The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

So they got a bit arrogant, feeling that cultivators weren't that impressive after all.

But what they never expected was that the calamity that had just struck them was actually man-made, and it was caused by this ridiculously young cultivator before them.

Everyone was truly astonished this time.

However, after the shock, they faced a huge problem: what should they do next?

The massive fortress walls surrounded them, and a membrane sealed the top, meaning they had no way out.

The walls were completely solid without even a window, leaving them utterly trapped.

Upon realizing this, the people felt a sense of despair again, although not as much as when they were imprisoned earlier, because at least this place was large, enough for them to live, with forests and grounds suitable for cultivation.

The people began to discuss going into the forest to find food for the next couple of days. If they found any cultivatable food, they would bring it back and plant it together, so it could become their food supply in the future.

No one knew how long they would be stuck here, and if it were indefinite, they needed to prepare these essentials. Although they might not have meat, they should still try to find grains, spices, and other supplies, as living would be meaningless without them.

Ye Tianfan did not join them because he had a more important task: finding an exit.

Ye Tianfan did not believe there was no way out. If there were truly no exit, how did the people from the small boat, who took a civilian away before his eyes, leave? There must at least be a hidden passage.

Therefore, Ye Tianfan decided to search carefully to see if he could find any hidden passages or exits, because he did not want to stay here forever. Although he could focus on cultivating here without distraction, he couldn't stand staying too long!

Ye Tianfan searched everywhere but found no exits or hidden passages, which frustrated him greatly.

Is it possible that one has to cultivate to a certain level here, then break through the membrane above to leave?

Not to mention how much power it would take to break the membrane, based on Ye Tianfan's previous attacks, it would require at least more than a hundredfold strength to break it instantly before the Array could evenly distribute the attacks over the entire fortress.

Ye Tianfan estimated that reaching such strength would take him about ten years.

It was unrealistic for Ye Tianfan to stay here for ten years; he was unwilling to remain trapped and wanted out immediately.

As Ye Tianfan was troubled, and everyone was feeling anxious.

Noontime arrived, and the sun emitted its highest heat of the day.

At that moment, one of the fortress walls began to open up from both sides.

Upon seeing this, Ye Tianfan decided to investigate although he was unsure of what was happening.

But just then, from the gap that had opened, more than ten black demon beasts resembling leopards charged in.

Their teeth were incredibly sharp, each beast was about 1.6 meters long, their bodies entirely glossy black, and their eyes glowed with a ghostly green light.

Ye Tianfan recognized these demon beasts as soon as he saw them. Though they weren't formidable to him, they were deadly to civilians and could easily overpower some people who had undergone experiments.

Even so, Ye Tianfan decided to deal with these demon beasts to prevent harm from coming to the people below.

The people witnessed a crimson barrier suddenly envelop those dozen or so black demon beasts, and then Ye Tianfan grasped with his right hand, causing the barrier to contract sharply.

Immediately, Ye Tianfan heard the pitiful cries of the demon beasts within the barrier, which soon faded, and he could even smell a hint of roasted meat.

"See if these demon beasts can be eaten. I'll scout inside; if there's a way out, we can leave today." Ye Tianfan told everyone, then flew toward the open gate.

However, just then, Ye Tianfan halted and shouted to the people below, "Find somewhere to hide; the thing coming now is truly terrifying!"

In the direction Ye Tianfan watched, a massive figure silently emerged from the gate.

Seeing this giant creature, not only did Ye Tianfan hold his breath, but the people below were also frightened into silence, finally understanding Ye Tianfan's warning.

Everyone had been experimented on, with traces of demon beasts in them, so the massive figure ahead exerted a bloodline suppression on them.

It was like a towering mountain, its body covered in pitch-black fur that appeared even darker under the blazing sun, and despite being on all fours, it resembled a small mountain in size.

From the outside, it looked like a cross between an ape and a gorilla; its entire body was jet black except for its lantern-sized eyes that glimmered with a citrine glow.

This giant's body was unbelievably robust, with not only an immense size but muscles as hard as granite, towering like hills.

Ye Tianfan immediately recognized what kind of demon beast this was, having read about it in books. It was a type that even his master would find troublesome.

This demon beast was known as the Black Ape King.

It was an extremely ferocious creature, striking anything that moved when angered.

Moreover, its slapping force was deadly; even if Ye Tianfan used his Xuanyuan Tower, it wouldn't withstand a single slap from the Black Ape King.

Ye Tianfan instinctively swallowed hard, recalling the book's description of the Black Ape King.
