85: You are such a good fighter, don't scare us.

Whoosh…

Corrupted minced meat, foul-smelling blood, and broken bone fragments splattered across the alleyway.

The Exploding Ape looked down at its chest the second before it died.

A fist-sized hole had not only shattered its heart.

It had also pierced through its back.

Rumble…

The Exploding Ape didn't even let out a shriek before it instantly died, collapsing to the ground.

Shen Bei turned back, baring his teeth in a smile: “A bit fragile.”

A bit fragile…

Fragile…

When those three words left his mouth, Li Quanyou was utterly numb.

What the hell!

Although I haven't had actual combat experience, the power of a rapid-fire combo isn't low!

I was slapped by the Exploding Ape and bled.

But Shen Bei killed the Exploding Ape with one punch!

Shock!

It was too damn surprising!

At this moment, a mix of fear and joy appeared on Li Quanyou’s face.

Fear because Shen Bei’s strength was too formidable.

Joy because he hadn't bled in vain; it seemed there was hope of survival?

“You… you are a Martial Artist?”

Shen Bei nodded, spreading his hands: “No more pretending, I’m coming clean, I am a Martial Artist.”

“At least a Second Grade, right?”

“First Grade.”

Li Quanyou: ???

Is this the strength a First-Rank Martial Artist should display?

Did you tamper with the scale?

Are you trying to step on my face?

And… a Martial Artist doing odd jobs?

Are you serious?!

Li Quanyou’s mouth twitched: “You’re impressive.”

The other laborers also erupted with immense hope for survival, speaking up one after another:

“He… he killed it!”

“If you had just thrown one more punch, I wouldn't be this shocked.”

“This is true instant kill! If I can get out of here alive, I can brag about it for a year.”

“Little brother is awesome!”

“What are you still looking at, brothers, hurry up and dig, the dungeon isn't over yet, survive!”

…

The laborers were long unable to extricate themselves from the immense shock of Shen Bei’s one-punch kill of the Exploding Ape.

But they quickly realized that the matter was far from over.

The Exploding Ape was merely an appetizer for the dungeon, and more dungeon creatures were crawling over.

They quickly picked up their shovels and began their work, digging a survival passage to leave the dangerous area as soon as possible.

In almost an instant.

A rustling sound came from deep within the alleyway again.

Shen Bei walked expressionlessly towards the depths.

Soon, a Vicious Beast with a body over twenty meters long including its tail, resembling a Dragon, with hard scales comparable to alloy, unexpectedly appeared before Shen Bei.

Shen Bei didn't hesitate at all; the ground within a meter radius beneath him suddenly collapsed with one stomp of his foot, and a surging white Qi wave, accompanied by a figure like a thunderous explosion, let out a piercing shriek!

He charged directly forward!

A Tier 1 dungeon, at most, produces Tier 2 Vicious Beasts and altered humans.

Just smash them mindlessly and it’s done!

A direct punch.

The Dragon's bones and muscles groaned under the strain, its body uncontrollably bending little by little under such overwhelming power, like Mount Tai pressing down.

But the next second.

The Dragon's counterattack arrived instantly.

With a series of crisp, rapid-fire cracks, the Dragon's tail, like silk, directly locked Shen Bei, coiling him up into the air.

Lifted, then slammed!

Boom~

Boom~~~

Shen Bei, like a rag doll, was repeatedly slammed to the ground by the Dragon, leaving one deep pit after another.

And it exerted great force to crush him.

“Hiss~~~ Hiss~~~”

The Dragon let out strange noises.

Li Quanyou and the laborers on the other side were all horrified at this sight.

Shen Bei, who had easily handled the Exploding Ape just now, was now locked and handled by the Dragon!

The law of 'cool for only three seconds' was indeed terrifying!

“It’s bad! It’s bad! It’s bad!”

“This…”

“Are we still digging the survival passage?”

“Dig, dig for what?! Just wait to die.”

…

Li Quanyou’s face had completely turned purplish-red, and his eyes held an incomparable terror, looking extremely frightening.

