145: make trouble?

Rich spiritual energy gathered from all corners of heaven and earth.

The spiritual energy within Tianyu Sect was several times denser than usual, surging like mist, so thick it was almost impenetrable.

Many fierce beasts within it instinctively broke through their past bottlenecks, their essence, qi, and spirit greatly enhanced, growing at an unimaginable rate as if they were in a mother's womb.

Compared to fierce beasts, the changes in humans were even more astonishing.

After discovering that they could independently absorb and refine spiritual energy, many people in the city began to test their strength.

A punch landed heavily on the punch-testing machine, which roared as the numbers on the display screen rapidly soared, eventually exceeding the 999kg test limit, causing the machine to smoke.

Liu Jian, the burly man who threw that punch, stared at the testing machine in astonishment.

He was a professional boxer, inherently powerful, but before this, even at his peak, he could only deliver a punch of about 200kg.

But now, after being able to absorb spiritual energy, that single punch had directly broken through the human limit by an unknown multiple.

A punch exceeding 1000kg!

This was completely superhuman strength!

Liu Jian clenched his fists, his muscles trembling with excitement.

With such formidable power, he would no longer have to face those F-tier fierce beasts in despair, nor would he have to watch helplessly as his girlfriend was devoured alive during a fierce beast attack!

He now had the strength to resist demonic beasts and could absorb spiritual energy to begin cultivating!

His long-cherished dream had truly come true!

Aside from Liu Jian, many others who tested their physical changes through various methods were incredulously discovering that their strength had increased by several, even dozens of times!

This sudden, earth-shattering change in strength also significantly altered their mental state.

After all, with power, the fierce beasts they once had to grovel before no longer seemed so terrifying in their eyes!

The suppressed killing intent towards fierce beasts began to surge uncontrollably from their hearts.

The scenes of friends, family, and fellow humans dying tragically at the hands of fierce beasts completely turned their eyes blood red, and thoughts of revenge instantly seized their minds.

There were also some Gene Warriors whose foundations were very solid; after the spiritual energy's purity underwent a qualitative change, they also found that their strength had increased to a greater extent.

If before they could only deal with E-tier fierce beasts with all their might, now, under the continuous nourishment of spiritual energy, he was confident he could handle D-tier fierce beasts!

Once he joined forces with others, he even had the confidence to eradicate them!

Immediately, these Gene Warriors quickly gathered to discuss plans for revenge against the fierce beasts; they hadn't dared to seek revenge before because they lacked strength, but now with power, their confidence swelled.

And more ordinary people within Tianyu Sect, after gaining strength, also couldn't sit still.

Once they encountered any conflict with others, they almost always resorted to direct physical confrontation to determine superiority, completely devoid of morality, as if civilization had regressed several millennia, becoming a primitive society.

When facing the fierce beasts responsible for patrols within the sect, killing intent also surged in their hearts.

They no longer treated them with deference.

Large and small conflicts within the sect began to appear rapidly.

The increase in strength brought to humanity not only power but also their ferocity and greater conflicts of interest, completely changing their previous demeanor.

Soon, in the peripheral area of Tianyu Sect, a F-tier fierce beast was walking, and its tail accidentally knocked over a young girl. The girl's parents immediately called out to the fierce beast, which was about to leave.

"You must stop and apologize to my daughter!"

The sudden increase in strength, comparable to F-tier, made the girl's parents unable to contain their excitement over their newfound power, nor could they suppress their inner arrogance, demanding that the F-tier fierce beast apologize.

However, the F-tier fierce beast clearly had no intention of acknowledging them and continued to walk on its own.

The F-tier fierce beast's attitude made the girl's parents unable to bear the suppressed rage any longer. The two, one on each side, simultaneously attacked the F-tier fierce beast.

After being cleansed by spiritual energy, their strength had broken through to F-tier; they had already tested it and definitely possessed the ability to contend with an F-tier fierce beast.

That's why they dared to act so decisively.

The F-tier fierce beast clearly hadn't expected that the once subservient humans would suddenly launch an attack, and even more, it hadn't expected their attacks to be so powerful.

With just two heavy punches landing on its body, the F-tier fierce beast's back caved in, its bones shattered, and its tendons broken as it was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, dying on the spot.

With the death of this F-tier fierce beast, the fierce beasts and humans present stared blankly at the scene.

None of them had expected that an F-tier fierce beast, once unconquerable, would die just like that!

And it died at the hands of their human race.

For a moment, the anger that had been suppressed by the fierce beasts' oppression transformed into cheers, making the area instantly boisterous.

Several E-tier fierce beasts responsible for patrolling here glared furiously at the fallen girl and her parents, then charged forward en masse.

Splat~

The sound of flesh being torn quickly emanated from the three of them.

In just an instant, they were mercilessly slaughtered by several fierce beasts, becoming their food.

"No?! Kill them! Kill them!"

"No more human compatriots can die at the hands of fierce beasts! Avenge them, avenge the loved ones who died in the past!"

As the three of them were about to be completely devoured, someone shouted loudly, instantly stimulating the shocked crowd, who snapped out of their stupor and rushed towards the fierce beasts.

Under the call of that voice, it was as if one call brought a hundred responses.

Not only did the humans present, with bloodshot eyes and faces full of killing intent, charge towards those E-tier fierce beasts, but even those outside this peripheral area were attracted.

For a time, the scope of this incident's impact grew larger and larger, and more and more humans participated, almost becoming a torrent.

Liu Jian and many other powerful individuals, as well as some Gene Warriors, also rushed to the scene and began to attack the fierce beasts.

Humans were no longer as weak as before; they had been overwhelmed by their own powerful strength and desire for revenge.

Thus, with the collision point between fierce beasts and humans as the core, it became like a giant meat grinder, with countless blood, severed limbs, and broken arms flying everywhere.

There were human ones, and there were also fierce beast ones.

The scene was exceptionally tragic!

As this large-scale conflict intensified, Lu Yu, who had been observing in secret, also decided to act.
