Immediately, the girl's abdomen jolted violently, and a strange force forcefully pushed outward from the inside.
Whoosh!!
The next moment, a pair of hands covered in lumps emerged from the woman's stomach, the lumps rolling with a split in the middle, eyes full of venomous hatred glaring at Su Tu from within.
Then, an extremely ugly head emerged, resembling a humanoid but with two thin red antennae. The face looked like that of an ant, yet it was made of human flesh, appearing utterly disgusting.
"It really is a bug."
Su Tu looked at the creature in front of him, his eyes cold, an indescribable sense of danger pricking him like needles.
The creature exerted force with its whole body, crawling out from the abdomen. Though its entire body was only the size of a baby, Su Tu's intuition told him that this creature was several times stronger than before.
"Human, you actually allowed me to be reborn, truly damnable. This body isn't even fully nourished yet!!"
"I've changed my mind. I want to propagate with this woman in front of you and then watch your face in despair, accompanied by your wails, as I eat you bit by bit!!" The baby's voice was filled with unspeakable venom.
Countless red vines floated around, but now they could no longer be called vines; they were strands of red threads as thin as hair.
These red threads appeared slender but were extremely sharp. A few threads sliced through the surroundings, instantly cutting the furniture into pieces.
Its body twisted slightly, as if undergoing some change.
But in the blink of an eye, Su Tu had already surged up in front of it.
He clenched his fist with one hand, internal organs resonating, concealed with muffled thunder, and directly aimed the blow at the baby's weak body.
Who fights fairly and waits for the enemy to transform?
With Su Tu's full-force assault, a punch swung out, compressing the air into a resounding boom.
Bang!!
Just as the punch was about to pierce through the creature's body, the baby's body twisted rapidly, growing swiftly, finally catching Su Tu's punch with a lump-covered large hand.
Dominance, danger, and brutality filled the entire room.
The creature grew immensely tall, its muscles menacing, radiating extraordinarily dangerous vibes.
"Too bad, this body isn't fully developed yet, only temporarily reaching the peak of the first tier, but it's enough to crush you."
"Remember, the one who will slaughter you is Lord Kashashitsu." Grabbing Su Tu's body, it instantly flung him away.
With a loud crash, Su Tu was heavily smashed into the wall, shattering it entirely.
With every acupoint a martial artist opens, there is a noticeable increase in strength, and this creature's strength is at the peak of the first tier, equivalent to a martial artist with 108 acupoints opened.
Yet Su Tu had only opened one acupoint, the gap between them was immense.
However, facing an enemy with such a huge strength gap, there was still no sign of panic in Su Tu's eyes.
"You said you would crush me, I will certainly crush you!" Su Tu's voice was cold, containing a trace of fervor.
Before his eyes, the system prompt quietly appeared, settling the proficiency from when the creature's head was first smashed by Su Tu...
[You just experienced a life-and-death battle, Fighting Proficiency +100!! Body Strengthening Proficiency +50!]
[Fighting (Middle Tier): 50/1000]
[Strengthen Body (Middle Tier): 452/1000]
Meanwhile.
North Sea Public Security Bureau.
Secret Operations Execution Department, a massive 3D projection suddenly flashed with red light, and an urgent alarm blared rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, a previously empty conference room suddenly had four or five people appear.
The person in the lead was the middle-aged man with glasses who had previously been meeting with Zhou Wuliang and the others.
"Phase Two of Tai Bo District, there's been an intense mental disturbance, suspected appearance of a 'beast,' please proceed immediately!"
None of them spoke, and the wristbands on their wrists quickly displayed the location of Tai Bo District.
The next moment, their figures swiftly vanished from the conference room.
The leader was tall and imposing, with a face exuding a sense of boldness. It was none other than Li Hu, and beneath his feet seemed to trail a layer of silent thunder. Every step he took flashed with a hint of lightning, leaving the others behind him.
"Li Hu, why are you in such a hurry?" A sly figure barely kept up with Li Hu.
"Lives are at stake, what do you think is my reason?" Li Hu didn't want to say much to this person and quickened his pace.
But the mischievous figure spoke with a certain disdain, "It's just a bunch of natives from the Ancestor Star, why hurry? Let that beast kill them first. The more it kills, the greater our achievement in exterminating it."
Upon hearing these words, Li Hu's face darkened a bit.
"What the hell are you saying?!" He grabbed the person by the collar with one hand, his eyes red, as if hearing something unbelievable.
