Devouring the starry sky, the clone evolves into a primordial behemoth.

Chapter 16 Wilderness Training

The heavy alloy gate of the outer city wall of Kyoto base city slowly opened, and a giant civilian armored vehicle roared out of the base city and entered the wilderness area in a grand manner.

No one came forward to question them, and no one stopped them.

Putting aside the fact that the driver was a military personnel, his status as a martial artist alone allowed him to freely enter and exit the wilderness area.

Whether or not he drives is his own business. He's not worried about being attacked by monsters in the wilderness, so why should anyone else have the right to worry about it?

Chen Mo drove his new car at high speed along the dilapidated highway in the wilderness, his eyes constantly scanning the satellite map.

Once the target area is reached, the clone can leave the armored vehicle immediately.

From then on, the sea was wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky high enough for birds to fly.

Along the way, some low-level monsters appeared one after another, most of them were H-level, that is, low-level beast soldiers.

Attracted by the roar of the car, they watched from a distance, but not a single monster dared to approach and attack. In their eyes, the huge creature in front of them was a monster even more terrifying than themselves.

After driving for about 200 kilometers, the number of monsters on the road increased, including many mid-level beast soldiers and even a few high-level beast soldiers.

Some of the more ferocious high-ranking beastmen began attempting to attack the armored vehicles, because their keen sense of smell told them that these were not their kind.

However, whenever a high-level beast soldier approaches the armored vehicle, a black streak of light pierces through its skull, followed by a long black tail extending from the top of the armored vehicle, instantly engulfing the monster's corpse inside.

After advancing several dozen kilometers, the armored vehicle entered an abandoned city full of ruins—County No. 0423.

This is one of the few small county towns closest to the base city military region.

The monsters around the military region are generally weak; even lord-level monsters wouldn't dare stay in the county town next to the military region.

and so--

In the counties next to the military region, there are almost only beast-soldier level monsters. Beast-general level monsters are relatively few in number, and most of them are 'low-level beast-general'. Even 'intermediate-level beast-general' are rare.

Because there are so few Beast General-level monsters, each low-level Beast General-level monster can command hundreds or even thousands of Beast Soldier-level monsters.

Beast general-level monsters are rare, and they are usually found in large groups. How can a team of warriors kill them?

Most skilled martial arts teams wouldn't bother staying in a county town like this, because there's not much to gain.

Therefore, there are neither powerful monsters nor powerful warrior teams here, making it the perfect hunting ground for clone evolution!

Chen Mo drove the armored vehicle straight into an underground parking lot in a residential area in the county. The giant python's body, as thick as a water bucket and as black as ink, slid from the roof of the vehicle to the ground and instantly disappeared into the darkness.

It devoured several high-level beast soldiers along the way, and the clone needs some time to digest them.

Now, the digestion time required for a single full meal is twice as long as before, which is about 24 hours.

This is the fifth time the clone has been fed. Five more times and the clone's third evolution will be unlocked. If hunting time is not taken into account, it will only take five days and five nights.

Of course, since the clone's appetite increases again after each digestion, the digestion time also increases progressively, so it is definitely more than five days and five nights in reality.

Chen Mo planned to return to the base city after the third evolution was completed. By then, his clone should be able to protect itself in this county.

When he officially entered the wilderness area with the martial arts team arranged by Song Tianying, his clone no longer needed to stay in this small county town. He only needed to quietly follow behind them, and they could watch over and help each other.

It was already dusk in County Town No. 0423.

The temperature in the early spring evening in the north was still very low, close to zero degrees Celsius, but Chen Mo, who was carrying a heavy sword, did not feel the slightest bit of cold. Instead, his heart was burning with heat.

"Wilderness, now this is what wilderness should be like!"

Chen Mo breathed in the blood-tinged air, listened to the distant roars of monsters, and his eyes gleamed with a faint light.

Compared to the county town in front of me, Monster Town, where I participated in the competition, was simply an amusement park.

"I'll use these next few days to hone my combat skills and practice the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade and the movement technique 'Flowing Light.' I wonder if I can even get the basics of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade?"

