Dong! Dong! Dong!

Le Yu showed no mercy, punching "Qin Leyin" into the ground again and again. Then he plopped right down on top, his two-hundred-kilo frame crashing down like a tank. "Qin Leyin" felt like the Monkey King squashed under the Five Finger Mountain—beef brisket and Zhajiang noodles from dinner that hadn't even digested yet came spewing right out.

Then, Le Yu casually picked up a rock and chucked it from a distance, knocking away Ning Xinyuan's Overlord Butterfly spear just as she reached for it.

"Overlord Butterfly… my Overlord Butterfly…" Ning Xinyuan tried crawling over to grab it, but the slightest movement made her whole body ache; she could barely breathe, coughing up blood as she gazed in despair at "Qin Leyin" pinned underneath Le Yu.

Just now, Wu Zhiqi's stomp shattered her ribs—she was already bleeding out internally, and it was pure luck that her lungs hadn't been punctured. Any ordinary martial artist would've lost the ability to fight with injuries like this, let alone a pampered spear user. But maybe Ning Xinyuan was so shocked by seeing him take a fatal blow from Wu Zhiqi only to keep advancing that she managed to grit her teeth, pick up her weapon, and push through the pain—kind of like how an author with a monthly word count of 120k gets inspired to write a few more lines whenever they see a tentacle writer cranking out 800k a month.

Admirable as the spirit was, this account belonged to Le Yu now. When you sit on the throne, your ass decides your head, and there was no way Le Yu would let Ning Xinyuan get her moment.

After disabling these two's fighting abilities, Le Yu finally opened up the system he hadn't checked for two hundred chapters,

Advanced Water Moon Battle Technique…

Le Yu carefully savored the memories in his mind. He tapped the air lightly. The world plunged into thick darkness, and every light source gathered at his fingertip.

"Domain, stealing the sun and moon, blotting out the sky, turning the world upside down… classic traits of the Peak of Perfection."

"Even though Le Yu had thought about scenarios like this, actually running into a 'Martial Pillar descends upon me' plotline made him feel like he'd just hit the lottery. He really did just waltz right into the ranks of the world's strongest."

"Near-supernatural personal strength, worshipped by thousands, a body honed to perfection. Unless it was a group ambush by martial artists of the same level or a hundred-man Bullet Storm formation, someone at the Peak of Perfection almost never died from accidents. Building collapses, landslides, tsunamis, earthquakes—whatever disaster, they nearly always had a way out."

"And now, power itself had become a bargaining chip. Whether dealing with the Imperial Court, negotiating with armies, or talking to any major force in this world, no one could ignore pure power that could wipe out an army by itself."

"Why did the Imperial Court always give in to Cha Huan? Sure, his disciples were everywhere, but more importantly, the court couldn't take him down easily. With his character, Cha Huan wouldn't care about politics—if the court tried to surround and kill him, he'd take a few Martial Pillars drinking with him in the underworld, let the flood come after, whatever."

"If the times are a torrent, the Peak of Perfection is the rock in the stream. The rock can't stop the flow, but the times have to part around the stone."

"And strength is addictive—when you become stronger, confidence grows like crazy. Le Yu relished the feeling, comparing this new account with the previous one; Wu Zhiqi's maxed-out account was like logging into Wind Spirit Moon Shadow: infinite HP, infinite spirit, invincible…"

"The power was intoxicating—Le Yu almost lost himself in it, nearly forgetting this account's real race. He was like someone considering the classic forum topic: 'If you could reach the Peak of Perfection but never be human again, would you do it?'"

"Le Yu: 'I would. I'm not human anymore—it feels awesome. My kids love it.'"

Pa!

The ground suddenly shook. Le Yu looked up and saw another gray-robed barbarian climbing out of the pit. He seemed younger than Wu Zhiqi, but he hefted two stone coffins with no effort at all. He glanced at Le Yu, then at "Qin Leyin" pinned below, and said tensely, "Is he dead?"

Le Yu snapped back to reality and shook his head, "Not yet."

"Hurry up and save him!" The gray-robed barbarian put down the coffins. "I told you, old Wu—why did you take so long? It's the last day, can't you just keep your temper in check and finish the work? What if something goes wrong? You'll be betting your life against Behemoth himself! If you won't save him, I will! He's dying!"

He yanked off his hood, revealing a face covered in fluffy, pink-gold monkey hair. He had a giant spear strapped to his back and clearly looked worried—he rushed over to push Le Yu aside and help "Qin Leyin."

Shi Pantu…

The name flashed in Le Yu's mind—his face changed instantly. He hunched over, gagged and retched, wracked with a splitting headache, almost losing his mind,

Summer Twilight District… the wilds beyond the border… tribe stronghold… "Demon Blood Mutation" project…

Smile… Harleman… Shi Pantu…

Steamed monkey brain… monkey brain tofu… spicy monkey brain…

Humans, Demon Race, Elf Race, Titans, Naga… kill! Kill! Wipe out humanity!

Countless memories, countless emotions rampaged violently through Le Yu's mind, churning his brain into mush. Wu Zhiqi's past, an avalanche, a tsunami, crashed down—swallowing him whole!

The pink-gold monkey demon jumped in fright, "Old Wu, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't fucking bother Grandpa!" Le Yu roared, drool sliding down the corner of his mouth as he bared his teeth in a frenzied, animalistic howl at the night sky!

"Who am I? Qian Yuliu, Hidden Voice Shadow, Zhengwei Jing, Qin Leyin, Wu Zhiqi… I am Wu Zhiqi, Wu Zhiqi is me! I am Wu Zhiqi, the Battle Ape, the sky-shrouder, the sea-splitter! I am the tribe's second warrior, top monkey demon, humanity's destroyer! I am the ever-cowering Wu Zhiqi, the butcher of my own kind, the seeking-redemption Wu Zhiqi!"

"I am… I am…"

"I am Le Yu!"

Clarity flashed through his brain for just a moment—Le Yu lunged for it like a drowning man grabbing a life preserver and instantly opened the system, activating "Ice Blood Physique!"

As a chill swept through his limbs and bones, the splitting headache vanished on the spot. He gasped for air, sweat pouring from the hairy face—like he'd just gone ten rounds with death itself.

"Honestly, that was exactly what had just happened: If he hadn't activated 'Ice Blood Physique' in time, it wouldn't have been him hijacking Wu Zhiqi's account, but Wu Zhiqi blowing his up."

"He'd always had a faint sense this risk was there, but he hadn't expected the process to be this dangerous."

"Just substituting for one Peak of Perfection Demon Race almost cost him his sense of self."

"And the funny thing was, he'd even considered substituting for Cha Huan before."

"If that ever happened, there's no way it'd be Le Yu piloting Cha Huan's body—it'd be the other way around, with the new driver getting overwritten and turned into a whole new 'Cha Huan'!"
