Chapter 14 The Mutant King?
Back in his rented room, Jiang Feng didn't rush to rest. Instead, he took out his student ID and inserted it into the video monitoring device provided by the school.
Before venturing into the contaminated area, he must first master the newly acquired martial arts techniques and skills.
First is the "Strengthening the Essence and Tempering the Body Technique".
As expected of the most suitable martial arts technique for beginners, the content in the instruction video is not complicated. Jiang Feng followed the guidance on the screen, mobilized his martial arts qi and blood, and slowly circulated it to his internal organs according to the corresponding meridian sequence.
In no time at all, he had completed his first cycle.
As his eyes opened and closed, subtle changes occurred in his body.
"My Qi and Blood seem to have become denser and heavier, and my Qi and Blood limit has also increased?" Jiang Feng sensed something and opened the attribute panel.
Sure enough, his health increased by 1 point, and he gained a new attribute bar.
Jiang Feng
Base HP: 821/1200
[Blessed with: Primal Chains (Initial 1%)]
[Effects: Strengthens the gene lock, stabilizes blood circulation, and upon mastery, significantly reduces the risk of distortion caused by stellar radiation erosion, blood circulation disorder, and improper cultivation; it also optimizes blood circulation efficiency, making the martial artist's blood circulation more substantial and solid.]
"nice one!"
With time running out and the task heavy, Jiang Feng quickly began practicing, circulating the technique through his body for several cycles.
After thoroughly memorizing the operating route, he put away the technique and instead activated the fire-attribute martial art, Flame Collapse Fist.
Flame Collapse Fist
"Using the martial artist's own boiling blood and qi as a catalyst, the fire of blood and qi is ignited. Once mastered, the fist is wrapped in explosive fire qi, which can effectively block the regeneration of severed limbs of aberrant variants and has a natural attribute restraint effect on various aberrant variants."
Jiang Feng silently recited the effects of the martial arts techniques in his mind, memorizing them in one go.
He then began to practice.
Consistent with the training method of that technique, he memorized the corresponding Qi and blood meridian routes of the martial arts, guiding the Qi and blood along the fist path and converging at the fist tip...
As the movement ended, he naturally clenched his hands, and the calm blood and qi surged violently in his hands in an instant. The next moment, a faint red ripple that could be seen with the naked eye appeared on the surface of his fist.
And then----
"Oh!"
He slammed his fist into the stake in front of him with all his might. Suddenly, two crimson flames, like dragons, rose up from both sides of the ripples and exploded in the air with a loud bang. This was the activation of the passive skill [Twin Flames].
With a loud "bang!", the stake he had used for many years could no longer hold on and collapsed with its charred remains.
"......"
Jiang Feng withdrew his hand, looking at the messy living room, feeling both satisfied and a little heartbroken.
"Looks like I'll have to train outside from now on."
After saying that, the attribute panel was opened again.

"good!"
He nodded and put away his student ID.
All he needs to do now is practice more. He's going to the contaminated area tonight, which is the perfect opportunity for him to stack up his passive skills and martial arts proficiency!
.........
Midnight, in the central part of the contaminated area.
A cold, fishy wind and a putrid smell hit me.
Jiang Feng and Zhang Ruanruan walked through the dim and damp passageway. In front of them stood five human mutants walking together.
"Five Level 2 Aberrations, or will you take them?" Before Jiang Feng could answer, she had already taken a step back.
Jiang Feng hummed in agreement, his fingertips tracing the steel rod stained with dark green blood as he excitedly watched the five mutants in the shadows before him.
"There are 5 more floors."
After acquiring fire-attribute martial arts skills, his monster-killing speed underwent a qualitative change. Including these 5 aberrations, his record tonight has reached a terrifying 25!
Looking at the monsters before him, he smiled and took a step forward.
The moment he landed, several frenzied roars and screams suddenly erupted from the shadows. As if sensing danger from the young man before them, the five figures rushed out together, forming a pincer movement that locked him firmly in place.
Jiang Feng did not back down.
He raised his right hand, casually leaned the steel rod to his side, and the blood and qi of the second level of body tempering surged and boiled in his meridians!
Red ripples instantly appeared on his hand. He suddenly clenched his right fist and exerted force. Two red flame bullets, like swimming dragons, blasted out with scorching fist force and a whistling sound that tore through the air. They accurately hit the chest of a level 2 aberration.
A series of muffled explosions rang out. Before the Level 2 mutant could even scream, its entire chest cavity was blasted open by flames. Its infected flesh and internal organs were instantly incinerated by the high temperature. Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground, lifeless.
Before the remaining four mutants could react, Jiang Feng had already moved swiftly, dodging and weaving among the monsters like a god of death, his scorching fists pounding into their bodies one after another.
Each Flame Collapse Fist strike was followed by a secondary injury from the Twin Flames. This terrifying burning meant that these Level 2 Aberrations had no time to heal their flesh before they died completely.
In less than 10 minutes, the five mutants were unable to resist and turned into blood.
Immediately afterward, a golden light flashed, and five familiar warm currents emerged from Jiang Feng's body, flowing through his limbs and bones throughout his entire body.
[Kill 5 Level 2 Aberrations]

----
He let out a long sigh, and the red ripples on his hand gradually disappeared.
Pull back your fist; the fight is over.
Of all the aberrations he encountered tonight, only three were level 1, the rest were level 2.
This also significantly increased his maximum health.
In the past, it would have been impossible to achieve this so easily with just the boost from the Hextech Ability [Transcendent Evil]. However, when combined with martial arts skills and [Twin Flames], his combat power has undergone a qualitative leap.
"Let's go."
Zhang Ruanruan's words interrupted his train of thought.
"We've almost covered the entire central region; in a little while, tonight's mission will be over."
"Okay," Jiang Feng replied.
The energy bars he had brought earlier had long been consumed, and his body was nearing its limit.
Further ahead, past the middle section, lies the inner perimeter, a place where only martial artists at the Qi and Blood Realm can survive; they are currently unable to even set foot there.
Just as Jiang Feng was about to take the next step forward-----
Zhang Ruanruan's somewhat surprised voice made him pause in his tracks.
"A mutant king?! How could something like that be here?!"
