20 seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Zichen emerged unscathed from the Exotic Plant Level and arrived at the Exotic Beast Level of the second stage.
Elsewhere.
Special Training Building.
On the rooftop.
The leaders from City No.1, including Qin Chuan, were utterly shocked and couldn't believe their eyes when they saw that Lin Zichen had fast-passed the Exotic Plant Level in just over a minute without a scratch.
"What's happening, why aren't the exotic plants in the forest attacking him, and are even uprooting themselves to make way for him?"
"Could it be... like the heretics from the Divine Plant Cult, he has fused with the gene of the Wood Elf?"
"No, that's not right, he's on the Pureblood Human Path of Body Refinement, he hasn't fused with any Exotic Beast Gene, so he shouldn't have the abilities of the Wood Elf!"
"So what exactly is going on here?!"
"..."
While everyone was puzzled and could not figure it out,
Qin Chuan, the City Lord, furrowed his brow and offered his analysis:
"It's spiritual power."
"That lad named Lin Zichen has an exceptionally strong spiritual power."
"He must have used his spiritual power to suppress the exotic plants around him, and then removed the ones in his path with his spiritual power, creating the magical scene of the plants making way for him."
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone else was stunned.
If it was as Qin Chuan said, how high must Lin Zichen's spiritual strength be?
High-Order High Level?
Close to the level of Rare?
But how could that be possible!
Many Genetic Integrators from the Spiritual Series couldn't possess such strong spiritual power while their Biological Level was still at High Level.
And Lin Zichen, being a Pureblood Human following the Body Refinement path, his spiritual power, however strong, shouldn't exceed that of a Spiritual Series Genetic Integrator, theoretically speaking.
"Could it be due to some special physique?"
Then, with a vacuum grip, he would suck the scattered Beast Core into his hand and into the Storage Space within his Sea of Consciousness.
Simultaneously, with just a thought, he devoured their Life Origin.

Inside the second-level Exotic Beast Level,
Lin Zichen was not aiming for speed in completing the stage but instead went wherever the beasts were most numerous, taking down one Exotic Beast with each punch, crazily collecting Beast Cores and devouring exotic beast genes.
In just a few short minutes,
The second stage, which had been swarming with beasts, had turned deadly silent due to his slaughter, and the roars of the beasts were nearly inaudible.
...
Special Training Building.
On the rooftop.
Seeing Lin Zichen unleashing a massacre in the second level, where all Exotic Beasts were no match for him, left the leaders dumbfounded.
They had never imagined Lin Zichen's physical body could be so powerful.
No matter the beast, it was blasted with a single punch.
The leader surnamed Qian spoke with an incredulous face, "Even High-Level Fourth Order beasts are blasted with one punch, is the Pureblood Human Path really that powerful?"
The Deputy City Lord surnamed Bai took a sharp breath, "Judging by his performance just now, his full-power output has to be at least at the level of a High-Level Fifth Order, even nearing that of a High-Level Sixth Order."
