My whole family was brutally murdered? I awakened the thug system and went on a killing spree.

Qin Meng stood in the underground command room, which was a complete mess.

The system panel in the upper right corner of the retina flickered.

Killing an eighth-tier peak martial artist grants 150,000 points of ferocity.

Destroying the core command hub of the provincial capital grants 300,000 points of Violence Value.

Qin Meng didn't care about these small amounts.

What he truly valued was the secret vaults of the four major families displayed on the main control screen.

Those are the massive amounts of calories that allow the physical body to evolve again.

Qin Meng turned around and walked to the bottom of the shattered dome.

With legs slightly bent, he suddenly exerted force.

He shot into the sky like a cannonball launched in reverse, piercing through a two-kilometer-long tunnel.

A few seconds later, Qin Meng landed steadily on the ruins of the Zhao family's ancestral home.

The sky outside was already beginning to lighten.

The elites of the four major families in the provincial capital were so terrified that they couldn't even see a ghost.

Following the coordinates he remembered, Qin Meng headed toward the secret vault on the north side of the inner city.

The vault was built inside an artificial mountain.

The gate is made of Titan alloy, which is half a meter thick.

Qin Meng was too lazy to look for the key.

He simply gripped the door seams with both hands and used pure physical force to tear the two doors, each weighing hundreds of tons, apart to the sides.

The interior of the vault is surprisingly large.

Rows of huge, temperature-controlled refrigerated display cases were filled with neatly cut high-grade exotic beast meat.

There are also boxes of ninth-order gene extracts.

Qin Meng walked to the nearest refrigerated display case.

He kicked the tempered glass and shattered it.

He grabbed a piece of meat from an eighth-tier armored rhinoceros weighing over 100 pounds and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Bones and flesh were chewed up like tofu under his sharp teeth.

The super-strong stomach acid secretes wildly, converting food into pure energy.

Qin Meng ate as he walked deeper into the vault.

Tons of high-grade meat disappeared into his stomach at a visible rate.

His body temperature began to rise sharply.

The dark red markings on the body surface gradually turned into a deep black.

The energy absorption valve converts all the blood and energy of those ferocious beasts into energy stored at the cellular level.

System notification sounds flooded the screen.

Devouring the flesh and blood of an eighth-tier alien beast adds three points to one's physical strength.

Devouring ninth-tier genes extracts liquid essence, adding ten points.

When Qin Meng had eaten up half of the gold vault.

His physical attributes have finally broken through a new critical point.

Current physical strength: 750 points.

The level of life has not jumped, but the density of the physical body has doubled again.

Qin Meng let out a burp.

He exhaled a breath of hot white air.

The white vapor sprayed onto the nearby alloy wall actually corroded a large pit in the wall.

His breath now carries extreme heat and energy radiation.

Just then.

A powerful, oppressive roar echoed from the sky outside the vault.

This is not the sound of an ordinary aircraft.

Rather, it is the sonic boom produced when a supersonic heavy vehicle forcibly breaks through the atmosphere.

Qin Meng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He stepped out of the vault.

Look up at the sky.

A jet-black, futuristic-looking inverted triangular warship hovered over the provincial capital.

There were no flames from any propulsion systems on the surface of the warship.

It is suspended entirely by some kind of anti-gravity force field.

A huge golden totem is printed on the side of the ship.

It was a five-clawed golden dragon coiled around a sharp sword.

The powerful families of the capital.

A symbol of the highest authority.

That old bastard Ye Jingshan ran pretty fast.

The reinforcements have arrived.

The hatch on the belly of the warship slowly opened.

Three figures jumped directly from a height of one thousand meters without using any equipment.

There were no parachutes and no deceleration arrays.

The three men were like three nails that crashed heavily into the square outside the vault.

Three deep craters were smashed into the ground.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Three men in silver combat suits emerged from the crater.

The man in the lead had short silver hair and an arrogant look in his eyes, as if he were looking at a pile of trash.

He wore a purple star badge on his chest.

Gu Changfeng, Special Executive Officer of the Capital.

Half-step into the extraordinary realm.

In the system of the capital, those above the ninth rank are called extraordinary.

An absolute powerhouse who has mastered some of the laws of the world.

Behind Gu Changfeng were two equally unfathomable followers.

One of them was carrying a blood-stained package.

Gu Changfeng looked at Qin Meng, who was shirtless and exuded the aura of a wild beast.

His brows furrowed in disgust.

