In front of him lay three ferocious beasts, each severely injured and weakly lying on the ground. Copious amounts of blood gushed from their bodies, filling the surrounding area with numerous irregular pits and various fragments.
Not far from the three beasts, a faintly glowing inner core was lodged in a not-so-large pit, with its upper half exposed.
Despite their injuries, the three beasts did not take their gazes off each other. They stared fiercely, ready to fight again as soon as their strength was restored.
The Golden-back Tiger, two zhang in length with copper skin and iron bones, boasted incredible defense and attack power.
The King Kong Gorilla, also two zhang tall, had muscles like fine jade, possessing immense strength.
The Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant, not only had copper skin and iron bones and immense strength but also had astonishing speed.
Overall, the strengths of the three ferocious beasts were evenly matched.
After a fierce battle, one of the Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant's golden tusks was missing a piece, the Golden-back Tiger was covered in deep wounds visible to the bone, and one of its ears was brutally torn. The King Kong Gorilla had a huge wound on its chest, looking like it was about to die.
Their combat effectiveness had significantly decreased after the battle.
After observing the scene, a cold smile appeared on Xing Peng's face again.
"This really is what I was hoping for!"
Seeing the diminished combat strength of the three beasts, Xing Peng no longer feared them. Had they been in their prime, Xing Peng would have found them challenging. But now, their reduced strength made them as easy to deal with as meat on a chopping board.
Almost instantly upon seeing this, he darted towards the distant inner core and grabbed it in his hand.
"Roar!" Just as Xing Peng grabbed the inner core, the Golden-back Tiger and King Kong Gorilla, among other beasts, immediately noticed and turned their gaze towards Xing Peng. Seeing this 'little ant' holding the spoils they were fighting over, they let out angry roars filled with threats and bloodlust. With a burst of energy, they leaped from the ground and attacked Xing Peng.

"Three idiots! With your current state, do you think you can match me?" Holding the inner core, Xing Peng squinted slightly and smirked coldly at the Golden-back Tiger and other beasts. With a slight movement of his 'Wind Shadow Steps', he vanished from their sight.
"Boom!" Although the beasts lost their target, their attacks were too swift to retract and viciously landed where Xing Peng had been, creating another pit.
However, they quickly located Xing Peng's new position and attacked again.
"Ever seen a Spanish bullfight?"
Xing Peng's situation with these mountain beasts was just like a Spanish bullfight. As the beasts attacked, he disappeared from their sight and reappeared on their left, shaking the inner core in his hand.
Fury!
Unbridled anger!
Extremely furious!
Seeing their attacks miss Xing Peng, this tiny ant, time and again, fully ignited their rage. They let out earth-shattering roars, gasping heavily as they watched Xing Peng, then attacked him again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a series of attacks and dodges, Xing Peng, much faster than the ferocious beasts, made them spin in circles. Although he didn't attack them while dodging, the already injured beasts expended much energy in their repeated assault attempts, worsening their injuries.
As the saying goes, if I can't kill you, I'll wear you down with my superior speed or defense!
Though Xing Peng didn't have the formidable defense of the beasts, his superior speed completely dominated them. Their attacks, no matter how fierce, were futile against him.
In a short time, the surrounding area for tens of meters was soaked in blood, turning it into a scene akin to a slaughterhouse.
Having dodged the attacks of the Golden-back Tiger and others, Xing Peng's mood, previously soured by being cornered by these beasts, significantly improved.
Moments ago, these beasts saw him as nothing but easy prey. Now, he regarded the Golden-back Tiger and others as mere ants under his feet.
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!
It didn't take thirty years for Xing Peng to turn the situation around.
"Hahaha... Weren't you very arrogant just now? Didn't you want to eat me? Come on, if you dare, come eat me. I'll be waiting right here!" Xing Peng laughed mockingly at the exhausted Silver Wing Golden Tusk Elephant and other beasts.
Being youthful at heart, Xing Peng was not entirely pleased with his transmigration and felt frustrated. Although he later realized he possessed the Shadow God Vein body, which promised a return to power in this world, he still harbored regrets. His nerves had been on edge these days, putting significant pressure on him. Ordinary killings couldn't alleviate the frustration building within him, especially after being scorned by these Earth Level beasts recently, which irked Xing Peng immensely.
Now, seeing the beasts that attacked him with disdain become trapped animals gave him a sense of triumph, venting his frustration. This relief improved Xing Peng's spirits greatly, making the world seem wonderful. This change in mindset also increased his Profound Qi slightly, leaving Xing Peng deeply moved.
"In this life, I will not hide my power excessively. I will live a splendid life." With this mindset, Xing Peng set a goal for himself.
This might seem like an inconsequential declaration from a minor character, but unknown to anyone, this very decision by Xing Peng here would make his future life incredibly brilliant and enviable, admired and envied by countless warriors.
