Chapter 1 Extraordinary Evil
Chapter 1 Extraordinary Evil
In the year 2016 of the Apocalypse, in the Southern Star Region of the Empire, on the Eastern Star, in Lan City.
Inside a rented room in the Lower City District.
The stinging pain in his body made Jiang Feng grit his teeth and forcefully open his eyes.
On his right arm, the once smooth skin was now writhing strangely.
A chilling hissing sound rang out, and fingernail-sized, nauseatingly bluish-black fish scales, mixed with a viscous liquid, burst through his skin.
It felt as if a million ants were crawling in his ears, whispering like some indescribable, eerie entity, frantically tearing at his sanity.
"Damn it..."
He frowned, not expecting that the concentration of starlight radiation from the expensive purified water resources would exceed the standard by such a large margin!
Jiang Feng gripped his deformed right arm tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, trying to use the excruciating pain to fight against the delirious ramblings in his mind that were driving him mad.
He has been in this world for 18 years now, and he is very clear about his current situation.
Humans here entered the age of interstellar exploration thousands of years ago, but the magnificent starry sea is far more difficult to conquer than humans imagined.
In this world, gazing directly at the stars will cause your reason to crumble; contact with other races will cause your flesh to mutate into tentacles and eyeballs.
This is a high-martial arts world filled with evil monsters!
For ordinary people, the simplest way to survive is to embark on the path of extraordinary martial arts! Use a powerful mental force to resist the indescribable words, use explosive blood and energy to lock the gene chain, and burn away all external evils!
"Only by completely breaking through to the first level of the Body Tempering Realm and using the newly generated martial artist's blood and energy can these mutated cells be burned to death..."
"If I fail, after tonight I will become one of those mindless, flesh-devouring, mutated monsters in the sewers!"
Because he couldn't afford the Empire's special supply of clean water that was free from any star pollution, he had to drink the polluted food and water from the lower city year after year. The accumulated radiation from the abyss finally erupted tonight!
"Pfft!"
Just then, a fleshy lump suddenly swelled up on Jiang Feng's neck, and a tiny fleshy tendril covered with barbs was about to burst out of his body!
The last vestiges of reason in my mind are about to break through the critical point!
"Grass!"
On the brink of life and death, a ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Feng's eyes.
Instead of focusing on suppressing his fleshy tendrils, he used the last of his willpower to smash the solid barrier within his body like a heavy hammer.
boom!
Accompanied by a dull popping sound from the bones inside his body, it was as if some kind of shackle had been forcibly torn off.
At that moment, his heartbeat sounded like a war drum, and at the same instant, a soothing warmth spread from his heart, flowing through his body's meridians to his limbs and bones.
"Hiss..."
The pink fleshy tendrils that had just tried to burrow out of his body withered and dissipated as soon as the meridians came into contact with this warm current, as if the ice and snow had melted in the spring. After making a teeth-grinding squeaking sound, they quickly turned into pink dust and fell from the back of his neck.
"Huff... huff..."
Gasping for breath, Jiang Feng collapsed to the ground, his body looking as if he had been pulled out of the water.
but---
Feeling the faint yet real burning blood within his body, a smile of relief appeared on his lips.
Body Tempering Realm, First Level!
Not only did he survive, but he also endured the pollution and forcibly broke through to become a martial artist!
Just as he was about to get up to wash off the filth, a transparent panel that only he could see suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Host detected to have become a martial artist; Hextech System activated!]
[Note 1: Each time you break through to a higher realm, you can choose one of three Hextech advancements!]
[Note 2: Prismatic Hextech only appears when breaking through to a higher realm]
Please select your initial Hextech syndicate.
[Vampire Habits (Gold)]
[Effect: All your attacks will have a percentage-based lifesteal effect; your body can withstand different levels of mechanical modifications as your level increases without rejection.]
[Featherweight Fighter (Gold)]
[Effect: Greatly increases your attack speed and movement speed, making you as light as a feather and granting you an exceptional evasion rate]
[Extraordinary Evil (Gold)]
[Effect: Each time you kill an enemy (martial artist/mutated monster) with your own power, you will permanently increase your base strength by 1%. The enemy's level must be at least 1 level lower than your own. If the level of the enemy you kill is far higher than your own, you will receive an additional fixed increase (10%).]
(This is similar to the extraordinary evil in the game. Each kill only adds 1%, and it is tied to the martial bone aptitude. It stacks slowly in the early stages, but it stacks very quickly after the passive effect of stacking horned dragon and the additional bonus.)
(比如:基础资质是320,层数是2000层,叠角龙百分比是40%,那就是320*2000*40%=256000)