"So it was you, this uncivilized barbarian, who slaughtered the four great families of the provincial capital?"

Gu Changfeng's voice rang directly in Qin Meng's mind through some kind of special vibration.

He stood high above, exuding an undeniable aura of authority.

Qin Meng picked at his ear.

It was as if I had just heard the buzzing of flies.

"Do all you lackeys from Beijing make such an extravagant entrance?"

Qin Meng spoke in a calm tone.

A murderous glint flashed in Gu Changfeng's eyes.

No one in the capital dared to speak to him like that.

Moreover, this is in a remote and impoverished area.

Ignorance is bliss.

Gu Changfeng sneered.

He waved his hand behind him.

The attendant carrying the package stepped forward and threw the contents at Qin Meng's feet.

The package unfurled.

A head rolled out.

It was Ye Jingshan, the head of the Ye family, who had fled to the capital to seek help.

Ye Jingshan's eyes were wide open, his death unresolved.

"Ye Jingshan is a good-for-nothing."

Gu Changfeng took out a clean white handkerchief and wiped his hands.

"They can't even keep their own dogs under control, yet they dare to run to the capital and bark wildly."

"My master said that although the provincial capital is poor in resources, it cannot be allowed to be monopolized by a stray dog."

Gu Changfeng casually tossed the handkerchief on the ground.

He looked at Qin Meng with a condescending gaze.

"My master has taken a liking to your brute strength."

"Now kneel down and swear allegiance to my master."

"Hand over the secrets of your physical evolution."

"I can make an exception and let you become a high-ranking hunting dog by my master's side."

Gu Changfeng felt that this condition was already an immense blessing.

In this era of spiritual revival, without the protection of powerful families in the capital, even the strongest individual is but an ant.

Qin Meng looked down at Ye Jingshan's head.

She then looked up at the arrogant Gu Changfeng.

Suddenly, a violent smile appeared on his lips.

"hound?"

Qin Meng took a step forward.

The ground beneath their feet silently turned to dust.

"I didn't eat enough today, so I'll just use you few greyhounds from Beijing to fill my teeth."

Qin Meng's body vanished from the spot in an instant.

There was no starting motion and no fluctuation of qi.

The sheer explosive power of the physical body surpassed the limits of visual perception.

Gu Changfeng's pupils suddenly contracted.

What a great speed.

But he did not panic.

As a powerful being at the half-step transcendent realm, he controls the rules.

Faced with Qin Meng, who vanished in an instant.

Gu Changfeng's lips curled into a mocking sneer.

"A beast is still a beast; all it knows is to rampage."

Gu Changfeng stood still.

He lightly stomped his right foot on the ground.

An invisible wave instantly spread outwards from him.

Within a radius of fifty meters.

The space seemed to suddenly transform into a high-density gel.

Absolute Territory: Gravity Swamp.

This is Gu Changfeng's most prized rule-based superpower.

Within this fifty-meter range, he can freely change the gravity parameters.

It can apply up to 100 times the force of gravity.

Even a martial arts master at the peak of the ninth rank would have their internal organs crushed instantly if they entered this realm.

Qin Meng was forcibly stopped ten meters away from Gu Changfeng.

A sickening, grating sound of bones squeezing filled the air.

The force of gravity, a hundred times stronger than normal, acted on every cell of Qin Meng's body without any blind spots.

The special alloy ground beneath Qin Meng's feet collapsed on a large scale due to the immense pressure.

"Kneel down."

Gu Changfeng crossed his arms and spoke in a cold tone.

His two attendants behind him let out a disdainful sneer.

In their view, the natives of this wild and desolate land have had their backbone broken by gravity.

Qin Meng stood at the bottom of the collapsed pit.

Lean forward slightly.

They did not kneel.

A hundred times the force of gravity would be fatal to an ordinary person.

But for Qin Meng, who possesses 750 points of physical strength...

This was just a slightly heavy weight training session.

The system panel was jumping wildly.

High-intensity physical pressure was detected.

[Battle-hardened Body Triggered.]

Thirty percent of the pressure is converted into kinetic energy for physical counterattack.

[The energy absorption valve is activated to absorb free gravity.]

The black Dao patterns on Qin Meng's body began to emit a dark red glow.

High temperatures radiated outwards from his body.

The surrounding air was heated to thousands of degrees, causing violent distortion.

Under this extreme heat, the gravity swamp exhibited unstable fluctuations.

"That's it?"
