NOVEL WEB Chapter 251: Already Great
The leading captain gripped his lantern tightly, as drop after drop of cold sweat flowed down the palm of his hand.
Although it was said to be a human, behind that blurred human figure, one after another thick tentacle danced menacingly—
Its huge physique, the surging dark smoke billowed from the figure's body, then entwined around the tentacles, condensing into a layer of terrifying spiral power.
It was Qi Power! Strong and vigorous Qi Power was attached to the tentacles!
However, even though they were using the techniques of the Transcendents, nobody felt a hint of safety; instead, their bodies shook even more violently.
Just from appearances, the monster's aura even seemed stronger than the massive Shadow Mountain.

Huu huu huu huu—
Wild winds swept across the sea.
"Roar!"
The Shadow Mountain Beast roared, opening its dark, fang-filled monstrous mouth! A massive amount of dark energy was drawn from around its body, converging into a single point within its mouth—
Shadow Beast Cannon!
Once released, it could create a terrifying torrent over a hundred meters long!
"It's the Shadow Beast Cannon! Everyone, quick, use defensive martial techniques!"
The leading captain commanded as he watched the spectacle, continuously retreating.
Many Hunters liked watching battles between strong opponents, but clearly, this fight was not one they could afford to spectate.
"Roar!"
Just as the Shadow Mountain Beast was about to release its mighty cannon—
In an instant, the dark mist fiercely condensed, becoming even more profound and powerful, ten thick tentacles entwined with Qi Power, like a number of sturdy dark drills!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The tentacles smashed down furiously, dense as a sudden downpour! No, considering the terrifying size of the tentacles, it was more like a meteor shower!
The Shadow Beast Cannon that had been gathering in the Shadow Mountain Beast's mouth was forcefully shoved into its stomach, the immensely tough night scales shattered, revealing several cracks!
Boom!!
Finally, eight tentacles entwined together, condensing into a gigantic fist, and smashed down ferociously.
Boom!
Pure power!
The Shadow Mountain Beast was slammed into the sea, causing a huge wave that covered the Hunters, pushing them back several steps—
Seconds later, everyone reignited their lanterns and hurriedly observed the situation on the sea's surface, only to see that the mountain-like body of the Shadow Mountain Beast had shattered into piece after piece, becoming cold chunks of shadow flesh—
The leading captain couldn't help but ask:
"Who exactly is that? Did another monster escape from the research institute? Do we have such powerful Transcendents on Sea God Island?"
"I don't know! And just a few seconds have passed, where did that guy go!"
Everyone frantically searched for traces of the humanoid monster.
Yet at the next moment, as the waves swept their trouser legs, the fifty people there all sensed it, the chill breath from behind—
The monster was behind them—the leading captain trembled all over as his neck experienced an odd sensation.
Cold, soft as cotton—
A tentacle, entwining around his neck.
The leading captain was astonished.
And from behind him, a whispered voice came.
"Give me a vial of tranquilizer—"
The voice behind him said coldly.
Everyone involuntarily gasped, each of them could feel the tentacles lightly brushing the ground, yet no one dared to look back, not even daring to turn their head in that direction.
Tranquilizer? The leading captain didn't dare to disobey, taking out two syringes filled with a strong dose of shocking Potion from his backpack card, and then tremblingly handed them over.
Thump—
Chen Qi took the two vials of tranquilizer, lifted his head, placed them in his mouth, and squeezed them to shatter—
Gulp! Gulp!
The blue Potion flowed down his tongue into Chen Qi's throat.
As the effect of the tranquilizer took hold—Chen Qi's breathing gradually calmed down, he once more scanned the prompts before his eyes.
[You have defeated the Shadow Mountain Beast, gaining 6000 inspiration points.]
The Residual Fire Touch, upgraded, proved stronger than I had imagined, and its consumption of spiritual power was also more substantial than I had expected—
Chen Qi adjusted his Spiritual Power, the ten enormous tentacles behind him slowly calming down.
It was only after a real fight that Chen Qi truly felt the strength of the Residual Fire Touch and Shadow Weaving.
It wasn't just an increase in thickness and size.
First of all, there was a significant increase in power, with each tentacle being soft yet extremely tough.
Each tentacle could be considered an extension of half a hand, all benefitting from Chen Qi's power bonuses—
Each punch from the tentacles was comparable to a heavy blow from a Third Rank Blade Phase Transcendent!
Second, was the transmission of Spiritual Power, combined with the Residual Fire's touch, along with the Weaver's silk, the tentacles could fully utilize Qi Power and even apply corresponding Qi Power techniques.
With the simplest Qi Power Transformation and Steel Qi, Chen Qi could directly use Steel Qi to wrap the tentacles, greatly enhancing the power of the tentacles' heavy punches—
Just the sheer force and discharge of Qi Power were enough to break through the Shadow Mountain Beast's defense, surpassing that of steel!
And this was under the situation where his constitution and strength weren't fully utilized.
However, the drawbacks were also quite evident.
Firstly, there was the significant consumption of stamina and Spiritual Power.
After a night's battle, even after Chen Qi had consumed several vials of the Flower Witch's special Spiritual Power Potion and vitality Potion, just over a minute of fighting left him feeling a profound drain on his physical strength—
Secondly, was the excessive production of rage.
Originally, Meat Cutting Bone Breaking and Residual Fire Touch were two mutually complementary specialized weapons, with the rage produced by Residual Fire Touch being perfectly absorbed by Meat Cutting Bone Breaking.
However, things had changed. The startling Evolution of Residual Fire Touch meant that the rage it produced could no longer be contained by Meat Cutting Bone Breaking. Facing the colossal amount of rage, Meat Cutting Bone Breaking couldn't absorb it—
