Commercial Street!
This was the most prosperous area in Tianfeng City, with all sorts of stores available.
Zhang Mo walked through it, quickly selecting the largest martial arts shop and entering.
Seeing a customer, the owner immediately greeted him enthusiastically:
“Welcome, customer. You have good taste. Not to brag, but our store has the most martial arts techniques on this entire street. Come, take a good look.”
Zhang Mo nodded, saying:
“Where are the cultivation techniques?”
Hearing Zhang Mo say that, the owner’s smile became even more radiant.
After all, cultivation techniques, at least those of Entry-level, are worth more than most martial arts techniques.
He led Zhang Mo to a counter, saying: "These are them."
There were only about ten cultivation techniques, and they were all only the first few pages.
This was understandable.
The cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques sold by stores would only be shown in full after the transaction was confirmed, to prevent someone with a photographic memory from getting them for free.
Zhang Mo looked through them and ultimately chose a First-Rank technique called Pure Yang Technique.
Upon hearing this, the owner hesitated slightly, saying:
“Customer, are you still a student? I suggest you choose another technique.”
“Although this technique has low requirements for aptitude, once mastered, your inner energy will be twice as thick as a martial artist of the same level. But, it's too slow. It may take over ten years to even master the basics. Don't waste your talent.”
Then, the owner pointed to another book, saying: "I recommend this Blood Spirit Scripture. It's fast-paced, perfect for a genius student like you who can reach First-Rank at such a young age, and it doesn't cost much more.”
Zhang Mo shook his head.
He didn’t have any talent.
He chose Pure Yang Technique because it was gradual and could make progress step by step.
Seeing Zhang Mo’s refusal, the owner shook his head, didn’t say anything more, and went back to the inner room to package the full version of Pure Yang Technique for Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo completed the transaction for 300,000 coins.
Just when he was about to go home, Zhang Mo realized something was wrong.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he walked in the opposite direction.
...
“Hey, you’ve been following me for so long, shouldn’t you come out?”
Zhang Mo came to a secluded alley and said calmly.
“Hehe, you found me?”
With a hoarse voice, a figure over two meters tall, enveloped in a black cloak, stood before Zhang Mo.
Looking at the other party, Zhang Mo’s brow furrowed slightly.
The other party gave him a very cold and even extremely brutal feeling. He felt more like a beast than a person.
“Who are you?”
Zhang Mo’s inner energy circulated, and he asked calmly.
The cloaked man, for some unknown reason, began breathing rapidly, saying:
“Hahaha, you are only First-Rank, yet you emit such a delicious aroma. It’s so strange.”
“But I can let you die knowing why.”
The moment he finished speaking, the cloaked man removed his cloak, revealing a body covered in black fur, resembling a werewolf.
“First-Rank Beast?”
Zhang Mo’s expression changed slightly.
So-called Beasts!
They are mutated species among ferocious beasts. Even among a thousand ferocious beasts, only one might be born.
They are stronger than ferocious beasts, and are even cunning, possessing intelligence comparable to humans. They can even learn human languages.
Therefore, even though cities are heavily guarded, beasts can still infiltrate.
For them, martial artists whose bodies contain energy are the best food.
Some beasts even possess incredible demonic arts.
“Hehe, now that I have fulfilled your wish, be good and be devoured.”
The Dire Wolf Beast grinned and said:
“Don't try to resist. According to your human strength classification, I am a true peak First-Rank. You can’t fight me. Just close your eyes and wait for death. You’ll suffer less.”
The moment he finished speaking, Zhang Mo moved.
Even when hunting a rabbit, a lion gives its full strength. How could he hold back against such a dangerous beast? He had to strike first.
Boom!
A violent energy erupted from Zhang Mo’s body. His entire body emitted a faint metallic color, and as he punched out, the air in the alley twisted and shattered, rushing toward the werewolf beast.
Black煞Mountain Shattering!
With the surge of inner energy, this palm made the air itself twist and explode.
With a force exceeding nine dragons and nine elephants, it appeared as if a mountain was collapsing.
“What?”
The werewolf beast looked on in shock.
The might Zhang Mo currently displayed was simply too incredible. It felt an unstoppable force.
No matter what, it couldn't imagine how a mere First-Rank beginner martial artist could possess such might.
But now!
It had no time to think and instinctively stretched out its arms to defend itself.
Crack!
The palm and arm met, and the sound of broken bones followed. The werewolf beast let out a scream, its massive body flew backwards, showering the air with a small patch of blood.
“You… You’re really human?”
The wolf-like beast lay on the ground, looking at its broken arms, and staring at Zhang Mo with fear and disbelief.
It was a beast!
Inborn physique gave them an unmatched advantage over humans.
And now!
It was far inferior to this human?
“After the Dragon Elephant Black Iron Body reaches its peak, even a First-Rank peak beast can be crushed?”
“Then, I’m probably truly invincible among those of the same level, and can even fight above my level.”
Zhang Mo calmly watched it all, thinking silently in his heart.
“Damn it...!”
The wolf-like beast forcibly swallowed a mouthful of blood, supporting its aching body and trying to escape.
“Trying to run?”
Zhang Mo’s expression turned cold. He took a step forward and blocked the wolf beast’s path.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Black煞Mountain Shattering continued to strike. Zhang Mo’s palms landed one after another on its body.
Crack! Crack!
The sound of bone fractures continued to ring out, like a bloody melody.
Finally!
The wolf-like beast lay in a pool of blood, its flesh and blood a mangled mess.
[First-Rank Peak Beast, total lifespan: 230 years, remaining lifespan: 150 years, plunder complete.]
Damn!
Beasts have such long lifespans?
Zhang Mo’s eyes widened slightly, his breath quickening.
Although he knew that beasts could live longer due to their mutations,
He didn’t expect that a mere First-Rank beast would have a lifespan of over two hundred years.
Then!
Zhang Mo began cleaning up the battlefield and quickly left the place.
