I asked you to practice martial arts, and you achieved the Golden Body?

More than an hour later, in a canyon dozens of kilometers away from Bozhou City.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck, it's so strong, this, this... where on earth does this power come from?!" In the deep canyon, there were suddenly bursts of exclamations from young people.

Then, in an instant, the exclamations died down and disappeared completely, as if it were an illusion.

"Huff~Huff~"

"Huff~Huff~"

"To some extent, this is simply the 'reborn parents'." Shen Bailian panted heavily, his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and his originally ruddy face was as pale as white paper.

Although his physical strength, force, and mental strength have all reached the warning line, when he saw the dying beast in front of him, his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.

His emotions were also abnormally high.

In front of Shen Bailian was a squirrel-like beast, and the scientific name of this beast in the intelligence center of the Great Summer Body was Linglong Rat.

Naming is a science.

Linglong Rat, as the name suggests, is small and exquisite. Because of its incomplete evolution, it is at the bottom of the food chain even among the beasts that are not ranked.

And with a huge tail like a banana fan, its body length is generally more than two meters, and three meters is impossible.

However, the Linglong Rat in front of Shen Bailian now has a body length of an astonishing four meters, and judging from its power, it has reached the first level.

Moreover, this is not just a simple first level, but has reached the peak of the early stage of the first level, and is only one step away from the middle stage of the first level.

This is extremely amazing.

Because as early as 100 years after the new era, the heaven and earth elemental energy between heaven and earth has been close to calm, and there are few large-scale changes.

Even with the existence of the Yuanli tide, it has become like the ebb and flow of the sea, and has become commonplace.

Under this background, the evolution of the creatures on Diyuan Star has also become relatively smooth, and there are few genetic mutations.

In short, among the fierce beasts on Diyuan Star today, a fixed class has been formed, and there is almost no channel for advancement, unless there is some opportunity that goes against the will of heaven.

A king gives birth to a king, and a mouse gives birth to a mouse.

However, this impossibility has undergone earth-shaking changes in Shen Bailian's hands in this silent and nameless night.

"However, this skill consumes not only physical strength, force, and mental strength, but also my martial arts potential." Shen Bailian calmed down and carefully felt his own state.

After the mental power entered the second stage, it was not only the ability to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth and the mysteries of nature that was improved, but the biggest benefit was the perception of oneself.

From the previous appearance, it has broken through the inside.

Before the breakthrough of his mental power, Shen Bailian's perception of his martial arts potential was only a vague perception, like a blind man touching an elephant.

Although he could sense it, it was only a feeling after all, and it was difficult to get a more accurate result.

But now, it was like opening his eyes. Although it was still blurry, it was like the difference between a blind person and a moderately myopic person.

After using the [God's Hand], Shen Bailian felt that his martial arts potential had indeed been reduced, and the amount of reduction was not ordinary.

It was reduced by about one tenth.

To do something against the will of heaven, one must pay an unimaginable price, but this price has exceeded Shen Bailian's imagination.

You know, in the eyes of the strong man in the Palace of Gods, Shen Bailian's talent is enough to provide him with normal cultivation to the Palace of Gods without worrying about the problem of exhaustion of potential.

Even one tenth of it is enough for an ordinary warrior to break through from the apprentice stage of warriors to the peak of the Transcendent Realm without taking natural materials and treasures.

It is even possible to break through to the Sea-breaking Realm directly.

However, when used on the Linglong Rat in front of him, it only helped it break through the species limit and enhanced its strength to the peak of the first stage.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~~" "Squeak!"

Even though the night sky tonight was cloudless and there was bright moonlight, the canyon was still dim, and the Linglong Rat fell to the ground and trembled, constantly making mournful sounds.

Pools of blood had appeared on the fluffy and soft brown hair, and blood was flowing out of a huge crack in the abdomen.

If an ordinary Linglong Rat had suffered such an injury, it would have died long ago, but after it entered the first stage, its life level had undergone a complete transformation, its vitality became tenacious, and it could continue to live.

