Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 484 Snap_1
It all depended on his willingness. It was just a matter of expending a negligible amount of essence energy. From this perspective, Wang Zhan didn't truly resemble a Martial Artist, because martial arts were merely his tool.
Of course, at this moment, one undeniable fact was that when confronted with such a situation, Wang Zhan had never been a stingy person.
Therefore, in just a moment, finally...
BOOM...
A loud noise once again erupted in mid-air, shaking the hearts of all the powerful beings present.
Even compared to Wang Zhan's previous demonstrations—where his martial arts, though ferocious, had devastatingly effective destructive power—what was distinctly different this time was that everything began with a small TAP.
It was like a dream being shattered, like a piece of glass unintentionally broken, emitting an ultimate, piercing note. It seemed as if, in an instant, a new world had opened, filled with shock and terror. Or like a single water droplet, a clear chime. Finally, its fragility and wounds were laid bare for all to see!
So, after this roar, all other sounds on the field seemed to condense at this critical moment into an extreme, pinnacle of silence. Everyone quietly awaited the potential changes that might occur next!
Finally, though it was but a breath's time, for these diverse beings who seemed to have invested their entire hearts and souls into it, their wait was over! The previously silent atmosphere, amidst this minor commotion, seemed to be completely unsealed, transforming once more into a dazzling, breathtaking new world!
One could see that behind the giant snake, on its tail—originally as sharp and elusive as a weapon—a small, fine line had quietly appeared at this moment, as if someone had carelessly added a doodle!
Then, in the blink of an eye, it began to gush, an endless PATTERING sound accompanying it.
Immediately after, piece by piece, brittle scales, no longer able to bear the tension of the flesh, quietly flaked off.
TAP… TAP… TAP…
The sound was faint, yet it echoed in all directions!
Immediately after, there was a GUSHING sound, like water!
The only difference from actual running water was that what fell from the sky, splashing everywhere, was the blood of a powerful Giant Beast from beyond the distant star space—a creature whose kind hailed from what the Human Race called the Star War Battlefield! The spectacle was even more shocking and chilling than any myth recorded by the Human Race in remote antiquity!
Then, a sharp pain finally surged impatiently in the giant snake's heart. Like thousands of ants gnawing at its core, it constantly devoured its mind and sanity, driving it directly into madness.
Its eyes turned bloodshot!
RUMBLE... RUMBLE...
Its tail, finally, under Wang Zhan's cold gaze, gained a moment's peace.
But for the giant snake, this moment of peace heralded something extremely ominous. The peace and tranquility it could supposedly enjoy at this moment were, in fact, accompanied by an intense pain and struggle it had never before experienced!
If it weren't a mere worm, the sounds it would be making might have been earth-shattering!
And so, accompanied by waves of RUMBLING, on the ground of the wilderness area, a powerful presence, like a prehistoric python in convulsions, began to thrash about, constantly beating the earth with force. It seemed intent on shattering the very earth, pounding it until deep trenches or great cracks appeared!
Immediately, clouds of dark-yellow dust billowed up, one after another, almost filling the sky, seemingly forming an isolated world in an instant.
And within this world, only Wang Zhan's gaze, never easily deceived, remained cold and indifferent, fixedly watching the scene unfold. He once again immediately put some distance between himself and the giant snake on the ground.
After all, only a fool would press an attack when the situation was unclear. Not to mention, Wang Zhan himself was still unsure of the extent of the damage he had inflicted on this beast.
Therefore, he felt something was amiss.
Of course, this wasn't to say Wang Zhan thought the giant snake had another trap; rather, he suspected it was hiding its true strength.
A king snake, with a physical body comparable to the royal level, could it really be this vulnerable?
One should know, the reason the Human Race often lost to beasts and took a passive beating was precisely because their comparatively weak physical bodies were far inferior to those of the beasts. Ironically, the physical body was also Wang Zhan's greatest weakness, the most significant shortfall and flaw in his overall strength.
Therefore, even though this creature seemed on the verge of death, given its formidable power, Wang Zhan would only wait, looking for an opportunity to deliver another fatal blow, rather than rushing to land the finishing strike and seeking quick success. Thus, as he watched the giant snake's body thrash about, the more it writhed, the deeper and colder his gaze became.
