39: The battle begins, crushing the enemy with overwhelming force

"This, this..."

Zhao Tian's gaze flitted between the groaning Martial Masters on the ground and Su Lei.

He was so shocked he couldn't speak.

He knew Su Lei's strength was immense, but he hadn't expected him to be this powerful!

There was no dodging, no parrying.

The ten Martial Masters present used every technique they had, but their storm-like offensive couldn't even break Su Lei's defense!

Yet, he took care of one with a casual strike.

It was simply overwhelming, a crushing victory with no suspense!

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

With a few grating thuds,

the last Martial Master flew five meters away like a ragdoll, hitting the training ground's wire fence and slowly sliding down.

Su Lei lightly brushed off non-existent dust from his body and strode towards the exit.

"Tomorrow at six."

"I want to see the helicopter fully fueled."

Watching the receding figure, the commander swallowed hard.

...

As the eastern sky just began to lighten, ten military helicopters were neatly lined up on the barracks' helipad.

Besides the ten Martial Masters, including the bearded man, there were also accompanying personnel responsible for recording, surveying, and medical services.

Watching Su Lei slowly approach from a distance, the Martial Masters involuntarily straightened their backs and saluted forcefully.

Su Lei nodded slightly and boarded a heavy transport helicopter.

"Let's go."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

The helicopters ascended one by one, heading towards Area F.

Ten minutes later, the fleet slowly landed in a clearing in the forest, the strong winds from the propellers bending the surrounding wild grass.

The bearded man strode to Su Lei's side and asked in a deep voice, "What's the plan? Are we acting together?"

"Too slow."

Su Lei shook his head, his gaze sweeping across the dense forest around them.

"Set this as a temporary base and conduct a carpet search outwards."

The bearded man frowned.

Besides Su Lei and Zhao Tian, there were only ten Martial Masters present.

Even dealing with a Vicious Beast required extreme caution, otherwise it would result in casualties.

Splitting up... wasn't that just asking for death?

But the scenes from the training ground yesterday replayed in his mind, and the words of protest died on his lips.

Su Lei glanced at him, seemingly discerning his worry.

"Divide into five teams, each carrying a life detector and searching from high altitude in a helicopter. No need to engage in combat."

"Just reconnaissance?" the bearded man murmured, then couldn't help but ask, "But this way, we can't determine..."

Su Lei interrupted, "If life signs of a Tier 4 Mutant Beast or higher appear, report directly to me. I'll handle it."

"After I've dealt with them, the remaining low-level Mutant Beasts are yours to handle."

"One person to deal with all the Vicious Beasts here..."

Everyone around looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, the bearded man slowly nodded and divided the team into five groups.

Immediately after, five helicopters took off in sequence, flying in various directions.

The rest of the staff cleared a large area nearby, setting up a temporary command post and several tents.

...

A few minutes later, the bearded man's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Strong life signal detected at coordinates 41.23, suspected Tier 1 Vicious Beast."

Su Lei boarded the helicopter and arrived at the scene two minutes later.

Looking down.

In the dense canopy, a massive dark shadow was slowly moving, the trees groaning under its weight as it passed.

The bearded man's voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

"Be careful, it's a Tier 1 Vicious Beast, the Rock-Armored Grizzly."

"It appeared in Area B back then, and three..." he said.

The next moment, his words abruptly stopped.

The cabin door of Su Lei's helicopter suddenly opened, and a dark figure leaped out.

Boom!

The impact wave from the fifty-meter fall shattered the tree canopy within a ten-meter radius.

Su Lei also got a clear look at the monster in front of him.

The Rock-Armored Grizzly was nearly five meters tall, its entire body covered in hardened, granite-like skin.

As Su Lei observed his opponent, the Rock-Armored Grizzly also noticed him, the uninvited guest.

It let out an earth-shattering roar to the sky.

The next moment,

the giant bear's thick hind legs suddenly pushed off, and its massive body erupted with astonishing speed, charging towards Su Lei like a battle tank.

In just a few seconds, it was upon him, its massive, rock-armored paw raised high, smashing down fiercely!

Looking at the bear paw so close, Su Lei remained motionless, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Ever since he swallowed the royal blood grass fruit, his body had been undergoing wondrous changes every moment.

Muscle fibers were constantly reorganizing and strengthening at a microscopic level, and bone density had reached an almost inhuman level.

During yesterday's sparring with the Martial Masters, he hadn't even used half of his strength.

That feeling of suppression was like a fierce tiger confined in a cage, and now...

"Finally, I can unleash it to my heart's content."

Su Lei whispered, a glint flashing in his eyes.

When the bear paw was less than half a meter from his head, his right fist suddenly became a blur.

A series of piercing sonic booms erupted in the air!

The moment his fist connected with the bear paw, a visible shockwave spread outwards!

"Boom—!"

With a tremendous roar, the bear paw instantly exploded.

The giant bear let out a painful wail, instinctively trying to retreat.

Su Lei's knees bent slightly, and he shot into the sky like a cannonball!

When he reached the same height as the bear's head, he swung his right fist again.

This punch was simple and unadorned, yet it unleashed four muffled thuds in quick succession the moment it connected with the bear's head.

The rock armor covering its head instantly developed spiderweb-like cracks.

When the full force of the punch erupted, the massive bear head shattered into pieces as if struck by a heavy hammer.

The giant bear's massive body stiffened for a moment, then crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Su Lei clapped his hands and pulled out a walkie-talkie from his waist pouch.

"Come down and clear the battlefield."

Listening to the calm voice from the walkie-talkie,

everyone in the helicopter had not yet recovered from their shock.

The bearded man looked down at the life detector in his hand.

The violently fluctuating life signal on the screen had now become a straight line.

"Less than ten seconds?"

"This... it's already dealt with?"

Two helicopters slowly descended.

Seeing the mountain-like bear corpse before them, all the accompanying personnel fell into an eerie silence.

The bearded man was speechless, and his gaze towards Su Lei couldn't help but carry a hint of awe.

A few minutes later, the massive bear corpse was securely bound with steel cables, connected to a heavy transport helicopter, and transported to the temporary camp.

...

As the sun slowly rose,

helicopters constantly flew back and forth over the forest.

Seven Mutant Beast corpses were piled up in the temporary makeshift camp.

Tier 2 Vicious Beast, Storm Demon Wolf.

Tier 1 Vicious Beast, Rock-Armored Grizzly.

Tier 1 Vicious Beast, Red-Tusked Boar.

Tier 4 Mutant Beast, Silver-Ringed Python.

...

Su Lei sat on a bench, eating a simple lunch.

A Martial Master jogged over and saluted respectfully.

"Report!"

"All high-energy life reactions of Tier 4 Mutant Beasts and Vicious Beasts have disappeared!"

Su Lei nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie beside him, and switched to the general channel.

"Enter the next phase."

"Sweep out all Mutant Beasts!"
