Permanent Martial Arts

“Roar…”

The fleshworm dire beast seemed very excited after devouring Shui Yuansheng. It charged forward in large strides.

Yu Shan and Gao Tianci glanced at each other. Both of them could see the determination in each other’s eyes. Shui Yuansheng was already dead. They could not let the dire beasts charge over. Shui Yuansheng’s sacrifice must not be in vain.

“Ignite.”

“Ignite!”

Yu Shan and Gao Tianci immediately used arcane techniques to ignite their vital potentials. The injuries on their bodies recovered at a visible speed.

Gao Tianci’s body expanded violently. This time, it was even larger than before, approaching four meters, like a small giant.

Yu Shan wasn’t to be outdone. He was well-versed in all kinds of martial arts, and his speed was even slightly faster. His body flew in the air, and in a few leaps, he was in front of the fleshworm dire beast.

The fleshworm dire beast seemed to be of a rather high status. When it charged at the front, the hedgehog dire beast did not take any active action. and instead followed behind the fleshworm dire beast. This also reduced the pressure on Gao Tianci and Yu Shan. They just needed to keep the fleshworm

dire beast occupied.

Fifteen seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds

Yu Shan was clearly much more agile than Shui Yuansheng. Furthermore, he was cooperating with Gao Tianci to block the dire beasts and insects. Gao Tianci fought against the fleshworm dire beast head-on, while Yu Shan assisted by harassing it on the side.

The active cooperation between the two of them slowed down the fleshworm dire beast. Time slipped by.

At this moment, Lin Feng could clearly sense a new kind of power surging into his body. It was as if all the cells deep within his body were becoming activated.

He knew that this was the work of the newly fused genes.

“Faster, faster.”

Lin Feng was very anxious. He also knew about Shui Yuansheng’s death, but he was powerless to do anything. And now, in order to buy him time, Yu Shan and Gao Tianci were in imminent danger as well.

Therefore, he had to complete the genetic fusion as soon as possible!

Thirty-five seconds, forty seconds, forty-five seconds

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Finally, Gao Tianci could no longer hold out. After forty-five seconds, he was shattered by the countless tentacles of the fleshworm. All the bones in his body broke, and he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Gao Tianci opened his eyes. They were filled with burning battle intent. However, as his life force was diminished, the last trace of life in his eyes disappeared completely.

“Gao Tianci!” Yu Shan bellowed. He felt as if a huge rock was crushing on his chest, squeezing all the breath out of him. It was too unbearable. He could only watch helplessly as his once-familiar friend died in front of him.

Shui Yuan was dead. Gao Tianci was also dead. Out of the top three people on the merit rankings, he was the only one left. Yu Shan felt as if his entire being was about to erupt.

“Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci, you won’t die in vain!”

Yu Shan’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared intently at the fleshworm dire beast. He could not let Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci die for nothing. There was only one thing he could do, and that was to stop the fleshworm dire beast at all costs.

Swish.

Yu Shan took the initiative to attack. He slashed at one of the tentacles of the dire beasts. However, due to the lack of strength, he was directly blasted away. Then, a tentacle swept over and smacked hard into his body.

Thump.

Yu Shan fell hard onto the ground, but struggled and got up again.

Fifty seconds.

Yu Shan practically counted the time as he charged towards the fleshworm dire beast.

Bang.

With another lash, Yu Shan’s palms became a mess of flesh and blood. He had lost both palms, but he had bought precious time.

Fifty-five seconds

Perhaps this was the last time. Yu Shan took a deep breath and still did not retreat. This time, he did not even have the strength to utilize movement techniques.

Thump.

Yu Shan was thrown high into the air again before landing hard on the ground. His vision was blurry, and he felt that there was no longer any strength left in his body.

Fifty-eight seconds, fifty-nine seconds

Yu Shan had already lost consciousness. Although he was not dead, there was little hope for him now.

Aminute had passed. Lin Feng’s body was boiling. He knew everything that was going on outside. Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci were both dead, and Yu Shan had fallen to the ground, his fate unknown.

They gave everything it took to buy him one minute.

At this moment, his anger surged, and killing intent soared.

Swoosh.

Lin Feng opened his eyes. His gaze was very calm, even terrifyingly so, like perennial ice. The daunting killing intent could be sensed even by the two beast kings in front of him.

Strength. Unparalleled strength. Lin Feng felt the power gushing out of his body at every moment. He did not know how strong his current strength was. Even his internal injuries were rapidly recovering under a mysterious power.

However, this was still not enough!

Lin Feng stood up and took out the high-grade nutrient solutions he always carried with him. In order to avoid any accidents, he always carried his high-grade nutrient solutions with him.

Initially, Lin Feng had never thought of using these nutrient solutions. He did not expect an accident to really occur, which resulted in him fusing new dire beast genes.

Since he had already fused them, there was no place for regrets. He needed strength now, and invincible strength!

“Gulp.”

Lin Feng took out a few bottles of high-grade nutrient solutions. Having fused with the dire beast genes, Lin Feng felt famished. He needed to replenish his energy.

And so, one bottle, two bottles, three bottles… all the way to five bottles.

Lin Feng only brought along five bottles of high-grade nutrient solutions. He drank all of them. Even a top-notch martial artist would be in trouble if he drank all of these high-grade nutrient solutions in one go.

However, Lin Feng still felt that it wasn’t enough. It was far from enough. He still needed a large amount of energy, the greater the better. He could clearly sense a massive amount of power, ready to gush out from his body at any moment.

Strength, unprecedented strength!

“Shui Yuansheng, Gao Tianci, Yu Shan, your sacrifices will not be in vain.”

Lin Feng enunciated each word clearly. He lifted his head slightly. Before the enormous fleshworm dire beast, he was as insignificant as an ant.

The dire beast’s massive eyes naturally also saw Lin Feng. There was even a hint of condescension in the highly intelligent dire beast king’s eyes.

That’s right—condescension. A dire beast king could be condescending towards any martial artist, like Lin Feng from before, who was as insignificant as an ant before it, and could be easily crushed by it.

The massive fleshworm dire beast mobilized more than ten tentacles. These tentacles emitted a sonic boom in the air, and like lightning, they whipped towards Lin Feng in the blink of an eye.

Strength. Lin Feng needed strength. At this moment, he did not even hold his saber. He still trusted his hands the most.

Lin Feng threw a punch with his bare fists.

“Three Spiral Forces!”

His deep voice rang out, deafening as thunder..
