Killing intent, huh? So that’s the term for it. No wonder last night when I saw Shen Yidao, I felt a sense of danger. That was killing intent.
Shen Yidao combines his killing intent with his blade energy, mastering both and merging them into one to reach a higher Realm.
Jiang Yan reminded, "In the future, if you meet someone with killing intent, avoid them if possible; they are very dangerous."
Jiang Long nodded. "Yanzi is right. On the Tundra Continent, there are many who eat raw meat to condense their killing intent. Such people are extremely unhinged.
"They attempt to control their killing intent through this method, allowing themselves to become possessed to enhance their Martial Arts. Only a very small number of people can achieve this.
"Most of them go mad, killing anyone they see, even resorting to cannibalism.
"You cannot imagine what it’s like to witness cannibalism; the scene is utterly terrifying.
"Their eyes radiate red light, and a sinister smile plays on their faces."
Jiang Hu said, "If you see them, run."
Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned. Then, he said with a smile, "Actually, I’d like to try."
The others stared at Jiang Chen. You want to try? Big Brother, we’re trying to warn you! And yet you actually want to become possessed, eat raw meat, and condense killing intent—are you insane?!
Jiang Chen, holding a piece of half-cooked meat, presented it and said with a smile, "Actually, medium-rare meat is quite delicious. If you don’t believe me, you can try it."
The others looked astonished. He’s seriously going to eat it! Isn’t he afraid of the spiritual power of an Abnormal Beast? It can cause a backlash against his own spiritual power!
Jiang Chen took a bite. No wonder some people like medium-rare beef. There’s a good reason for it; this meat is extremely tasty. Half raw, half cooked—two distinct flavors.
After eating the meat, Jiang Chen felt a difference; it was as if he saw Abnormal Beasts fighting, an invisible force rushing into his sea of consciousness.
Looking at Jiang Long and the others, he sensed the flesh and blood within their bodies. He desperately wanted to leap at them and take a bite.
Their complexions changed drastically as they saw Jiang Chen’s eyes turn red.
"Damn it, he really dares to consume the raw flesh of Abnormal Beasts!"
"He hasn’t become possessed already, has he? He only took one bite!"
"What do we do? If he becomes possessed, he’ll be hunted down."
"Wake up!" Jiang Hu roared.
Jiang Chen immediately came to his senses and quickly took a deep breath. Is this the spiritual power of an Abnormal Beast?
He immediately began to operate his mental method, suppressing this strange force...
[Absorbed 0.01 points of Killing Intent, hundredfold amplification successful, increased by 1 point of Killing Intent...]
So, Killing Intent can be amplified too.
Jiang Chen reopened his eyes.
Jiang Long breathed a sigh of relief. "You really scared us just now. Your eyes turned red; that’s a sign of demonic possession! Be careful in the future. The spiritual power of Abnormal Beasts isn’t easy to refine.
"Don’t do this again. Just focus on increasing your strength."
Looking at Jiang Chen, Jiang Hu said solemnly, "Becoming possessed is terrifying. You will be hunted down."
Jiang Chen nodded. Just now, I was indeed dominated by another force, as if everyone around me was food... My mind was filled with nothing but slaughter... slaughter...
He then said, "I know, but I will be careful."
Jiang Long exclaimed, "You’re not going to continue eating it, are you!"
"It’s fine, I can suppress it. Besides, this Killing Intent seems to be helpful for cultivation."
Jiang Yan nodded. "It is indeed helpful and can be infused into Martial Arts. However, you need to be cautious and avoid a backlash. Once that happens, you’ll be hunted down.
"At that point, no one will be able to protect you."
"Understood."
Jiang Chen took another bite. Having experienced it once, he wasn’t afraid anymore. He could circulate his energy to integrate the Killing Intent into his Dantian.
It was another kind of power—the power of slaughter.
This power was very peculiar, capable of enhancing the Attack Power of Martial Arts. After fully integrating with Martial Arts, it became even stronger.
The group felt helpless as they observed Jiang Chen’s determination.
Jiang Long and the others ate their food, and after finishing, they began to cultivate.
They continued to eat...
They continued to cultivate...
And Abnormal Beasts were indeed energy, pure physical sustenance.
What about Jiang Chen...
He kept eating the medium-rare Abnormal Beast meat, finding its taste exceptionally delicious...

「One day later...」
Most of the White Bear meat had been consumed.
[Jiang Chen]
[True Qi: 10,020]
[Rank: 4]
[Internal Cultivation Methods: Supreme Sensing Induction Chapter]
[Killing Intent: 30 points]
[Martial Arts: Diamond Indestructible Divine Power, Lingbo Weibu, Heaven Cutting Swords Technique, Shifting Time and Space, Wan Jian Gui Clan...]
He had become a Fourth-stage Expert in just one day. His progress was incredibly fast.
「As night fell...」
The group continued to eat the Abnormal Beast meat. Most Wanderers had returned to their base; some returned empty-handed, while others had been fortunate enough to hunt Abnormal Beasts.
Most people came back empty-handed and cast envious glances at the pile of Abnormal Beast meat in front of Jiang Long and his companions...
Jiang Long said, "Inside the base, we’re protected, so people generally don’t fight.
"If a fight does break out, members of the Qianren Association will intervene.
"This is to prevent infighting."
Jiang Chen nodded. It seems quite safe in the base; no need to worry about trouble.
Jiang Long continued, "Without hunting Abnormal Beasts, one can only starve. Thus, on the Tundra Continent, most die from hunger or are killed by others."
At that moment, CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! Jiang Chen glanced over and saw a small team fighting.
"Why won’t you share it with me?" a woman with a cold expression questioned them.
"Hmph, you didn’t contribute today. Why should you get a share?"
"We always divided it evenly in the past! Now you’re changing your tune? What about all the effort I put in before?"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. How can you compare the two?"
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The group began fighting again—four male Wanderers against one female Wanderer, showing no mercy.
Everyone watched the scene with great interest.
No one spoke up to stop them.
It was none of their business, so they didn’t get involved.
Such fighting over food within a team was all too normal here.
"Are they fighting over food?"
"Here, food is the only thing worth fighting desperately for. As long as there’s food, everything is negotiable. Without food, rifts in a team are inevitable."
"They were unlucky; they didn’t manage to hunt a single Abnormal Beast today."
"This is the Qianren Association’s territory. They’ll definitely be driven out."
"That woman seems to have injured her leg."
"She’s done for."
