  Meng Chao picked up the first monster carcass and placed it on the dissection table.

  It belonged to an Iron Armored Rhinoceros. It was rather large and heavy, like a mini armored truck.

  Its brain had burst open, its tendons were torn, and its ribs broken. Many of its limbs were destroyed as well.

  But Meng Chao gently completed the examination. The almost torn limbs did not further twist apart, and the things in the wounds did not fall out. In fact, not even have a single drop of blood fall out.

  This stability alone was enough to make the monster controller course freshmen gasp in amazement.

  The Iron Armored Rhinoceros was similar to the Demonic Halberd Pig. After the Earthlings transmigrated to the Other World, they were both one of the earliest monsters they faced.

  These two monsters were filled with treasures. Not only were they sources of high-grade protein, they could also be used as a labor force in place of machines. Hence, the citizens had tamed them a long time ago.

  Up till then, more than one hundred ways to tame these two monsters, along with ways to modify their genes, were researched. There were also a lot of man-made subspecies.

  They were very popular biochemical monsters among new monster controllers as well, because they were beginner-level monsters.

  The Iron Armored Rhinoceroses in front of Meng Chao did not just have sturdy bone armor. It also had three sharp skewers on its head. On its shoulder blades were two bumpy osteomas. Even though the creature was just a normal monster, it had the power of a superbeast.

  But its head was messed up as if it had experienced an implosion. The area from the top of the head to the eye socket was a mess.

  Anyone could tell that it was the fatal injury.

  But they still needed to carefully dissect and investigate how the opponent’s attack had reduced the Iron Armored Rhinoceros’ head to this state.

  Meng Chao remained calm as he faced the intense gazes. He was not in a hurry to use his scalpel. Instead, he drew closer to the wound, sniffed it, and put a thermometer inside to test the temperature in the cranium.

  Then, he asked Ning Xueshi spray condensation fog on it before he used a thin scalpel and harvesting pliers to remove the destroyed flesh layer by layer. He also brought out the broken bones.

  “Ah……”


  The monster controller freshmen sitting by the side cried out in surprise.

  No one but the controller of the Iron Armored Rhinoceros knew just how fragile the wound was.

  Due to the high pressure in the cranium, while they were on their way, a lot of brains had gushed out of the cranium.

  They thought that when Meng Chao cut into it, the entire head would explode.

  But Meng Chao tapped around the skull with his fingers to massage it at lightning speed while he dissected the carcass, which helped him dissolve most of the pressure in the cranium. Hundreds of broken bones were soon revealed. They revealed the clear hole in the cranium, along with the brains that looked like red tofu inside.

  “This is the mark of a fist.” Meng Chao looked at the hole in the Iron Armored Rhinoceros’ skull and said after some thought, “The wound imploded, which means that the opponent had first gathered his strength in one spot. They delivered gentle energy into the monster’s brain, which increased the pressure in the cranium to the max. Then, they forced it out through this spot. This is a very high grade Permeation Force. Among the compulsory courses in the martial arts course’ freshmen year, only the Hammer Heart is able to do this.

  “Hammer Heart is also known as Bone Piercing Needle. Just like the name implies, it can turn a person’s force into needles that strike the monster’s body. This is a killing move used to target Iron Armored Rhinoceros and other shell-type monsters with great defenses.

  “But a Hammer Heart alone couldn’t kill this Iron Armored Rhinoceros. After all, the skull is the toughest bone. Besides, this Iron Armored Rhinoceros’ genes were modified, and its skull has been thickened by half an inch.

  “It has been at least two hours since the end of the tournament, but the temperature in the Iron Armored Rhinoceros is still above thirty degrees Celsius. That’s not normal. This can only mean that the fatal attack it took contained very potent flame energy.

  “There aren’t many who can execute such a beautiful Hammer Heart among the martial arts course freshmen along with such a domineering flame energy. This Iron Armored Rhinoceros should have been killed by Duan Lian, one of the Four Great Kings.

  “I remember that he has Lion Frenzy, which is compatible with the secret technique of Hammer Heart. It can produce very powerful flames. Through the tremors and friction produced by the spirit energy magnetic field, he can increase the heat of something rapidly until it reaches hundreds or even more than one thousand degrees Celsius.”


  The monster controller course freshmen were stunned.

  They did not expect that even though Senior Meng was in the resource course, he would be able to produce such a well-reasoned argument. It was as if he had seen the fight.

  “Whose Iron Armored Rhinoceros is this?” Meng Chao looked at them nonchalantly.

  “I-it’s mine, Senior Meng.” A monster controller freshman stood out and gulped as he stared at Meng Chao nervously.

  “Based on the wound at the center of the head, Duan Lian must have attacked while he stood in front of you, right?” Meng Chao frowned a little. “Regardless of whether it’s Hammer Heart or Lion Frenzy, both of them require a lot of time to gather power. He also puts an overemphasis in power……

  “If he tried to fuse these two techniques together, the time needed to accumulate power would have become even longer. So, when he was attacking, what were you doing? Dumbly waiting for him to unleash his attack?”


  The monster controller freshman stuttered, “I-I…… At that time, I was thinking……”


  “You wanted to use a major move against a major move, so you sent a command to your Iron Armored Rhinoceros to activate Savage Charge, right?”


