In the distance, Qin Liuyuan held the war bow, his face full of shock.

In fact, he barely saw the battle just now. In the blink of an eye, the fight was already over.

Is this what a Martial Artist is?

So incredibly powerful!

He had thought that he wasn't far from being a Martial Artist himself.

Previously, having taken Divine Blood twice, his arm strength had reached 880 kilograms, already at the peak of a large Martial Artist, but at this moment, he realized that facing a true Martial Artist was as if a child was up against an adult—completely different levels!

...

Chen Shouyi stood atop the fierce beast, panting heavily. His clothing and protective suit were in tatters, steam rising from his hair in the scorching noon heat. One could imagine how high his body temperature rose during the intense exertion just now.

"Clatter"

A soldier let his rifle fall out of his hand and hurriedly bent over with a flushed face to pick it up.

This abrupt sound also startled Chen Shouyi awake.

He reached out, drew his sword, and leaped down from the beast's head.

It was as if time began to flow again; everyone snapped back to reality. The atmosphere became lively, with cheers echoing from afar, as people spoke loudly, casting looks of awe in their direction from time to time.

But Chen Shouyi was not overly excited; instead, he was rather silent.

In charge of this machine gun were ten soldiers, including two dead, one of whom was the gunner. Three others were seriously injured, hit by flying machine gun parts. The remaining ones had bleeding ears, obviously deafened by the sonic roar of the fierce beast earlier.

Though he killed this terrifying beast, it would not have been so easy without these soldiers as bait and cover.

One mistake, and he might even have capsized.

"Good day, sir!" When they saw Chen Shouyi approaching, a few soldiers immediately saluted with respect.

Chen Shouyi opened his mouth, wanting to explain that he wasn't part of the army, but seeing their bleeding ears and suppressed expressions, he closed his mouth and nodded slightly.

Whatever he said, they wouldn't hear it anyway.

Medics quickly ran over, carefully lifting all the wounded and fallen soldiers onto stretchers.

...

The war wasn't over; this fierce beast was merely an episode.

Soon, the sound of gunfire started again.

"General Manager Chen, I found you a set of clothes and a protective suit. See if they fit?" Bai Xiaoling ran over, panting, and said, "Also, here's a specialized insecticide I found for you. You'd better spray some, but be careful as it is toxic."

Chen Shouyi accepted gracefully. Although he was confident that his body, which even bullets couldn't penetrate, wouldn't get infected by parasites, his skin might carry them. Who knew if the fierce beast had parasites on it!

He accepted the insecticide and clothes, glanced at Bai Xiaoling, and seeing she didn't avoid his gaze at all, he didn't feel embarrassed. He turned around, tore off his broken protective suit along with his T-shirt and pants, and sprayed himself a few times.

The clothes were camouflage uniforms used by soldiers for summer training, still unopened.

Chen Shouyi tore them open and quickly changed into them.

With the corner of her eye, Bai Xiaoling secretly glanced at Chen Shouyi's back muscles, which were like tightly wound steel wires, and felt the weather seemed even hotter.

...

"General Manager Chen, would you like a cigarette?" Xue Youcheng's face broke into a chrysanthemum-like smile, bowing slightly as he respectfully offered a cigarette.

The voice seemed to come from afar. Chen Shouyi snapped back to reality, shook his head, and said, "No, thank you, I don't smoke!"

For some reason, after killing the fierce beast, he felt something was off. His body was somewhat hot, and even his mind seemed a bit dazed:

"Am I getting a heatstroke?" he thought to himself.

Chen Shouyi opened his mask, grabbed a bottle of iced mineral water, unscrewed it, and gulped down half of it in one go.

The icy water slid down his throat.

His spirit lifted, and he felt much better instantly.

However, Chen Shouyi soon realized this was temporary.

As time went on, he felt increasingly hot, with a tendency to intensify, and it seemed that even the Knowledge began to stir.

What's going on?

He immediately opened the attribute panel, and just with a glance, he was stunned.

He was surprised to find that at the end of the talent abilities sub-option on the attribute panel, there seemed to be a line of fuzzy text looming in and out of sight.

"Is a new talent ability going to appear?" A hint of excitement flashed in his heart,

"Could it be related to the fierce beast I just killed?" Chen Shouyi pondered;

"Apart from this reason, there seems to be no other reason."

"Splash!"

An ugly half-meter-long reptile emerged from the black water.

Chen Shouyi turned off the attribute panel, took a glance, and said to Xue Youcheng and Lin Jingyi beside him: "Keep an eye out, I'm going to sit down for a bit."

"General Manager Chen, leave this kind of trivial matter to us. Rest assured and take a break," Xue Youcheng quickly threw away the cigarette butt and said.

Lin Jingyi, being a woman, was a bit more considerate: "General Manager Chen, are you okay, or should I notify the medics to come?"

"No need, I didn't sleep well last night, a bit drowsy. Sitting for a moment will do," Chen Shouyi waved his hand.

Afterward, he found a shady spot to sit down.

Pretending to rest his eyes, he quickly entered the Book of Knowledge Space with his mind.

Looking at the World Tree in front, shrouded in a thin layer of brilliance, and the numerous intricate flashing shadows, he couldn't help but feel enlightened.

The sight before him was deeply imprinted in his memory.

It was just like the scene after annihilating the Tree God last time.

Unexpectedly, this fierce beast turned out to be a Divine Creature.

However, compared to the Tree God, its Power of Faith was undoubtedly far inferior.

It appeared incredibly thin, barely perceptible.

From the images flashing through the Power of Faith's shadow, Chen Shouyi discovered that this creature had no fixed faith and didn't even have faith in the conventional sense. It was merely as a top predator, naturally feared or revered by other beasts.

Through these images.

Chen Shouyi could see various strange swamp creatures either trembling on the ground or desperately fleeing.

He glanced over and no longer paid attention, then focused on a radiant dot swirling within the Power of Faith, darting left and right trying to escape.

This is Divinity!

His breathing became rapid.

...

The weak Power of Faith was soon absorbed and stripped by the World Tree, and a few minutes later, this Divinity was gradually devoured as well.

The World Tree emitted an invisible ripple; its leaves gently rustled, producing a crisp sound. At the same time, the World Tree began to swiftly grow, increasing from nearly three meters tall to three and a half meters.

The space also expanded by a circle, and it seemed to have become more stable.

However, these were minor details to Chen Shouyi, barely worth his attention.

Among the leaves, he searched for quite a while:

"Huh, strange! Why isn't there a Rule Fruit this time!"

After absorbing the Tree God's Divinity last time, the World Tree bore a fruit of the World of Wind, which after absorption, turned him into a Divine Creature. However, this time there was nothing.
