CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 46 NO FEMALE HAS EVER GAINED STRENGTH THROUGH CULTIVATION_1

Xi Qing immediately stepped forward. He was already a Grey Crystal Beastman; although he couldn’t compare to Lang Xin’s Green Crystal Beastmen, he was determined to protect his mother and his brothers, unwilling to let them be bullied.

Bei Ji also took a step forward. Even though he had not yet condensed a Beast Crystal, he couldn’t hide.

Over a dozen males from the Wolf Clan and Bear Clan bared their sharp claws and teeth at them.

A skinny, small female; a dying cub; one Grey Crystal; and one cub with nothing. This family of four truly looked like the epitome of the weak, sick, and helpless!

Did they really need over a dozen males for this? A single one could finish them off. Lang Xin had so many males attack at once purely for the sadistic pleasure of utterly crushing them.

"Protect your elder brother," Si Yan said again. Then, like an arrow released from a bow, she charged towards the dozen males.

Lang Xin had many males, but the snake scale in Si Yan’s hand was a weapon tens, even hundreds, of times sharper than her own knife blade—far beyond what their claws could ever compare to!

Soon, Si Yan approached the first Wolf Clan male. The male disdainfully swiped a claw at her.

However, Si Yan neither dodged nor evaded, using the snake scale to block directly.

The evenly matched block they’d anticipated didn’t happen, nor did the imagined scene of the male tearing Si Yan apart with a single swipe. Lang Xin’s expression, in that instant, shifted from anticipation to shock. Si Yan merely held up the scale, and the male’s strong, sharp claws, upon striking it, were severed as cleanly as if slicing through a head of cabbage.

How could a mere female be so powerful?

Lang Xin and her males were all shocked. Lang Xin frantically shouted, "Kill her! Kill her for me!"

Over a dozen males pounced on Si Yan from all directions.

"Mother!" Bei Ji shouted anxiously.

Xi Qing pulled Bei Ji back, exclaiming, "Bei Ji, your forehead!"

On the center of Bei Ji’s forehead, a small piece of grey crystal was quietly gathering.

"Am I advancing?" Bei Ji had no time to care about himself. "But Mother..."

"You move back," Xi Qing ordered.

It was true: serpent Beastmen were naturally devoted to their mothers. Once their matriarch began to treat them well, their advancement was remarkably swift.

"Mother, then I’ll go!"

As he spoke, Xi Qing transformed into a long, green snake, the Grey Crystal on his forehead shining brightly. She Ying approached like lightning, but two adult Green Crystal males blocked his path. "Little guy, we’ll play with you for a bit."

Bei Ji, anxiously guarding Dongchi, didn’t notice that behind him, Dongchi—lying on the ground after the antibiotic injection—also had faint green lights slowly coalescing on the center of his forehead.

Under attack from all sides, Si Yan slightly lowered her center of gravity. Recalling the early morning training sessions with her grandfather from her youth, her body began to move in rhythm.

"Tai Chi!"

Her body moved in a supple circle. She wasn’t using any fist techniques; instead, holding the snake scale, she integrated its movements with the Tai Chi she had practiced with her grandfather in her youth.

WHOOSH!

With a single rotation, she had wounded all the towering males.

This time, the males were completely astounded. They had never seen such a powerful female! Males relied on cultivation for strength, while females relied on forming bonds with males. Hadn’t this been an ironclad rule for countless years?! No female had ever been able to gain strength through cultivation! Yet this female, one without a Beast Crystal, was actually able to injure them!

Si Yan hummed softly, her stance steady, a smile playing on her lips. "Think you’re tough just because you have a Beast Crystal? These are Earth moves. If you’ve got the guts, come at me again!"

A group of males charged at her once more.

Bei Ji’s heart quivered as he muttered softly, "Elder brother, you have to get better, you have to get better..."

Si Yan quickly retreated, luring the group of males away from her cubs. She glanced sideways at Lang Xin.

Lang Xin immediately shrieked, "Si Yan, you must die! You will definitely die today!"

Si Yan’s eyes turned cold. She flung a silver light toward Lang Xin. Before the males could comprehend what was happening, the syringe Si Yan had just used on Dongchi plunged straight into Lang Xin’s head.

Lang Xin let out a piercing scream, so loud it startled the few birds remaining in the vicinity into flight. "What is this?! What is this?!!!"

Si Yan tilted her head slightly, frowning. "It’s a bit off."

It was just a bit off. A little more accuracy, and it might have hit an acupuncture point.

"Si Yan!!! You vile, ugly female! Kill her! Kill her now!!!" Lang Xin, clueless as to what was embedded in her forehead, didn’t dare try to pull it out.

Si Yan continued her retreat, waving her hands. Despite her small frame, she was incredibly agile, and the tall males seemed somewhat helpless against her. She kept an eye on Lang Xin, who was frantic. However, next to Lang Xin stood a male who hadn’t moved an inch this entire time.

Si Yan narrowed her eyes. She keenly sensed that the male beside Lang Xin was the most formidable one. These dozen or so males were attackers sent to take my life, while the most formidable one stayed by Lang Xin’s side to protect her. After all, the female was the core unit of a family. If the female was harmed, the family would completely disintegrate, and the males would all suffer devastating blows.

Beside Lang Xin, the tall and formidable male, Lang You, watched Si Yan agilely kite the dozen or so males, subtly inflicting losses on them. His interest was undeniably piqued.

"Mistress," he said, his eyes glinting with excitement.

"Lang You, go kill her! Hurry up and kill her! If you kill Si Yan, I promise I’ll bear your next litter!!!"

The Scorching Sun period had arrived; it was uncertain who would even survive. Bearing cubs... Lang You’s eyes held a trace of disdain. He had little desire for cubs. However, at this moment, Si Yan had piqued his interest; he quite fancied killing her!

"Alright, I’ll go kill Si Yan." Lang You glanced at her, his lips curling into a meaningful, lecherous smile. "Remember your promise. Wait for me under the moonlight tonight."

Lang Xin’s face flushed. Lang You was indeed her favorite and wildest male. She tossed her head, the syringe on her forehead swaying slightly, a comical sight. "Fine. Tonight, I am yours alone."

Lang You stepped forward and suddenly accelerated, swinging a claw toward Si Yan.

Just then, Si Yan noticed the Beast Crystal materializing on his forehead—

Red!!!

A Red Crystal Beastman! So, in the Yanxiang Tribe, besides Tai Seng, there was another Red Crystal Beastman who had always concealed his strength!

Not good, he’s too fast!

As a warrior from Earth’s apocalypse, Si Yan hadn’t been weak on her home world. However, the martial power in this Beast World was several tiers higher than Earth’s baseline.