However.

For the Linglong Rat, the joy brought by the transformation of its life level had long dissipated, replaced by endless regret and fear.

It should not have provoked that man casually.

But... but, the hatred that remained in its blood, coupled with the joy of its leapfrog improvement in strength, made it swell up and attempt to challenge that man.

If it were given another chance, it would rather bow down and serve as a minister than to bar its fangs to that man again.

Unfortunately, Linglong Mouse has seen too many life and death scenes and experienced many life and death separations since he was a child in the wilderness. He understands that there is no regret medicine in this world.

"One more thing." Shen Bailian shifted his attention to the Linglong Rat under him. His deep and majestic eyes made it tremble even more:

"Using [God's Hand] to make the Linglong Rat break through the limit of its life level, it seems that the hatred for the human race in the blood of the beast has been eliminated, or purified a lot."

Since he embarked on the road of martial arts, up to now, Shen Bailian has encountered and killed 10,000 beasts with his own hands, if not 100,000.

However.

Among such a large number of beasts, he has never seen a beast that behaves like this, and treats him, a natural enemy, like a human race.

There is actually a hint of flattery? It seems to regard him as a great existence.

"In this case, the remaining martial arts potential cannot be wasted." Shen Bailian glanced at the Linglong Rat under his feet, and his mind moved slightly.

Swish!

With the flash of silver light, a second-level basic nutrition potion and a second-level nourishing potion were drunk one after another, and the five internal organs resonated slightly.

With the help of nutrition potions and nourishing potions, the physical and mental strength that had reached the warning line were recovering at an extremely fast speed, and the original force was the same.

As time passed, the exquisite mouse trembled more and more. It had foreseen its own doomsday. The only regret was that it had not opened a harem after breaking through the species limit and becoming a first-level fierce beast!

Two minutes later~

"It should be almost done." Shen Bailian felt his own state and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

In addition to the martial arts potential that had been completely consumed, he has now recovered to the most perfect state, and the next thing to do is to experiment what he wants in his heart.

"Whether it can succeed depends on this one move."

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Bailian stretched out his hands to the exquisite mouse under his feet.

"Squeak~squeak~squeak~"

The Linglong Mouse glimpsed the hand that stretched out, and its body trembled more and more, like a small electric motor. The heart that was still hanging in the air suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley.

This is the end!

"If there is another life, I will never again..." It couldn't help but tremble and close its eyes, and a line of tears passed through the corners of its eyes.

However, the next moment.

Before Linglong Mouse finished its last words, it suddenly opened its amber eyes and looked at the hands in front of it that were full of vitality, and the man in shock.

Not only did it not die in the hands of the man, but there was a surging vitality in its body. The huge crack in its abdomen was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye with the help of that tempting vitality.

Not only that, the shackles of Linglong Mouse, which existed only in the invisible and were originally as hard as iron, actually slowly cracked a gap under the impact of that vitality.

Its potential, life level... strength, just like an hour ago, are all rising at a rapid speed, but this time the focus is on potential, not life level.

Mid-stage one, late stage one... peak stage one...

"Pah~"

Like a piece of glass falling from a height onto a concrete floor, a crisp sound that was both unexpected and reasonable rang in Linglong Mouse's mind.

Its potential and the ceiling that it could touch in the future were directly raised to the second stage with the help of the surging vitality, and the speed of upward growth showed no sign of slowing down.

Moreover, its life level also easily broke through to the middle stage one and was heading towards the late stage one.

The life level was raised so quickly, and it should have many side effects, but now Linglong Mouse was extremely comfortable, and all the pores on his body were breathing fresh air freely.

This was an evolution of life.

It was also an unprecedented experiment, an experiment about the Creator.

"Squeak! Squeak, squeak~~"

After feeling its own state, the Linglong Mouse couldn't help but let out a joyful cry, but when it shifted its attention to the man.