The moment Jiang Feng finished reading these three messages, his breath hitched.
father!
The despair I had just felt while struggling on the brink of life and death vanished completely, replaced by extreme excitement after seeing the Hextech options!
To this day, he still remembers that the main reason he was transported here was because he played the game in Hextech ARAM and got the ultimate 21 billion HP Emperor. Just when the screen was about to collapse, a white light flashed before his eyes, and that's how he ended up here.
He composed himself and focused his gaze on the panel in front of him.
"Vampire habit? Percentage-based bloodsucking sounds noble, but in this world where even a little bit of star pollution can cause tentacles to grow, if you happen to suck the blood of a high-level monster, you might end up sucking yourself into pieces."
"No!"
"That featherweight fighter?"
"It's even more chaotic now."
Jiang Feng wasn't stupid. With Hextech having unlimited growth potential right there, he couldn't possibly not choose it.
Having just experienced the life-or-death ordeal, he knew all too well what the only truth was in this world filled with indescribable terror.
When facing those bizarre monsters that kill with the rules at the drop of a hat, have their own mental pollution, are thick-skinned and can regenerate limbs, no matter how skillful your movement, how fast your attack speed, or how fancy your martial arts are, if you can't break through their defenses, what good are they!
With that in mind, he decisively chose [Transcendent Evil].
"As long as I choose [Transcendent Evil], my base strength will increase infinitely! Who would I need attack speed and lifesteal!"
All those fancy tricks are just for show!
boom!
The next moment, with his movement, the golden light representing [extraordinary evil] slammed into his brow.
Jiang Feng could clearly feel that his muscle fibers, blood viscosity, and even bone marrow were undergoing some kind of unobservable yet mysterious transformation.
The virtual panel in front of you then refreshes.

[Jiang Feng]
[Realm: Body Tempering Realm (First Heaven)]
[Martial Arts Aptitude: Mortal]
[Base Strength Value: 10]
[Base Health: 500/800]
[Already own Hextech: Extraordinary Evil (Gold): 0 stacks]

Jiang Feng didn't understand what the 10 basic strength represented for the time being, but he had a feeling that, given his current strength, he should have no problem lifting Boss Huang's energy motorcycle with all his might.
"Next week is the big exam for senior students to be placed in the martial arts class..."
Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist.
The major exam is crucial to one's future. If one achieves excellent results and is assigned to a special class, there is an even greater chance of receiving advanced martial arts techniques and skills from the school.
Previously, the living conditions here left him with no choice, but now that he has broken through to become a martial artist and has the Hextech System as a cheat, he naturally has something to look forward to regarding class assignments.
"As long as there are monsters for me to kill, and as long as all of this is real, it means my attack power can stack infinitely!"
Upon realizing this, Jiang Feng did not hesitate to get out of bed and pick up a solid steel rod from the corner of the wall. The rod was half the length of a person, as thick as an arm, and weighed more than 30 kilograms.
He pushed open the door, carrying a steel rod, and disappeared into the biting darkness of the lower city.
Target: Underground contaminated area!
In the lower part of Lancheng, where the sun never shines and is filled with all sorts of hooligans and drug addicts.
Most importantly, those scumbags at the bottom of society often use drugs containing hallucinogenic spores in pursuit of thrills, and the vast majority of them have lost their minds and are in a semi-distorted state.
For ordinary high school students, it is a deadly den of drugs where touching it is certain to lead to death, and where even a single glance can cause three months of nightmares.
But at this moment, in Jiang Feng's eyes, who was holding a steel rod...
Here is a shiny monster spawner specially prepared for him!
