I can gain insights into martial arts.

The steelback wild boar cub collapsed to the ground, still making its last struggle. Its limbs twitched weakly as it tried to stand up again, but the blood loss and life force had taken away all its strength.

Chen Mochuan stopped a short distance away, breathing heavily.

After observing for a moment, he slowly walked to the boar's huge head, looked at its scarlet eyes that had lost their fierce light and were gradually losing their luster, and silently raised his bloodstained right fist.

The fist was still covered with bits of wild boar flesh and blood, as well as the slimy mucus from its abdominal cavity.

Without hesitation, he unleashed a "Tiger Fiend Fist" imbued with the remaining spiritual power and last bit of strength in his body, slamming it heavily into the wild boar's temple.

"Bang!"

The wild boar twitched a few more times before collapsing completely and becoming still.

Chen Mochuan finally relaxed completely, took two steps back as if exhausted, slid down against a broken wall, and gasped for breath.

Only then did his tense nerves relax slightly, and he felt the pain coming from all over his body, the almost stopped blood and qi in his body, and the spiritual power that had been used up.

But an uncontrollable smile of relief crept onto the corners of his mouth.

He did it.

In a desperate situation, he mastered the killing move "Stone Piercing" of the Mountain-Crushing Fist and killed the powerful beast that had previously been unable to break through his defenses.

After calming his agitated emotions, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of Martial Essence Elixir that he kept close to his body.

During the battle, his injuries were mostly scratches and bruises caused by flying debris, not direct and violent impacts from the beast. In addition, the potion bottle was indeed made of sturdy material and was fortunate enough not to break.

He tilted his head back and drank the icy medicine in one gulp. While maintaining a strong sense of vigilance and waiting for the medicine to take effect and his blood and energy to recover, Chen Mochuan subtly activated the golden light screen to check his condition.

You encountered an extremely powerful opponent, and through this life-or-death ordeal, your understanding of martial arts has improved.

Tiger Fist: Mastery (96%) → Perfection

[Thunder Step: Proficient (95%) → Master (22%)]

[During a life-or-death crisis, you entered a state of "enlightened mind," grasped the essence of "piercing stone," and gained a deeper understanding of the Mountain-Crushing Fist.]

【Crushing Mountain Fist: Beginner (88%) → Proficient (21%)】

[You unleashed your potential in the fierce battle, your energy and blood were stimulated, and your physical fitness was enhanced.]

[Qi and Blood Value: 8.18 → 8.30]

[WARNING: Multiple injuries have occurred, resulting in extreme fatigue and a significant decline in various bodily functions. Please immediately cease all strenuous activities, seek medical attention as soon as possible, and ensure you receive adequate rest!]

Looking at the information on the screen, Chen Mochuan's heart stirred slightly.

The Tiger Fiend Fist, which had been difficult to perfect for a long time, was finally mastered in one fell swoop. The Mountain Collapse Fist and Thunder Step also made great progress, which was equivalent to saving about ten days of hard work. Even his qi and blood had increased significantly.

However, the biggest gain was mastering the "Piercing Stone" killing move, which made up for his lack of attack power when facing powerful opponents.

"Indeed... a real life-or-death battle is the best catalyst for honing martial arts and unleashing potential. Even mental martial arts training can never fully compare to the ultimate tempering of will and skill when truly walking on the edge of life and death."

At this moment on the battlefield, apart from the intense battle between Li Xuan and the Gray-Maned Wolf in the far distance, the other battle groups, with the support of the martial arts instructors and the two eighth-level martial artists, had already gained a clear advantage. If it weren't for the concern about the beasts' dying counterattacks causing unnecessary casualties, the battle might have already ended.

During this time, the eighth-level martial artist whom Chen Mochuan had first come into contact with even took the time to come over and try to take care of him, but he politely declined, saying that he was fine and that he still needed the other party's help in the battle over there.

After resting against the wall for a while, as the effects of the Blood Essence Elixir slowly took hold, Chen Mochuan recovered some of his energy and strength, and then got up to begin "cleaning up the battlefield".

On the chaotic pedestrian street, nearly twenty ferocious beast corpses lay scattered about. Through his "Spirit Devouring" ability, he sensed that above eight of the corpses, a fist-sized, miniature "small ferocious beast" phantom was floating, emitting a faint spiritual aura.

