Besides the water bear, sacred beetle, and tiger beetle, the power of the peacock mantis shrimp was also not to be underestimated.
Despite its body being no larger than eighteen centimeters, the peacock mantis shrimp could unleash a force even greater than a bullet!
The large raptorial appendages on its chest had incredibly powerful spring-loaded strength.
These limbs could shoot out at a top speed of over 80 kilometers per hour!
Its acceleration surpassed that of a 5.588mm caliber pistol bullet!
The instantaneous friction generated such high heat that it could even cause sparks underwater, creating a shockwave in the ocean. Each punch carried a force of 1500 newtons.
If a human possessed such arm strength, they could throw a baseball into geosynchronous orbit.
Naturally, to be able to deliver such a fearsome "sonic punch," the peacock mantis shrimp's body had to be extremely sturdy as well.
Otherwise, every time it punched, even if the enemy was destroyed, its own claws would be ruined too.
The peacock mantis shrimp had three distinct structural layers, whose hardness could even exceed engineering ceramics of the same thickness.
The outermost layer resembled the mineral composition of human bones, and even when its shell cracked, the fractures wouldn't spread rapidly.
The middle layer consisted of multi-layered fibers arranged in a spiral pattern, acting like a natural bulletproof vest that could twist and flex to absorb external impact, preventing easy breakage.
The innermost layer was a fiber-wrapped coating, much like the tape boxers wrap around their fists, providing overall protection.
It was both offensive and defensive, even stronger than the blunt-toothed paddle crab.
"This peacock mantis shrimp is practically the Godzilla of the shrimp world! So powerful!!"
After reading up on the peacock mantis shrimp, Li Chuxi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
And beyond its superhuman attack and defense capabilities, the peacock mantis shrimp also had vision far superior to humans.
It could see color across a spectrum that encompassed the entire range visible to humans.
Even more impressively, it could perceive ultraviolet and infrared light that humans couldn't!
While humans had binocular vision with three types of cone cells—leading us to define the three primary colors of light as red, green, and blue—mantis shrimps had six-fold vision imaging and compound eyes, with four times the number of cone cells and thousands of light-receiving units.
Some species of mantis shrimp could even distinguish sixteen different types of color!
This unique visual structure also enabled them to see polarized light and circularly polarized light.
"If I could get in contact with water bears and peacock mantis shrimps, my cellular evolution might just push my life level to the fifth tier!"
The thought surged through Li Chuxi's mind, and her heart grew even more excited.
At the peak of the fourth-tier lifeform, one could already slay advanced ferocious beasts and rival Martial Grandmasters!
If she advanced to the fifth tier, could she then go toe-to-toe with Martial Generals and even hunt elite-level ferocious beasts?
"Water bears live just about everywhere on Earth, even in parking lots."
"But peacock mantis shrimps are a different story—they live in the ocean, and Jiang City isn't near the sea."
"I didn't see any for sale the last time I went to the seafood market either."
"As for the sacred beetle and tiger beetle, they're relatively common. I should be able to find them if I put in the effort in Jiang City."
Li Chuxi suddenly remembered the electric eel.
She still couldn't forget its electrifying discharge abilities.
Although she had already developed moves like the "Straight Fire" and "Circular Fire," they still relied on her ability to control fire—which, of course, required a source of fire.
If her lighter ran out of butane or there was no flame nearby, she would find herself in the awkward situation of a skilled cook with no rice to cook.
"Luckily, after I killed the advanced ferocious beast Windbreath Beast, my cells evolved, and my Qi manipulation and wind control abilities advanced from Lv2 to Lv3."
The Windbreath Beast resembled a large flying squirrel, but with a bigger body, scaled skin, and a pig-like snout. It was a powerful, high-level ferocious beast.
Its limbs had gliding membranes. Juvenile Windbreath Beasts could only glide using these membranes, but once mature, they could ride the wind, lift their gliding membranes, and fly like birds.
Its snout could even fire wind cannons with the power of high-caliber bullets, making it incredibly difficult to fight.
If the Windbreath Beast hadn't already been injured, and if Li Chuxi's Qi control ability hadn't just happened to counter it, she might not have been able to kill it.
"Oh right, even though I haven't received my Bronze Medal yet, the official records already list me as a full-fledged Warrior. That means I can log into the Warrior Forum now!"
The Warrior Forum was an exclusive online platform created by the Warrior Association for all Warriors around the world.
Only those who had become Official Warriors could log in and experience just how powerful this forum was!
With a mix of nervousness and anticipation, Li Chuxi logged into the Warrior Forum.
The forum was divided into sections like Martial World, Forest of the Mighty, United We Stand, Divine Weapons and Miraculous Elixirs, Legends and Tales of the Martial World, and more.
Martial World focused mainly on discussions and sharing of Martial Way cultivation experiences.
Forest of the Mighty featured various rankings compiled by enthusiasts—like the Grandmaster Ranking, Martial General Ranking, Martial Lord Ranking, etc.
There were also stories about the legendary Martial Kings, Martial Emperors, and other well-known powerhouses.
United We Stand was a task board.
Warriors could post or accept tasks there.
Divine Weapons and Miraculous Elixirs was a trading platform where users could purchase items sold by the Warrior Association.
If someone came across a valuable item, they could even anonymously list it for sale there.
As for third-party appraisals? That depended entirely on whether the seller was willing to hire one.
Legends and Tales of the Martial World was just a place for Warriors to chat and shoot the breeze.
Usually, this section had the most posts and the highest activity.
Every day, tons of rumors and gossip would spread out from the Legends and Tales section.
Li Chuxi thought for a moment and clicked on Divine Weapons and Miraculous Elixirs to take a look.
Combat suits, divine weapons, spiritual elixirs—all kinds of items appeared before her eyes.
Even though Li Chuxi didn't practice the Martial Way, she couldn't help but feel envious at the sight of all this gear.
But after glancing at the prices, she could only sigh—everything was eye-wateringly expensive.
"Ares Combat Suit Set, capable of withstanding the claws of elite-level ferocious beasts—eighty million Flame Nation Coins?"
"Ten Qi Condensation Pills—forty million?"
"The Hammer of Hasar, forged from a new Kro alloy metal, able to tear through the scales of commander-level beasts with ease—three billion?!"
Li Chuxi took a casual glance and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
These prices were… outrageous!
She could already imagine just how expensive the Martial Way would be for her brother Li Shiji.
He was practically a four-legged money-eating beast!
