Chapter 35: That man, he is a martial artist!

"What a powerhouse!"

"Absolutely insane!"

Wang Teng took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart, and couldn't help but marvel.

That blade light slicing through the sky had truly opened his eyes.

This was what a true martial artist looked like!

The person had struck a blow spanning hundreds of meters. Compared to that...

He was simply pathetic!

Wang Teng quickly adjusted his stunned expression.

"I had my whole pose ready, and then you pull this stunt!!"

How awkward!

Fortunately, everyone's attention had been drawn to the giant crow just now.

Moreover, in the midst of the panic, everyone was busy finding places to hide; no one had noticed him at all.

Wang Teng hurriedly put away his battle sword and gauntlets, and even stuffed his "pretending-to-be-a-loser" backpack into the car.

Then, acting as if nothing had happened, he looked toward the spot where the massive avian had crashed.

It wasn't far, only a few dozen meters away.

The giant bird lay dead in the middle of the intersection. Several cars parked by the roadside had been crushed, their alarms blaring incessantly.

Two or three streetlights had also been knocked down, with electrical sparks crackling through the air.

Passersby kept a safe distance, but they were all pulling out their phones, not forgetting to take photos to post on WeChat Moments and Douyin.

"That crow is terrifyingly huge."

"Was that a martial artist who stepped in just now?"

"Definitely. Only a martial artist could deal with a terrifying beast like that."

"That single strike across the sky was breathtaking; it stunned all of Donghai. If only I had that kind of strength..."

The crowd discussed animatedly, feeling both admiration and intense envy toward the martial artist who had unleashed that heaven-shaking blade light!

Martial artists!

Martial artists!!

This was what a martial artist truly was!

In this era of martial arts, who wouldn't want to become one?

But does thinking about it do any good?

There were still so many people blocked out by invisible walls, lacking even the qualification to step through the door.

Even high-level martial apprentices who had already reached the threshold were no exception.

For instance, the man standing beside Zhao Gangbao was exactly like that.

At this moment, Wang Teng stared at the corpse of the giant crow, suddenly dazed.

"Killing a Star Beast actually drops attribute bubbles?"

In front of the giant crow, several large, transparent bubbles were indeed floating.

Others couldn't see them, but to Wang Teng, they were exceptionally conspicuous.

He hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, feigning curiosity, and approached closely to inconspicuously touch several attribute bubbles.

Pick up!

【Speed * 130】

【Fire Element Primordial Force * 35】

【Blank Attribute * 60】

【Spirit Vision Eye * 1】

...

Holy crap!

Holy crap!

Holy crap!

Important things must be said three times!

These attributes were sky-high; Wang Teng suddenly felt a bit lightheaded!

Three "holy crap"s were not enough to express the surging emotions in his heart.

【Speed * 130】!

Obtaining 130 points of speed all at once was truly a massive amount.

As the 【Fire Element Primordial Force * 35】 merged into his body, the fire element force within him surged violently and incessantly.

The feeling was simply incredible!

He continued reading.

【Blank Attribute * 60】

He was somewhat surprised.

"There are actually blank attributes?"

"What are these for? Can I distribute them arbitrarily?"

Wang Teng decided to go back and study this properly. Since the last system refresh, many changes seemed to have appeared one after another.

Finally...

【Spirit Vision Eye * 1】

Wang Teng felt as if something miraculous had happened to his eyes; a cool current of air flowed within them.

If he were given a mirror right now, Wang Teng would see that his eyes appeared to be covered by a thin black film, presenting a deep, dark hue.

"How magical!"

"But what does this Spirit Vision Eye actually do?"

He looked around, but he didn't notice anything special about his vision.

"Forget it, now is not the time to dig deep."

"So, how do I put it away?"

Wang Teng made a mental movement, and the strange power in his eyes seemed to receive the command, sinking deep into his pupils to lie dormant.

...

A short while later, a group of people arrived.

The crowd was dispersed, and the scene was cordoned off.

"It's the City Protection Bureau!"

The newcomers were dressed in black uniforms featuring a special emblem—crossed swords and blades, set against the background of an ancient shield!

Someone immediately recognized their identity.

The City Protection Bureau—the name alone suggested it was a special department established specifically to protect human cities.

Aside from administrative staff, all internal personnel possessed formidable combat strength.

It was precisely because of this group of people that ordinary citizens could live peacefully within the cities.

Many times, they had already resolved numerous troubles without the public even knowing.

The City Protection Bureau staff loaded the giant crow onto a large truck and cleared the road.

They also questioned nearby passersby about the situation, seemingly trying to figure out why this giant crow had suddenly invaded Donghai City.

Unfortunately, everyone spoke all at once, and all they talked about was the moment that powerful, mysterious martial artist intervened, providing no substantive information whatsoever.

Ultimately, the City Protection Bureau staff left in frustration.

Standing in the crowd, Wang Teng watched their retreating backs, lost in thought.

"That giant crow really seemed to be coming for me."

"But why?"

"What grudge do I have with it that it would kill its way here from the wilderness thousands of miles away!"

Wang Teng couldn't figure it out either, so he could only let it go.

At this time, the beautiful young lady from the pet shop saw that the commotion outside had settled and jogged over to Wang Teng.

On the other side, seeing the City Protection Bureau depart, Zhao Gangbao spoke to the man beside him.

"Brother, the City Protection Bureau people are gone. Let's hurry up and catch that kid, otherwise he'll run away. I have to settle the score for that kick from last time today."

As he spoke, he remembered being kicked flying at the Rose Bar, and how he had been played and arrested the wrong person last time, only to be happy for nothing.

A surge of anger immediately rushed to his head.

Fuming with rage, Zhao Gangbao prepared to march toward Wang Teng.

"Slap!"

However, unexpectedly, the man beside Zhao Gangbao suddenly slapped him on the head.

"Catch, catch, catch! Catch my ass!" Zhao Ganghu was livid and began cursing loudly.

Zhao Gangbao was completely bewildered.

He looked at his brother blankly and stammered, "Brother, how can you curse Mom like that!"

"Damn it, I'm so angry at you I've lost my mind!"

Zhao Ganghu slapped Zhao Gangbao on the head again.

"Hitting me again? What on earth are you so angry about?" Zhao Gangbao asked, bewildered, shrinking his head and looking aggrieved.

"I'm angry because you're an idiot! You moron!"

"Do you even know who you've provoked?"

"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you! Is this how you treat your brother?"

Seeing that Zhao Gangbao didn't even know what he had done wrong, Zhao Ganghu was so angry he felt like vomiting blood...

They were born of the same mother, so why was his brother so stupid?

Thus, he raised his hand, intending to deliver another slap.

But Zhao Gangbao had been anticipating this move; he quickly dodged and shouted, "Brother, even if you're going to die, let me die knowing why! What exactly is going on? Just tell me clearly!"

"Fine, I'll tell you!"

Zhao Ganghu took a breath and said, "That person... he's a martial artist!"

"What!!?"

Zhao Gangbao was shocked, but he didn't believe it for a second.

"That's impossible! He looks so young, how could he be a martial artist!!"
