Night.
The bright moon hung high in the sky.
Inside the training hall on the second floor of South Garden Estate.
Shen Ping, having changed into his training clothes, took out the Thousand-Year Willow Heart. It was a green crystal, shaped like an egg, with a peculiar internal structure. It seemed as if a liquid was flowing within, and just by looking at it, he could feel a coolness entering his body.
"Taking the Thousand-Year Willow Heart is different from Dragon Blood. I need to pierce the hard shell and consume the essence within. My current fist strength is stable at around eighty thousand kilograms. I wonder what level my physical fitness will reach after taking it!"
His eyes were filled with anticipation.
Luo Feng used the Thousand-Year Willow Heart, with the support of the dark golden sphere of mental power in his sea of consciousness, and leaped from Low-Level God of War to High-Level God of War, increasing by nearly three times. He didn't have mental power, but conservatively estimated he should be able to increase by two times!
Hoo.
Suck.
With a deep breath, Shen Ping's heart gradually calmed.
Then, he used the SS-Grade material dagger he had prepared to pierce the outer shell. Immediately, the green essence liquid inside flowed out, and Shen Ping opened his mouth to swallow it.
Whoosh.
Instantly, a wave of cool and refreshing sensation spread throughout his body. When he took Dragon Blood, the pain had almost made him faint, but the Thousand-Year Willow Heart caused no pain at all during the process.
Hiss, hiss.
Soon, the surface of his skin began to vibrate. This was the effect of the endless vitality entering his body and taking effect. His muscles, bones, and membranes began to undergo a transformation. Every organ in his body, as well as the deep cells of his bones, underwent a huge change. His genes fractured and reorganized, and useless cells were quickly replaced by the transformed cells.
And at the same time.
His physical fitness was rapidly improving, transforming from a Low-Level God of War all the way to a Mid-Level God of War, and the changes still hadn't stopped.
Shen Ping stood still, eyes closed, carefully feeling the improvement in his body. When the coolness gradually faded, he knew the effects of the Thousand-Year Willow Heart had ended.
Boom.
He lightly punched the air, and a sonic boom erupted. He could feel the rush of air against his fist.
"This punch... definitely has over 150,000 kilograms of force. The standard for a Mid-Level God of War is 128,000kg - 256,000kg. Even if I'm not a High-Level God of War yet, my physical condition is at the upper end of the Mid-Level God of War!"
"Combined with the 4.2 times burst of the Ninefold Thunderblade's fifth level, I can reach at least 600,000 kilograms!"
He was ecstatic.
500,000 kilograms was the Peak God of War level, and now he was a martial artist at that level. As for Invincible God of War, he knew he couldn't reach that yet. After all, the Invincible God of War was second only to the Councilor Level, a title of respect for the strongest among the Gods of War.
To achieve this level through martial arts, one must have an invincible technique in either swordsmanship or footwork. Globally, there were only a handful of people with such a title.
"Tomorrow, I'll head to the Wilderness Area to test my strength."
A single punch could easily exceed 100,000 kilograms. Testing at a martial arts center would cause too much of a stir. The best way was to fight Lord-Level monsters in the Wilderness Area. Plus, with his Black God Suit, he didn't need to worry about safety.
The next morning.
Shen Ping, fully armed, arrived at the Train Station. Entering the carriage, he observed the martial artists entering and exiting, their faces displaying a variety of expressions. Though his expression was calm, he felt a sense of unreality, like he was dreaming. Just over two years ago, he was a War General whose potential had been destroyed when he lost an arm. Now, he possessed the combat strength of a Peak God of War.
I'm not a genius. I can only rely on my Golden Finger.
He thought silently.
The world of Swallowed Star was a world of geniuses. Without comprehension and talent, it was impossible to succeed, even on this Earth, which had been modified by powerful beings. Over ninety-nine percent of people were destined to be ordinary.
Clang, clang~
As the train started.
He suppressed his thoughts and closed his eyes to rest.
Entering the Wilderness Area.
This time, Shen Ping went directly towards the depths of the Taihang Mountains. Upon arriving at an abandoned town near the mountains, he heard the sound of a beast roaring, which cracked the air.
It was a Lord-Level monster.
He quickly arrived at the highest point of the town and took out his binoculars to look. It turned out to be a Golden Crown Dragon, and it seemed to be hunted by a warrior squad.
Boom! Boom!
The Golden Crown Dragon was huge. Its impacts shattered a large amount of rock. Its scales, which shimmered with a black-gold luster, were incredibly defensive, enduring the attacks of several warrior's blades. It was chasing the God of War warrior who was dodging in the front.
"Red God Squad."
After careful observation, Shen Ping recognized the squad. Squads at the God of War level were very rare. After most warriors broke through to God of War, their status and position would surge. Usually, they would hunt monsters alone; only a small number would still form squads.
The Red God Squad was a God of War team in Huazhong Base City. However, the team only had two Low-Level Gods of War; the rest were High-Level War Generals. With this strength, they could easily hunt High-Level Beast Generals and even hunt ordinary Lord-Level creatures, but they were somewhat overmatched against a Golden Crown Dragon.
As expected.
They had been fighting for over half an hour.
Seeing that they couldn't defeat the Golden Crown Dragon, the Red God Squad decisively chose to retreat.
The Golden Crown Dragon pursued them for more than ten minutes before returning to its lair.
Shen Ping waited in place for an hour, confirming that the Red God Squad wouldn't return, before setting his sights on the Golden Crown Dragon.
Boom.
He stomped his foot on the ground, and his body shot out like a cannonball, instantly arriving in front of the Golden Crown Dragon.
The Golden Crown Dragon, which had just rested and recovered, glared at the small figure that had appeared before it. Its golden eyes flashed with rage. These humans were truly relentless, did they really think it was an easy target? As a monster comparable to a Mid-Level Lord, its intelligence wasn't low.
Roar!
Its sharp claws slammed down like lightning.
Shen Ping used the force of the impact to easily drift away, like a feather. Then, he changed direction in mid-air in a bizarre manner, using the Golden Crown Dragon's claws to push off again. With a leap, he flashed to the Golden Crown Dragon's eye, and with a swoosh, his combat knife flashed with cold light.
The Golden Crown Dragon reacted quickly. Its golden eyes suddenly turned white, a form of defense. However, it underestimated Shen Ping's strength. The moment the combat knife touched the white pupil, the impact force of over 500,000 kilograms directly sliced through it, and then cut a deep gash along the eyelid.
The Golden Crown Dragon roared in pain, opening its mouth to spit out a liquid.
It was venom.
A Black God Suit appeared on Shen Ping's body, completely encasing him. The venom splashed onto the Black God Suit, only causing a layer of white vapor, but it couldn't corrode it at all.
"Now, be a good boy and offer yourself to the knife!"
Shen Ping grinned, not in a hurry to kill the Golden Crown Dragon. Instead, he treated it as a training partner, constantly battling it with his Conceptual Realm mastery of movement techniques.
It took a full half hour.
Only after a thoroughly satisfying fight did Shen Ping reluctantly kill the Golden Crown Dragon. With his Peak God of War strength, he could even kill High-Level Lord-Level monsters.
After collecting the materials, he headed towards the next location.
Since he was out, he planned to complete the mission in cooperation with the military.
