Soul Dominator of the Devouring Star

Chapter 7: An Astonishing Advancement, Becoming a Martial Artist!

"Just extracting a tiny bit of flesh and blood essence, and the effect is so amazing?"

Qin Ming was shocked.

Although he hasn't tested it yet, Qin Ming believes that his punching power and speed have definitely reached the level of a quasi-martial artist, and are still improving at an astonishing rate.

Faced with the crimson aura, it seemed as if every cell was emitting a signal of hunger.

This is a completely different experience from the natural improvement that comes with a strong soul.

Suppressing his excitement, Qin Ming stopped pulling out his arm and withdrew it, thus halting the absorption of the Myriad Soul Banner.

If the same monster ingests too much, it's easy to detect the anomaly.

There are plenty of monster corpses in the monster decomposition center, so there's no need to put all your eggs in one basket. Although there are many surveillance cameras here, as long as you put your arm inside the monster corpse and then pull it out, there is no possibility of being discovered.

Immediately, Qin Ming quickly dismantled the bone-armored shrimp's shell and moved on to the next low-level beast soldier monster.

Then repeat the process of breaking down the boneless shrimp, swallowing only a tiny bit from each one.

Disassembling monsters is definitely a physically demanding task.

Even with Qin Ming's physical condition, he only managed to butcher twenty-three heads in one morning, and he was still drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

Of course, one important reason for this is that dismantling monsters is different from killing them; you can simply find a vital spot and stab it in.

The valuable materials must be removed as intact as possible.

This will test your skills.

The original owner had studied professional anatomy, but had very little practical experience, so naturally his efficiency was low.

However, this dissection also allowed Qin Ming to learn a lot about the monster's corpse. He not only knew which parts had valuable materials, but also clearly understood where these monsters' weaknesses lay.

This is an excellent opportunity that will be of great benefit when we actually confront the monster in the future.

To help Qin Ming better understand the monster, Meng Hao even had him dissect an Iron-haired Wild Boar and a Tiger-dog.

Qin Ming was very grateful, as it was clear that the other party was taking care of him.

These two monsters are not sea monsters, but land monsters.

Behind War Base 003 lies City 003, the largest monster gathering place in Eurasia. The military frequently sweeps around the base, so it's normal to find some land monster corpses there.

But what Qin Ming found strange was that the Myriad Soul Banner couldn't find any souls inside the two monster corpses!

Not only the two land monsters, but also some sea monsters that died relatively early had no souls, or their souls were extremely weak.

After repeated confirmation, Qin Ming discovered that he could not absorb the souls of those who had been dead for more than a day. Furthermore, the longer the time since death, the weaker the soul became.

"It seems that if I have the opportunity, I should go to the battlefield again. The souls of the monsters that have just been killed are the most powerful. The souls of monsters dissipate quickly after they die."

Qin Ming thought to himself.

Thinking in his mind, Qin Ming pried open and dismembered the last primary beast soldier-level armored crab, extracted some of its blood and flesh essence, and then stopped the decomposition.

After extracting the flesh and blood of 23 low-level beast soldiers, the total amount is comparable to that of a complete low-level beast soldier monster.

A continuous stream of crimson energy flowed into Qin Ming's body, nourishing every thirsty cell.

Even with all his might, he couldn't absorb it all; the crimson energy within the Myriad Soul Banner had already condensed into a palm-sized piece of crimson liquid.

According to Qin Ming's own estimation, this was enough for him to absorb for a day.

It was already past midnight, and the others gradually stopped disassembling the equipment and went to eat.

"Brother Meng, I'm going back now. I might need to trouble you again in the future."

Qin Ming walked up to Meng Hao, who was dismantling the corpse of a beast general-level armored giant crab, and looked at him with gratitude. If it weren't for Meng Hao's help, it wouldn't have been easy for him to get in.

"Haha, what's the big deal? I've gained free labor. You can come anytime you want." Meng Hao also stopped what he was doing.

"Hey, go see if there's anything you'd like to eat, you can take some with you. This monster meat isn't worth much, but it tastes pretty good."

Since you're new here, you can take it to the kitchen and have them prepare a nice meal for you.

Meng Hao cut off more than ten pounds of meat from the armored giant crab and threw it to Qin Ming, then pointed at Qin Ming and began to dissect a pile of monster flesh and blood himself.

This is considered a perk at the monster carcass decomposition center; as long as you don't take too much, no one will care.

After all, these things are more than we can eat, and they will most likely end up in the incinerator anyway.

The refining of Kro alloy mainly involves extracting parts such as the carapace and bones of monsters. Most of the flesh and blood has very low value, especially some low-level beast soldiers.

Most martial artists, when they go out hunting, are too lazy to bring back the corpses; they only want the essence.

Base 003 is dangerous, but the benefits are top-notch.

Putting aside everything else, eating monster meat every day, many soldiers' physical fitness has reached the level of advanced cadets.

"Thank you, Brother Meng."

Qin Ming didn't stand on ceremony. He accepted the crab meat Meng Hao handed him, then walked to the side, picked up a piece of iron-haired wild boar foreleg meat, and left with a smile.

Carrying two large pieces of meat, Qin Ming headed straight for his dormitory. Along the way, he found a spot to tear off a piece of the beast-general-level crab meat and devour its essence.

As he had predicted, the flesh and blood of a beast general contained far more essence.

However, Qin Ming did not devour it all, but carried it back to his dormitory.

"Qin Ming, what's going on?"

As soon as Jia Hong opened the door, he looked at Qin Ming, who was carrying large bags of meat, with a surprised expression. He was still a little worried about Qin Ming, after all, it was his first time on the battlefield.

As for the others, they were all sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.

A night of intense fighting is something most people would find hard to endure.

"Squad leader, I got this from the monster dismantling center."

Qin Ming immediately offered an explanation, saying there was nothing to hide.

"Tsk tsk, young people are so healthy. They even spent the whole morning working at the monster decomposition center. Just leave the meat here, I'll find someone to process it."

Crab meat of beast-general caliber, and the foreleg of the Iron-haired Wild Boar—these are all good stuff.

Let's go grab something to eat first, then head to bed.

Jia Hong shook his head and chuckled. After working all night, he could still do a morning's worth of work. Nobody else could do that.

"Okay, I'll do as the class monitor says."

Qin Ming agreed with a smile; he did indeed feel tired.

After having dinner with squad leader Jia Hong, we rested immediately. It wasn't until the evening that we got up and had a big meal with our teammates, and then slept until the next day.

The next day, after finishing training with his teammates, Qin Ming went straight to the martial arts training center.

At Base 003, besides daily training, the main training method is self-training.

Who wouldn't want to become a martial artist?

Once you reach the level of a quasi-martial artist, becoming a martial artist will immediately transform you and allow you to achieve a leap in your social class.

"After absorbing it all overnight, I've completely absorbed the essence of flesh and blood within the Myriad Soul Banner. I wonder how much my strength will increase?"

Standing in front of the punching power testing machine, feeling the abundant power within his body, Qin Ming unleashed a punch.

A line of numbers was clearly visible on the punching bag.

"1326 kg!"
