121: Chapter 121 Copper Head and Iron Bones Kelone

Chen Mo was teleported back into the Trial Tower.

The endless star gates of the Tier 4 region revolved slowly around him.

His perception still lingered with the aftertaste of that punch just now.

The moment Laru Las's head exploded, the power of the Residual Breath System dissipated into ice-blue mist within the virtual space, before being cleared by the System.

He stood in place, his brows slightly furrowed, as a question emerged in his mind.

The pioneer of the Residual Breath System, Laru Las.

"Why was he so weak?"

"With that level of strength, why was he able to enter the Trial Tower?"

The threshold for the Trial Tower is being in the top ten of the combat power rankings.

It's not something just any race or any pioneer of a System can enter.

The pioneer of the Residual Breath System must be in the top ten of his region.

But judging by his performance just now, this Laru Las's control over power was extremely crude, his attack methods were singular, his System amplification was almost non-existent, and his defense was weak.

Could it be that in his region, this level of strength is enough to rank in the top ten?

Chen Mo couldn't figure it out for a moment.

He didn't dwell on this question for too long.

He cast his gaze back toward the Trial Tower.

After he completed his first challenge, the Trial Tower had already finished assessing his combat power tier, and his ranking appeared within the tower.

9,678,430th place.

The total number of Systems within the entire Tier 4 region exceeded one billion.

This was a number that left one silent.

One billion independent Systems recognized by the Spirit Energy Universe and recorded into the Trial Tower were the total accumulation of countless regions over long years, passed down from generation to generation.

And Chen Mo had defeated one of them, jumping from the end of the billion to near ten million.

He had only used his Physical Body strength and Inner World amplification, without utilizing the core might of the Hengyuan Force.

It seems Geniuses are a minority after all.

Chen Mo thought to himself.

He hoped the people ahead could give him some pressure.

He didn't continue to reflect.

He directly chose the highest rank currently selectable.

9,000,000th place.

Boiling Blood System, Kaelo En, currently Tier 5.

This time, he was teleported onto a vast plain continent.

Beneath his feet was cracked, hard soil, with a few clumps of withered yellow grass pushing out from the fissures, and the distant horizon was distorted by heat waves into a blurred arc.

There were no clouds in the sky; the sunlight smashed straight down, steaming a layer of slightly shimmering heat haze from the ground.

Chen Mo's perception instantly enveloped the entire scene.

Ahead, his opponent was already there.

A giant beast about seventy-five meters tall stood in the withered grass.

Its shape was close to a wolf, but the arch of its raised back was closer to the attack posture of some kind of ape.

Its entire body was covered in needle-like bony protrusions, and its skin was a dark blood-red color, as if scorched by high heat, looking as though blood had seeped out beyond the epidermis.

Boiling Blood System—this name was intuitively explained the moment he saw the opponent.

Kaelo En unleashed his full power directly.

A roar was squeezed from the depths of its throat; the sound was not like a wolf's howl, but more like the shriek of some high-pressure steam being suppressed to the limit as it erupted.

The surrounding air suddenly exploded with a thick, nearly liquid blood mist.

Enveloping his massive body in the blood-red mist.

The surrounding air was instantly heated to over a hundred degrees, completely boiling.

The withered grass several kilometers away carbonized directly, and fine white steam trails burst from the sandstone surface.

Kaelo En's body expanded rapidly within the blood mist.

Seventy-five meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters.

Within a few breaths, his seventy-five-meter stature surged to over three hundred meters.

The giant beast, over three hundred meters tall, stood on the plain, its body's needle-like protrusions seeping out scorching steam, and with every breath, it sprayed white columns of high-temperature gas from its nostrils and mouth.

The next second, the ground exploded.

Kaelo En disappeared from where he stood.

That giant body of over three hundred meters kicked and shattered the earth beneath its feet with an explosive force dozens of times the speed of sound.

The shockwave spread outward from the takeoff point, tearing countless fissures in the ground for several kilometers around.

In just a few steps, he closed in on Chen Mo, raising his right claw above his head, and five claw blades drew five white steam trails in the air.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

The sound of breaking the air lagged by half a beat before catching up to the speed of this strike, the roar exploding on the ground.

