Chapter 124: Eyes of Truth – Close Combat
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After obtaining the talent ability and prefix title, Blackie had yet to appear.
It was obviously unrealistic to return to Star City Shelter now.
Without the protection of Suction Cup, coupled with the long journey and Blackie’s pursuit, Feng Qi felt that he would definitely die on the way.
Taking advantage of the time, he decided to continue hunting the nearby domain creatures to obtain innate abilities to increase his strength.
Especially obtaining bloodline evolution points. This concerned obtaining information from Mu Yao’s memories.
Perhaps there was detailed information about the dark forces in her memories.
However, he could not tell the strength of the domain creatures. He still had to rely on the detection ability of the narrator.
At this thought, he immediately said, “Narrator, help me find another weak creature before the Blood Source ability dissipates.”
[What a miserable working system. I don’t get a salary, but you still ask me to do this and that all day long. How sad. I really hope you can obtain a special talent ability similar to the Eye of Truth and find them yourself.]
“Eye of Truth, what kind of innate ability is this?” Feng Qi was stunned.
[It’s similar to my detection ability. With the Eye of Truth, you can read the details of the target. It’s an extremely powerful soul analysis and perception ability.]
After listening to the narrator’s explanation, Feng Qi was immediately interested.
“How can 1 obtain this ability?”
[The strength of a domain creature with the Eye of Truth must be extremely terrifying. Given your current strength, forget it. This Gold-grade innate ability is not something you can covet now.]
“Gold-grade innate ability?” Feng Qi asked in confusion again.
This was the first time he knew that apart from his own strength, innate abilities were also divided into levels.
In the real world, the criteria for humans to judge strength came from domain creatures.
The original builders of the cultivation system divided the strength of domain creatures and humans into Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
The standards for this came from the Calamity Domain Field.
It was also one of the large-scale domain fields that had caused the greatest losses to mankind in history.
After it descended into the real world, it quickly spread and expanded, quickly devouring several cities.
In order to resist the expansion of the Calamity Domain Field, the early alliance army was established. A large number of human experts joined in and fought against this domain field for 13 years.
The Joint Domain Combat Team formed by the historical God of Combat, Ye Huang, was also broken up in the battle against the invasion of the Calamity Domain Field.
Along with the Calamity Domain Field, a large number of powerful humanoid lifeforms descended.
They had an obvious life characteristic. The level of their strength was related to the color of the blood flowing in their bodies. From low to high, they were: black, green, silver, and gold.
Humans used this to set the strength criteria for Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
However, other than judging the strength of a domain creature, there was also an expanded criterion for judging the “disaster level”.
From low to high, they were divided into five levels: Yin, Evil, Fang, Shokuin, and Chaos.
Disaster levels were related to strength, but they were not entirely so.
For example, the special domain creature, Spring Poison, was only at the intermediate Bronze grade.
However, its ability was to create a plague. In serious cases, it could even destroy a city. The disaster level had reached the Fang level.
Therefore, calamities were judged by destructive power.
Originally, Feng Qi thought that all innate abilities were like a seed with infinite possibilities.
After listening to the narrator’s answer, he suddenly realized that there were strong and weak innate abilities.
[Of course, there are strong and weak innate abilities. Some innate abilities have reached a height that ordinary abilities can’t surpass. For example, the “Eye of Truth” 1 mentioned. Even the LV1 seed of the Eye of Truth ability is stronger than f Resilience at LVi,ooo.]
“Then are there any innate abilities above Gold-grade?”
[Yes!]
Feng Qi asked casually and didn’t expect the narrator to give an affirmative answer. He couldn’t help but continue asking,
“Could it be that a domain creature that possesses such an ability has already surpassed the Gold grade?”
[Mankind’s criteria for strength have always been broken time and time again. In the beginning, the criteria for judging strength set by humans were grades S to E. In fact, it was equivalent to the current low Iron to high Bronze. Later on, when a human powerhouse broke through S-grade, the criteria for judging human strength were modified.]
[The limit of a domain creature’s strength is not at the Gold grade, but the upper limit of human strength at this stage is only at the Gold grade.]
After listening to the narrator’s explanation, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
As far as he knew, according to the report from the Domain Research Institute, the strength level of the super ferocious beast in the sea had a high chance of surpassing the Gold grade. It was comparable to the ancient ferocious beasts in myths and could easily cause a tsunami-level disaster.
[So don’t bite off more than you can chew. You have to take it step by step. Killing a domain creature is equivalent to depriving you of a talent seed. It’s impossible for you to obtain power like a god in one go.]
“Then please help me find any domain creatures with a mental growth system nearby. I’m going to start becoming stronger.”
[I’m sorry, the system has been malfunctioning recently. I can only find domain monsters suitable for the muscular man’s growth system nearby.]
“Alright, go ahead. It’s fine as long as 1 can defeat it.”
[Perception in progress… Target detected at 11 o’clock. Bald muscular man, attack!]
Hearing the narrator’s notification, Feng Qi leaned forward and suddenly exerted strength under his feet. His body shot out like a cannonball and ran in the 11 o’clock direction.
The wind whistled in his ears as he ran. Every step he took could cover a few meters, leaving deep footprints behind him.
Soon, the target appeared in his vision.
