Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Desire for Destruction

After condemning Freya Louise’s weapon, everyone exchanged their experiences in being attacked and fighting today.

Although the temporary team was disbanded just as it started, sharing information on both sides still had some usefulness.

For example, the cultists who attacked Crystal Leinster’s group were different from those they encountered, as their skin would turn black and their muscles would bulge in combat, having strong strength and defense.

It seemed that the sect followers were not from the same faction or church as the Evil God Sect Cultists here.

By the time they had finished chatting, it was already 10 PM. While Justin Welan was still playing on his mobile phone, Jack Clark put down his phone, staring at the ceiling in deep thought.

After seeing Freya Louise’s sniper ‘cannon,’ he wondered whether he should prioritize increasing his defense when he had more attribute points later on.

Jack Clark hadn’t thought about this before he encountered the cultists, but today’s sudden battle made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

For advanced cultivators with True Power Protection, the threat of ordinary firearms could be ignored, but that’s not the case for low-level cultivators like them.

For example, this afternoon, without the battle armor prepared by the school in advance, no one would dare to charge against the sweep of rifles, submachine guns, and even heavy machine guns.

Although they had already broken through to the Second Layer Heaven, even the weakest of them had a physique seven times stronger than an ordinary person, they were still made of flesh and blood, unable to withstand bullets capable of penetrating a few millimeters of iron.

However, battle armor could only defend against ordinary bullets, not against special weapons, such as the enhanced ‘Desert Eagle’ of that cultist and Freya Louise’s sniper cannon.

Especially for snipers like Freya Louise hiding in the dark, the threat to freshmen like Jack Clark from the Second Layer Heaven was even more significant.

After all, when facing a cultist attack, one could choose to resist head-on, fight or retreat, but if targeted from a hidden position, death or heavy injury would follow.

“Let’s see the effects of strengthening a few points at that time.” Jack Clark made up his mind, closed his eyes, and was immersed in observing the Heavy Armored Beast.

Thousands of kilometers away, by the broad estuary of a river, a hideous black Unique Beast emerged from its lair and disappeared into the water, stirring up mud and sand.

As the Heavy Armored Beast grew in size, its defense and strength also skyrocketed under the influence of its talent, making this once somewhat dangerous estuary its hunting ground.

Bang!

Underwater, the splash exploded as the Heavy Armored Beast slapped out a claw, smashing half of the head of a regular Mutated Fish more than 3 meters long.

Crack!

The Heavy Armored Beast bit out a blood hole the size of a washbasin and chewed with its upper and lower jaws. The thick blood mixed with fish meat residues spilled from its teeth, looking fierce and terrifying.

The 3-meter-long Mutated Fish weighed about two hundred kilograms, which the Heavy Armored Beast devoured in less than ten minutes.

Jack Clark could keenly feel that as the energy was transformed, the Heavy Armored Beast’s cells throughout its body were constantly dividing and compressing, and its body expanded visibly, defying biological growth rules.

The outer armor became thicker and harder.

Still not enough.

Feeling the sense of emptiness within, Jack Clark… The Heavy Armored Beast’s tail slightly swayed, continuing to patrol the deep water in search of its next prey.

Freshwater and seawater mixed here in the wide, deep river that bred numerous ferocious freshwater fish and some Mutated Sea Fish that could adapt to freshwater occasionally appeared.

As the Heavy Armored Beast swam a few kilometers away, a shadow more than five meters long loomed nearby, its massive body exuding a sense of oppression.

This Mutated Fish had thick scales all over its body, resembling a grouper but more massive. The fanged teeth in its slightly open mouth were intimidating.

As soon as this fish appeared, the small fishes around it scattered.

However, the Heavy Armored Beast’s eyes brightened.

Looking at the Heavy Armored Beast lunging like a crocodile, the Mutated Grouper remained calm. When the Heavy Armored Beast was about two meters away from it, its mouth suddenly swelled several times larger.

Boom!

A terrifying suction force came from the Mutated Grouper’s mouth, and in an instant, the water within a few meters’ range in front of it collapsed into a vortex, swallowing the Heavy Armored Beast along.