If he had only guessed when he killed the ferocious rat before, Chen Mochuan is now certain that only the ferocious beasts he personally killed would produce such special spiritual light orbs.

He had no time to deal with it before, but now that the crisis has been temporarily resolved, he naturally wants to absorb it all.

[You activated "Soul Devouring," absorbing a fragment of the Steelback Boar's remnant spirit, which contains memory fragments that can be viewed.]

[You activated "Soul Devouring" and absorbed one portion of the Ironclaw Badger's remnant soul...]

A steelback boar, a badger, a ferocious rat, two rusty wolves, and three spotted dogs.

Soon, he absorbed all the remnants of the eight "small ferocious beasts" that belonged to him on the battlefield. As expected, each remnant of the ferocious beast provided a fragment of memory.

Just like when he absorbed the remnant spirit of the ferocious rat before, Chen Mochuan immediately felt a strong urge to explore the fragments of the ferocious beast's memory. Moreover, perhaps because he absorbed a larger number of remnant spirits this time, this urge was much stronger than it had been two months ago.

Just then, he heard the urgent sound of sirens blaring in the distance. He quickly composed himself, resisted the urge to explore the contents of the memory fragments, and found a relatively secluded corner a little away from the various battle groups to rest.

As the sirens grew clearer, eight hover police cars quickly sped over and appeared above the pedestrian street. Before the police cars had fully landed, a group of officers in combat uniforms jumped down from the air and quickly took control of the entire battlefield.

The reinforcements have finally arrived.

Although Chen Mochuan went through a series of battles, which seemed to take a long time, only about ten minutes had actually passed since he contacted Liang Wenbin. Considering the current situation of a level-two disaster breaking out in the city and many places being in emergency, this speed of police response was already considered very fast.

After the elite police force intervened in the battle, they were extremely efficient. In less than half a minute, they quickly wiped out the remaining few ferocious beasts that had not yet reached the next level. Even the gray-maned wolf that had fought Li Xuan for a long time and was very powerful was defeated by a martial artist in the police force who was at the "Innate Realm" with a single move, which shattered its head.

The police expert who killed the Grey-Maned Wolf was none other than Li Feng, an old acquaintance of Chen Mochuan from the Special Operations Team.

Chen Mochuan had previously seen Li Feng always following Liang Wenbin around, helping to handle some trivial matters of the Special Operations Team, and even sending him home twice. In addition, he looked young and refined, so he always thought that Li Feng was just an ordinary police officer with an administrative or auxiliary role. He never expected that Li Feng was actually a second-level martial artist who had broken through the limits of the human body's "qi".

Having dealt with all the visible ferocious beasts, Li Feng acted swiftly and immediately mobilized police officers to continue investigating the safety of the entire pedestrian street and searching for any other hiding or injured citizens who needed assistance.

Given that there are still some scattered ferocious beasts in the city that need to be eliminated, especially the need to further investigate whether there are still ferocious beasts lurking in the Chengbo River, the Level II disaster alert has not yet been lifted. The nearly one thousand citizens in the entertainment city have nowhere to be properly accommodated for the time being. In special circumstances, special measures must be taken, so they can only continue to stay in the relatively safe entertainment city and wait for the citywide alert to be lifted.

Of course, Li Feng also instructed his officers to use loudspeakers to reassure the citizens and explain the situation, and arranged for two teams of fully armed officers to be stationed around the entertainment center to protect the safety of the citizens and deal with any possible emergencies.

After arranging the main matters, Li Feng went to Chen Mochuan, who was resting alone on a dilapidated bench.

"Brother Li, thank you for your hard work and for coming to help." Chen Mochuan greeted him first.

Looking at the disheveled yet resolute appearance of the young man before him, Li Feng shook his head slightly. "This is what we should do. We encountered a few second-tier ferocious beasts on the way, and it took us a while to clear them out. Otherwise, we could have arrived earlier. It is our responsibility to put you in such a difficult situation."

Then, with undisguised praise in his tone, he said, "Fortunately, the citizens in the entertainment center were well protected by you and suffered no harm. In the end, the police should be more grateful to you volunteer fighters who risked your lives to protect the citizens! You are the real heroes!"
