In this incident, the biggest beneficiary and the victim were probably the same person.
"...Uh, I’m not feeling great today."
Waking up from his sleep, "Black and White Bear" Xue En began a new day.
He was a warrior, an explorer, and an unlucky guy.
Usually, he woke up at irregular times...depending on when he fell out of bed or was awakened by some chaos.
What he liked most about his new body were the two big dark circles under his eyes...which made his original dark circles and decadent spirit indistinguishable.
After all, for people in his line of work, they couldn’t sleep too deeply, otherwise, a nightmare might send them away.
One’s subconscious mind could be somewhat controlled when awake, but when dreaming, it tended to run wild.
Today, he was awakened by a stone suddenly smashed through the window. Was it an accident? Or the act of a group hostile towards outsiders? Xue En did not know, he was too lazy to look out the window, so he just silently got up, washed up, and started a day’s work.
The other teams were not welcoming of this young man, so he ended up with a new job besides his daily training.
"Let’s start with today’s training. Begins with running laps, as physical strength is the foundation of everything..."
This was the courtyard training ground, where all the young people who successfully mutated into Beastmen were gathered. They did not suppress their Beastification Talent...it’s much better to be a Beastman than a Mutant.
After accepting this "change," they were unwilling to settle for a peaceful labor life and naturally wanted to become a battle-profession.
At this time, everyone else was busy, and Xue En, who couldn’t find a "work group," seemed very special.
In addition, his strength was good, and he also had Beastification Talent, so he was hired as an instructor for new recruits... It must be said, he was doing pretty well.
However, becoming a warrior was not easy, and just after a few days of hard training, more than half of the new recruits chose to quit directly.
This morning, Xue En guessed that there would be a few more absentees.
Unexpectedly, he guessed the first part but not the second part.
"...Are there two more people missing? Heh, can’t stand it? Looks like my premonition came true again..."
"Li Wen is suffering from diarrhea, and Su Keqing has a muscle strain, they can’t even get out of bed, so they asked for a day off."
Xue En opened his mouth, not knowing what to say... He decided it was better to keep his mouth shut.
"...It’s definitely not my curse."
The next moment, he unconsciously restrained his thoughts, not wanting to harm others any more.
While supervising the new recruits’ training, he also did some adaptive exercises for himself... The new body’s condition required a lot of actual combat and training to get used to.
He was very satisfied with his current physical condition. He used the Life Bank’s ability to check himself, and his original "Black Iron middle-rank" physique had reached Brass Upper, and the most outrageous part was that his Reflex had also reached Middle Brass.
In Lu Ping’an’s words, it was the "Level 3 Power and Agility Standard"... Put bluntly, now in a hand-to-hand combat with Xia Qin, he vaguely occupied the advantage in terms of hardware!
This was still the case when he hadn’t fully developed his physical limits. He had a vague feeling that when he touched that "Broken Hand," something had entered his body.
It seemed that something was lurking in his body, waiting to be awakened... He didn’t think too much about it, as this was his way of survival.
After all, if he thought negatively, bad things would definitely happen.
Moreover, when training the new recruits now, he would restrain himself and not pay attention to their situation...
"Uh, don’t fall."
"This physical strength is not up to par, it won’t cause problems, will it?"
"Such a delicate face, becoming a warrior? A single punch will probably make you cry for a long time, won’t It? You won’t give up within an hour, will you?"
Apparently, this was all based on experience. All of his "predictions" for the new recruits came true.
Now, Instructor Xue En assigned tasks and then busied himself with his own tasks, waiting for the "monitor" to report back to him.
He always kept himself busy but strangely seemed very Buddhist-style... He had to be a bit Buddhist, for obsession was highly toxic to him.
He had no complaints about his current life, and even he was a bit scared of his increased strength.
"...I’ve been too lucky lately, and I always feel that I’ll have bad luck later... Uh, I shouldn’t think like this. Being like this is already unlucky enough; there shouldn’t be any extra disasters."
He was trying hard to convince himself, but did it work?
As he was busy training the new recruits, Xue En saw two rare guests appear on the side of the field.
"Lu Ping’an? Do you need me for something?"
"No, it’s her." Lu Ping’an shrugged,
Today, all his forty experiments had failed, so he had come out to change his mood.
He happened to run into Marian who seemed to be looking for Xue En, so he decided to come along.
Marian’s expression towards Xue En was always subtle in some way... In a sense, Xue En had destroyed the Beast God Sect’s dream that would have been impossible to achieve.
And now, his current stance had become the most valuable legacy of the Beast God Sect.
"... These are the archives of the Bear-man imperial guard I told you about earlier. Although some of it is old and outdated, it should still be useful as a reference."
The Hundred Wars Corps of the Beast God’s subordinates did not end just by changing their bodies.
On the contrary, transforming was just the beginning... Each Beastman transformation had completely different characteristics, and their martial skills, Abnormal Abilities, and Talents needed to be adjusted accordingly. This was also the fundamental reason for the significant difference in actual combat power among powerful Beastmen, as not every powerful Beastman could find the most suitable combat method and ability development method for themselves.
But now, Lu Ping’an and his party inherited the legacy of the Beast God Sect, which made things much easier. At least the training and Awakening methods of the four major Corps were complete, and they could walk all the way without any problems.
It was Xue En, the Bear-man, whose situation was different. Due to the long absence of suitable Awakened, the information was not only incomplete but also had been collecting dust in the warehouse for a long time... The Bear-man imperial guard and their Deities perished together, losing most of their direct-line heritage, which directly led to Bear-men being the rarest among the Beast God remnants.
Now, it was only when Marian found the time to sort out the information Xue En needed and personally deliver it to him.
"Oh, thank you. Heh, I thought you, Lady Catherine, had an accident and came to me, the only one who’s free, to be the team’s reinforcements..."
After finishing his sentence, before he even flipped through a couple of pages, he heard two sighs.
One was from Lu Ping’an, who had no solution for Xue En.
The other one was from Marian, whose expression displayed an uncontrollable anxiety...
"Have you heard already? Then I can save the effort. Mr. Xue En, can you help me with this favor?"