The hope of survival that had just been ignited, just like that, vanished…

He spat out another mouthful of blood, then simply closed his eyes, unable to bear watching.

At this very moment.

Shen Bei was also cursing repeatedly in his heart.

The power of this Dragon’s tail whip was truly no joke!

Especially the locking and crushing.

Shen Bei couldn't break free for a while!

It was only because Shen Bei’s Physique attribute was high, otherwise, this series of violent slams to the ground would have killed him or left him half-dead.

Shen Bei again supported the Dragon's body with both hands, trying to break free from the increasingly tight crushing embrace.

But Shen Bei was in a state of constant up and down motion, unable to exert any force.

Instantly.

Shen Bei gave up on a head-on confrontation.

Instead, all the Qi in his body relaxed.

His entire body softened like cotton candy.

With a whoosh.

Shen Bei's figure almost instantly seemed to shrink.

He dropped directly down.

This was the body flexibility brought by the Flying Spirit Flexible Bone Fist, allowing Shen Bei to control the softness of his bones and flesh like playdough at will.

After Shen Bei escaped the predicament.

His fists and palms shifted, with one flip and one toss, the Dragon's massive body floated up like straw.

Then, Shen Bei's clothes billowed, making countless sounds like tearing silk.

Shen Bei himself, like an arrow shot from a powerful bow, burst forth, his fingers joined like a blade, his palm drawing a crimson trajectory, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, fiercely slashing towards the Dragon's body!

Pfft…

While the Dragon was falling.

Shen Bei, utilizing the internal strength like iron effect brought by the Pine Crane Longevity Fist, used his fingers like scissors, directly disemboweling it, cutting from head to tail!

The Dragon was like a balloon being popped, spewing blood wildly!

Under such a fierce and merciless combo, the Dragon was directly deprived of all life.

It slammed to the floor with a tragic death.

Shen Bei took a deep breath, calming his turbulent emotions, his gaze unwavering, and continued deeper into the alleyway.

“I was still too careless. These dungeon creatures each have their strengths, and I must treat them cautiously, otherwise, I might suffer an unexpected defeat.”

Shen Bei performed self-correction and introspection.

Killing the Exploding Ape with one punch had indeed made Shen Bei a bit proud and look down on the dungeon creatures.

Is that all?

Nothing more than that.

After all, he was too strong.

But this Dragon was a direct challenge to him.

If he hadn't learned the Flying Spirit Flexible Bone Fist, which allowed him to control the softness of his body, he might have been smashed to death by the Dragon.

At this very moment.

Li Quanyou and the laborers, seeing Shen Bei turn the tables and kill the Dragon in one go, felt their hearts drop from their throats back into their chests.

“That scared me to death, thankfully he won.”

“My goodness, those fingers are comparable to steel, aren't they?”

“Keep digging! Shen Bei is definitely a miracle creator!”

…

Li Quanyou somewhat disagreed with the term “miracle creator.”

One must know that every time a dungeon appeared, regardless of its level, the country would suppress it with an overwhelming number of Martial Artists.

So far, no Martial Artist had ever completed the task of handling a dungeon alone.

Moreover, it was still unknown how many monsters would emerge from this dungeon.

No matter how good Shen Bei was at fighting, his stamina had its limits.

In Li Quanyou’s opinion, Shen Bei just needed to buy them time.

Once the survival passage was dug out, subsequent matters could be left to other Martial Artists to handle.

Thinking of this.

Li Quanyou swung his arms, holding his shovel, digging while spitting blood.

He had almost sprayed so much blood that the shovel handle was too sticky to hold… he urgently needed to save himself first.

…

Deep in the alleyway.

Shen Bei advanced, killing over twenty Vicious Beasts, before finally reaching the dungeon's exit.

It was a luminous, mirror-like plane, parallel to the ground.

Approximately three meters in diameter.

Shen Bei ate a piece of chocolate to replenish his stamina.

He originally wanted to take a Medicinal Pill, but damn it, the school didn't issue them.

Just then.

A ripple appeared on the luminous plane.

Shen Bei stared intently.

What emerged… was finally not a Vicious Beast.

But an altered human!
