin Mo stood up and clenched his fists.
"Crackle~"
With a thought, a surge of Lightning Power instantly appeared and wrapped around his fists.
"Hegemon Fist!"
"Boom!"
With Lin Mo's low shout, Hegemon Fist erupted.
Infused with Lightning Power, this punch was exceptionally fierce and domineering.
Hegemon Fist had always been about dominance!
Tyrannical and fierce, unstoppable against all things.
Now that it had been strengthened by lightning, it was even more terrifying.
With one punch, several giant trees ten meters away exploded in response.
Tree stumps so thick that four people would need to link arms around them were blasted apart, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
The fractures were charred black, with several electric snakes occasionally slithering across them.
"Holy shit, that's incredible!"
Judging from the effect of that punch, it was far stronger than before.
Previously, Lin Mo's Hegemon Fist could at most reach a Combat Power Value of 7,128.
But now, Lin Mo estimated it could reach at least over 10,000 Combat Power Value.
An increase of around fifty percent.
With his full strength now, he had already reached the combat power of a Fifth-grade Martial Artist.
And as his Blood Qi Value increased in the future, the boost to his combat power would only grow greater.
"What a good thing!"
Although absorbing this Thunder Bead had not greatly increased his Blood Qi Value.
In the long run, however, the benefits were far greater.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, an enraged roar rang out again.
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you can find it next time.
"Fuck, it's haunting me like a ghost."
Hearing that familiar roar, Lin Mo cursed.
Clearly, the Wolf King had returned.
Earlier, after losing the scent of both the Thunder Bead and Lin Mo, the Wolf King had begun searching elsewhere.
But after looking for a long time, it had not found the slightest trace.
That drove it into a frenzy.
Still, it made the Wolf King think that the human must have hidden somewhere along the way.
So it returned along the original route and searched once more.
When it came near this place again, it immediately caught Lin Mo's scent and the aura of the Thunder Bead, and was overjoyed.
Leading a pack of underlings, it charged toward this place to kill.
"You think I'm afraid of you?"
After absorbing the Thunder Bead and greatly increasing his combat power, Lin Mo no longer chose to flee.
Now that he possessed the strength to contend with a Fifth-grade Martial Artist, he naturally no longer feared the Fifth-level Wolf King as he had before.
Seeing the Wolf King appear before him, Lin Mo cursed angrily and stopped running.
The Wolf King came to within ten meters of Lin Mo. The fury in its eyes was replaced by confusion.
This human was not running?
But after taking a sniff, the killing intent in its eyes became unmistakable.
This brat had actually swallowed the Thunder Bead.
That was something it had been saving for itself.
Bastard, this human had to die!
"Awooo~~"
The Wolf King flew into a rage, howling as it charged at Lin Mo with its blood-filled maw wide open.
"Hmph! Perfect timing!"
Rather than retreating, Lin Mo advanced. He crossed his fists and stepped forward with his right foot.
"Bang!"
That step directly stomped a deep pit into the ground.
Lin Mo sank into his stance, channeling the strength of his entire body from his waist through his arms and into his fists.
At the same time, a piercing crackle of electricity rang out.
Silver and purple currents intertwined around his entire body.
At that moment, Lin Mo seemed like the Thunder God descending upon the world.
"Get back!"
"Boom!"
A heaven-shaking punch crashed straight toward the Wolf King.
"Whine~"
Before the punch even arrived, the terrifying pressure made every whisker and hair on the Wolf King's body stand on end.
At that moment, fear appeared in the Wolf King's eyes. It actually sensed a fatal crisis.
But after living here for so many years, its dignity as the beast king made it believe this was merely an illusion.
A tiny human had just been fleeing in panic beneath its oppressive might.
How could he suddenly become so powerful?
It had to be an illusion.
Yet in the next second, when fist met wolf head, victory and defeat were instantly decided.
"Awoo... whimper~"
With a sorrowful cry, the Wolf King was sent flying by a single punch. Blood streamed from its forehead, soaking its purple fur.
"Bang!"
Its enormous body slammed heavily into the ground, and for a time, it could not get back up.
Its eyes brimmed with terror as it stared at Lin Mo in the distance, unable to believe what had happened.
It was a Fifth-grade beast king. Of all the humans who came here to explore and hunt, which one did not take a detour upon seeing it?
Even those Fifth-grade Martial Artists would not dare face it head-on if they encountered it alone.
Yet now, it had been knocked down by this brat whose Blood Qi only felt like Third Rank?
Impossible. This was humiliation!
This scene did not merely leave the Wolf King in disbelief; even the surrounding beast packs were dumbstruck by that punch.
Their beast king was no match for a single punch? Was this human really that powerful?
"Hmph! Die, damn you!"
Lin Mo did not care about any of that. While it was sick, he would take its life.
He would not give the Wolf King any chance to catch its breath and recover.
His fists fell like raindrops, pounding wildly toward the Wolf King's head.
"You fucking chased me without letting up. Think I was giving you face?"
He cursed as he beat it.
Each punch was heavier than the last.
The miserable Wolf King had never expected to encounter such a monster.
Gradually, the Wolf King's struggling came to a stop, and its breath faded away.
At that moment, every Mutant Beast around them stared at Lin Mo's face.
They would remember it. If they encountered this human again, they had to stay far, far away. He was fucking terrifying.
The Wolf King had actually been beaten to death alive by this human!
