"This man is actually a traitor within the garrison! And his position is probably quite high!"

"He joined the Anarchist, or rather... he was a member of the Anarchist from the beginning!"

This discovery shocked Chen Mochuan so much that his consciousness even broke free from the fragments of Steelback Wild Boar's memory.

His first thought was to immediately inform Liang Wenbin of the news, but after a moment's thought, he dismissed the idea.

First, he only saw the person's hand and a corner of their sleeve throughout the entire incident, and had no idea who the person was, making it impossible for him to identify them.

Secondly, getting involved in this level of conflict could put you in great danger, and you might even lose your life.

Third, and most importantly, he simply has no way of explaining the source of this information! Soul Devourer is his greatest trump card, and he will never reveal it to anyone!

"A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall... Moreover, this person, together with three other cultists, killed dozens of garrison soldiers, causing such a commotion. His identity may no longer be able to be concealed, and the military may have taken him down by following the clues."

Chen Mochuan tried to comfort himself with this thought, but then he thought of something else.

"Judging from their conversation, it seems there's another group secretly supporting these cult members of the Anarchist Church, providing them with special drugs..."

"Furthermore, those abducted and missing beggars in the city were actually intended to be used as test subjects for their drugs..."

"This group looks like an illegal organization that specializes in manufacturing illicit drugs..."

When Chen Mochuan thought of banned drugs, he couldn't help but think of the "energy-generating agent" used by the Lu brothers. This kind of agent, which could make people unleash greater power in a short period of time but had serious side effects, was listed as a banned drug.

"Banned drugs are extremely rare, and even more difficult to obtain. Could it be that Lu Ren is connected to this mysterious illegal organization?"

But then he thought about it again and realized it was unlikely.

After all, this mysterious illegal organization must be extremely dangerous to dare to associate with the Wuzhi Society, a bunch of lunatics, and commit such a major case that triggered a level-two catastrophic disaster.

Even if Lu Ren is a bad person, he is still just a high school student. No matter how you look at it, he shouldn't have any connection with such an extremist organization... Moreover, in the past two months, the other party has indeed been very well-behaved and has not made any small moves. He has just focused on practicing martial arts.

"I'm probably overthinking it, or maybe it's just a coincidence..."

Chen Mochuan shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about such unfounded things, but a sense of vigilance towards Lu Ren still arose involuntarily in his heart.

He glanced at the clock on the wall. Even though "Soul Devourer" had a strange effect, making him extremely efficient at examining the memory fragments of those ferocious beast remnants on a mental level, it was already late at night after he had finished checking all the ferocious beasts' memories.

However, having experienced so much tonight and learned many secrets through fragments of memory, Chen Mochuan was indeed feeling extremely tired, but also abnormally excited due to overstimulation, and had no sleepiness whatsoever.

So he decided to engage in several rounds of mental exercises, hoping that once he had completely exhausted his mental energy, he could finally fall asleep peacefully.

By immersing himself in the depths of his consciousness, Chen Mochuan "saw" nine lifelike spheres of spiritual light, each resembling a small, ferocious beast.

Previously, during mental martial arts practice, he could only choose the ferocious rat as his only opponent. However, as his strength rapidly increased, the ferocious rat became easily defeated and could only barely cooperate with him in practicing movement techniques.

With the addition of eight new ferocious beasts, Mind Training can be further enhanced, helping him to quickly hone his martial arts skills.

He first chose the Ironclaw Badger as his opponent, and after communicating with it spiritually, they both came into the space constructed by the Mind Martial Arts.

This Ironclaw Badger is indeed powerful, at the tenth level. Although it doesn't have the formidable defense of a Steelback Boar, it is faster than a Fierce Rat. Its extremely agile body, combined with its razor-sharp iron claws, makes it a great threat in terms of attack.

Chen Mochuan was not afraid of this ferocious beast at all. Even before tonight, he could have taken it down with some effort, not to mention that he had now mastered the killing move "Stone Piercing" of the Mountain-Crushing Fist.

The two fought quickly, and before long, they had exchanged more than forty blows. Chen Mochuan gradually figured out his opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

When the Ironclaw Badger pounced again, he used Thunder Step, nimbly dodging the opponent's front paw thrust.

At the same time, taking advantage of the moment when the Ironclaw Badger was still in the air and unable to turn around, he threw a punch with all his might, a Tiger Fiend Fist - Rock Crack, which accurately hit the Ironclaw Badger's lumbar spine.

They blasted him away, and he lay on the ground convulsing, clearly not going to live.

This reminded Chen Mochuan of a phrase that his homeroom teacher, Han Zhen, often emphasized: "Don't vacate unless absolutely necessary."

Unless you are absolutely certain, throwing yourself into the air to launch an attack is an extremely dangerous move. Once the enemy breaks through the attack, the person in the air is very likely to expose a weakness and suffer serious damage.

The iron-clawed badger just made such a fatal mistake, otherwise the battle wouldn't have ended so quickly, which served as a reminder to Chen Mochuan.

Afterwards, Chen Mochuan challenged the Steelback Wild Boar. This huge and ferocious beast was not as agile as the Ironclaw Badger, making it a more suitable target for him to practice piercing stones and hone his strength.

His overall strength has improved significantly compared to before, and dealing with this wild boar is no longer as difficult as it was during their first encounter; he feels much more relaxed now.

Another stone-piercing blow struck the steelbacked wild boar in the side, and the ferocious beast finally collapsed to the ground.

Chen Mochuan was panting heavily. In this battle, he had used up three very energy-consuming Stone Piercing blows, and his blood and energy were almost exhausted. However, he could not break through the tough skin of the wild boar cub with a single punch. The wild boar could be said to have suffered serious internal injuries and was finally killed by the hidden force that penetrated its body.

When he threw a punch, he always felt that there was a problem with the coordination and integration of Ming Jin and An Jin, which made the power far less than the punch that pierced the belly of the wild boar in the previous actual combat.

"No, the pressure from this steelback boar isn't enough for me right now. It's making it hard for me to recapture that feeling of merging the two forces..."

Thinking of this, Chen Mochuan activated his mental martial arts once again, but this time, he directly tried to simultaneously draw upon the spiritual light seeds of the two ferocious beasts.

The next instant, he reappeared on the pedestrian street constructed by the Mind Training Exercise, where two ferocious beasts, one large and one small, stood not far away.

"It works! That's enough pressure!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Mochuan charged forward, meeting the two ferocious beasts head-on!

……

Two minutes later, Chen Mochuan suddenly opened his eyes, clutching his heart and breathing heavily.

The feeling of death, which he hadn't experienced for two months, returned, yet he couldn't help but smile.

[You activated "Spirit Devouring," initiating a mental martial arts competition. In this competition, you gained a deeper understanding of the Mountain-Crushing Fist.]

【Crushing Mountain Fist: Proficient (22%) → Proficient (23%)】

During the mental combat exercise just now, facing two powerful and ferocious beasts, the Steelback Boar and the Ironclaw Badger, he felt unparalleled pressure.

It was precisely this extreme pressure that allowed him to recapture that feeling, unleashing a powerful strike that combined light and dark energy, piercing right through the steel-backed wild boar's flesh.

Before he could even see the resilient wild boar die, his own heart was pierced by a lurking badger, and he died instantly, returning to reality.

"It was worth it..."

Completely exhausted, Chen Mochuan could only think of this before he could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.