Since receiving the "Ninefold Thunder Blade" manual, Chen Mo immediately began practicing it. Among the techniques, the "Ninefold Chaotic Origin" guiding technique was the easiest, requiring only the breathing method recorded in the manual to absorb cosmic energy.

As expected of the ultimate guiding technique, Chen Mo discovered that the genetic energy absorbed during his cultivation of the Ninefold Chaos Origin was several times greater than that of ordinary cultivation! Although it was much less than the energy fed back by his clone, it was still quite considerable.

Aside from the guiding techniques, the movement techniques weren't too difficult either. After all, Chen Mo had the assistance of his mental power, and he quickly mastered the basics.

Only swordsmanship left Chen Mo at a loss.

This is, after all, the most difficult sword technique to master. Even after trying hundreds or thousands of times, he still couldn't find the correct way to exert force.

The Ninefold Thunder Blade Technique is so powerful because of a unique way of generating force.

An ordinary person might swing a sword with all their might, using 100% of their strength, while a practitioner of the Nine-fold Thunder Blade would only use 70% of their strength when swinging a sword.

When they exert the first force, they will try to exert a second force, also at 70% of their strength. The two forces combined will result in a total of 140% of their strength!

The Nine-Layer Thunder Blade consists of nine layers.

The first level allows you to unleash an extra burst of hidden force, meaning you can exert 140% of your power!

The second level allows for the release of two additional hidden forces, unleashing up to 21% of the power!

The third level allows for the release of three additional hidden forces, unleashing up to 280% of the power!

……

The ninth level allows for the release of nine more layers of hidden force, unleashing seventy percent of the original power! That's a full seven times the original physical strength!

What does that mean?

In other words, if a novice warrior comprehends the ninth level of the Ninefold Thunder Blade technique, he can almost rival a novice general!

If one is already a junior warrior, then exerting seven times the power would be comparable to a junior war god!

It's normal that such a powerful sword technique is difficult to master.

"I still can't be too ambitious. The first level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade technique has 18 moves. According to the manual, practicing these 18 moves will help me understand the power generation of the first level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade. So I'll start with these 18 moves."

Chen Mo knew that haste makes waste, so he simply calmed down and started over.

At this moment, Chen Mo was dressed in a black combat uniform, with a thick alloy heavy sword magnetically attached to his back. There was a knife pouch on each side of his legs, containing a total of 6 Series 7 throwing knives.

His tall and upright figure, coupled with his resolute and handsome face, made him appear exceptionally heroic in his suit of alloy gear.

"Um?"

As soon as Chen Mo turned his head, he saw the monstrous figures lurking in the shadows of a shopping mall building not far away, about four or five of them.

"Training officially begins!"

Chen Mo stomped his feet hard on the ground, causing the concrete to crack with a loud bang, and shot towards the shopping mall building like a cannonball.

"Don't use the greatsword yet, use your fists to feel the power generation technique."

After entering the building, Chen Mo did not draw his sword. Instead, he faced the roaring tigers and mastiffs that pounced at him with his bare hands.

Bang!

The enormous fist slammed into the waist of one of the Tibetan Mastiffs with lightning speed. With a cracking sound of bones breaking, the dog slammed violently into a distant concrete pillar at a terrifying speed, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying instantly.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Mo skillfully dodged the attacks of several other tiger mastiffs, and then threw a punch that slammed into the jaw of the second tiger mastiff.

The brutal, hand-to-hand combat made Chen Mo's blood boil, but his mind remained exceptionally calm and clear, and his movements and power generation techniques seemed to become increasingly refined.

"Hidden strength, what is hidden strength!"

The tiger mastiff was sent flying by Chen Mo's punch, but it didn't die. Instead, it sprang up and pounced again.

A series of impacts echoed through the mall. Chen Mo gradually controlled his strength to within 1000kg and slowly began to adapt to how to control his power.

At the same time, he also incorporated the moves from the Nine-fold Thunder Blade into his fists and feet, carefully feeling the power generation techniques and trying to unleash his first burst of internal force.

The first batch of sparring partners were quickly ruined, and then Chen Mo rushed towards the second batch of victims on the street.

This is the first update. There will be another update later. Please vote and support me!