「Meanwhile」
The watching beasts had finally confirmed one fact.
"This guy… he's too powerful! He must possess the strength of the Martial Emperor level…"
One should know, although the world of Martial Artists was incredibly unpredictable and enigmatic, it was a well-known fact that only a Martial Emperor could truly contend with another Martial Emperor! Strength always met its equal!
In that case, if such a powerful beast—whose physical defense was at least equivalent to the Human Race's Martial Emperor Realm—was about to be defeated by Wang Zhan, wasn't that enough to prove his strength?
"For a human to dare trespass into Quan State territory at a time like this, he must have some skill. I'm afraid even if we all attacked together, we probably wouldn't be his match…"
Compared to the beasts the Old Man had encountered, these ones were vastly different from those merely bloodthirsty creatures. They possessed spirituality, wisdom, emotions, and even complex interests! In many aspects, they were not much different from the Human Race itself, aside from their ferocious appearances.
Therefore, they would naturally seek good fortune and avoid disaster! Hence, upon realizing Wang Zhan's true strength, these creatures were already planning a stealthy retreat.
To deal with Wang Zhan, a stronger and more powerful beast is needed. As for us, the strongest among us is, at best, like that other giant snake, destined only to writhe madly on the ground!
"So, while he hasn't noticed us, let's go! If we can successfully bring this news back, we might even glimpse the threshold of the royal level…"
Upon hearing this, a beast was immediately swayed. Exactly! Only a fool would want to confront Wang Zhan head-on—a guy whose true depths are unfathomable, yet whose attacks are utterly ruthless. Besides, we don't actually need to fight him directly!
One should know, although this Wang Zhan hadn't revealed his identity, his appearance and demeanor made it clear: this guy was definitely not yet twenty years old! In other words, even within the Beast Clan, he would be considered a top-tier genius, a demon-like existence. One can only imagine the level of attention and energy he commands in the human world! Perhaps those disgusting, treacherous, ugly humans might even start a new internal war because this youngster fell into our hands. The benefits to the Beast Clan would be countless. And they felt this was highly plausible!
After all, although their Beast Clan had already spent too much time contending with the Earth Federation, and though they were currently in a stalemate, their continuous, meticulous observation of the entire Human Race had given them a profound understanding of this ugly, strange, and thoroughly contradictory species!
Internal strife. That's an inherent flaw they can never escape!
Therefore, some of them had a thought and said, "In that case, let's leave quickly! If we two brothers can really seize this opportunity, perhaps we can return! Although the Earth Federation has plenty of food, without our own kind, we can't reproduce and continue our lineage. This is a nightmare for us…"
Hearing this, some of the other powerful beasts felt a sense of mutual understanding.
"Indeed, indeed! Take me, a Four-clawed Earth Dragon. On the Star War Battlefield, there were countless females with whom I could continue my lineage. But the earth dragons here in the Earth Federation are all just wretched Snot Worms! Forget about two-legged or three-legged ones; unless I don't mind interspecies 'friendships' and am willing to bear the consequences of racial mutation, my lineage might very well end here…"
Of course, such reasoning had little to do with why they were currently watching the battle. However, it undoubtedly provided them with an excellent excuse to console themselves whenever needed.
As for Wang Zhan, he quietly glanced at them. Noticing this change—seeing some of the exposed beasts about to retreat hastily—the corners of his mouth lifted into a slight smile.
Actually, due to the flourishing of wisdom in the Human Race, a future of infinite possibilities has emerged, along with the inevitable dregs hidden within that wisdom. These things are unavoidable because it's impossible to truly know what's in another's heart. But isn't the Beast Clan just the same! At least, in my view at this moment, there's no difference between the two at all.
And this realization also brought a flash of insight to Wang Zhan, who had been warily watching for any tricks from the giant snake and dared not rashly enter the dust cloud.
It seems this isn't an inherent flaw of the Human Race itself. Rather, it's that all intelligent species, with the passage of time, naturally develop certain irreversible or unchangeable divisions and pathologies!!
