Zhao Feng had just finished meditating when suddenly, he heard panicked screams from the center of the room. The sound shattered the silence and drew all his attention. Without a second thought, Zhao Feng quickly moved toward the source of the noise.
As he approached, he saw a horrifying scene. A large monster with scaly skin and glowing red eyes was rampaging, attacking terrified people around it. In the midst of the chaos, Zhao Feng saw two young women cornered by the monster; they looked frightened and helpless.
Relying on his instincts and newfound powers, Zhao Feng immediately planned his action. He saw the kitchen knife he was holding.
Without hesitation, he took the knife and focused his mind on the Telekinetic Focus Technique. Energy flowed through his body, giving him full control over the space and time around him.
With swift and decisive movements, Zhao Feng threw the kitchen knife. Instead of flying straight, the knife vanished from sight momentarily, shifting places in an instant and appearing right in front of the monster's head. In one deadly move, the knife lodged deep into the monster's head, stopping its movement and killing it instantly.

The monster let out one last roar before collapsing to the floor, dead. The supermarket visitors who witnessed the event were silent for a moment, then cheers and relieved voices were heard everywhere. The two young women who had almost become the monster's victims now lay unconscious on the floor. Ensuring they were not bitten by the monster, he nodded slightly, observing his surroundings.
Zhao Feng realized that there were still thirteen more monsters rampaging in the supermarket. With the Telekinetic Focus Technique only usable four more times, Zhao Feng had 100 Cosmic Energy, expending 20 energy each time using the Telekinetic Focus Technique.
He had to be cautious in its use and rely more on his close-combat skills.
Without wasting time, he quickly moved to another aisle, finding two monsters attacking an old woman. Without hesitation, Zhao Feng threw another kitchen knife, using the Telekinetic Focus Technique to teleport it directly to the head of one monster. The knife struck accurately, killing the monster instantly. One monster left.

The remaining monster roared angrily and attacked Zhao Feng with its sharp claws. Zhao Feng deftly dodged, rolling on the floor and quickly getting back up.
He grabbed an iron rod from a nearby rack and used it as a weapon.
With agile movements, Zhao Feng blocked the monster's attack, using the momentum to strike back. He swung the iron rod with precision, hitting the monster's head hard, causing it to stagger. Zhao Feng didn't give the monster a chance to recover. He attacked with a series of quick, accurate strikes, ending the monster's life with a powerful blow to its skull.

Zhao Feng ran to another area, where three monsters were rampaging, destroying shelves and attacking fleeing visitors. He knew he had to act quickly. Grabbing three small knives from the kitchenware aisle, he threw them one by one, using the Telekinetic Focus Technique to direct the knives to each monster's vital points. Three monsters fell instantly, adding to the number he had eliminated.
Now there were only nine monsters left. Zhao Feng felt his energy limits approaching, but he didn't back down. With high fighting spirit, he faced the next approaching monster.
Zhao Feng ran toward the monster, using the iron rod as a spear. He dodged the monster's claws with agile movements and spun the rod in his hands, stabbing it into the monster's heart. The monster roared in pain and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing four monsters rushing towards him, Zhao Feng grabbed two more knives and used his remaining two Telekinetic Focus techniques, the knives lodging in the heads of two monsters, killing them instantly.
Now only seven monsters remained, and Zhao Feng could no longer use his technique.
He took a deep breath, preparing himself for close combat with the remaining monsters.
Zhao Feng leaped toward two approaching monsters, dodging their claws with quick and precise movements.
He used the iron rod to attack their weak points, smashing one monster's head and stabbing the other's stomach forcefully.
Zhao Feng kept moving, dodging attacks and countering with precision. He used his surroundings, jumping from shelf to shelf and using nearby items as improvised weapons. He kicked one monster hard, causing it to stagger back. Then, he used the iron rod to end its life.
Now there were only three monsters left. Despite feeling exhausted, he gripped the iron rod tightly. Zhao Feng knew he had to end this quickly.
He leaped towards the next monster, dodging its claws and counterattacking with full force. He used the iron rod to break one monster's neck, then ran towards the last monster. With one quick move, he stabbed the rod into the monster's throat, stopping its roar and ending its life.
The supermarket finally returned to calm.
Zhao Feng stood in the middle of the messy room, his breath heavy but full of momentum. He had defeated all the monsters.
Zhao Feng took a deep breath, feeling the tension slowly subsiding after defeating all the monsters. He looked around, making sure there were no more threats left.
Zhao Feng examined the body of one of the monsters he had defeated, trying to understand more about these creatures.
According to his memory, these monsters are called Defected Beings. Defected beings can infect humans with dirty cosmic energy. A person becomes a defected being if their body fails to evolve into a higher being.
Defected monsters are very dangerous because every bite contains dirty cosmic energy that damages. Once a monster bites its victim, this energy enters the target's bloodstream, causing unusual wounds.
This dirty cosmic energy has destructive and transformative properties, unlike pure cosmic energy that strengthens and repairs. Once inside the body, this dirty energy begins to spread rapidly, damaging healthy cells and replacing them with mutated tissue.
Dirty cosmic energy triggers rapid mutation processes, turning the infected humans into beings similar to the monster itself. This mutation is not only physical but also mental, altering the behavior of the victims to become aggressive and uncontrollable, like the monster that infected them.
Victims of the bite will start showing infection symptoms within a few minutes. This can start with extreme pain around the bite area, followed by high fever, seizures, and changes in skin color around the wound.
Within a few minutes, the victims will undergo a full transformation into monsters. Their bodies will change drastically, with scaly skin, eyes turning bright red, and a rapid increase in physical strength.
