"Pfft!"
Because his hand was firmly grasped by Ye Feng, this kick from Ye Feng landed squarely.
Wang Shanghui spurted out a mouthful of blood directly. Ye Feng rapidly leaped backward several times before dodging.
"Ah!"
Following that, the severe pain from his arm and chest made Wang Shanghui cry out in agony.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng frowned. He realized that Wang Shanghui, who had gained the strength of a Shanyao by using the enhanced serum, could not be treated as an ordinary Shanyao.
He had used about eighty percent of his strength to take that punch just now, and his fist also felt a sharp pain.
However, to Ye Feng's surprise, the system automatically added points again at this moment, adding 2 points to [Strength].
The next second, Ye Feng felt the pain in his fist diminish significantly.
"Damn… automatic smooth point allocation has this benefit~"
Although he had discovered before that increasing [Strength] also enhanced his recovery and defense, this immediate and visible effect still surprised Ye Feng greatly.
After all, he used to add points himself based on his own judgment. Not only was it troublesome, but sometimes it seemed to have no effect…
"Brat, I'll kill you!"
Injecting the enhanced serum not only granted a certain animal-related strength but also greatly improved recovery abilities.
At this moment, Wang Shanghui's dislocated arm and injured internal organs had already recovered, and he pounced towards Ye Feng again.
Ye Feng's expression was grave, and he met the attack again.
"Bang~ Bang!~"
"Crack~"
"Ah!~ Motherfucker!"
"Rumble~ Bang~"
"Crack!~"
…………
Following this were a series of dull thuds, bone-breaking sounds, screams, and curses.
"Bang!~"
A collision much duller than before, with an almost echoing sound, rang out.
It was Ye Feng who used a technique from Baguazhang called "Tieshankao" (Shoulder Bump), directly striking Wang Shanghui's chest with his shoulder and elbow.
Wang Shanghui's large body was instantly sent flying backward. In mid-air, with a "pfft~" sound, he violently spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"This……"
Ye Feng was very surprised.
That Tieshankao just now was something he had seen many times when watching others perform, and he had learned it by chance.
He had executed it almost instinctively, and he hadn't expected its power to be so immense.
"Bang bang!~"
At this moment, two more collision sounds rang out.
It was Wang Shanghui finally falling to the ground, bouncing once, rolling several times, and hitting a large rock before stopping.
"You… you…."
Wang Shanghui looked at Ye Feng with a terrified expression.
He could not understand how Ye Feng's body, which was only slightly more robust than that of a normal person, possessed such terrifying strength.
And at this moment, Wang Shanghui's massive body finally began to change. His bones and skin twisted, and he transformed back into his previous gaunt appearance.
To be precise, he was even thinner than before, with wrinkles appearing on his face and some of his hair turning white…
"Side effect of the enhanced serum?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and directly pulled Xiao Xiao away.
Because Chen Xinhui's face was pale, his crotch was wet, and he had been so terrified by what had just happened that he had wet himself…
…………
Second floor of the Explorer's Guild,
"So strong!"
"He could defeat Wang Shanghui, who had injected the enhanced serum and gained the strength of a Shanyao, to this extent solely through physical power!"
Standing by the window, Lin, dressed in a white shirt and tight pants, exclaimed with surprise.
"Indeed!"
Liu Lao Tou, also standing by the window, had a serious expression. "And his strength is likely far from this!"
"The wolf tooth club he was holding earlier, judging by his posture, doesn't seem to be his usual weapon!"
"It's more like he's using it to deter some petty individuals, given his young age, lack of muscles, and unthreatening appearance!"
He paused and added.
"Although he's quite strong, Wang Shanghui's real father is from Mech City…."
"And it's rumored that Wang Shanghui's father will be coming here soon~"
"He's likely in for big trouble!"
At this point, Lin's voice rang out again, with a hint of worry.
"Miss, are you worried about him?"
Liu Lao Tou turned his head and looked at Lin with a half-smile.
"Uncle Liu, what are you thinking~"
"I'm just worried that if he dies, we won't be able to exchange Arcane Yuan Coins with him~"
"And, Uncle Liu, with your status, please don't call me Miss. Grandpa will scold me if he knows~"
"I'm just assigned by Grandpa to learn from you!"
Lin's face flushed slightly as she spoke.
"Haha~"
Liu Lao Tou stroked his sparse beard and chuckled.
"But speaking of which, Uncle Liu, can the task we posted for a reward of 200 Spatial Rift Fragments really find the person we need?"
He paused, and Lin spoke again.
"In this world, ordinary explorers only take on tasks related to basic attributes like rewards and sustenance~"
"For advanced explorers, sustenance is generally not an issue, so they focus on tasks that can improve their strength~"
"Spatial Rift Fragments are rarely needed by ordinary explorers, and only a few slightly more capable explorers might have one or two~"
"The reward content of this task has already excluded the vast majority of explorers~"
"Anyone interested in a task with a reward of 200 Spatial Rift Fragments must be exceptionally strong~"
"If he can complete this task, his strength and intelligence will definitely meet the conditions of the person we are looking for!"
Liu Lao Tou's voice slowly sounded.
"Lin, you were the one who proposed posting this task. Why do you seem so unconfident?"
Finally, Liu Lao Tou added.
"This… I… I'm responsible for such a major matter for the first time, so I'm a bit flustered~"
Lin's expression was quite serious. Finding the right person was only the first step.
Although Lin looked worried, Liu Lao Tou appeared relieved.
"This task has also brought an additional gain~"
Then, Liu Lao Tou spoke again.
"Hmm? Additional gain?"
Lin looked at Liu Lao Tou with some confusion.
"Yes!~"
Liu Lao Tou nodded. "Given how much Ye Feng values the 200 Spatial Rift Fragments, if he can't complete the task before noon tomorrow, he'll likely extend the deadline~"
"This gives us more time~"
"After all, although we've sent people out~ we don't know if we can find a complete Survival Coin. And even if we do, it's not certain we can bring it back before noon tomorrow!"
"This is indeed…"
"By the way, what do you think of Ye Feng?"
…………
While Liu Lao Tou and Lin were discussing,
Ye Feng, with Xiao Xiao, was heading towards the last known location of the important figure's daughter, as described in the task order.
As they passed a small hill, a group of people suddenly blocked Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao.
"Kid, I heard you can exchange Arcane Yuan Coins at a 1:2 ratio?"
