called, all fall into very generalized and discriminatory terms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we go by the most official terminology, all humans who are not from noble families but possess extraordinary abilities are classified as monsters, which can specifically be divided into five categories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is, ghouls, werewolves, Blood Clan, merfolk, and the demon beasts that can’t be fully categorized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark and silent chat room, two glowing figures faced each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold voice floated softly, continuously narrating secrets unknown to the public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this seemingly ordinary world, there exists a dark corner belonging to the monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From ancient times, from Primitive Tribes to the civilized era, extraordinary power has always existed and never faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They mingled among the crowd, coexisting with ordinary people in society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that humans with extraordinary abilities are also a branch in the process of human evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why they would eat their own kind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer is due to food scarcity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To obtain sufficient strength, the energy from lower-grade food is definitely not enough to satisfy bodily needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During evolution, intake of at least the same grade of food is necessary to maintain physiological functions and ensure that one doesn’t lose strength due to bodily weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And human flesh contains richer nutrients, this is undoubtedly true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, just like the Neanderthals of prehistoric times, driven by the instinct of hunger, they developed an uncontrollable desire to eat human flesh, becoming predators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those noble families were fortunate enough to master some mysterious power, allowing them to successfully rid themselves of monster status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on their extraordinary strength, they passed it down through generations, with noble bloodlines, and stood proudly at the top of society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas other predators faced numerous restrictions, becoming forbidden secrets and choosing to hide in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Correspondingly, throughout the dynasties, there were official organizations similar to the Special Search Team, specifically tasked with exterminating man-eating monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the special abilities of monsters like ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Smiling Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary ghouls generally have faster speed and strength than the average person and possess a certain degree of healing ability, with sharp claws and teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With continuous evolution, all their abilities will significantly improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some can extend their tongues to use as weapons, and even more powerful ones can manipulate corpses and shapeshift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the ghoul leaders, aside from the basic ability to command lower-level ghouls, they each possess some special abilities unknown to outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they also have a fatal weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can only appear at night, as moving under the sunlight accelerates the decay of their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient texts of Xia Country, similar to the records of the Six Dynasties, also mentioned rumors about ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Believed that these monsters originally came from the Western Regions with the spread of Buddhism into the Central Plains and then gradually dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to the explanation, Fang Cheng finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that this was the reason why both the Murderer in front of him and that ghoul considered him one of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having understood the true nature of things, he felt considerably relieved and casually asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think I belong to which category of monsters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you the same as me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Smiling Demon responded, somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he let out a sigh filled with a tinge of envy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your family has produced several famous Murderers, and for you to remain unharmed after awakening your abilities in this generation is indeed very rare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",589,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.898Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","dac8c770a79f5c6909f059e99c3c814b7035a8a62c87762006067af4813bafb0","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-224","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-222",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