Chen Mo did not take it head-on.

His Force Field completed a displacement instantly.

His body shifted horizontally a certain distance.

That claw blade smashed into the position where he had just been standing, and the ground was directly torn into several bottomless fissures.

He became a little interested.

Chen Mo quickly estimated the power of this claw in his mind.

Under the amplification of Boiling Blood, Kaelo En's physical strength was about one million tons, an increase of twenty times.

The amplification ability of the Boiling Blood System is indeed not weak; being able to push power to this level in a short time already belongs to the upper-middle level among Tier 4s.

But the weaknesses are equally obvious.

The target is too large, and flexibility is insufficient.

The body size, expanded to over three hundred meters, gives Kaelo En an extremely wide attack range, but the radius for turning and changing direction also increases accordingly.

Every step requires kicking and cracking a piece of earth to obtain enough reaction force.

And on this battlefield covered by his perception, any Prediction can be completed the moment he jumps.

These thoughts all happened in a flash.

Kaelo En's attack had already come again.

He changed his strategy, no longer relying solely on claw strikes, but fully releasing the ability of Boiling Blood.

The temperature of the air was rising sharply to thousands of degrees Celsius.

Everything in his field of vision was distorted and deformed by heat waves, and white high-temperature steam gushed out from every pore on Kaelo En's body, forming a thick layer of fog on the battlefield.

The world was obscured by white gas, and visibility dropped to near zero.

And Kaelo En was like a hunter in the dark, moving silently around Chen Mo in the fog, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

But it did not know that Chen Mo's perception had long since enveloped the entire space.

While the white gas obscured all vision, Chen Mo had already locked onto him.

Kaelo En pounced from the side.

The claw blade broke through the white gas, cutting into Chen Mo's position with dark red energy at thousands of degrees of heat.

Chen Mo's figure was faster than him.

He cut in during the gap when Kaelo En's claw blade had been swung out and his old strength was exhausted while new strength had not yet arisen, appearing directly in front of that huge wolf head.

The power of his whole body was conducted from his soles to his waist and abdomen, then to his right arm, condensed, and he slammed a punch into the center of Kaelo En's head.

"Clang—"

A loud sound like metal clashing exploded in the high-temperature heat waves.

Chen Mo's fist smashed into the center of Kaelo En's head, and the recoil was extremely intense.

It was like smashing into some kind of ultra-high-hardness alloy.

Under that layer of dark red skin, the density of the bones far exceeded normal biological structures, with a hardness sufficient to withstand the direct impact of millions of tons of force head-on.

Copper Head, Iron Bones.

Chen Mo recalled the saying about wolves: "Copper Head, Iron Bones, Tofu Waist."

Looking at Kaelo En's waist again, it was not a Tofu Waist.

On both sides of that thick waist grew two rows of thick bone spurs, each bone spur extending backward in a crescent shape, the texture as dense as the skull, completely covering the weak areas on the sides of the waist.

The Boiling Blood System had specifically strengthened its weaknesses.

Chen Mo no longer had the heart to continue trying.

Hengyuan Force condensed.

A pale golden beam of energy shot out from his fingertips.

Piercing forward with extremely high density.

Kaelo En had no time to react, nor could it react.

"Swish—"

An extremely sharp sound of breaking the air.

Kaelo En's head was directly pierced, and it shot out from the back of the skull.

Its massive body, expanded to three hundred meters, froze in the air for a moment, then slowly collapsed forward.

Boom—! The huge body of over three hundred meters crashed to the ground, shaking the earth and mountains.

Virtual space judgment result.

Match ended.

[Source Power System, Chen Mo, Victory.]

Chen Mo returned to the Trial Tower.

The ranking on the leaderboard jumped.

32,169th.

Rising directly from over nine million to over thirty thousand.

It must be that the Trial Tower sensed the power of the Hengyuan Force in that instant just now.

Seeing this change in ranking, Chen Mo felt a slight sense of anticipation rise in his heart.

The people behind should be able to bring some challenges.
