Counterattack System appeared when I m already At The Mahayana Realm

Chapter 616: Chapter 615 Random Survey

Pant—pant—

In the depths of the dense forest, a raggedly dressed man was running for his life as if a man-eating demon was pursuing him.

“Captain! Captain! If you hear me, respond!”

“Zhou Lan! Xiao Meng! Xiao Jie! Where are you now?”

He Chong murmured urgently into the walkie-talkie, hoping to hear a familiar voice. Unfortunately, all he could hear from the device was the crackle of static.

“Damn it, could they all be…”

He Chong dared not to pursue the thought any further. Venturing deep into the forest to inspect the condition of the rampant beasts could be considered a suicide mission. If not for being penniless, who would willingly undertake such tasks?

Thousands of years ago, the beasts went berserk, their powers surging unexpectedly, violating the ceasefire agreement and launching relentless attacks on the humans. Caught unprepared, the human race suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, our resilience prevented the beasts from annihilating us completely.

The human race urgently reduced its activity range, pooling its strength to protect its homeland.

The focus of human cultivation shifted; it was no longer about longevity and sight, but to combat the rampant beasts, referred to as Wild Beasts.

After a hundred years of research, it was discovered that the Wild Beasts had tough skins and strong bodies. Their long-distance combat ability was inferior to close-quarter fighting.

But the humans were not physically strong; how could they fight against Wild Beasts?

Continued research revealed the potential for the human body to be immensely strengthened at the cost of drastically reduced lifespan.

Those at the Qi Cultivation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage lived up to seventy years.

Those at the Golden Core Stage lived till a hundred years.

Those at the Nascent Soul Stage lived up to a hundred and thirty years.

Those at the Divinity Transformation Stage lived until a hundred and seventy years.

To cultivate or not?

Cultivate!

Not to cultivate was to embrace death.

After a thousand years of development, the human race had thoroughly transformed into physique cultivators with powerful bodies.

During this period, technology also advanced, and the world became modern. Humans needed to go through elementary school, middle school and high school, pass the college entrance exam, and enter a physical cultivation university to become physique cultivators.

He Chong scored poorly on his college entrance exam and ended up in the least prestigious physical cultivation college. Upon graduation, he did not have much skill and could not reach the physique level required for most jobs. His parents were seriously ill and needed a lot of money. In desperation, he joined a team to explore the dense forest and investigate the recent activities of the Wild Beasts.

The five-member team was attacked by Wild Beasts after entering the forest, leaving the captain and three teammates’ fate uncertain – they were most likely dead.

The cause of death was likely the relentless pursuit of a Type 3 Wild Beast.

As the team’s scout, He Chong ran the fastest, allowing him to live a few minutes longer than the others when the team scattered.

But that was it.

He Chong abruptly halted, torrents of cold sweat pouring down his body. A type 3 Wild Beast leapt off a tree, its eyes fixed menacingly on him.

The Type 3 Wild Beast was a full three meters long, its glossy black fur resembling a wolf, save for its extraordinarily developed forelimbs.

With a sudden burst of strength, the Type 3 Wild Beast pounced, knocking He Chong to the ground and tearing off both his arms.

The beast opened its massive bloody mouth, He Chong’s eyes widened in horror. Between the gaps of the Wild Beast’s teeth, he could see the captain’s necklace. The lid of the necklace had opened, revealing a photo of the captain’s family of three.

He Chong remembered the Captain saying his child had to go to school, but they couldn’t afford it, so he had to try his luck in the wilderness.

He Chong felt some regret, regretting he hadn’t studied harder in the past, and for settling for mediocrity, which led to his failure to get into a good university and his current predicament.

Perhaps if he had studied diligently back then, there could have been a different outcome.

He Chong broke out into a loud cry, tears flowing, snot dripping from his nose, but the Wild Beast didn’t show any hint of mercy.

All it wanted was to eat one.

Just when He Chong was about to lose all hope, a flash of white light darted across, and several figures appeared nearby.

“How dare this beast harm people!”

The man at the forefront waved his hand, sending the Three Forms Wild Demon flying.

“Are you alright?” He helped up He Chong, finding him severely injured with blood still flowing.