The person caught in his hand had a pale face with exaggerated dark circles. Facing the furious Li Hu, he spoke calmly.
"I really don't understand, what are you pretending for?"
"We followed our master to the Ancestor Star for nothing more than two things: one, opportunity, and two, experience. As for the lives and deaths of these natives, who cares!" the person spoke indifferently.
They were all martial artists from New Star, each backed by a Dao lineage, with supporters as strong as Zhou Wuliang.
They came to Ancestor Star under the pretense of exterminating all foreign races entering Ancestor Star, but their real purpose was solely the Inheritance Land that recently illuminated the entire Star River. As for the native humans of Ancestor Star, they were insignificant in their eyes.
Li Hu's thunderous gaze swept over the others; they remained silent not wanting to offend Li Hu, but deep down, they agreed with this person's words.
Seeing this, Li Hu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Many in the Federation, and even New Star, harbored such thoughts. The Ancestor Star had been isolated for too long, with backward technology, a disparity in life levels, and gaps in eras—this led many from New Star to have a deeply rooted disdain for Ancestor Star humans, filled with a sense of superiority.
Many referred to the humans of Ancestor Star as natives.
There were even many from the new generation who didn't know that within the Solar System, there was a blue planet, the origin of all humankind.
"Chen Yuan! You look down on the humans of Ancestor Star, but don't forget, without them, you wouldn't even get a speck of the opportunities you're after!" Li Hu's voice was low.
"Pfft! They're just kids playing house. Do you really think any of these natives could give rise to a Martial Arts Dao prodigy that resonates with the 'Immortals'?" Chen Yuan scoffed.
"To be honest, if it weren't for the Douluo Palace ruins, I really wouldn't know what value Ancestor Star holds. Resource scarcity, backward technology, even Martial Arts Dao is just opening up."
"The only value these natives have is to stain our bodies with their luck!"
Chen Yuan spoke coldly, stepping onto the sky, looking down on the entire city with a trace of disdain.
Li Hu, upon hearing this, didn't want to say another word. He and Elder Zhou had traveled the heavens, already aware that the Federation had changed, and there were too many people with such thoughts. He couldn't manage them all; he could only manage himself.
"In the end, these natives are just foils. Once my cousin arrives, seizes the top in the martial exams, and takes the luck, I can quickly leave this rundown place."
Chen Yuan continued, his words seemingly full of confidence in his cousin.
However, upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Li Hu's lips slightly curled. In his mind appeared the 'little junior brother' who almost drained him dry, the student who troubled his master with overly high talent.
"Hey, Chen Yuan, you know, being weak isn't scary, but ignorance is. If your cousin, whom you take pride in, can't even catch a glimpse of a native's backside, how would you feel?" After saying this, thunder flashed beneath Li Hu's feet, and in an instant, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
He didn't have the habit of setting up his own people and naturally wouldn't take his little junior brother out to bet, drawing hatred. But if the scene he just described really happened in the future, it would indeed be interesting...
Chen Yuan and the others, hearing Li Hu's words, all smiled disdainfully, thinking it was just angry talk, not taking it to heart, each leisurely flying in the sky.
"Xiao Tu, Brother Hu will start real combat training with you tomorrow. You definitely need to make me proud!"
Li Hu thought to himself, from his understanding, his little junior brother had an extraordinary physical talent, and was extremely gifted in techniques. Though he couldn't help much in matters of the heart and spirit, he had experience in real combat. His little junior brother had always been on Blue Star, just getting into Martial Arts Dao, so he likely lacked fighting experience. Li Hu planned to train him well in combat!!
What he didn't know was that at this very moment, the little junior brother he thought of as 'weak in fighting,' was continuously punching a monster, making its body a bloody mess and causing blood to splatter everywhere!
"How is this possible!!!" Kashashitsu looked at the human in front of it in shock, its once powerful body reduced to a bloody pulp.
Looking at the young figure across, the eyes that were once constantly arrogant were now filled with deep fear.
"How could there be such a monster on the Human Ancestor Star, did you break the three locks?!" Its voice was filled with terror, unable to believe what had just happened.
And opposite it, Su Tu nonchalantly shook off the blood on his hand, the fighting spirit in his eyes blazing like fire.
He raised his index finger to his lips, making a 'shh' sound.
"For a dying bug, there's no need for so many words!"
At this moment, the Xie Race, which always viewed humans as ants, truly seemed like a bug in front of Su Tu!