The originally joyful cry suddenly became anxious, and at the same time, all its limbs began to flutter, trying to stop the man's behavior.

"Don't move." However, an unquestionable voice suddenly rang in its ears. It looked at the man's firm eyes and finally chose to surrender.

"It turns out that with the exhaustion of martial arts potential, comprehension, thinking ability, mental strength... will be weakened accordingly, and life span is actually included in martial arts potential."

It was only a moment, while the vitality of the Linglong Mouse became more and more vigorous.

Shen Bailian's originally black and shiny hair has already appeared with silver strands, and a few...many wrinkles have gradually appeared on his fair face.

The straight waist also became more and more bent with the passage of time and the outflow of the increasingly surging "life" force, as if it had entered old age in the blink of an eye.

But it looked more like its body was hollowed out.

"Squeak~ Squeak~"

The exquisite mouse looked at the man who was gradually covered by silver threads and couldn't help but let out a sad cry. For the first time in so many years, it felt that the human race seemed to be just a race among all living things.

There was no difference between it and other kinds of fierce beasts.

And the man in front of him actually sacrificed his life for it. In all the years of its life as an animal, it had never experienced such a situation.

How could such a man not be worthy of his loyalty?

It wanted to stop the man, but it didn't dare to. It could only continue to make a wailing sound, hoping to disturb the man, make him upset, and finally stop this meaningless behavior.

However.

Linglong Mouse was just overthinking, because once Shen Bailian made up his mind, he would never change it no matter what, not to mention that it was just some noise.

"Hua La La~~"

Linglong Mouse's pupils shrank suddenly, because it felt that the "life" power in its body not only showed no signs of weakening, but also became more and more turbulent.

At the same time, Shen Bailian's vitality was declining at a much faster rate. The original wrinkles soon turned into wrinkles, and the originally fair skin was rapidly dehydrated as if it had been dried by the wind...

For this experiment, he decided to devote all of himself to see what kind of state he could evolve a beast that had not even entered the rank.

...

More than half an hour later.

The night fell, the silver light was like a silk thread, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, gently covering the vast land with a layer of soft and mysterious silver yarn.

"Roar!" "Roar!!!"

Accompanied by roars like thunder, several of the most powerful copper-armored demon wolves in this forest actually showed timidity at this time.

And in the center of the forest.

A white fox-like beast with a shoulder height of three or four meters and a length of six or seven meters stood quietly in the clearing in the forest. Its fur was as white as snow, without a trace of color, crystal clear, like flowing mercury. Its eyes flashed a faint green light in the dark night, sharp and deep.

Its figure appeared particularly otherworldly under the moonlight, as if it was a spirit creature descended from the nine heavens.

"Roar!"

With a low and powerful roar, the battle broke out instantly.

The white fox's body was like lightning, leaving silver afterimages under the moonlight. Its sharp claws flashed cold light under the moonlight, and it shuttled and jumped among the bronze-armored demon wolves. Every attack was accurate and fatal, leaving shocking scars.

Amidst the roars, cries, and screams that frightened the birds, the battle was almost over in just a few seconds.

When the last ray of moonlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the land stained red with blood, the invading beasts had all fallen, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood and victory.

"Shh~"

"Puff~"

The Linglong Rat did not hesitate, and its sharp claws cut through the scales of the copper-armored demon wolf, enjoying this gluttonous feast to its heart's content. Its stomach was like a bottomless pit, and several copper-armored demon wolves only expanded its abdomen by a tiny amount.

And, with the disappearance of a copper-armored demon wolf, the power of the Linglong Rat became even stronger, devouring the same kind of beasts, allowing its life level to rise rapidly.

"Woo~~"

The Linglong Rat looked back and looked at the location of the canyon. For more than ten seconds, it cried to the sky, then jumped into the dense forest and continued its hunting journey.

"It seems that the effect of God's Hand is far more powerful than I imagined..."
