Shen Qian frowned, walked to the top of a pile of ruins and looked out at the center of the garbage dump, but he could not see Zhao Hanhai and Chen Feng anywhere.
"Sink ahead, there's movement over there!"
Huo Ling'er, who was following behind Shen Qian, pointed to the right front.
Shen Qian also heard the sounds of fighting. He led Huo Ling'er forward, rounded a corner made up of abandoned cars, and an open space appeared in front of them.
In the middle of the open space, three figures were locked in combat. Two of them were dressed in tattered clothes, their skin was an eerie bluish-purple color with bulging veins, and their faces were ferocious and terrifying. They were the scavengers.
The other person was Zhou Xiaoguang.
Zheng Shaoyang and two other trainees from the training camp stood at the edge of the open space, but they did not participate in the battle.
"Shen Qian, you've come in?" Zheng Shaoyang greeted them when the other two saw that Shen Qian wasn't giving them a friendly look.
Shen Qian nodded slightly and observed the battle situation again. Judging from the interaction of speed and power, the two scavengers were probably both at the first or second stage of the initial martial arts realm.
Zhou Xiaoguang already had wounds on his body, indicating that he was not having an easy time dealing with the situation.
"Why aren't you helping?" Shen Qian asked curiously.
“Zhou Xiaoguang won’t allow it,” Zheng Shaoyang said with a wry smile. “He wants to take this opportunity to break through to the Martial Artist level.”
Shen Qian glanced at Zhou Xiaoguang in surprise, not expecting the other party to still have such determination.
Once strength and speed reach their physical limits, one can seek the sensation of Qi and break through to become a martial artist.
This process is also known in textbooks as "absorbing spiritual energy and transforming it into primordial energy," which means absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into oneself and transforming it into primordial energy.
Among the most recognized and effective methods is real-life combat.
But very few, at least among students, would choose this path, and they generally don't have the opportunity.
"I thought it wouldn't be right for us to just leave like this after all we've been classmates, so I'll wait here in case there's anything I can do to help," Zheng Shaoyang explained.
As soon as Zheng Shaoyang finished speaking, a classmate next to him suddenly exclaimed in surprise. The group looked up and saw that one of the scavengers was clinging tightly to Zhou Xiaoguang's leg.
Zhou Xiaoguang rained down punches, and the scavenger coughed up blood, but he still wouldn't let go.
At that moment, another scavenger pulled out a gleaming short knife and lunged at Zhou Xiaoguang with a roar.
"Wait a little longer!" Shen Qian sensed something and stopped Zheng Shaoyang and the others who were about to rush forward.
"What are you doing? Zhou Xiaoguang is in danger!" one person shouted angrily, pushing Shen Qian aside. He had only taken a few steps when he froze.
A small cyclone suddenly appeared above Zhou Xiaoguang's head. As the storm gathered, colorful lights appeared in the surrounding air, which were then absorbed by the cyclone.
"Spiritual energy?" The group was stunned.
Shen Qian carefully observed Zhou Xiaoguang's breakthrough process, trying not to miss any details.
If nothing unexpected happens, his breakthrough day won't be far off; all of this comes from experience...
I don't know if the system recorded it or not.
In the last second before the scavenger's blade was about to strike, Zhou Xiaoguang suddenly roared, and the vortex of air above his head entered his body. He trembled slightly, his legs swelled up, and he was freed from his restraints almost instantly.
Bang! Bang!
With two clean and decisive punches, the two scavengers were sent flying.
Seeing the two scavengers lying limp on the ground, spitting blood, Zheng Shaoyang and the others cheered.
Zhou Xiaoguang's clothes were stained with blood, but his eyes were disdainful, as if all his recent frustrations had been swept away.
He stared at Shen Qian, his expression unfriendly. "You stopped them from making a move just now, were you trying to make a fool of me, or... were you trying to use someone else to do your dirty work?"
"Your brain isn't working very well," Shen Qian chuckled, too lazy to explain.
"you……"
Having successfully condensed his vital energy, Zhou Xiaoguang, brimming with confidence, was about to unleash his power when a sharp, whistling sound suddenly rang out from behind him.
Shen Qian's gaze sharpened, and in the next instant, he flashed to the side of Zhou Xiaoguang, who was looking bewildered, and knocked him away before he could react.
Zhou Xiaoguang, who had landed in a disheveled state, looked up and saw that Shen Qian was already entangled with another white figure.
laugh!
With a tearing sound, Shen Qian retreated swiftly, putting distance between himself and the white figure.
The white figure landed on a broken wooden barrel, revealing its true form.
It is about the same size as a tiger or leopard, but it looks like a cat, with dark blue eyes and silvery-white fur, making it extremely beautiful.
But its red claws on its limbs were a full forty centimeters long, gleaming with a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and only then did everyone come to their senses, exclaiming in surprise.
Zhou Xiaoguang's pupils contracted sharply. Replaying the scene in his mind, he already knew what had happened, and his gaze towards Chen Qian was exceptionally complex.
At the same time, there was also an unbelievable sense of disorientation.
It's one thing that he didn't notice the monster's sneak attack, but he didn't even see the movement before sinking.
How is that possible?
After seeing the Kyushu Martial Arts Hall rankings, he realized that Shen Qian had been hiding some of his strength, but...
It's so different from what he imagined, isn't it?
This was after he broke through to the martial artist level and his strength skyrocketed!
Zhou Xiaoguang said he could not accept it.
call out!
A sharp whooshing sound rang out as a figure swept across the ruins from afar, then crashed heavily into the middle of the open space.
He stood in front of Shen Qian, staring intently at the large cat with a solemn expression.
Splash!
Another series of chaotic footsteps sounded as Zhao Hanhai and the other students from the training class rushed over. Further away were Song Ye and others escorting some scavengers.