  Meng Chao observed the tendons in the Iron Armored Rhinoceros’ limbs, “There are tears in these tough tendons. Looks like the power of your attack was really great. You wanted to use one move to decide the victor and knock Duan Lian out of the cultivation center, right?”


  The monster controller freshman nodded quickly. “Yes, that’s it!”


  “But unfortunately, you’re new to this, and your mental synchronization with your biochemical beast isn’t above 90% yet. When you tried to execute Savage Charge, it took quite some time.”


  Meng Chao smiled coldly. “When you finally took control of the Iron Armored Rhinoceros and charged up your power, it began the charge, but Duan Lian had already finished accumulating power. His rampaging power was about to surge out of him.

  “You sensed its terrifying power and realized that the situation was bad for you, so you cancelled your biochemical beast’s charge to dodge in a panic. But in the end, you didn’t manage to knock into him nor dodge the attack. Instead, he killed your biochemical monster in one move, right?”


  The monster controller freshman’s mouth hung down. “Yes, that’s what happened,” he agreed in dejection after a while.

  Fang Lin and all the monster controller students stared at Meng Chao in disbelief.

  “If I were you, I wouldn’t have used Savage Charge.”


  Meng Chao ignored their gazes; he was completely immersed in the world of martial arts. Based on the information he managed to get from the carcass, he imagined the situation a few hours ago.

  In his mind, he saw two people fighting.

  And naturally, he chose a better strategy to handle the fight.

  “He went for a major move, and you did the same. Everyone is new to fighting, but he’s at least using his own strength. You, though, have to deliver orders and mobilize your biochemical beast’s strength. You’re separated by an invisible wall from your biochemical beast, so when you attack, you will never be as fast as him.

  “What you should have focused on is that Duan Lian isn’t that familiar with his attack either. If he was interrupted during the creation of his spirit energy magnetic field, he would have felt horrible. His spirit energy might have even gone out of control.

  “So, there was no need for you to use Savage Charge. You could have used a normal charge. It would have been enough to make him suffer. When his spirit energy went out of control, he would have revealed even more openings, and you could use your Savage Charge to come out victorious.”


  The monster controller freshman fell into deep thought.

  “Of course, there was no problem with choosing to fight against him with a major move of your own, but you should have persevered to the end,” Meng Chao said with a frown/ “If you had already activated Savage Charge, even if there was a sea of fire or an iron wall in front of you, you had to charge ahead without looking back. You had to tear down the obstacles in front like a cannonball and destroy everything. How could you cancel your move halfway through?”


  “But he was faster. Before my Iron Armored Rhinoceros could knock into him, he could have killed my beast!” the monster controller freshman said.

  “So what? Even if he killed the Iron Armored Rhinoceros in a single move, the carcass wouldn’t disappear into a plume of smoke. The rhinoceros’ body would still crash into him,” Meng Chao said. “Based on my analysis on the rips in the tendons, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros could have reached its maximum speed within another moment.

  “I weighed this creature just now. It weighs at least a few tons. If it charged at Duan Lian at more than one hundred kilometers per hour, he would suffer. Besides, you’re there too. Even though you’re a monster controller, it doesn’t mean that you can’t kill without your biochemical beast, right?

  “He would have to cool down after he released such a major move, and he would have been knocked off his feet by the Iron Armored Rhinoceros’ carcass. His tendons might have snapped or a few bones could have broken too. You could have charged forward at that time and bitten him to death!”


  The monster controller freshman was drenched in cold sweat. ‘This Senior Meng is too brutal,’ he thought.

  But when he really considered it, he felt that Senior Meng’s strategy was good. Regardless of whether he used a normal charge or whether he persevered with Savage Charge, he would have had the chance to win. It was because of his hesitation and excessive caution that he lost.

  When Meng Chao saw that the freshman was impressed by his words, he nodded and continued providing guidance. “I know that you share your senses with those of your biochemical beast when your minds are connected. In other words, you could sense your biochemical beast’s pain. In fact, your subconscious even treats your body as one and the same.

  “When your opponent attacks your biochemical beast, you feel like you’re taking a hit to your face. New fighters who don’t have enough experience often want to dodge on instinct.

  “But if you want to become a good monster controller, you must overcome that instinct and understand that you aren’t one with your biochemical beast. Even if your biochemical beast dies, as long as you complete your mission, it’s worth it.

  “In fact, when you’re in a real battlefield, even if your enemy isn’t charging at your biochemical beast but is charging at your vitals, when you can’t avoid it, even if you have to risk your life for it, you have to die with your enemy. Without this sort of mentality, you won’t be able to reach the top, regardless of whether you’re a martial artist, a monster controller, or are in some other fighting occupation!”


  The monster controller freshman looked as if he had been given a stern warning. He looked at the terrifying wound on his Iron Armored Rhinoceros’ skull and was stunned for a long time.

  Then, he released a long breath and bowed to Meng Chao. He said sincerely, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Meng. I’ve learned a lot!”


  Meng Chao received a notification. He got himself nine contribution points.

  It might only be a handful of points, but they were still points. He smiled in great satisfaction under his mask.