He took out a Hemostasis Pill and a Bone Mending Pill, gave them to He Chong, and helped attach his arm back.

He Chong gasped for air and quickly knelt down, bowing at the man in the lead.

“Thank you, sir, for saving me. Please, my friends are nearby, please save them too.”

The leader helped He Chong up, “We of Jiuzhou don’t practice such customs, stand up. If someone is in danger, of course I would help.”

The leader let out his Divine Sense to investigate the surroundings, then shook his head regretfully: “My Divine Sense covers a radius of ten miles, you are the only living person.”

“How could…” He Chong went into a daze.

“We come from the world of Jiuzhou, can you tell me what happened here?” The leader chanted a soothing mantra to calm He Chong’s emotions.

“Jiuzhou world?”

“Yes, I am a deacon of the Spirit Plant Sect of Jiuzhou. My surname is Fang. Behind me are the disciples of the Spirit Plant Sect. As for these two, one is called Dong Li, and the other is Bai Heitu. They can also be seen as disciples of the Spirit Plant Sect.”

The deacon of the Spirit Plant Sect remembered how the Sect Master had stuffed these two strangers into the team before they set off, saying that they had some background, but didn’t need any special treatment, and should be treated like sect disciples.

“Probably two people with connections.” The deacon of the Spirit Plant Sect thought.

He Chong gradually regained his clarity and finally noticed that the other person had not opened his mouth.

The deacon of the Spirit Plant Sect explained with a smile, “We just arrived in your world, and there’s a language barrier, so we have to communicate with you using Divine Sense. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Now you tell me, what’s the first thing you should do in an alien world according to the ‘Manual of Exploration for the Ten Thousand Realms’?” Deacon Fang reviewed their learning situation before they set off.

Before setting off, every cultivator went through at least thirty-six hours of study and had to pass the Confucian examination. Those who failed the exam were prohibited from going to alien worlds for three months.

“Deacon Fang, it is to understand the world’s history as much as possible, striving for a multi-dimensional understanding to ensure authenticity,” one of the Spirit Plant Sect disciples said.

“Yes, He Chong, right? We just arrived and don’t know much about your world. Could you tell us about the history of your world?”

He Chong briefly explained the world’s history.

“May I ask a few questions?”

“Please tell.” He Chong was flattered. In his eyes, Deacon Fang was a powerful and inscrutable master. Such courtesy from him was something he was not used to.

“What’s the highest level of cultivator that has ever appeared in your world?”

“Legend has it that a cultivator of the Body Integration Realm once appeared, but that was two thousand years ago. After he died, there were no mentions of anyone attaining the Body Integration Realm,” He Chong answered honestly.

“What’s the top fighting strength of the human side and the Wild Demon?”

“Both only have cultivators of the Divinity Transformation Stage. The difference lies in the fact that the number of Divinity Transformation Stage Wild Demons is far greater than ours.”

“Does the Divinity Transformation Stage Wild Demon have spiritual intelligence and can it speak human language?” Deacon Fang continued to ask.

“It’s said that Divinity Transformation Stage Demonic Beasts could do it before they went berserk. After going berserk, the Divinity Transformation Stage Demonic Beasts lose their spiritual intelligence.”

Deacon Fang turned his head to ask the disciples, “What do you think?”

“The berserk Demonic Beasts are the doing of the Heavenly Demons from outside the domain.”

“And you?”

“I also think the Demonic Beasts went berserk because of the Heavenly Demons from outside the domain, this accords with their requirement for slow death.”

Deacon Fang shook his head, “You two are jumping to conclusions too quickly. This He Chong is but a regular person with poor academic results, his historical foundation is not solid, and what he learned is all officially public history. How can you come to a conclusion just by listening to his side of the story?”

“What’s the first rule of the ‘Manual of Exploration for the Ten Thousand Realms’? It’s to strive for a multi-dimensional understanding of world history.”

“You have only recited it, but haven’t truly understood its meaning.”

“Disciples will keep this in mind.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu slightly nodded, this Deacon Fang was doing well.

They randomly picked teams to see if there were any improper conduct in exploring alien worlds. If it was a widespread problem, they would need to revise the pre-departure courses.
