Gao Wu: Honey, don't cry, I'm truly invincible!

"Fourth tier?"

Upon hearing Yan Feng's words, Qin Su quickly waved his hand: "No, how could I possibly deal with a fourth-tier source beast? Only a Martial General could handle that. Elder Yan, please don't joke around."

"Besides, we don't have any fourth-tier source beasts in our training camp, do we?"

When he chose the source beast to fight, he had already checked it carefully. In the arena, the highest-ranking source beast was only a third-rank one.

Yan Feng said:

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"Little Qin, if you want to give it a try, I know of a forbidden area where there is a fourth-order source beast. They can't do anything with it and have come to ask me for help several times, but I'm too lazy and haven't gone yet."

"If you want to give it a try, go ahead and try. What if you actually manage to kill that fourth-tier source beast? The benefits will be beyond your imagination."

His voice carried a hint of seduction.

Qin Su waved his hand again. He didn't think he could kill a fourth-tier source beast. He wasn't that arrogant.

Seeing that Qin Su was unwilling to try, Yan Feng was clearly disappointed, so he sighed and said, "Alright, then a third-tier source beast will do, right?"

A third-tier source beast is equivalent to a high-level human martial artist. Since he was currently a mid-level martial artist, he should be able to handle it. Qin Su thought for a moment and nodded.

Yan Feng took out his phone, made a call to the arena manager, spoke for a while, then hung up and turned to Qin Su, saying:

"Alright, everything is arranged."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Su heard a buzzing sound coming from all around the arena.

The colossal pillars in the four cardinal directions began to converge their light from the bottom up.

Wait until the sphere of light at the top expands to its maximum.

"boom--!"

The four giant pillars simultaneously pointed upwards, emitting four beams of light at an angle.

These four beams of light appear very small from a distance, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that each beam is twenty meters in diameter, and the intense energy fluctuations stir up the surrounding dust.

The four beams of light quickly converged at a certain point in mid-air, seemingly activating some kind of battle formation. Soon, centered on the point where the four beams of light intersected, a layer of shimmering silver light, resembling an inverted bowl, slowly enveloped the area.

It completely covered the fighting area of ​​the Colosseum.

"Third-tier source beasts are already quite dangerous, and appropriate protective measures must be taken. This ionization shield has extremely high lethality. It was specifically developed to target the different power characteristics between source beasts and martial artists. It has no effect on martial artists, but it is fatal to source beasts."

Yan Feng smiled and offered an explanation.

This was the first time Qin Su had heard of a difference in power between Source Beasts and Martial Artists, and she asked curiously, "Elder Yan, as far as I know, both Source Beasts and Martial Artists are products of evolution after the Great Nirvana, so why is there such a difference?"

"I don't know, but the National Martial Arts Bureau is also conducting in-depth research on the specific reasons. It can be said that this topic is quite popular even on an international scale. As long as we can find out the root cause of this difference, perhaps we can find a way to completely solve the problem of the source beast invasion and allow humanity to stand at the top of the food chain again and become the overlord of Earth."

Yan Feng said, "The only thing we know so far is that apart from the crystal core, the other parts of the Source Beast cannot be used by human martial artists. Someone once lost contact with the main force in the wild and tried to eat a Source Beast when supplies ran out. When we found him, we found that he had become a Source Beast, even more insane, violent, and extremely aggressive than a Source Beast. We had no choice but to kill him."

Qin Su asked, "Is it because you ate the meat of the Source Beast?"

Yan Feng nodded: "From the video logs he left behind, we saw his complete mutation process. I can't reveal more to you, but I can only say it was terrifying and bloody..."

At this point, a frenzied roar echoed through the arena.

Yan Feng said to Qin Su, "The administrators have released that third-tier source beast; you can go and give it a try."

Qin Su stood up, leaped, and landed directly in the fighting area of ​​the arena.

At this moment, there was no trace of any source beasts in the arena, but Qin Su did not relax at all, because he could feel the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly.

"Looks like it's a big one."

Qin Su thought to herself.

Finally, the third-tier source beast appeared.

It looks like a crocodile, but its size is extremely large, standing five meters tall and over thirty meters long. Its huge tail has strangely shaped barbs that even shimmer with a metallic luster, making it quite frightening and causing one to worry that if one were to be whipped by this thing, one would probably be sent back to the furnace for reconstruction.

Just then, the system's voice urgently sounded in his mind:

[Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! A ninth-tier beast king has been detected approaching! Host, please take cover immediately! Take cover immediately!]

"???"

Looking at the constantly flashing red system panel, Qin Su was completely dumbfounded.

A ninth-tier beast king? Where did a ninth-tier beast king come from?

Before Qin Su could react, the system voice sounded again:

【Ding! 】

[A ninth-tier beast king, a supreme ruler rarely seen among the Blue Star Origin Beasts, invincible, invisible, and ineffable!]

[Mission issued: Escape from danger.]

[Mission Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (A ninth-tier beast king can destroy a city with a sneeze; the host has no chance of survival in its presence.)]

[Task Reward: Comeback Points. (Awarded upon completion of the task. A D rating grants 10,000 Comeback Points, a C rating grants 30,000, a B rating grants 100,000, an A rating grants 500,000, and an S rating grants 1,000,000.)]

[Note: This task can be abandoned. If abandoned, the system will activate the teleportation function to transport the host to a completely safe location.]

[Abandon mission? Countdown 10.....9.......8......7........ (When the countdown ends, the system will assume the host has abandoned the mission and will automatically activate protection mode, teleporting the host to a safe location.)]

They actually released a related task.

Could it be that the system has mistaken this third-tier source beast for a ninth-tier beast king?

Or perhaps, this third-tier source beast will grow into a ninth-tier beast king several decades later, when he is thirty-eight years old.

A look of seriousness flashed in Qin Su's eyes.

If this source beast truly possesses the potential to become a beast king, then it is certain to die today.

"System, I will not give up on this mission."

Qin Su quickly spoke to the system.

Before the system could respond, he asked again, "System, what reward will I get if I kill this source beast?"

[Slaying a ninth-tier beast king will reward you with... yes... yes... *sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle...*]

Well, I just asked casually, and it made the system's CPU smoke.

Qin Su shook his head, looked at the third-tier source beast, and his blood and qi began to boil.
