One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 548: Chapter 452: You Know Nothing About Power

“Is that all you’ve got?” Su Heng sighed softly, his face expressionless, but his eyes carried a hint of disappointment.

Beasts are inherently volatile creatures, and after being transformed by the King Insect, their desire for slaughter only intensified. The events unfolding before the king of the beast pack were beyond his comprehension, but he showed no fear. With heavy panting, his rough, dark skin swelled, drool dripped from the corners of his mouth, and his aura grew even fiercer.

“Of course not!” Cardoze roared, “Come at me again!”

Although he had died once before, his thoroughly honed martial skills were preserved, etched into his muscles and bones.

Realizing that sheer brute force was insufficient against his current opponent, Cardoze immediately switched tactics. He pushed off the ground forcefully, leveraging his formidable physical condition to leap swiftly into the air. The gusting wind howled as he twisted his waist, and swung his other immense leg like a giant axe aimed at Su Heng’s neck.

He hoped that the sudden burst of power would bring Su Heng crashing to the ground, where he could then use his superb wrestling skills to subdue him.

However, this plan seemed laughable in Su Heng’s eyes.

“Forget it!”

Su Heng couldn’t help but think to himself, “This guy’s brain has been gnawed clean by insects, what kind of surprise could I possibly expect from him?”

Bang!

Su Heng’s fingers spread open as he reached out to block.

Cardoze’s powerful sweeping kick struck right into the palm of Su Heng’s open hand.

With his fingers clenching tightly, Cardoze’s shin made a cracking sound, crushed to dust, and a sinister smile appeared on Su Heng’s face.

Swing up, smash down!

Boom!

As the red clouds in the sky rolled backwards.

Cardoze’s robust body plummeted rapidly, colliding forcefully with the ground beneath him.

The earth shook, the soil cracked. His body emitted a series of crackling sounds, like a ferocious dragon’s strength roaring, his bones shattered on the spot, too many to count.

“Pfft!”

Cardoze’s body rebounded, then dropped.

He spat a mouthful of thick black blood, grinding his teeth, and his face suddenly swelled with large patches of dark blue veins.

“It’s not over yet!”

Seeing the look of disappointment on Su Heng’s face, Cardoze roared.

Using his remaining intact leg for support, he fiercely pushed off the ground. Even in his bloodied state, Cardoze’s speed reached unprecedented heights, so fast that he left afterimages, and the wind seemed to vanish without a trace, flickering in front of Su Heng in an instant.

This time…

A look of interest finally crossed Su Heng’s face.

“Racial talent, huh?” Powered by his strong spiritual power, he deduced some clues.

Like Cardoze’s original race, the more grievously wounded and close to death they were, the more they could fully activate their life force, experiencing a surge in combat power. It was difficult to imagine what harsh natural environment could lead to the evolution of such extreme talent. Unfortunately, even though Cardoze was giving his all, such speed was still too slow in front of Su Heng.

Ssst!

As Su Heng clenched his fingers.

His entire arm rapidly mutated, engorged and covered with Dragon Scales.

Subsequently, a layer of silvery white Active Metal armor wrapped around the gaps in the Scale Armor, further enhancing its defensive power.

Crack!

Then he reached out his hand forward.

The huge dragon claw, along with Cardoze’s two arms and broken blade, all clutched together.

As a warrior tempered a thousand times, Cardoze’s muscles and bones were many times tougher than steel. But the strength of Su Heng at this moment was immeasurable; even in his incomplete human form, it was no more difficult than crushing a block of tofu. Under Su Heng’s indifferent gaze, cold sweat immediately seeped down Cardoze’s forehead.

Snap, a crisp sound.

His two palms were crushed to dust by Su Heng.

Crimson flesh and white shards of bone spilled out between the gaps of Su Heng’s fingers.

But this was not the end.

Bang!

With a kick thrust forward by Su Heng.

Cardoze screamed, the distance between the two was once again widened.

“Weak indeed.” A hint of disdain on Su Heng’s face, he looked down at his blood-smudged arms as if discarding two dry branches, casually throwing them to the ground.

In front of him.

Cardoze knelt on the ground, his face contorted in pain, gasping heavily.

Both of his arms were broken at the shoulders, blood gushing, staining the ground red.

“If it were the me from before, the fight would have been won by now, but now…” Cardoze gasped, his face showing a look of shame.

He opened his mouth, but a sudden intense pain struck his consciousness like lightning.

“Aaaaah!”

Cardoze screamed, his eyes rolling back.

As if Insect Eggs inside his body burst, “pfft,” a large amount of amber liquid gushed out from the fractures, immediately followed by two dark green, mantis-like limbs stretching out from the wounds, replacing his arms.

The mutation was not over, it had just begun.

Screech!

In the nerve-wracking sound of flesh tearing.

Cardoze’s back bulged high, followed by his body swelling, countless tumor-like muscles growing under his skin.

Like mushrooms growing in the right conditions, Cardoze’s body also proliferated at an unimaginable rate. His ribs pierced through his skin, bloodily exposed to the air, then further mutated into sharp, insect-like legs. The tumorous lumps on his back squeezed together, fused and proliferated, forming an Armor shining with a metallic luster.
