The street was bustling with people coming and going. Among the passersby, apart from the majority of ordinary people, there were a small number of cultivators exuding powerful auras.
Chu Mo’s footsteps didn’t stop as he quickly arrived at a commercial street.
“Last Level 1 Inferior Earth Devouring Worm!”
“Level 1 Superior Wind Chaser Wolf, only three million!”
“Bronze-Grade Martial Skill, selling for cheap!”
“…”
The hawking voices of the vendors on both sides of the street resounded in his ears.
Since the great change in the world, humans relied on cultivators to establish bases. Cultivators were the backbone of society, giving rise to many industries related to cultivation and martial arts.
For example, on this commercial street, the items sold were all related to Ferocious Beasts.
Chu Mo’s eyes kept scanning the Ferocious Beast carcasses sold by the surrounding vendors, but unfortunately, most of them were only Level 1 Ferocious Beasts.
The best one was only a Level 2 inferior Ferocious Beast. It was equivalent to a Martial Artist.
His absorption ability could only select one target per month. This time, his purpose was to obtain a Higher-Tier Talent or Physique to enhance the speed of his cultivation. He had to select the carcass of a powerful Ferocious Beast.
Although being powerful didn’t mean their Talent or Physique would be powerful, at the very least, the chances of them having a good Talent were much higher than those weak ones.
After walking around, Chu Mo still didn’t see any more powerful Ferocious Beast carcass.
This made him feel regretful.
He originally planned to settle for that Level 2 Ferocious Beast, but who knew that at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from not far away.
“The Chasing Wind Hunting Team has returned!”
“They slew a powerful Level 3 Ferocious Beast!”
It was unknown who cried out first, but in an instant, the entire street erupted in commotion.
“The Chasing Wind Hunting Team?”
“They actually slew a Level 3 Ferocious Beast!”
“This is quite rare. Let’s go and take a look!”
In an instant, many people crowded over, planning to see the Chasing Wind Team and the Level 3 Ferocious Beast they had slain.
On the street, Chu Mo heard this and was also stunned.
He had heard of the reputation of the Chasing Wind Hunting Team.
It was a very powerful team in the Luyang Base. The captain was named Zhui Feng(Chasing Wind) and was said to have awakened the Mid-Tier Wind Element Talent. He was already a Martial Master. Under his command were more than a dozen Late-Stage Martial Masters and Early-Stage Martial Masters.
Their team could be considered a relatively powerful force within the base.
Of course, Chu Mo was more concerned about the Level 3 Ferocious Beast they had hunted. A Level 3 Ferocious Beast was already comparable to a human Martial Master.
It must have very powerful Talents.
[Let’s go take a look!] Chu Mo immediately made up his mind and followed the crowd over.
He quickly reached the street intersection and saw a surging crowd.
The Chasing Wind Hunting Team had a great reputation in the Luyang Base, and many people regarded them as idols.
At this moment, they all gathered around. On one hand, they wanted to admire the team members’ elegance, and on the other hand, they wanted to see what a Level 3 Ferocious Beast looked like.
When Chu Mo had just squeezed into the crowd, he heard exclamations ringing out one after another.
“It’s actually an Earth Wyvern!”
“Isn’t this the Ferocious Beast that has been rampaging at the north of the base? It’s said to have already entered the Mid-Stage Level 3. Many have fallen victim to it, and some Martial Masters have been devoured by it!”
“The Chasing Wind Team was actually able to hunt it down. Their captain Zhui Feng should already be a Mid-Stage Martial Master, right?”
“How terrifying!”
Chu Mo looked over and saw more than a dozen cultivators standing on the street, their entire bodies emitting powerful auras.
One of their cultivators spoke up, “Our Chasing Wind Hunting Team is very powerful. Captain Zhui Feng is already a Mid-Stage Martial Master and can hunt Level 3 Ferocious Beasts. We are now sincerely recruiting team members. The requirement is to have the strength of a Late-Stage Martial Master and above. If you have an Element Talent, it can be lowered to Early-Stage Martial Master. As for compensation…”
Chu Mo didn’t pay attention to what this cultivator was saying. Instead, his focus was on what was ahead of them.
A huge Ferocious Beast carcass was placed on the ground.
It looked a bit like a pangolin, but its body was very large, a full three meters long. The fangs in its mouth were extremely sharp and they even flashed with a cold light.
Even though it was already dead, it still carried a heavy oppressive aura. Standing in front of it made one feel as if they were suffocating.
Chu Mo noticed that someone was carefully touching the Earth Wyvern’s carcass, so he also squeezed over. When no one was paying attention, he secretly touched the carcass, pretending to be curious.
| Target: Level 3 Mid-Tier Ferocious Beast Earth Wyvern! Can be absorbed! Do you want to proceed with absorption? |
An information screen appeared before his eyes.
Chu Mo didn’t have the slightest hesitation and silently chanted [Absorb!] in his heart.
| Absorption was successful! Obtained Mid-Tier Cultivation Physique! Do you wish to fuse with it? |
He didn’t immediately fuse with it. Rather, he hid what he got with a flip of his hand, then quietly retreated.
Although he could continue absorbing, Chu Mo was afraid that if he absorbed its Blood Essence it would cause the Chasing Wind Team to discover something abnormal, so he stopped in time.
In any case, he had already obtained what he needed most. There was no need to be greedy and take risks.
His actions were extremely fast, taking no more than three seconds in total.
Moreover, Chu Mo did it covertly, so no one noticed anything unusual about him.
Leaving the crowd, he could still hear that member of the Chasing Wind Team recruiting people.
At this time, Chu Mo had already started walking back home.
Returning home, he locked himself in his room.
Chu Mo took out the Physique he had absorbed from the carcass. There, a trace of uncontrollable joy appeared on his face.
“Mid-Tier Cultivation Physique!”
The Physique came in the form of a white sphere, about the size of a glass bead. It containing extremely profound Principles.
After carefully appreciating it for a moment, he silently chanted “Fuse!”
As his voice fell.
Boom!
A burst of violent and mysterious energy rushed into his body, rampaging through his limbs and bones.
Under this power, Chu Mo could feel the bones and muscles in his body being continuously shattered and reconstructed. This cycle continued as an intense wave of pain flash by again and again.
Fortunately, he was already prepared, so he gritted his teeth without making a sound.
About ten seconds later.
The pain subsided.
Chu Mo was drenched in sweat, panting heavily.
With the experience from last time, he understood that this was the result of the fusion being completed.
“Let’s see what’s the effect of a Mid-Tier Cultivation Physique!” Chu Mo rested for a while, then stood up and began practicing the Twenty-One Forms Body Tempering Technique.
A quarter of an hour later, a complete set of the Body Tempering Technique was fully executed.
The next moment, a powerful warm current surged into his body from all directions, then slowly flowed through his limbs and bones, tempering his body.
This warm current had increased by at least tenfold compared to when he only had his Lightning Element Talent before!
“Terrifying! This Mid-Tier Cultivation Physique is amazingly potent! Practicing with it once is equivalent to doing it more than ten times with my previous Physique! If this continues, even without the boost of Ferocious Beast Blood Essence, I can become a Martial Artist within half a year! If I still make use of Ferocious Beast Blood Essence, I am guaranteed to become a full-fledged Martial Artist within three months!”
Feeling this accelerated cultivation speed, Chu Mo revealed a smile.

I’m gonna be pretty upset if he just immediately becomes stronger than the girl that’s been taking care of him. After all the work she’s done over the years to take care of him while he laid around. Then he just immediately becomes stronger with little to no warning.
Talk about demoralizing.
