"This place really has no rules at all..."
Having spent less than a day in this area, even Lu Ping’an wanted to leave.
He had realized why this godforsaken place is a nest rather than a city, even though its size and population would qualify it as a city-state.
"Probably, only beasts can adapt to the comfort of the Beast Nest."
Looking displeased, looking really interested, looking normal but wanting to touch... Various reasons come to mind spontaneously, and the next moment turns into various forms of duels to the death.
No rules? Actually, there are. You’re free to do anything, like killing someone in the street or getting things for zero coins, no one cares at all.
"...In just these few hours, we’ve fought over thirty battles. Even though we’re not weak and have killed quite a few, why have we still become the focus?"
"You walk into a zoo... a toy store, and you see a new species, you naturally want to try it out, right?"
"But isn’t there a more peaceful and rational way of interaction?"
Lu Ping’an was very displeased; he disliked disorder, disliked starting wars within five seconds of meeting, and liked even less the sight of something far in the sky and then flying over a dozen kilometers to take the initiative to visit...
"What you can’t accept the most is not war and fighting, but senseless slaughter without reason or benefit, right?"
And Big Cat saw through the essence of Lu Ping’an in a single glance.
He thought for a moment, nodded, it was indeed the case. This waste of "Life," even at a subconscious level, he was starting to reject.
"...I’ll try to adapt."
When it was pointed out, Lu Ping’an didn’t make excuses. Looking back, he indeed felt a bit "over-sensitive," feeling that the currency of life must produce some value... while in nature most life forms devour each other, growing, reproducing, dying, their mere existence is everything.
"I was arrogant; I shouldn’t define other species with the human perspective."
Perhaps, this very slaughter, this mutual verification of evolution, this consuming each other whereby the weaker also become a part of oneself, is the foundation that has carried this world to present day.
He looked up at the sky, contemplating at the "Wine Creek" monster... Since this world could foster monsters of such caliber, he, as a "Weaker," indeed had no right to question the survival and evolution methods of the "Strongman."
"...But you’ve killed the most, and you’ve been very happy while doing it."
And the sly Big Cat did not hesitate to point out Lu Ping’an’s "innate tendencies."
Perhaps the consciousness was very clear... but at Lu’s level, indulgence in instinctual slaughtering was quite normal.
"...I’ve just experienced growth in my Fire-control ability, I am also a part of this Plane, and I can also evolve through slaughter. My Fire-control ability has been stagnant for quite a long time."
Lu Ping’an gave an explanation, but the quieter he spoke... Even without benefits, he would have killed very happily.
And now, around his body are "remains"... As an outsider, he couldn’t perfectly digest these "dishes," which also stirred up other Elemental Life.
"Killed enough? Let’s continue!"
At this time, Senior Trina returned and casually tossed him a lantern.
"What’s this?"
"Light it up, and you’ll be covered by Energy smoke, making you appear to local life forms as a gaseous Magic Monster."
Lu Ping’an fell silent. If you had this thing, you should have said so earlier, why bother fighting and killing all the way.
"Are you sure? No matter how long you look, no matter how much I say, it’s not as good as you just having a kill, right?"
The rationale was the same, and Lu Ping’an could only sigh again and honestly get back to work.
But it must be said, the rationale was indeed this; after this slaughter, after personally dismantling and destroying so many high-level Elemental Life forms, Lu Ping’an’s understanding of their nature had surpassed that of numerous experiments combined.
".....Somewhat interesting."
Utilizing energy forms, a group of people found a relatively quiet area, chased away the original "residents," and settled down for the short term.
Even though Lu Ping’an and his group disguised themselves in their eyes..... they simply didn’t care, completely ignoring them, perhaps in their line of thought, the concept of disguise doesn’t exist at all, just a bit strange why the Flesh People turned back into locals, and there are too many local life forms, so they cannot be killed off in a moment.
With a "place of residence," Lu Ping’an could also work more at ease, starting to "analyze" directly on site...the pile of samples that were like a mountain, which were much more valuable than the dried specimens provided by the local Church.
"Truly interesting, they have formed a nucleus with low-level same clan life forms..."
These life forms..... at least they seem to be living entities, their intelligence is clearly higher than low-level counterparts, and those "burning gemstones" that Lu Ping’an holds in his hand vaguely possess a "soul’s" flavor.
"Phoenix Tearstone, one of the most valuable local specialties, very helpful for Elemental Cultivators, and a favorite high-grade raw material for various Craftsmen and Scholars."
Someone provided Lu Ping’an with an analysis, it seems that the Martial God Church has also been "mining" here a lot.
But what Lu Ping’an is more interested in is....
"Somewhat interesting, you see this black gemstone, it has a fear to it....."
Lu Ping’an gently places it into his mouth, letting it dissolve inside his body.... Flamessuddenly burst forth, the storm composed of high-energy particles is a super radiation storm, capable of easily killing ordinary Mortal life forms.
As for Lu Ping’an himself, he only felt his body and bloodline become lively, as if he was charged up in an instant.
"Soul materialization...or rather, energy has transformed into material, and a huge accumulation of material ultimately solidifies into a soul? No, no, can’t think about it, there’s no answer."
Soul (Spirit) and flesh (material), which is primary, this classic philosophical debate, is not something Lu Ping’an dares to touch.
But what Lu Ping’an is now most thrilled about is.....
He taps gently and continuously, patterns begin to appear on the black gemstone, as if it could fall apart at any moment.
"Silver Rune Martial Technique.....no, Vibration Martial Technique, turns out to be quite effective in this world."
Earlier, he had unconsciously interfered with the Elemental Flame, directly offsetting its vibration causing mutual annihilation upon collision.
Now, it seems his ability can also interfere with the local Elemental Life.
"If it’s an ability, it’s a wave, then as long as I see it, I can interfere with it..."
How to interfere? A wave of the same kind, same frequency?
Trina was correct, a journey, a frontline combat, a personal "touch," is far more effective than repeated brooding at the rear camp.
Now, Lu Ping’an not only has found a further direction for his experiments, but his Martial Skill also seems to have a new direction for evolution.
The Wave Battle Axe, this ocean Martial Skill that creates "patterns" and "vibrations," perhaps its limit is far beyond expectations.
Perhaps in a short time, this world will have an additional set of "Lu’s Slaying Method."
"Perhaps, I have found the possibility of infusing them with emotions....."
At this moment, Lu Ping’an couldn’t help but recall his "Silver Rune," the ability to hide the vibration within the opponent’s body and suddenly detonate it in the future.
If possible, couldn’t he also transform "emotions" into "Silver Runes," constantly affecting the essence of Elemental Creatures?
As for the vessel for the Silver Runes? Why not try those "Phoenix Tear Stones" right before his eyes?
"Senior Trina, Chris... how about we go out for another stroll, without disguising this time."
It seems that Lu Ping’an feels the materials are still not enough.
