Super Martial Era: My Little World

Chapter 5 Premonition of the Beast Tide
"Then I won't be polite! Be careful!"

Yang Lie used the snake fist, his entire spine tensed, like a big snake, and punched Fang Lingxiu hard.

Fang Lingxiu chuckled, activated her true energy, and a faint red light surged in her right palm. Without dodging, she slapped Yang Lie's fist.

boom!
As his fists and palms collided, Yang Lie felt that his fist hit a strange film that looked like old cowhide. The strange film squirmed, reducing the force of his fist by about 50%. At the same time, a burning force came out of it, flowing along his fist into his meridians, making his meridians feel painful as if they were burned.

Elsewhere, Fang Lingxiu also took several steps back, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "His punch is incredibly powerful, more than two thousand kilograms! That's his speed plus that! Real combat is incredibly complex!"

Yang Lie possessed the full strength of three ferocious beasts in his body, plus his own huge blood and qi from the sixth transformation. He slightly adjusted his breathing method, then eliminated the burning true qi in his body, and used his snake fist to attack Fang Lingxiu with great force.

"This is the Snake Fist!! Not bad!!"

Fang Lingxiu chuckled, took silent steps, and performed the Vermillion Bird Palm Technique. Her palms flew like two strange firebirds, blocking Yang Lie's ferocious fists one by one.

Every time the two sides fought, Yang Lie would feel as if his body was burning, but he relied on his powerful qi and blood and terrifying vitality to withstand the burning heat in his body.

"That's it!"

Fang Lingxiu suddenly disappeared from Yang Lie's sight, pressed a palm print on Yang Lie's left abdomen, and exhaled her true energy.

Yang Lie suddenly felt as if his whole body was on fire. He retreated violently, with blood slightly flowing from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.

Fang Lingxiu stepped aside and said, "Alright! We can't continue sparring! My Suzaku Palm contains Suzaku Qi, which is extremely powerful. The fire energy will continue to accumulate in your body. Even if I don't use my secret technique to detonate the fire energy, if it continues to accumulate, it will hurt your body!"

"As expected of a ground-level martial art! It's truly powerful!!"

Yang Lie let out a long breath, and the fire in his body was slowly consumed by his vast energy and blood as well as his powerful vitality.

Yang Lie sat on the ground and asked curiously, "Fang Lingxiu, how many kilograms of punch strength do you have?"

Fang Lingxiu hesitated for a moment, then sat down beside Yang Lie and said frankly, "My punching force is only 1900 kilograms. Suzaku Palm isn't a martial art known for its strength! Its power lies primarily in its fire energy, and it specializes in methods of dissipating force and dodging. However, the Snake Fist, with its series of powerful techniques that use force to overwhelm, is indeed suitable for someone like you who is born with a strong body and a strong constitution."

Yang Lie talked with Fang Lingxiu for a long time. After he regained his strength, he left the school and went to the market.

"It's a bargain!! A first-grade, top-grade red-haired ape is only 20!"

"..."

As soon as Yang Lie arrived at the market, he heard the cries of various clearance sales. Curious, he went over to check and found that many monster meat and monster carcasses were being sold at plummeting prices.

The top-grade red-haired apes possessed terrifying strength, and were only two meters tall, yet weighed nearly a ton. Normally, one would cost around 70 yuan in the market, but now the price had plummeted by more than three times.

"Uncle He, why did the price of monsters plummet?"

Yang Lie came to the stall where he often bought monsters and asked the stall owner He Zhen.

He Zhen grinned and said, "The Beast Tide Forecast Bureau has sounded the alarm. A large number of ferocious beasts are moving towards this area. In a few months, we will encounter a large beast tide. Once the tide arrives, regardless of victory or defeat, the price of ferocious beast meat will plummet. In addition, the ferocious beast riots have increased the number of ferocious beasts around. Everyone has hunted too many ferocious beasts, so they can only sell them at a lower price!!"

The plummeting price of beast meat had little impact on He Zhen; it was actually a positive development. He could sell more beast meat and make more money. Yang Lie said, "I want to buy nine red-haired apes. I'll send them to the usual place!"

While powerful snake-like beasts could enhance Yang Lie's cultivation aptitude, the Red-Haired Ferocious Ape was renowned for its immense strength and defense. Rifle bullets only inflicted minor injuries on the Red-Haired Bear Ape. Its power was even greater than that of some First-Level True Condensation Realm warriors, making it a monster very close to a Second-Level Ferocious Beast.

Yang Lie has always coveted the power of the red-haired ape, but he is short of money and can only buy other beasts with better cost-effectiveness. Now that the price of beasts has plummeted, it is perfect.

Of course, there are some first-level ferocious beasts that are more powerful than the red-haired ferocious ape, but those ferocious beasts did not appear in the market, so Yang Lie naturally had no way to deal with it.

He Zhen said happily: "Okay!"

In the following days, Yang Lie resumed his life of practicing Buddhism.

The Red-haired Ferocious Ape Fruit was indeed extraordinary. Every time Yang Lie swallowed one, his physical fitness improved dramatically, and his punching strength increased by about 70 kilograms.

The final exam was coming soon, and Yang Lie was still ranked second in his grade, only behind Li Lingxiu.

Yang Lie also successfully broke through two realms and became a warrior with eight levels of Qi and blood.

Summer vacation, the day when the ninth red-haired ferocious monkey fruit ripened.

"Red-haired Fierce Ape! I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Yang Lie swallowed the red-haired ferocious ape fruit in one gulp. An extremely huge current of heat instantly spread throughout his body, continuously strengthening his body.

Crackling!

Accompanied by bursts of bone-bursting sounds, Yang Lie seemed to twitch, and his body grew another two centimeters taller. The blood in his body boiled, and his skin became tougher and stronger, as if the power of a ferocious ape was once again stuffed into the human body.

"That's right!! I have the power of a red-haired ferocious ape within me. If I were to face Fang Lingxiu... I would still lose! Her Vermillion Bird Palm is an Earth-level martial art, and she's also proficient in footwork. Her cultivation is also higher than mine. I'm no match for her right now!!"

"It took me a whole year to cultivate to the eighth level of Qi and Blood Transformation. Cultivating to the Yunzhen Realm was no problem, but reaching the Bailian Realm was much more difficult. Without reaching the Bailian Realm, I couldn't enter a top-tier university, and could only enter a first-tier university. It was really a headache."

"If I don't take the risk of going out hunting or fighting in a black boxing ring to make money, it will be too difficult to earn enough resources for cultivation. I can only see if the high-grade spiritual rice has any effect. If that doesn't work, I can only go to a top university."

"However, first-class universities and super-first-class universities are two completely different levels, and the alumni are not of the same level. But with my ability, as long as I keep my head down, even if I can't get into a super-first-class university, my future achievements won't be too bad."

Yang Lie felt the new power in his body, and was happy at first, and then countless thoughts surged in his mind.

The Human Alliance has many ordinary universities and first-class universities, but there are only four super first-class universities, namely War University, Mecha University, Colonial University, and Starship University.

War University teaches everything, but emphasizes martial arts. Mecha University focuses on mecha science, believing that mechas will be the main force in future wars. Colonial University focuses on bio-armor science, advocating the use of bio-armor to enhance oneself. Starfleet University believes that space battleships are the main force and the ultimate way of war.

Those four top-notch universities represent the Human Alliance's current pinnacle of the four extraordinary paths. Although the Human Alliance has also acquired a lot of extraordinary knowledge when conquering other civilizations and has many extraordinary paths, compared with the four extraordinary paths, they are not worth mentioning.