It was a humanoid monster covered in firm muscles. It was more than two meters tall and wore a white bone mask on its face, revealing only its dark green eyes. Its exact appearance could not be seen, and it was holding a spear made of bones in its right hand.
It seemed to have also discovered Feng Qi, who was rushing over quickly. It let out a demonstrative cry and turned around to aim its bone spear at him.
There was not much time left for the Blood Source ability. Feng Qi did not want to waste time and immediately pounced at the humanoid domain creature.
The moment the bone spear was about to touch his body, psyche power seeped out of his body. He pushed the bone spear to the side and smashed his huge fist at the humanoid domain creature’s head.
However, to his surprise, the domain creature suddenly turned sideways and dodged his fist. Then, it suddenly raised its right knee and slammed it into Feng Qi’s chest.
The powerful impact sent Feng Qi flying.
[Tss, it hurts just looking at it. Can you be smarter? Don’t think that all domain creatures only know how to use brute force. Domain creatures with intelligence know combat techniques.]
The mockery of the narrator sounded in his mind.
When Feng Qi heard this, he released his psyche Power and stabilized himself in the air.
Looking at the humanoid domain creature that slowly lowered its right leg and let out another warning roar at him, he decisively pounced at it again.
His psychokinesis turned into invisible chains at this moment, temporarily binding the humanoid domain creature to the spot.
His huge fist hit the domain creature’s head firmly this time.
Crack!
A crack appeared on the white bone mask. Its body leaned back, and a momentary daze appeared in its eyes as if it was stunned by this punch.
However, what he didn’t expect was that the humanoid domain creature’s right hand suddenly let go of the bone spear, and then, a fierce punch landed on his face.
The two of them were sent flying at the same time.
Standing up again, Feng Qi spat out the blood in his mouth and assumed the starting stance of the Ferocious Tiger Fist.
“Again!”
At this moment, his psyche power was exhausted, but it also aroused the ferocity in his heart.
He exerted strength under his feet and pounced at the humanoid domain creature again. The domain creature also chose to pounce at him.
The close combat between fists and flesh began.
The duration of the Blood Source ability was limited, so Feng Qi completely gave up on defense and allowed the punches to hit him.
He received a punch and returned it just like that.
Fresh blood dripped down the surface of his body. He seemed to have been possessed as he kept punching.
[Tsk tsk, what a good seedling. It’s a pity not to walk the path of a muscular man. With this close combat posture, your future is promising.]
Facing Feng Qi’s crazy attacks, the humanoid domain creature seemed to panic.
It obviously wanted to stay alive. It did not want to die with Feng Qi, so it changed its stance from offense to defense.
After resisting several punches from Feng Qi, the humanoid domain creature suddenly stretched out its hands and grabbed the right fist that was swinging at it. Then, it wrapped its legs around hi’s left leg and suddenly leaned back to flip him to the ground.
Feng Qi immediately tried his best to break free, but the humanoid domain creature did not give him a chance at all. As its body moved, its feet blocked the point of strength exertion in his legs. Its hands locked onto his neck and began to close in.
This made him realize that he wa in a bad situation.
If he could not break free, his head might be twisted off by the humanoid domain creature.
[If you can’t break free, bite it. I’m anxious just looking at you. It’s not like you can’t use your teeth to attack in the arena. As long as you can kill it, you can use any move you want. What monkey stealing peaches, fishing the moon in the seaO- If that thing of yours is a weapon, no one will say that you broke the rules even if you kill it with a swing of your gun. Stupid pig!]
After hearing the narrator’s notification, he did not hesitate and immediately opened his mouth to bite the humanoid domain creature’s arm.
With the enhancement, his teeth easily bit through the hard muscles of the domain creature and came into contact with the bone.
Crack!
When the sound of bones breaking sounded, the humanoid domain creature let out a miserable scream.
Feng Qi immediately turned around and punched its chin.
Crack.
Its jaw was immediately displaced, clearly dislocated.
Feng Qi’s thick right arm grabbed the neck of the humanoid domain creature and pressed it to the ground.
Thud!
Taking advantage of the fact that the humanoid domain creature was in unbearable pain, his fists descended like a storm and smashed fiercely onto the white bone mask.
Finally, when the muscles on the surface of his body turned into a bloody mist and dissipated with the wind, the humanoid domain creature he was riding on had already lost its vitality.
[I didn’t lie to you, did I? In addition to learning various combat techniques in close combat, you also have to understand that any part of the body is a weapon. Teeth are indeed useless under ordinary circumstances, but they can also have unexpected effects under certain conditions.]
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qi immediately nodded.
“Thank you. Listening to you was indeed the right thing to do.”
[You’re being too polite. You don’t have to thank your father. Take note next time.]
“Idiotic system.”
[Idiotic living dead!]
At this moment, a stream of blood mist appeared on the surface of the humanoid domain creature’s body and entered his body.
Just as Feng Qi was about to open the interface to see what new talent ability he had obtained, a commotion not far away attracted his attention.
He turned around and saw a group of figures with bone spears and bone masks rushing toward him.
Seeing this, he turned around and ran without hesitation.
The fierceness he had when he was fighting with his life on the line just now was completely gone at this moment.
