Three days after Joel vanished on Chongyun Mountain, Mr. Liang threw John into an enclosed space.
This enclosed space was different from the ones John had been in before, where the "Blood Beasts" resided - as soon as the door opened and he stepped in, he fell into water.
At about five meters underwater, John saw a seemingly ordinary turtle, about the size of a washbasin.
But the next instant, the turtle was no longer "ordinary". Its shell split open in the middle like a chrysanthemum blooming, and seven golden needle-shaped tentacles burst out, rushing towards him.
This time, John was allowed to bring his little porcelain knife in. He did not attempt to dodge, but instead, marched straight towards the tentacles. Thanks to the significant improvements in tissue strength and recovery ability from his recent two-stage transformations, he planned a quick "close combat" to test the abilities of this "mutated turtle".
