Blood Titan System

During night time, the Nuclear Waste Station becomes even more dangerous than during the day. Therefore, both the guards keeping watch of everything and everyone and the other scavengers would immediately retreat as soon as the sun sets.

Previously, if the others saw Erian walking past the three hundred meter safe zone, the guards would most likely have stopped him. There wasn't much experienced scavenger after all and losing a talented one like Erian would be a loss.

Therefore, Erian patiently waited until it was night time when everyone had gone to their various home before thinking about coming out.

The young man in question was currently flushed red like a tomato. He was panting as though he had just run a marathon. His heart pounded heavily as he tried desperately to perform the last stance, but his body seem far too exhausted for that.

He gritted his teeth and struggled to get his breathing under control. Using the specific breathing pattern of the last stance, his upside down motion finally changed and his legs were twisted together like a rope.

'Finally!'

With a soft thud, Erian's body involuntarily slammed into the ground. There was a pool of sweat below him as his body permeated with intense heat and covered him with a shiny sheen of sweat and Fluid Extract.

He appeared very exhausted, but strangely, his body and mind felt really active. It was for sure his body cannot handle another set of that demonic, body exhausting art or he would immediately collapse and go unconscious.

The internal injuries in his body had mostly healed and his broken ribs seem to have mended quite well. Apart from his sore muscles and bones, he couldn't feel any pain at the moment.

Subsequently 20 minutes of rest, his sore muscles had recovered.

It's finally time. Erian grabbed the two sharp horns with two hands. They were like two sharp daggers anyways and they are ridiculously sharp, he tightened them to his waist.

Pushing out the lump of metals he had used as blockage, Erian stepped out. Breathing in massive loads of air. The metallic stench of rusted metal and the damp but sharp smell of nuclear waste hit his nose.

But Erian was already used to it after so many years. He did really felt stifled within the cave but didn't really feel it until now he was outside, breathing in fresh air.

Also, the nuclear energy in this place seem higher than usual. Erian pursed his lips and related it with the side effect of using the art.

Quickly he grabbed his backpack and then headed for the inner parts of the Waste station. His mind was calm, but he was only retraining his eagerness.

Erian's steps were quick but very light and cautious. When he crossed the safe zone, he was even more careful this time and in just a few minutes, he was almost a kilometer deep within The Nuclear Waste Station when he immediately slowed down.

He had spotted various large bugs on the way, but they contained little nuclear energy, so they weren't worth the effort.

He then halted .it was at this spot, he had discovered and fought an Iron Skin Dwarve Rattus. There was no doubt in Erian's mind that there might be more of those beasts around the area.

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, a rustling sound echoed from behind a pile of syringes.

Erian's body stiffened slightly and he crouched down, making himself as inconspicuous as possible.

Not a minute later, the moon reflected the shadow of a figure that was almost a meter tall, sniffing through the air as though it had sensed something.

[Name: Iron-skin Dwarve Rattus]

[Level: Seven]

[Quality: Normal]

[nuclear Energy: 1020 points]

[Effect: Teeth contain toxic radiation. If meat is well prepared, can increase one's health if eaten over a long period of time.]

[Extractable: Tough teeth which can be polished into a weapon.]

[Too weak to form Extractable DNA particles ]

[Absorbable]

Erian sighed in relief. He didn't want to face a tough one at the start. The moment he let out a breath of air, the sniffing rat came to a halt and abruptly turned toward Erian's direction.

Erian froze where he was hiding. 'Did it actually sniff me out?'

p In the next moment, a sharp squeak tore through the air and the beast turned into a streak of shadow, swiftly shooting towards Erian's direction.

'I've been found.' Erian was startled, but then immediately snorted. If it was before, he might have been afraid but now that he had reached level four of the Eternal Physique Optimization Art, he wasn't scared at all.

"Hmph! You really want to die so quickly." Not bothering about staying hidden anymore, Erian got into a fighting stance. His fist clenched hard and his muscles tightened.

Waves of cool-heat energy streamed throughout his body from the core as intense strength rippled through his entire body. As the power reached its peak, Erian abruptly punched out.

"Dong!"

The sound of two heavy metals colliding resounded explosively, making the air undulate rapidly in a grey circular wave.

The beast stumbled and skidded three meters back from the explosive force.

Erian's body trembled, but he didn't retreat in the slightest. The force flowed from his fist to his feet. The ground gave a solid thud and with a blast, shards of metal and glass were crushed into tiny pieces, blasting apart in all directions

Erian was slightly taken aback. Was the beast weak or was it that he had grown really strong?

Apart from the dull pain he was feeling in his fist, he was alright. Immediately Erian grinned widely, he was really growing stronger.

"Hehe, come let me test my strength on you." Without waiting for the beast to recover, Erian stomped his feet heavily to the ground, crushing a few other rusted metals to the ground, his speed impeccable, arriving before the Huge rat in the blink of an eye.

Furious, the beast opened its enormous mouth and immediately snapped its sharp teeth towards Erian, releasing a dull crackle in the air.

Letting out a cold snort, his figure flashed and he appeared right above the beast, he heavily punched its snort downwards.

Its metallic skull let out a soft crack along with a massive bang. The pressure causes its entire body to collapse flat on the ground.

Instantly, an angry squeak escaped its lips, its eyes reddening in fury.

Screeee!

"Shut up!"

"Bang!"

Screeee-

"You make too much noise!"

"Bang!"