This was the grouper’s hunting skill: suddenly opening its mouth wide when approaching its prey, using the water discharged from its gills to create potent devouring power to swallow its prey.Now that it had mutated, its devouring power had become even more formidable, almost transforming into a natural talent that allowed it to swallow everything within several meters.

Once prey was swallowed, the inner teeth inside it would tear and eat the prey, like…

Boom!

The mutated grouper, which had swallowed more than half of the Heavy Armored Beast’s body, struggled wildly, stirring the surrounding water chaotically.

At the same time, scarlet blood gushed out from its gill area, turning the surrounding water red in the blink of an eye and emitting a strong smell of blood.

Thud! The mutated grouper’s head was torn in half, and the blood-soaked Heavy Armored Beast slowly crawled out, just like when it had killed the large catfish before.

Thanks to its terrifying defense, the Heavy Armored Beast’s favorite thing was when these mutated fish swallowed it, allowing it to kill them without much effort.

Clutching the massive mutated grouper corpse, the Heavy Armored Beast began to eat.

Today was another blissful day, a chance to eat its fill.

Meanwhile, many small fish were attracted by the scent of blood and swarmed towards the Heavy Armored Beast.

Whenever the Heavy Armored Beast chewed and bit, they scrambled for the scraps of flesh and blood that overflowed from its mouth, and they were swallowed by the Heavy Armored Beast while feasting.

The next morning, more than twenty freshmen in black-red armor gathered outside the hotel, each carrying their heavy weapons.

Lori Parma and the other three teachers stood at the front, with seven second lieutenants in military uniforms behind them.

Looking at the refreshed students who had rested for a night, Lori Parma said solemnly, “From today on, you will be divided into seven groups, with four people in each group.”

“Your mission is to cooperate with the patrol teams and search according to the requirements of the area, finding the cultists hidden in the crowd.”

“Remember, every single one of these cultists has blood on their hands and is beyond redemption. Kill them mercilessly once you find them.”

“As for the rebels, they can be captured alive after neutralizing the threat, provided they surrender and stop resisting.”

“This is a special bone from the Blood God Sect, whose aura can help you quickly identify hidden Blood God Cultists in the crowd.”

There was a table in front of everyone, on which was a red bone a meter long, half a meter wide, and seemingly part of a spine from some giant creature.

“Is this blood bone?”

Curious, Justin Welan walked over, only to be assailed by a thick, blood-curdling evil scent, which forced him to retreat quickly.

Lori Parma continued, “In addition, each team will have an advanced cultivator secretly following you, including me and the three teachers. You don’t have to worry about encountering advanced cultivators.”

“But our target is the fanatics who may appear. We won’t care about ordinary cultists; you and the soldiers in your team will deal with them.”

“If you encounter a Fourth Layer Heaven fanatic attacking, everyone can choose to retreat immediately. Don’t make futile resistance; the gap between the Second Layer Heaven and them is too great.”

“Also, I have put some high-level resources with unlocked permissions in the Trial Group. There are introductions for each resource, and you can consider exchanging them later.”

“Besides, if you have any questions about cultivation during your rest time, you can ask me or Teacher Lyons in the group chat…”

Lori Parma then reminded everyone of several other details, after which a staff member distributed a portable micro-camera and wireless earpiece to each person.

Afterward, the teams were formed. Jack Clark and Justin Welan, along with two other male students, formed a temporary team.

One of them was Zac Lyons, who had ranked 50th in the Martial Arts Arena, and the other was called White Veil. The four followed Second Lieutenant Carl Raven and left.

It was finally time for a massacre. Jack’s eyes slightly reddened.

He didn’t know if it was because half of his soul was human and the other half was a mutated beast, but as he continued to hunt and devour, his desire for destruction and rampage grew stronger within him.

This was also the reason he had chosen to participate in the trial.

Too much restraint could accumulate stress and stir up unbearable emotions.

If not vented, something might go wrong one day, like….
