The immensely powerful Dragon Rhino Fish was soon covered in blood. Large numbers of its scales were stripped away, and its body became a bloody, mangled mess.

Faced with Su Li’s frenzy, it had no ability to fight back.

In this crazed state of power output, Su Li’s stamina was depleting at an alarming rate. The Super Heart erupted its special effect, continuously pumping blood and oxygen throughout his body, sustaining his power burst.

“Demon Muscles” continued to exert its terrifying effect, and Su Li’s strength kept rising. As he swung the Dragon Rhino Fish up for the fifth time and then slammed it down hard, a loud “crunch” was heard. The fish’s body bent sharply. The major bones within its body were completely broken. Blood gushed profusely from its open mouth.

The Dragon Rhino Fish’s life signs were faint; it was near death.

“Again!”

Su Li’s eyes were bloodshot. Combined with his bulging, contorted muscles, he looked like a demon. He lifted the severely bent Dragon Rhino Fish once more and slammed it down again.

With a tremendous “BOOM,” the Dragon Rhino Fish’s body split open. Bones protruded from the massive fissure, and blood and internal organs surged out.

The gigantic fish’s body was nearly severed in half, held together by only a small piece of flesh.

Su Li’s body swayed. He finally released the tail he had been gripping tightly. Only now did he feel a wave of numbness wash over him, along with a distinct sense of exhaustion and weakness.

“Demon Muscles” provided him with unimaginably terrifying strength, but the stamina depletion and the strain on his body were equally unimaginable.

Seeing a Spiritual Source emerge from the massive fissure in the Dragon Rhino Fish, Su Li let out a long breath. His legs immediately gave way, and he slumped onto the ground.

The Spiritual Source merged into his forehead and vanished. In the next moment, a message surfaced.

“Level 5 Spiritual Source Wielder: Spiritual Source 14/70”

A Level 6 Rare-class Dragon Rhino Fish had granted him 12 Spiritual Sources.

Having harvested 12 Spiritual Sources in one go, new power rapidly surged into his body, which had been on the verge of collapsing. His stamina quickly began to recover.

“If I could hunt a few more of these Rare Beasts, wouldn’t I be able to level up again quickly?” Su Li thought. He knew that such Rare Beasts must be few in number; otherwise, they wouldn’t be classified as Rare.

Looking at the Dragon Rhino Fish, which lay on the ground nearly severed in two, Ding Longyun and the others finally snapped out of their daze and rushed over.

The swelling muscles on Su Li’s body were rapidly subsiding; he was withdrawing from the “Demon Muscles” state.

“Su Li, you are absolutely incredible!” Ding Longyun exclaimed, his face full of envious longing.

Su Li looked up, smiled at him, and was about to speak when he suddenly let out a small gasp, noticing a change in the Dragon Rhino Fish’s corpse.

The single horn on the Dragon Rhino Fish’s forehead, which had been dark yellow and faintly shimmering, was shrinking. It seemed to lose all its vital energy, rapidly withering, and quickly detached.

“What is this…” Su Li was puzzled.

His “Peering Rune” had not indicated that killing the Dragon Rhino Fish would grant any special ability. Yet, he now saw the horn detaching. Didn’t this imply that killing it would grant a special ability? If so, why hadn’t the “Peering Rune” provided a hint? Was it because his level was too low?

To Su Li’s astonishment, the shriveled, detached horn transformed into a dark yellow ball of light. Like a streak of rainbow light, it instantly struck Su Li’s chest and disappeared inside.

A new message appeared in his mind.

“Acquired the Dragon Rhino Fish’s Horn. This horn contains the entire life essence of the Dragon Rhino Fish and is considered a treasure. When fused with the body and driven by Spiritual Source energy, it can materialize outside the body as a weapon. Activating the Spiritual Source energy within the weapon can unleash the ‘Dragon Rhino Slash,’ which will be impervious to all defenses.”

Sensing the message, a strange look crossed Su Li’s face. He slowly stood up from the ground, feeling a powerful, surging energy contained within his chest. He slowly extended his right hand toward his chest. He felt all his energy gathering in his chest. The energy grew powerful, almost uncontrollably so, feeling as if it was about to explode.

Su Li placed his right hand on his chest and slowly clenched his fist. He felt the surging energy in his chest overflow into his right hand, solidifying and forming a dark yellow sword hilt.

He gripped the hilt emerging from his chest and slowly drew it out. Dazzling light streamed from his chest as he continuously pulled the object out, making it grow longer and longer.

Ding Longyun, Gong Xiao, and the other two stared wide-eyed, expressions of disbelief on their faces. They had never witnessed such a sight before.

Su Li was drawing an energy-based object from his own chest?

Finally, Su Li fully drew out the energy-based object. The light subsided, and it had solidified in his right hand, forming a beautifully crafted, entirely dark yellow sword.

The weapon was about one meter long. The hilt was shaped like a dragon’s head, and the blade shimmered faintly, radiating a chilling sharpness.

Gripping the sword, Su Li felt a strange connection to it, as if it were an extension of his own body. Information about the weapon immediately appeared in his mind.

“Name: Dragon Rhino Sword. Sword Technique: Dragon Rhino Slash.”

Ding Longyun murmured, “My god, it turned into a sword! What kind of special ability is that? I’ve never seen anything like it.” He assumed it was a special skill similar to his “Soul Devour,” but this was the first time he had seen an ability that materialized into a complete, usable longsword.

But Su Li knew this was not a special ability, but a genuine weapon—a weapon materialized by fusing the Dragon Rhino Horn with Spiritual Source energy. Holding the sword, it felt like a part of his body. With a thought, he brought the sword down and sliced across the concrete floor in front of him.

The Dragon Rhino Sword cut into the concrete floor as easily as slicing a block of tofu, meeting no resistance. The sword’s sharpness astonished him. He profoundly understood the meaning of a divine weapon and cutting metal like mud.

Beyond its incredible sharpness, the sword came with a specific technique. It could be activated by channeling the Spiritual Source energy within the sword. However, after each use, a cooldown period was required for the sword’s Spiritual Source energy to replenish before it could be used again.

For Su Li, the Dragon Rhino Sword was a massive boon, elevating his combat power to a new level.

He had just lost an ordinary machete but gained a divine Dragon Rhino Sword. The haul from this one fight was truly immense.

Holding the Dragon Rhino Sword in his right hand, he thought about it. The sword returned to his chest. As it touched his skin, it transformed into an energy state under his control, fusing back into his chest and disappearing. The next time he needed to use it, he simply had to draw it out from his chest again.
