A terrifying giant beast, taller than a man and over two meters long—David Clark had no idea what kind of demon beast this was. After all, he had only joined the sect recently and hadn’t had time to learn much, but he knew that after killing such a giant beast, skinning it, and roasting it over a fire, this pile of meat must weigh at least a thousand jin, right?

But in less than the time it takes a normal person to eat a meal, he actually finished off all this roasted meat—over a thousand jin—without leaving a scrap.

After eating more than a thousand jin of roasted meat, David Clark still didn’t feel even a bit full. This... this made cold sweat break out all over his body. Luckily, he hadn’t gone to the cafeteria to gorge himself, or his appetite alone would have scared people out of their minds.

And as he ate, David Clark could clearly feel his strength increasing again. Only after finishing off the pile of roasted meat did David Clark clap his hands and stand up, looking excitedly toward the wild forest outside the valley. Almost no one set foot in the first level of the Blood Prison, so in this stretch of wild mountains and dense forest, it was just him and countless first-rank demon beasts.

Chapter 007: Terrifying Recovery

“Whew~”

An hour later, after David Clark quickly killed a few bee demons the size of a normal person’s head and tossed their bodies on the ground, he finally frowned and reached for his back.

He was injured!

This was the first time he’d been hurt in an hour. With his current physical strength and speed, he was already a monster—ordinary first-rank demon beasts couldn’t touch him. But just now, while David Clark was devouring the roasted flesh of a demon beast, five bee demons suddenly shot out from the forest behind him. These demon beasts weren’t large and had poor defense, but their speed was incredibly fast.

So fast that even dodging with all his might, he barely managed to avoid them. After he killed four of the bee demons, the last one managed to sting him on the back. Now, a fist-sized blister was swelling up under his left shoulder, and even a slight touch sent waves of excruciating pain through him. Twisting his body to look, he saw that his back was starting to turn blue.

“Poisoned—damn it!”

Taking a deep breath, David Clark frowned tightly. He’d gotten careless. Hunting more than a dozen demon beasts had been easy, and he’d let his guard down, feasting again and again after each hunt, quickly devouring thousands of jin of bloody meat. But now, his carelessness had cost him.

His back burned with pain, and the fist-sized blister seemed to be growing. David Clark’s head was starting to feel dizzy. He sucked in another breath, grabbed a batch of roasted meat he hadn’t finished, and headed out of the valley. He didn’t know how potent the poison of a first-rank demon beast was, so he’d better go ask the senior guarding the exit if there was a way to detoxify it.

Moving swiftly, his body turned into a blur of gray light as he rushed toward the exit. As he walked, David Clark couldn’t help but stuff more roasted meat into his mouth. Poisoned or not, he still didn’t feel even a bit full. Thousands of jin of meat—this damn thing was enough to scare even himself. So he decided to finish off these dozens of jin of roasted meat before leaving; after all, it wouldn’t delay anything.

But after just a few dozen breaths, when David Clark was still several li from the exit of the first level of the Blood Prison, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stared blankly at his back.

The fist-sized blister on his back was gone. He reached back and felt the skin under his shoulder—smooth and clean, no more pain. Even the dizziness in his head had vanished!

“What’s going on? How did I suddenly recover?”

David Clark was stunned.

In his daze, he suddenly slapped his forehead, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. “Just now, while I was running, I finished off dozens of jin of demon beast meat in one go, and then the blister and poison on my back disappeared?”

After a long moment of shock, David Clark quickly turned around and hunted another demon beast in the forest. This time, after roasting the beast, David Clark gritted his teeth, grabbed the beast’s sharp horn, and stabbed it hard into his arm, easily slicing a wound a finger’s length and half an inch deep. David Clark waited for a while, but the wound didn’t change. Then he grabbed the roasted meat and started eating again.

After eating dozens of jin of roasted meat, the wound on his arm completely healed!!

A finger long, more than half an inch deep, the torn flesh had split outward, but within a few dozen breaths, it vanished without a trace—not even a scar left behind. All he’d done was eat dozens of jin of demon beast meat.

After another dozen breaths in a daze, David Clark grabbed the beast’s sharp horn again and cut a wound on his arm more than an inch deep and two fingers long. But as he ate quickly, the gruesome wound disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Hiss!!!”

David Clark leapt more than ten meters high, smashing a tree branch overhead. He knew his body had undergone an incomprehensible mutation. As long as he kept eating, his physical strength and speed would keep increasing. But, but...

He could actually recover from injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye? He’d thought he understood the mutation in his body, but now he realized he was far from grasping just how miraculous it was.

It was a long time before David Clark regained his composure, and when he did, his face was full of excitement and joy.

“Not only does my physical strength keep increasing, but I can also recover quickly from injuries... This is incredible! Doesn’t this mean I can use this to practice martial arts?”

“My martial arts comprehension is pretty poor—about the same as the other laborers—but compared to Ethan Wright, who was chosen by Gu Lieyang, I’m far behind. He mastered the Red Fire Fist in just over ten days, while I’ll need at least a month to get the Gale Fist to the beginner level...”
