Hearing Qian Wu’s voice, Chu Tianqiu couldn’t help but turn his head back. At almost the same moment, the several “Earth-level” in front of him suddenly attacked while he was distracted.

He realized he had just used the tactic of distracting the opponent, and in less than a minute, he himself had also been distracted.

Before the thought “I was careless” could even flash through his mind, a strong and powerful hand grabbed his clothes from behind and gently pulled him backward.

Chu Tianqiu only felt his feet instantly leave the ground as he flew straight backward as if hit by a car. Fortunately, this feeling lasted less than half a second before Zhang Shan caught Chu Tianqiu from mid-air.

The two looked toward the doorway. The tall and muscular Qiao Jiajin was already standing before several “Zodiacs,” but he was staring at his right hand with an expression of disbelief.

“Hey, tattooed kid,” Zhang Shan called from behind. “Damn, what are you looking at?”

“Holy shit…” Qiao Jiajin murmured. “What kind of strength is this…?”

Chu Tianqiu also felt that under this powerful brute force, his normal human body was like a toy in the hands of these two.

He had also swallowed a “Heaven’s Vigor” eyeball before. Although he could feel boundless strength, he ultimately wasn’t good at martial combat.

He wondered what effect this ability would have on Qiao Jiajin.

An Earth-Pig in front of Qiao Jiajin, seeing him distracted, extended his leg to kick at his knee.

Driven by muscle memory, Qiao Jiajin blocked downward with his left hand, intercepting the opponent’s knee. His other hand changed from a fist to a palm and suddenly pushed against the opponent’s chin.

This attack was different from all previous ones, because each one was accompanied by a slight sound of bones cracking.

“Shit… sorry about that.”

Before the apology even landed, the Earth-Pig had already fallen to the ground.

“Ah, really sorry…” Qiao Jiajin said embarrassedly. “The force was a bit too much—I’m not quite used to it yet…”

Watching Qiao Jiajin, and thinking about the Earth-Ox that Zhang Shan had dealt with earlier, Chu Tianqiu felt that with equal body strength, these two should be able to defeat all the “Zodiacs” on the “Train.”

Moreover, they weren’t actually at the “same body strength.” The “Zodiacs'” bodies had been enhanced but couldn’t self-heal, which meant the ability they possessed wasn’t “Heaven’s Vigor.”

But the opponents’ numbers were indeed substantial. Adding the Earth-Dog on the side, there were still four “Earth-level.” Qiao Jiajin had just obtained the power of “Heaven’s Vigor,” so Chu Tianqiu was slightly worried.

“Can he handle it alone?” he asked Zhang Shan quietly.

Zhang Shan nodded after hearing this. “One person is a bit much, isn’t it? If I’d known, we should have let him go as only half a person.”

“This…”

“Don’t worry,” Zhang Shan said. “When I have ‘Heaven’s Vigor,’ I never worry about losing. I only worry about when ‘Heaven’s Vigor’ will dissipate.”

The other “Earth-level” felt that Qiao Jiajin must have just been lucky. Perhaps he carried abilities like “Brute Force” that could severely injure “Earth-level,” but when facing many “Earth-level” at once, he should also be at a loss.

Thinking this, two of them simultaneously stepped forward and threw punches from tricky angles, one left and one right. After all, Qiao Jiajin was standing at the doorway with no space to dodge—the pincer-like attack would surely cause him severe damage.

Qiao Jiajin raised his head, only to feel that his body’s changes seemed to be more than just “strength.” In his eyes, even the fists the opponents were throwing at him had slowed down.

He simply lifted his hand lightly and blocked one of the fists from the side, then with a flick of his hand, this person’s fist immediately changed its trajectory in mid-air, flying toward the other person’s fist.

The two fists collided violently before Qiao Jiajin’s eyes. Although no sound of cracking bones was heard, both people clearly suffered severe pain and squatted down clutching their fists.

“Shit… does it still hurt that much?” Qiao Jiajin smiled embarrassedly. “I felt like I was already being very light…”

“You…” One of the “Zodiacs” slowly stood up clutching his fist, his eyes already extremely angry. “You ‘Participants’… are you toying with us?”

“I really wasn’t…” Qiao Jiajin shook his head. “We’re neither relatives nor friends—I really am afraid of hurting you all…”

In just two exchanges, the several “Zodiacs” before him had almost lost all their fighting spirit. They felt that this “Participant’s” actions were like teasing a child who couldn’t yet walk.

This didn’t make them feel they were being treated well—only that they were being humiliated.

Unwilling to accept this, several “Zodiacs” attempted a few more attacks, but all were effortlessly resolved by Qiao Jiajin.

“I’m truly laughing to death…” the Earth-Dog in the distance suddenly spoke up at this moment. “They won’t let me help, and they’re not fighting properly themselves. Just one ‘Participant’—I don’t understand what you’re all pretending at.”

The “Zodiacs'” fighting spirit, which was about to dissipate, was slowly pulled back by the Earth-Dog’s taunt.

The man before them was genuinely just a “Participant.” If “Participants” could unilaterally beat up “Zodiacs”… what was the point of them working so hard to become “Earth-level”?

Now the enemy had already attacked the “Train” and turned their small survival space upside down. In this situation, they couldn’t even surrender.

For all the “Zodiacs,” these people’s behavior before them was “invasion.”

“We can’t get entangled here…” the thin Earth-Tiger said, turning back to a “Human-level.” “Quickly go notify the ‘Heaven-level’…”

“Hey! Don’t!” Qiao Jiajin said. “Can’t we discuss this? I won’t touch you all, and you all don’t go notify troublesome people. Let’s just act like we never met.”

Qiao Jiajin’s proposal naturally had no way of convincing the several “Earth-level” before him. They stood in front of the “Human-level,” looking righteously determined to protect them as they retreated.

“Shit… my negotiation skills really need improvement.”

As soon as the words fell, several “Earth-level” attacked again. Qiao Jiajin increased his force slightly, and a few straight punches made everyone retreat repeatedly.

He looked back at the Earth-Mouse, who instantly understood. With a flash, he positioned himself behind all the “Human-level,” blocking everyone’s path.

“Little leaders, no one is to leave from here. I guarantee you won’t die,” the Earth-Mouse said in a serious voice. He knew that alarming the “Heaven-level” at this time, while not an extremely thorny problem, would still waste a lot of time.

Over a dozen “Human-level” were blocked by the Earth-Mouse, caught in a dilemma for a moment. They could only place their hopes on their teachers, but could their teachers defeat that “Participant”?
