“Since Steel Muscles is a defensive ability, Demon Muscles cannot also be defensive. It’s highly likely to be the corresponding offensive ability. Only powerful offensive ability can hunt stronger monsters, leading to faster advancement and stronger secondary abilities…”

Su Li mused. Compared to defense, he preferred offense. He finally made up his mind about the Level 5 Spiritual Source Technique and chose “Demon Muscles.”

Immediately, a message appeared in his mind.

“Comprehending Spiritual Source Technique, ‘Demon Muscles’ mastery begins…”

This was followed by a flood of information about “Demon Muscles,” as if forcibly inserted into his mind. His body began to integrate the memory and ability of “Demon Muscles.”

A new energy boiled within him. The Spiritual Source Technique “Demon Muscles” was finally fully comprehended and mastered.

Just as he had guessed, “Steel Muscles” was a defense-oriented Spiritual Source Technique, while “Demon Muscles” was primarily an offensive one.

Every muscle in his body felt infused with a special energy. Su Li’s running speed accelerated, and the power of his machete swings increased.

Ding Longyun, Gong Xiao, and Xu Haishui stopped, staring intently at Su Li. Their faces showed an indescribable look of shock.

To them, Su Li now looked like a wisp of smoke, darting across the roof. Wherever he went, heads rolled, and rows of Advanced Corpse Beasts lost their heads and collapsed.

In the space of just one or two breaths, there were no Corpse Beasts left standing on the roof; every one of them was now a corpse lying on the ground.

“What… what kind of ability is that…” Ding Longyun gasped.

Gong Xiao was slightly more composed. Her eyes shone as she said, “Su Li must have broken through. He’s reached Level 5.”

Xu Haishui, who had been silent, finally spoke. “That must be the Spiritual Source Technique that only Level 5 Wielders can master. It’s too powerful…” His eyes were full of longing.

Su Li finally stopped. When Ding Longyun and the others saw his back, he was standing right at the edge of the roof, looking down, as if something below had caught his attention.

“Su Li!” Ding Longyun shouted, rushing over.

“What was that ability you used just now? It’s terrifying! We couldn’t even see you clearly.”

Su Li heard Ding Longyun’s question and said softly, “It’s the Spiritual Source Technique I comprehended. You’ll be able to comprehend one too when you reach Level 5.”

In the water below the building, many corpses were floating and sinking. Dozens of bodies had been thrown down, but strangely, not a single monster appeared to feed on them. This abnormality was highly unusual.

Su Li was focused on this anomaly, his expression grim.

Gong Xiao and Xu Haishui also walked over.

“Something is wrong. Throwing down this many corpses…” Ding Longyun was interrupted mid-sentence by a sudden, massive “BOOM!” from below.

It sounded as if a naval mine had exploded in the water. A huge wave surged, violently pushing the floating corpses outward. A colossal monster burst out of the deep water, its emergence terrifying in its momentum.

The monster’s leaping power was astonishing. It shot up from the water, soaring seven or eight meters into the air, and actually leaped directly onto the roof, carrying a massive spray of water, descending upon Su Li and the others at the roof’s edge.

The power was too great. No one dared to block it. They scattered, leaping away.

With a “bang,” the gigantic monster crashed heavily onto the roof, landing on several Corpse Beast bodies and instantly crushing them into pulp, splattering blood.

Everyone gasped at the sight. Ding Longyun, Gong Xiao, and Xu Haishui’s faces paled. Only Su Li remained calm. Instead of retreating, he moved toward the monster’s front, drawing its attention.

It was an astonishingly large giant fish, lying on the roof like a small boat. It was over six meters long, covered in dark yellow scales that shimmered faintly. It had four scaly legs emerging from its underside, and each foot had five claws gripping the ground, creating faint cracks. A single horn grew from its head, over a meter long, also dark yellow, and subtly glowing.

The moment this singular horned fish appeared, the other monsters around the building vanished. They seemed terrified of its presence, becoming completely silent. The four scaly limbs pushed off, and its colossal body vaulted into the air, charging toward Su Li.

The monster suddenly opened its mouth and emitted a majestic, resounding call—a roar that sounded like the legendary dragon’s roar.

Su Li and the others looked astonished, realizing this single-horned monster was no ordinary being.

The “Peering Rune” appeared on Su Li’s brow. He locked onto the massive fish before him to investigate its origin.

“Name: Dragon Rhino Fish (Long Xi Yu). Level: 6. Rare-class Spiritual Source Beast. This beast is extremely rare. Possesses immense strength. Its scales are impenetrable. The single horn on its head is considered a treasure, being incredibly sharp and capable of slicing through metal and bone like mud. Its only weakness is its abdomen, which is not protected by scales. Other data cannot be peered into.”

“A Dragon Rhino Fish, Rare-class?” Su Li stared at the massive fish, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

He knew that Spiritual Source Beasts were categorized: the weakest were Common, followed by Elite, then Leader, and the Mysterious-class like the Corpse Mother. That made four types.

Now, he had encountered a fifth type: Rare-class.

The Dragon Rhino Fish before him was a Rare-class Spiritual Source Beast.

The Dragon Rhino Fish let out another dragon-like roar. All the monsters around the building vanished, seemingly fearing its presence, becoming completely silent. Its four scaly limbs pushed off, and its massive body launched into the air again, charging toward the oncoming Su Li.

Although Su Li had advanced to Level 5 and possessed over 2,000 jin of immense power, he dared not block the charge with his body.

His feet moved in an alternating pattern. He instantly darted sideways five meters. The Dragon Rhino Fish missed its target and slammed into the wall of the roof exit behind him.

The horn growing from its forehead sliced into the concrete wall as easily as cutting tofu.

Su Li watched, taking a deep breath. The horn was indeed a treasure, just as the data had indicated. It could slice through gold and cut jade, and if it touched him, no matter how tough his muscles were, it would be severed in an instant.

Despite its colossal size, the Dragon Rhino Fish was fast and agile. After missing its charge, it swung its body, and the horn on its head sliced horizontally across the wall. This time, it thrust a foreclaw out, aiming to grab Su Li.

Ding Longyun, Gong Xiao, and Xu Haishui’s faces turned white, seeing the horn slice effortlessly into the concrete wall. They dared not approach and retreated farther away.
